Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 269 Divination Lesson

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

Ron quietly tugged Harry, who looked excited, under the table. Fortunately, Harry didn't really yell in the public, and he also thanked Professor Highmore, it was because of his teaching that Harry's devil didn't make trouble at this time .

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

As long as Harry didn'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 cursing me on purpose."

Ron couldn't refute this - everyone knew that Trelawney liked students to divination tragedies on him.

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

This is something Trelawney never taught them, and probably couldn't do it.

"Crystal ball." Trelawney said to the students, "This is a course that should have been left behind, but due to the actions of some incompetent professors, I think you should be well informed in advance, what? That’s called real divination.”

There is no doubt that these remarks are aimed at Professor Highmore. As early as a few months ago, some students said that they had seen Trelawney with their own eyes to complain to Principal Dumbledore, saying that if they wanted to drive themselves away There is no need to go to such lengths to ask another person to squeeze one's place.

I don't know what Principal Dumbledore did. He didn't let Trelawney leave Hogwarts, and Professor Highmore didn't stop his lectures.

On the whole, the two men were quite at odds.

It's just that Trelawney is 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 is definitely not targeting her on purpose—he is angry with Snape. What you do is called targeting. Has anyone seen something that can call the other party out to fight during class?
In any case, Trelawney clearly made up his mind to let the students take a good look at their true abilities.

"There will be a crystal ball on each of your tables," she said. "Separate into groups of two. Then, what I ask you to do is not to divine what will happen to you, but to another person. To observe your reflection in the crystal ball - remember to rotate the crystal ball three times in a clockwise direction at the same time, and observe afterward."

"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 Highmore has not taught the method of divination for others, otherwise once they do so , the results can become very inaccurate, and the results are rarely the same a few times out of ten.

It was precisely because of this increase in difficulty that the three of Harry were surprised to get such a consistent prophecy about Sirius some time ago.

This never happened, it's that simple.

"Would you like to try it?" Ron suggested.

Harry looked away from the back of Professor Trelawney, who was instructing the table between Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil, spinning the crystal ball three times in the correct way.

"Who's going first?" Harry asked, turning his head.

"You go first." Ron said indifferently.

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

The two eyes stared 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 scene, he might as well play the clarinet a few times during this time, probably making the rune snake dance is much more reliable than this method of divination.

"Open up your mind!" Trelawney repeated her words again: "Let your eyes go beyond the boundaries of the world! Celestial Eye, this is the key, try to find it!"

"I hope Luna can make a pair of celestial eye glasses." Hermione on the side table leaned over and whispered, "Then we really don't need to take this class anymore."

Harry and Ron looked at her in surprise, it was not common for Hermione to say such words.

Some time ago, due to some reasons that Hermione has been reluctant to say, she gave up her divination class for a while, so Trelawney would only say "welcome the students who have lost their way" when they saw 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 meaningless lessons.

The most exasperating thing is that it is not enough to study hard, one has to rely on talent—this is far from the divination taught by Professor Haimo.

At this moment, Trelawney turned around suddenly, staring straight at the three students who were secretly talking.

I don't know if she heard what Hermione whispered, she walked directly in the direction of the three of them, and glanced back and forth twice. That look reminded Harry of Draco's pet Virgil, and hunting Time is no different.

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

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

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

"No." Hermione said as if she was resisting something, her eyes were full of distrust: "I didn't see anything, probably because I don't have a third eye."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became three points colder, and the students looked over one after another. Ron and Harry opened their mouths in surprise——what happened to Hermione?Why is there such a big change?
Trelawney stared at Hermione silently, visibly angry.

"If you'd rather learn those low-level divinations—"

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

Neville, who was sitting opposite Hermione, gasped. He secretly hid the memory ball in his robe more tightly—by the way, when he found that Hermione was with him, he voluntarily gave up using the memory ball. The plan of ball divination, take the initiative to exchange the correct crystal ball - he doesn't want to offend the mini version of Dean McGonagall just because of such a trivial matter.

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

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

But he soon regretted doing so.

It seemed as if he had been waiting for him to speak up - almost at the same time, Trelawney immediately turned his head and stared at him.

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

She said in a tone of anger she had never seen before: "Why does no one understand-evil, the way he uses it is evil-against common sense, this is always a sign of evil in magic, why you just can't see it Woolen cloth?"

"Wow." Ron opened his mouth and said, "We've been working together for more than two years, and you're just seeing this now?"

This is a well-known secret, not to mention Ron, who has been in contact with the devil. Whoever says that Professor Highmore is an extremely kind-hearted man, he will open his mouth to refute.

Ron's words made the whole class laugh - except for Neville.

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

Trelawney grew angrier.

"Okay," she growled, and everyone thought she was really going to lose her temper, and even Ron was annoyed by what he had just uttered subconsciously.

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

Harry stood up blankly, how could this have something to do with him again?

Couldn't it be because Trelawney wanted to do this a long time ago—trying to make his divination worse?
Well, although Trelawney's gesture of going to confront Professor Highmore shocked the students, when she really wanted to do it, the people below still widened their eyes one by one, and even Hermione wanted to see Let's see how Trelawney plans to prove himself.

Harry could only stand obediently in front of the classroom, facing everyone, wishing he could change to another elective course now, even if he would be more happy to stay with Hagrid and Fire Dragon.

No, it's still only the fire dragon.

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

Standing right behind Harry, Trelawney said in an announcing tone, "Unknown! This is the sign I've seen from Mr. Potter in the first class of term. Now, I'm going to I will show you everything I see."

Why is it unknown again?
If Trelawney hadn't mentioned it, Harry would have almost forgotten about it.

What is unknown about him.

Sirius was not the murderer, but was framed, and this alone eliminated Harry's greatest threat.

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

With them around, what could happen to Harry?

Hermione understood something.

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

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

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

Ron stretched his neck to watch, Hermione simply stood up to watch, and the students sitting behind followed suit, for fear of missing any scene.

"May I know what the divination will reveal later?" Harry asked abruptly, his tone a little nervous.

Hermione and Ron looked at each other silently, they both knew what Harry was worried about - it would be bad if Sirius suddenly appeared in the classroom.Logically speaking, he is a dead person in everyone's eyes, and it is unlikely to become Harry's unknown. Just the 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 in front of everyone's eyes, and then, just a few seconds later, there were exclamations one after another in the classroom.
-
"So, let me take a good look at it—Professor Trelawney's divination for you turned you into a prefect of Slytherin House? Even this is your [unknown]?"

Now it was the next session of the Ancient Magic class. Toby was standing on the podium, and Al was staring at Harry who was sitting below with interest, his expression was absurd and uneasy.

"Yeah, Professor." Ron couldn't help laughing, "Everyone knows that Harry is from Gryffindor College, but she deliberately made this result-it's a bit like a pre-arranged Okay, just to catch people's attention—hey, why are you yelling at me?"

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

"Five points from Gryffindor." Toby said coldly, "As your punishment for slandering the professor, Mr. Weasley. I don't want to hear similar words in my class in the future-related to Professor Snape Neither will it."

I don't know why he singled out Snape, probably because it was feasible before that, and anyone can complain about Snape in front of him without any punishment.

Ron blushed like a red-hot iron furnace, and he didn't dare to say anything anymore.

"Divination about Professor Trelawney" Toby was silent for a while, and Al turned his head and whispered to him quietly.

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

Because he felt that Trelawney was obviously more incapable than bluffing.

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

Toby went on: "I guess no one should worry about that now though. Harry is a Gryffindor for sure, and there's nothing anyone can do to change that, let alone being a Prefect or anything - I Not doubting your ability, Mr. Potter, it's just—forget about Slytherin House, it doesn't suit you from the current point of view."

Harry's face was full of strange expressions, and he couldn't tell for a moment whether Professor Highmore was praising himself, or turning the corner and saying that he was not smart enough, and he was almost a fool.

But yes, if it was Professor Haimo, he probably would have thought of countless reasons to escape when he was called to the front of the classroom.

After all, who would want to make public the image of themselves being another prefect?
As for whether this is the fear and unknown in Harry's heart?
Seriously, since getting reminded by Headmaster Dumbledore, that is, the possibility that the Rune snake might really be his devil.

After this, Harry was also a little confused.
