Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Professor Trelawney suddenly put his big eyes close to a wizard next to him. That wizard was Neville!

The sudden approach startled Neville and he almost fell off the futon.

"Are you okay, kid? Is your grandma okay?"

Neville said tremblingly: "I'm okay, I, I think my grandma is okay too, right?"

"I wouldn't be so sure if I were you, kid."

Professor Trelawney said, her long emerald necklace sparkling in the firelight.

Neville gasped, his body still afraid of her, but his eyes kept staring at her.

"Professor, do you know something?"

Neville suddenly felt that Professor Trelawney's eyes were full of wisdom. She seemed to be a wise man who could reveal the secrets of the future to him.

Trelawney said: "My child, it is not good for you to know things that are too far away. Even if I have the third eye, even if I can see many unusual things, I often will not choose to say it."

Hermione couldn't help but ask: "Why is this?"

Trelawney suddenly turned to stare at her and said in a very light tone: "Because you can't change fate.

Whenever you want to change your destiny, you will find that destiny will turn again with different gears. "

Hermione frowned: "You mean, even if you say it, your fate can't be changed?"

Trelawney did not answer this sentence, but opened the book: "Okay children, let's go to class first. This year we will learn the basic methods of divination.

In the first semester we concentrated on reading tea leaves, and in the second semester we learned about palm reading, by the way, my dear. "

She suddenly threw a sentence at Parvati Patil who was not far away, "Be wary of a red-haired man."

Parvati looked at Ron sitting behind her in panic, and quickly moved her chair away from him.

Ron, who was forced to be shot innocently:...

He suddenly felt that this course was very unreliable. Taking divination as an elective was probably the biggest mistake he had ever made.

“By the way, in the summer term we started studying the Crystal Ball – I mean, if we had finished Omen of Fire, unfortunately, classes would be closed in February due to a flu and I would lose my voice myself.

Around Easter time, one of us will leave us forever. "

After these words, there was another tense silence.

Then the regular process of watching tea leaves began.

Among them, Professor Trelawney frightened a little wizard again, saying that the thing he feared most would happen on Friday, October 16th.

This made the little wizard tremble instantly.

This atmosphere continues. They brew the tea, fill it with water, and then leave the tea residue inside, exchanging tea cups for their companions to interpret.

Mikel was very active during this period. He often asked Trelawney questions, chirping like a little sparrow.

But Trelawney generally didn't answer his questions and often ignored him.

When Ron saw this scene, he couldn't help complaining: "Does Mikel like prophecies that much?"

Draco raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully: "No, I don't know about the others, but Mikel definitely wants Trelawney to divine him.

Didn't you notice that when Trelawney asked a certain little wizard to do something for him, he would tell him a prophecy? "

Harry asked curiously: "Is this divination reliable?"

Lin Xia said calmly: "It depends on your heart, Harry.

If you believe it, it is reliable. If you don't believe it, then it is unreliable at all. "

Hermione is a classic disbeliever.

“February is flu season, and we get a bunch of wizards and wizards in our school getting colds every February, so it’s not surprising that she would get the flu.

As for the loss of voice, I think this is more like her excuse. She just doesn’t want to go to class! "

Because they didn't know much about Trelawney's character, they were suspicious of Hermione's remarks.

But having said that, Trelawney's performance does make people feel very unreliable.

And she really ignored Mikel the whole time, and she didn't know what Mikel had violated to get this treatment.

Of course, although Trelawney did not ignore Hermione's question, his treatment did not necessarily escalate.

After Hermione asked the tenth question, Trelawney was hesitant and speechless, and then said: "My child, fate is not so clear."

Hermione frowned: "Professor, I just want to know why the same pattern has different interpretations on different occasions, and there can be many interpretations. Isn't this a free mind's proof?"

Trelawny: "My child, this is the charm of divination. In the long river of destiny, you think you have seen everything, but you may be completely wrong."

Hermione: "As long as there is a record, there must be a corresponding explanation."

Trelawney shook his head: "No, child, if you view fate like this, fate will also abandon you... Well, let me see, something good will happen to you recently."

Hermione was not satisfied with this statement.

She felt as if she was forcing the professor, saying that something good would happen to her.

But then, Trelawny asked everyone to open the fifth and sixth pages of the book, "Expand your thinking and let your eyes go beyond the boundaries of the world!"

Lin Xia thought to herself: This slogan reminded her of the comics unearthed from the ruins in her previous life.

In those limited pages, the destined protagonist will say something like this at critical moments, and then burst into powerful combat power.

Lin Xia turned another page.

Unfortunately, reality is never as beautiful as comics.

She compared the pages and looked for patterns in the book. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that the picture formed by the tea leaves was a bit like a scale.

Harry's voice came to my ears: "There is a crooked cross in your cup..."

He compared it to "Looking Through the Clouds and Looking at the Future" and said: "In other words, you will have 'tribulation and pain', oh, no, no, this is more like the shape of a sun, etc., that means great joy …”

Harry concluded: "So, you're going to suffer, but you're going to be very happy."

Ron heard this outrageous divination content and said with a smile: "Harry, I think you need to test whether your third eye is working."

This time it was Ron looking at Harry's tea cup.

Lin Xia had already looked through the patterns written in the book and could not find any similarities in them.

Draco found the pattern, "Does this look like the sun?"

Hermione and Lin Xia glanced at each other and couldn't help but nod. Compared to the sun that Harry mentioned, the pattern in Draco's tea cup looked more like the sun.

Draco said curiously: "Great joy, is something good going to happen to me recently?"

Lin Xia guessed: "Perhaps your researcher authority will be upgraded?"

Draco's eyes lit up and he said in a low voice: "When you say that, it's really possible. I have already accumulated enough points for the few papers I published last semester and the bits and pieces of experiments I did."

Hermione said with envy: "I'm still a long way short of points!"

With the increased authority, she can do a lot of things, and the amount of reading banned books can also be increased, so she can gain more knowledge.

Draco said: "You have already calculated it. Since last semester, we have been able to take on a lot more tasks, and the points can be increased little by little. It was very difficult for outstanding students in the past to add points, and they are far less so than us." convenient."

Lin Xia nodded and said in agreement: "It is very difficult to add points in the first year."

On the other side, Trelawney was impatient with Ron as he read out the pattern of Harry's tea cup, and took it personally to inspect it.

Lin Xia noticed that Mikel almost handed his tea cup to Trelawney, but the professor just ignored him.

A little strange.

Trelawney definitely did this on purpose.

Why doesn’t she want to help Mikel divine?

Or is Mikel's destiny too powerful for her to tell?

Trelawney stared at the cup and turned it counterclockwise.

"Eagle...honey, you have a nemesis."

"This is something everyone knows." Hermione said it deliberately loudly so that everyone could hear it.

Trelawney glared at her.

Hermione said crisply: "Yes, everyone knows about Harry and the mysterious man!"

The other little wizards looked at her with a little admiration. They had never seen Hermione contradict a teacher like this before.

Trelawney lowered his big eyes, continued to look at Harry's teacup, and then turned the teacup around again.

"Bludgeon... an attack. Goodness, this is not a pleasant cup... Skeleton, there's danger on your way, dear..."

Everyone stared blankly at Trelawney, wondering what other shocking words she would say.

Suddenly, there was a scream, followed by the sound of a teacup being broken. That was Neville breaking his second cup.

Professor Trelawney sat down in the armchair, covered his chest with his shiny manicured hands, and closed his eyes.

The scream just now came from her mouth.

"My dear child, my poor child, no, it's better not to say it, don't ask me..."

Everyone was curious about what the tea leaves represented, and a wizard asked: "What on earth is it, Professor?"

Trelawney opened his eyes suddenly, stared at Harry and said, "You are in trouble."

"What is this?" Harry didn't understand.

"Ominous, dear, ominous!" cried Professor Trelawney. "That big, ghastly dog ​​that haunts the churchyard! My dear child, it is an omen—the greatest omen—of death. Bad omen!”

The other little wizards couldn't help but gasp.

Anything that has anything to do with death is scary.

Harry was also worried.

He thought of the dog on the cover of "The Omen of Death" at Flourish and Blott Bookstore, the dog in the shadow of Magnolia Crescent. Both omens were related to dogs, which made him believe Terry. Lawney's prophecy.

Just Hermione.

She walked very calmly to Trelawney's side and looked at Harry's cup, "I don't think it's ominous, Professor."

Trelawny's professor regarded Hermione with growing disgust.

At this time, Mikel also walked around, walked to Hermione, looked at the tea cup, and did not say whether it was auspicious or ominous, but said:

"I think it looks like a big dog, but dogs have many meanings. Professor, are you mistaken?"

Trelawney finally looked at Mikel, but quickly looked away, his lips pursed tightly, and his expression seemed a little cold.

"Forgive me for saying this, dear," she looked at Hermione, "I see that the aura around you is very small, and you don't have much sense of the future."

"As for you," Trelawney didn't even look at Mikel, but everyone knew she was talking about him.

"You, a despicable thief of destiny, are not qualified to see through the future. Things will never go as you wish!"

Lin Xia stared at Trelawney and felt that the professor who said this had a very special expression, very calm, and did not make an exaggerated expression, as if he was just saying an ordinary sentence.

Not like her at all.

Lin Xia whispered to Draco: "Is it that the third eye is activated?"

Draco shook his head solemnly: "No, her third eye is not activated like this."

The reason why they chose the Divination class is that they came here because of its reputation.

Although Trelawney is not a good professor in Hogwarts, she has a great reputation in the outside world.

At least she made the classic prophecy that the Dark Lord would be destroyed, and in fact, everything was as predicted.

Just for this prophecy, it was enough for Dumbledore to keep Trelawney at any cost.

Bloodline is a magical thing. It can always give wizards some incredible abilities, just like the family that Trelawney belongs to, which has always been a family of prophecy.

Uncle Lucius wanted them to try and see if they have the ability to learn, so he specifically told them to take the elective divination class and showed them the famous scene when Trelawney activated the third eye.

Unfortunately, Lin Xia was not there at that time, but Draco saw it.

Lin Xia thought about it and felt that the scene just now was still very special, but if it was not for the third eye, the accuracy of the prophecy would not necessarily be high.

In fact, wizards who are familiar with prophecies will understand that prophecies have two sides.

What wizards see through prophecies is not necessarily correct.

The elements mentioned by wizards in prophecies may all happen, but the results may be completely different.

In other words, the ominous omen of death brought by the dog in Harry's prophecy may be brought to Harry, but it may also be brought to others, for example, it is not certain whether it is brought to this dog.

It is more likely that the dog will appear, suspected of bringing an ominous omen, but in fact it brings hope of life.

And this may be to save Harry's life, or it may be to save his own life.

The river of fate is flowing all the time. Any change in anyone or anything will affect the overall development.

Lin Xia's eyes sank slightly, so this made Trelawney's prediction that time so accurate.

One battle to become a god!

Trelawney lay on the chair, looking extremely tired. In the silence of everyone, she said in a vague voice:

"Today's class ends here, pack up your things..."

Out of awe of the prophecy, no little wizard dared to surround Trelawney.

They left the divination class, and Harry's expression was still very heavy.

Ron clumsily looked for topics to chat with Harry.

Harry responded in a disjointed way, and Hermione suddenly said: "Harry, don't take it to heart, maybe it was a stray dog."

Harry wanted to think so, but his mind was a little uneasy.

He turned his head to look at Lin Xia, and found that Lin Xia was already drinking black tea leisurely.

Oh, yes, considering the dull atmosphere, they decided to sneak into the auditorium to eat something before the next class. (End of this chapter)
