Chapter 186 Before the Duel



"Harry, I will prove to you tonight that everything I said is right!"

Draco said to Harry very confidently.

Harry greeted Wentworth first, and then said to Draco: "Draco, we are friends. Actually, I don't want to fight you, but if you insist, then I am willing to accept your invitation to duel!"

Hearing Harry say this, Draco couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then said: "Harry, wait for me tonight!"

Wentworth, in fact, was not very interested in the duel between Harry and Draco itself. He just stood aside and watched the whole scene with an attitude of watching the show.

Afterwards, Wentworth entered the auditorium and walked towards his usual seat. However, halfway through, he discovered that Cedric and Green were putting their heads together, seemingly communicating something.

Wentworth walked over and slapped each of them, then said, "What are you two talking about secretly?"

Wentworth's sudden arrival obviously startled the two men. They looked at each other, and Green said quickly:

"No, what can we talk about? By the way, why didn't I see you much today? Where have you been?"

Hearing Green's question, Wentworth said with a smile on his face: "Well, I went to be the mastermind! By the way, Cedric, let's put our spell practice on hold for tonight! Tonight, I'm going to the Room of Requirement to watch a good show!"

Cedric was discussing with Green how to tactfully and unobtrusively tell Wentworth that he would not go to the Room of Requirement tonight. After all, he had already promised Cassandra that they would discuss the establishment of a new secret organization in Hogwarts tonight.

But before I could say anything, Wentworth spoke first.

Just when Cedric breathed a sigh of relief, he saw a hint of confusion in Green's eyes when he looked at him.

Then, Cedric suddenly realized, Wentworth, was he deliberately creating an opportunity for himself? So, Cassandra's guess was actually true? Wentworth had really been hinting at us to establish a new secret organization in Hogwarts?

Just as Green and Cedric were "exchanging glances", Wentworth suddenly put his face between the two of them, frowned, and asked curiously:

"What are you two thinking about?"

Cedric and Green quickly looked away, and Cedric immediately responded, "Okay Wentworth, go ahead and do your work. I can take a break tonight!"

Wentworth said in surprise, "Why, aren't you two curious about what the show is? I thought you two would compete to go there with me?"

Hearing Wentworth say this, Cedric was stunned, but fortunately Green reacted quickly. He immediately laughed, put his arm around Wentworth's shoulders, and said, "Hey, Wentworth, you are a big figure in the wizarding world now! Although not many wizards know you... If you have anything to do, just go and do it. It's been a long time since I played cards with Cedric, so we can relax tonight!"

Wentworth looked at Cedric and Green suspiciously, and said:

"Why do I always feel like you two are hiding something from me?!"

Hearing this, Green laughed and said, "How is that possible? You are the leader of the two of us. Are you Cedric?"

Cedric nodded repeatedly at the side.

At this moment, a sumptuous dinner happened to appear on the dining table in the hall. So, Wentworth inherited the good tradition of Hufflepuff, ignored the two mysterious people, and started to eat attentively, which made Cedric and Green breathe a sigh of relief.

Walking behind Wentworth, Green quietly made an OK gesture to Cassandra, indicating that Cedric had told him everything and he agreed with Cassandra's ideas and proposals.

Seeing this, Cassandra looked at Wentworth meaningfully and smiled unconsciously.

When Wentworth saw Cassandra's smile, he was confused.

On the other side, Draco also walked up to Harry and the other two and said confidently:

"Remember to wait for me tonight!"

Hermione beside Harry asked quickly, "But curfew is about to begin. Where are you going to duel? If we attract the professor or Filch, none of us will be able to escape!"

Hearing Hermione's question, Draco couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, I have a way. I promise that no one will find us!"

At this time, in the principal's office of Hogwarts, Professor Snape was quietly looking at Dumbledore in front of him. Dumbledore at this moment had a look of deep thought on his face.

After a long while, Dumbledore finally spoke: "So you think I should fire Professor Quirrell?"

Snape said anxiously:

"Principal Dumbledore, there is something wrong with Quirrell. I suspect it is that person. Behind Quirrell is that person!"

"Today, when I was eavesdropping outside the door, the more I listened, the more I felt something was wrong. When I broke into the room, although Harry and the others had their backs to Quirrell and didn't notice, I saw clearly that Quirrell had already pointed his wand at Harry!"

Seeing Snape's anxious expression, Dumbledore waved his hand to signal Quirrell to calm down, and then said: "But we don't have any evidence, right? Perhaps Quirrell just wanted to take out his wand and demonstrate it to Harry and the others?"

Hearing Dumbledore say this, Snape looked at Dumbledore with a complicated expression, and said slowly: "Dumbledore, I can't let Harry bear the risks caused by the mistakes I made!"

After saying that, Snape stood up and was about to turn and leave.

At this moment, Dumbledore called Snape from behind: "Wait a minute, Severus!"

Then, Dumbledore walked to Snape and said slowly:

"Don't worry, Severus, I promised you that I will ensure Harry's safety!"

"I have been planning for that person for several years, and now, I am more confident than before!"

After hearing what Dumbledore said, Snape said without turning his head: "Because of the child of the Grindelwald family?"

Dumbledore's response was straightforward: "Yes, it's because of Wentworth Grindelwald!"
