When Cassandra watched a wooden door suddenly appear on the empty wall, her eyes were filled with shock.
Wentworth said:
"This is the Room of Requirement. All you have to do is concentrate here, silently recite the place you need, and then walk back and forth in the corridor three times, and it will appear."
Then, Wentworth pushed open the wooden door and walked into the Room of Requirement first. Cassandra hesitated for a moment, but followed him in.
The room was spacious, and there was even a standard dueling arena in the center of the Room of Requirement. Cassandra could not help but marvel at the magical scene and looked around.
Shortly after Wentworth and Cassandra entered the Room of Requirement, Dumbledore and Snape appeared in front of the Room of Requirement.
"Severus, how did you know that Cassandra would challenge Wentworth to a duel tonight?"
Dumbledore looked at the empty wall after the two disappeared and asked Snape.
Snape replied expressionlessly:
"After what happened to Cassandra, I was afraid that something might happen to her, so I specially asked the students to pay attention to her. As for her duel with Wentworth, it was an unexpected gain."
"Although Wentworth is still consciously hiding his strength in the duel between Hufflepuff and Slytherin, we can clearly see Cassandra's strength. We just need to wait here. Based on the result of their duel, we can roughly infer Wentworth's current level of spellcasting!"
After hearing Snape's explanation, Dumbledore nodded slowly.
Suddenly, the wooden door reappeared on the empty wall. Seeing this, Dumbledore said quickly:
"It looks like the duel is over much faster than we thought! They're about to come out!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the figures of Dumbledore and Snape slowly disappeared outside the Room of Requirement.
Soon, the wooden door was opened from the inside, and Cassandra walked out of the Room of Requirement with an angry look on her face. She walked out without looking back, with a hint of blush on her cheeks.
Afterwards, Wentworth followed Cassandra with an embarrassed look on his face, covering his eyes and chasing after her. While chasing, he kept calling Cassandra's name in a low voice, as if he wanted to explain something, but Cassandra never stopped and ignored him.
When Wentworth and Cassandra disappeared on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, Dumbledore and Snape reappeared.
"Who wins this?"
Snape asked with a troubled look on his face, while Dumbledore slowly shook his head and turned to walk towards his headmaster's office, saying, "Tell me about your investigation at the scene today, please."
Hearing Dumbledore's question, Snape hurriedly followed, and the two of them walked towards Dumbledore's headmaster's office together.
"According to my investigation, and in agreement with the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic, there are indeed a lot of traces of dark magic at the scene. However, I don't think it was done by the Death Eaters..."
As they talked, the two walked into the headmaster's office at Hogwarts.
When Wentworth returned to the Hufflepuff common room, it was almost time for everyone to go to bed, but Cedric and Green had not returned to their respective dormitories. Instead, they were waiting in the Hufflepuff common room.
Seeing Wentworth coming back, Cedric and Green hurried to greet him.
Cedric screamed when he saw the black eye in Wentworth's left eye.
Green chuckled on the side.
"Of course, he was punched by Cassandra!"
Green smiled strangely, moved closer to Wentworth, raised his nose and sniffed carefully.
"How do you know it was caused by a fist? Isn't it some strange magic?"
Cedric asked curiously.
Green replied confidently: "Don't worry, Cedric, I definitely won't be wrong, because my mom often beats my dad like this!"
"But I'm curious, Wentworth, what did you do to make Cassandra punch you so directly? You are so…"
However, before Green could finish, Wentworth waved his hand and said, "Yawn, I'm so sleepy, I'm going back to sleep!"
As he spoke, Wentworth pushed the two of them aside and walked towards his dormitory.
As for the remaining two, Cedric was confused, while Green had a weird smile on his face.
The next morning, when Wentworth and Cedric were sitting at the Hufflepuff table eating breakfast, all the Hufflepuffs already knew that Wentworth had done something to Cassandra last night, and was punched by Cassandra! "This Green, I will find a way to punish him sooner or later!"
Wentworth looked at Green, who was not far away and was describing in vivid detail to the Hufflepuff students how disheveled Wentworth looked when he returned last night, with a look of resentment on his face.
At this moment, a group of owls flew in. In an instant, the school auditorium was in chaos. Many items and letters were thrown casually by the owls on the long table in the Hogwarts Hall, splashing a lot of food and soup.
Among the many items sent by the families of Hogwarts students, there was also the latest issue of the Daily Prophet! However, due to his hatred for an unscrupulous reporter in the Daily Prophet in his previous life, Wentworth never read the Daily Prophet and did not subscribe to it.
But soon, in the Hogwarts school hall, many students holding the Daily Prophet in their hands burst into exclamations, which attracted the attention of many people.
I saw students gathering around, pointing at the Daily Prophet, and then their eyes involuntarily looked in the direction of Slytherin, and they were discussing something in a low voice.
Seeing this scene, Wentworth frowned involuntarily, but before Wentworth could take the initiative to investigate, he saw Green walking over with a serious face holding a copy of the Daily Prophet.
"Prefect, what happened?"
Seeing this, Wentworth couldn't help but ask.
Green, holding the Daily Prophet, sat down between Wentworth and Cedric, sighed deeply, and opened the cover of the newspaper.
On the front page of the Daily Prophet, there was a headline: The head of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic was attacked, and his life or death is unknown! After seeing this headline, Wentworth finally figured out what happened to Cassandra yesterday! After all, Cassandra had said more than once that her father was the head of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic! The weather is getting colder, and I would like to remind my friends in front of the screen to keep warm. Unfortunately, the author got the attack, with a cough, fever, runny nose, and general fatigue... I posted a photo of cephalexin on my Moments last night, and when I woke up today, I saw that as expected, many people reminded me not to forget to drink some wine, which really touched me...
