"I don't understand, I really don't understand, what is this!"

Lee Jordan, who had just left the divination classroom, looked very anxious.

This divination lesson didn't teach you anything useful. Most of the time, Professor Trelawney asked them to decipher the shape of tea pomace on pages 5 and 6 of the book "Cutting Through the Fog and Looking into the Future".

Later, Fred's cup actually led Professor Trelawney to decipher the worst omen of all—a sign of death!

This made Lee Jordan uncomfortable, because he was responsible for interpreting Fred's cup.

"You can't take it seriously, do you?" said Albert, who could feel the oppressive atmosphere around him.

Several of the roommates stopped and looked at Albert.

"As far as I know, Professor Sybil Trelawney has predicted the death of a student every year since he came to this school. Albert calmly recounts the fact that "anticipating the signs of death is her favorite way of welcoming new classes." ”

"Every year?" Fred couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, every year. Albert patted Fred on the shoulder and said, "So far, none of them have died." ”

"Looks like you don't have to die. George grinned and put his arm around his brother's shoulder.

"yes, that's great. Fred couldn't help but sigh, "To be honest, I was also taken aback by Professor Trelawney's prophecy. ”

"But...... Prophecy ...... "Lee Jordan is still struggling with this.

"The prophecy is, of course, false, and I suspect Professor Trelawney can't prophesy at all. At least, she can't predict the future as directly as those soothsayers, otherwise she would have shown us her prophetic abilities in class, and there is nothing more convincing than that. ”

"And what about your prophecy?" asked Lee Jordan, still unrelenting.

"Of course it's a deceptive trick. Albert noticed a bunch of people eavesdropping next to him, pouted and said, "Since Harry Potter came to Hogwarts and Headmaster Dumbledore secretly created a forbidden area in the castle, I always felt that something bad might happen. ”

"You guy, I thought ......" Lee Jordan looked at Albert dumbfounded, he knew he had been tricked again.

"We've been together for two years, and you still don't know Albert!" said George, with a look on his face that you were still one of us.

"Albert still needs a prophecy?" Fred chuckled, "he doesn't need it, if he really wants to prophesy, just say it, and the guarantee is more accurate than the prophecy." ”

The twins looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

Yes, in the eyes of the Weasley brothers, Albert's mouth was more accurate than predicted.

As for Professor Trelawney's death prophecy, it was her way of welcoming the new class, and if you ask someone about it, you will know if it's true or not.

As for whether Albert would have predicted, Fred and George were more inclined to this guy would be.

No way, his mouth has already said a lot of things. Another thing Albert didn't like to let too many people know, such as whether he would be able to do divination. Perhaps, Albert didn't mind telling them these things in private, but asking them in public was deliberately provoking.

Moreover, this guy likes to tell some truths, some lies, and some half-truths, so that people can't figure out which ones are true and which ones are false.

Fred and George never asked more secret things in front of everyone, and even when they did, it was purely a joke.

If you want to know anything, just go back to the dormitory at night and ask privately.

Lee Jordan's stiff head couldn't turn around for a while.

Fred and George both threw Lee Jordan a look to shut him up, and then diverted the subject.

"There's a transfiguration class next, and there's a magical creature class and potions class in the afternoon, and it's hard to feel like it's full these days. ”

"Your mathematical divination is just gone. George asked with a frown as they passed through the empty hallway.

"No, I've already asked the doppelganger to go to class, okay, don't ask me how I did it, it needs to be kept secret. Albert took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and when he walked into the boys' bathroom next to him, he said, "Wait for me in a moment." ”

Albert nudged the door of the cubicle, found that the door of the cubicle was locked, and gently buckled it three times, and the door of the cubicle also came out three times, Albert turned around and walked into the cubicle next to him, and when he just closed the door, the originally locked door opened, and Albert, who had a tired face, walked out of it.

As for the compartment where the door had just been locked, Albert was pulling the time-turner from his leather bag, strapping it around his neck, and turning the time-turner once.

Albert felt like time was rapidly receding, something seemed to be pounding in his ears, and the next moment, he felt his feet on solid ground, and everything was focused again.

Putting away the time turner, taking out his pocket watch from his pocket and looking at the time, Albert quickly walked out of the boys' bathroom, ready to go to the math divination class.

"Having said that, it seems that the place where arithmetic divination is taught is in classroom 7A on the eighth floor. Albert muttered to himself, "Well, it's enough to have to run a long distance." ”

The "numerology" of arithmetic divination is a branch of arithmetic that refers to the mystical relationship between many events and those that occur at the same time.

Wake Field's book "Numeric Divination and Graphics" Albert had already read it during the summer vacation, and it was not too friendly to most wizards who had not really studied mathematics.

It reminded him of a book called "The Kabbalah Number Code", which was a Jewish secret divination, what people called "the secret science of numbers."

In Albert's view, the realm of arithmetic in the wizarding world was a mixture of probability calculations and a bunch of weird things.

If that's the case, it might explain why spellbreakers need to be proficient in this thing.

This will allow them to assess the success rate of the spell without actually performing it, which means they can minimize the risk of the spell failing.

When Albert appeared on the fourth floor of the castle through a shortcut, and was just about to go to the eighth floor through other secret passages, he happened to see two unlucky people talking back to Filch, Ron Weasley of the red-haired Weasleys, and one was ...... The famous Harry Potter.

"Red-haired Weasley, hmph, don't think I don't know what you're up to, students are not allowed to go to the restricted area corridor on the fourth floor. ”

As soon as Albert got closer, he heard Filch's angry voice.

"Lost, I don't believe you can be so coincidental and prepare to get lost in the forbidden area on the fourth floor. ”

Soon, Albert saw a man walking towards him, it was Professor Quirrell, who was supposed to be going over to check the protection level, and happened to help the two unlucky people who got lost.

"If I see you getting lost and entering the restricted area again. Filch looked at the two who had escaped rather annoyed and threatened, "Just lock them up, maybe a day in the dungeon, it will help clear your minds." ”

As Harry and Ron passed around the corner, they found Albert standing around the corner, looking at them with a smirk.

"Weasley, are you going to go to the school's restricted area on the first day of school?" Albert whispered as he looked at Ron.

"No, we're just lost. Ron retorted.

"We're just looking for a Charms classroom. Harry muttered.

"Then let's go, walk all the way from here, and you'll be there soon after passing through the armor corridor. Albert whispered, "If you get lost, it's better to find someone to ask for directions than to wander around the school yourself, that's what brainless people do, and trust me, many people will be willing to help you lead the way, Potter, if you ask." ”

Harry and Ron trotted in the direction Albert was pointing.

"Do you know him?" asked Harry in a whisper.

"Fred and George invited him to my house this summer, and my dad and mom loved him. Ron said dryly, "It's said to be a great genius." ”

But why did he say that? Harry couldn't help but ask.

"Fred and George were naughty at school, and he probably thought I would be like both. Speaking of this, Ron was a little depressed, he suddenly knew why Filch was targeting them, eighty percent related to Fred and George.

Albert didn't know what Harry and Ron were talking about, and he finally made a shortcut to the arithmetic and divination classroom before class.

The teacher of this class is Professor Victor, who explains to them in class what arithmetic divination is.

...... Refers to a hypothetical form of divination based on assigning numerical values to a word or phrase. Although this may seem contradictory at first glance, arithmetic employs a more rigorous and mathematical approach to predicting the future.

Well, that's actually the exact phrase in "Digital Divination and Graphics".

“...... Mathematical divination requires rigorous logic. Professor Victor said to the students below who were swollen with their heads, "Don't make things up, don't think that you can handle me by filling in a bunch of numbers in your homework." ”

Next, Professor Victor asked them to look at the dense numbers on the blackboard and began to teach them how to do mathematical divination.

With the exception of a few Muggle-born students, such as Shanna and Albert, most of the students in the class were frowning and listening attentively.

No way, a group of students who have not fully mastered the four operations, it is undoubtedly very difficult to learn mathematical divination.

However, Albert easily understood, well, the content is probability calculations.

"Okay, do the rest of the questions, if you don't finish this lesson, take it back to do, this is today's homework. Professor Victor said to the students in the class.

"Aren't you going to do it?"

Shanna asked, raising an eyebrow, she didn't think Albert didn't understand.

Albert pointed to the form on his parchment, he had finished.

It's very simple, you can come up with the answer in three or two clicks.

"Why were you able to do it so quickly?"

Katrina was incredulous, she had noticed that Albert had barely calculated, so she had calculated the pile of numbers on Professor Victor's blackboard and filled them in on parchment.

"I studied advanced mathematics. Albert said casually.

Compared with higher mathematics, the current arithmetic divination is indeed very simple.

It is undeniable that Muggle wizards have far more advantages than wizards born into wizarding families in this regard, after all, they all went to school as children, studied mathematics to some extent, and were exposed to the four arithmetic.

Professor Victor walked over to this side, picked up the parchment on the table, and glanced at the numbers in the table.

All correct.

Professor Victor looked at Albert in surprise, she had heard of Albert's deeds before, but when she taught them herself, she really understood why other professors would say that about him.

"Lo and behold, Mr. Anderson has done the math, and it's all correct, Gryffindor plus 10 points. After Professor Victor finished speaking, he leaned over to Albert and said, "After class, you stay for the time being, I have something to tell you"

Arithmetic divination is really difficult for many students, except for Shanna, even Katrina, who is immersed in calculations, has not been able to finish the pile of numbers before the end of class.

The sheer disparity was a blow to Katrina.

When Albert came out of the classroom, Katrina wanted to say something, but Shanna got ahead of her.

"What did Professor Victor ask you for?" asked Shanna, curious.

"Professor Victor told me to go to the advanced class when I had time. ”

"I heard that the advanced class only admits the brightest students, and I heard the other seniors say that it seems to be called advanced arithmetic divination research, and the classroom is on the first floor of the castle. Shanna suddenly asked, "Can I go with you to the class?"

"I don't care. Albert shrugged.

"How did you do that? I mean, how did you learn so quickly, do you have any tricks?" asked Katrina.

"What you find difficult may have something to do with the fact that you haven't studied math. Albert told the truth, "Arithmetic divination is very similar to Muggle probability calculations, if you have learned this knowledge, it will be very easy to learn arithmetic divination now." ”

Katrina glared at Albert viciously and turned away. She didn't want to talk to that guy, it was so annoying.
