Seeing Professor McGonagall angrily leaving the classroom, everyone was confused, except Wentworth, who had a bad feeling in his heart after Professor McGonagall's last glance and hurried towards Cassandra.
When he came to Cassandra, Wentworth found that Cassandra did not seem to be greatly affected by Professor McGonagall at this time. Instead, she was looking at the cufflink in her hand with a satisfied look on her face.
Wentworth leaned over and stretched his head to look at the cufflinks on Cassandra's hand, only to see that Cassandra had placed the cufflinks directly in front of him.
Wentworth saw the symbol of the Deathly Hallows on the cufflinks at a glance, and immediately felt his blood boiling.
"Does it look good? I'll give it to you!"
Cassandra said to Wentworth with a smile, ignoring the surprised looks of the Slytherin students around her.
Wentworth took Cassandra's cufflinks, smiled a smile uglier than crying, nodded and said:
"Thank you, Cassandra. Remember to give me a real one next time. After all, things created by Transfiguration won't last long."
After walking out of the classroom, Professor McGonagall went straight to Dumbledore's office.
"Albus, today in class..."
Before Professor McGonagall could finish her words, Dumbledore waved his hand and handed a cup of unknown hot tea to Professor McGonagall.
"Minerva, don't get excited, have a drink first..."
But before Headmaster Dumbledore could finish his words, Professor McGonagall waved her hand and sent the cup of tea back, saying, "Listen to me! In class today..."
Then, Professor McGonagall told Dumbledore everything that happened in class today, especially the cufflinks with the Deathly Hallows symbol made by Cassandra.
At the end, Professor McGonagall said in a rather anxious tone:
"Principal Dumbledore, I think our worst fear has already happened. Wentworth has actually started to develop his wizard party in Hogwarts! As the deputy principal of Hogwarts, I will never allow this to happen!"
After hearing what Professor McGonagall said, Dumbledore's expression was very calm.
"You knew that already? Albus!"
Facing the doubts, Dumbledore said calmly:
"Professor McGonagall, I think you need to hear this story first!"
"On the third day after Christmas, a banquet was held in Cassandra's family estate..."
In the next ten minutes or so, Dumbledore told Professor McGonagall everything that happened in the Ravo family manor.
At the end of the story, Dumbledore said: "So, Cassandra's incident can be said to be an accident, or a special case. As for Cedric and Green, we had expected this, didn't we? Don't worry, if Wentworth really wants to develop a witch party in Hogwarts, I will talk to him!"
After listening to Dumbledore's story, Professor McGonagall nodded thoughtfully and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder Cassandra became an accomplice of those people. Thank God, Thomas is still alive! But, Dumbledore, how do you know so much? You weren't there at the scene, were you?"
Dumbledore winked playfully and explained:
On the other side, Wentworth returned to the dormitory and immediately called Cedric and Green over, told them everything that happened in the Transfiguration class today, and instructed them:
"Professor McGonagall will definitely tell Headmaster Dumbledore what happened today. I don't know how Headmaster Dumbledore will react. If anything unexpected happens, you should find a way to go to Hogsmeade. Carrow is there."
After hearing Wentworth's instructions, Cedric and Green looked at each other. Finally, Cedric said, "Wentworth, are you being overly suspicious? I don't think Headmaster Dumbledore would..."
But Wentworth waved his hand to interrupt Cedric and said, "I also hope that Headmaster Dumbledore understands that this is not my intention. However, we can't put all our hopes on others, can we?"
Hearing Wentworth's words, Cedric and Green had no choice but to nod and agree.
In the following days, everything was calm, which allowed Wentworth to relax his tense nerves and continue to engage in the intense scoring phase with Cedric.
Especially Wentworth. For several consecutive classes, Wentworth completed the tasks assigned by the professor ahead of Cassandra, winning extra points for Hufflepuff.
Just when Wentworth was doubting whether he was really gifted and had surpassed Cassandra in all aspects in just half a year, Cassandra's performance in Snape's Potions class told Wentworth that it was not what he thought.
Because the entire Hufflepuff, under the call of Green, especially led by Wentworth and Cedric, began to scramble for points frantically, in just a few days, Hufflepuff's scores were ahead of Slytherin by a small margin, which made the entire Slytherin feel the pressure.
After waiting for a long time for Snape's Potions class, the little Slytherin snakes were all waiting to use the Potions class to make a comeback.
Not long into the class, Professor Snape took out a piece of net-like plant and asked:
"I was hoping you wouldn't tell me you didn't know what this was?"
Faced with Snape's question, although Wentworth knew that there was little hope, he still raised his hand.
But Snape only glanced at Wentworth and then turned his gaze in the direction of Slytherin House.
Seeing Snape's gaze sweeping in their direction, all the first-year Slytherin students subconsciously turned their eyes to Cassandra. After all, Cassandra had proved with practical actions who was the big sister among the first-year Slytherin students.
However, at this time, Cassandra sat firmly in her seat without any expression, and the scene became awkward for a while.
Next to Cassandra, another Slytherin student seemed a little hesitant. Just as he was still wondering whether to raise his hand, he suddenly felt a gaze.
Looking in the direction of the gaze, he happened to see Cassandra, looking at him intently.
It turned out that this world really had eyes that could speak, because he clearly saw a hint of warning in Cassandra's eyes, so he quickly put down his half-raised hand.
Seeing that no one in Slytherin raised their hand, Snape had no choice but to call out Wentworth's name.
"It's the Devil's Snare, Professor."
Snape waved Wentworth to sit down, and then he didn't ask another question for the entire class.
