Chapter 39 Hufflepuff Conditions



While Wentworth was whispering beside Coke, Dumbledore, McGonagall and others were taking the parchment handed over by Professor Sprout and reading it carefully.

After reading the contents of the parchment, Professor McGonagall was the first to speak angrily: "This is nonsense! Who allowed them to do this! I will send them back now!"

But Dumbledore called out to Professor McGonagall, who was about to turn around. After a moment of silence, Dumbledore asked:

"What about Professor Snape?"

"I am here!"

At this time, Snape walked out slowly from behind the few people.

"Professor Snape, did you instruct the Slytherin students to do this?"

Professor McGonagall said angrily when she saw Snape's look.

But Snape stared into Dumbledore's eyes and said meaningfully:

"Dumbledore, this is a great opportunity, isn't it?"

After hearing what Snape said, Dumbledore did not object, but fell into deep thought again.

What good opportunity? Only Dumbledore and Snape understood that this was a good opportunity to find out Wentworth's spell level!

As early as yesterday, when Wentworth demonstrated his unique way of handling potions that Snape mistakenly believed to be Wentworth's own, Snape reminded Dumbledore that it was obvious that the Wizarding Party had already started training Wentworth before Wentworth entered Hogwarts!

Since the witch party had trained Wentworth on how to handle potions, there was no reason why they wouldn't train him on spells! After all, Wentworth was under Dumbledore's watch, so how could he not have some ability to protect himself?

This opportunity was undoubtedly a good opportunity to find out Wentworth's spell level! Dumbledore understood what Snape meant, Professor McGonagall seemed to understand, and Professor Sprout, although he didn't understand, was very smart not to ask, but Professor Sprout's eyes were full of worry.

Finally, Dumbledore said: "Let's ask the students themselves first!"

Then, Dumbledore took the parchment, slowly walked between Slytherin and Hufflepuff, and asked:

"What do Hufflepuff students think of this parchment sent by Slytherin?"

Green looked at Wentworth for the last time, and Wentworth nodded to Green. This scene was also seen by Dumbledore, Snape and others. Everyone understood that what Green said later was most likely instructed by Wentworth.

"Principal Dumbledore, we Hufflepuffs are willing to accept it. Although we are the friendliest house, since the Slytherin students have asked for advice, then we will not be stingy and will naturally teach them what magic is!"

Green spoke confidently.

But Weilin on the other side was not happy when he heard what Green said, and said with disdain:

"Teach us? What useless things can you teach us!"

"I won't let you say that about yourself!"

Green responded with a straight face.

Weilin: ??? After hearing this, Dumbledore laughed, as if he was lost in some memories, and said to Professor Flitwick, the head of Ravenclaw, who was not far away: "Filius, guess what this parchment reminds me of?"

"Principal Dumbledore, if I'm not mistaken, it's the Dueling Club!"

Dumbledore nodded and continued, "Yes, it is the Dueling Club! The Dueling Club at Hogwarts has been suspended for a long time. It might be a good idea to start it once in a while! However, it must be done under the supervision of a teacher, boys."

"Since Slytherin has requested a duel and Hufflepuff has agreed, I declare that the duel invitation is officially established! Tonight, Hogwarts will restart the dueling club!"

Following Dumbledore's voice, the young wizards cheered for a while, not only Slytherin and Hufflepuff, but also Gryffindor and Ravenclaw nearby! Dueling Club, as soon as you hear the name, you know that this is an activity that Gryffindor students love very much. As for Ravenclaw? Don't you know that our headmaster of Ravenclaw was the champion of the dueling competition when he was young?

Dumbledore looked at the cheering students in front of him and said kindly:

"It's great to be young! However, we also have to set rules. As for the referee, for the sake of fairness, I suggest that the head of Gryffindor, Professor McGonagall, the head of Ravenclaw, Professor Flitwick, and our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Professor Ilona, ​​serve as referees together!"

Faced with Dumbledore's request, the three professors naturally agreed immediately.

"Okay, do you have anything else to say?"

Originally, this was just a symbolic question from Dumbledore, but Green stood up and said, "Of course, since it was Slytherin who asked for the duel, we Hufflepuffs should also make a few suggestions!"

Dumbledore glanced at Wentworth behind Green and said, "Of course, this is your right!"

So, Green spoke without hesitation: "First, we Hufflepuffs hope that the professors can check whether any of the duelists on both sides have taken the Felix Potion or Polyjuice Potion before the duel begins!"

When Green said this, Snape's face instantly turned ugly, and Welin blushed and said: "Green! Are you questioning the fairness of our Slytherin?"

But Green said calmly: "I am just maintaining fairness!"

Dumbledore nodded and said, "I think Mr. Green's proposal is acceptable!"

Then Dumbledore looked at Weylin, who said angrily:

"No problem, we Slytherins agreed!"

Green then continued:

"Secondly, we Hufflepuffs hope that both parties in the duel will decide on the duel list in advance and hand it over to Professor Ilona before the duel begins. The list cannot be changed!"

This time, before Dumbledore could speak, Welin spoke first: "No problem, we agree too! It will start from our fifth grade!"

Seeing this, Green seemed to be relieved and continued, "Third, Welin, as the fifth-year prefects of Slytherin and Hufflepuff, it is both an honor and a responsibility. Shouldn't we shoulder this responsibility? I propose that if the house loses the duel, that person will voluntarily resign from his or her position as prefect. Do you dare?"

After hearing Green's proposal, Weilin was stunned for a moment. After careful consideration, he found that he could not find any reason why Slytherin would lose, so he smiled coldly:

"Green, it seems that you don't plan to be the prefect anymore. Since you want to resign from the prefect position, I will help you! I promise!"
