Chapter Forty-Eight: Unqualified Fraudsters

After a moment's flickering, Professor Trelawney returned to his previous position satisfied.

The quality of this year's students is still very high, and they all seem to be relatively easy to fool.

Professor Trelawney decided to add another fire to the following teachings and put his skills to work.

"I saw with Tianmu that our first class was going to learn to decipher the shape of tea leaves."

Professor Trelawney continued in an ethereal voice,

"I want you to come to me in pairs, each with a cup from the shelf."

"I'll fill your cups with tea."

"When all that is left is tea residue, you shake the tea residue in the cup three times with your left hand, and then turn the cup upside down on the tray."

"When the last drop of tea is oozing, please hand the cup to your partner to decipher."

"Of course, in this process, you can refer to the contents of chapters 5 and 6 of "Clearing the Fog and Looking at the Future" to interpret the shape of tea leaves."

What the heck?

Harley felt more and more that the professor was lying.

The witch herself is a master of anti-divination, and she also has a certain bonus in learning occult knowledge.

So Hallie is still very knowledgeable about various means of divination.

At the same time, as a witch who often deals with bedbugs in the dark world, Harley has also seen many extraordinary people in the soothsayer path, and even seen demigods in this path.

She had heard of tarot card divination, of divination rods, and even of the simplest coin toss.

But tea divination is still carried out entirely by a group of novices...... Well, forgive her for being unheard, Harley hadn't seen it.

After Harley and Hermione filled their teacups, they made their way back to the table.

A chill rose from Hallie's hands, helping to cool the freshly boiled tea in their cups.

Professor Trelawney is still urging students to get started.

Hallie was curious, wouldn't anyone really listen to the professor like this, and just drink the hot tea!

Wait, there was a suppressed wail in the distance, as if someone had drunk the hot tea in one gulp.

Well, when I didn't say it myself.

After the two of them drank the tea, they followed the steps taught by Professor Trelawney to practice step by step.

"I don't understand, what can we see with this wet black and brown thing?"

Hermione looked at Hallie's tea leaves and muttered impatiently.

"Who knows?" Hallie shrugged, "I feel like divination in the mirror is more reliable than this." ”

"In the mirror?"

"Oh, I'm talking about the Magic Mirror divination, a very old form of divination."

"I pulled out a roll of parchment from the deepest part of our family's vault, on which was recorded the Magic Mirror divination."

"It's just that there are many restrictions on using this kind of divination, and it's still more difficult to use."

Harley quickly found a reason to push the Magic Mirror divination to the Potter family's book collection.

Anyway, after being in this world for so long and having been exposed to extraordinary powers, Harley has never heard of any great existence in this world.

Combined with my previous experience of Magic Mirror Divination, I can only pray to the world itself by using Magic Mirror Divination here.

So even if you need to teach Hermione the Mirror divination, there will be no danger.

Of course, if Harley reverts to Sequence Three, then she can also respond to the Magic Mirror divination that she is interested in.

The premise is that the prayer is prayed to Harley and that the prayer can be directed to Harley and that it is close enough to Harley.

Hermione nodded, making a mental note for the after-class inquiry.

She then began to try to make out the shape of the tea leaves in Hallie's cup against the textbook.

"The black-brown tea leaves are spherical in shape, like a ghost flying ball!" Hermione looked at the book,

"Does that mean you're going to have Quidditch in your possession of Quidditch? That's pretty good, and it means Gryffindor can win Quidditch. ”

"But that will determine the future? That's child's play, isn't it? ”

Harley pursed her lips and didn't speak, but in her heart she completely lost hope for tea divination.

She had deliberately controlled the force of the shaking water, so that the pile of tea leaves at the bottom of the teacup formed a circle.

As a result, even such a deliberately falsified divination result can find the corresponding answer in the book, which shows that this thing has no credibility.

Rather, this method of divination is more suitable for third-rate stalls on the streets, for ordinary people who can only afford a penny in the slums, so that they can have a little more hope in life.

"Open your minds, my dear, and let your gaze go beyond the boundaries of the world!"

Professor Trelawney's voice suddenly rang out, and he walked briskly towards the two of them at the same time.

She probably heard Hermione's words earlier, so she snatched Harley's teacup from Hermione's hand.

The whole class fell silent and watched the scene.

Professor Trelawney stared at the teacup in front of him and turned it in a counterclockwise direction.

"Eagle, still odd-shaped eagle...... Honey, you have a sworn enemy. ”

"It's obvious, everyone knows who Hallie's nemesis is." Hermione scoffed, causing Professor Trelawney to glare at her disapprovingly.

Hallie noticed that Professor Trelawney's hand was shaking, presumably the shape of the tea leaves in the cup had been distorted again.

"Stick, oh dear, you're going to be attacked......"

"Everyone knows that there's a Death Eater out there who is loyal to Voldemort and is trying to attack Harry." Hermione dismantled the stage again, her voice still audible to the class.

But instead of answering her, Professor Trelawney continued to shake the cup quietly and spin it around.

"Skeleton...... There is danger in your path, my dear ......"

"Oh my God, this isn't a pleasant cup ......"

Suddenly, almost everyone looked at Professor Trelawney in amazement, watching her take a deep breath and scream.

Professor Trelawney sat down in an empty armchair next to her, stroking her heart with her ring-covered fingers, her eyes closed.

"My dear child...... Miss Potter...... My poor, dear child...... No...... It's better not to say it...... No...... Don't ask me ......"

Hallie looked at Professor Trelawney speechlessly.

Are you a soothsayer or a fraudster?

When you say this, can you not squint your eyes and observe the reactions of your classmates!

And whether you're a soothsayer or a fraudster, you're not up to par!

If they're all pretending to be ghosts like you, and their professional abilities are so poor, then I'll be able to sell extraordinary traits until I get a soft hand!

The rest of the students didn't know that Professor Trelawney was putting on a show.

The class stood up and approached Professor Trelawney.

Susan and Hannah preemptively put their heads on Hallie's cup to observe the scene.
