Chapter 24 "Lucky Star of Hufflepuff"

After hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Professor Snape's anger slightly lessened.

He then turned his attention back to Wentworth, as it was evident that Wentworth was the initiator of the incident.

Professor Sprout stood up to defend Wentworth, but Professor Snape interrupted her before she could speak.

"Mr. Wentworth, you seem to be quite skilled with the cauldron. That's good, it shows your talent!"

"For the next month, Monday to Friday, after dinner in the evening, you will come to me, and I will personally teach you some advanced potions prepared in cauldrons!"

"This is not a punishment; it's a reward!" Professor Snape stated and quickly left the Hufflepuff common room.

Hearing this, Professor Sprout could no longer plead for Wentworth.

Seeing Professor Snape leave and the other professors preparing to depart, Professor Dumbledore entered the room.

The students greeted Professor Dumbledore with respect, and he was intrigued by the aroma of the hot pot.

Professor Dumbledore tasted the dish and praised, "It's really good. I didn't expect such a simple cooking method to produce such delicious food."

The students credited Wentworth's excellent seasoning, and Dumbledore nodded in agreement.

He praised Hufflepuff for showing courage by facing the unknown danger.

"For your bravery, Hufflepuff gains ten points!"

Professor Dumbledore continued to acknowledge their responsibility for the incident.

"In the face of possible punishment, you didn't shy away from responsibility but stepped forward willingly. This is a rare quality even among adult wizards. Hufflepuff earns another ten points!"

The students erupted in cheers, and Dumbledore still had something to say.

He approached Wentworth and looked into his eyes, sensing his admiration.

"Wentworth, thank you for giving an old man such a delicious meal and for contributing to the diversity of Hogwarts' recipes. Hufflepuff gains five more points!"

The students were elated, and Hufflepuff became the first house to score points that day.

Green, Hufflepuff's prefect, expressed his pride at leading the other houses for the first time in five years.

"Wentworth, you are the lucky star of our Hufflepuffs!"

Green's words brought joy to Wentworth's heart. As more students joined in the celebration, Wentworth found himself thrown into the air.

Professor Ilona, watching this scene, felt a sense of pride for the future leader of the Alliance Party.

Perhaps joining Hufflepuff was part of Wentworth's master plan.

Being the largest house, the wizards from Hufflepuff would play crucial roles in the future magic world.

Looking at Wentworth with admiration, Professor Ilona realized he might be planning for something much bigger than she initially thought.
