A Fight Broke Out! A Fight Broke Out!

The entire morning.

Snape's taunts barely stopped.

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

As a result, by the time class ended, the first-year students from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw were still immersed in the frustration of being continuously attacked by Snape.

Few of these new students noticed how much valuable knowledge they had actually learned in Potions Class. It was just that Professor Snape was excellent in every way except for the fact that he had a mouth...

After class.

Cedric saw Professor Snape leave the classroom before he put away his notebook and quietly asked his friend, "Vinson, why do I feel like Professor Snape isn't in a very good mood?"

"When do you think he's ever in a good mood?"

Vinson Wright yawned and casually replied, "I bet even after we graduate, Professor Snape's mood won't get any better..."

Even if the incident with Peter Pettigrew hadn't happened two days ago, Severus Snape's mood wouldn't have been good, because the man lived too painfully...

However, it was also possible that the trouble caused by Peter Pettigrew had made Snape's mood even worse.

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

Vinson Wright twisted his wrist.

Cedric nodded, helping Vinson put away his notes.

As for being deducted points by Professor Snape, none of the Hufflepuff students present blamed Vinson, because any normal person could see that many people were already tired of listening, and Vinson was just the unlucky one who got singled out.

Just as the two of them were heading to the Great Hall at Hogwarts for lunch, a girl suddenly ran towards them with an anxious look on her face: "Vinson! Cedric! Some first-years from Gryffindor and Slytherin are fighting in the square!"

"..."

Amazing!

Fighting on the very first day of official classes!

"Is anyone hurt?"

This was the kind and good-hearted Cedric.

"Are there many people fighting?"

This was the even kinder and more good-hearted Vinson Wright.

"I don't know..."

The Hufflepuff girl looked at Cedric, shaking her head in confusion. She then glanced at the gray-haired boy: "When I arrived, many people had already gathered, and there were a lot of onlookers. I don't know how many people are actually fighting. I'm going to find a prefect, I need to go find a professor right away..."

"..."

Vinson Wright's eye twitched.

Why are you telling two people who have nothing to do with it when you're going to find a prefect and a professor? You probably gathered all those onlookers yourself!

This inter-house brawl was quite a scene.

A group of young wizards wearing Gryffindor badges and a group of young wizards wearing Slytherin badges were confronting each other. Every young wizard's face was full of indignation, and their eyes were filled with rage as they looked at each other.

However...

The situation on the scene was actually a bit unbearable to watch.

The first-year students from Gryffindor and Slytherin were arguing, the first-year students from Hufflepuff were trying to mediate, and the first-year students from Ravenclaw were actually trying to reason with them...

Was this the time to reason?

What a mess!

"Petrificus Totalus!"

A spell inexplicably flew towards Vinson!

"Watch out!"

Cedric, standing beside Vinson, reacted quickly, drawing his wand and deflecting the Petrifying Charm.

Unfortunately, a kind Ravenclaw student who was trying to reason was innocently caught in the crossfire and sent flying backward!

So...

Don't go watching when others are fighting.

As someone broke the stalemate and suddenly cast a spell, the young wizards in Slytherin and Gryffindor who had learned spells hurriedly waved their wands!

"Petrificus Totalus!"

"Leg Locker Curse!"

"Stupefy!"

"Scourgify!"

"Petrificus Totalus!"

In an instant...

Fragile magic flew everywhere across the square!

Both Gryffindor and Slytherin had just finished their Charms class in the morning, and every young wizard was scrambling to cast any spell they could at each other!

This brawl between the young wizards was utterly devoid of skill...

Any young wizard who could manage even a single offensive spell could already be considered to come from a distinguished family...

Slytherin clearly had the advantage, as they were all born into wizarding families, but Gryffindor, led by the Weasley twins, was not about to back down!

"What a bunch of..."

Vinson Wright watched the scene, unsure of what to say.

To be honest, describing them as chickens pecking at each other would have been overestimating them.

Since they were all just novice young wizards, it was only natural that some would accidentally misaim their spells when flicking their wands...

They couldn't even fully control their spells yet!

Cedric stood by Vinson Wright, deflecting a spell that had inexplicably gone astray with his wand. He turned to his friend, "Vinson, let's fall back a bit and wait for the Professor and Prefects to arrive..."

Before he could finish speaking.

Two spells flew towards them simultaneously!

These were the handiwork of a Slytherin first-year and another Gryffindor first-year. Clearly, neither of them could control their magic properly!

Cedric didn't even have time to say anything before he managed to deflect one spell, only to be hit by the other and knocked to the ground!

This was truly being caught in the crossfire...

"Sorry!"

A dark-skinned Gryffindor girl looked towards Cedric and Vinson.

"No worries."

Vinson Wright said something inexplicable and crouched down to check Cedric's injuries.

The next moment, Vinson couldn't help but frown. He shouted, "Someone help! Cedric's injured..."

"No, I'm fine..."

The handsome young man from Hufflepuff struggled to get up, but Vinson Wright held him firmly on the ground.

As it seemed someone was genuinely injured, the conflict in the square slowly calmed down.

Since the first-years from Slytherin and Gryffindor had only just begun learning to fight with magic, even if they hit their opponents, it would only cause them to fall to the ground, not inflict any significant damage.

The Weasley twins, who had the best record, had only managed to immobilize two Slytherin first-years with the Petrifying Charm.

No one expected...

That the first injured person would come from the Hufflepuff students who were watching from the side. This person couldn't even stand up now...

"Quick, someone help!"

Vinson Wright, while holding Cedric down, shouted, "Does anyone know the Sleeping Charm? Let Cedric rest for a bit!"

"Vinson, I really am fine..."

Cedric desperately tried to explain. He didn't want to cause any trouble at all, and he felt like there was nothing wrong with him.

"I do!"

A Hufflepuff boy rushed over as if flying, pulled out his wand, and pointed it at Cedric, who was lying on the ground and struggling as if in pain. "Stupefy!"

"..."

A spell hit 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 infirmary."

"I'll help!"

Hufflepuff never lacked enthusiastic little badgers.

Moreover, Vinson had a high reputation among Hufflepuffs.

When Vinson asked for help, two or three first-years immediately came to help carry Cedric away.

Everyone present watched as Cedric was taken away by some first-years. Some of them felt uneasy, fearing that this would lead to bigger trouble.

However...

The biggest trouble arrived very quickly.

"Alright, now we can settle the score properly."

Vinson Wright slowly stood up and looked at all the first-years from Gryffindor and Slytherin. "My friend was accidentally injured by you just now. Does anyone want to give me an explanation?"

Finally...

He had found an excuse to act.
