Della Bush's Love Story

Chapter 49 The Misfortune of the Prophet

The next morning, while Della was still in her bedroom, she heard that Durmstrang's big ship had returned from the great lake in the Forbidden Forest.

"I thought there was going to be another send-off or something," she said to Fred, sitting at the breakfast table. It wasn't that she hated Krum, she just thought there would be another dance.

Fred shrugged and said sharply, "They lost."

Well, there's a good reason for that.

The French witches are still there, and they've even started taking lessons with the Hogwarts students.These ardent French witches take the seventh year at Hogwarts by storm.

Many couples broke up because of this.

Hermione said, "Aren't they worried about their grades at all? There's an exam coming up!"

Della suddenly lost her appetite.

She put down her knife and fork and said to Fred, "I need to go to the principal's office. What are you going to do?"

Fred: "I promised George to play Quidditch with him. Angelina, she thinks we need to start preparing for next year's competition."

"Next year?" Della repeated.

"She's like a second Wood," said Fred, shaking his head.

The former captain of the Quidditch team, Wood, graduated last year. From this year, their captain has become Angelina.

Angelina used to tell them that she was fine with the Triwizard Tournament, but she had wasted a year on it.

"I had a chance to win one more championship!" The Quidditch Academy Cup championship is the wish of every Quidditch team captain.

Therefore, Angelina started to gather the team members for training now.Anyway, the Triwizard Tournament is over.

Della and Fred made an appointment to meet at noon and went to the principal's office.When she passed the fourth floor, she saw a group of girls weeping in front of the window looking at the big lake in the Forbidden Forest. They must be missing the idol Krum who left.

She was the same four weeks ago.But thinking about it now, it seems like it happened in the last life.

She also saw Lavender, she was with Parvati.She quickly avoided them.

Since last night, Lavender didn't have a good face when he saw anyone he knew with Ron.She was rude to Hermione, mocking her hair.She wasn't nice to Harry either, teasing him about his size and saying that Hermione would definitely grow taller than him in the future.She also wanted to laugh at Della, but finally swallowed the words back.

May be afraid of becoming bald.

And as soon as she saw Ron, she would immediately throw herself into the arms of her friends and cry.

Ron would run away immediately.

"It's all Ron's fault," Hermione said to Della, who said, "I think he's regretting it."

"Oh, no." Della sighs, this is so...irresponsible.

She asked Fred, would Ron make up with Lavender?

Fred thought for a while, and asserted: "If he doesn't reconcile with Lavender before the end of this year's semester, they will reconcile within a month at most after the start of next year's semester." He said to Della who couldn't believe it, "That's the way Ron is. He keeps changing his mind." He sighed slightly and said of his little brother: "He doesn't take pressure very well."

That is to say, if Lavender can forget about his new relationship immediately, Ron will let go of it; but if Lavender has been immersed in the broken relationship, and has been like this, Ron will change his mind.

The principal's office has a particularly interesting escalator hidden behind an ugly stone statue.

Della stood in front of the stone statue, and after saying her name, the stone statue jumped aside.

She stood on the stone platform, and the stone platform rotated and rose.Every time she stands on it, she thinks: There were escalators in the wizarding world 1000 years ago.

"Come in." Dumbledore opened the door for Della, "Sit down, would you like some tea?"

Della smelled the tea and sat down happily, "Give me a cup, please. Ah!" She also saw the scones!Fresh from the oven!

Dumbledore smiled and handed her two cups of jam, along with a bowl of whipped cream.

The jams are apples and oranges.

"I was just having breakfast," said Dumbledore. "Perhaps you can have a little more with me. The Durmstrang students just left, do you know?"

Della was spreading applesauce, and the rich, sweet aroma of apples wafted through her nostrils.

"Yes. Everyone says the boat is gone," she said.

"Eat, eat." Dumbledore came back from the window sill, sat down, took a piece of scone with cream, and began to worry about which kind of jam would be better.

Della's involuntary suggestion: "Applesauce! This must be fresh!"

"Oh." Dumbledore obediently obeyed, scooping up a large spoonful of applesauce.

Their stomachs were full after the scones, and the air smelled of applesauce and cream.

Dumbledore: "Della, do you remember what you said to me last night?" Della remembered that she still had a grave to fill.But for a while, she couldn't find a suitable reason.

She opened her mouth: "I..."

Dumbledore raised his hand: "Please listen to me first."

"Have you ever heard of a seer?" he said.

Della nodded.

The principal thought she was a prophet?No, she is not.

She shook her head: "I don't..."

Dumbledore raised his hand again to stop her, "Now, let me act as the History of Magic professor temporarily and tell you some little secrets."

Then Della heard many stories about prophets whose fate was not so good.

As early as 3000 years ago, there have been prophets in the world.

The history of wizards can be traced back to the time of King Arthur, and after the establishment of Hogwarts, wizards also consciously collected the words and phrases left by the prophets.

Most of the seers who survive to be known have famous predictions.

The misfortune of some prophets is that they predict too many things, spanning thousands of years.

"Of course, we are confirming his prophecies, and many of them have come true." Dumbledore stood up, took a book from his bookcase, opened it, and read a passage to her:

"I walk in the cracks of time and space, and I don't know where I am." Dumbledore finished reading, and said: "He is a poor man. It can be seen from his diary that he often does not know where he is. At what time. The world and time became fragments for him, and he couldn't put them together, so he could only stay in the chaotic time and space forever."

Dumbledore smiled at Della: "Della, do you know where you are right?"

Della froze.

Dumbledore: "You are at Hogwarts. By your side, you have loving parents, noisy brothers and sisters, and your lover."

Della lowered her head and answered after a long time: "Yes."

Dumbledore didn't continue to talk about the story of this prophet, he started talking about another prophet.

This prophet's fate was no better than the last.The last prophet seemed to be unable to tell which world and time he was in all his life.

And this one, he can always tell the misfortunes of the people around him, and over time, he becomes the most unlikable person, and in the end he can only live in isolation and live alone all his life.

"When we encounter bad things, we always run away. Sometimes we resent the people who tell us these things. This is a sad part of human nature. Many people can't avoid it." Dumbledore sighed, but he immediately said Della smiled: "But I consider myself an old man who has lived long enough. I have enough ability to bear the misfortunes of life. I am not afraid of danger or sadness. What do you think?"

Della could only smile dryly and nod: "Yes, I think you are such a brave person."

She thought that this time Dumbledore would continue talking, would continue to "press" her about what she said about Cedric's death.

But Dumbledore talked about a third prophet.

His fate is not better than the first two, because his predictions are sometimes accurate and sometimes not.And there are more inaccuracies.In the end, he stopped prophesying to people, but wrote down the prophecy instead, which was not discovered until after his death.

His life also attracted a lot of resentment, but also a lot of gratitude.But there is no exception, that is, people always expect more from him than he needs to bear.

He left a sentence engraved on the tombstone: "People always expect me to do as much and as well as God. So I went to God."

Della fell silent.

She had figured it out, and Principal Dumbledore used the three prophets to reassure her.

He will guarantee that she will not encounter the misfortunes and difficulties that these three prophets have encountered.

At least not with him.

—Maybe, she doesn't have to insist that she's not a prophet.

Dumbledore came to Della and held her hand: "Are you willing to trust your partner?"

Della shook it back.
