The entire morning.

Snape's sarcasm barely stopped.

Even knowing he was imparting knowledge, not many students would be willing to feel grateful to him, though Snape probably didn't care about that either...

Therefore, until the end of class, the first-year new students of Hufflepuff House and Ravenclaw House were still immersed in the frustration of being hit by Snape's chain of blows.

Almost none of these new students noticed how much valuable knowledge they had actually learned in Potions Class, which was no surprise when Professor Snape was good at everything except for having a mouth...

After class.

Seeing Professor Snape leave the classroom, Cedric put away his notebook and softly asked his friend, "Vinson, why do I feel like Professor Snape's mood looks a little bad?"

"When do you think his mood is ever good?"

Vinson Wright yawned and casually replied with a bored tone, "I reckon that even after we graduate, Professor Snape's mood won't become very good..."

Even if Peter Pettigrew's business hadn't happened two days ago, Severus Snape's mood wouldn't be very good, because this man lived too bitterly...

Though it was probably also because of the trouble stirred up by Peter Pettigrew that made Snape's mood even worse.

"Let's go, it's time for lunch."

Vinson Wright twisted his wrist.

Cedric nodded while helping Vinson pack up his notes.

As for the matter of Professor Snape deducting points, not a single Hufflepuff student present blamed Vinson, because any normal person could see that many people had already looked somewhat exhausted by then, and Vinson was just the unlucky one picked out among them.

Just as the two of them were hurrying to the Hogwarts Great Hall to eat, a girl suddenly ran over to them with an anxious look all over her face: "Vinson! Cedric! Some new students from Gryffindor and Slytherin are fighting in the courtyard!"

Awesome!

Fighting directly on the very first day of formal classes!

"Is anyone hurt?"

This was the enthusiastic and kind-hearted Cedric.

"Are there many people fighting?"

This was the even more enthusiastic and kind-hearted Vinson Wright.

"I don't know..."

The Hufflepuff girl looked at Cedric and shook her head in a daze, then glanced back at the grey-haired boy: "When I came over, a lot of people had already gone there, and there were also many onlookers. I don't know how many people are actually fighting. I'm going to find the Prefect, I'm going to find a professor right now..."

Vinson Wright's eye twitched.

Why did she have to mention this matter to two people who had nothing to do with it when she went to find a prefect and a professor? The whole bunch of onlookers must have been summoned by her!

The scene of this house brawl was quite large.

A group of little wizards wearing Gryffindor badges and a group wearing Slytherin ones were confronting each other, every little wizard's face filled with indignation and their eyes blazing with anger as they looked at the opposite side.

However...

The situation on the scene was actually somewhat distressing to look at.

The first-year new students of Gryffindor House and Slytherin House were arguing, the first-year new students of Hufflepuff House were helping to mediate the fight, and the first-year new students of Ravenclaw House were actually reasoning with them...

Was this a time for reasoning?

What kind of a mess was all this!

Petrificus Totalus!

A spell flew toward Vinson out of nowhere!

"Look out!"

Cedric, standing beside Vinson, was quick-eyed and nimble-handed, rapidly drawing his wand and batting this Petrifying Curse away.

Unluckily, a kind-hearted Ravenclaw student who had been reasoning was innocently caught in the crossfire and blasted flying straight backward!

So, as the saying goes...

Don't go rubbernecking when other people are fighting.

As someone broke the balance of the standoff and suddenly used a spell, any little wizard in Slytherin House and Gryffindor House who had learned a spell hurriedly waved their wands!

Petrificus Totalus!

Leg Locker Curse!

Stupefy!

Scourgify!

Petrificus Totalus!

All of a sudden...

Fragile magic flew wildly across the entire courtyard!

Whether it was Gryffindor House or Slytherin House, they had just attended their Charm Class that morning, and every little wizard was scrambling to cast whatever spell they could manage at the other side!

The brawl between these little wizards was fought with zero technical content...

Any little wizard who could manage to pull off an offensive spell could already be considered to have a family legacy of magic...

Among them, Slytherin House clearly held the advantage because they were all born into wizarding families, yet Gryffindor House under the leadership of the Weasley twins showed no weakness either!

"What a bunch of..."

Vinson Wright didn't even know what to say when he looked at this scene.

To be honest, calling this a peck-fight between a bunch of chickens would still be overestimating them.

Since they were all a bunch of rookie little wizards, it was naturally inevitable that some would accidentally misfire their spells while swinging their wands...

They couldn't even fully master charms yet!

Cedric guarded Vinson Wright's side, using his wand to bat away a spell that had been thrown wildly off-course out of nowhere, while turning his head to look at his friend: "Vinson, let's step back a bit and wait for the professors and prefects to come..."

Before his voice trailed off.

Two spells flew over together!

This was the masterpiece of a Slytherin new student and another Gryffindor new student, and clearly neither of them could control their own magic power!

Before Cedric had time to say anything, he could only hurriedly bat away one of the spells, only to be struck down to the ground by the other spell!

This truly was getting caught in the crossfire...

"Sorry!"

A dark-skinned Gryffindor girl looked in the direction of Cedric and Vinson.

"No rush."

Vinson Wright said something inexplicable, squatted down, and checked Cedric's injuries.

The next moment, Vinson couldn't help frowning, raising his voice: "Come on, a few people help out, Cedric is hurt..."

"No, I'm fine..."

The handsome young Hufflepuff struggled to stand up, only to be held firmly down on the ground by Vinson Wright so he couldn't get back up.

Seeing that someone actually seemed to be injured, the conflict in the courtyard slowly quieted down.

Because the new students of Slytherin House and Gryffindor House had only just started learning to fight with magic, even hitting an opponent only resulted in making them tumble to the ground without causing any real harm.

Among them, the ones with the best battle record were the Weasley twins, who had merely frozen two Slytherin new students in place with Petrifying Curses.

No one expected...

That the Hufflepuff House students watching from the sidelines would actually be the first to suffer a casualty, and now this person couldn't even stand up...

"Come and help quickly!"

Vinson Wright said loudly while holding Cedric down: "Who knows how to use the Sleeping Charm, let Cedric rest for a while!"

"Vinson, I'm really fine..."

Cedric was still desperately trying to explain; he didn't want to cause trouble for people at all, and besides, he felt there was nothing wrong with him.

"I do!"

A Hufflepuff boy rushed over like lightning, pulled out his wand, and pointed it at Cedric who was lying on the ground acting as if he were struggling in agony: Stupefy!

A spell struck Cedric's body.

Cedric, who had been struggling to get up, finally slowly closed his eyes with the help of two Hufflepuff boys.

Vinson Wright breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Can someone help carry my friend back to our common room? Cedric doesn't seem to want to go to the hospital wing."

"I'll help!"

Hufflepuff was never short of enthusiastic little badgers.

Not to mention that Vinson enjoyed a very high reputation in Hufflepuff.

When Vinson asked for help, two or three new students immediately came over and carried Cedric away on their backs.

Everyone present watched as Cedric was taken away by several new students, and some of them couldn't help feeling a bit uneasy in their hearts, afraid this would bring about even greater trouble.

However...

The biggest trouble appeared very soon.

"Alright, now we can settle accounts properly."

Vinson Wright slowly stood up and looked at all the new students of Gryffindor and Slytherin: "My friend was accidentally injured by you just now. Is anyone going to give me an explanation?"

Finally...

An excuse to make a move had been found.

It's been a long time since I wrote a thank-you letter!
