Hogwarts: I Became the Third Dark Lord.

Wentworth stared at Cassandra in shock, muttering incredulously:

“Cassandra, are you sure your father was the head of the Auror Office at the British Ministry of Magic? Are all British Aurors this shady?”

Meanwhile, Green, sensing that the conversation had to stop, finally stood up and said:

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your conversation, but I think you should get ready to change your clothes, we'll be arriving at the Hogsmeade Village station soon!"

As he spoke, Green prepared to walk out, and Cedric, standing beside him, quickly asked:

"Green, where are you going?"

Green said with a big smile:

"As a Hufflepuff prefect, of course I'm going to remind everyone to get ready to get off the bus! I need to do my best this year, after all, I'll be eligible to run for Hogwarts Student Council President next year!"

Hearing Green's words, Cedric nodded knowingly, while Wentworth asked in surprise:

"We at Hogwarts have a student council?"

It's no wonder Wentworth was curious, because both in the original story and during Wentworth's year at Hogwarts, the Hogwarts Student Council seemed to have a very low profile, to the point that Wentworth had overlooked its existence.

Hearing Wentworth's surprise, Cedric explained to Wentworth:

"The Hogwarts student council president is appointed by the headmaster to be a seventh-year student. They are usually responsible for assisting the professors and handling some student-related matters. However, since most seventh-year students are busy with graduation, they generally do not exercise the rights of the student council unless ordered by a professor or the headmaster."

Hearing Cedric's explanation, Wentworth nodded in understanding. Just then, Wentworth noticed Cassandra seemed about to say something, so he quickly changed the subject, saying:

"That's why I've always felt that Hogwarts needs to make changes! Like this student council—it's practically useless! The school should find a way to motivate the student council!"

Hearing Wentworth's words, Cedric asked, somewhat puzzled:

"How do we motivate the student council?"

Then Wentworth whispered mysteriously:

"It's simple, just give the students some competition! Have you heard of Kassel College in the United States?"

Cedric and Cassandra exchanged a glance and shook their heads simultaneously.

Wentworth suppressed a laugh and said seriously:

"At Kassel College, in addition to the student union, there is also the Lionheart Society, which has an equally long history! Most of the school's elite students will join one of these two organizations!"

"The members of the Lionheart Society are all elites in the school, and at times, the Lionheart Society's strength even surpasses that of the student council!"

"This puts the two organizations in constant competition, forcing these students to work harder, otherwise they will inevitably be ridiculed by the other side. As a result, the school will produce more elite students!"

Cedric nodded thoughtfully after hearing Wentworth's account.

"Snapped!"

Meanwhile, Cassandra, on the other hand, slapped her book and said with a radiant smile:

“I understand what you mean! Wentworth, you are a genius! Grindelwald’s brilliance will surely be carried on by you!”

Wentworth: ? ? ?

Chapter 169 Cassandra's Delusions

Hearing Cassandra's words, Wentworth felt that she had misunderstood something. Just as Wentworth was about to explain, he saw Cassandra put away her book and say to Wentworth and Cedric:

"Gentlemen, I'm about to change my clothes. Would you two like to excuse me?"

Upon hearing Cassandra's words, Wentworth had no choice but to leave the box with Cedric first. Afterward, the group took turns entering the box and changing into Hogwarts robes.

Just as Wentworth, having changed his clothes, was about to explain to Cassandra that the story he had just told wasn't really anything special, he heard the train whistle sound, the train gradually came to a stop, and he even heard Hagrid's voice:

"Alright, freshmen, this way! Don't be shy, follow me!"

Just then, Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, and Ron Weasley walked over together. Harry pointed at Wentworth and said to Ron:

"This is the Wentworth I was talking about. Hey Wentworth, this is Ron!"

Actually, even without Harry's introduction, Wentworth knew who Ron was just by looking at his red hair.

Ron looked at Wentworth with adoration and said:

"Hello senior, I heard you're the youngest Seeker at Hogwarts and even played in the Quidditch World Cup final! I look forward to your guidance in the future!"

Just then, Hagrid's voice rang out again, urging the new students of Hogwarts to hurry over. Ron and Draco quickly greeted Wentworth and then turned and got off the Hogwarts Express.

But Harry deliberately walked behind, and as he passed Wentworth, he whispered:

"Wentworth, which house do you think I'll be sorted into?"

Wentworth thought to himself, "Given Old Bee's fondness for you, you can choose any of the four houses! Just don't come to Hufflepuff! I worked so hard to earn these points, I don't want them to be deducted by you so easily! The Hogwarts Point Deduction Team, it's not just a name for nothing."

So Wentworth said very kindly to Harry:

“I think Slytherin and Gryffindor are both good choices. Slytherin can help you on your path to success (after all, the head of the house is your mother’s sycophant), and Gryffindor is also quite suitable, since your parents are both from Gryffindor.”

Hearing Wentworth's words, Harry fell into deep thought for a moment. Just then, Hagrid's voice rang out again, urging the freshmen who hadn't yet arrived to hurry up and report to him.

Upon hearing Hagrid's voice, Harry had no choice but to say goodbye to Wentworth and then hurried toward the direction from which Hagrid's voice came.

Harry Potter had just left when Cassandra and Cedric walked over together. Cedric, watching Harry's departing figure, asked curiously:

"What's your relationship with those kids from earlier? They seemed to know you quite well."

Wentworth smiled helplessly:

"When I tell you I only did two things during my vacation: raising animals and taking care of the kids, do you think I'm joking?"

The three of them got off the train while talking. Wentworth pointed to Harry, who was standing at the very back, and said:

"The last child is the famous Harry Potter. The red-haired one on the left is Ron Weasley, and the one to Harry's right is Draco Malfoy. Yesterday, Draco and Hagrid celebrated Harry's birthday together at my house!"

Upon hearing Wentworth's explanation, Cedric simply nodded dismissively. After all, having lived with the leader of the Mughal Party every day, Cedric had seen his share of the world, and Harry Potter was at most a novelty to him.

But Cassandra's eyes gradually lit up as Wentworth introduced himself. Glancing at Wentworth beside her, Cassandra thought to herself:

Wentworth, so you still say you don't want to develop your own power at Hogwarts? Look at the people you've chosen, they either come from ancient wizarding families or have enormous potential. Since there are some things you can't do yourself, let me lend you a hand!

Just then, Green walked up from behind and said:

“Let’s go, Wentworth. This year, you won’t be taking a boat to Hogwarts. Guess how we’ll get in?”

"Riding a carriage at night."

Wentworth said without hesitation.

Green was taken aback, and asked:

"How did you know? Did Cedric already tell you?"

Cedric, standing to the side, shrugged, indicating that he hadn't told Wentworth.

Wentworth, however, said with a smile:

"What a joke! Have you forgotten that I'm destined to become a prophetic wizard!"

Meanwhile, led by Hagrid, the new students of Hogwarts arrived one by one at the shore of the Black Lake. Hagrid pointed to the small boats on the Black Lake behind him and asked:

"There are four people on each boat, who wants to go first?"

Many students exchanged glances, and for a moment, no one stepped forward.

Finally, Hermione took the lead and walked towards the small boat on the lake, but as she passed Harry, she invited him to go:

"Shall we go together?"

Harry was taken aback, then nodded nervously and agreed, following Hermione forward.

Once Harry left, only Ron and Draco remained. They exchanged a glance and said simultaneously:

"Tch, coward!"

The two then followed Harry toward the small boat.

As the small boat glided along on the pitch-black lake, the four of them couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Draco, unable to contain himself, broke the silence by asking:

"Harry, have you thought it through? Join Slytherin! I'm definitely going to join Slytherin, then we can be together all the time again. Don't worry, my dad is a Hogwarts board member, no one will dare to bully us at Hogwarts!"

After saying that, Draco gave Ron a smug look, and even his initial fear had dissipated considerably.

Hearing Draco's repeated invitations, Harry was somewhat tempted! Moreover, a voice seemed to be telling Harry Potter: Go to Slytherin, and you can become the best wizard there!

Seeing Draco's expression, Ron was immediately enraged and blurted out:

"Harry, go to whichever house you want, just don't go to Slytherin!"

Hearing Ron's words, Draco was about to retort when Harry spoke first, asking:

"Why Ron?"

Ron pointed at Harry's forehead and said:

"Because the one who left this scar on your forehead was from Slytherin!"

Chapter 170 Another Year of Sorting Ceremony

Harry was taken aback when he heard Ron's words; clearly, this was the first time Harry had heard this news.

Draco, who had even stood up, intending to mock Ron, fell silent and sat back down. After all, Ron's reason was so compelling that no one could refute it.

Seeing the atmosphere on the ship plummet, Hermione suddenly broke the silence, pointing ahead and saying:

"Look! We're almost there!"

The three looked in the direction Hermione was pointing, and there stood the majestic Hogwarts Castle, bathed in starlight.

While the new students at Hogwarts were still enjoying the cold wind on the Black Lake, Wentworth and the others had already entered Hogwarts in a night carriage.

As soon as Wentworth entered the Great Hall of Hogwarts, he immediately looked toward the teachers' seats at the front of the hall. When Wentworth saw a strange face wearing a purple hood and looking somewhat nervous in the teachers' seats, Wentworth felt relieved.

In fact, on the way here, Wentworth was worried and afraid that his arrival would cause a butterfly effect that would prevent Quirrell, or rather Voldemort, from appearing at Hogwarts. In that case, his plan to "raise a bandit for his own benefit" would end before it even began.

Once Wentworth, Cedric, and the others were seated, they chatted about their holiday adventures while waiting for Hogwarts' annual Sorting Ceremony.

Soon, under Professor McGonagall's guidance, the first-year students entered the Great Hall of Hogwarts for the first time, and the Sorting Ceremony unfolded in sequence, just as described in the books.
