When classes officially started after the Christmas holiday, Wentworth and Cedric returned to the fast pace before Christmas.

They attend classes during the day, and go to the Room of Requirement to practice spells together at night. On weekends, they go to the Shrieking Shack to study with Lupin. It can be said that their life is very fulfilling.

Green was busy with the OWLS exam. Apart from attending classes every day, he would go to the library to review.

After the Christmas holiday, it means that half of the school year has passed. At this time, the competition for the college cup will enter a white-hot stage, and each college will frantically scramble for points.

However, normally, by this stage, Slytherin's scores would have been far ahead of those of the other three houses.

But this year is different. Hufflepuff, which has always been in third or fourth place in the past, has a score comparable to Slytherin this year.

The reason for this is that, in addition to the fact that Hufflepuff gained a large number of points at the beginning of this school year, it is also inseparable from the fact that in the first few months of this year, Professor Ilona, ​​the teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, seemed to have a special preference for Hufflepuff, just like Professor Snape's preference for Slytherin.

This resulted in the scores of Hufflepuff and Slytherin always rising alternately.

At the beginning of this school year, Hufflepuff's victory in the duel between Slytherin greatly boosted the morale of the Hufflepuff house. At the same time, Green, as the new head of Hufflepuff, also won the recognition of students within the house.

Under Green's leadership, Hufflepuff is also very rare, determined to win the House Cup. In Green's words: "As a Hufflepuff, you have to use the biggest bowl and eat the softest meal!"

As good friends, Cedric and Wentworth were also repeatedly told by Green:

"Remember this, you two. This is the best year for Hufflepuff to win the House Cup. You two can't let me down!"

Wentworth yawned out of boredom and said to Green with sleepy eyes: "Is this why you woke us up in the middle of the night?"

Although Green's words were full of passion, for Wentworth, who was no longer a rookie in the wizarding world and had seen many big scenes, the College Cup really did not interest him.

Green patted Wentworth's thigh and said, "Wentworth, my leader! You must show your fighting spirit! Don't forget your identity! In the future, you will be responsible for restoring the glory of the Witch Party. You can't even accomplish something as trivial as winning the College Cup!"

Cedric next to Wentworth spread his hands and said:

"It's just that the House Cup is a matter for the entire house. You can't expect the two of us to win the House Cup for Hufflepuff, right?"

Green slapped Cedric's hand back and said, "In fact, the main force in the competition for the House Cup is the students from the first to fourth grades. The fifth grade students are busy with the OWLS exams, and the sixth and seventh grade students are busy with graduation. They have almost no impact on the House Cup."

"And among the first to fourth graders, especially the first and second graders, they are often the main force in getting extra points! After all, as lower grade students, the professors are mostly encouraging you. If you answer any question correctly, you can get extra points, but the seniors don't have this treatment! On the contrary, if you answer a question incorrectly, the professors will deduct points!"

At this point, Green curled his lips, as if he was thinking of some bad memories.

But Green soon adjusted himself and continued, "You two, although there is still some gap between you and me as the class leader, you still have an overwhelming advantage among your peers. Your task for the next period of time is to earn points for me like crazy! Not to mention completely overwhelming Slytherin, at least we can't let Slytherin widen the score gap!"

Hearing this, Cedric asked in confusion: "Why is that? Why should the House Cup definitely belong to us just because our scores are similar to Slytherin's?"

Wentworth said, "Is it because of the Quidditch match?"

Green snapped his fingers, pointed at Wentworth and said:

"That's right! In this year's Quidditch match, we have already defeated the strongest Slytherin, and those nerds from Ravenclaw don't count. As long as we defeat Gryffindor, the championship will definitely belong to us, Hufflepuff! And the Quidditch champion can get a lot of points in the House Cup! So, work hard to earn points, boy!"

After listening to Green's explanation, Cedric nodded in sudden realization, but Wentworth raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, Cedric, I have nothing to say. Not to mention the second grade, even if he is placed in the third or fourth grade, Cedric can also be a scoring machine."

"But don't forget, there is a Cassandra in the first grade! And she happens to be a Slytherin! Other subjects are fine, as long as Cassandra grasps Snape's Potions class, it will be easier for her to score than to brew a pot of potion. After all, brewing a pot of potion requires hands, but she only needs to move her mouth!"

After hearing what Wentworth said, Green glared at Wentworth angrily and said:

"It's just a woman, Wentworth. Be more confident. Can't you conquer a woman?"

Hearing Green say this, Wentworth immediately straightened his back and said, "Nonsense, don't forget, she took the initiative to become my follower!"

At this point, Wentworth shrank back again and continued, "It's just that I didn't agree..."

Green couldn't help rolling his eyes, but in the end he patted Wentworth on the shoulder and said mysteriously:

"Don't worry, Wentworth. I have my own way to deal with Cassandra!"

"Solution? What solution?"

Wentworth couldn't help but ask curiously.

But Green shook his head and said with a smile that he would keep it a secret.

Wentworth glanced at Cedric beside him, only to see that Cedric also spread his hands, indicating that he knew nothing. Helplessly, Wentworth did not think about it any more.

No matter what they said or how much they quarreled, seeing that Green seemed to have a special obsession with this year's House Cup and was determined to win it, Wentworth and Cedric made up their minds to help him. After all, they really didn't want to watch Slytherin win the House Cup for the sixth consecutive time in front of them.
