"Welcome to the divination class," said Professor Trelawney, sitting in a winged armchair in front of the fireplace, "I am Professor Trelawney, and you may not have seen me before." I found that the hustle and bustle of school life was blurring my horizon too often. ”

No one said anything about such an unusual declaration.

Professor Trelawney meticulously rearranged the shawl and continued, "You have chosen the divination class, which is the most difficult of all magical arts. I must warn you at the outset: if you do not have the 'Vision', then there is very little I can teach you, and books can only take you so far in this regard......"

"Many witches and wizards, for all their genius at making violent crashing sounds, scents, and sudden invisibility, are unable to see through the fog."

Professor Trelawney continued, her large, glowing eyes turning from face to face.

"It's a talent that only a few people have. You, boy,"

She suddenly said to Sevrous, "Are your parents okay?" ”

Sevrous's face darkened suddenly, "I don't think they're doing well, given you asked me, Professor"

。

"If I were you, maybe I'd send a letter back to see it, my dear."

Professor Trelawney said unhappily as the light of the fire flickered on her long emerald earrings.

Professor Trelawney calmly continued: "This year we are learning all kinds of basic divination methods. The first semester was spent on interpreting the leaves. Next semester we should learn palmistry. By the way, my dear,"

She suddenly said to Gaspar, "Beware of red-haired men. ”

"During the summer semester,"

Professor Trelawney continued, "We're going to learn to look at crystal balls? , if we have learned the fire omens. Unfortunately, in February, a vicious flu would force classes to close. I would have lost my voice myself. Around Easter, one of us will leave you forever. ”

After she said this, there was a tense silence in the classroom, but Professor Trelawney seemed to feel no sense of it.

"I think, dear,"

She said to Lily, who sat closest to her, cowering in her chair in fright, "Can you hand me the biggest teapot?" ”

Lily looked relieved, stood up, and took a large teapot from the shelf and placed it on the table in front of Professor Trelawney.

"Thank you, dear. By the way, the thing you are afraid of will happen on Friday, October 16th. ”

Lily shuddered.

"Now, I want you all to divide into two groups. Take a teacup from the shelf, come to me, and I'll pour tea into the cup. Then sit down, drink tea, and drink until only the tea leaves are left in the cup. Shake the tea residue three times with your left hand, then flip the teacup over and buckle it onto the teacup holder; Wait until the last bit of tea is gone, then give your teacup to your partner to interpret. You can use pages 5 and 6 of this book to decipher the shape of tea pomace. I will walk among you, help you, and show you. Oh, and dear ......"

She grabbed the arm of one of the Hufflepuff boys and pulled him up, "After you broke the first teacup, can you pick one of the blue-patterned teacups?" I love that pink one. ”
