Chapter 364: Honest Professor Trelawney

After breakfast, everyone went to the first divination class of the school year.

The Divination class was held at the top of the North Tower, which was far from the castle and would take at least ten minutes away, and the spiral up the staircase was a test for the students who were going to take the divination class.

It is worth mentioning that there are actually quite a few students who choose to take the divination course, which is the first choice for students who choose to make up the number, and is more popular than its Muggle studies.

No way, the homework in divination classes is usually relatively simple, as long as you make up some bad things, you can easily fool the past, it doesn't take much time and energy, let alone study hard, because most students can't learn divination at all, at most they can only learn some common sense of divination.

No way, divination requires talent.

There are very few that can truly predict the future.

"Is there a shortcut? ”

Lee Jordan asked gasping as it took them at least fifteen minutes to reach the small platform below the divination classroom. There were already a few people around who had arrived earlier than them.

"Unfortunately, there is no shortcut to get here directly. Fred took a long breath and breathed steadily before he spoke, "There is a secret passage, but don't expect it to be much faster. ”

"Where there are shortcuts. Angelina immediately asked.

"Behind the portrait of a nun on the third floor. Fred didn't hide it, "You can get to the fifth floor, but you still have to climb the stairs here." ”

"I hate the stairs here. Albert grunted. The stairs they came up were very narrow, and they were spiraling upwards, and when they climbed up, he felt an inexplicable sense of dizziness.

"This is my first class, what about you?" Albert noticed that Katrina was looking at her, and took the initiative to greet the other person, saying something that the others didn't understand.

"Just came from the math divination side. Katrina said anxiously, "It's choking." ”

"What are you talking about?" Fred asked, raising an eyebrow, feeling that the conversation between the two guys was a bit inexplicable.

"Where's the divination classroom?" asked George, frowning, as he looked around.

"Redheads are a bunch of fools. Graham Montay's sneer came from the side.

Gryffindor and Slytherin have always had a bad relationship, especially with the Quidditch players, and they don't forget to taunt each other at every opportunity.

"When did even a gorilla be qualified to call someone stupid?" said the twins, looking at Graham Montey in unison.

Montay didn't refute, because he had been cast a spell and his tongue was glued to his palate, and he couldn't speak for a moment, let alone refute the twins.

He pointed his tongue at his tongue and gestured at his partner, his cheeks flushed with grievance, and he almost threw a punch at the twins, but his partner stopped him.

Before Fred could continue to taunt the other party, the trapdoor above suddenly opened, and a silver ladder was lowered.

"Well done!" George winked at Albert, in a very happy mood.

Albert pretended not to hear and looked at the divination room. It's less like a classroom and more like a mix of an attic and an old-fashioned teahouse.

The classroom was warm, surrounded by a bunch of small round tables with several armchairs and small soft cushions around each table, and a fire burning in the fireplace next to it, on which a large copper kettle was burning. The curtains are drawn, and the surrounding lamps are draped in crimson shades, creating an eccentric atmosphere.

The circular walls are surrounded by shelves filled with dust plumes, candle heads, old playing cards, countless crystal balls for divination, and a large pile of tea sets.

"Welcome to the divination class," Professor Trelawney said to all the students, "I'm Professor Trelawney, and you may not have seen me before. ”

"Divination is the most difficult of all magical arts. "So, I have to remind you at the outset that if you don't have the 'vision,' then I have very little to teach you, and that books can only take you so far in this regard," said Professor Trelawney in a soft, indistinct voice......

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and most of them failed to understand the meaning of Professor Trelawney's words.

"She means the book isn't much use?" asked Albert with a frown.

What she meant was that divination classes require talent, and if you don't have talent, that's it. Albert explained quietly, "There are very few wizards who can really predict the future. ”

"Mr. Anderson is right," said Professor Trelawney, who had come to Albert's side at some point, and said with a smile, "I'm glad you came to my class." ”

Many people looked at Albert, and he didn't know what to say.

"Sit, let's sit down first!"

Sitting in an armchair in front of the fireplace, Professor Trelawney continued: "This year we are learning all kinds of basic divination methods. In the first semester, I learned how to decipher tea. Next semester we should be learning palmistry. By the way, I don't expect to be able to teach you how to predict the future, as Mr. Anderson said, there are very few wizards who can actually predict the future, but I can teach you the basics of divination and the basics of usage. ”

The students began to whisper.

"In the summer term," Professor Trelawney continued, pretending not to hear, "we're going to learn to look at the crystal ball, which is the main thing we're learning, and if you have the 'vision,' the crystal ball will take you into a whole new realm." ”

"I think Albert seems to be able to see things from the crystal ball?" Lee Jordan muttered quietly, not knowing if it was intentional.

"Oh, it seems that Mr. Anderson already has the 'vision'. Professor Trelawney looked Albert up and down, and suddenly said, "Then why don't we let him show us?"

Albert glared at Lee Jordan fiercely, and then sat down in the seat next to Professor Trelawney under the watchful eyes of countless students.

Professor Trelawney placed a crystal ball in front of Albert.

At this moment, all the students gathered around, as if to see how Albert predicted the future.

Albert stared at the crystal ball, reaching out and brushing it over, and the silver mist began to swirl, and there was a faint shadow moving inside.

He stared earnestly at the fog in the crystal ball, thinking back to what he wanted to know.

Given the experience of the last time, Albert did not doubt that he would fail.

"What do you see?"

Professor Trelawney's voice seemed to come from afar.

"A pool of silvery liquid. ”

"A pool of silvery liquid?" Professor Trelawney repeated, confused.

"I was just foreseeing the danger. Albert whispered, "I saw a pool of silver liquid. ”

"What do you think that's that?" asked Professor Trelawney.

"The blood of a unicorn. Albert affirmed, "As far as I know, the blood of unicorns is silver. ”

"Is there a unicorn corpse next to the blood?"

"Nope. Albert affirmed, "All I saw was a pool of silver blood." ”

"What do you think that means?" Professor Trelawney continued.

"It's dangerous in the Forbidden Forest. Albert said cooperatively.

At this moment, everyone exploded and began to whisper.

"Everyone knows that the Forbidden Forest is dangerous. Several Slytherin students couldn't help but scoff.

"I think you can organize a Slytherin student to take a walk around the Forbidden Forest. Fred scoffed, "Perhaps, you're going to have incredible adventures." ”

"Quiet!"

Professor Trelawney had to raise his voice and silence all the distractions," said Mr. Anderson, continue. ”

"As far as I know, unicorns are magical creatures with strong magical powers, and very few things in the Forbidden Forest can harm them, which is a bad omen. Albert said calmly.

Professor Trelawney looked at the crystal ball on the table, and then at Albert.

To be honest, she's not sure if Albert will be able to use a crystal ball to make predictions.

During her time at Hogwarts, Professor Trelawney hadn't met a student who really possessed the gift of prophecy, but she did see a split second change in Albert's face just now, and maybe he did see something from the crystal ball.

Actually, Professor Trelawney was right.

Albert had predicted the possible danger of Hogwarts, and had predicted that in the blur of fog, Albert saw a scarf from the crystal ball.

He immediately realized what it was: the ridiculous scarf that Quirrell was wearing around his head.

Albert couldn't have told the story, so he had to concoct a true prophecy to keep a few of his death-loving roommates away from the Forbidden Forest.

"Professor Trelawney. Albert suddenly said, "I have a question. ”

"What a problem. Professor Trelawney said.

"Why I don't see my prophecy so clearly. "As far as I know, a true prophet can make himself and others see the vision presented in a crystal ball. ”

"Yes, yes, a lot of people think that's the case. Professor Trelawney looked at Albert with a complicated expression and replied softly, "However, few people know that this talent is only possessed by a very small number of people. ”

"But having talent doesn't mean you can do it right away, you need to train, you need to try, you need to know that. She continued, "I suggest you finish reading 'Cutting Through the Fog and Looking into the Future', which will take you into the world of soothsayers, but you don't have to worry too much about it, because that's all it does. ”

"Alright, get back to your seat, we're going to start class. Professor Trelawney added, "Gryffindor plus 20 points, you are very talented in this area." ”

Perhaps because of Albert's stimulation, everyone was extra attentive to the lessons, and they all wanted to have the ability to predict the future like Albert.

No one thinks they can't.

"Did you really see that?" asked Lee Jordan as Professor Trelawney taught everyone how to use tea for divination.

"What do you say?" asked Albert, expressionless.

Katrina next to her was frustrated, she couldn't be sure if Albert could really use the crystal ball to make predictions, but she couldn't accept it in just a few words, and she was deceived by Professor Trelawney for twenty points.
