The next morning, when Wentworth saw Cedric and Green in the Great Hall of Hogwarts, he was shocked by their appearance.

"What's wrong with you two? Why are your eyes so dark? You look like you've been indulging yourself in sexual activities too much!"

Cedric yawned and said:

"I was dragged by Green to play cards in his room last night. I was so sleepy!"

Wentworth frowned, but asked curiously:

"Besides you two, who else can endure so much?"

At this time, Cedric, who looked half asleep and a little dazed, blurted out:

"Cassandra."

"Who? Cassandra? The three of you?!"

As soon as he said this, Cedric suddenly came to his senses and thought to himself that something was wrong.

But fortunately, Cedric suddenly had an idea, and he looked behind Wentworth and said, "Why didn't Cassandra come this morning? I have something else that I want to trouble her with! By the way, Wentworth, what did you ask me just now?"

Wentworth rolled his eyes in annoyance and turned to look behind him. As expected, Cassandra, who usually sat not far behind him, was nowhere to be seen today.

Seeing this, Wentworth frowned, waved his hand in the direction of the Slytherin table, and shouted:

"Draco!"

Draco, who was eating breakfast, was startled by the sudden shout and almost knocked over the spoon in his hand. Draco looked up with anger on his face, and when he was about to lose his temper, he saw that the person who had called him was Wentworth.

Draco immediately put on a smiling face, ran over and said, "Senior Wentworth, what do you want from me?"

Cedric and Green on the side were looking at the scene in amazement. They didn't know when Wentworth had developed the new Hogwarts student into his own younger brother. Then the two looked at each other and saw a meaningful look in each other's eyes.

However, Wentworth did not notice the eye contact between his two friends, but asked directly:

"Draco, do you know where Cassandra from your house has gone?"

Hearing Wentworth's question, the smile on Draco's face immediately turned into a wry smile, and he answered:

"Senior Wentworth, you really asked the right person! After being caught by Professor Snape last night..."

At this point, Draco stopped talking and glanced at Green and Cedric beside Wentworth.

Seeing this, Wentworth said impatiently: "Keep talking, as if they don't exist!"

Green, Cedric: ...

Hearing Wentworth say this, Draco knew that the relationship between these two people and Wentworth must be unusual, so Draco continued: "Early this morning, Professor Snape called me to his office again. My God, Senior Wentworth, you haven't seen Professor Snape's office. It's so horrible, it's full of..."

Before Draco could finish his words, Wentworth interrupted him and said, "Just tell me the point! You don't need to tell me what Professor Snape's office looks like. I spent several months in his office last year!"

Then, Draco quickly returned to the topic and began to say: "This morning, when I was being scolded in Professor Snape's office, Senior Cassandra came in and said she wanted to ask for leave."

"Ask for leave?!"

Not only Wentworth, but even Green and Cedric showed surprised expressions, and the three of them spoke almost in unison.

Draco nodded and continued:

"Yes, asking for leave. Senior Cassandra said that it seemed that her father's previous injury had relapsed, so she wanted to take a leave and go back to see her father. Professor Snape agreed to Senior Cassandra's request for leave and gave her a few bottles of potions."

After hearing Draco's narration, Wentworth nodded thoughtfully, thinking that maybe Cassandra's father's previous injury had not yet healed, so Cassandra was worried and wanted to go back to see her father again.

But Cedric at the side spoke up, looking puzzled: "But how is Cassandra going to leave Hogwarts? Not to mention that she can't Apparate yet, and Apparate is forbidden in Hogwarts. And now, the Hogwarts Special Train won't leave just for her!"

Hearing Cedric's doubts, Draco immediately explained:

"I know, I know. Dean Snape said at the time that he could Apparate her and take her away, but Senior Cassandra refused. Senior Cassandra said that she had asked her father to temporarily open the Floo network of Hogwarts, and Senior Cassandra left through the Floo network."

Hearing Draco's answer, Cedric became even more confused and asked curiously:

"I heard from my father that the fireplace in Hogwarts is usually disconnected from the Floo network. This is to ensure the safety of Hogwarts. If you want to open the Floo network in Hogwarts, you need to go through very complicated procedures at the Ministry of Magic."

Draco looked at Cedric in surprise and said, "Don't you know, Senior? My father once said in a letter that Cassandra's father was originally the head of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, but he disappeared for a while. Now that he has returned to the Ministry of Magic, he has been transferred to the Ministry of Magic Floo Network Management Office as the head."

"So, what originally required a lot of troublesome procedures, was just a matter of a word for her father!"

After hearing this, Wentworth and Cedric suddenly realized what was going on. Then, Wentworth signaled to Draco that he could leave, but Draco did not leave. Instead, he continued to look at Wentworth with a smile.

Seeing Draco's look, Wentworth felt a little amused and said:

"Why, something wrong?"

Draco said with a smile on his face:

"Senior Wentworth, you were the referee in last night's duel, but you haven't said who won in the end! Otherwise, Harry and I should find time to have another duel."

Hearing Draco's words, Wentworth waved his hand unhappily and said:

"Come on, watching your duel is a complete waste of time. It's okay to watch it for fun once in a while! It's a draw! Okay, you can leave now!"

Just as Draco returned to the Slytherin table with a disappointed look on his face, Cassandra slowly walked into Diagon Alley.

But at this time, Cassandra had a layer of black veil on her face, so her appearance could not be seen. Cassandra was seen in Diagon Alley, seemingly looking for something.

But when Cassandra finally arrived at the door of a toy store, she stopped and looked at a thousand paper cranes displayed in the window. Then she pushed the door open without hesitation.
