Chapter 12: Divination

Dumbledore's speech was nothing out of the ordinary, except for introducing Quirrell's transfer, and the point was to emphasize not going near the hallway on the fourth floor.

Karl noticed that Dumbledore's gaze swept over them as he said this.

The Weasley brothers were very interested in the place in Dumbledore's words, and although they didn't speak, Karl had noticed their eye contact with each other.

After singing the school song and returning to the dormitory, Fred really asked directly, "When are we going to see?" ”

Carl did have some interest in that place, but he was really busy this year, so he shook his head and said, "You guys go and see it first, I think it's not just you who are interested there, I don't necessarily have time this year." ”

Hogwarts isn't all good students.

"Okay." George said, "If there's any difficulty, we'll look for you again." ”

The next day, the Harry Potter trend continued, and many students went out of their way to see the wizarding celebrity, especially interested in the scars on their heads, and Carl heard more than once about what made Harry Potter special.

People were curious, curious about everything about him, whether it was his appearance, or his scars, or his talents.

This savior was destined to be scrutinized and evaluated by countless people from the moment he entered the school.

But Carl didn't have time for any of this, he had to get used to time travel as quickly as possible, and twelve classes was not an easy task.

Especially since he has a lot of friends, which makes him need to think of excuses every time he disappears.

Fortunately, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were used to Carl's secrets, and after a few temptations, they wisely gave up the inquiry and chose to help Carl cover it up.

After entering the third year, the professors' courses became more difficult, and they began to learn a lot of knowledge in preparation for the O.W.L.S. two years later.

Professors are also demanding more from their students – which means more homework.

Carl's support society has grown, and Hufflepuff and Gryffindor students have become more active, hoping to use the club to focus on their homework.

Carl, in particular, took twelve classes and became the best tutor.

However, after a week, after Carl took all the courses, he did regret it.

As Cedric said, some of the lessons here aren't so useful.

The first is the divination class.

They were divining from a small tower, and the class was taught by a mother-in-law who was hard to say whether she was crazy or drank too much.

The classrooms were decorated in a pretentious appearance—much like the divination booths Carl had seen at garden fairs as a child—dimly lit and somewhat stuffy, with exotic armchairs, and countless divination props that Carl had seen in the Muggle world: teapots, candles, pokers, crystal balls.

Even when they first met, the teacher followed the rules of a soothsayer very well, deliberately standing in the shadows and speaking in a vague and soft voice.

"Welcome." She said, "Thank you for coming, I am always immersed in the invisible and wonderful fate. ”

Karl thought that Professor Trelawney must have been dressed like a gypsy teller, with his glittering shawl, necklace and beads around his neck, and various bracelets and rings identical to those of a gypsy soothsayer Carl had ever seen.

She had people do it separately, like in a teahouse, around a table, and then started talking about the gods.

What is the celestial eye, the visible world, the sight······

Of course, there was one thing she understood.

Divination can't be taught, it seems to be a unique talent, a person with a "Heavenly Eye", she can help those people to better grasp this power, and if you don't have a "Heavenly Eye", then you can only learn here.

This knowledge can also be used for divination, but it is very ineffective.

It can be said that if divination is considered magic, then Muggles are their little wizards.

When Trelawney finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at Carl.

If there was one person here who could be a "wizard" of divination, everyone thought Karl was the most likely.

Trelawney, apparently noticing everyone's gaze, motioned for Carl to stand up.

"You, why is everyone looking at you?" She asked.

"Maybe it's because everyone thinks I may have a 'Tianmu'."

Trelawney frowned: "If you really have a heavenly eye, you will show it very early, have you usually made any prophecies?" ”

"Nope." Carr said.

"So did you predict anything?"

Carl thought for a moment but shook his head: "No." ”

"Then you shouldn't have a heavenly eye." She seemed relieved, and immediately comforted, "But it's normal, this kind of talent is only possessed by a few people, you may be very talented in other magic, but divination······ Dumbledore also had no talent for divination. ”

After Carl sat down, she suddenly said, "By the way, death is approaching you, be careful of the people around you." ”

Karl was stunned for a moment, and the others were overwhelmed by the terrible prophecy, and they were cautious and curious to listen.

Instead of explaining, Trelawney asked Graham Monty, who was sitting nearby, to hand him the teapot and make a prediction that Monty would break a cup during the class.

Her surprise frightened everyone, even Carl was a little skeptical—the main thing was that the divination was too understated, as if it were a prophecy she was casually talking about.

The way things turned out after that seemed to prove her right.

Montay did break a cup, while flipping the teacup.

This made her seem even more inscrutable, with many of the students looking at her in awe and casting sneaky glances at Carl from time to time.

Instead, Karl frowned, because he always felt that something was wrong. If such a weight lift is light, and it is guaranteed to take effect in real time, could it be that this professor is the "Dumbledore" of the divination world?

The outrageous divination of the tea also added to Carl's suspicions, and he even felt that it was written by whom, and that the tea leaves gathered together seemed to be like anything, depending on what you said.

He himself saw a big stick, which meant that he would be attacked, while Trelawney said that it was a cross, which meant that he would encounter trials and suffering.

At the end of the divination lesson, she said to Carl, "Poor child, death will take you or your friends, be careful. ”

Arya, who was in attendance with Carl, was so worried about this that she told Carl's other friends about it during her Transfiguration class.

Everyone's reaction to this was mixed.

Fred and George argue about who will be the one who dies - they both think it is themselves.

Lee Jordan insisted that the professor was talking nonsense, saying that real soothsayers need to use props, and that a soothsayer can't just prophesy, just like a wizard needs a wand to perform magic.

Angelina and Aliya have similar opinions, this kind of thing would rather be trusted than not, and they suggested that Carl should not go to Hogsmeade this year, after all, Hogwarts is the safest place, but Hogsmeade is not easy to say.

"Maybe it's the dark wizard who escaped." They speculated, "Maybe he's still around." ”
