Fortunately, Professor Snape also came to the Hufflepuff common room, otherwise, Wentworth doubted whether Dumbledore could get rid of those passionate entanglements.

When they arrived at Wentworth's dormitory, Cedric was still waiting there. When he saw Dumbledore, he hurriedly greeted him.

Dumbledore came to Wentworth's bed and looked carefully at the pumpkin on the bed with a deep look in his eyes.

At this time, Snape also came over, and after carefully examining the pumpkin in front of him, Snape asked Dumbledore with some uncertainty: "Principal Dumbledore, is this really a portkey?"

Dumbledore said very calmly: "I don't know either."

Snape: "..."

At this moment, Professor Sprout, who received the news and heard that Dumbledore had arrived, also rushed over, followed by Professor Ilona, ​​the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.

After the few people met and greeted each other, Dumbledore asked Wentworth to tell him again about his dream and what happened afterwards.

After listening to Wentworth's story, Professor Sprout looked at the pumpkin on Wentworth's bed in surprise. After taking a closer look, Professor Sprout said: "This pumpkin has indeed been swapped!"

Dumbledore and the others were surprised to hear what Professor Sprout said, and there was a hint of murderous intent in Ilona's eyes as she looked at the pumpkin.

"I personally decorated the pumpkin lanterns on each student's bed, and they were all made by themselves. I still remember Wentworth's pumpkin lantern. I even told the house elf who helped me that it seemed that Wentworth was not good at handicrafts."

Wentworth: “…”

Ignoring the socially dead Wentworth, Professor Sprout continued, "I remember clearly that Wentworth's pumpkin lantern was not as beautiful as this one."

After hearing Professor Sprout's explanation, Dumbledore nodded slowly, and then said calmly: "There is one thing I want to explain to all the professors. Wentworth is indeed one of the few students with a talent for divination. I believe you have also heard the rumors about Wentworth from Professor Trelawney. I want to say that they are all true. Wentworth does have the ability to divine through dreams."

Everyone nodded. After all, this matter was no longer a secret among the professors.

But Cedric and Green looked at each other with surprise. They didn't expect that Wentworth's divination ability would be affirmed by Dumbledore. This was something they had not expected.

Dumbledore continued:

"Through Wentworth's unconscious dream divination and Professor Sprout's determination, we can preliminarily determine that the pumpkin lantern in front of us has indeed been tampered with. It is very likely that it has been replaced with a door key."

"And according to the content of Wentworth's dream divination, there is a high possibility that a wizard who uses dark magic is waiting at the place where the door key is connected."

Having said that, Dumbledore paused and turned his gaze to Wentworth.

"Wentworth, what do you want to do with this pumpkin?"

Before Wentworth could speak, Professor Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff House, spoke first:

"Of course we have to destroy it!"

As soon as Professor Sprout finished speaking, Professor Ilona directly objected: "No, that won't work. We still don't know who is going to attack Wentworth. Principal Dumbledore, why don't you give it to me? I'll go and see who is provoking our Hogwarts!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Professor Ilona finished speaking, Snape said, "This time, I agree with Professor Ilona's suggestion."

But Professor Sprout was still a little hesitant.

"That's what you said, but you just heard what Wentworth said. The other side used the Unforgivable Curse right from the start. They are obviously wizards who are good at using dark magic. Who can guarantee that they won't get hurt?!"

"Let Wentworth make the decision on this matter."

After hearing what Dumbledore said, everyone else had to shut up and look at Wentworth.

After a long silence, Wentworth said:

"Principal Dumbledore, I still hope to find out who did this, but I am also worried that a professor might get hurt because of this, which would make me very uneasy."

After hearing what Wentworth said, Dumbledore smiled kindly and said slowly:

"Wentworth, you are a good boy, so you must obey orders."

"Don't worry, Headmaster Dumbledore. I will definitely obey...wait, obey orders? Do you mean that I have to go too?"

Wentworth looked at Dumbledore in disbelief. Not only Wentworth, but the other professors obviously did not expect that Dumbledore would let Wentworth go with him even though he knew it was so dangerous.

But Dumbledore said as a matter of course: "Of course, since you want to find out who wants to attack you, you naturally have to find the answer yourself."

Wentworth immediately said with a serious expression: "Principal Dumbledore, I think we should not waste the professors' time and destroy this thing."

But Dumbledore smiled and said:

"It's okay. I won't waste the professors' time because I'll be accompanying you personally this time."

Dumbledore said, holding Wentworth's hand with one hand and reaching for the jack-o'-lantern with the other.

However, a figure suddenly stood in front of Dumbledore and Wentworth.

"Professor Ilona, ​​do you have anything to say?"

Dumbledore looked at Ilona standing in front of him and didn't seem particularly surprised.

Ilona said with a somewhat unfriendly look: "Principal Dumbledore, I still think that place is too dangerous. Wentworth is only a first-year student, so it is better for him to stay in Hogwarts. How about I go with you?"

After Ilona finished speaking, she looked at Dumbledore quietly, with no intention of moving aside. The two looked at each other for a moment before Dumbledore casually said:

"I remember that during the interview, you once told me that you advocated actual combat!"

"I'm talking about actual combat between wizards of equal skill!"

Ilona explained quickly.

"But we don't always encounter opponents who are equal to us or even weaker than us, right?"

Dumbledore's words left Ilona speechless.
