Hogwarts Mystery Sequence

In Trelawny's office, Lockhart, who was silent in his seat, suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.

He didn't even look at Trelawny as he passed by, treating it like a doll that had been played with enough and discarded.

After he walked out of the door, he glanced at a hidden location, then withdrew his gaze with some lack of interest, turned around and left.

As soon as he stepped forward, where he was looking, Harry, Hermione and Ron leaned out one by one.

Harry looked around as if he was guilty and found that Ron was still fixating his eyes on Lockhart's back, so he subconsciously looked at Hermione.

Hermione didn't pay attention to Lockhart who left, but instead stared at the half-closed door of the Divination Professor's office.

The three of them have been keeping a close eye on Lockhart and Amon recently, especially Amon.

But most of the time, Amon would hide in the Dark Magic Defense Professor's office after class and never come out.

This made Ron very dissatisfied. He felt that Amon must be planning something bad again, so he should rush into the office with the professors to collect the stolen goods individually.

But Hermione and Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

The latter felt less guilty because he did not endanger other people due to his "selfish" decision. After all, he was the one who insisted not to tell the professor about Amon and 'Lockhart';

The former was because there was no scene she didn't want to see due to her compromise with Harry, and her inner guilt was also slightly reduced.

However, now Hermione's gradually relieved heart suddenly became tense again.

She felt something was wrong when she discovered Lockhart's abnormal behavior today, and then Professor Trelawney walked out.

Hermione carefully observed Professor Trelawney's expression and movements - this is the method she summarized after the Lockhart incident to deal with Amon's Imperius Curse. To be precise, it is to identify whether Amon has been cursed by Amon. Of course, this is mainly because Amon seems to disdain to hide it.

Therefore, she discovered something abnormal at that time, and chose to take turns watching with Harry and Ron.

Later, Amon came to Professor Trelawney's office. Not long after, Professor Trelawney came back from nowhere, and they got together again to discuss countermeasures.

But before they could reach a conclusion, Amon and Lockhart walked out one after another.

Now, her intuition told Hermione that something unknown but very bad must have happened in the Divination Professor's office.

"Let's go!" Hermione said one word firmly, and then rushed out at the lead.

She had made up her mind that if Amon really did something bad, she would tell the professor everything immediately.

"Hermione!"

Harry and Ron were still stunned, looking at each other, a little at a loss, and didn't understand why Hermione was suddenly so excited.

But the next second, they immediately followed.

Hermione ran up the stairs, pushed open the ajar door, and saw Professor Trelawney passed out on the ground.

"Professor Trelawney!"

She has a well-planned study plan and has already begun to consider the elective courses for her third grade. Naturally, she will get to know the professor in advance.

But now she didn't care about any elective courses. She said with an ugly face and eager tone to Harry and Ron, who had just come in:

"Quick! Let's send Professor Trelawney to Madam Pomfrey!"

"Oh, oh!" The two people who didn't realize what happened at first nodded when they heard Hermione's words. Then they saw Professor Trelawney lying on the ground, so they subconsciously took a deep breath and immediately He started to act hurriedly.

Office of the Professor of Dark Arts.

Amon came back here early, and as soon as he entered the door, he began to pack various books and materials into the suitcase unhurriedly.

After a while, 'Lockhart' also came in.

He looked at Amon who was putting things into a bottomless pit one by one, as if he could never fill his suitcase, and said:

"In fact, we don't need to be exposed at all."

Hearing this, Amon raised his head and looked at him, and said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth:

“Life always needs some variety, fun and anticipation, doesn’t it?”

"I think you think that life at Hogwarts is dragging you down and you are eager to get rid of it. To describe it in one word, it's like that..." 'Lockhart' pinched his right eye wearing a monocle, thinking about something while walking towards the desk.

Two seconds later, he stroked his palms and said as if he suddenly understood:

"Scumbag...that's the word," Lockhart said with a mocking look on his face.

Amon put his right fist on his chin, stared at Lockhart strangely and said:

"It seems that our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is a bit reluctant to leave his students..."

Immediately, without waiting for 'Lockhart' to retort, he lowered his fist, palmed his fist, and said with one final word:

"In that case, just stay."

Hearing this, 'Lockhart' twitched the corners of his mouth slightly and said helplessly:

"You are trying to squeeze out every last drop of my worth."

Amon’s smile remains unchanged:

"This is the inspiration you just gave me."

'Lockhart' didn't know if he felt like he had shot himself in the foot, but his expression became a bit indescribable.

But can he still raise objections, or will Amon change his mind even if he protests - obviously not!

So he can only express:

"...You are the main body and you have the final say."

Amon nodded with satisfaction and then said:

"Why don't you cherish your last moments and help me clean up?"

"..."

'Lockhart' was stunned for two seconds, then sighed silently and said:

"Ontology, I suddenly feel lucky for those exploited people who do not exist. Fortunately, you did not become a capitalist."

In the underground secret room, Amon was alone looking through the books and ancestors' notes passed down by the Trelawney family.

Before that, he had directly or indirectly learned a lot about divination, but to be honest, it was not as detailed as what was recorded in the Trelawny family's information.

On the one hand, this is because Amon’s involvement in this area is still relatively shallow, and even Voldemort and Ollivander are limited to the introductory or understanding stage;

On the other hand, it is also because the Trelawny family is a family that specializes in this field.

In fact, one or two things can be seen from the naming of the members of this family——

In the ancient magical world, wizard parents would not name their children on the fly. They would pay a considerable sum of money to consult a "naming prophet" to predict the child's future and recommend a name with an obvious expressive personality. Or a name that reflects the flavor of destiny.

This practice is becoming increasingly rare nowadays. Wizard parents prefer to let their children have their own freedom. They do not want to receive premature information about their children’s talents, limitations, or the worst case scenario - disaster. hint.

Moreover, wizarding parents are often distraught after visiting a "naming prophet," feeling that they are worse off than having never heard the prophet's predictions about their children's character or future.

Therefore, some wizarding families, such as the Potters and Weasleys, simply choose names for their children, just like Muggles.

However, there are still some people who follow this tradition. For example, the Black family likes to name their offspring after stars or constellations. Many people think that this is in line with their ambition and vanity.

The same is true for the Trelawny family, who like to use the names of prophets in myths and legends as the names of their descendants.

For example, Cassandra, the ancestor of the Trelawny family, was named after a cursed prophet in mythology. According to legend, this prophet predicted the destruction of Troy. Unfortunately, because "although it could be predicted correctly, The future, but no one will believe it" is a curse that no one believes.

And "Sibyl" is also revered as "a prophetess who can convey oracles." The first "Sibyl" is named Sibylla. She can "make prophecies in a frenzy of joy." Trelawny Not only does the identity of the prophet fit her, but her "frantic" state when she made the actual prophecy also fits perfectly.

From this, we can see the family's persistence and obsession with divination prophecies.

It's a pity that, as the saying goes: all gifts from fate have already been secretly marked with a price.

The Trelawny family was at its peak in Cassandra. From then on, each generation would be born with a prophet with a "sight", but it seemed to be a reappearance of the tragic life of "Cassandra" in the myth. The Trelawny family finally It inevitably declined...

Putting back his divergent thoughts, Amon looked at the parchment in his hand.

These are the notes of the famous prophetess Cassandra, which clearly record the entire process and details of her development of the "sight" talent, as well as a large number of Cassandra's last words on "interpreting" this divination prophecy. An understanding of important tools, as well as various examples of her own experience - this is something that any prophet would treasure!

Whether it is ordinary divination methods or vision predictions, they are all using information, and secondly, they are spying on fate.

Because whether it is divination or vision, we get some fragmentary and fuzzy pictures, so interpretation based on known information naturally becomes the key to prophecy.
