Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts

The next morning, Daphne, Astoria and Les came to the auditorium and had breakfast together, just like they had done in the past five years.

"Les, I didn't realize you were so gifted in public speaking." Daphne spread butter on her bread while chatting with Les.

"The voice from the heart is always deafening." Les told Daphne that almost every word in his speech was true.

"I just didn't expect Malfoy to be so courageous and dare to talk back to Les in that state." Astoria said thoughtfully.

Les glanced at her, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Last night, when he cast a spell on Malfoy, he deliberately suppressed his magic power and deliberately controlled the fluctuations of magic power. Now it seems that his control over magic power has improved, while Daphne and Astoria, who did not notice the difference, still need to practice hard.

"This guy has always been like this. I've been annoyed with him for a long time." Daphne's mouth was full of bread, fried eggs and bacon, but she was still trying to express her opinion of Malfoy.

She wanted to find a chance to beat up Malfoy.

The three of them did not continue to talk about Malfoy, but turned the topic to the schedule of this semester.

"Fifth graders have to prepare for O.W.L.s. exams. It won't take up too much of our time, right?" Astoria complained while looking at her schedule.

She felt that instead of wasting time on these boring courses, it would be better to spend some time hunting evil spirits.

Recently, the frequency of evil spirits slipping out of the underworld has been increasing. Without special targeted means, these dark creatures will not really die in the world, but will return to the underworld to absorb power. After the power is restored to a certain extent, they will be resurrected in the underworld.

Then it will be their turn to come back.

"I got all excellent grades in the exams last year. Don't lose the face of the Greengrass family." Daphne said proudly.

Astoria narrowed her eyes, "Sister, are you questioning my ability?"

"I can't get [excellent], which only means that there is a problem with the questions." Astoria said with great confidence.

Astoria, who is extremely powerful and has a domain, has the confidence to say such things.

Of course, it is a bit too abstract for wizards from two fields to compare their O.W.L.s test scores here.

"There will be some changes in the test mode this year. If you do enough of those 'tasks', some test items will be exempted." Les remembered that his old friends seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with the test methods of the modern magic world, and it is estimated that this year they will take the opportunity to promote the new O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T test mode.

At that time, the interview will not be so important. After all, candidates can prove their ability with the completed tasks.

A warrior who is good at chopping off the heads of evil spirits can let Pineapple dance across the long table, but the reverse is not necessarily true.

Les's comfort was effective, and Astoria soon stopped paying attention to the test. She was more curious about another thing now.

"I went to the divination class with Les. Sister, do you have classes in the morning?"

Daphne: ...

It's bad, why didn't she think of it? While becoming Les's "senior", she also lost the opportunity to take classes with Les!

"I--"

"Don't skip classes. I saw your schedule. You have a potion class this morning. You should learn more about potion science. Professor Snape has a very solid foundation. You should learn from him. Also, maintain discipline for me." Rice saw that Daphne seemed to have some inappropriate thoughts, so he quickly stopped her and forcibly sent Daphne to the basement classroom of the potion class.

The reason for doing this is that Snape is really capable. Rice believes that Daphne can indeed learn valuable knowledge from him.

Now Daphne has entered the sixth grade. The content of the potion class is no longer a common thing like swelling potion, but a high-end potion like aphrodisiac. For every class, Hogwarts' teaching funds are burning-the money spent on a potion class in the sixth grade is enough for the whole school to eat and drink for a week.

The second reason is related to the course arrangement. In order to reduce the teaching pressure of professors, many courses are taught by students from two colleges together, and after the fifth year, four colleges are taught together. This means that Slytherin will have to study potions in the same room with Gryffindor.

Rice had just given a speech last night, and naturally he hoped that the students in the college could be a real Slytherin as he said in his speech.

It is normal that they cannot achieve a big change all at once, but Rice also hopes that they can "understand the spirit of the meeting" and stop causing trouble in the school.

As for the person who can intensify the conflict with Gryffindor College the most, needless to say? It must be Malfoy. So Rice needs Daphne to help him control the situation.

He must not allow anyone to stand up and openly violate his own ideas at this point in time.

After the "lounge speech", the Slytherin students who still don't stop will be severely punished!

With these two reasons, how could Rice allow Daphne to skip the potions class? So he warned Daphne in a very stern tone that she must go to the potions class obediently today.

But Daphne was not frustrated because Rice assigned her a task!

She will definitely perfectly carry out the supervision task assigned by Rice.

Daphne left happily. Astoria looked at her sister's back with complicated eyes and couldn't help sighing.

"Les, my sister..."

"It's okay, it's just a phenomenon of atavism. Muggles have studied this, and the specific manifestation is..." Les was in a very open-minded mood.

In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with Daphne being like her ancestors. Because Godric's heir position was still vacant, Les had some ideas.

Admittedly, he didn't want Daphne to be Godric's heir at first. Because it was not in line with the rules, and the child's talent was indeed amazing.

But now his mind has changed a little.

Godric seems to have a good relationship with Daphne. She can learn more knowledge from him and make faster progress. I can't block the child's future because of my own selfishness.

As for the so-called "rules", Hogwarts is now in a stage of change, and some old rules do not necessarily need to be followed.

Of course, in addition to these obvious reasons that can be said, Les thinks that Daphne can become the heir of Gryffindor for another reason.

The heir of Gryffindor is from Slytherin, so isn't that a win for me?

This is equivalent to merging the two colleges into one in disguise, and Slytherin is annexing Gryffindor. From now on, Slytherin and Gryffindor are two colleges on the surface, but in fact they are one family at the level of heirs!

Rice was so excited just thinking about it.

This is the "right to interpret" the Gryffindor spirit. To put it bluntly, when all four of these old guys die or leave Hogwarts, what exactly is the Gryffindor spirit? Isn't it up to Daphne and her successor to decide?

If you are a little more ruthless, you can even directly confuse the Gryffindor spirit with the chivalry spirit, and then inject the traditional aristocratic spirit of Western Europe, and directly make Gryffindor College a college that advocates bloodline - although Rice will not let Daphne do this.

Only a careless guy like Godric would make such a "mistake".    Apart from this little dark thought, Daphne can really be said to be an excellent heir of Gryffindor, which Les deeply understands.

Astoria didn't know that her sister's fate had quietly changed at this moment. She was attracted by the "atavism phenomenon" mentioned by Les. After figuring out what it was, she couldn't help laughing.

The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the divination classroom.

There were already many people waiting below the classroom. Les heard someone complaining about the divination teacher Sybil Trelawney.

"Professor Trelawney must be very disappointed, because she kept telling us last year that she had foreseen Les' death."

"I wonder how she will make up for her prediction this year?"

"As if she had never said anything?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Les almost laughed out loud.

Unexpectedly? Professor Trelawney's prediction was actually correct. He did experience death once the year before, but that time he took the initiative to embrace death and ushered in a new life, just like the nirvana of the phoenix.

I wonder if Professor Trelawney saw herself resurrected when she was peeking into the future? If she could, she would be a god.

Astoria whispered in Les' ear, telling him that Daphne was furious when she heard Trelawney made a prediction about Les' death.

If she and Cedric hadn't arrived in time, Hogwarts Castle might have lost a tower forever.

"Oh? Tell me in detail?" Les' curiosity was ignited, and he asked Astoria to tell him about the situation at that time.

"It's like this..." Astoria told Les everything.

Les laughed so hard that his waist couldn't stand up straight after listening.

"Divination is risky!" He said with a smile. The people of the Trelawney family are really miserable. Few people will believe their predictions, even if the predictions are correct.

However, Daphne's actions also touched Les: Although this child seems to be missing a brain most of the time, he is still a good person.

Eh? Isn't this Godric's personality?

As they chatted and laughed, the trapdoor of the Divination Classroom was moved open, and the young wizards walked into the circular classroom one by one.

As soon as he walked in, Les looked around and took a look at the classroom.

Sure enough, the walls, floors and ceilings were brand new. The glass on the windows was also replaced. Although there were still some shelves by the wall, there were fewer divination utensils on them, and it was obvious that they had just been bought.

As for Professor Trelawney, when she appeared, she was like Professor Quirrell, wrapping her head with a thick turban that smelled of medicine.

She was also hiding something.

But Professor Quirrell was hiding Voldemort on the back of his head, while Professor Trelawney was hiding her bald back of the head - Daphne's magical flame not only burned all her hair, but also restricted the growth of new hair, so that no matter what hair growth potion she used, Professor Trelawney's head was still bald.

If you want to have beautiful hair again, you may have to awaken your domain, or wait patiently for more than ten years.

Looking at the big turban, the expression on Rice's face suddenly went out of control.

"Welcome." Although she had lost her hair, Professor Trelawney's voice was still ethereal.

"Especially you, my dear child." To Rice's surprise, Professor Trelawney walked straight up to him and showed a seemingly unfathomable smile.

"I once foresaw your death in the crystal ball..." Professor Trelawney's ethereal voice echoed in the classroom that seemed a little empty.

Astoria, who was standing behind Rice, lowered her eyes.

She didn't expect Professor Trelawney to be so "stubborn" and dared to predict her death in advance in front of everyone.

Wasn't Rice standing here? ! How dare she? Shouldn't it be handled coldly and treated as nothing happened? Students are forgetful. No one remembers this matter even after half a semester.

She couldn't figure it out.

"I have tried various divination methods, but the results have never changed..." Trelawney continued, "Until later, I saw your rebirth in divination. You will embrace death and bathe in rebirth - congratulations, my child, you succeeded."

Astoria's eyes widened. She didn't expect Trelawney to be able to round this thing up. Those students who still chose to believe in divination were extremely excited.

Les looked at Professor Trelawney with a smile on her face, with mixed feelings.

On the surface, this was a liar's sophistry after the scam was exposed, but in fact, what she said was really right, which made Les a little uncertain.

Did she see her resurrection? Les felt that unless he used truth serum or Legilimency, he would not be able to get the answer to this question.

He didn't want to use these on the descendant of a prophet. Because there should be a certain degree of respect for fate.

After a simple "reminiscence" with Les, Trelawney started today's divination class with satisfaction.

When it came to the practical part, Les followed the instructions to light the herbs one by one and threw them into the small charcoal stove in front of him. He wanted to burn the femur of the cockatrice inside, and then use the cracks to tell fortunes.

The flames rose, wrapped around the bones, and smoke rose.

Rice suddenly opened his eyes wide: he felt a trace of unusual rhythm. He was very familiar with this rhythm, which was the fluctuation of fate he felt in the parallel world.

The smoke in front of him seemed to really attract the power of fate!
