Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Professor Trelawney suddenly turned 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 fine. I-I think my grandma is okay too?"

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

' said Professor Trelawney, the firelight making her long emerald necklace gleam.

Neville gasped, his body still afraid of her but his eyes were fixed on her.

"Professor, do you know something?"

Neville suddenly felt that Professor Trelawney's eyes were full of wisdom, as if she was a wise man who could reveal the mysteries of the future to him.

Trelawney said: "Child, it is not good for you to know things that happened too long ago. Even though I have the third eye and can see many unusual things, I often choose not to tell them."

Hermione couldn't help but ask, "Why is that?"

Trelawney turned his head and stared at her, and said in a very light voice: "Because you can't change your fate.

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

Hermione frowned: "You mean, even if I tell you, my fate can't be changed?"

Trelawney did not answer this, 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 studied palmistry, by the way, dear.”

She suddenly threw a message to Parvati Patil who was not far away, "Beware of a red-haired man."

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

Ron, who was shot innocently: …

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

“Well, in the summer term we started studying crystal balls – I mean, if we had finished the fire omen, unfortunately, there was going to be a bout of flu in February and I myself would lose my voice.

Around Easter, one of us will be gone forever.”

After these words, there was another anxious silence.

Then the normal process of viewing tea leaves began.

Among them, Professor Trelawney scared 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 continued as they brewed the tea, filled the cup with water, and then exchanged the teacups with each other to explain the tea to their companions.

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

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

Seeing this, Ron couldn't help but complain: "Does Mikel like predictions so much?"

Draco raised an eyebrow and groaned, “No, I don’t know about the others, but Mikel definitely wants Trelawney to divine him.

Haven't you noticed that when Trelawney asks a little wizard to do something for him, he will tell him a prophecy? "

Harry asked curiously, "Is this divination reliable?"

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

If you believe in it, it is reliable. If you don’t believe in it, it is not reliable at all.”

Hermione is the typical non-believer.

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

As for the loss of voice, I think that's more like her excuse, she just doesn't want to go to class!"

Because they didn't know Trelawney's character very well, they doubted Hermione's remarks.

But to be honest, Trelawney's performance does make people feel unreliable.

She really ignored Mikel the whole time, and she didn't know what Mikel had done to deserve this treatment.

Of course, although Trelawney did not ignore Hermione's question, it did not necessarily mean that his treatment had been upgraded.

After Hermione asked the tenth question, Trelawney faltered and said, "My child, fate is not so clear."

Hermione frowned. "Professor, I just want to know why the same pattern can be interpreted differently in different situations. Isn't this a matter of free judgment?"

Trelawney: "Child, this is the charm of divination. In the long river of fate, you think you have a peek at 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 in this way, fate will abandon you... Well, let me see, something good will happen to you recently."

This statement did not satisfy Hermione.

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

But then, Trelawney asked everyone to open pages 5 and 6 of the book, "Expand your thinking and let your vision go beyond the boundaries of the world!"

Lin Xia thought: This slogan reminded her of the comic book she dug out from the ruins in her previous life.

In those limited few pages, the destined protagonist will say something like this at the critical moment and then burst out with powerful fighting power.

Lin Xia turned to another page.

Unfortunately, reality is never as wonderful as in cartoons.

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

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

He compared it with "Seeing the Future Through the Mist" and said: "That is to say, you will have 'tribulations and pains', oh, no, no, this is more like a sun shape, wait, that means great joy..."

Harry made the final decision: "So, you will suffer, but feel very happy."

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

Now it was Ron's turn to look at Harry's teacup.

Lin Xia had already looked through the patterns in the book, but hadn't found any similarities in them.

Draco found the pattern and asked, "Does mine look like the sun?"

Hermione and Lin Xia looked at each other and nodded. Compared to the sun that Harry mentioned, the pattern in Draco's teacup looked more like a 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 whispered, "Now that you mention it, it's possible. I published a few papers last semester, and did some experiments here and there, and I've accumulated enough points."

Hermione said enviously, "I'm still a long way from getting the points!"

With the increase in authority, she can do a lot of things, and the amount of banned books she can read can also be increased, so she can gain more knowledge. Draco said: "You are already good. Since last semester, we can accept a lot more tasks, and the points can be increased little by little. It was very difficult for outstanding students to increase their points in the past, and it was far less convenient than it is for us."

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

On the other side, Trelawney was impatient with Ron's hesitation in reading out Harry's teacup pattern, so he took it and examined it himself.

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

It's a bit strange.

Trelawney definitely did that on purpose.

Why didn't she want to help Mikel with divination?
Or is Mikkel's fate too powerful for her to speak out?

Trelawney stared at the teacup and turned it counterclockwise.

"Eagle... honey, you have a mortal enemy."

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

Trelawney glared at her.

Hermione said crisply, "That's right, everyone knows about Harry and the You-Know-Who!"

The other young wizards looked at her with a bit of admiration; they had never seen Hermione talk back to a teacher like that before.

Trelawney dropped his large eyes and continued to examine Harry's cup, turning it this way and that again.

"A bludgeon... an attack. My goodness, this is not a pleasant cup... Skull, there is danger on your way, dear..."

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

Suddenly, there was a scream, followed by the sound of a teacup breaking. It was Neville who broke his second cup.

Professor Trelawney sank down in an armchair, put his hand, which was covered with shiny manicure nails, on his chest, and closed his eyes.

The scream just now came from her mouth.

"My dear child, my poor child, no, it is better not to tell me, and not to ask me..."

Everyone was curious about what the tea leaves showed. One wizard asked, "What is it, Professor?"

Trelawney's eyes suddenly widened, staring at Harry and saying, "You have something ominous."

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

"Ominous, dear, ominous!" cried Professor Trelawney. "That great, grim dog that haunts the churchyard! My dear boy, it is an omen—the worst omen of all—an omen of death!"

The other little wizards couldn't help but gasp.

Anything that has to do with death is terrifying.

Harry was also distressed.

He thought of the dog on the cover of "Death Omen" in Flourish and Blotts, and the dog in the shadows of Magnolia Crescent. Both omens were related to dogs, which made him believe Trelawney's prophecy.

Just Hermione.

Very calmly she walked over to Trelawney and looked at Harry's cup, "I don't think that's ominous, Professor."

The professor at Trelawney looked Hermione over and over with a growing dislike for her.

At this time, Mikkel also came around and walked to Hermione's side. He glanced at the teacup and didn't say whether it was a good omen or not. Instead, he said:
"I think it looks like a big dog, but dogs have many meanings, professor, you may have seen it wrong."

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

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

"As for you," Trelawney said without even looking at Mickle, but everyone knew she was talking about him.

"You are a despicable thief of destiny. You are not qualified to see 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 without any exaggerated expression, as if he was just saying something ordinary.

Not like her usual self at all.

Lin Xia asked Draco in a low voice: "Could it be that the Third Eye has been activated?"

Draco shook his head solemnly: "No, this is not how her Third Eye activates."

The reason why they chose to take the divination class was because of its reputation.

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

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

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

Bloodline is a magical thing. It can always grant wizards some incredible abilities, just like Trelawney's family has always been a family of prophecy.

Uncle Lucius wanted them to try and see if they had the ability to learn, so he specifically told them to take the Divination class as an elective, and even showed them the famous scene when Trelawney activated his third eye.

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

Lin Xia was thinking about it and felt that the scene just now was still very special, but if it weren’t for the third eye, the accuracy of the prediction might not be high.

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

What the wizard sees through prophecies is not necessarily correct.

All the elements mentioned by the wizard in the prophecy may happen, but the results may be completely different.

In other words, the dog in Harry's prophecy might bring the omen of death to Harry, but it might also be to someone else, for example, it might be to this dog.

More likely, a dog will appear, seemingly bringing a bad omen, but in fact it brings hope of life.

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

The river of destiny is flowing every moment. Any changes in anyone or anything will affect the overall development.

Lin Xia's eyes sank slightly, which made Trelawney's prediction seem so accurate.

God of War!
Trelawney lay down on the chair, looking extremely tired. During the silence, she said in a vague voice:
"That's all for today's class. Pack up your things..."

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

They left the Divination classroom, Harry's expression still heavy.

Ron struggled to find topics to talk to Harry.

Harry responded incoherently, and Hermione suddenly said, "Harry, don't take it personally. Maybe it's just a stray dog."

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

He couldn't help but turn 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)
