When Dumbledore brought Wentworth and Green to Hufflepuff's common room, Hufflepuff cheered, and Dumbledore smiled and handed out candy to everyone.

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

When he came to Wentworth's dormitory, Cedric was still staying here, and when he saw Dumbledore, he hurriedly said hello.

Dumbledore came to Wentworth's bed and carefully observed the pumpkin on the bed with deep eyes.

At this time, Snape also came up. After carefully looking at the pumpkin in front of him, Snape asked Dumbledore with some uncertainty:

"Headmaster Dumbledore, is this really a Portkey?"

Dumbledore said very calmly:

"I do not know either."

Snape: "..."

At this moment, I got the news that Professor Sprout, who heard that Dumbledore was coming, also rushed over, followed by Professor Ilona, ​​the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.

After a few people met and greeted each other, Dumbledore asked Wentworth to tell about his dream and what happened next.

After listening to Wentworth's narration, Professor Sprout looked at the pumpkin on Wentworth's bed with a look of surprise. After carefully looking at it, Professor Sprout said:

"This pumpkin was indeed swapped!"

Hearing what Professor Sprout said, Dumbledore and the others were surprised, and Ilona looked at the pumpkin with a faint murderous look.

"The jack-o-lanterns on each student's bed were arranged by myself, and all of them were made by themselves. At that time, I still had the impression of Wentworth's jack-o-lanterns. I also helped with the house elves. Say, it seems that Wentworth is not good at manual work."

Wentworth: "..."

Ignoring Wentworth who died on the side, Professor Sprout continued:

"I remember very clearly that Wentworth's jack-o-lantern is not as beautiful as this one."

Hearing Professor Sprout's explanation, Dumbledore nodded slowly, and then said unhurriedly:

"One thing, I want to explain to the professors that Wentworth is indeed one of the few students with a talent for divination. You must have heard the rumors about Wentworth from Professor Trelawney. I want to say, That's all true, Wentworth does have the ability of dream divination."

Everyone nodded. After all, it was no secret among the professors.

But Cedric and Green looked at each other with surprise on their faces. Unexpectedly, Wentworth's divination ability was actually affirmed by Dumbledore. This was something they never expected.

And Dumbledore continued:

"Through Wentworth's unconscious dream divination and Professor Sprout's identification, we can already preliminarily determine that the jack-o-lantern in front of us has indeed been tampered with, and it is very likely that it was replaced with a portkey. .”

"According to the content of Wentworth's dream divination, there is a high possibility that there is a wizard using black magic waiting there where the port key is linked."

Having said that, Dumbledore paused for a moment, and set his sights on Wentworth.

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

Before Wentworth could speak, Hufflepuff's dean, Professor Sprout, spoke first:

"That goes without saying, it must be destroyed!"

As soon as Professor Sprout finished speaking, Professor Ilona directly objected:

"That won't work, then 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 hesitated.

"That's what I said, but you heard Wentworth's words just now. The Unforgivable Curse came up on the other side. They are obviously wizards who are good at using black magic. Who can guarantee that they will not get hurt?!"

Seeing that several professors were about to quarrel, Dumbledore could not help coughing twice, interrupting their argument, but still focused on Wentworth.

"Let Wentworth decide on this matter."

Hearing Dumbledore's words, the others could only shut their mouths and looked 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 some professors will be injured because of this incident, which will make me very disturbed."

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, Principal Dumbledore, I will definitely listen... wait a minute, listen to the command? Do you mean, I'm going too?"

Wentworth looked at Dumbledore in disbelief. Not only Wentworth, but also the other professors obviously did not expect that Dumbledore would let Wentworth follow him when he knew it was such a dangerous situation. go.

But Dumbledore said of course:

"Of course, since you want to find out who wants to do something to you, it's up to you to find the answer yourself."

Wentworth immediately said with a serious expression:

"Principal Dumbledore, I think, don't waste the time of the professors, let this thing ruin it."

But Dumbledore said with a smile:

"It's okay, I won't waste the time of the professors, because this time, I will accompany you personally."

Dumbledore said, grasping Wentworth's hand with one hand, and stretching out the other hand to the pumpkin lantern.

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

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

Dumbledore didn't seem particularly surprised when he looked at Ilona who stood in front of him.

And Ilona said with a bit of a bad face:

"Principal Dumbledore, I still think it's too dangerous there. Wentworth is only a first-year student, so it's better to stay at Hogwarts. How about I go with you?"

After Ilona finished speaking, she looked at Dumbledore quietly, without any intention of getting out of the way. The two looked at each other. After a while, Dumbledore said casually:

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

"I'm talking about actual combat between wizards of the same level!"

Ilona quickly explained.

"But we won't encounter opponents who are at our level or even weaker than us every time, will we?"

Dumbledore's words left Ilona speechless.
