After hearing what Gellert said, Dumbledore also frowned.

"You mean to say that the death of Wentworth's parents was caused by a wizard?"

Gellert sneered and said:

"Need I say more? They are a bunch of cowards who dare not come to me, but I attacked them. The Grindelwald family will remember this grudge!"

Hearing Gellert's words, Dumbledore couldn't help but ask nervously:

"Gellert, what do you want to do?"

Gellert glanced at Dumbledore and said coldly, "Don't worry, Albus, I will not leave Nurmengard. I just hope that you can tell Wentworth about this when the time is right. The revenge of the Grindelwald family should naturally be avenged by the children of the Grindelwald family!"

Hearing Gellert's assurance, Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Don't worry, Gellert. I will tell him when the time is right. Moreover, Hogwarts and I will stand behind him, no matter who his opponent is."

After hearing what Dumbledore said, Gellert did not express gratitude. Instead, he showed a vigilant look and asked Dumbledore:

"Albus, why do I feel like you are planning something? I initially thought that you let Wentworth enter Hogwarts as a form of alternative supervision, but when I thought about the fact that the wizarding world is not peaceful either, and it would be safer for him to stay with you, I acquiesced. But now it seems that your purpose is not just that!"

"Not only did you tacitly allow my followers to enter Hogwarts, but you also clearly stated your support for Wentworth, no matter who his opponent is. Are you going to stand on the side of my Witch Party again? After all these years, have you finally realized that I was right?"

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore smiled slightly and told him everything he had talked about with Snape that night.

After hearing what Dumbledore said, Gellert said unhappily:

"So that's how it is, Dumbledore. After all these years, you haven't changed at all. You always like to use others to achieve your own goals! But I hope you understand that any gift from fate has a price secretly marked on it!"

Dumbledore nodded and said earnestly:

"Gellert, we are all old. The future of the wizarding world lies in the wands of young people. As for the price marked by the goddess of fate, I have already prepared the chips. I just hope that you can promise me one thing."

Hearing this, Gellert looked at his old friend opposite him, felt something vaguely, and did not speak.

Although Gellert did not respond, Dumbledore kept looking into Gellert's eyes. After a long silence, Gellert said coldly:

"Speak!"

Dumbledore chuckled and said, "Gellert, if anything happens to me, our agreement will be void! I hope that if that day comes, you can step forward and help the young people get there. After all, it will take time for them to grow."

After Dumbledore finished speaking, the only sound in Nurmengard was the whistling of the cold wind, and the two men never spoke again.

The next morning, Wentworth, who had a good sleep, walked out of the dormitory and went to the school auditorium to have breakfast with Cedric who had been waiting there.

Afterwards, Wentworth said goodbye to Cedric, Cork and others, and prepared to go to the classroom with the other Hufflepuff freshmen. This morning's class was the Defense Against the Dark Arts class with Slytherin students.

But as soon as Wentworth and others walked out of the hall, they were surrounded by a group of Slytherin students in dark green robes, led by Slytherin's head of grade, Weylin.

"Senior Weilin, what are you doing?"

But in response to Wentworth's question, Weilin just looked at him contemptuously and said nothing, leaving Wentworth looking puzzled.

"Senior Weilin, if you have something to say, please speak up. If you don't have anything to say, please forgive us. We still have to go to class."

Seeing this, Wentworth had no choice but to speak again.

This time, Weilin said coldly: "Wait!"

This time, Wentworth was completely certain that the other party was here to cause trouble.

Although Wentworth looked like an 11-year-old student, his soul was that of an adult. How could he endure such humiliation? He could not help but say coldly: "If I say I won't wait then?"

Weilin on the opposite side sneered and took out his wand.

At this moment, Cedric, who had just come out of the hall, flashed out from behind Wentworth, stood in front of Wentworth, and also took out his wand.

"Senior Weilin, what do you want to do?"

Weilin curled his lips in disdain and said, "How dare a second-year student stand up for others? I thought only those reckless people in Gryffindor would do such a stupid thing."

"You don't think highly of our sophomores, so how about we fifth-year students come and compete with each other? Weilin!"

At this time, Cork's voice was heard, and then Cork brought a group of Hufflepuff students and surrounded Wentworth and Cedric.

Seeing this, the Slytherin students behind Weilin also rushed forward.

The originally spacious corridor outside the hall was instantly surrounded by Slytherins and Hufflepuffs, while Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students gathered in the distance, looking over here with curiosity.

Seeing that the situation seemed to be getting worse and worse, Weilin was obviously a little guilty and couldn't help but speak first: "Cork, yesterday you led people to block the way of our Slytherin freshmen. Today, we are standing in front of your freshmen. Isn't this too much?"

As soon as Welin spoke, Cassandra, who was hiding behind the door of the hall and eavesdropping , couldn't help but cover her face! What he said was really embarrassing for Slytherin even though nothing had happened yet! So, Cassandra waved to the Slytherin freshmen to follow, and she walked out of the hall alone.

Outside the hall, Wentworth couldn't help but feel funny when he saw Cassandra coming out. He could only say, she is worthy of being a Slytherin, she never suffers any loss.

Seeing Cassandra walking out of the hall with her head held high, without even looking around, and about to leave with her head held high, Wentworth did not intend to end it like that. If he let Cassandra leave like this, wouldn't it seem that Slytherin was superior to Hufflepuff?

"Senior Cork, if we really fight, can you beat Weilin?"

Wentworth asked quietly from behind Cork.

Cork: “Can’t beat it!”

Wentworth: “…”
