Chapter 195: Bad Omen
Since the last promotion of the Wizarding Card Club, more Hogwarts students have learned about the game of The Wizarding Card. Several students even expressed a desire to own cards for their own house, and were willing to join the Wizard Card Club to help Albert design new cards.
This is good for the promotion of wizard cards, and as long as wizard cards enter other colleges, they will definitely gradually expand the number of players. Albert believes that it will not be long before more and more students will enjoy this easy-to-learn, multi-faceted card game with the freedom to design a variety of strategies.
The biggest problem with the Wizard card at the moment is the number of players, as long as everyone is playing the Wizard card, others will definitely be curious to play with it, and Albert believes that the charm of the Wizard card itself can conquer everyone.
However, card design and manufacturing can still be a problem. While Fred, George and Lee Jordan were all doing what they could, Albert still had to do it himself most of the time.
Then again, there are a lot of things I need to worry about.
The design and manufacture of wizard cards, magic training and homework assignments for various courses, frequent correspondence with other wizards, weekly borrowing from the library, and the development of perfect protective bracelets continues, and there is no progress in the use of ancient magic scripts to cast spells, and the manuscript for Transfiguration Today, the Charms Club also has academic research, and occasionally finds time to practice the Patronus Charm, and looks for books related to Occlumency.
Filch was obsessed with the events of the previous semester, and as soon as school started, he stepped up the castle's night patrols, and Snape occasionally helped with patrols, so that Albert directly discouraged the idea of visiting the forbidden book area late at night.
He didn't want to be the unlucky guy who was caught on the next night outing, and by the way, Gryffindor, who had been deducted fifty points, was directly at the bottom.
If you insist on saying that there is anything good recently, it is probably Albert's small breakthrough in ancient magic scripts!
Professor Bathsida Barblin is indeed an expert in this field, and has a high degree of attainment in the field of ancient magic scripts.
Every Tuesday afternoon, Albert would go to Professor Babling's Ancient Scripts Improvement Class, and stay after class to exchange ancient texts with Professor Babling.
Not long ago, they had studied, analyzed, and discussed McDouger's "Basic Magical Texts" and "Advanced Magical Texts" together, and Albert's magical experience increased by leaps and bounds.
Now, Albert's magic experience is more than half of the second level.
Although Professor Babling is the Witch Professor at Hogwarts, she doesn't actually live in the castle herself, and only has five classes a week. There were only four students in the Ancient Magic Enhancement class, two Ravenclaws, one Slytherin, one Hufflepuff, and Albert.
Originally, the Ancient Demon Script was an elective course in the third grade, and he was able to pass the O·w· LS students are even less, and some students may not be willing to come to the advanced class even if they meet the conditions, which directly leads to only two or three kittens in the advanced class of this class.
Of course, the ancient magic script was not the worst, and Muggle studies simply did not have an improvement class.
As long as you can get a good O·w· LS Muggle Studies Certificate, you will be able to work as a Muggle liaison at the Ministry of Magic.
As for the Divination, Mathematical Divination, and Conservation of Magical Biology Enhancement Classes, the number of students is also pitifully small, and there are even fewer who can actually learn from the Ascendancy Classes and use them after graduation.
After graduating from school, it is not uncommon for majors to mismatch.
After the bell rang for the end of class, several people said hello to each other and left.
Albert did not leave, he would stay and continue the last exchange with Professor Babling.
"How do you feel?" Professor Babling asked gently, this is the benefit of excellent students, and the relationship between the two is actually quite good.
"It's okay, the content of the class is not difficult, and I have mastered most of it. Albert said, flipping through his notes.
"You should already have N· E· W· The level of T. Professor Barburing sighed softly. Although some people have the talent to learn ancient magic scripts, a talent like Albert's was the first to make Professor Barblin break his glasses.
"It's a little less difficult than I thought. Albert said.
“N· E· W· It's really not that hard. "The hard part is how to go further in this area after graduating from Hogwarts, we have only learned the tip of the iceberg, and there are only a handful of people who have studied it as deeply as Mr. McDoug." ”
Albert admits that he can't see this from the fact that few of the Advanced Magical Studies can fully understand it.
Footsteps sounded outside the corridor of the ancient classroom on the sixth floor, and then there was a knock on the door.
Isobel pushed open the door and walked in, she was also good at ancient magic scripts, and she had McDoug's connections, and Professor Babling allowed her to participate in this additional exchange outside of class.
Professor Barblin waved his wand, and a few people's favorite refreshments and cookies appeared on the table, which was not a serious class, but a good atmosphere.
Sitting on the comfortable sofa and enjoying afternoon tea, after two classes in a row, Professor Barblin was also a little tired.
The conversation began after the three of them drank their first cup of afternoon tea.
"The subject we are studying today is the divination of rune (magic stone). ”
"I remember, there seems to be a divination class in the third grade, and it seems to teach how to use runi for divination?" Albert looked up at Isobel and asked, "Do you have a divination class?"
However, after Albert saw the change in the expression on the other party's face, he had already guessed the answer, and it was clear that the Ravenclaw genius was very similar to Professor McGonagall, and thought that the selection of the divination class was purely in vain.
"I don't have that talent. Isobel took a sip from the teacup, glanced at Albert and said lightly: "Maybe, you will have." ”
"Sybil is good at this, and I invited her over. Professor Barblin saw that the two of them did not seem to be very interested in rune divination, so he spoke, "Rune stone divination is an ancient English divination, it is said to be very accurate, but there are not many wizards who really know how to interpret rune stone divination, and fortunately Sybil has some research in this area." ”
Albert couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, and after a simple wording, he said, "I heard...... Divination requires talent, and only a very small percentage of people possess that talent. ”
As far as he knew, most of the students would choose the divination class, purely to mess around, and they wondered if they could be able to do it in O·w· LS doesn't care if he gets good grades.
After graduation, there are almost zero shamans who can engage in divination. After all, a soothsayer with unpredictable abilities is no different from a liar, and no one would welcome such a liar.
Sybil Trelawney does have the ability to predict the future, but her ability is uncontrollable, and she is unable to use a crystal ball to perform prophetic divination like other soothsayers, and to see certain prophecy fragments directly.
"Sybil should have that ability. Professor Barblin wasn't sure, she knew that her friend was prophetic, after all, the great-great-granddaughter of the famous soothsayer Kassandra Trelawney, and that prophecy was often passed down through blood.
While the three of them were chatting around the ancient magic scripts, runes and runes, there was another knock on the door of the ancient magic scripts classroom, and the person the three of them had just talked about appeared outside the door.
It was Albert's first close encounter with Sybil Trelawney.
It was a very thin woman, wearing a pair of big glasses, and a bunch of chains and beads around her neck, and she looked a little crazy, maybe she just didn't want people to find out what she was.
"Oh, Bathsida, I hope I'm not late. Trelawney poked her head into the classroom, her eyes falling on Albert and Isobel.
"I told you about it. Professor Barblin smiled and invited Professor Trelawney into the classroom, and the relationship between the two was indeed good, "We are studying runite divination, and I think you will definitely be able to help a lot in this regard, after all, you are an expert in this area." ”
"Oh, runi stone divination, it's an ancient science, and there are very few wizards who are really good at this kind of divination nowadays. Trelawney walked in, sat down next to Professor Barblin, and pulled a delicate bag out of her pocket," ...... Now, I will only briefly mention in my divination class that predicting the future from tea grounds and crystal balls is easier for most students, at least they can find the answer in the books. Of course, students who don't have the talent of "Tianmu" can only do this in this subject. ”
Professor Trelawney is not wrong in what she said, divination requires talent, and if you don't have talent and can't make predictions, you will only be treated as a liar and will not receive any respect.
Trelawney opened the delicate bag and poured out the runi stone inside, she reached out and stroked the symbol on it, and said "thank you" to Professor Barburing, who brought the black tea to her, and continued: "The symbol on each rune stone tells the story and meaning of the ancient symbols...... It can also be used to seek desired results. ”
Albert bit down on a biscuit, listened quietly to Trelawney's chatter, and smiled at Isobel, who was a frequent drinker of black tea, who seemed a little agitated, and she clearly didn't believe Trelawney's nonsense.
"Hold the bag containing the runi stone in the palm of your hand, meditate on your own questions, and meditate. Trelawney chattered as she put the rune back into the bag, "Remember, stay ethereal, follow your instincts to feel the force of nature, and take a rune from the bag and place it in the palm of your hand. ”
Albert and Isobel looked at each other, and both could see twitches at the corners of their mouths, and neither said anything.
"Why don't you test it, which of you comes first. Professor Barburing said.
"Ladies first!" Albert gestured to Isobel.
"No, you first. Isobel doesn't really believe in this kind of prophecy.
"Good!" Albert took the bag of runids, meditated on the question in his mind, and then meditated, keeping his thoughts as ethereal as possible.
He reached out and took the runi from the bag and placed it in the palm of his hand.
"What's your problem?" asked Trelawney.
"Fortune for the future. Albert said without thinking.
"I think you're very talented in divination. Trelawney walked over to Albert and said suddenly.
"Thank you. Albert responded politely.
"It's the positive Fehu. Trelawney glanced at the runite on Albert's palm, and her expression was very strange, "Feihu itself represents wealth, symbolizes material gains, which means that your financial luck is good, it represents some form of success, as long as you hold what you have in your hands, you can achieve success, and you can overcome the difficulties encountered during the period." ”
"My financial fortune has always been good. Albert said uncertainly. Place the rune back into the bag and hand the bag to Isobel.
"I wonder if I'm going to be in trouble in the near future?" said Isobel lightly, and then, pulling out a rune from the bag.
"EICHWAZ REVERSE," TRELAWNEY GLANCED AT THE RUNITE IN ISOBEL'S HAND, "THIS IS A CLEAR WARNING, WARNING YOU TO BE CAREFUL...... This does not bode well. ”
