Even Cassandra's broom had a long crack. Although Madam Hooch said that it could be repaired with a repair spell, the performance of the broom would always be affected after the repair.

Looking at Cassandra's broom placed aside, Wentworth couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, wondering what the quarrel between him and the female driver was! Wentworth made up his mind that after Cassandra came back, he would tell her that when the holidays came, he would go to Diagon Alley and buy a new flying broom for Cassandra as compensation.

However, Cassandra did not return to the classroom until the end of the flying class, which not only caused all the freshmen to talk about it, but also made Wentworth feel even more uneasy.

Even in the evening, when Wentworth, Cedric and others came to the Hogwarts Great Hall to have dinner, Wentworth noticed that Cassandra was not at the Slytherin table either.

This time, Wentworth was finally sure that something must have happened.

After dinner, Wentworth came to Snape's office as usual. After all, Snape said that he would give him "special tutoring" every night for the next month! After knocking on the door and entering, Snape was already waiting in the office. When he saw Wentworth coming in, Snape immediately said, "Today, I will teach you how to make a stimulant. The preparation of the stimulant requires..."

Wentworth couldn't help feeling a little surprised when he saw that Snape didn't make any sarcastic remarks when he entered the room. He felt that this was not Snape's style.

But compared to this, Wentworth had something more important to ask.

"Professor Snape, I want to ask, do you know what happened to Cassandra? She was called away by Headmaster Dumbledore from the flying class this afternoon and has not returned until now. I am a little worried about her!"

Wentworth suddenly interrupted Snape's lecture, which made Snape respond somewhat unhappily: "I wonder if anyone has ever told you that when others are speaking, you'd better listen quietly. Even if you want to speak, you have to wait until others have finished speaking!"

"And, I'm curious, why are you so worried about Cassandra?"

At this point, Snape's expression even changed.

Fearing that Snape might misunderstand him, Wentworth quickly said, "Of course, Professor. Don't forget, I am a Hufflepuff! Although there are some misunderstandings between Cassandra and I, they are internal conflicts. If she really encounters any trouble, I am happy to help!"

Snape looked at Wentworth with a sarcastic smile, and asked with some disdain: "Besides being a little clever, what else can you do? How can you help?!"

Wentworth thought carefully and seriously, then answered:

"I have money! Lots of money!"

As if choked by Wentworth's answer, Snape did not speak for a long time. After a long while, Snape waved his hand and said:

"Your task is to study hard. The professor will take care of the rest! Now, put away your curiosity and overflowing sympathy, and let's continue the class!"

Seeing this, Wentworth stopped asking questions and was sure of one thing: what happened to Cassandra must not be a small matter! Anything that can't be solved with money is a big deal!

After finishing the training with Snape tonight, Wentworth returned to the Hufflepuff common room.

Along the way, Wentworth always felt that Snape was a little strange tonight. He didn't treat him as a laborer anymore, but was really teaching him knowledge about potions. Although he didn't know the reason for this change, it was always a good thing to learn some knowledge that was not in the textbooks.

Wentworth returned to the Hufflepuff common room. Originally, he wanted to wait until everyone went back to the dormitory to sleep, and then sneak into the Room of Requirement to practice spells.

However, not long after Wentworth returned, a Hufflepuff student ran in, ran straight to Wentworth and said:

"Wentworth, Cassandra from Slytherin is waiting for you outside our common room. She wants you to go out and meet her!"

After hearing what this Hufflepuff said, the Hufflepuffs around him all let out a strange cry, making Wentworth feel embarrassed.

But the Hufflepuff who brought the message continued:

"Wentworth, be careful! I think Cassandra's condition is not quite right. It seems that even her eyes are red with anger!"

Hufflepuffs: ...

Wentworth: ??? When Wentworth walked out of the Hufflepuff common room, he thought that Cassandra was furious because he broke her flying broom during the flying lesson this afternoon.

So, when Wentworth just walked out of the door and saw Cassandra standing with her back to him not far away, he quickly said, "Cassandra, I'm really sorry about what happened this afternoon. I broke your broom, but I will buy you a new one later..."

As he spoke, Wentworth's voice gradually became quieter.

Because Cassandra had turned around at this time, which allowed Wentworth to see clearly that Cassandra's eyes were indeed red, but it was obviously red from crying, not red from anger as the Hufflepuff had just said! "Cassandra, are you okay? How about we duel another day?"

Seeing this, Wentworth couldn't help but ask tentatively.

But Cassandra shook her head firmly and said, "No, today!"

Having said that, Cassandra turned and walked out.

Seeing this, Wentworth had no choice but to follow quickly.

"Cassandra, if you have any difficulties or troubles, you can tell me, maybe I can help you!"

"We have an old housekeeper in our family. He is over a hundred years old. Do you know why he can live so long?"

"Because your family has special health-preserving techniques?"

"Because he never meddles in other people's business!"

Wentworth: ...

When Cassandra and Wentworth reached the first floor of Hogwarts, Cassandra suddenly stopped. Seeing this, Wentworth showed a questioning expression.

Cassandra asked awkwardly, "Where do you think it would be appropriate for us to duel?"

Wentworth: ...
