Chapter 341 I chose Hufflepuff



"Don't be anxious, let me tell you slowly!"

"After something like that happened, the International Confederation of Wizards naturally couldn't sit idly by and decided to send people to Uagadou to investigate, but there were disagreements when it came to selecting the people to be sent."

"Someone suggested that the local Ministry of Magic send someone to investigate, but this was opposed by many people!"

Hearing this, Wentworth said indifferently:

"These people are so idle. I think it would be a good idea to ask the local Ministry of Magic to send someone to investigate. They should know more about the situation than us anyway!"

After hearing what Wentworth said, Dumbledore said slowly: "I am one of those who oppose it!"

Wentworth: "...You keep talking, and I'll shut up."

Dumbledore didn't care and continued, "As for the reason, it's very simple. Politics should not be allowed on campus. This is the consensus of all magic schools around the world."

After hearing Dumbledore's explanation, Wentworth nodded in understanding. Dumbledore continued:

"Afterwards, someone proposed that each school should send professors to Vagadu to investigate, but Leila Lopez firmly rejected this proposal! This is because it would greatly affect Vagadu's reputation in the world and give people the impression that Vagadu is inferior to other magic schools."

"In short, after several days of discussion, all parties finally reached a consensus to divide the investigation into two parts. In the first part, representatives of the International Confederation of Wizards will investigate whether Ugadu condones students' use of magic and ignores the International Statute of Secrecy."

"In the second part, we will select an underage wizard as a representative to investigate from the perspective of an underage wizard whether the Animagus course of Vagadu will pose a threat to the underage wizards around him."

After hearing what Dumbledore said, Wentworth suddenly realized:

"I understand, Headmaster. So, you are the representative of the International Confederation of Wizards, and I am the representative of underage wizards?"

Dumbledore nodded slowly.

Seeing this, Wentworth couldn't help but give Dumbledore a thumbs up and said:

"Principal Dumbledore, you are amazing! As the representative of the International Confederation of Wizards, no one can question that. But you actually let the students of Hogwarts serve as representatives of underage wizards. Isn't Leila Lopez afraid that you will act arbitrarily and deliberately suppress Vagado to improve the reputation of Hogwarts?"

Hearing what Wentworth said, Dumbledore burst into laughter, and then he said, "In fact, at the beginning, Leila Lopez did have doubts about choosing Hogwarts students as representatives of underage wizards. It was not until I assured her that the students sent by Hogwarts would definitely be selected from Hufflepuff House that Leila Lopez agreed."

After hearing Dumbledore's explanation, Wentworth was confused and said, "What kind of statement is that?"

Dumbledore blinked at Wentworth and said slowly:

"You have someone to thank for this!"

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Wentworth couldn't help but blurt out, "Who?"

"Newt Scamander!"

In the evening, at the dinner that Vagado prepared for Dumbledore and Wentworth, Leila Lopez personally placed a sausage made of unknown ingredients on Wentworth's plate. Leila Lopez said, "Yes, the reason I agreed to let you come to Vagado is because you are from Hufflepuff, the same house as Newt."

Wentworth quickly expressed his gratitude and asked with a puzzled look on his face:

Leila Lopez nodded, then explained bluntly:

"When things can no longer be changed, since underage wizards must be used as special independent investigators, then I naturally have to choose a relatively better option. I did not choose you. To be exact, I chose Hufflepuff."

"I have known Newt for many years. Over the years, he has come to Africa from time to time. He has many friends here, although most of his friends are strange creatures."

Hearing this, Wentworth couldn't help but say, "There are no strange creatures, only narrow-minded people."

Leila Lopez was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"That's right, it's exactly what he said!"

"I once asked him if all students at Hogwarts had the same character as him. Newt shook his head, and then he told me that at least the students at Hufflepuff were like this. Kind, honest, brave, and sincere."

Looking at Leila Lopez who was eating the sausage on the plate leisurely, Wentworth couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:

"Principal Leila Lopez, your words are really stressful for me!"

Hearing Wentworth's words, Leila Lopez said indifferently:

"Don't feel pressured, because I always believe that we in Uagadou have done nothing wrong!"

Then, Leila Lopez changed the subject and asked:

"After all the journey today, what do you think of us, Uagadou, or our students?"

Hearing Leila Lopez's question, Wentworth recalled what he had seen along the way, and then said very sincerely: "What impressed me most about Vagado was the students' mastery of spells. It was so solid that almost everyone could cast spells without a wand. Although they were all basic spells, I was still surprised."

Hearing Wentworth's words, Leila Lopez, who was putting something into her mouth, couldn't help but be stunned, then she smiled bitterly.

Just when Wentworth was feeling somewhat puzzled, Babajide Akinbade, who had been sitting beside him, laughed and began to explain:

"Wentworth, I think you may have misunderstood something! You know, this is Africa, and the magic wand was invented by Europeans. It was not until the last century that the magic wand was introduced to Africa."

"Moreover, unlike Europe and America where wizards are divided by country, African wizards are mostly gathered in tribes and divided by tribe. There is not much communication between tribes, so the spread of magic wands is not fast."

"As a result, to this day, wizards in many magical tribes in Africa are still accustomed to casting spells without wands! Casting spells without wands is not because of their abilities, but because they are not used to wands at all."

At the same time, Leila Lopez also added:

"Not only that, but more importantly, most excellent wand-making masters are located in Europe and America, and the price of an excellent wand is unaffordable for many African wizards."

"Although there are wizards in Africa who can make magic wands, these cheap wands sometimes not only fail to help wizards, but may also cause unnecessary trouble."
