Zhang Xiao completed the preparations for each trip to the headmaster's office with ease, just like an unknown Slytherin headmaster, the Potions professor concocting the water of life and death.

Everything was subconscious, but magic faithfully carried out his wishes.

After he was all done, Zhang Xiao realized that his behavior was inappropriate.

Dumbledore may not care, it doesn't matter when there are only two people, but when there are others.

This behavior was a bit disrespectful to Dumbledore and kicked his nose in the face.

If there is a mistake, change it, Zhang Xiao immediately looked at Dumbledore, wanting to express his apology.

Unexpectedly, Dumbledore secretly winked at him.

"Harry, Draco, it seems that Zhang has done some work for me, young people are always so positive and energetic"

Dumbledore gestured to them and motioned for them to sit down.

He himself walked behind the high-backed chair where he used to sit, and pointed at each other, as if thinking about something.

Zhang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt that the principal's office was too quiet today, and then found that all the portraits were pretending to be asleep.

Even his 'fan' Phineas Nigelles Black fakes to sleep in a very elegant pose.

But the portraits' fluttering eyebrows and ears suggest that they are still interested in what happens next.

Dumbledore lowered his hand, his azure eyes looking at Harry and Malfoy, who were a little nervous, and pushed the candy box in their direction.

To put it mildly, I joked:

"Don't be so nervous, unless you think this is scarier than Professor Snape's confinement cell."

Harry relaxed a bit, because of Zhang Xiao, the young savior did not become a regular visitor to the headmaster's office as in the original book.

"Professor, here—" Harry cocked his finger around, "it's beautiful, and it's the funniest office I've ever seen." ”

Malfoy nodded, following the example of his father when he chatted with the Minister of Magic, trying to make himself more formal and mature:

"Yes, Dear Headmaster Dumbledore, the setting here is full of unique charm—"

Dumbledore was amused by Malfoy's appearance, and a wise old man must have thought it amused to see the child pretending to be a little adult, so he laughed with great joy.

The long white beard also trembled, and he said seriously:

"Thank you for your comments and appreciation, Mr. Draco Malfoy."

Malfoy was stunned, and a blush suddenly appeared on his pale face, which was excited.

He opened his mouth to say something very decent, but when he got to his lips, all that was left was a mosquito: "Thank you."

Tsk tsk, Zhang Xiao remembered that the usual group of pure-bloods called 'Old Biden', "Old Immortal" and "Old Fool", such as the former Malfoy family.

But once Dumbledore was willing to give him a little face and respect, it was like the sun was shining.

"Alright, let's talk about some others, Harry, Draco."

Dumbledore didn't know if he forgot or did it on purpose, but he didn't mention Zhang Xiao's name.

The two little ones hurriedly sat down and expressed their attentive listening.

"You say Professor Trelawney was not quite right before he fell unconscious, and said a lot of strange things?"

"Yes, yes, Professor she became weird and terrifying!"

"Professor Trelawney's eyes are turning faster than Hogsmeade's waterwheel!"

"She seems to have become a 'zombie' in the East, as if her joints can't be turned!"

"Professor Trelawney's voice is even more terrifying than a mandrake!"

Dumbledore listened carefully, even though Professor Trelawney was about to turn into a monster during Harry and Malfoy's story, but he didn't interrupt them.

Zhang Xiao is the same, sitting quietly drinking hot tea, when he was young, he didn't know how to take care of his stomach, and he drank ice every day when he was young, and he didn't know that he was guilty when he was older.

The two didn't know what Trelawney had done, but they knew it well, and Trelawney's prediction was obviously not a good thing. 、

If you tell it in front of Harry and Malfoy, you don't know how much panic it will cause, so the right thing to do is to pretend you don't know anything.

Wait for Harry and Malfoy to go and talk to Dumbledore one-on-one.

Eventually, Malfoy and Harry were able to finish their story, but they were too frightened to fully remember what Trelawney was talking about.

Instead, they messed together weird and jumbled sentences.

But just these messy words made Dumbledore's face gradually solemn, he pondered for a while, and nodded slowly:

"Hmm- thank you, Harry Draco, thank you for the description, very- very detailed."

Well said, don't say it again next time.

Harry and Malfoy couldn't help but smile on their faces.

"By the way, I have a small request here," Dumbledore's blue eyes as the sea calmly looked at the two young wizards.

Said sincerely and softly:

"Things about Professor Trelawney, including what she said. Can you keep it a secret? ”

Secrecy? Harry looked at Dumbledore in astonishment, why keep it a secret? Could it be that what Trelawney said—what was thought to be a fantasy and impossible—was true?

For a moment, Harry's heart actually swelled with great horror, which made him a little flustered, and he actually forgot to respond.

At this moment, Malfoy's voice came from the side, still with the indifference of 'seeing through everything' and the confidence of the Malfoy family:

"Yes, of course, Professor Dumbledore, Professor Trelawney is also a teacher at Hogwarts anyway, if such a ridiculous thing gets out.

This is undoubtedly a big blow to the reputation of the school, as a student of Hogwarts, and as a member of the board of directors of the Malfoy family, I have an unshirkable responsibility to maintain the reputation of Hogwarts! ”

Be. Is that so?

Harry thought about it for a moment and thought that Malfoy's statement really made sense!

Thinking about Trelawney's horrible appearance at that time, Harry felt that if he were a parent, he would not want his children to face such teachers.

"Don't worry, Professor Dumbledore, we'll keep it a secret!" Harry nodded firmly.

Dumbledore didn't know why Malfoy had such thoughts, and he didn't understand where such a strong sense of ownership came from.

But apparently Malfoy has solved a lot of problems that need to be covered up.

"Yes, that's what I thought, Mr. Malfoy, and you're right."

Dumbledore nodded in relief, and he naturally continued:

"So—you two, would you like to experience the Phoenix's flame movement?"

"Wow——! Really, professor? ”

Zhang Xiao felt as if the entire headmaster's room had brightened up a little, and it was the 'light' from Harry and Malfoy's eyes.

"Smack" Dumbledore snapped his fingers and shouted with a smile, "Fawkes!" ”

The gold shelf next door pretended to be asleep and hoped that Dumbledore would forget about himself, Fawkes slowly raised his head, and quickly sent a message to Zhang Xiao with his golden pupils.

'When will this old man and thief come back from that beautiful Qingluan?' ’

Fawkes raised his tail feathers, and a little spark appeared all around, accompanied by the golden red phoenix flames, and the two little wizards were enveloped in two flames with novelty and excitement.

A crisp cry sounded, the fire shone brightly, and the figures of the two had disappeared into the principal's room.

Completely forgot that Zhang Xiao was still here.

It was at this moment that the portraits on the wall seemed to suddenly come to life together, stretching their waists and making a bustling sound:

"Finally gone, I almost can't hold back a sneeze—"

"Why do we have to pretend to be asleep, we are already movable portraits?"

"If he sees the former Headmaster of Hogwarts as such an inquisitive bag, I'm sure they'll be disappointed."

"That's Harry Potter, right? I didn't have a portrait outside, it was the first time I saw him, it was very good and very energetic. ”

Phineas touched his little beard:

"That is the heir of the Malfoy family's generation? Narcissa's child? I always feel like it doesn't look like a Slytherin before."

He slapped his face and said in surprise:

"It feels a bit like Zhang!"

Zhang Xiaole listened to the portraits chatting, they can always say a lot of things they don't know, presumably their owners don't know how much they instilled when they painted the portraits.

"Okay, don't argue, it's important to get down to business."

A tall, thin headmaster with a conical hat said solemnly:

"What we need to pay attention to now is the prophecy—"

His words stopped abruptly, and he blinked, but he suddenly remembered that Zhang Xiao didn't seem to know the prophecy that Strawney had made, nor did he know the importance of this prophecy.

"Dumbledore, the first thing we need to do now is to find this prophecy orb and listen to the specific prophecy, if it is really what the young wizards are talking about—it will be too bad."

Dumbledore hesitated, not knowing whether to tell Zhang Xiao about Trelawney, if things were okay in general, it was obvious that Trelawney had predicted something terrible this time.

was thinking about it, but I heard Zhang Xiao on the other side of the table say slowly:

"Professor. You once said that prophecy is based on the present moment, and you are extremely lucky to look into the future."

With a slight wave of his hand, the water in the kettle suddenly floated, forming a small river in the air, and some small crystal clear fish made of water jumped and floated in the small river.

"Professor, the past cannot be changed, the future cannot be predicted, this is what you told me, if we live in this river, and the so-called prophecy is a small fish jumping out of the water"

A small fish suddenly jumped to its feet, even if the next second it fell back into the water again.

"When it jumped out of the water, it saw the future flow of the river, so this is a prophecy?"

Dumbledore was silent, just staring intently at the small river in the air that had formed under the influence of magic.

"The past cannot be changed, the future cannot be predicted, can I understand that this river cannot go upstream, even if the past is there, but we cannot go back, and the future cannot be predicted

It's because what we're experiencing is like grass in the river, the direction in which the fish swim, no one knows, and the fish that jumps out of the water can't see it. ”

Zhang Xiao's voice gradually lowered, and the expression on his face became more and more serious and serious, and he took out the jade silk with the prophecy recorded and put it on the table.

Single-handedly, at this moment, more and more things that he had experienced before floated in his mind.

The mechanism of the Daomen Conferral Examination was changed for no reason, and only one of them obtained the qualification to walk.

There is also the sudden movement of the lock dragon well, the old heavenly master announced that the chaos is coming, and the parents complained that the world has suddenly changed.

And what exactly are those catastrophes that Slytherin wrote about before and after the most important ones?

If that's the trend, if Trelawney really jumped out of the water at Harry's urging.

The future cannot be predicted, but the general direction of the river is.

It's interesting to know that in the microcosm, a lot of things can be described as magical, and if everyone in the world is a particle in the microcosm, they are unpredictable.

But when all human beings come together and become aggregates in the macrocosm, then it can be observed.

This is prophecy!

That's the truth!

Zhang Xiao only felt that he had never seen it so clearly, but Trelawney made a prediction, but let him combine what he saw, and he approached the truth little by little.

He looked at Dumbledore and said word by word:

"Professor, you're right, the future is unpredictable, but the future is certain!"

The entire principal's room fell silent, and the portraits fell silent again, they looked at Zhang Xiao in amazement, as if they didn't understand what he was talking about.

But Dumbledore's blue eyes were unusually bright, he looked at Zhang Xiao, and Zhang Xiao looked at him without fear.

If the river wants to change course, then let Dumbledore, one of the biggest fish, use his own head to arch a new course!

Fingers gently brushed over the jade silk.

Zilazila—Trelawney's strange deformed voice rang out again, filling the silent Headmaster's room:

"Fate. An inescapable fate is coming.

This is an irreversible fate. Darkness is condensing.

Desire is twisting. The box is about to be opened.

No one can escape, and everyone will be caught up in it. The brave man who destroys and destroys loneliness is almost unable to hold on.

He was the bravest one. Pathetic. The hero's tragedy has begun to play. No one knows his exploits

The Dark Lord covets this twisted power. But they never understood that this was self-defeating.

You. No—"

Zhang Xiao's face flicked his fingers without changing color, this grunt pinched don't broadcast!

1. Commuter pass 2. Recommended ticket

The content of this chapter is very important, by the way, the end is set first, there is no god and demon war that everyone is worried about, some ancient gods and so on, but in the end it must be an unprecedented big scene, and it will be presented in a way that I think is very reasonable and very interesting.

My purpose has always been to complete the worldview of HP, so that the whole world becomes more logical and complete, not to write about the protagonist who becomes a god and destroys the world, and ancient things must be mentioned, which is a rich worldview that cannot be bypassed, such as a reasonable logical extension from ancient times to the present.

But at most, I will take it at the end, and write a few chapters about what happened in ancient times.

So this chapter is really important, an important foreshadowing.

That's it, Resby!
