Cedric, Lend a Hand, Let's Throw Him Out Together

The Hogwarts Express carriage was quite spacious.

However, there were still too many new students enrolling this year.

When Vinson and Cedric boarded, they walked through the new students' carriages. Without exception, every compartment already had other people sitting in it.

Seeing that even the last compartment was occupied, Cedric finally looked at Vinson with some helplessness.

"Why don't we squeeze into the fifth compartment? There's only one person there, and some space..."

"No rush, I'll think of a way."

Vinson Wright slowly and firmly shook his head. He leaned against the compartment door and asked the person inside, "If you get sorted into Hufflepuff after enrolling, what would you think?"

"What's Hufflepuff?"

The young wizard in the compartment looked at them curiously.

"It's nothing, you should rest well here."

Vinson shook his head, a kind smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He gestured for Cedric to follow him to the next compartment, "Let's go, we'll ask in the next compartment..."

"Okay."

Cedric nodded happily.

At this moment, Cedric didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. He still thought Vinson Wright was looking for classmates who might be sorted into the same house.

Clearly.

Cedric was still an innocent young wizard.

"Hello."

Vinson opened another compartment door and looked down at the two girls inside, who had stopped talking. He smiled and asked them, "If you get sorted into Hufflepuff after enrolling, what would you think?"

"That would be great!"

One of the girls immediately smiled and said playfully, "Because my mom was in Hufflepuff..."

Seeing that Vinson was still pushing a cart, the other girl kindly said, "Haven't you found suitable seats yet? We have space here..."

"No, sorry to bother you."

Before the girl could finish speaking, Vinson interrupted her, politely nodded to the two girls, and said, "I hope we'll meet in Hufflepuff in the future."

After speaking, Vinson closed the door.

The two girls in the compartment were still a bit dazed.

Just as Cedric was about to ask Vinson, Vinson had already opened the next compartment door, maintaining a proper smile on his face, "Excuse me, everyone here, if you were sorted into Hufflepuff, what would you think?"

"That's a house for trash!"

"If I were sorted there, I'd rather drop out!"

"Only self-deprecating wizards would be willing to go to Hufflepuff!"

The three boys in this compartment immediately seemed to have their anger ignited. Each of them acted as if they had encountered something disgusting, arrogantly looking down on Hufflepuff.

As children from noble pure-blood wizarding families, how could they be willing to be sorted into a mediocre house like Hufflepuff!

"Okay, I understand."

Vinson Wright nodded seriously and turned back to look at Cedric, whose face was clearly flushed red with anger, "We found it, let's sit in this compartment..."

"Huh?"

Cedric was still too angry to react.

The three young wizards in the carriage also didn't understand Vinson's intention.

The next moment.

Under Cedric's gaze, Vinson suddenly took out his wand and pointed it sharply at the three boys in the compartment!

"Petrificus Totalus!"

"..."

Because Vinson cast the magic too quickly, the three boys sitting in the compartment were stunned by the Petrifying Charm before they could even let out a scream.

This is...

What's going on!

Cedric looked at Vinson Wright's actions in disbelief, completely stunned, "Vinson... we're only just enrolling, and you're already using magic to harm classmates..."

"Ignorance is bliss..."

Vinson waved his hand indifferently and said to him, "Don't just stand there, come help me. Let's throw them out..."

"Oh... okay."

Cedric nodded in a daze.

The two of them tidied up the compartment together. The three petrified young wizards and their luggage were piled onto their respective trolleys and left in the corridor to air out.

"This doesn't feel right..."

Cedric sat in the compartment seat, looking at Vinson in disbelief. "You've been asking everyone in every compartment about their attitude towards Hufflepuff, just to find the compartments that spoke ill of Hufflepuff!"

"Is there a problem?"

Vinson Wright looked up in confusion and earnestly explained, "I asked about their attitude towards Hufflepuff, they insulted Hufflepuff, so I dealt with them..."

"But..."

Cedric frowned and began to seriously think about finding loopholes. "But your... your purpose... you weren't asking about their attitude towards Hufflepuff, you originally wanted them to insult Hufflepuff so you'd have a reason to act!"

This is...

This is deliberate baiting!

Vinson Wright slowly leaned back in his seat, his expression suddenly turning cold, and began to bully the honest person. "So, Cedric, are you accusing your friend?"

"No, I didn't mean that..."

Cedric instantly blushed with shame and shook his head. "I'm just worried this might bring you trouble... If I, as your friend, don't stop you when you make a mistake, then I'm unqualified."

Moreover...

He not only didn't stop him just now...

He even took action with Vinson Wright.

Cedric felt he should keep a closer eye on Vinson Wright in the future, not let this friend stray further down the wrong path.

"Okay, next time you remember to stop me."

Vinson Wright casually brushed off Cedric.

"Okay!"

Cedric looked into Vinson's eyes and agreed very seriously. This was truly an honest child, fitting for Hufflepuff.

However...

Before the two could even settle in.

A trolley attendant auntie pushed a snack cart over. She saw the three small luggage carts blocking the way and the three petrified teenagers on them, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Oh my goodness, who did this? Petrifying three young lads right here!"

"...I'll go out and admit my mistake!"

Cedric said, reaching to open the compartment door.

"Sit down!"

Vinson Wright stood up and pushed Cedric back into the seat. He tidied his clothes and said in a deep voice, "This was my mistake, I should bear it myself..."

"No, I did it with you..."

"Cedric!"

Vinson Wright's small face looked extremely solemn and serious. "Having your friend bear the mistakes you've made is not what an honest Hufflepuff should do."

"...Vinson..."

Surprise and some relief showed on Cedric's face.

As it turned out.

Cedric was still too young.

Just as Cedric thought Vinson was going out to confess, he heard Vinson report the facts to the trolley attendant through the compartment door.

"I did this."

"I was with my friend, asking people in other compartments about joining Hufflepuff after enrolling."

"As a result, these three immediately started insulting me, saying only those who are self-deprecating would join Hufflepuff. I couldn't stand their insults and didn't expect to resolve them in one move..."

"...Well done."

The trolley attendant auntie subconsciously praised him.
