"So, that's the end result?"

Dumbledore wore glasses connected by silver chains, and one by one, carefully counted all the votes.

"Actually, I'm having a hard time believing everything you're saying—"

He took off his glasses, hung them around his neck, leaned back, and gave a rare puzzled look: "Please forgive an old man's verbosity, in my short life, I have met many people with a gift for foresight, and some of them have also influenced me deeply. ”

"However, there is no one who can do what you say and what Professor Tang did in class."

He explained: "It's not foreknowledge anymore, it's only possible to control it precisely if it exists in the present and the future at the same time, I mean, to use the future as you please? It's incredible. ”

"But he did." Umbridge tilted his chin and said proudly, "Dumbledore, you have to admit that you looked away. ”

"Call me Professor Dumbledore, please." As always, Dumbledore reminded, "I've never claimed that I couldn't be wrong, in fact, I've missed a lot of people, and I've caused a lot of disasters because of it. Of course, now is not the time to reminisce."

His gaze turned to Professor McGonagall and said, "Minerva, what is your impression of that Professor Tang?" ”

Professor McGonagall pondered for a moment, and all sorts of adjectives came to mind, but in the end, she just said the one that stood out the most: "He is a true soothsayer." ”

"I mean, I'm not sure he's going to be a good professor, or a good guy, but I don't think anyone can surpass him when it comes to divination."

"Of course not!" Umbridge couldn't wait to interject: "He's the one Minister Fudge recommended!" Could it be that Secretary Fudge can still look away? I'm afraid you don't know that Professor Tang has only been in the British wizarding world for a few days. ”

"In just a few days, when you all didn't know him, Minister Fudge had already recommended Professor Tang to me many times!"

"I'm afraid that's because Professor Tang submitted an application to Minister Fudge to become a professor of divination." Dumbledore said, "Of course, he had already conveyed this intention to me through Professor Flitwick before that, so let's get back to business. ”

Dumbledore said seriously, "Before announcing our new Divination Professor, I would like to be able to speak with Professor Tang. ”

"Minerva, can you help me inform him?"

Umbridge let out a few smug smiles and couldn't wait to call, "He already knew you were going to say that, so he's outside the door!" ”

“.” Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure and said, "Then, please let our soothsayer in." ”

The door to the principal's office moved automatically, and the three of them saw the tall Townsend as if by coincidence, walking from one side of the corridor to the door of the principal's office.

He turned, smiled properly, and nodded at Dumbledore.

"Minerva, Professor Umbridge, you can go to the Great Hall first." Dumbledore asked the two professors to leave the office before standing up.

"I heard that Professor Tang is from China?" He conjured up a bunch of desserts, and a bunch of suspiciously shaped, crawling cockroaches, "Do you want some cockroach piles?" ”

"No, I don't have a sweet tooth." Townsend was insensitive to such unfriendly food.

"That's a shame, it's my favorite snack." Dumbledore didn't force it, and said casually, "When I was younger, I wanted to travel to that ancient country, but then for some reason I had to abandon it. ”

Tang Sen just nodded with a smile, and did not take the initiative to throw out the topic, but listened politely.

In his mind, Smaug was engrossed in staring at the wizard in front of him through his vision.

"I don't see any threat to this human, other than that he does look a bit like Maia."

"I don't need you to pay attention to what he looks like, Smaug." Townsend said in his consciousness, "I need you to pay attention to something deeper about him. ”

"It's calm, master." Smaug said: "I can't see any of his thoughts, it's not the same feeling as when I was dealing with the little guy, who was too flat because of his mood swings, and this wizard, it's more like there's some way to block out my observations." ”

"Maybe let me come out and see more by really looking at it."

"Now is not the time for you to appear in front of the world." "Don't forget what I told you before, this wizard has the same or even stronger ability to see through people's hearts as you do, and I don't want him to see some of my memories, so if there is any abnormality, even notify me." ”

Townsend would not forget that Dumbledore was a master of Soul Extraction himself.

Although before entering the principal's office, Tang Sen had already divined, and the other party would not use soul retrieval on him, but Tang Sen was still completely prepared.

Divination is not a panacea, as it is normal for accidents to occur from different angles of interpretation, and Townsend has always kept this in mind.

"If I'm not mistaken—"

Dumbledore stirred up the conversation again, saying, "You told Professor Flitwick that you wanted to learn and communicate about divination in the British wizarding world, and promote your ideas about divination. ”

"That's right." Townsend nodded and said, "I can't think of a more suitable place than Hogwarts, the academic center of the British wizarding world. ”

"It's a school." Dumbledore said, "Professor Tang, I'm sorry that I didn't meet you immediately after Professor Flitwick communicated with me, you know, I have to be responsible for my students. ”

Townsend understood what he meant, and smiled, "Does Professor Dumbledore think I'm not fit to be a teacher?" ”

Dumbledore didn't answer the question, but said, "It's a bit offensive, but I must admit that Ferenczer is my favorite divination teacher. ”

"The centaurs may not be good teachers, but they are purely interested in the stars and are not interested in everything in the wizarding world."

"I'm sorry." Tang Sen said, "After all, I am a part of the wizarding world. ”

"Me too." Dumbledore smiled, softening the somewhat stiff atmosphere, "Anyway, welcome to Hogwarts." ”

"I think Professor Umbridge has already mentioned to you about the textbooks that students need to prepare."

"I'll submit the list to Professor McGonagall tomorrow." Townsend Road.

Dumbledore smiled in satisfaction.

"I have one more small request—"

"Of course, please let Professor Trelawney keep her living room." Townsend smiled and preemptively said, "All I need is an office with a fireplace." ”

"This is the divination technique you showed the students?" Dumbledore swallowed back what he was about to say and sighed, "I have to say, it's amazing. ”

"No, Professor Dumbledore."

Tang Sen said politely: "This is not divination. ”

"It's just a very normal speculation."
