After hearing what Professor McGonagall said, Snape's anger eased a little. He turned around and looked around, then said, "Hufflepuff, you held a party in the common room without permission, causing misunderstandings from other houses. Hufflepuff, deduct 20 points!"

After saying this, Snape turned his attention to Wentworth. After all, everyone could see that Wentworth was the culprit of this incident.

Seeing Snape set his sights on Wentworth, Professor Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff House, stood up and said, "Professor Snape, I think Wentworth..."

But before Professor Sprout could finish his words, he was interrupted by Snape.

"Mr. Wentworth, you seem to be very good at using a crucible. That's great. It shows that you are very talented! I have decided that in the next month, from Monday to Friday, after dinner, you must come to me and I will teach you how to make potions using a crucible!"

"This is not a punishment, this is a reward!"

After saying this, without waiting for anyone else to react, Snape turned around and left the Hufflepuff common room quickly.

Professor Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff House, was unable to plead for Wentworth after hearing what Snape said.

Seeing Snape leave, except for Wentworth, the other Hufflepuff students breathed a sigh of relief. As for the points deduction? It doesn't matter! Anyway, Hufflepuff hasn't won the house cup for a long time. The so-called house cup is just a bigger bowl in the eyes of Hufflepuff students!

Only Wentworth sighed in his heart, as expected of a person who could work undercover beside the second generation Dark Lord, he really had the ability to confuse right and wrong! It was clearly a punishment, but Snape insisted on saying it was a reward, so that Professor Sprout couldn't even plead for him.

At this moment, seeing Snape leaving and the other professors were about to leave, Dumbledore walked in.

Unlike Snape, all Hufflepuff students are respectful to Dumbledore.

"This thing is called hot pot? It does smell delicious!"

Dumbledore said with a smile, pointing to the cauldron in front of the students.

Hearing Dumbledore's words, the Hufflepuff students immediately smiled. Even a Hufflepuff female prefect immediately took out a clean small bowl, filled it with meat, added seasonings, and handed it to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore didn't hesitate and started tasting it immediately.

"It's really good. I didn't expect that such a simple cooking method could make such delicious food."

The students around Dumbledore replied:

"Principal, it's mainly because Wentworth's seasoning is so good!"

Dumbledore nodded slowly. After he finished a whole bowl, he refused the student's request for more food and waved his hand, saying:

"I'm getting older and my appetite has decreased, haha! But today's Hufflepuff really surprised me!"

"I have completely understood what happened. When faced with possible unknown dangers, you did not run away. Instead, you faced it together and entered the lounge together, which you thought might be dangerous at the time. This requires great courage. Hufflepuff, ten points!"

When the cheers of Hufflepuff gradually faded, Dumbledore continued, "When faced with possible punishment, you did not deliberately shirk your responsibilities. Instead, you took the initiative to step forward and rushed to take on this responsibility. This is a rare quality that many adult wizards cannot do. Hufflepuff, another ten points!"

After Dumbledore finished speaking, an even louder cheer rang out. This time, not only Professor Sprout, but also the other professors could not help but applaud.

Seeing that Dumbledore seemed not to have finished speaking, the cheers soon stopped, and the Hufflepuff students looked at Dumbledore with surprise on their faces.

But Dumbledore walked to Wentworth's side, and fixed his eyes on Wentworth, staring into his eyes.

This was the first time that Wentworth faced Dumbledore, the most powerful wizard in the wizarding world. Wentworth suppressed his excitement and looked at Dumbledore with admiration... and activated the brain occlusion technique by the way.

After a moment, Dumbledore said with a smile:

"Wentworth, thank you very much for giving an old man such a delicious meal and for making an outstanding contribution to the diversity of the Hogwarts menu. So, Hufflepuff, add another five points!"

Dumbledore's words brought the atmosphere in the Hufflepuff Common Room to a climax, and many Hufflepuff students even hugged each other excitedly.

There is a reason why everyone is so excited. Today is the first day of school and it is also the weekend. All students are not in class, so none of the four colleges have extra points.

Just now, Snape deducted 20 points from Hufflepuff, making Hufflepuff's score the last, but with Dumbledore adding 25 points to Hufflepuff, Hufflepuff became the first among the four houses! Cork said with tears in his eyes: "It's been five years, five years. After I became the prefect, our Hufflepuff finally led the other three houses for the first time! Even if it's only for one day, I am very proud!"

Cork's words made Wentworth look up to him. In Wentworth's heart, Cork had become a strong candidate for the future British Minister of Magic!

Perhaps sensing Wentworth's gaze, Cork also turned his gaze towards Wentworth. Then, Cork hugged Wentworth and said, "Wentworth, you are simply the lucky star of our Hufflepuff!"

As he spoke, Cork winked at Cedric, and the two of them lifted Wentworth up and threw him into the air. Then, more and more Hufflepuff students joined in, and Wentworth's exclamations echoed throughout the Hufflepuff common room.

Seeing this scene, Ilona finally couldn't help but smiled proudly.

This is the future leader of our wizard party. How long does it take to conquer a Hogwarts school? Wentworth's answer is, a meal's worth of time! Suddenly, Ilona thought that perhaps joining Hufflepuff was also part of Wentworth's plan.

Although Hufflepuff students do not have prominent family backgrounds like Slytherin students, nor do they have excellent academic performance like Ravenclaw students, Hufflepuff is the largest house in Hogwarts.

The wizards who come out of Hufflepuff will infiltrate every corner of the wizarding world and become the cornerstone of the future wizarding world.

Thinking of this, Ilona looked at Wentworth with admiration in her eyes.
