Chapter 315: The Four Headmasters of Hogwarts

Nick Lemay smelled a strong sherry from the witch. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Sybil Trelawney obviously did not expect the principal to suddenly see her at this time, she was wearing green pajamas with small flowers printed on them, and she did not bring her usual heavy glasses.

"Oh, Albus, the elf said you had something urgent to see me?" she said to Nick Lemay.

"Go and get her eyes. The headmaster said to the elves. Without glasses, Sybil Trelawney could only see the silhouette of the wizard.

"I'm sorry, I thought he was you, Headmaster. Hearing a familiar voice from behind him, Professor Sybil Trelawney hurriedly turned around and explained.

"It's okay, Sybil, put on your glasses, I need your help me predicting something. Principal Albus Dundedo said calmly.

Sybil Trelawney took his glasses from the elf's hand, and did not immediately put them on, but said with some seriousness: "Lord Headmaster, you should know that prophecy is like letting the myopic eye recognize people without glasses, and the gifted prophet is just a little less myopic and sees the outline of the future more clearly, but to describe any details is an extravagant hope. ”

Dumbledore had obviously seen the Prophecy Professor who was not in a state of madness, and he said with the same seriousness: "Believe me, Sybil, I can feel that your prophecy tonight will affect the future of the entire wizarding world. ”

As a direct descendant of a god-cursed prophet, Sybil Trelawney has made some extremely important predictions, but no one can tell whether these prophecies are a description of the future or a curse on a sorcerer.

Just as Sybil Trelawney prophesied that Neville Longbottom would break the vase, whether the prophecy first determined the future, or whether the future revealed the prophecy in reverse. The ancient gods said, "Let the heavens and the earth be separated, and then the heavens and the earth were separated," and they said, "Let there be light," and light was born out of darkness.

Is the prophecy itself really a feedback to the future, or is it the opposite, the cause of the terrible outcome in the future? Could the so-called prophecy be a terrible curse that, once recited, will inevitably come true?

Sybil Trelawney uses many methods to predict the future, glass balls, tea grounds, and sooth cards, but when she does make powerful predictions, she doesn't need anything. Divination is a form of magic, a powerful magic that only exists in wizards.

Hearing Albus Dumbledore say this, Sybil Trelawney's hangover seemed to sober up a bit, she put on thick glasses, and when she saw Nick Lemay, her expression did not change except for some confusion.

"Witch, say hello to your grandmother for me. Nick Lemay said lightly.

"I'm afraid not, she's getting older, and now she can't see, hear, or speak, and to be honest, I haven't seen her for a long time. Sybil Trelawney shrugged her shoulders and whispered.

"What a pity at that moment, as the only ancient god sacrifice in our world, your grandmother's knowledge is an invaluable asset. ”

Sybil Trelawney sneered, as if remembering something, she turned to Albus Dumbledore, "So, what do you need me to do, Lord Headmaster? ”

Dumbledore tapped his wand on the headmaster's desk again, and soon two elves appeared, one of them carrying a tray with a porcelain teapot and teacups, and the other with some cookies and berries in the tray.

As a soothsayer, Sybil Trelawney chose the first of three cups of tea, Nick Lemay the second, and Principal Albus Dumbledore the last.

"I want you to help me divinate a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, who has not yet graduated, and who is still living in this school, and I wonder if his future will cause harm to this school. The principal took a sip of tea and said slowly.

Professor Sybil Trelawney did not answer immediately, the tea in her hand was a little cloudy, and there was a strong contrast between the brown liquid and the white porcelain. Nick Lemay stared intently at Professor Sybil Trelawney, hoping for the revelation he was expecting.

After ten minutes, Sybil Trelawney sighed, "No, Headmaster, I can't see anything, it seems that the power of the stars is not with me today, and I have not sensed any information about the future. ”

Nick was very disappointed, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he sneered in his heart. Albus Dumbledore smiled, "Sybil, I remember you saying that if great things happen in the future, this world will always feel it. Since you can't sense anything, doesn't it mean that the future is still very flat? ”

"No, Headmaster. Since I have mastered the power of prophecy, the darkness I can sense has become even stronger. It is not impossible to cut off the relationship between the future and the present. It was dark before my eyes, and I couldn't see any glimmer of light, but what was going to happen was going to happen. As those centaurs have always said: fate, when you think you are fighting it, you are actually going on step by step according to its arrangement. ”

Professor Sybil Trelawney's explanation puzzled Albus Dundedon as he paced back and forth in the rector's room, trying to find the right question. Ask Andrew Lee directly, I'm afraid it won't work, maybe it's time to change the question.

"Sybil Trelawney, I wonder who Hermione Granger will marry in the future?" asked Albus Dumbledore suddenly.

This time, Professor Sybil Trelawney did not ask the Rector to wait, and almost immediately replied, "I never married." But she has a pair of children, and they are very cute. ”

After a slight pause, the headmaster asked again, "What about Cho Chang and who will she marry in the future?"

Professor Sybil Trelawney was distracted for a while, as if she had encountered something difficult to solve, and only after more than ten minutes did she say: "I can only see that she has returned to the Far East, and I can't see what is behind at all, and the Far East has a strong magnetic field, and I can't see what is behind." ”

"Cho Chang has returned to the Far East!" Albus Dumbledore's body was a little stiff, he didn't really care about the future marriage of these children, he wanted to use these main life threads to locate Andrew Lee's trajectory.

Having some idea of Albus Dumbledore's approach, Nick Lemay asked, "What about Hallie Black? What will happen to her?"

Sybil Trelawney immediately replied: "Her future has been blocked by a veil through which I think no soothsayer will see her future." ”

"The Veil, where did the Veil come from?" asked Nick.

"I don't know. But judging by the complexity and power of the magic, I think it's from the future. Halle Black cut her off from her past in the future and forcibly stopped us. Sybil Trelawney said helplessly.

"How could she, how could she do it?!" Nick asked incredulously.

"Of course it's possible, as far as I know, there are at least a dozen ways to make your fate line complicated and unsipping your past or future. Killing, splitting, war, all cause us to see nothing about her. After a little explanation, Sybil Trelawney looked at the Headmaster, and although she knew that Nick Lemay was a famous wizard, she had no affection for him.

Albus Dumbledore turned his back to the two of them, and he looked down at the lines on his desk, as if there was something in them. "Sybil Trelawney, I'm afraid I'm going to ask you another question before I make the next move. Albus Dumbledore whispered.

Professor Sybil Trelawney was slightly stunned, but she suddenly understood, and said, "Lord Headmaster, please forgive me for my neutral attitude, the soothsayer must not have any stance or inclination, otherwise it will greatly interfere with my talent and magic. My answer to your invitation is probably still no. ”

"The Order of the Phoenix is still neutral, Sybil, and I can promise you that you only need to meet the conditions of secrecy before you can join. Albus Dumbledore asked.

"Of course I know the position of the Order of the Phoenix, which may be fair and neutral in some respects, but in others it is as dazzling as the sun. Staying on such a side of light for a long time will make me lose my sense of darkness. Sybil refused again.

Dumbledore didn't invite any more, thought for a moment and finally asked, "Can you see the future of Bellatrix Lestrange, or where is she now?"

Sybil Trelawney drank the tea and looked at the dregs at the bottom of the teaglass, "Bellatrix Lestrange has escaped this catastrophe, but she will still die in her own sins, and as for her location, I can tell you, Headmaster..."

The three of them talked for a while, and Albus Dumbledore asked a few more questions from other angles, and Professor Sybil Trelawney made a prediction very hard, and only after Sybil Trelawney's magic was exhausted did Dumbledore stop asking. Nick Lemay listened to these things with interest, but he still couldn't put the names of these wizards together, let alone explain the complicated relationships.

"Sybil, you look tired, stop here today. I'll come back to you if there's anything you need. Now go back and rest. Albus Dumbledore said.

"Headmaster, whether any prophecy can be fulfilled depends not on the prophet, nor on the wizard, but on the arrangement of fate. So please be more cautious, as many prophecies are the same as temple vows, and they don't work when they are spoken. After saying this, Sybil Trelawney regained her drunken appearance and left in a daze.

"It seems that this matter will not be solved for a while, so I will leave first. Albus, I have done my duty to tell you exactly what you want to know. I'm not a double agent like Severus Snape who was willing to be used by you. You'll have to take care of the rest. With that, Nick Lemay also left.

With only Albus Dumbledore left in the office, he said to Phoenix, "Go and gather the four deans, I have important matters to discuss with them. Fawkes chirped happily and disappeared into the void. Ten minutes later, the four Deans: Professor Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape, Philius Flitvier, and Professor Pomona Sprout, all appeared in the Rector's office.

Albus Dumbledore said to Flitwick, "Philius, have you discovered anything about Andrew Lee during this time?"

Flitwick was stunned, Phoenix personally came to inform him, this is something that has not been seen for a long time, I thought that something super big had happened at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but I didn't expect to ask such a question. Flitvier thought about it for a while, and already had a guess, and he asked, "What happened, could it be that something happened to Andrew?"

The other three professors all looked at Professor Flitwick, a little strangely, and Professor Sprout walked up to Professor Flitwick and tapped Flitwick's back with her short, strong fingers, "Don't worry, Filius. Didn't you always think that Andrew was the best, he wouldn't have an accident. ”

Professor Flitwick looked up at Professor Sprout behind him and smiled nervously. Flitwick is partly of elven blood, and was discriminated against when he was younger, but Sprout has always treated him as an equal, and the relationship between the two has lasted for decades.

Dumbledore thought about the agreement between him and Gellert Grindelwald, and he wasn't going to tell anyone about it yet. Of the four professors, Professor Minerva McGonagall is undoubtedly the most principled and most in line with the requirements of a qualified future headmaster successor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, so McGonagall is a little less adaptable. Severus Snape is a seed of infatuation, although he is very talented, but the more he is infatuated with one person, the more ruthless he is to others, and I am afraid it is difficult to take any responsibility.

Flitwick and Sprout complement each other and have a good impression of each other, but one is more hesitant and the other is kind and careless, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to lead Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to maintain a leading position in the future great changes in the wizarding world.

Fortunately, Albus Deng did not have to think about his successor at this time, and his most important goal was to stabilize the current situation in Wizarding Britain. In such a situation, the internal affairs of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry must find a suitable solution. He was going to put the four deans in charge of each other, so that he could focus all his attention on the outside.
