"Professor Snape?"
When they saw the figure for the first time, Cedric and Green cried out in surprise.
At this time, Snape turned from the Mirror of Erised, looked at Wentworth and the others, and said, "Wentworth, you seem to be familiar with these trials. Can you tell me how you did it?"
Facing Snape's question, Wentworth just smiled calmly and answered:
"Cats have their own ways, mice have their own ways, and wizards have their own ways! Professor Snape, I promised you, and I have done it. Harry Potter is safe and sound on Halloween. So, what did you promise me?"
Facing Wentworth's answer, Snape turned around with an unchanged expression, looked at the Mirror of Erised, and said, "You are asking me to betray Dumbledore, Wentworth!"
Although he said so, Professor Snape still threw back his hand without looking back, and a stone was thrown directly at Wentworth.
Wentworth took the stone and examined it carefully.
This blood-red, irregular stone was extremely crystal clear. From time to time, a stream of light slid through the inside of the stone.
At this time, Wentworth heard Snape speak again: "Wentworth, take the things and leave quickly! Our deal is done! If you don't want me to deduct points from Hufflepuff!"
Hearing Snape's words, Wentworth shook his head, put away the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, and said, "Professor Snape, the Mirror of Erised shows us what we desire most in our hearts! However, it is not a prophecy, it is an illusion, so don't get addicted to it!"
Wentworth walked towards Snape as he spoke, and Snape snorted and said, "Wentworth, you don't have to tell me this! Also, five points deducted from Hufflepuff!"
After saying that, Snape turned and left.
Looking at Snape who turned and left, Wentworth shouted at Snape's back: "Professor Snape, if Dumbledore finds out that you betrayed him and wants to expel you from Hogwarts, we in the Wizarding Party welcome you to join us!"
Hearing Wentworth's shout, Snape couldn't help but pause, but then he left at a faster speed! Seeing Snape turn around and leave, Green and Cedric immediately came behind Wentworth. The two of them stood at the entrance before, watching the conversation between Wentworth and Snape, and they didn't dare to breathe.
Cedric came to Wentworth and immediately asked: "Wentworth, I didn't expect that Snape would make a deal with you without telling Headmaster Dumbledore!"
Hearing Cedric's words, Wentworth sneered and said:
"Hidden from Dumbledore? You underestimated Dumbledore! You also underestimated our Potions professor!"
After hearing Wentworth's answer, Cedric and Green looked at each other. Finally, it was Green who asked:
"Wentworth, are you saying that Dumbledore already knows about this?"
Wentworth nodded slowly and replied:
"Don't forget, this is Hogwarts. As the headmaster here and the greatest white wizard in history, how could he not know that we have caused such a big commotion around the target he has carefully protected!"
After saying this, Wentworth ignored the nervous Cedric and Green and focused his gaze on the Mirror of Erised behind him.
"Can you see what I desire most in my heart? I don't even know what I desire most in my heart!"
However, as soon as he stood still, Wentworth's face changed when he looked at the magic mirror. Wentworth even immediately drew out his wand and pointed it at the Mirror of Erised in front of him.
This sudden change startled Green and Cedric who were beside Wentworth. They looked at Wentworth quickly, only to see various emotions constantly changing on Wentworth's face.
At the same time, Snape hurried to the headmaster's office of Hogwarts, where Dumbledore was waiting for him.
As soon as they met, Snape spoke directly: "The Philosopher's Stone has been given to him, but there is still something I don't understand."
Facing Snape's doubts, Dumbledore said lightly: "Severus, what are you doubting about?"
Snape immediately replied:
"I don't understand why you gave the Philosopher's Stone to Wentworth? You clearly know that person is also looking for the Philosopher's Stone!"
Facing Snape's questioning, Dumbledore said calmly: "Yes, I know. I even know that Hogwarts is not safe at this time! That's why I want to send the Philosopher's Stone to a safe place!"
"Behind Wentworth is the entire witch party. Even when Tom was at his most powerful, he might not be able to snatch things from the witch party, let alone now! That's why I asked you to hand over the Philosopher's Stone to Wentworth."
Snape was silent for a moment, and seemed to be hesitant, but he finally spoke: "Principal Dumbledore, I know that you want to cause a war between the Wizarding Party and the Death Eaters, but are you really not afraid that the one who survives will become more powerful than before?"
Hearing Snape's blunt question, Dumbledore suddenly laughed and said, "Severus, I am not worried, because I know who will be the winner between them."
After Snape left, Dumbledore sat alone in his office, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long silence, Dumbledore whispered: "Gellert..."
Wentworth, who was standing in front of the Mirror of Erised, had a changing expression on his face and raised the wand in his hand several times, but finally put it away slowly.
Cedric was beside Wentworth, calling out anxiously:
"Wentworth, what's the matter with you? Say something!"
Wentworth took a long breath, shook his head slowly, and said:
“I’m fine, let’s go! Of course, if you want to take a look at the Mirror of Erised, you can…”
However, before Wentworth could finish his words, he saw Cedric and Green shaking their heads. If it were in the past, Green might have been eager to walk up and take a look.
But Wentworth's expression just now really scared Green and Cedric, so much so that neither of them had the desire to go up and take a look.
Seeing this, Wentworth smiled bitterly, turned around and walked out.
However, as soon as he turned around, the smile on Wentworth's face was taken away, because just now, Wentworth's biggest secret was revealed. Wentworth saw Su Xinghe in the mirror! (End of this chapter)
