Chapter 35 How Can I Bear to See You Get Hurt



At this moment, in Dumbledore's eyes, Wentworth, who was making the Witch Party more powerful, was standing trembling in the center of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, and standing opposite him was Cassandra.

After explaining the Disarming Spell, Professor Ilona asked the Hufflepuff and Slytherin freshmen to practice separately, but when the morning class was about to end, Ilona suddenly called everyone together.

"Everyone, I believe you all already know the effect and usage of the Disarming Spell. So, who is willing to come up and demonstrate it to everyone?"

As soon as Ilona finished speaking, Cassandra raised her hand as expected, and when Cassandra walked to the center of the classroom, she suddenly turned her eyes to Hufflepuff.

"Where are you going, Wentworth?"

At this moment, Wentworth saw Cassandra walk to the center of the classroom, and he thought to himself that something was wrong, and was about to hide quietly among the Hufflepuff crowd.

But obviously, Cassandra had no intention of giving him this opportunity and directly called out his name.

"I wonder, which Hufflepuff student would like to come up and spar with me?"

Although Cassandra used a question, her eyes were always on Wentworth.

Not only that, when Cassandra finished speaking, Wentworth, as the most famous Hufflepuff freshman, all the Hufflepuff freshmen also turned their eyes to Wentworth.

Seeing that there was no escape, Wentworth stopped trying to evade and walked straight to the opposite side of Cassandra with his wand in hand.

As Professor Ilona announced the start, both parties raised their wands at the same time.

"Expelliarmus!"

Then, a spell flew out from Cassandra's wand, but Wentworth seemed to have no reaction. He neither recited the spell nor waved his wand. Wentworth was hit directly by Cassandra's disarming spell.

Immediately, Wentworth's wand flew out.

Seeing Wentworth's wand being knocked away by her, Cassandra was about to curl up her lips, but Wentworth spoke first: "Did you see that, classmates? This is the effect of the Disarming Spell. Once you are hit by the Disarming Spell, the wands in your hands will fly out involuntarily like the one in mine. For most wizards, if they lose their wands, they will also lose their combat effectiveness."

Wentworth walked over and picked up his wand as Cassandra and the other freshmen stared in amazement. Then he smiled at Cassandra and said:

"Cassandra, you are a girl after all. Although the danger of the disarming spell is relatively low, it is still painful when the magic hits your body. As a boy, how can I let you suffer like this?"

"Since someone must be cursed, I would rather that person be me. I will not let a girl bear this danger. After all, I am from Hufflepuff!"

After Wentworth finished speaking, he stood there quietly. In the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, there was silence for a moment, and then thunderous applause broke out!

Cassandra looked at Wentworth with hatred as he stood there and calmly accepted the cheers from Hufflepuff. Originally, Cassandra wanted to take this opportunity to take revenge on Wentworth, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this in the end.

At this moment, Professor Ilona, ​​who had been watching from the side, clapped her hands softly and said, "Very exciting! You did better than I thought! Cassandra showed an unparalleled talent for spells, a perfect Disarming Spell. Ten points to Slytherin!"

"Wentworth showed the integrity and kindness that a Hufflepuff should have. He took the risk of getting hurt and took the Disarming Curse. He showed his grace and gentlemanliness. Hufflepuff, 20 points!"

Ilona looked at Wentworth standing in the middle of the field, with the Hufflepuffs cheering behind him, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Is he winning people's hearts? Maybe not, maybe Wentworth is really like his master, always treating his own people with sincerity, so that he can make so many outstanding wizards follow him loyally, and now Wentworth is performing better than his master back then! After all, when his master was in this grade, there were not so many wizards cheering for him.

After Ilona finished speaking, Hufflepuff cheered again, and Wentworth was stunned. Is this possible? Only Wentworth himself knew that although he could barely cast a disarming spell, it was really just a stretch! Not to mention whether he could match Cassandra, it was even a question whether he could hit her!

Rather than being humiliated by a girl, it is better to take the initiative to find a way out! This is what Wentworth thought when facing Cassandra.

But I didn't expect that no one would doubt me? The people in Hogwarts are simple and honest!

Then, Wentworth bowed to Cassandra very gentlemanly, turned around and bowed to Professor Ilona, ​​and then leisurely returned to the crowd amid the cheers of the first-year Hufflepuff students.

Seeing this, Ilona announced in a good mood: There is no homework in this class! This time, even the Slytherin students cheered and applauded.

After class, when Wentworth returned to the Hufflepuff common room surrounded by Hufflepuff first-years, as soon as he entered the door, there was a "pop" and several ribbons hit Wentworth's body.

Wentworth looked in surprise at the Hufflepuff common room, where Cedric, Cork and others were already waiting.

Seeing Wentworth coming in, everyone applauded for Wentworth! Cork hugged Wentworth, his face full of excitement, and he looked like he wanted to kiss Wentworth on the face.

"Wentworth! Thank you! Thank you on behalf of Hufflepuff! I'm unhappy with Slytherin and have been unhappy with him for five years! Do you know how I have been through these five years? We Hufflepuffs are always bullied by Slytherin. Once a conflict occurs, we are usually the ones who lose points!"

"I waited for five years and finally became a prefect. It's not to prove how great I am, but to tell others that I must take back what I lost with my own hands!"

"What have you lost?"

Wentworth looked at Cork, who looked resentful, and asked in surprise.

"I lost a lot, such as the points that were deducted, but the most important thing is my dignity!"
