Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts.

The next morning, Daphne, Astoria, and Les came to the auditorium together for breakfast, just like they had done for the past five years.

"Les, I didn't realize you had such a talent for public speaking." Daphne chatted with Les while spreading butter on her bread.

"The voice from the heart is always deafening." Les told Daphne that almost every word of his speech was true.

"I just didn't expect Malfoy to be so courageous as to talk back to Rice in that state," Astoria said thoughtfully.

Les glanced at her, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

Last night, when he cast a spell on Malfoy, he deliberately suppressed his magic power and controlled the fluctuations of magic power. Now it seems that his control over magic power has improved, while Daphne and Astoria, who did not notice anything unusual, still need to practice harder.

"This guy has always been like this. I've been annoyed with him for a long time." Daphne had her mouth full of bread, fried eggs and bacon, but she was still trying to express her opinion of Malfoy.

She kind of wanted to find an opportunity to beat up Malfoy.

The three did not continue to delve into the topic of Malfoy, but instead turned the conversation to the course schedule for this semester.

"Fifth graders have to prepare for the OWLs exam. That won't take up too much of our time, right?" Astoria complained as she looked at her schedule.

She thought that instead of wasting time on these boring courses, she should spend some time hunting evil spirits.

Recently, the frequency of evil spirits slipping out of the underworld has been increasing. Without special means of targeting, these dark creatures will not really die in the world, but will return to the underworld to absorb strength. After the strength is restored to a certain level, they will be resurrected in the underworld.

Then it's their turn to make a comeback.

"I got all A's in my exams last year. Don't bring shame to the Greengrass family." Daphne said proudly.

Astoria narrowed her eyes, “Sister, are you questioning my ability?”

"The fact that I didn't get an Excellent grade only means there was something wrong with the questions." Astoria said with great confidence.

Astoria, who is extremely powerful and owns her own domain, has the confidence to say such things.

Of course, it is a bit too abstract for wizards from two fields to compare their OWLs test scores.

"There will be some changes in the examination mode this year. If you complete enough 'tasks', some examination items will be exempted." Les remembered that his old friends seemed extremely dissatisfied with the examination methods of the modern wizarding world. They would probably take the opportunity to promote the new OWLs and NEWT examination mode this year.

At that time, the interview will not be so important. After all, candidates can prove their ability with the completed tasks.

A warrior skilled at chopping off evil spirits' heads can make a pineapple tap dance across a table, but the reverse is not necessarily true.

Les's comfort was effective, and Astoria soon stopped paying attention to the exam questions. She was now more curious about another thing.

"I'm going to divination class with Les. Do you have class in the morning, sister?"

Daphne:......

Oh no, why didn't she think of this? While becoming Rice's "senior", she also lost the opportunity to take classes with Rice!

"I--"

"Don't skip classes. I saw your schedule. You have Potions class this morning. You should learn more about Potions. Professor Snape has a solid basic skill. You should learn from him. Also, maintain discipline for me." Seeing that Daphne seemed to have some inappropriate thoughts, Les hurriedly stopped her and forcibly sent Daphne to the basement classroom of the Potions class.

The reason for doing this is that Snape really has some skills, and Les believes that Daphne can indeed learn valuable knowledge from him.

Now Daphne has entered the sixth grade, and the content of the potion class is no longer the common stuff like swelling potion, but high-end potions like love potion. Every class, Hogwarts' teaching funds are burning - the money spent on a sixth-grade potion class is enough to feed the whole school for a week.

The second reason is related to the course arrangement. In order to reduce the teaching pressure of professors, many courses are taught by students from two colleges together, and after the fifth year, four colleges are taught together. This means that Slytherin and Gryffindor have to take potions class in the same room.

Rice had just given a speech last night, and naturally he hoped that the students in the college could be a true Slytherin as he said in his speech.

It is normal that a big change cannot be achieved all at once, but Rice also hopes that they can "understand the spirit of the meeting" and stop causing trouble in the school.

As for the person who could most intensify the conflict with Gryffindor, needless to say, it must be Malfoy. So Les needed Daphne to help him control the situation.

He would never allow anyone to stand up at this point in time and blatantly go against his own ideals.

Slytherin students who continue to fight after the "Lounge Room Speech" will be severely punished!

With these two reasons, how could Rice allow Daphne to skip the Potions class? So he warned Daphne in a stern tone that she must go to the Potions class today.

But Daphne was not discouraged because Les gave her a task!

She will definitely carry out the supervisory tasks assigned by Rice perfectly.

Daphne left happily. Astoria looked at her sister's departing back with complicated eyes and couldn't help but sigh.

"Les, my sister..."

"It's okay, it's just a phenomenon of atavism. Muggles have done some research on this, and the specific manifestation is..." Les was in a very open-minded mood.

In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with Daphne being like her ancestors. Because Godric's heir position was still vacant, Les had some ideas.

Admittedly, I didn't want Daphne to be Godric's heir at first because it was against the rules, and the child's talent was indeed amazing.

But now his mind has changed a little.

Godric seemed to be compatible with Daphne, and she could learn more from him and progress faster. She couldn't block her child's future just for her own selfishness.

As for the so-called "rules", Hogwarts is now in a stage of change, and some old rules do not necessarily need to be followed.

Of course, in addition to these obvious reasons, there is another reason why Les feels Daphne can become the heir of Gryffindor.

The heir of Gryffindor was born in Slytherin, so didn't I win?

This was equivalent to merging the two colleges into one in disguise, and Slytherin annexed Gryffindor. From then on, Slytherin and Gryffindor were two colleges on the surface, but in fact they were one family at the level of heirs!

Rice was so excited just thinking about it.

This is the right to interpret the Gryffindor spirit. To put it bluntly, when the four old guys are all dead or leave Hogwarts, what exactly is the Gryffindor spirit will still be decided by Daphne and her successors?

If you are a little more ruthless, you can even directly confuse the Gryffindor spirit with the spirit of chivalry, and then inject the traditional aristocratic spirit of Western Europe, and directly make Gryffindor College an academy that worships bloodline - although Rice will not let Daphne do this.

Only a carefree guy like Godric would make such a "mistake". Putting aside this dark thought, Daphne can really be said to be an excellent heir to Gryffindor, and Rice deeply understands this.

Astoria didn't know that her sister's fate had quietly changed at this moment. She was attracted by the "atavism phenomenon" mentioned by Les. After figuring out what it was, she couldn't help laughing.

The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the divination classroom.

There were already quite a few people waiting downstairs in the classroom. Les heard someone complaining about the Divination teacher, Sybill Trelawney.

"Professor Trelawney must be very disappointed, because she kept telling us last year that she had foreseen Rice's death."

“I wonder how she’s going to fulfill her prophecy this year?”

"As if you didn't say anything?"

Listening to the conversation between the two people, Rice almost laughed out loud.

Didn't expect it? Professor Trelawney's prediction was actually correct. He did experience death two years ago, but that time he took the initiative to embrace death and thus ushered in a new life, just like the nirvana of the phoenix.

I wonder if Professor Trelawney saw her own resurrection when she peered into the future? If she could, she would be a god.

Astoria whispered in Les' ear, telling him that Daphne was furious after hearing that Trelawney had predicted Les' death.

If she and Cedric had not arrived in time, Hogwarts Castle might have lost a tower forever.

"Oh? Tell me in detail?" Les' curiosity was aroused, and he asked Astoria to tell him what happened.

"It's like this..." Astoria told Les everything.

After hearing this, Rice laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.

"Divination is risky!" he said with a smile. The people of the Trelawney family are really miserable. Few people will believe their predictions, even if they are correct.

However, Daphne's actions also touched Les: Although this child seemed to be a little stupid most of the time, she was still a very nice person.

Eh? Isn't this Godric's character?

While a few people were chatting and laughing, the trap door of the divination classroom was moved open, and the little wizards walked into the circular classroom one by one.

The first thing Rice did when he walked in was to look around and take in the situation of the classroom.

As expected, the walls, floor, and ceiling were all brand new. The glass on the windows had also been replaced. Although there were still some shelves along the wall, there were fewer divination instruments on them, and it was obvious that they had been bought not long ago.

As for Professor Trelawney, when she appeared, she was like Professor Quirrell, with her head wrapped in a thick turban that smelled of medicine.

She was hiding something too.

The only difference is that Professor Quirrell wanted to cover up Voldemort on the back of his head, while Professor Trelawney wanted to cover up her own bald head - Daphne's magical flame not only burned all her hair, but also restricted the growth of new hair, so that no matter what hair growth potion she used, Professor Trelawney's head was still bald.

If you want to have beautiful hair again, you may have to awaken your realm, or wait patiently for more than ten years.

Looking at the big turban, the expression on Rice's face suddenly went out of control.

"Welcome." Although she had lost her hair, Professor Trelawney's voice was still ethereal.

"Especially you, my dear child." To Les's surprise, Professor Trelawney walked straight up to him and gave him an unfathomable smile.

"I once foresaw your death in the crystal ball..." Professor Trelawney's disembodied voice echoed in the seemingly empty classroom.

Astoria, who was standing behind Rice, lowered her eyes.

She didn't expect that Professor Trelawney was so stubborn and dared to predict her death in front of everyone.

Isn't Rice standing here just fine?! How dare she do that? Shouldn't we just ignore it and pretend nothing happened? Students are forgetful. It doesn't even take half a semester for anyone to remember this incident.

She couldn't figure it out.

"I have tried various divination methods time and again, but the results have never changed..." Trelawney continued, "Until later, I saw your rebirth in divination. You will embrace death and be reborn. Congratulations, my child, you succeeded."

Astoria's eyes widened. She didn't expect Trelawney to be able to make such a thing come true. Those students who still chose to believe in divination were extremely excited.

Les looked at Professor Trelawney with a smile on her face, feeling mixed emotions.

On the surface, this was just a liar's excuse after her scam was exposed, but in fact, what she said was true, which made Rice a little uncertain.

Did she see her own resurrection? That was a question Les felt he could not answer except with Veritaserum or Legilimency.

But he did not want to use them on a descendant of a prophet, because a certain degree of respect should be maintained for fate.

After a brief "reminiscence" with Rice, Trelawney contentedly began today's divination class.

When it came to the practical part, Rice followed the instructions and lit the herbs one by one and threw them into the small charcoal stove in front of him. He wanted to burn the femur of the chicken snake beast inside and then perform divination based on the cracks on it.

The flames rose, wrapping the animal bones, and smoke rose.

Rice suddenly opened his eyes wide: he felt an unusual rhythm. He was very familiar with this rhythm, which was the fluctuation of fate he felt in the parallel world.

The wisp of smoke in front of me seemed to really attract the power of fate!
