Chapter 180: The Versatile Trelawney
Professor Trelawney stared at Neville with burning eyes, until his heart was hairy and even his breathing began to grow uneven.
Fortunately, she stared at it for a moment before withdrawing her gaze, which made Neville secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"This year we will learn all kinds of basic divination methods, the first semester will only learn to decipher tea leaves for the time being, and the next semester we should learn palmistry, by the way, my dear." When she said this, her eyes turned to Ron, "Watch out for the people around you."
Ron looked at Harry, then at Louis, then at Hermione, and finally locked his eyes on Draco.
Draco frowned, disgusted, "I'm not your side, red-haired squirrel."
Before Ron could refute, Professor Trelawney spoke again.
This time it was to Draco.
"As for you, my child." It was hard to believe the accuracy of her words with her chattering expression: "Beware of men who play with fire."
Louis knew that Trelawney was talking about Crabbe's chubby little boy who had nearly burned Draco to death when he set fire to the Room of Requirement in seventh grade.
Of course, also burned himself to death.
The ancients played with fire and urine, and Crabbe played with fire***.
"Study in the summer," Professor Trelawney continued, "and we'll learn how to look at crystal balls if we've learned about fire omens...... Unfortunately, in February, a vicious flu would shut down the class and I would lose my voice...... Around Easter, one of us will leave you forever."
As she said this, there was a tense silence in the classroom, but Professor Trelawney felt no sense of it, and even enjoyed it a little.
Louis corroborates the original book and discovers that Professor Trelawney is completely...... Maybe it's just to scare the kids, right?
"I think, dear." She told Lavender Brown, who was closest to Professor Trelawney, that she was so frightened that she cowered in her chair when the professor turned around and frightened.
"Can you hand me the biggest teapot?" Professor Trelawney didn't realize that he had scared the good new students.
Lavender looked relieved, and she stood up and took a large teapot from the shelf and placed it on the table in front of Professor Trelawney.
"Thank you, dear, and by the way, the thing you were afraid of — it would happen on Friday, October 16th."
Lavender shuddered.
Louis looked at Lavender with a look of fear on his face, and thought to himself that being uneducated was really terrible......
He looked at the little stunned friends around him, patted Hermione's shoulder who was still in a daze, and motioned for everyone to gather in a circle.
"October 16 is Saturday, and Professor Trelawney is scaring people." Louis whispered.
The friends then understood what was going on, and they didn't even feel so scary when they brought it.
The other students didn't hear it, but that didn't mean Professor Trelawney couldn't hear Louis's little move, she turned her head and laughed at Louis.
"Mountbatten-san, do you mind if I show you the future in the way we're going to learn?"
Louis politely smiled and refused, "I'm sorry, Professor, I don't believe that."
"And what do you believe?" Professor Trelawney struck up with Louis with great interest, "Crystal ball? Tarot cards? Or astrology? What zodiac sign are you?"
It would be too unsociable to say that he didn't believe anything, so Louis had to think of a way to try to stop Professor Trelawney: "I'm sorry, Professor, I only believe my mother's Zhou Yi."
I thought that this sentence would completely block Professor Trelawney's eagerness to try divination, but who would have thought that her eyes would light up and slap her thigh: "Coincidentally! Mountbatten, I happen to have a little bit of a dabbling in this, do you want to use the more traditional yarrow method, or the divination method, or the money class?"
"What else
Is there something you don't know?" Louis was shocked, he never expected Professor Trelawney to be an all-rounder in the divination class......
"I wouldn't ...... like the face of the Stick Country," Professor Trelawney said honestly.
After all, she can't see whether the young general is suitable to be president (ushi.
Louis thought about it, and it would be a little unpleasant to refuse Professor Trelawney's words, so he said, "Then you can burn me a tortoise shell."
Professor Trelawney nodded, took out a turtle shell from the shelf behind him, danced for a long time, picked the turtle shell with an iron rod, and baked it on the flame of the fireplace. After a while, the turtle shell crackled, and Professor Trelawney picked it back, not afraid of the heat, and took it in his hand, his face was very close, and he was about to stick to the turtle shell.
"The "No" of "Observation", this is ...... This is ......" Professor Trelawney's eyes were now completely occupied, and her voice was no longer as soft as before, but like many people speaking in a hoarse voice together, as if in a cave, with a slight echo: "The light of the country, use the king of Binyu...... Sybil Trelawney Meets My King......"
As he spoke, he knelt down with a thud.
It's a good thing that this is said in Chinese, otherwise Louis would not have been able to explain it clearly.
But the professor's unusual behavior still made the whole audience uproar, and everyone wondered what kind of language she didn't understand just now, just like she was talking to Louis in code.
Louis stopped the noisy behavior of his classmates, turned around and quickly picked up Professor Trelawney, took the tortoise shell from her hand, and carried it into his arms.
At this time, Professor Trelawney also seemed to recover from nervousness, and Tong Kong reappeared in his eyes, looking at Louis who was supporting her in front of him with some confusion.
"Did I just say something?" She asked, blankly.
"You didn't say anything, Professor, it's time to continue teaching everyone." Louis quickly diverted the subject, he didn't want this sensitive topic to continue.
Don't die! Am I, Louis, the kind of usurper?
Professor Trelawney shook his hair like a cat in water, relieved himself for a moment, and said in a loud voice, "Now, I want you all to divide into two groups, take a teacup from the shelf, come to me, and I will pour tea into your cup."
As informed, the students lined up in two lines to get their teacups from the shelves, and returned to their seats to wait for Professor Trelawney to pour tea into their cups.
If you have a big heart, aren't you afraid that Professor Trelawney will add some strange unknown substance to the tea?
You are an astrologer one by one.
After seeing the students sit down, Professor Trelawney met the waiting eyes of the students and said in detail: "After a while, when I say to drink tea, you start drinking tea, and when there are only tea leaves left in the cup, shake the tea residue three times with your left hand, and then turn the teacup over and buckle it on the teacup holder; Wait until the last bit of tea is gone, and then exchange your tea for your companions to decipher—you can use pages 5 and 6 of the book "Cutting Through the Fog and Looking to the Future" to decipher the shape of the tea pomace, and I will walk between you, helping you, guiding you, oh, and, dear—"
She grabbed Neville's arm and pulled him up, "Please go pick out a teacup for me, and if you don't mind, get me a blue one, thank you."
It's a strange combination, Harry and Draco are in a group, Hermione and Ron are in a group, Louis doesn't know who to choose, and Dean Thomas on the side volunteers to come over and get together with Louis.
Louis shook the teacup gracefully—the teacup was a bit like a tea bowl from an authentic city, and with a lid, Louis's DNA moved at once, and he sat up straight and gave his classmates a dignified lesson on how to drink tea.
Hey, guess what? Our old London just wakes up every morning like this, hey, authentic......
It's a pity that this tea is not made of jasmine, it's a pity.
He did what Professor Trelawney taught, and put the tea pomace
He shook it well, then dried the teacup and exchanged teacups with Dean.
"What do you see in my cup?" Dean asked curiously.
"Tea." Louis replied honestly.
This answer blocked Dean for a moment, and he almost couldn't breathe and fainted.
"Open your minds, my dear, and let your eyes go beyond the things of the world!" Trelawney cried out in the darkness at the right time, her voice high-pitched.
"Well, I saw a TV, and it really looked like a TV." Dean said hesitantly, flipping through the book as he spoke, and didn't see what the TV represented until he reached the end of the page.
"Then I'm pretty good at drinking." Louis chuckled and looked down at Dean's teacup.
Above it is a mouse.
"It's a mouse, I'm not Sister Li, what does a mouse have to do with you." Louis hesitated and said, "Generally speaking, rats represent ......."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Dean snort, and it turned out to be Ron's Spotted running out and passing in front of him.
He was most afraid of this little furry animal, and Louis gloated a little, "I want to retract my previous contempt, it seems that this divination is quite accurate, at least it has been fulfilled now."
"Ron! Can you take care of your mouse?" Dean sounded a little unhappy.
Ron hurriedly apologized, Dean was not the one to hold on, and let Ron go after the fright passed.
Harry burst out laughing, he didn't expect this divination to be surprisingly accurate.
"So you're going to giggle here all the time, right?" Draco's words were unpleasant, he took Harry's tea bowl, stared at it for a long time, and said against the book, "Falcon, oh roar, Harry, you have a mortal enemy......
"You're talking nonsense, Draco." Harry frowned and said, "Who doesn't know the deep enmity between me and Voldemort?"
As he spoke, he lowered his head at Draco's teacup and complained uncertainly for a long time, "Look at you, Draco, what are you drinking...... Hmm, that's ...... Ha...... It's a dinosaur, right? It must be a Tyrannosaurus rex, right?"
Thanks to Harry's imagination, there is no record of dinosaurs in the wizarding world.
Hermione said to Harry, "Harry, I suggest you take a closer look, there are no stories of dinosaurs in the wizarding world.
"Okay." Harry reluctantly reluctantly reoriented the teacup, hesitated, and said, "This time, it looks like a flower pot."
"Found it." He flipped through the note about the pots, "Looks like you should be careful with your circle of friends, Malfoy."
"I think I should be careful not to pass out." Draco said in a strange voice.
Before Harry could retort, Trelawney had already walked over and snatched the cup from Draco's hand.
She frowned and looked at it for a long time, turning as she looked: "Well, big stick, an attack, dear, this is not a lucky teacup...... Skull, in danger, your future, dear."
At this time, the classmates no longer rummaged through the teacups in their hands, but looked intently at Harry's side to see what Trelawney could do.
At the same time, Neville's cup shattered, and Professor Trelawney couldn't tell if she was startled by what she was holding or the sound of Neville's broken teacup, she took a few steps back and sat down on an empty armrest chair, her hands caressing her heart, her eyes closed and gasping for air.
Being surrounded by Professor Trelawney, the students didn't dare to catch their breath, and they held their breath one by one and looked at Professor Trelawney with full attention.
"Oh, no—my dear child, my poor child...... No, no, no, it's terrible, I'd better not say it......
This moment Harry couldn't fix it, staring at the teacup in his hand in a daze, and the classmates stood up with a hula and gathered around their tables, all tiptoeing to look into Harry's cup in the middle.
"What's wrong? Professor?" Dean asked grinningly.
"My dear ......" At this moment, Professor Trelawney's eyes opened, she stood up, and the students hula made way for her, and she leaned over to Harry's side, trembling, and said, "You...... Do you have an unknown ......?"
"What do I have?" Harry obviously didn't understand what was going on, how could he have a good cup of tea, and he was hand-picked and ominous?
The classmates also looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, especially Hermione and Ron, Hermione glanced at Professor Trelawney with disgust, and almost said that you are a god stick in her eyes.
"Unknown! Unknown!" Professor Trelawney danced and waved her withered arms, and in a moment she jumped to her feet and pointed at Harry and shouted, "That big ghostly dog roaming the cemetery! My dear child, this is a bad omen! A great omen! The worst omen!"
Louis almost didn't laugh, but luckily he reacted in time to hold back.
Actually, Professor Trelawney is not wrong, but what he said is a bit misleading......
