Chapter 495: Prophecy about the Chamber of Secrets

"Did you really mail order a toilet seat?"

Lee Jordan, who was eating grilled sausages, looked sideways at the package dropped by the owl, and looked up at Fred and George in disbelief, he had thought the two were just joking, but he actually mail-ordered a toilet seat to give to Harry as a gift for a sick visit.

"Of course it's true, when did you see us tell a lie. ”

Fred and George looked at each other, maliciously in the direction of the Slytherin table.

"You don't want to do it again!"

Lee Jordan looked at the Weasley twins, Malfoy was still a little in a trance because of yesterday's incident.

"No, no, we just want to impress him. The two of them showed a malicious smile in unison, looked at Albert and said, "Give me a few more colon cleansing pills, you have already used up the ones you gave last time." ”

"No, the last time I gave you was the last one. Albert closed the letter, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, sighed helplessly, and reminded: "If you do too much of that kind of thing, it is easy to be caught." ”

"Okay, that guy was lucky. George muttered.

"We're going to visit Harry later, are you going to go with us?" Fred asked, gesturing to the toilet seat, "By the way, I'll make up for the medical gifts." ”

"Well, let's go together, just drop by. Albert didn't refuse.

After breakfast, the four of them went to the school hospital together, and Madam Pomfrey only gave them five minutes to visit.

Harry slept heavily in the hospital bed, showing no signs of waking up.

The mountain of candy piled up on the table next to the hospital bed must have been gifts from Harry's friends and admirers.

"Heroes and saviors are so cheap. Albert couldn't help but sigh: "It's not easy for Potter. ”

With that, he flicked his wand and conjured a bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums out of thin air, replacing the carnations in the vase.

"Why do you say that? George asked, puzzled.

Albert laughed and said nothing.

"You always like to say something inexplicable. Fred began to unwrap the toilet seat, preparing to place it next to the pile of gifts.

"If one day, everybody says Potter is a liar, and the wizards of the entire British wizarding world think Potter is a liar, will you think he's a liar, or a savior?" Albert suddenly asked.

All three were a little confused, and they didn't know how to answer the question.

"Yes, not a liar. George said uncertainly.

"People will think he's a liar, not a savior. Albert laughed at himself, saying that he actually hated these things.

Just then, Madam Pomfrey walked in.

"You've been here for almost ten minutes, get me out. ”

As Madam Pomfrey was about to drive them away, her eyes fell on the toilet seat in Fred's hand, and she frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Weasley, are you going to send a toilet seat?"

"It's chocolate, it just looks like a toilet seat. ”

Fred lied, put the toilet seat on the table, and hurried out of the school hospital.

"Chocolate? I can't tell it's made of chocolate. Madam Pomfrey picked up the toilet seat and looked at the people who were fleeing away, "I don't understand what is going on in the minds of the students these days." ”

She wouldn't allow such a thing to be in the school hospital, and just as she was about to confiscate it, Dumbledore happened to walk in and happened to see Madam Pomfrey holding a toilet seat.

"They were no doubt just trying to have fun with Harry. ”

"It's not hygienic to put this thing here. Madam Pomfrey left with the toilet seat.

In the hallway outside the school hospital, Lee Jordan was asking Fred if the toilet seat was made of chocolate.

"How is that possible!" said Fred, angrily

"I dare say Madam Pomfrey will confiscate it. Albert was rather speechless and said, "Actually, you should find someone to customize a special toilet seat chocolate." ”

All three looked at Albert with strange eyes.

"Did I say something wrong?" Albert asked rhetorically.

"No, no, you're right. Fred put his arm around Albert's shoulders and said, "Perhaps, we can make some disgusting-looking gifts out of chocolate." Percy's birthday was in August, and we had plenty of time to prepare and give him an unexpected surprise. ”

"I suggest you go find someone and order one, there will always be wizards who are good at making magical food. Albert thought for a moment and said, "I think one or two Galleons will definitely be enough, and if the other party is not willing, we can order a few more and keep them for our dear professor." ”

"We understand!" the twins said in unison.

After separating from the three, Albert went to the divination classroom alone, and Professor Trelawney wrote a letter inviting Albert to her for tea, presumably about prophecy!

Actually, Albert was not mistaken, Professor Trelawney was indeed looking for him because of the prophecy.

The first thing Professor Trelawney said when he saw him was, "Do you really prophesy?"

"Why do you ask? ”

"In fact, some wizards with more sensitive brains, even if they can't really make predictions, can still speculate something through some clues. Professor Trelawney said.

"Do you think I'll prophesy?"

"I don't know, I can't see the outcome of your prophecy from your crystal ball. In this case, the results of the so-called divination prophecies are usually deceiving, but my intuition tells me that maybe you really have the power of prophecy. Professor Trelawney pointed to the mat across from him and said, "Sit down, we can talk, there are very few wizards who can actually prophesy. ”

Albert sat down across from Professor Trelawney, picked up the tea he had brewed, took a sip, and waited quietly for the other to continue.

"I heard that Professor Quirrell died, and as you prophesied, he left us forever, with Harry Potter at his side. ”

"Well, that seems to be the case. ”

"Originally, the prophecy of the unicorn's blood you made has also come true, right?"

"Yes, it happened. Albert's tone was still flat.

"It's enviable. Professor Trelawney whispered, "I know that a lot of people in the school think I'm a liar, do you think I'll prophesy?"

"Kassandra Trelawney is undoubtedly a true master of prophecy. Albert said.

"Unfortunately, I didn't inherit much of my great-great-grandmother's talent, and the Trelawneys no longer have true prophets. Professor Trelawney sighed softly, "Most wizards don't really want to believe in so-called prophecies unless they see the results of the prophecy in the crystal ball. ”

"Because no one will want to believe your nonsense until the true prophecy of calamity comes. Professor Trelawney continued, "And even if you could predict the calamity of the people, you would not be able to prevent it, and you could only watch it happen, which would not be a good thing for the prophet.

"You'll prophesy, right?" said Albert.

"It should ...... Yes. Actually, I can't be sure, I can only vaguely feel it. Professor Trelawney laughed at himself, "I once made a prophecy to Dumbledore, and although I don't remember the content of that prophecy anymore, I came to Hogwarts as a professor of divination shortly after that, probably after the fall of the mystery man, and there was no so-called divination class at that time. ”

"It seems that the prophecy has come true. Albert whispered.

"yes, if I hadn't proven my abilities to Dumbledore, how could he possibly let me teach at Hogwarts?" Professor Trelawney muttered, "But a lot of people just don't understand it on purpose. ”

"Well, I'll admit, Dumbledore really didn't have a good idea of divination at first. "He told me that Hogwarts was going to offer a divination class and wanted to invite me to be professor, but until then, Dumbledore wanted me to make a prophecy for him. ”

"I think that's what the headmaster came to me for, because he probably heard of my family and thought I had the same prophetic powers, so he came to me. Professor Trelawney said.

"This prophecy has something to do with the mysterious man?" Albert asked suddenly.

"I don't know. Professor Trelawney shook his head, "If you want to know what's going on, I'm afraid you'll have to go to Dumbledore, oh yes, Snape probably knows that he broke into the room and almost interrupted my prophecy." ”

It seems that it should be the prophecy of the Messiah. ”

"That's what I thought at the time. She said.

Albert had never doubted Professor Trelawney's IQ, and if he could be a liar and bluff others, none of them would be fools.

A truly skilled Muggle soothsayer will be very strong in mental suggestion, logical analysis, and improvisation, but before the real prophetic magic, it seems a little unacceptable.

"I can't master my prophetic power like you do, and I can't use it as I please, but I believe I have that power. Professor Trelawney looked at Albert earnestly, "Can you tell me how exactly you managed to control your prophetic powers?"

This was the purpose of Professor Trelawney's approach to Albert, and no one wanted to be a third-rate prophet.

"I'm afraid I can't give you too good advice, because I learned my crystal ball divination from books. Naturally, Albert would not tell Professor Trelawney that he had only mastered the power of prophecy by hanging up.

"It's like the book says," Albert said briefly about how he felt when he prophesied.

"Keep your eyes on the crystal ball and keep thinking about what you want to know in your head. If it succeeds, you will see some fragments, and all that remains is to tie those fragments together and unravel the meaning of the prophecy. ”

Professor Trelawney fell silent for a moment, and then said, "Can you make a prophecy now?"

"Oh, of course!"

Albert stared at the crystal ball that Professor Trelawney had placed on his desk, staring at the white mist above it, and began to predict what would happen next semester.

Then, he saw a line of words:

The Chamber of Secrets was opened.

Those who are enemies of the heirs, be wary.

"What does that mean?"

Professor Trelawney apparently saw what was happening on the crystal ball as well.

This is followed by a bronze faucet with a snake mark.

"It's definitely not going to be a good thing!" Albert said after a moment's thought, "This matter should have something to do with Slytherin." ”

"By the way, according to a passage in Hogwarts history, Slytherin left a secret room at Hogwarts that seemed to have something terrible in it. ”

Albert knew what those words meant, of course, but he still had to pretend to be his own guess.

“...... Only the heirs of Slytherin can open the Chamber of Secrets and let out the horrors inside, allowing it to purify the school and purge all those unworthy of learning magic. ”

"It seems that the next semester will not be very peaceful!" "I don't think anyone would have believed it before it happened, though!"

Albert looked at Professor Trelawney, who felt as if he had understood something.

"Since they think I'm a liar, I'm a liar, and I'm still a liar until I can really control my prophecy powers like yours. Professor Trelawney laughed at herself.

In fact, Albert was also surprised, he didn't expect that he would make such a prediction, and Professor Trelawney obviously saw the contents of the crystal ball, does it mean that his prophetic ability has become stronger than before.

Next semester, you should be careful.

Although Albert didn't think he would be so unlucky to be targeted, he should still be prepared.

Well, to put it bluntly, it's actually a fear of death.
