After Wentworth thanked Snape, he came to the pile of old books and carefully searched through them. Soon, Wentworth's eyes lit up, and he picked up an old textbook and walked to Snape:

"Professor Snape, I'll take this one."

Snape said without looking up:

"I hope you didn't damage this book. Remember to come find me after dinner!"

Wentworth quickly agreed and then trotted out of the Potions classroom.

When I went out, I found that the Slytherin freshmen had disappeared, while the Hufflepuff freshmen were still waiting outside the Potions classroom.

Seeing Wentworth coming out, they immediately stepped forward and asked a lot of questions. Wentworth had to evade the question and said, "Oh, nothing. I still have some questions about potions, so I took the initiative to stay and ask Professor Snape."

As soon as Wentworth finished speaking, the worried expressions of the Hufflepuff freshmen disappeared instantly, and were immediately replaced by expressions of admiration. Some even silently gave Wentworth a thumbs up and patted him on the shoulder.

"Wentworth, I respect you as a man!"

At this moment, Snape's voice sounded behind everyone: "If you don't want to leave, you can all come back in!"

The Hufflepuff first-years fled in panic.

Wentworth turned around, bowed to Professor Snape, then turned and left, following the other freshmen. While no one was paying attention, Wentworth opened the old textbook he had borrowed from the Potions classroom.

And on the title page of the textbook, there was a name written boldly - Half-Blood Prince!

After making sure that he had not taken the wrong thing, Wentworth showed a confident smile.

Suddenly, someone slapped Wentworth hard on the back, which scared Wentworth. Wentworth quickly put away the old textbooks and turned around to see that it was Cedric.

"Hey, how was Potions class? Professor Snape didn't give you any trouble, did he?"

Seeing that it was Cedric, Wentworth finally felt relieved, spread his hands and said, "How could it not be difficult for me? I deducted five points!"

Cedric waved his hand and said:

"That's nothing. I thought at least thirty points would be deducted. Five points? It's just basic operation. No one will blame you! By the way, what reason did Snape use to deduct points from you?"

Wentworth gave a bitter smile and said, "He said I was flirting with Cassandra in class... What a specter!"

Cedric looked at Wentworth with disdain. After a long while, a burst of extremely hearty laughter came out of Cedric's mouth.

Cedric laughed happier and happier, until he saw Wentworth's face darken. Cedric quickly stopped laughing and asked with all his strength:

"Honestly, are you and Cassandra really having something going on? On the Hogwarts Express, I felt like you two had a special relationship!"

Wentworth quickly denied:

"How is that possible! I like tall girls with big butts!"

As soon as Wentworth finished speaking, before Cedric could respond, a voice of shame and anger came from behind them:

"Wentworth, you are shameless!"

Then, Cassandra walked past the two men without looking back and disappeared in front of them.

Seeing Cassandra leave, Wentworth and Cedric looked at each other in bewilderment. After a long while, Wentworth said:

"In fact, she still has a lot of room for development. There is an old Eastern proverb: Girls change a lot when they grow up!"

Cedric said helplessly:

"Do you think she's angry about this?"

"Believe me, it definitely is!"

Afterwards, the two went to the auditorium for dinner.

When Wentworth and Cedric appeared in the hall and walked towards the Hufflepuff table, many people greeted Wentworth with friendly faces, which made Wentworth a little flattered.

After Wentworth sat down, people kept coming up to him and asking him if he was planning to continue holding a hot pot party. They left only after Wentworth repeatedly assured them that he would notify them in advance next time there was a hot pot party.

On the other side, Cassandra looked at Wentworth who was surrounded by the crowd and gritted her teeth secretly.

"Cassandra, you don't look very well, what happened?"

At this time, Slytherin's prefect, Weilin, came over and asked with concern.

After the new semester started, the prefect Weylin had come over to talk to Cassandra more than once. When the other Slytherin students saw this, they were very tactful and gave them space.

Hearing Welin's voice, Cassandra frowned subconsciously. Cassandra didn't have a good feeling about Welin because Welin's father worked under her father. So, Welin was always a little flattering when facing Cassandra.

Weilin did this, of course, to please Cassandra. Cassandra also knew why he did this. Girls mature earlier than boys, and in a family like Cassandra's, there are many people who flatter like this.

But Cassandra just didn't like it. You are a prefect, and a Slytherin prefect. Do you have any dignity as a prefect? ​​You said you would be proud of Slytherin! You are really embarrassing Slytherin! This is what Cassandra thinks of Waring.

Every time at this time, Cassandra would think of Wentworth's face that always had an elegant smile. He seemed to care about nothing, but at the same time seemed curious about everything in the magical world. He was obviously a wizard from a mixed-blood family, or even a Muggle family, but he was more like a pure-blood than many pure-bloods.

Don't ask Cassandra how she knew that Wentworth was not from a pure-blood family. Long before Cassandra came to report to Hogwarts, Cassandra's father had already given Cassandra a list of noteworthy freshmen.

But at this moment, hearing the voice of Slytherin prefect Weylin, Cassandra's eyes turned, and she retracted her frown, deliberately showing a calm expression, and said: "Senior Weylin, today, we Slytherins were looked down upon!"

After hearing Cassandra's words, Weylin immediately showed an angry expression and said viciously: "What?! Who dares to look down on us Slytherins!"

So Cassandra told Weilin what happened in front of the Potions classroom that afternoon, adding some exaggeration to the story.

To sum up, Hufflepuff's prefect Cork, with the senior students, blocked the way of the Slytherin freshmen, making the Hufflepuff freshmen walk ahead of the Slytherin freshmen.

Wentworth, who was waiting for the meal to start, was unaware of all this.
