Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

All of this happened in a silent world. Dean felt as if he had watched a small silent movie. However, when the white mist covered his eyes, Dean broke away from this state with sweating profusely.

He found himself lying on the ground panting, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.

With tears in her eyes, Hermione's voice called her in her ears intermittently, which finally brought Dean back to the world of sound.

Dean found himself surrounded by several people, including Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, Madam Pomfrey - and the helpless Professor Trelawney.

Dean noticed that Professor Trelawney's eyes were full of fear and helplessness at this time, and no longer had the empty feeling before.

Everyone was visibly relieved to see Dean wake up.

"Miss Granger, what happened just now? Why did Mr. Thomas faint suddenly?" Professor McGonagall asked seriously.

"Just now, Dean and I were preparing to go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. When we walked here, Professor Trelawney suddenly appeared. She said that Dean would encounter a terrible disaster, and then she caught Dean. shoulders, and then Dean suddenly fell to the ground." Hermione said with a sigh.

"Sybil, is Miss Granger right?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"I, I don't know. I heard that one of the freshmen has a gift for prophecy, so I wanted to take a closer look while there was no class just now, but when I saw them, the boy had already fallen to the ground." Terry Professor Lawney's answer was obviously very different from Hermione's.

Professor McGonagall looked at the two people sternly, as if to tell who was lying.

Hermione looked at Professor McGonagall without fear, but Professor Trelawney's eyes were a little evasive.

"Severus, what do you think?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"I'm afraid Miss Granger is right, because I happened to see everything that happened in the office - Sybil did not faint until she came into contact with Mr. Thomas." I must admit the words of a Gryffindor Right, makes Snape look a little self-loathing.

Professor Trelawney looked at Snape in disbelief and said in a hoarse voice: "No, I don't know anything. I was in a state of absence for a while - real diviners often do this, Dumbledore The professor can prove it!”

Professor McGonagall frowned in boredom: "Sybil, I think this matter really needs to be reported to Principal Dumbledore - when he comes back later, I will go with you."

Professor Trelawney opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

At this time, Madam Pomfrey shouted dissatisfied: "Everyone, I don't mean to offend, but don't you think the patient should be sent to the campus hospital first?"

With that said, he summoned a stretcher with his wand and prepared to move Dean on it.

"Mrs. Pomfrey, I don't think it's necessary, because I'm already fine. It was just an accident." Dean, feeling that his strength had been restored, quickly got up from the ground.

"Oh~ are you sure?" Madam Pomfrey looked up and down at Dean suspiciously and found that he indeed looked healthy.

If she hadn't just seen Dean fainting on the ground and no one knew what was going on, she really suspected that Dean was deliberately embarrassing Professor Trelawney.

"Of course, I know my own body well." After Dean finished speaking, he turned to Professor McGonagall, "Professor, Professor Trelawney is right. She is not to blame for what happened just now. Diviners often have to sense the future. So it’s very common to have distractions.”

"Mr. Thomas, are you sure?" Professor McGonagall frowned, a little dissatisfied with Dean actually excusing Professor Trelawney.

"Yes. As Professor Trelawney said, I may have a little gift of prophecy, so the same situation may occasionally occur - I think Professor Snape can prove this." Dean said to him Snape cast a pleading look.

A look of surprise flashed across Snape's eyes, and after a moment of silence, he nodded reluctantly, then immediately turned around and left.

"Well, Mr. Thomas, since you say so - I think you and Miss Granger can still make it to half the Defense Against the Dark Arts class." Seeing that Snape would actually testify against Dean, Professor McGonagall was very surprised. , but there is nothing you can do.

"Goodbye, Professor." Upon seeing this, Dean immediately pulled Hermione and ran away.

"The young man is in great shape!" Madam Pomfrey sighed and left slowly, leaving space for Professor McGonagall and Professor Trelawney.

"Sybil, although Mr. Thomas did not pursue the case and excused you, I still think you need to have a good talk with Principal Dumbledore - if you are not lying, it probably means that you have done another real thing. Prophecy." Professor McGonagall reminded him unabashedly.

"I will go as soon as Professor Dumbledore comes back - that is such a good boy, I saw the light of 'sight' shining in him..." Professor Trelawney said, wiping her eyes.

Professor McGonagall frowned and looked at the nagging Professor Trelawney with disapproval. After a moment of patience, she said, "Sibyl, I advise you to drink less."

Professor Trelawney seemed to be greatly insulted. She stared at Professor McGonagall with wide eyes and defended: "I never drink during class..."

"But drinking outside class can sometimes cause trouble, right?" Professor McGonagall sniffed and nodded to Professor Trelawney before turning and leaving.

……

"Dean, you scared me just now. I didn't expect you to faint suddenly!" Hermione said fearfully on the way to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

"It was just an accident." Dean was a little depressed. It seemed that this might become his dark history.

"I don't think so - Professor Trelawney was too scary at that time." Hermione babbled.

"Hermione, how long have I been unconscious for?" Dean suddenly asked.

"It won't take long, about three to five minutes." Hermione thought for a moment and said.

"When did the professors arrive?" Dean asked again.

"Almost as soon as you fell to the ground, Professor Trelawney woke up from that strange state, and then she cast a spell to call Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey - Professor Snape almost talked to McGonagall. Professor Gerard arrived at the same time. I guess it was just like what he said. He saw something happened to you in the office, so he arrived in time without being notified." Hermione's expression was very strange, as if she didn't believe that Snape would be like this. Kindhearted.

"No matter what, Professor Snape is also a teacher at the school. It is impossible to turn a blind eye to something happening to a student." After noticing Hermione's little thoughts, Dean defended Snape.

"That's right - Dean, how do you feel now? I think it is very unwise for you to reject Madam Pomfrey." Hermione couldn't help nagging.

"Hermione, do you want me to be embarrassed in front of the whole school? Suddenly fainted - you can imagine how bad the consequences will be if the Slytherins, especially Malfoy and others find out." Dean pretended to be displeased. road.
