The roll call went well, in fact, the purpose of this session was to allow the professor to match the students with their names, and for Townese, the project was completed long before the public class.

He knows them better than the students think, and even better than some of the students themselves.

So when he closed the student roster, he had already shifted his gaze to Malfoy's direction in advance, and sure enough, the Slytherin student couldn't wait to shout, "Professor Tang, you're missing someone!" ”

After shouting this sentence, he noticed that the other party had been waiting for him to speak, and the picture of the other party in the open class seeing through the future control of the situation suddenly appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt a little empty.

There were low exclamations and laughter all around, and it was clear that in the eyes of the students, Malfoy's words had been foreseen by Professor Tang.

"Mr. Malfoy." Townsend flipped through the student roster again, "Your reminder is timely. ”

He cast his gaze to the classroom door, and the students fell silent for a moment, and then, as they heard hurried footsteps and bellows-like wheezing getting closer, a figure burst in.

"Harry Potter." Townsend read the name into the student handbook.

Harry looked around a little confused, and hurriedly said to Tang Sen, "I'm sorry Professor Tang. I didn't mean to be late, I-"

"Please take a seat, Mr. Potter." Townsend smiled and waved his hand, "You have to thank Mr. Malfoy for his reminder to catch up with the roll call, otherwise I would have to deduct points from Gryffindor." ”

Harry's face was even more confused.

Thanks Malfoy? How can it be!

Returning to Hermione and sitting down, Harry couldn't wait to say, "Guess who I saw in Professor Dumbledore's office?!" ”

"Snape! He seems to have gone on some secret mission. About magicians or something."

"Getting to the point." Hermione whispered, "What did Professor Dumbledore say?" ”

"Didn't say anything." Harry stretched out his hands helplessly, "He just made me believe in him. I've heard this phrase too many times. ”

There was some resentment in his tone: "Professor Dumbledore has barely met me since the beginning of this semester, everything he is doing keeps me in the dark, and everyone is hiding it from me. I'm the one who saw Voldemort come back to life! I'm the one who fought Voldemort myself! ”

"Shh Seeing that Harry was getting more and more excited, Hermione hurriedly covered his mouth: "Professor Tang is staring at you." ”

Harry quickly looked up, and sure enough, he couldn't help but blush when he saw the divination professor from the East looking at him with a smile.

"Mr. Potter." "I was about to begin to explain the simplest of divination—coin divination," said Townesend, and I noticed that you seem to have a strong desire to express yourself, so why don't you tell you what coin divination is?" ”

"Okay." Harry stood up awkwardly and stammered, "Coin divination. It is a convenient divination that does not require much preparation, and usually uses coins as divination."

There was a small chuckle around him, and Harry could hear Malfoy whispering a mocker, "That's all nonsense!" ”

Harry pursed his lips and glared.

"Mr. Potter." Tang Sen's voice came from the podium: "Well spoken, please continue." ”

Harry's encouragement made Harry's heart feel a little better, and he took a deep breath and continued, "Coin divination is usually used in situations where a clear answer is needed, because in most cases, the revelations that can be obtained from coin divination are only positive and negative, meaning right or wrong, should or should not. ”

"Good." Townsend complimented, "It seems that Mr. Potter has already prepared what we are going to talk about today. ”

"Gryffindor plus five points."

As the professor of divination, Townsend naturally has the power to add and deduct points for the four houses, and this power does not need to be reported to Professor McGonagall or Professor Dumbledore, and by the time Townsend said this, the hourglass belonging to Gryffindor in the Great Hall had already accumulated five points.

This is one of the fixed spells at Hogwarts Castle.

Harry sat down with some excitement, he was rarely given extra points by the professor for his performance in class, and this part of the bonus was basically contracted by Hermione.

He could feel the kindness of the Don professor to him, which made Harry, who had been tortured in Snape's Potions class, feel very happy.

"Mr. Potter has briefly described coin divination for us, so let me give you a little demonstration." Tang Sen took out a gold Galleon, looked around the classroom, and said, "Is there any student who would like to provide an idea for divination?" ”

The classroom suddenly raised its arms.

"I'm very pleased with everyone's positive attitude, but with so many people, it's really hard to choose." Tang Sen smiled: "Fortunately, as soothsayers, we have our own methods when faced with choices. ”

"You can put your hands down." He raised the gold coin in his hand and said, "As Mr. Potter said before, coin divination is a simple divination, and most of the omins obtained through coins are only two kinds, which are not applicable on many occasions, but now it is just right, for example-"

He pronounced his divination:

"I should choose a male classmate."

“.”

After seven times, Townsend tossed the gold coin, and after letting the gold coin fall in his palm, he tilted his palm slightly so that the students could see the result of the coin throwing.

"We can see that the result is the opposite."

"In other words, I shouldn't have chosen a male classmate."

The classroom resounded with the boys' sighs and wails of disappointment.

Townsend pressed his palm down, quieting the boys before continuing, "Looks like a game of pure luck, doesn't it?" Actually, even I didn't know who I should choose, or what kind of divination ideas my chosen classmates would come up with. ”

"But divination will always give me the answer, and in this way, find the best solution for me from the future."

"Of course, it should be noted that whether it is coin divination or pendulum divination, this kind of divination method that needs to obtain answers from the future through the medium, our divination language cannot be a question sentence, you should presuppose a result, and then you can get the revelation."

Tang Sen read again: "I should choose the female classmates in the first three rows." ”

“.”

After seven times, he tossed the gold coin and got a positive result.

"Obviously, little by little, we can eliminate redundant options in this way and end up with the results we want."

Townsend explained the coin divination in detail, and kept tossing the gold coins, and after a few times, he finally decided on the candidate, and of course, the other students already knew who the divination foreshadowed and their eyes were focused on Hermione Granger, whose face was a little red with excitement.

"Miss Granger, you can say what you think."

Hermione stood up at the signal of Tang Sen, took a deep breath, and said, "Professor Tang, I want to know. Can I become Minister of Magic? ”

A low laugh rang out from inside the classroom, which made Hermione's face redder.

Tang Sen also smiled kindly, and said, "Miss Granger, I can understand your expectations for the future, but divination may not be what you imagined. ”

"Fortune tellers do see the future, but the future is constantly changing, and when I say a prophecy, the future may change because of the influence of that prophecy, especially if it is so long-term—there are so many factors that affect it."

Tang Sen extended the topic and said: "Many people think that fate is a net, and all people's actions are in the net of fate, impartiality, but this is obviously impossible, fate is only a set direction, but it can be influenced by other factors and go off the rails and drive in a completely different direction." ”

"So, Miss Granger, even if I tell you now that you can become Minister of Magic, this future may not come to fruition, and sometimes it is not a good thing to know the outcome in advance."

After Tang Sen finished speaking, he joked: "Moreover, we can't verify things that are so long ago in this class." ”

He looked around at the students below and said, "Everyone has a misconception that the purpose of divination is to predict the future, but in fact, the role of divination is far more than that, it can not only see the future, but also see the present, and can find the past, as long as there is a medium and information, we can do more things through the means of divination than you imagine." ”

"For example, the divination staff method can be used to find people, dream divination also has the ability to see pictures that have happened in the past, and astrolabe divination can see the context of a person's experience."

Hermione thought for a moment and said, "I see, Professor Tang." ”

She looked at Harry, took a deep breath, and said, "If I could, I would like to be able to divinate a question about the past." ”

"Is that man, the man who once scarred Harry, really resurrected?"

As soon as her words fell, the classroom suddenly became silent.

All the students closed their mouths in unison, looking at her with fear and disbelief, and the atmosphere suddenly became depressed.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from inside the classroom: "Granger! How dare you! ”

It was Malfoy, who stood up, pointed a trembling finger at Hermione, and roared, "Everyone knows it's just a Harry Potter lie, and the Ministry of Magic has confirmed it!" ”

"In that case, what are you afraid of?" Hermione looked at him bravely and said, "I believe that Professor Tang's divination must be more true than what is written in the Daily Prophet!" ”

Malfoy was out of breath, and he shouted eagerly, "I'm going to call Professor Umbridge!" Granger, you've clearly violated Professor Umbridge's rules! She had already said that no one would ever be allowed to talk about it at Hogwarts! ”

"Then let her punish me."

Hermione said coldly, ignoring Malfoy and looking at Townsend instead.

"Professor Tang, is it okay?"
