I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 138 The Cursed Orlando

"Why do I feel like she's a liar." Hermione murmured softly, not to mention that her senses are always so sensitive.

"Welcome to the divination class," Professor Trelawney said while sitting on a winged armchair in front of the fireplace, "I am Professor Trelawney, you may not have seen me before, Because I find that too much school chores can blur my third eye," she explained to herself.

"What is the Celestial Eye?" Harry couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Ron shrugged and imitated Orlando's expression of not knowing.

"A kind of innate bloodline supernatural power, which is said to be able to predict the future." Orlando, who has studied bloodline magic, knows that such people either have prophets in their families, or have similar bloodlines in their great-grandfathers.

"That's amazing." Hermione's eyes lit up, but she was a little uncertain when she looked at Trelawney.

Most of the students were surprised by such an unusual declaration without realizing it.

Professor Trelawney carefully rearranged the shawl, and continued: "You have taken Divination, which is the most difficult of all magical arts. I must warn you from the beginning, if you do not have 'sight ', then there is very little I can teach you, and books can only take you so far in this respect...."

After hearing this, both Harry and Ron smiled and looked at Hermione, who was surprised to hear that the books for this subject were not very useful.

"She lied to us, right?" Hermione looked at Orlando for help.

"Probably not." Orlando pondered for a moment and then said in a low voice: "Things like sights are illusory, but they don't exist. Nicole Flamel studied hard with a master when he was young."

"I hope to keep quiet in my class, Mr. Orlando, or you will do no harm to listen to me." Trelawney looked at Orlando with her big eyes.

"I'm sorry Professor, please forgive me this time, I will keep quiet." Orlando's attitude of admitting his mistakes is always so straightforward.

"Very well," Trelawney continued without dwelling on this issue, "In the wizarding world, there are many wizards and wizards who are very talented in transfiguration, charms, and potion refining, but they But you can’t see through the fog to see the future.”

Professor Trelawney paused for a moment, as if she was brewing something, her huge glowing eyes moved back and forth from each eager and hopeful face, as if she was looking for something, and seemed to be peeping at something.

"There are only a few people with this kind of natural talent, you, boy," she said suddenly to Neville, who almost fell off his cushion. "How is your grandma?"

Professor Trelawney's coaxing and intimidation made Neville tremble with fear, and also shocked the others. Everyone held their breath and did not dare to pant loudly. This was exactly the effect Trelawney wanted. .

Seeing this scene, Orlando curled his lips. He finally understood what Trelawney was up to. This is a half-assed prophet who cannot control the results of the divination. This is the result of inference from her poor acting skills and the plot of the original book. .

Hermione leaned quietly on Orlando's shoulder, holding his arm tightly with both hands under the table, as if frightened, and Orlando patted her on the shoulder to calm her down.

Professor Trelawney continued calmly: "This year we study the basics of divination, and the first term is devoted to reading tea leaves. Next term we should learn palmistry, by the way, my dear," she said. He suddenly said to Orlando: "Not being afraid of death doesn't mean you won't die. Be careful."

Such a sudden specious remark did not frighten Orlando. Having experienced reincarnation once, he knows what death is all about. He politely nodded at Trelawney and said, "Thank you for your advice, Professor, I will Careful."

Orlando's calm and calm contrasted sharply with the frying pans of other little wizards. This was not what Trelawney wanted. She frowned and didn't continue the topic, but continued: "In the summer semester .”

But Orlando didn't care, but Hermione on the side was anxious. She stood up and interrupted Trelawney loudly, and asked, "Professor, can you make it clearer? Just because you don't fear death doesn't mean you won't die." die?"

Hermione's bravery shocked everyone. This was the first time a student dared to confront a professor in class.

Hermione's fierce reaction did not displease Trelawney, she glanced at Hermione, and then continued to say in her soft and vague voice: "The Celestial Eye is not omnipotent, it can only let me see What I can do is to give you early warning of possible scenarios in the future.”

Hermione wanted to say something, but before she could say anything, Orlando pulled her to sit down. She looked at Orlando in puzzlement, her eyes were full of worry and fear, which moved Orlando.

"Don't worry about me, Hermione, if you've talked to senior students, you'll know that Professor Trelawney predicts the death of a student every year, but so far none have died, so you understand? "Orlando didn't deliberately lower his voice when he said this, he just wanted Trelawney to hear, who asked her to scare Hermione.

Many students who heard Orlando's words were in an uproar, and Trelawney panicked now. She didn't dare to catch Orlando to continue to pluck the wool, and quickly changed the subject and said: "In the summer semester, we will learn crystal ball prophecy. If We have learned the words of the omen of fire. Unfortunately, in February, a nasty flu will force classes to close. I will lose my voice myself, and around Easter, one of us will leave us for good."

When Trelawney said this, she took a special look at Orlando, but unfortunately he ignored it.Only Hermione was still very angry. She glared at Trelawney. If she wasn't a professor, this wouldn't be a classroom. Orlando believed that she would pull out her wand and cast a powerful spell on the person who cursed Orlando in front of her.

Trelawney's prophecy never won the admiration of the students. Most of them looked at her suspiciously, while a few looked at Orlando, giving him sympathy and concern.

In the following courses, Trelawney taught everyone how to interpret prophecies through tea leaves. Orlando is a good tea drinker, but it would be impossible for him to interpret the future from the chaotic and noisy tea leaves. After trying it once, he decisively gave up this boring trick.

Orlando noticed that most of the students were just like him, except that they were still in the fog. He looked around while sipping tea leisurely.

As a good student, Hermione is trying hard to identify the shape of her tea leaves. She kept flipping through the book "Putting Through the Fog to See the Future", trying to find the answer, but it is clear that it is confusing and specious The graphics of confuse her mind, making her wonder which graphics should correspond to.

Orlando looked funny in his heart, and decided to help her. He quietly used the power of his soul to control Hermione's tea leaves to change into a shape, then spread out the textbook and said, "It should be this," he pointed to an acorn Pattern, "windfall, unexpected gold, Hermione, your fortune is coming."

"Is it this pattern?" Hermione asked suspiciously, "It didn't look like this just now?" She frowned, but out of trust in Orlando, she didn't doubt him.

"That's it, it's definitely right, take a closer look." Orlando said nonsense seriously.

"Oh my God, look at what our Miss Granger interpreted, an acorn pattern, that's right, that's the one, lucky girl, you'll get a windfall, I think maybe a big Congratulations, Granger." Trelawney happened to look over at this moment, and she announced the good news to everyone in an exaggerated tone.

Hermione curled her lips and didn't answer, she hadn't forgiven what she just cursed Orlando.
