While the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic were busy escorting the dark wizards lying on the ground back to the Ministry of Magic, Wentworth followed Dumbledore's footsteps and returned to Hogwarts.
On the way, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape said goodbye to Dumbledore and left one after another, while Wentworth followed Dumbledore back to the headmaster's office at Hogwarts.
"Disappointed, Wentworth?"
Suddenly, Dumbledore asked out of the blue.
Wentworth was stunned, then slowly shook his head and said:
"No, Headmaster Dumbledore. I have seen the cunning of the other party. I never thought that I could defeat them in one go! But as long as they keep their eyes on me, I will always have a chance to defeat them!"
There was one sentence that Wentworth kept in his heart but did not say:
Even wild geese leave their voices behind when they pass by, let alone a wizard?
Dumbledore seemed very satisfied with Wentworth's answer. He smiled and asked Wentworth to sit down, then said:
"Wentworth, have you ever thought that if you hadn't allowed the witch party and us to appear in Hogsmeade today, then you might have revealed all the secrets by now!"
Facing Dumbledore's question, Wentworth refused without a second thought:
"That's too dangerous. Even if it happens again, I won't make this choice."
After hearing Wentworth's answer, Dumbledore said with a smile: "In this respect, you are not at all like your grandfather!"
After hearing Dumbledore's answer, Wentworth asked curiously, "Headmaster, from your tone, you sound very familiar with my grandfather. What kind of person is he?"
Dumbledore looked at Wentworth deeply, then responded:
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back and rest!"
"By the way, although I didn't take action today, you still have to do what you promised me!"
Hearing Dumbledore's words, Wentworth immediately said with a wry smile:
"Principal, this isn't fair!"
Dumbledore said with a playful look:
"I have already guaranteed your safety today. The other party did not show up. That is his business. Do you think I am right? Wentworth!"
Hearing Dumbledore's answer, Wentworth had to smile bitterly and nodded. When Wentworth came out of Dumbledore's headmaster's office, he immediately put away the bitter smile on his face, and then walked towards the Hufflepuff common room thoughtfully.
But to Wentworth's surprise, Cassandra actually appeared at the door of the Hufflepuff common room, apparently having been waiting there for a long time.
Cassandra saw Wentworth coming and immediately went to meet him. At the same time, she recalled what happened half an hour ago.
At that time, Cassandra, who was resting in her dormitory, suddenly felt a warmth in her arms, and quickly took out her Star Card King of Hearts from her arms.
I saw Draco's message on the back of the card.
J of Clubs: News came from the Ministry of Magic that a group of mysterious wizards raided Hogsmeade village today. Now all the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic have gathered in Hogsmeade village. Do you know what happened?
Seeing this, Cassandra's heart moved. Thinking of what Wentworth had told her, she couldn't help but start to worry about Wentworth.
But as Cassandra expected, Wentworth was not in his dormitory.
Seeing this, Cassandra had no choice but to wait outside the Hufflepuff common room and pray silently for Wentworth.
But fortunately, just when Cassandra was about to secretly go to Hogsmeade Village, Wentworth finally came back.
"Cassandra, why are you here?"
Wentworth asked curiously as he saw Cassandra walking towards him.
Cassandra first looked at Wentworth, then heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "Are you okay?"
Hearing Cassandra's concern, Wentworth was stunned, then smiled gently and said:
"What's wrong with you Cassandra? What can happen to me?"
Cassandra gritted her teeth and said, "What happened in Hogwarts Village? Was it the witch party that did it?!"
Hearing Cassandra's question, Wentworth was really stunned this time, and said in disbelief:
"Did the news spread so quickly? How did you know?"
Cassandra did not answer Wentworth's question, but just looked into his eyes quietly. Seeing this, Wentworth could only smile awkwardly and replied, "Well, it was indeed the Witch Party who did it. The reason is very simple. Someone in Hogsmeade wanted to harm me. I originally wanted to use myself as bait to lure them out, but unfortunately, they didn't fall for it. So, I had to let the Witch Party take action and screen everyone in Hogsmeade!"
Hearing Wentworth's answer, Cassandra couldn't help but frowned and complained:
"Are you a fool? You're using yourself as bait. What if something goes wrong? Can't you just find someone to pretend to be you using Polyjuice Potion? Is there any need to go there in person?"
Hearing Cassandra's words, Wentworth was stunned, and then he roared in his heart: Damn, yes, why didn't I think of it? ! This is a magical world! There are many ways to make others look like you!
Although Wentworth was very upset, he still said righteously:
"The other party is coming for me. How can I let others take this risk for me?"
Although Wentworth spoke righteously, Cassandra, after sizing him up, suddenly said, "You didn't expect it, did you?"
Wentworth: "...How is that possible! I just think this is a good opportunity to catch them! If someone else pretends to be me, once they find out, they might run away!"
Hearing what Wentworth said, Cassandra curled her lips and asked:
"Did they show up?"
Wentworth: "...No..."
Cassandra rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, I know what happened. I'll urge my father to see if any fireplaces in Hogsmeade have been illegally connected to the Floo Network in the recent period, or if any noteworthy people have used the Floo Network to enter Hogsmeade."
Having said that, without waiting for Wentworth to express his gratitude, Cassandra turned around and was about to leave. However, after walking a few steps, Cassandra turned back and said to Wentworth: "In the future, if you encounter such a situation again, you can come and ask me first."
After saying this, Cassandra left without waiting for Wentworth to respond.
