Chapter 65 Seeker



Wentworth was already beaming with joy as he looked at Cedric who was in shock.

Wentworth certainly doesn't know how to tell fortunes with tea leaves, but he knows the plot! In the original novel, Cedric's real girlfriend, the girl named Zhang Qiu, is a Hogwarts student of the same class as Wentworth, and is sitting at the long table of Ravenclaw at this time.

When Wentworth saw Cedric's gaze and unconsciously glanced towards the Ravenclaw freshman area, he knew in his heart that the handsome Badger House boy in front of him was definitely in love.

"Don't listen to Wentworth's nonsense. He must have heard something from someone else. By the way, Cedric, what's that in your hand?"

Hearing Green's question, Cedric seemed to have just remembered something. He quickly took out the envelope in his hand and handed it to Wentworth.

"Wentworth, this is what our headmaster, Professor Sprout, asked me to give you. It says that Headmaster Dumbledore wrote you a letter of recommendation, recommending you to join our Hufflepuff Quidditch team. The headmaster asked me to ask for your opinion."

Hearing Cedric say this, Wentworth remembered that Dumbledore seemed to have said that he intended to recommend him to join the Hufflepuff Quidditch team as a seeker. Unexpectedly, he received Dumbledore's letter of recommendation today.

However, before Wentworth could speak, a sinister and mocking voice sounded behind the people behind him.

"Why, can't you Hufflepuffs find anyone? You actually let a first-year join your Quidditch team. But you did the right thing. You were fourth last year anyway, so anyone can join!"

The three looked back and saw a burly young man wearing Slytherin robes standing behind them.

"His name is Marcus, Marcus Flint, a chaser on the Slytherin Quidditch team. It is said that he has a good chance of becoming the next captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team. Oh, by the way, he and Welin are good friends."

Cedric said as he came closer to Wentworth.

Marcus came up to Wentworth, looked him up and down, then smiled disdainfully and said, "Green, can't you Hufflepuffs find someone with better physical fitness? Look at this little guy, I feel that if he really gets on the court, he will probably pee his pants because of the Bludger!"

Green also took a step forward without any hesitation, separating Marcus from Wentworth, and said unhappily: "First, when you see me, you have to call me Senior Green, or you can call me Prefect Green! If you don't know manners, I can teach you! Second, stay away from our Hufflepuff Seeker!"

Marcus was stunned when he heard Green's words. He seemed to have not expected that Wentworth could serve as the team's seeker in his first year, the most important role in the Quidditch team.

"In addition to being our Hufflepuff prefect, Green is also the captain of our Hufflepuff Quidditch team."

Wentworth heard Cedric's explanation and looked at Green in surprise. He didn't expect that Green was such an all-rounder.

On the other side, Marcus, who had reacted, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, well, Prefect Green, you are amazing. I think I understand what you mean. Are you planning to give up the results of the next few years and use them to train an excellent Seeker? But are you so sure that this kid is worthy of your training?"

As he was speaking, Marcus turned his head towards Wentworth and said disdainfully:

"Hey, kid, have you ever seen the Golden Snitch? Do you know how to catch the Golden Snitch?"

Wentworth glanced at Marcus and then turned back, completely ignoring Marcus's intention.

"You kid..."

Seeing this, Marcus stretched out his hand and was about to walk towards Wentworth, but was stopped by Green.

"I told you, stay away from our Seeker!"

After saying that, Marcus turned around and walked back to the Slytherin table, talking to the Slytherin students.

Soon, the players of the Slytherin Quidditch team all learned the news that Hufflepuff's seeker this year was a first-year rookie.

"That's great! This way, we can exclude Hufflepuffs directly and don't have to do targeted exercises on them!"

"Is Hufflepuff going to give up completely this year? They actually let a first-year rookie be the seeker?"

"Don't say that. What if he is a rare genius that only appears once in a few hundred years? Haha!"

"No, no, we can't underestimate Hufflepuff. We have to get as many points from Hufflepuff as possible!"

The members of the Slytherin Quidditch team became happier and louder as they talked, and even Wentworth and others sitting at the Hufflepuff table could hear them clearly.

Moreover, even within Hufflepuff House, some people raised doubts.

"Captain Green, is what Slytherin said true? Are we really going to let Wentworth be the team's seeker?"

A member of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team came over and asked Green.

"That's right. It was Principal Dumbledore who personally wrote the recommendation letter for Wentworth. Don't you think you can trust Principal Dumbledore?"

Of course Green knew what they meant by coming to ask him, so he simply brought Dumbledore out.

And the Hufflepuff Quidditch team member said:

"Of course I believe in Headmaster Dumbledore. I even believe that Wentworth will become an excellent Seeker in the future, but this requires a process. After all, Wentworth has not participated in a single training session. He may not even have caught a Golden Snitch once!"

Hearing his teammates say this, Green didn't know how to comfort them for a moment. After all, almost every Hogwarts student wanted to join the Quidditch teams of the four major colleges.

As a freshman, Wentworth became Hufflepuff's Seeker shortly after the start of school, which really made many people dissatisfied.

At this moment, accompanied by a few owl calls, many owls flew into the Hogwarts Great Hall and dropped many Daily Prophet in front of many people.

"Why is the Daily Prophet so late today? Isn't it usually delivered in the morning?"

Doubtful voices were heard all around.

But soon, someone spoke up to answer the man: "Have you forgotten that last night was the Quidditch World Cup final? Today's issue of the Daily Prophet must have been printed after the final. It's normal for it to be late."

"Yeah, last night was the Quidditch World Cup final! Go check it out! See if there's any big news!"

With the sound of flipping newspapers, the entire Hogwarts Great Hall gradually became quiet after a while, and many people's eyes gradually turned to the direction of Hufflepuff.
