Chapter 157: Trelawney's Heirloom
In the empty foyer, a tantalizing row of roasted pumpkins hangs, and candlesticks are lit with candles that flicker like stars.
A figure staggered and staggered in the foyer, but never fell, like a tumbler.
At this moment, the boy suddenly appeared out of thin air, and the two collided, and they both fell to the ground in a hurry.
Rove, who had been "flying" for a long time with the time turner, was already dizzy, and he would fall to the ground again, and it took him a long time to recover.
Rove looked up at the guy who had bumped into him, frozen in place.
It turned out to be Professor Trelawney, who was lying motionless on the ground, and there was a large pool of red blood on the ground.
“……”
Merlin, there's no time and space traffic accident, he knocked Professor Trelawney to death, right?
Rove quickly got up and ran to Professor Trelawney, but when he got closer, he was speechless, and it turned out that she was lying on the ground, snoring...... I fell asleep.
Trelawney looked drunk, full of alcohol, and the bottle was shattered, and the red wine spilled all over the floor, looking like blood.
Suddenly there was a noisy sound of footsteps in the auditorium, and the Halloween dinner was coming to an end, and the students were about to walk out of the auditorium.
Rove, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately became nervous again, and he quickly waved his wand to clean up the fragments of the bottle and the wine, and immediately picked up the drunken Trelawney and ran towards the corridor in the distance.
Rov ran as fast as he could, fearing that he would be one step too late, and the students would see the scene and mistake him for picking up the body of a drunken Professor Trelawney......
That's really not going to be clean by jumping into the black lake!
Soon, the doors of the auditorium were opened, and the students of the various houses, led by their prefects, walked towards their respective common rooms.
Rove, hiding around the corner, saw himself in the Hufflepuff team chatting with Neville; I saw Shirley quietly climbing the stairs, and Hermione, who was sleepy from using the time turner......
It's really fun and wonderful to use the time turner to go back half a year and observe this scene as a spectator.
While Rove was still reminiscing, Professor Trelawney had woken up, and she staggered to her feet and said:
"Where am I?"
Rove hurriedly hugged her and explained:
"Professor Trelawney, you just got drunk and accidentally fell, and I helped you up...... Don't give me extra points, that's what I'm supposed to do! ”
"Oh, really?" Professor Trelawney was confused, "But I seem to remember who hit me...... Kid, is that you?! ”
"Surely not me, Professor!" Rove said categorically: "You know me, you have always been honest and duty-bound, never violating school rules, let alone lying."
Could it be that the Slytherin students did it? They have never had quality. ”
Trelawney glanced at Rove with a small eye, are you still honest?
If the bar is so low, then all Hogwarts are honest.
"Professor Trelawney, since you're alright, I'll go first." Rove said softly, "I still have some things that I need to find Professor Dumbledore." ”
"Scamander, wait...... I've got something for you too! ”
Professor Trelawney's voice suddenly drifted and said, "I'm waiting in the foyer!" ”
"Wait for me?" Rove frowned.
"yes." Professor Trelawney said in a monotonous, soft voice:
"I was divining ...... in my office not long ago"
"Divination or drinking?" Rove raised an eyebrow.
"Son, drink for better divination." Professor Trelawney snorted:
"The hectic school life at Hogwarts can blur my vision, but the wine can be conspicuous."
"A bottle of wine as dark red as blood was enough, and I got the signs...... Fate told me to come here and wait for you, to give you some help. ”
"Who am I, how can I refuse the urging of fate? I immediately walked out of my building and waited for you there......"
Rove's brow furrowed.
Is Trelawney waiting for herself in the auditorium, or is she using the time turner to return to this place?
The meanings of these two roves are completely different!
If it's the former, then it's understandable; But if it's the latter, did Trelawney tell that she would be here half a year in advance?
Rove narrowed his eyes and said, "What help do you want to give me?" ”
Professor Trelawney reached into his robe, and soon pulled out a package, which she handed to Rove:
"You must wear these things on your body, this is a treasure left by my great-great-grandmother."
Professor Trelawney's great-great-grandmother...... Isn't that the famous prophet Kassandra Trelawney?!
That's a baby!
Rove took it excitedly, he touched the package, and guessed, "This is a book?" ”
Professor Trelawney's gaze suddenly became a little evasive, and her voice drifted:
"A precious magic book! But you must never open it until you have to...... You know?! It's going to die! ”
Rove's face was serious, and he nodded, "I see." ”
He was about to make the package smaller and put it in his pocket when he saw Professor Trelawney rub his hands and say:
"Pay for it, kid, you don't think it's for free, do you?"
Rove let out an "ah" and said in amazement: "You still want money?" ”
"Isn't that nonsense?" Professor Trelawney held the shelf, tugging at her shawl and the many strings of shining beads, and said softly:
"This is something left by my great-great-grandmother, a treasure that is almost a thousand years old, and it is casually taken out for auction, and the wizards are rushing to ask for it.
Now, of course, it is impossible to give it to you for free. ”
Rove leaned back slightly, staring at Professor Trelawney, who was now beginning to wonder if the old liar was fooling him.
But since she knows where she will appear after using the time converter, it shouldn't be a scam, right?
"How much?"
Professor Trelawney smiled with satisfaction, and she held out a finger.
Rove asked in a whisper:
"A hundred Galleons?"
Professor Trelawney carefully arranged the shawl and said disdainfully:
"Ten thousand Galleons!"
“……”
"Then I don't want it, you can sell it to other destined people."
Rove threw the package back, then turned and left, 10,000 Galleons was enough for him to hire Shirley for the rest of his life, so why not give it to Trelawney.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Trelawney hurriedly grabbed Rove's sleeve and said with wide eyes:
"Kid, do you know what bargaining is? You're too expensive, but you're paying a price! ”
“……”
"What about a thousand Galleons?" Rove probed.
"Deal!" Trelawney simply stretched out her hand and said, "Hurry up and pay." ”
Rove was heartbroken, he must have lost a lot!
