Chapter 140: Rove: Professor, let's make a bet?

As an old liar, there have been countless embarrassing moments in Trelawney's divination career.

Like what...... When she applied to be a professor of divination at Hogwarts, she and Dumbledore met at the Hogwarts Bar, and the headmaster asked her to help with palmistry.

In order to make a good impression on Dumbledore, Trelawney said that his lifeline was very long, and he would live a hundred years.

Dumbledore smiled and told her that he was ninety-nine years old.

Even such an embarrassing scene, Trelawney can come back hard, and today's little "mistake", as soon as her eyes rolled, she immediately had an idea.

I saw her face solemn and said:

"Is my loss of voice okay? Oops, too bad......"

Everyone looked at Trelawney in staring at each other, and she sighed as if she were performing:

"This can only mean one thing, the student who should have died because of the flu and was revived by me will still die.

So the punishment for leaking the prophecy disappeared...... It seems that destiny is hard to disobey! ”

Professor Trelawney looked at Rove again, a look of pity on his face, and the students all looked at him in horror.

"......" Rove tugged at the corners of his mouth, he was so thick-skinned.

Ever since he was treated for ADHD by Rove, Lev has been a little autistic for some reason...... Especially when facing those female toads, they will even have low self-esteem.

Seeing so many people watching at this time, it committed autism and low self-esteem at the same time, and quickly jumped back into Neville's arms.

Professor Trelawney stared at Neville again and said, "Kid, is this your pet?" ”

"Yes...... Professor Trelawney...... It just accidentally ran away. Neville stammered and explained, "I'm sorry. ”

"Well, you have to be careful, then." Professor Trelawney's voice was flickering, the firelight flickering on her long emerald earrings.

"When you're fourteen years old, it's going to hit a catastrophe, and you can't hide from it!"

“……”

"Alright." Professor Trelawney stood up, straightened her shawl, and continued in a suppressed voice:

"We learned the shape of tea leaves last school year and palmistry not long ago...... At the same time, it is time to learn the signs of fire today. ”

Trelawney pointed to the corner, and saw a brazier stacked on a shelf, and she said softly:

"You need to take a brazier, go to me and get the sage, light it in the brazier, and finally sit down and watch the flames carefully."

"You can use pages 78 and 96 of the book 'Clearing the Fog and Looking to the Future' to decipher the shape of the flame."

Everyone is very excited, although playing with fire urine, but compared to drinking tea and watching palmistry, it is more exciting to play with fire.

When Rove got the teaching equipment, he put the sage in the brazier, and he snapped his fingers, and a small flame immediately burst out, like a swift mouse.

Seeing that everyone had lit the sage, Professor Trelawney said in a fluttering voice:

"The flame is alive, it is ever-changing, it never stands still...... It's like a book that keeps flipping.

It takes years of hard training to see the shadows in the flames, and then many more years to discern which shadows belong to the future, which shadows belong to the present, and which shadows belong to the past.

In any case, the process is quite tough...... Even it took me a long time to grasp the secret. ”

Professor Trelawney walked towards the students, the stones on her body clashing and making a crisp sound.

"Therefore I will walk among you, and help you, and show you, and spy out this unfathomable flame."

Justin and McMillan began to snicker uncontrollably and had to put their fists in their mouths in order to stifle their laughter.

However, Professor Trelawney heard her, and she leaned over and asked, "What do you see so happy?" ”

Justin hurriedly opened the book, he followed the textbook, and read, "An acorn...... Windfall, unexpected gold...... I'll have a lot of gold in the future. ”

"If I were you, I'd not be so sure, dear." Professor Trelawney looked at the flames, shook his head, and said:

"A cracked peach...... Your hips are in danger...... Be careful of your roommate......"

“……”

Justin glanced at McMillan in fear and moved his chair away from him.

Everyone also looked at McMillan, after all, the two of them walked together shoulder to shoulder all day.

McMillan's face flushed, and he retorted loudly, "But Professor, from my side, it's more like a fire dragon, not a peach butt at all." ”

"Really?" Professor Trelawney's glowing eyes turned to McMillan, and she asked, "And what shape is your flame?" ”

"Hmm......" McMillan said, scratching his hair, "a rose...... Does it mean that I am going to harvest sweet love? ”

"I don't think so." Professor Trelawney shook his head and said in a muffled voice:

"I think I saw the results of your final divination class...... Seems to be failing, dear...... You've worked so hard. ”

“……”

With such a naked threat, McMillan immediately coaxed it, and did not dare to refute Trelawney, after all, it was not her decision to fail.

With McMillan's proof, no one dared to contradict Professor Trelawney anymore, and they all honestly observed the flames.

Rove sat in his chair, took a bottle of potion from his pocket and poured it into the brazier, and the flames burst to the ground, blackening the ceiling.

This act of playing with fire undoubtedly caught the attention of Professor Trelawney, who immediately walked over and made a small clatter of the bracelet.

"Kid, what are you doing?!"

"Professor Trelawney, I'm watching the flames." Rove quietly put away the medicine bottle, and he smiled:

"It dawned on me that I might have a unique talent for divination. I seem to be awakened to what you often say...... Tianmu. ”

"It's a pity, kid." Professor Trelawney shook his head and sighed:

"I'll tell you the truth, don't be upset, my dear, I've long since discovered that the aura that surrounds you is small, about the size of a grain of rice.

You, like the little girl named Hermione Granger at Gryffindor House, are very receptive to future resonance...... In other words, no gift for prophecy. ”

“……”

Rove tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said with an innocent smile on his face:

"How about we make a bet?"

"Bet?" Professor Trelawney frowned, "Bet on what?" ”

"Bet on the shape of my flame." Rove laughed, "You won...... From now on, I will be your faithful believer, you want me to go east, I will never go west, you let me chase dogs, I will never catch chickens.

If I win...... I hope that I will get a perfect score in my future divination classes. ”

Professor Trelawney narrowed his eyes and looked at Rove.

Neville looked at Trelawney with a look of emotion, and he wanted to remind her...... Don't bet.

The last time I made a bet with Rove, it was Hermione...... If she gambled a few more times, she should have lost herself.

"You can bet." Professor Trelawney whispered, "I saw a grave, a cracked grave, and a monster crawled out. ”

Rove shook his head and said, "I saw a fiery snake. ”

"Kid, you're wrong...... The flame is clearly stated to be a grave...... There is truth in the flames, but it is not always so easy to grasp. ”

Professor Trelawney had not finished her sentence when she was suddenly stunned.

I saw the flames sway, and soon condensed into the shape of a small snake, its body was thin and grayish-white, and its eyes flashed red.

It slid through the brazier and left a trail of ash in its wake.

That's a fiery snake!

Rove squinted and smiled:

"I won, Professor Trelawney."
