Chapter 49: The Law of Halloween

October

An eerie East Greenland cold snap suddenly hits and permeates Hogwarts Castle.

Because of the cold snap, a sudden flu broke out among the students and professors, leaving Madam Pomfrey scrambling.

Not only Professor Snape, but even William was dragged by her to be a strong man to help make potions.

They needed to brew a pick-me-up potion, a potion that had an immediate effect, but those who drank it would have smoke in their ears for hours on end.

The warm-up badge made by William suddenly became a hot seller.

He sold a wave of inventory made last year and made a lot of money.

Lockhart repeatedly jumped at the school hospital, shouting for a few "home remedies" for colds, and telling everyone not to worry.

He claimed: "No one knows this cold better than me! ”

But because of his continued contact with the patient, he was finally infected...... Cold,

And it's serious.

This made Madam Pomfrey particularly happy, and she sent Professor Snape a "special" pick-me-up.

In Professor Snape's words, "With a little bit of my special essence, it can moisturize Lockhart's body and make him strong again." ”

It's a pity...... After Professor Lockhart drank it, the cold was cured, but his stomach began to ache, and he didn't want to open his mouth to speak.

Occasionally, it is accompanied by undesirable symptoms such as nausea, retching, and acid craving.

Professor Snape boiled him another dose of milky potion, and Lockhart said he wouldn't drink anything.

For the third-year wizard, Trelawney's divination class suddenly became a huge hit.

Everybody loves divination.

Who asked her to accurately predict the mass cold in October in the first class?

See what a great prophet is, what a master soothsayer is! (Tactical Fallback)

William made a little surprise to the twins: Professor Trelawney, in his first class in the fourth year, had also predicted the arrival of a cold.

But time is ...... November!

She also predicted January, March and May next year in other grades.

Historically, these times have been flu seasons.

With such a high-intensity prediction, how can you happen to hit once and successfully fool a grade, right?

No wonder she's called a liar.

Professor Trelawney was born to eat this bowl of rice!

Of course, according to Professor Trelawney's prediction in the first lesson of the third grade, her voice was rightfully lost.

But this did not affect his status in the minds of the third-year wizard at all, but became taller and taller.

As for whether he pretended to lose his voice, William didn't dare to say, and he didn't dare to ask.

However, even when she was sick and lying on her bed, Trelawney shouted with her dumb vocal cords: Paid leave!

So, Professor McGonagall gave her a red ...... Ahem, a bottle of potions.

The kind with the essence of Professor Snape.

With Lockhart in front of her, Professor Trelawney didn't even drink, and her throat miraculously returned to normal.

It's a medical miracle!

So, Professor Snape is the eternal dropper!

Specializing in all kinds of Hogwarts disobedience!

With the effects of the cold snap, the weather was also particularly bad.

Hogwarts seems to have entered the rainy season all of a sudden.

The rain crackled like bullets on the windows of the castle and did not stop for days.

The Black Lagoon was rising, the flower beds were filled with mud, and the pumpkins that Hagrid planted were swollen to the size of a flower shed.

He was going to hang it in the auditorium on Halloween.

Soon, Halloween arrived.

Hogwarts is particularly gorgeously decorated, and the Great Hall has been decorated with live bats like a festival.

Hagrid's huge pumpkin was also carved into a lantern large enough for three people to sit in.

Pumpkin lanterns are hung on the auditorium, like a box, and the festive atmosphere is strong!

Anne told William that Dumbledore had booked a Red Skull dance troupe that would perform a striptease in the evenings to cheer everyone up.

A bunch of skeletons...... What's so nice about all ribs, let alone striptease, it's pole dancing, and you can dance flowers?

William was also speechless, Dumbledore liked all the bells and whistles, and didn't know what the majority of students were saying.

In the afternoon, William skipped Professor Trelawney's divination class and went to Professor Setima Victor's arithmetic divination class.

Arithmetic divination refers to the use of numbers to explain a person's character and destiny, or to predict the future.

Another name for it is "the science of mathematics".

Divination taught by Professor Trelawney is based on the interpretation of vague images such as crystal balls, tea leaves, or palmistry, or from random graphics or scribbling words.

Arithmetic divination, on the other hand, is based on a set of rules and rigorous mathematical calculations.

The basic proposition of arithmetic divination is that the world is built on the power of numbers.

After explaining some of the lessons a little, seeing that everyone was interested and absent-minded, Professor Victor put away "Number Divination and Graphics" and began to teach everyone how to calculate luck.

Professor Victor could definitely be called a Hogwarts flower, wearing a knee-high cream-colored Irish sweater that just above her black leather boots.

She had thick, wine-colored hair that fell naturally over her shoulders and a face that resembled that of Lily Collins.

William understood why everyone loved Professor Victor's divination lessons.

With such a beautiful professor, can the grades be bad?

Professor Victor's wand tapped against the wall, creating a large blackboard with a chart of numbers.

"Don't forget the 3 N's I teach – 'event numbers', 'quantified numbers', and 'outcome numbers'."

Professor Victor's crisp female voice made her even more attractive, and many students described her voice as chocolate for the ears to enjoy.

William followed the rules and chose three things he liked and hated, and then turned them into numbers.

Professor Victor's arithmetic divination is to convert the letters into ancient Latin letters in the order of ABC, and then correspond to the numbers 1 to 9 for divination.

William quickly figured out his number was...... 777。

"Ahh Professor Victor frowned and took William's note.

Everyone stared at William, as if he was going to die in the next second.

"As we all know, 7 is a magic number." Professor Victor said.

This is true, in William's previous life, 7 was a magic number, and in arithmetic divination, 7 is also magical.

Brigitte Winlock, a thirteenth-century arithmetic soothsayer who was the first to discover the magical properties of the number 7, wrote an article on this view.

Professor Victor analyzed:

"The first 7 represents danger approaching; The second 7 is a quantitative number...... It could be seven, it could be seven; The last 7 represents failure! ”

William's brow furrowed.

Professor Trelawney told him in the first class that what he feared would happen before Christmas.

Professor Victor also told him that the danger was getting closer.

Is there a second 7, does it refer to the danger to occur seven times, or does it refer to the seven enemies?

The final failure...... Is it William's failure, or is it a dangerous failure?

Really...... Divination is all ambiguous!

William felt that it was most reliable for him to prepare some elixir.

After all, the law of Halloween must have an accident, and the curse that Defense Against the Dark Arts can't teach for more than a year are all weapons of the law of cause and effect!

The kind that can't be avoided.

William...... I'm a little panicked.
