Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

Chapter 11 The Robes of Procus

"From what you say, the Prokos robe should have other functions besides the effect of the invisibility cloak." Dean asked thoughtfully.

Prokos' robe is also not mentioned in the original work, so his knowledge in this area is blank and he can only speculate based on existing clues.

"The answer is correct." Mrs. Graves confirmed Dean's guess. "Invisibility is just one of the many functions of Prokos's robe."

"Maybe there should be clues in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", but unfortunately I haven't watched it..." Dean tugged his hair in annoyance, and had to change his mind and asked: "Mrs. Graves, can you Tell me, what else is in the woven material of Prokos's robe besides the hair of the invisible beast?"

"A centaur's mane." Mrs. Graves seemed to admire Dean and replied without thinking.

"Centaurs?" Dean carefully recalled the original work that was blurred in his memory. He could not remember much information about centaurs, most of which were related to Harry.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered that in the original novel, there seemed to be a centaur replacing the crazy Professor Sybill Trelawney as the Divination professor at Hogwarts. Wouldn't that mean...

"I can tell you that the rare surname Prokos belongs to the centaurs. Many outstanding fortune-tellers have emerged from this centaur family..." Mrs. Graves reminded.

"So people wearing Procos robes will have the ability to predict?" Dean was a little breathless with excitement.

"Theoretically, this is true, but first the person wearing it must have the gift of prophecy." Mrs. Graves smiled happily when she saw that Dean had guessed the truth so quickly.

"So do you think I have the gift of prophecy?" Dean asked anxiously.

"I said that Prokos Robe chose you, so what do you think?" Mrs. Graves asked with a smile.

"Really?" Dean was overjoyed and a little curious at the same time. Why didn't the system give any prompt?

"The Prokos robe was invented by Franzen Prokos, a great centaur fortune teller a long time ago." Mrs. Graves said, "Legend has it that one day he used his own mane and a strange kind of divination to divine fortune. He thought this was a reminder from God, so he spent many years researching to find another source of hair and create the world's first Prokos robe."

"Mrs. Graves, why is it the hair of an invisible beast?" Dean asked curiously.

"Because invisible beasts have a peculiar instinct that can predict what will happen within a few seconds. This instinct gives invisible beasts the ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil." Mrs. Graves explained.

"Since the Prokos robe is so magical, why hasn't it been popularized?" Dean asked puzzledly.

Seeing how the profiteer Mundungus was willing to pay any price for Prokos robes, Dean guessed that the number of Procos robes must be very rare.

"First of all, invisible beasts are now endangered species and difficult to find; secondly, proud centaurs are rarely willing to donate their manes; finally, there are too few people with the gift of prophecy." Mrs. Graves regretted Shaking his head, "In fact, not many Prokos robes survive. The most famous one belongs to the "Prophet" Cassandra Trelawny. After her death, it was passed down as a family heirloom, but it seems that Sybil took it lost."

Dean couldn't help but wonder after hearing this: Cassandra Trelawney is called a true prophet, but did her prophetic ability use the Prokos robe?Is Sybill Trelawney's erratic prophecy caused by the loss of Prochos' robe?

"It's really strange. How could Professor Trelawney lose such a precious 'heirloom' like Prokos's robe? It's so careless." Dean couldn't help complaining.

"Well, actually the correct statement is that the Dark Lord who must not even be named stole the Prokos robes of the Trelawney family." Mrs. Graves corrected with a smile.

After Dean heard this, he suddenly felt that the Prokos robe in his hand became hot to the touch - he still understood the principle of harboring a treasure, especially after Mundungus, a profiteer, already knew that this treasure fell into his hands.

"Don't worry, I can guarantee that this Prokos robe was definitely not acquired from the Dark Lord." Mrs. Graves said with half-joking relief after seeing Dean's worries.

"Even if it has nothing to do with the one in the hands of the Dark Lord, Mr. Mundungus already knows that this Prokos robe is in my hands, and he must not give up; besides, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not leak the news to others." Dean frowned.

Mrs. Graves suggested: "Why not put on the Prokos robe and experience its benefits first?"

"Well, you're right, at least you don't have to worry about being snatched away by Mr. Mundungus." Dean put on the Prokos robe over his clothes in an obedient manner.

The moment the Prokos robe was put on his body, Dean first felt a bone-chilling chill spread throughout his body, and then a magical scene happened. The chill disappeared almost immediately, and the Prokos robe on his body also disappeared!

"This is incredible!" Dean exclaimed. He could clearly feel the presence of the robe, but he couldn't see it with the naked eye.

"How about it? Now you know the wonder of Procos' robe~ As long as you don't tell yourself, no one will know that you are wearing this robe. Not only can they not see it, they can't even touch it. The best thing is What's more, if you want to or are in danger, the robe can also take you into an invisible state." Mrs. Graves introduced, like an artist introducing his most proud work.

"So how to activate the prophetic effect of Prokos's robe?" Dean asked.

"This - I'm not very clear. After all, I don't have any prophecy talent, so I'm afraid you need to explore it yourself. But I heard a rumor that the higher the prophecy talent of the wearer of Procos robe, the more distant the future will be. In the future, if your prophecy talent is average, you may only be able to predict what will happen in a second or two at most." Mrs. Graves blinked mysteriously.

"So according to rumors, what is the upper limit of the farthest future that can be predicted?" Dean asked curiously.

"There is no clear record of this, but Cassandra Trelawney once accurately predicted something that would happen a century later."

"Oh oh oh~ What an enviable ability!" Dean said, but he was thinking about another thing: the existence of Prokos's robe seemed to give him a good reason to explain why he You will know in advance what will happen in this world in the future.

Well, if Snape prevaricates him like this next time he asks about "spoilers", he won't know when Prokos's robe fell into his hands anyway.

Dean filled in the spoiler loopholes himself, but unfortunately the scene where Snape asked him in his own mind would never appear, because at that time all Snape read was just a large paragraph of Chinese that was no different from the Bible.
