HP solves the mystery

England is freezing in October, and coupled with the humid temperatures and foggy weather, it always makes people feel uncomfortable.

Lupine and Sirius had a cold war for nearly half a month, and finally reconciled after another full moon night. In the eyes of outsiders, the friendship between the four Marauders was restored as before, but the internal estrangement was probably only known to those involved. .

Although Hogwarts is a magical castle, it cannot resist the penetration of cold air.

Most of the staff and students were affected and had colds, which made Madam Pomfrey, the healer, scrambled because there were too many people.

Her refreshing potion is very effective. Those who drink it will experience smoke in their ears for several hours, and then their cold will be gone.

Severus' nose felt uncomfortable after watching Regulus practice on the lawn last time. For this reason, he asked the elf in the castle for a few pieces of ginger and boiled it with water in a cauldron to drink until he saw smoke coming from the ears of the little wizards around him. , then I remembered that I was in the magic world! Nothing works faster than a tube of magic potion.

Before he could run to the hospital wing to find Madam Pomfrey, he was sent over by his junior pupil who was sleeping with him.

"Oh, Regulus, I feel very good now and don't need to drink a refreshing potion." He looked at the expectant look on his junior disciple's face, reached out to take the potion and threw it into his bag, then changed the topic, "At least not now Drinking with smoke coming out of your ears, you look so stupid."

Regulus nodded with some disappointment. His ears had smoked after drinking the medicine before, but he had been laughed at several times. It was a pity that he couldn't watch Severus make a fool of himself.

"Are you still going to train these days?" Severus and he walked side by side in the corridor. Although the classrooms where they had classes were not in the same direction, someone didn't care.

The windows were pitter-pattered by the raindrops, which didn't stop for several days. The water in the Black Lake had risen a lot, and the flowers and plants in the flower beds were covered with sand.

On the other hand, the pumpkins grown by Hagrid looked like Cinderella's carriage and grew extremely huge, so they had a pumpkin feast for a long time.

Regulus nodded. The heavy rain could not dampen the Slytherin Quidditch captain's enthusiasm for training, so they would continue training.

Severus gave him a confused look. There was nothing scarier than seeing a group of mud men soaked in mud at dusk, and Slytherin didn't think it was ungraceful.

Apparently the captain of Gryffindor also thinks so. They always enter the school front and back, and the dripping mud and dirty water make the ground dirty. For this reason, Filch has to reduce the workload at specific times. Crouching at the door.

Both the little snake and the little lion were caught by Filch several times, and they almost got into a fight over it.

Severus thought Hogwarts was strange. The principal and professors knew that Squib Filch was often teased by little wizards, but they could never solve the source of the problem, which led to the school's rules getting longer and longer.

"Sirius...I mean Potter and the others...one is a batter and the other is a chaser...The captain always wants to be first. It is said that last year, he was almost overtaken by Porter...so it is necessary to double the training. Regulus swallowed back his bragging about his brother's glorious achievements and turned to talk about Potter, seeming to have forgotten that Severus was one year older than him.

Severus pulled Regulus to avoid the flying ghost. In the original book, Potter was a powerful chaser, and his son Harry perfectly inherited this advantage.

Quidditch allowed him to watch, but he didn't need to practice it. What's the fun in bumping around? Even if he knew that there was a cushion charm when riding a broom, and his butt would be protected from pain, he still didn't want to try it.

"Okay, Regulus, I'm leaving first. Although the divination class is boring, I will be late if I keep going like this." Severus thought of Harry in the future and had no intention of continuing to listen. He spoke calmly, raised his sleeves and robes to follow the team in front of him. Fortunately, he had thought that someone had a taciturn temperament.

Regulus paused in his steps and could hear the impatience in his tone. His dog eyes blinked blankly. How could he have offended him?

Before he could figure it out, the younger snakes who had been watching on the sidelines gathered around him. The name of the future heir of the Black family was known to many young wizards who wanted to be his wife.

Regulus was troubled in his heart, but calmly dealt with the surrounding junior snakes, and finally left with the team's Chaser, Barty Crouch Jr.

The professor of the Divination class was not Sybill Trelawney. This 'prophecy genius' enrolled in the same year as Severus and was currently studying in Ravenclaw. She only graduated from Hogwarts in 1978.

Severus looked at the classroom that looked like a mixture of an attic and an old-fashioned teahouse, and there were at least twenty small round tables crowded in the classroom. The small stools next to the tables had floral cushions. He suspected that this It is to prevent the little wizard from dozing off.

The open curtains made the room a little dark due to the heavy rain, and many of the lamps had blue lampshades, which looked a little weird.

The warmth in the classroom makes people doze off, the fire in the fireplace is burning brightly, and the special wood fills the room with the scent of pine and cypress. The circular walls are surrounded by piles of bright feathers, skull-shaped candle holders, tarot cards, astrological dice, tortoise shells, countless silver crystal balls and a large number of tea sets.

On the podium, an old man with gray hair and wrinkled face was sitting on a back chair, arranging things and mumbling something.

Seeing that he didn't pay attention to the door, Severus quickly found a corner and sat down. There were some dried fruit snacks piled on the plate on the table.

"Oh, children, welcome to the divination class," the old man squinted at the audience and said calmly, "I know you will all take the Owl exam next year. If you want to get all O's, you have to work hard. Jin, otherwise you will still have to see me when you are in sixth grade."

After hearing these words, the little wizards in the audience will all smile. For them, as long as they can make up the homework in the divination class, it is not difficult to get high marks.

The old man's wrinkled face became serious and he put the book in his hand on the table. "The future is changing rapidly. The knowledge in the book only allows you to understand the subject of divination. No one can truly predict it. Children, everything depends on man-made things!"

As he spoke, the old man tapped the edge of the table with his wand, and a huge teapot immediately appeared on it.

"Now you are divided into two groups. Choose a tea cup you like from the shelf and come to me. I will pour tea into it for you to taste. When you finish drinking, only the tea leaves are left... let me taste it! This is Delicious Huaguo tea!" The old man paused, feeling a little sorry for the tea he purchased from Huaguo.

"Okay, Professor." The little wizards were very happy, and the old man was very generous to them.

The old man pressed his hands, and the crowd gradually became quiet. He coughed and said, "Wait until only the tea leaves are left in the cup. Swirl the tea leaves three times with your left hand. Yes, we are now reviewing the interpretation of tea leaves in "Parting the Fog to See the Future" You can interpret the shape of the slag to each other, or you can ask us for help..."

The little wizards stood up in an orderly manner and took the teacups. After filling them with fragrant tea, they returned to the table, carefully drinking the hot tea and eating the dried fruits on the table.

Severus returned to his seat with the tea and looked at the powdered tea leaves with a strange expression. He took a small sip, well, it's even weirder...

He was a little shocked that the old man could still buy Biluochun at this time. Although it was only first-class, one must know that given the current environment in China and the total amount of tea, not everyone could drink it.

And he also crushed the tea leaves into dregs, which was extremely arrogant. Maybe this is a cultural difference?

Severus shook the tea leaves as he remembered, then used a magic spell to dry the teacup, and exchanged teacups with the bespectacled little badger Thomas opposite him.

"Found it, page five, page six... What is this? Wow," Thomas pushed up his glasses and compared the books, trying to identify the dregs in the teacup, "This, an overturned scale? Listen to your inner voice, Balance your own strength and make the best decision. Merlin's hair and spider mean you have an unexpected surprise!"

Severus had the same attitude towards divination classes as he did towards fortune-telling in China. The good ones were right and the bad ones were ignored.

"Let me look at yours, a bird. Something lucky happened to you. Well, there's a lock here? Well? Do you have a partner? Thomas?" Severus looked at the definition of a lock in the book. It's an 'early marriage'. Did this child get married right after graduation? still?

Thomas' wheat-colored face turned pale, and he played with the tea cup with his hand. He said in a low voice, "Well, my parents made an appointment for me to get married at the beginning of the year..." He didn't say much about the rest. His fiancée was a Muggle, and Si Lytlin values ​​pure blood.

Severus stopped asking after hearing this and turned the teacup in his hand. But he didn't expect that this teacup had some ability in divination?

The old man walked slowly around, occasionally helping the little wizard answer questions. When he passed Thomas, he heard the conversation between the two suddenly begin.

"Let me see, kid," he said, taking away the cup at a speed that was completely inconsistent with his body shape, and squinting at the bottom of the cup, "Oh, an upside-down hand, my dear, what have you recently obtained? A new friendship, right? Huh? And a fork? The goal has changed, and the future will also change..."

The old man muttered, then returned the tea cup to Thomas, and winked at Severus, as if to say that I understood it well.

Severus thought this old man was quite interesting, but much more interesting than the later Ms. Trelawney, at least he wasn't pretentious.

"Professor, look at mine! Look at mine!" Thomas took the cup back from Severus and handed it to the old man, looking at him expectantly.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, there's still plenty of time..." The old man smiled and stroked his beard. He really liked energetic young people, just like the boy more than thirty years ago, but he had a different path. Narrow.

Severus spent the second half of the class eating snacks and listening to the old man talk about the 'tragedies' caused by relying too much on divination, such as Oedipus the King.

"Okay, children, I'm really happy to get along with you. It's a pity that this lesson ends here. I don't know how much longer I can teach you..." the old man sighed and said with reluctance in his eyes, "I wish everyone good luck. , let’s see you in a few days…”

Severus followed the large group down the stairs and spiral staircase of the classroom. He was going to take the "Care of Magical Creatures" class next. Of course, it was not taught by Hagrid. The current professor was a man named Sylvanos. .Kettleburn's little old man.

Like Hagrid, he is obsessed with magical animals. He is a very passionate and sometimes reckless person. The dangerous creatures he studies and cares for often bring harm to himself and sometimes others. On one occasion, he even ignited a big fire. Auditorium, this is much more famous than him casting a spell on the Ash Snake to play the role of an earthworm.

Severus had heard of countless 'glorious deeds' of his, and was detained no less than 62 times during his tenure as a teacher.

All in all, this is a wizard who is more dangerous than Hagrid, but also much more reliable than Hagrid, so he is very popular in school.

Well, even before he let many students get close to the swallow-tailed dogs, used painless cutting spells on them, cut off the strange tails, and then took them to forage outside the Forbidden Forest, exhausting the little wizards to death.

Especially the Gryffindor students loved his class.

Severus wanted to ask Professor Kettleburn if he could find Niffler in the Forbidden Forest. He wanted to go treasure hunting.

Unfortunately, the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest and the Acromantula raised by Hagrid shattered his dream. In addition, except for magical beasts classes, students are not allowed to go near the Forbidden Forest at all.

This made him very depressed, and there might not even be a Xiu Xiu inside.
