The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Evans wiped his monocle and said, "Aren't you curious about your own destiny at all? In my eyes, such an ethereal thing as destiny has its traces."

Tom laughed, "What a coincidence, in my eyes, the future is also crystal clear!"

Tom looked at Evans seriously. He felt that this man did not look like a liar, but his behavior reeked of low-end deception. If after a while he says again: ominous, bloody disaster, omen of death, it would feel so right!

First give me a small profit, then offer free physical examination, and finally say you have a big problem with your body. If you replace your petty profits with butterbeer, replace your free physical examination with a free divination, and replace your physical problems with your destiny, wouldn't it be very consistent with the process? Evans's approach is similar to that of those who sell health care products at the entrance of the community.

Evans doesn't seem to understand Legilimency, otherwise he would definitely jump up and give Tom a hard fight: Who do you think I am?

But when he took out his divination equipment, Tom still had the urge to leave directly: Evans took out a crystal ball, a turtle shell, six ancient coins, a sand table and a pen, and A small incense burner holding a bunch of herbs.

"Your divination method is a bit complicated..." Tom couldn't help complaining. This set combines at least five divination methods, including Chinese and Western styles, and even a little bit of the African continent.

Evans also looked a little embarrassed. He adjusted his monocle and said that these seemed tedious, but they were necessary steps.

So he began to divine for Tom.

He first placed the coins on the herbs in a specific position, then lit the herbs, then put the tortoise shell in, and then he closed the lid of the small incense burner. The green smoke formed when the herbs were ignited passed through the tortoise shell and came out bit by bit from the lid of the incense burner. Evans picked up the crystal ball and introduced the smoke into it. Suddenly, the originally clear crystal ball became filled with smoke.

The surrounding drinkers seemed to be busy with their own affairs, but in fact they were secretly focusing their attention on the two people who were doing the divination, trying to get a closer look. The protagonists of the incident, Tom and Evans, seemed not to notice at all, completely ignoring that their conversation might be being eavesdropped.

Evans held up the incense burner, took a deep breath, and sucked in all the remaining smoke. It was obvious that the taste was very strong. Evans' eyes immediately turned white and his hands began to tremble. He grabbed the pen and started writing and drawing on the sand table. He drew a lot of ghost symbols that no one could understand.

After he finished drawing the ghost talisman, Evans sprayed out a stream of white mist from his nose, which was a foot long and congealed. He waved his hand to disperse the white mist, held the crystal ball, and compared the shape of the white mist in the crystal ball with the pattern he had just drawn.

Tom:…

Good guy, I really let you use it all! There were so many bits and pieces, but Evans actually connected them all together, and it seemed quite reasonable.

Obviously, other guests in the Pig Head Bar were also frightened by Evans's series of operations. They all pricked up their ears and wanted to hear Evans' prophecy.

Evans stared at the crystal ball for a full quarter of an hour, and then sighed: "I saw 'unknown' in your fate."

Tom: Ah this...

All the eavesdroppers: Ah this...

Evans:?

What is your attitude? This is "unknown"! The "unknown" that can bring curses and death! Why do you have such expressions? Did I miss something wrong?

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look." Evans felt it was really hard to understand and incredible. So he took the crystal ball and looked at it carefully for a while, and finally he was very sure that he saw something very bad in the prophecy.

"I find it incredible. How can you sleep in your situation?" Evans fell into huge confusion.

Tom:?

"You should also have a good talent in divination, right? Don't you have a little premonition? If I had half the bad omen you have, I would probably stay up all night." Evans fiddled with his monocle.

[Divination: 4 (gifted)]

It can probably be called "having a good talent", right? Tom thought. But even if Evans is right about something, he has classified Evans as a charlatan. Others in the bar thought so too. Now their mentality has changed from voyeurizing "secrets" to listening to free crosstalk.

It’s not Evans’ fault, it’s mainly the word ominous and “ominous” that has been so overused by a woman named Trelawney over the past decade. Because of her persistence and persistence in making some bad predictions, these experienced wizards have regarded "unknown" as a liar. This can also be regarded as a different kind of tree planted by the predecessors for future generations to enjoy the shade.

Evans didn't know, he only knew that the Pig's Head Bar was filled with a happy atmosphere in an instant.

"I'm not kidding you!" He was a little unhappy. He decided to make an exception this time and tell the wizard in front of him about the fate he had observed.

"Please tell me."

"Please don't laugh!"

"I'm not smiling."

Evans: ...

Are you treating me like a blind person?

"The crystal ball told me that Hogwarts will not be very peaceful in the past few years. It is a troubled time. I even saw very bright stars inside. This is not a good sign, but fortunately, this omen will soon disappear because of A mysterious force dissipated..."

Tom nodded in agreement. It's like this. Hogwarts was going to have a big war, but if the culprit was dealt with in advance, wouldn't this disaster be eliminated?

Of course, only Tom believed this, and everyone else scoffed. Where is Hogwarts? There's Dumbledore there! What dark wizard would dare to go there and die?

"But this year, a demon king will be freed from the shackles that bind him."

"It?" Tom was a little curious. When Evans described the devil, he did not specify the gender of the devil, but used "it" to refer to it.

"Yes, I can't see the details clearly, but I know that a demon king will break free from the shackles that bind it and will bring disaster to a country. Of course, fate tells me that this demon king will also become the leader of that country. "

"Behind the scenes?"

"Probably?" Evans nodded.

Tom felt that things were getting interesting: Evans' prediction seemed to have something to it.
