New Divination Teacher?

Matthew Wakefield was slightly surprised...... To be honest, he didn't know much about the divination class, after all, the first and second year students at Hogwarts usually don't come into contact with this course.

Moreover, divination teachers are generally mysterious and do not like to attend school meetings, and Matthew is not very clear about who the previous divination teachers were.

He quickly pricked up his ears and continued eavesdropping on the conversations of the Hufflepuff seniors.

"Who are these new teachers?" the shorter boy continued.

"The new Transfiguration teacher, I don't know ...... yet" and the freckled child, who seemed to know some inside information, said a little triumphantly: "The new Potions teacher is Hector Dagworth-Granger, the founder of the Extraordinary Apothecary Guild, and a potions expert specially hired by Headmaster Grindelwald......"

“...... The new professor of divination is the famous prophetic master Kassandra Trelawney, with whom Headmaster Grindelwald is said to have had a close relationship with when she was young...... All in all, they're all big names!"

Kassandra Trelawney!

The name Matthew is no stranger.

As the freckled boy said, she is a famous prophetic master...... Sybil Trelawney, a Hogwarts divination teacher from another world, is a direct family member of hers, and she has only inherited a little talent for prophecy and has made several prophecies of great significance......

Let such a true prophecy expert come to Hogwarts as a teacher...... Isn't it a bit too condescending?

Or did Gellert Grindelwald have some other purpose?

Just as Matthew was wondering, the Hufflepuff boys seemed to have tried on their clothes, and they huddled together and left.

"It's tried, darling!" said Madame Morkin to Matthew as well.

Matthew nodded absent-mindedly as he jumped off the footstool.

......

The new school uniform still didn't cost a penny, which gave people the feeling that they didn't come to buy a set of clothes that summer before the second grade, and they were a bit of a loss.

Matthew carried several bags of various sizes and strange shapes, and walked down the streets of Diagon Alley.

As the sun gradually rises, the number of pedestrians on the roadway gradually increases.

However, Matthew still feels that this place is not as "prosperous" as it used to be...... You know, he spent two months here last summer, and he knows almost everything about the situation in this lane.

Some familiar shops are also closed, or not open, such as the "Horror Tours" travel agency, which is not responsible for any accidental death or personal injury, and the "bouncing and frolicking magic joke shop" that exclusively sells "hard fireworks", a unique type of magic firecracker...... In addition, there is a "Florin Cold Drink Shop"!

To be honest, the "Horror Tour" travel agency and the "Jumping and Frolicking Magic Joke Shop" Matthew don't care much, after all, they don't have much to do with him, and the "Florin Cold Drink Shop" is not quite the same-

Last summer, Matthew enjoyed reading a book and sipping ice cream under the brightly coloured umbrellas at Florin's cold drink shop......

And now, the parasol is crooked to the side? The color on it is also a little faded? The door of the shop was closed, leaving almost no cracks.

Matthew frowned slightly? I ran to a bookstore across the street.

"Sir? Excuse me—" found the owner of the bookstore, and he asked politely? "What's the deal with the 'Florin Cold Drink Shop' across the street, is it closed?

The owner of a bookstore? His face changed suddenly.

He looked around with some vigilance? Then he whispered:

"Florin was caught in Azkaban...... It is said that he had an affair with a dark wizard...... Don't ask around about it, be careful to catch you up......"

As he spoke, he waved his hand vigorously at Matthew and drove him out!

"Azkaban again......" Matthew whispered.

Between Mr. Florin and the Order of the Phoenix? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with it.

He didn't want to ask anything more.

Found a nice, shady spot around? Placing all the packages in his hands on the ground, he began to wait......

Because he had made an appointment with Hermione and Neville to meet here.

......

Matthew didn't have to wait long, and Hermione Granger and Neville Longbottom arrived.

They also seemed surprised to look at the closed doors of Florin's cold drink shop.

Matthew shouting their names? They had just discovered him.

"What's going on?" asked Hermione quietly as she glanced at the cold drink shop.

"Mr. Florin is said to have been imprisoned in Azkaban...... Having an affair with a dark wizard......" Matthew shrugged? Said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

"It's the Dark Wizard again......" Neville grimaced, "as if it were a panacea......

"Let's find a quiet place to talk...... "Matthew picked up the package from the ground? Hermione and Neville each helped him lift a few.

They left the crowded streets and found a more remote teahouse.

The three of them sat at a small round table in the corner—

"Matthew? How have you been doing?" asked Neville, with some concern.

"Not bad, right......" Matthew replied lightly? At the same time he asked. "What's going on in the outside world lately?"

Frankly? After working as a temporary worker at Duke Honey's candy store for more than a month, Matthew had almost zero knowledge of the changes in the outside world...... After all, customers come to the candy store to buy candy, not to chat.

Only in the evening, when drinking butterbeer on two broomsticks, can one occasionally hear three or two wizards talking about current affairs...... However, it has become less and less recently, and it seems that not talking about current affairs has become the consensus of the vast majority of wizards outside!

Matthew didn't care about it, because even if he knew about it, it wouldn't make any difference...... So there's no need to bother asking about anything.

And Matthew believes that Neville and Hermione will definitely go around for news-

"It sucks!" Neville sighed, his voice so low that Matthew could only hear it by looking down:

"The Minister of Magic became Pierce Hinkenes, but many people say he's just a puppet, the real master, we all know ......"

“...... And they're trying to change the International Wizarding Secrecy Act, and it probably won't be long ......," Neville continued to whisper.
