Everyone's eyes twitched uncontrollably.

This is Vinson Wright's solution? What kind of devilish words are these!

To prevent people from your Hufflepuff house from meddling and trying to break up the fight, you're telling Gryffindor and Slytherin not to fight here?

"This doesn't seem to concern Hufflepuff..."

A Gryffindor first-year looked at Vinson and couldn't help but retort subconsciously.

"Exactly!"

The Slytherin first-years quickly reacted. Seeing the Gryffindors getting agitated, they responded collectively to Gryffindor's opinion for the first time!

"You don't have to meddle!"

"That way, when we deal with those Gryffindor idiots, no one will accidentally hurt your people!"

"Always thinking you're so helpful..."

"Looks like someone wants to try my other spells again..."

Vinson Wright's words silenced the entire square. He scanned the faces of the few young wizards who had spoken up, patiently explaining, "I've always believed that a person's kindness needs to be protected, so I don't want anyone to reject Hufflepuff's good intentions..."

"..."

These words are almost reasonable.

The young wizards present had just accepted this for a second before the intelligent ones immediately realized that this behavior was even more overbearing than that of the Gryffindors and Slytherins!

Compared to these slow-reacting young wizards, some of the older students could quickly discern the essence of Vinson Wright's words.

"Huh?"

A group of older students walked down the castle steps. Among them, a young man wearing a Slytherin Prefect badge sneered, "Kid, I didn't know Hufflepuff students had become so overbearing."

This was a Slytherin Prefect.

He was even surrounded by two other Slytherin Prefects, indicating his status in Slytherin was not low. He was the seventh-year Slytherin Prefect.

In addition to the Slytherin Prefects, the three Gryffindor male Prefects also walked over, clearly there to support their first-years. Fights between first-years were usually handled by the Prefects of each house, as Hogwarts Professors generally wouldn't intervene.

The mere fact that Prefects could deduct House Points was enough to make most students unable to hold their heads up in front of them.

Unfortunately.

The Prefects from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw did not appear. They believed that the day's events had nothing to do with their houses. Perhaps they had once been as naive as the first-years, but they later realized it was better not to meddle.

The Hufflepuff Prefects probably wouldn't have imagined that their absence today would soon lead to even bigger trouble.

"..."

Vinson Wright slowly turned around, looking at the group approaching. His gaze fell upon the seventh-year Slytherin Prefect who had spoken.

Vinson Wright stared at the arrogant Slytherin Prefect, whose face was full of defiance, and saw no sign of retreat in his eyes.

"Is this considered overbearing?"

The eleven-year-old, grey-haired boy faced the young man who was six years his senior and said calmly, "If you wish... perhaps Hufflepuff can be a little overbearing."

"Kid, do you know who you're talking to?"

The Slytherin Prefect laughed instead of getting angry. He turned to the Prefects beside him and instructed, "Did you all remember this little guy's name? How many points should be deducted for talking back to a Prefect?"

"By the way, weren't the Hufflepuffs awarded points by the Professors today? Do they even have House Points now?"

"Hahahahaha..."

As Hogwarts Prefects, they had considerable authority. Talking back to a Prefect could indeed be used as an excuse for deduction, which was also why they could directly ignore younger students.

"Vinson..."

Erwin Bones couldn't help but tug at Vinson's sleeve.

As a child from the Bones family, Erwin had heard about Prefects, as their family had produced many Hufflepuff Prefects.

Vinson Wright ignored Erwin's dissuasion and instead honestly replied to the Slytherin Prefect, "Even if someone awarded points, perhaps they don't have them now? Because in today's Potions Class, Slytherin's Head of House, Professor Snape, deducted 5 points from me..."

"Hahahahaha, that's so Hufflepuff-like honesty..."

Upon hearing Vinson's words, the entire square erupted in laughter from the Slytherin students.

Before their laughter subsided, Vinson raised his wand and pointed it at the three Slytherin Prefects, "I'm not quite sure what Prefects are... but are Slytherin Prefects only good at talking?"

"Kid, you're doing something dangerous..."

One of the Slytherin Prefects warned with a cold smile, pulling out his wand and pointing it at Vinson, "You little brat, you don't think you can point your wand at everyone just because you've learned a little magic, do you? Expelliarmus!"

A spell flew from his wand!

Vinson waved his wand, deflecting the incoming Disarming Charm, and loudly chanted the same incantation. The same spell was instantly cast back!

"Expelliarmus!"

Caught off guard, the Slytherin Prefect was directly hit by Vinson's Disarming Charm. His wand flew out and landed in Vinson's hand!

Even though the Prefect was unprepared... being hit by a Disarming Charm from a first-year and having it take effect was too embarrassing for him!

"You're right."

Vinson Wright held the enemy's wand and continued softly, "I hope you also remember your words and don't casually point your wand at people in the future. I believe you'll remember this lesson..."

As his voice fell, Vinson raised his thumb and forcefully snapped the wand in half in front of everyone!

Crack!

The crisp sound of wood breaking rang out.

Destroying a wizard's wand was no different than declaring war!

"You brat!"

The remaining two Slytherin Prefects instantly flew into a rage!

These two young wizards, disregarding their identities and the age gap, rushed to draw their wands to cast magic on Vinson!

One was a sixth-year Prefect from Slytherin House, and the other was a seventh-year Prefect from Slytherin House. Both had already passed their wizarding professional exams, and they had even mastered the Unforgivable Curses!

However.

They were ultimately a step too slow.

"Incendio!"

Vinson Wright brandished his wand, and a flame ignited at the tip of his wand!

Flames surged again!

This seemingly weak flame quickly transformed into a huge arc of fire. The blast of hot air from this arc instantly swept the Slytherin Prefects away!

Before these arrogant Slytherin Prefects could even think of defending themselves, they were all knocked to the ground by Vinson Wright!

"Petrificus Totalus."

Vinson Wright delivered his final blow.

The three Slytherin Prefects were thus easily immobilized by the Petrifying Charm, lying stiffly on the ground, only able to watch what happened next.

What a disgrace...

To be forced into such a predicament by a brat!

"Don't casually point your wand at others..."

Vinson Wright held his wand, pointing it at the three downed Slytherin Prefects, and said politely yet firmly, "Thank you for your warning. As a reward, I'll give you a piece of advice: a wizard must never forget to keep a firm grip on their wand at all times."

"..."

The three Slytherin Prefects glared at him furiously.

Vinson Wright looked at the three young wizards who had lost their ability to resist and began channeling his magic into his wand.

"You said one thing correctly earlier: Hufflepuff doesn't have many House points, and every point is precious to us..."

"Don't worry. I know you might not understand now, but I believe you'll soon understand how I felt when your Slytherin Head of House deducted points from us."

"Now I will hang you on the walls of Hogwarts to commemorate the five points I lost in Potions Class this morning, so you can experience how I felt then..."
