Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 269 Divination Class

"Don't argue with her, it's pointless."

Ron quietly pulled an excited Harry under the table. Fortunately, Harry didn't really yell in public. He was also grateful to Professor Hemmer. It was precisely because of his teaching that Harry's devil didn't cause trouble at this time.

.

But it doesn’t seem right to say that, because the devil was taught to Harry by Professor Heimer from the beginning, but it doesn’t matter!

As long as Harry doesn't actually say Sirius' name.

"I know." After Trelawney turned around, Harry whispered: "I just don't like her way of divination. It's not clear at all. It always feels like she is deliberately cursing me."

Ron couldn't refute this - Trelawny liked students to divine tragedies in themselves, everyone knew this.

It is precisely for this reason that Professor Heimer's ancient magic class has become so popular - because he teaches students not only divination of tragedies, but also good luck.

This is something Trelawny has never taught them, and probably can't do it.

"Crystal ball." Trelawney faced the students and said: "This was originally a course that should be left behind, but due to the actions of some incompetent professors, I think you should have a good look at it in advance. What?

That’s called real divination.”

There is no doubt that these remarks were directed at Professor Heimer. As early as a few months ago, some students said that they had personally seen Trelawney go to Principal Dumbledore to complain, saying that he wanted to drive him away.

There is no need to go to such trouble and have to hire another person to take your place.

I don’t know how Principal Dumbledore did it. He didn’t let Trelawney leave Hogwarts, and Professor Hemmer didn’t stop his lectures.

Overall, these two people are very difficult to deal with.

It's just that Trelawney is probably the only one who is dissatisfied with Professor Highmore. As for Professor Highmore himself, no one thinks that he really cares about Trelawney's feelings, and he certainly isn't targeting her intentionally - he was very angry with Snape.

What you do is called targeting. Has anyone ever seen someone call someone out for a fight during class?

No matter what, Trelawney was obviously determined to let the students see what he was really capable of.

"There is a crystal ball on each of your desks," she said. "Divide into groups of two. Then, what I ask you to do is not to divine what will happen to you, but to another person.

Observe your reflection in the crystal ball - remember to rotate the ball clockwise three times and then observe."

"Now, let's get started."

The students silently followed Professor Trelawney's method - this method of divination still sounds very novel. After all, even Professor Hemmer has never taught a method of divination for others. Otherwise, if he does this

, the results will become very inaccurate, and the results will almost never be the same out of ten times.

It is precisely because of this increase in difficulty that Harry and the three of them were surprised when they accidentally obtained such consistent predictions about Sirius some time ago.

This has never happened, it's that simple.

"Want to try it?" Ron suggested.

Harry withdrew his gaze from Professor Trelawney's back. She was instructing the table of Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil to rotate the crystal ball three times in the correct way.

"Who comes first?" Harry asked, turning his head.

"Get better first." Ron said nonchalantly.

So, Harry turned the crystal ball three times, sat up straight, and stared directly at Ron reflected in the crystal ball.

The two eyes looked at each other in silence for a while.

"Did you find anything?" Ron asked curiously.

Harry shook his head. He couldn't see anything except the real picture. He might as well take this time to play the recorder a few times. It is estimated that making the runes dance would be much more reliable than this method of divination.

"Expand your thoughts!" Trelawney repeated her words again: "Let your vision transcend the boundaries of the world! The Third Eye, this is the key, try to find it!"

"I hope Luna can make a pair of celestial glasses." Hermione on the table next to her came over and whispered: "Then we really don't need to take this class again."

Harry and Ron looked at her in surprise. Such words were not common from Hermione's mouth.

Some time ago, due to some reasons that Hermione has been unwilling to say, she gave up the Divination class for a while, so Trelawney only said the words "Welcome students who have returned from their lost ways" when they met her.

It seemed that that period of time made Hermione figure it out, and she really felt that she shouldn't waste her time on such a meaningless course.

The most annoying thing is that hard work alone is not enough, talent also has to be looked at - this is very different from the divination taught by Professor Heimer.

At this time, Trelawney suddenly turned around and stared directly at the three students who were talking secretly.

I don't know if she heard what Hermione said quietly, but she walked directly towards the three of them and glanced back and forth twice. The look reminded Harry of Draco's pet Virgil and hunting.

It's no different.

After a brief moment of silence, Trelawney seemed to be planning to save the more delicious meal for later.

So she looked at Hermione's table and said, "Anything new?"

She didn't say "honey," and all three noticed that.

"No." Hermione said as if she was resisting something, her eyes filled with distrust: "I didn't see anything, probably because I don't have a Third Eye."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became colder. The students looked over one after another. Ron and Harry opened their mouths in surprise - what happened to Hermione? Why has there been such a big change?

Trelawney stared at Hermione silently, and it was obvious that she was very angry.

"If you are more willing to learn those inferior divination-"

"That's not bad!" Hermione suddenly said loudly: "At least it gave the correct result!"

Neville, who was sitting opposite Hermione, took a breath. He secretly hid the memory ball in his robe more tightly. By the way, when he found out that Hermione was in a group with him, he voluntarily gave up using his memory.

The plan of ball divination was to take the initiative to change the correct crystal ball back - he didn't want to offend the mini version of Dean McGonagall just because of this trivial matter.

In fact, ever since they learned that Hermione was selected as a student to teach Dean McGonagall, many people had secretly called her that.

"Wood also successfully divined the weather during training." Harry whispered, wanting to help Hermione give more useful examples.

But he soon regretted doing so.

As if she had been waiting for him to speak on his own initiative - almost at the same time, Trelawney immediately turned his head and stared at him.

"It seems you all think that man's evil ways are more effective."

She said in an angry tone she had never seen before: "Why doesn't anyone understand - evil, the way he uses it is evil - contrary to common sense, this has always been a sign of evil in magic, why can't you see it?

Woolen cloth?"

"Wow." Ron opened his mouth and said, "We have worked together for more than two years. Do you realize this now?"

This is a secret that everyone knows, not to mention Ron, who has been in contact with the devil. Anyone who says that Professor Heimer is an extremely kind person will refute him.

Ron's words made all the students in the classroom laugh - except Neville.

"Professor Heimer is a good man!" he declared loudly, but unfortunately his voice was drowned in laughter.

Trelawny became angrier.

"Okay." She roared, and everyone thought she was really going to get angry. Even Ron felt annoyed because of the words he just subconsciously uttered.

"Then let us see today who is the real prophet - Harry, dear, can you sit over here?"

Harry stood up blankly, why did this have anything to do with him again?

It couldn't be because Trelawney had already wanted to do this - try to make his fortune worse?

Well, although Trelawney's eagerness to confront Professor Highmore shocked the students, when she actually wanted to do so, everyone's eyes widened, and even Hermione wanted to see it.

Let's see how Trelawney plans to prove himself.

Harry could only stand in front of the classroom obediently, facing everyone, wishing he could take another elective course now, even if it was to stay with Hagrid and the Fire Dragon.

No, it's better to just have fire dragons.

With Hagrid around, the fire dragon would only become more dangerous, and it would be impossible to pacify it at all.

Trelawney was standing behind Harry. She said in an announcing tone: "Unknown! This is the sign I saw from Mr. Potter in the first class of school. Now, I am going to

Everything I see will be shown to you.”

Why is it unknown again?

If Trelawney hadn't mentioned it, Harry would have almost forgotten about it.

What's wrong with him is unknown.

Sirius was not the murderer, but was framed. This alone eliminated Harry's biggest threat.

Voldemort might count, but no one knows where he is hiding now, and Professor Highmore and Principal Dumbledore are also helping Harry. He thinks this is one of the most powerful wizards in the world.

With them here, what could happen to Harry?

Hermione understood something.

From the beginning of this lesson, Trelawney told Harry that what he was worried about was about to happen.

It seems that Trelawny has long planned to prove his ability in this class, and it is related to Harry's unknown situation.

In full view of everyone, Harry saw Trelawney place a intact crystal ball in front of him, then she turned her back to the students and stared at Harry's reflection in the crystal ball.

Ron craned his neck to look, Hermione simply stood up to watch, and the students sitting behind also came forward, fearing that they would miss any scene.

"Do I know what will be revealed in the divination later?" Harry asked abruptly, his tone seemed a little nervous.

Hermione and Ron looked at each other silently. They both knew what Harry was worried about - it would be terrible if Sirius suddenly appeared in the classroom. Logically speaking, he was dead in everyone's eyes.

The person who died is unlikely to be Harry's unknown person, and the mere fact that he came back from the dead is shocking enough.

"It depends on what you're worried about."

Trelawney's answer made Harry even more uneasy.

She turned the crystal ball three times with her fingers under the eyes of everyone, and then, just a few seconds later, exclamations came one after another in the classroom.

——

"So, let me think about it carefully - the result of Professor Trelawney's divination for you is that you become a prefect of Slytherin House? Is this even your [unknown]?"

It was now the next ancient magic class. Toby was standing on the podium, and Al was staring at Harry sitting underneath with interest. His face looked absurd and uneasy.

"Yes, Professor." Ron on the side couldn't help laughing: "Everyone knows that Harry is from Gryffindor House, but she deliberately made this result - it's a bit like prearranged

Okay, just to grab people’s attention - Hey, why are you blaming me?"

Hermione tried her best to keep her head down, pretending as if nothing had happened.

"Five points from Gryffindor." Toby said coldly: "As punishment for slandering the professor, Mr. Weasley. I don't want to hear similar words in my class again - related to Professor Snape.

Neither will it.”

I don't know why he singled out Snape, probably because it was possible before that, and anyone could complain about Snape in front of him without being punished.

Ron's face was as red as a red-hot iron furnace, and he didn't dare to say anything anymore.

"About Professor Trelawney's divination." Toby was silent for a while, and Al turned his head and whispered to him quietly.

"No." Toby seemed to be answering Al and giving a reply to the students: "I don't think that was deliberately made up. Professor Trelawney would not do that."

Because he felt that Trelawney was obviously more incompetent than cheating.

Of course, there is no need to say this to the students.

Toby added: "But no one should be worried about this now. There is no doubt that Harry is a Gryffindor, and no one can change that, let alone become a prefect or something like that - I

I'm not doubting your ability, Mr. Potter, it's just that - forget it about Slytherin House. From the current point of view, it is not suitable for you."

Harry had a strange expression on his face, and he couldn't tell for a moment whether Professor Heimer was praising himself or roundly saying that he was not smart enough and was almost like a fool.

However, if it were Professor Heimer, he would have already thought of countless reasons to escape when he was called to the front of the classroom.

After all, who would want the image of themselves becoming another house prefect to be made public?

As for whether this is Harry's inner fear and unknown

To be honest, ever since he was reminded by Principal Dumbledore that the Rune Snake might really be his devil.

After that, Harry was a little confused.
