Dumbledore considered things more comprehensively.

Because Dumbledore knew Vinson Wright's past and understood Vinson Wright's personality, he naturally couldn't give up such an excellent student.

What's more...

The Wizarding World had new troubles.

What they needed to face now was not only the threat of Voldemort's resurrection but also Peter Pettigrew, the lurking mastermind.

Vinson Wright was a student who could draw the Gryffindor Sword, and he could even defeat three senior Slytherin Prefects alone at this age!

Judging by the power of the spells Vinson Wright used, it was almost the combat power an Auror Wizard possessed!

Even though Dumbledore had heard of Vinson Wright's diligent study habits, he couldn't ignore the powerful magical talent he possessed!

Coupled with the upbringing and education by a Wizard of Albus Dumbledore's caliber, it was no wonder that young fellow was always so proud and his conduct hadn't changed from his domineering ways in Muggle primary school!

This was also understandable.

Moreover, such a student who had kindness in his heart but acted a bit recklessly was far more reassuring to old Dumbledore than someone like Peter Pettigrew, who looked timid but stirred up trouble from behind the scenes.

To be honest.

Dumbledore actually hoped less than Professor Sprout that Vinson would be expelled, and he was even starting to find ways to prevent such a situation from happening.

Dumbledore saw off Professor Sprout, who was now reassured, and began to seriously consider how to make Vinson a little more well-behaved, at least to let Vinson Wright know what kind of trouble could lead to his expulsion.

Of course.

Dumbledore did not forget to remind Snape.

Meanwhile.

Hogwarts Great Hall.

Students of every year dined here.

Most of the Hufflepuff students wanted to sit near Vinson Wright, occasionally glancing at their little badger as if afraid he would be expelled from school.

"I'm going to find my aunt!"

Erwin Bones felt the oppressive atmosphere and couldn't help but put down his cutlery, turning to leave for the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor's office!

Because his aunt was not only this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, but also a permanent mage in the Ministry of Magic's highest council, the Wizengamot. Even Dumbledore and the Minister of Magic treated his aunt with great respect!

"Come back!"

Vinson Wright grabbed his clothes and pushed him back towards the seat: "Finish your meal honestly first, I know what I'm doing."

Vinson Wright knew very well.

Dumbledore would not expel him.

Even Professor Snape, who felt disgraced, would definitely be persuaded by Dumbledore, because their perspective was not limited to the school like students.

Coincidentally.

Vinson's perspective was the same.

Expulsion...

There was no need to worry about it at all.

In fact, there was indeed no need to worry.

Tonks, the big sister of Hufflepuff, soon brought back good news.

Professor Sprout had Tonks tell the Hufflepuff students not to worry about their little badger being expelled.

As the Head of Hufflepuff, Professor Sprout never hid her favoritism towards her students, and she even personally selected a well-grown Flower Diamond grass for Tonks to give to Vinson as praise for their little badger.

Before Tonks could finish relaying Professor Sprout's words, the entire Great Hall was already echoing with the laughter of Hufflepuff students!

This lunch was unprecedentedly cheerful.

Vinson Wright listened to the laughter around him and looked at the small flowerpot in Tonks's arms. The herb in the pot was blooming with a cluster of bright orange flowers.

Although everything was within his expectations, feeling the classmates present happily celebrating for him now made Vinson unexpectedly a little pleased.

"Don't touch this herb with your hands."

Tonks placed a small flowerpot next to Vinson and said with a playful smile: "Professor Sprout specifically told me, just keep it in your dormitory, and it will help you sleep well at night."

"Okay, I understand."

Vinson nodded to indicate he understood. His hand slowly touched the flowerpot, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face unconsciously: "I'll go back to the dormitory first, and by the way, wake Cedric up for lunch, so he won't be late this afternoon."

Today.

Vinson felt he had gained a lot.

Not only from the mission rewards given by the system, but more so from the atmosphere of Hufflepuff, which gave Vinson a happy and relaxed mood today.

Perhaps...

It was also because he had beaten someone up.

[Combat Mission: Defeat a first-year student from Slytherin (1/1), Reward: 10 Magic Power Value.]

[Combat Mission: Defeat a fifth-year Slytherin student (1/1), Reward: 50 Magic Power Value.] [Combat Mission: Defeat a sixth-year Slytherin student (1/1), Reward: 60 Magic Power Value.] [Combat Mission: Defeat a seventh-year Slytherin student (1/1), Reward: 70 Magic Power Value.] [Combat Mission: Defeat a first-year Gryffindor student (1/1), Reward: 10 Health Value.]

The rewards for these simple combat missions were barely acceptable.

Most importantly, the advantage of these missions was their sheer quantity. They covered students from every house and every year, allowing Vinson to significantly improve his internal Magic Power Value and Health Value.

There was no need to rush these missions.

Even if all of them were completed, it would only count as accumulation. He still had a long school life ahead of him, and there would be plenty of opportunities to complete these simple tasks.

The only regret...

Perhaps it was that there were too few of these missions.

Vinson actually felt the system could issue more of them. Whether it was fighting one student or ten students, it made little difference to him.

Clearly.

Vinson Wright was in a very good mood.

However, Cedric, who had just woken up, felt uneasy.

Stories about him were circulating throughout Hogwarts.

It was because he had been accidentally injured by magic during a conflict between first-year students from Gryffindor and Slytherin, which directly led to his friend Vinson beating up the first-year students from both houses...

Even the three Prefects from Slytherin who came to resolve the issue were dealt with by Vinson Wright and hung on the walls of Hogwarts...

Good heavens!

This was much bigger than the incident during the Sorting Ceremony!

Even Cedric felt too embarrassed to ask Vinson why he had forced him to go back and rest at the time.

Truly...

Cedric's mood was a bit complicated.

While Vinson's attitude towards friendship moved Cedric, it also caused the kind Hufflepuff boy to worry quite a bit.

Because...

Vinson had gotten into trouble again for his friends!

Of course.

This wasn't entirely a bad thing.

His Hufflepuff classmates had once again recognized the importance Vinson placed on friendship. Everyone envied Cedric a little because he had made a friend like Vinson before even starting school.

Who wouldn't like to have a friend like Vinson Wright?
