Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 196 Similar prophecies

  Albert noticed the change in the expression on Isobel's face, and suddenly felt like laughing.

   After all, he knew something about Professor Trelawney, who predicted the death of a student every year.

  Predicting that someone will be unlucky is actually not a strange thing, after all, it is also a job.

  Professor Trelawney, who has not entered the special divination state, just listen to the divination as entertainment, there is no need to take it seriously.

  At this moment, Professor Trelawney has returned to her seat, fetched a book from nowhere, and began to explain to the three people the use of ancient runes in divination and how to analyze the results of the prophecy. Professor Babling sometimes raises some questions, and sometimes makes some supplements.

  Contrary to Isobel, Albert listened with gusto. He was thinking about how to get himself a runestone divination skill.

  Professor Trelawney's divination may not be reliable, but her panel skills are very reliable.

  Divination ability is actually a skill that Albert wants, but what he wants to learn is crystal ball divination. As for the rune stone divination that he comes into contact with now, it is purely accidental. If he can learn it, it will naturally be good.

   After all, no one would dislike their own skills.

   There are actually many kinds of runes for divination, such as one, three, five, six, and seven. Professor Trelawney happily explained to them the interpretation methods of all runes.

  Isobel was obviously a little impatient, but she still patiently listened to Trelawney, while Albert was wandering, checking whether there were more ancient rune stone divinations on the skill panel.

  During the period, Professor Trelawney gave them two more divinations, as if to prove his identity as a fortuneteller.

  However, Albert's predictions are all about future fortune. However, it turns out that his future fortune will be very good.

   After all, once may be an accident, and twice may also be an accident, but three times, the probability of an accident will be much smaller?

   Could it be that Professor Trelawney is actually a hidden boss?

  Contrary to Albert, Isobel is simply a negative example. All prophecies warn him that there will be danger in the near future and he must make a choice.

  In the last divination, Ward (that is, the empty symbol) actually appeared.

"You will encounter difficulties that cannot be changed by humans. It may come so suddenly that you have no way to grasp it." Professor Trelawney was actually taken aback by herself. She also knew how good her divination was. Yes, I didn't expect to meet two people who had the same fortune three times in a row.

  Although Professor Trelawney was surprised, she also put on such an expression to make herself look unfathomable.

"There is no doubt that you will be in trouble." Trelawney concluded: "And it may lead to your choice, I regret that you did not choose my Divination class, you are still very talented in this area. "

   Albert wanted to laugh after hearing this, what did Isobel say just now?

   "I have no talent for this."

  Isobel obviously also noticed the expression on Albert's face, turned his head and ignored him.

   "If you can choose my class, I will be very happy." Trelawney and Professor Babling chatted together for a few more words, and then they were about to leave. "This is my greeting gift for you."

As she said that, Professor Trelawney gave Albert the bag of runes, the cloth for laying out the array and the book "Divination with Runes" and she said softly: "Good luck, oh , your luck is good enough, isn't it?"

   Albert was a little dazed, and he never thought that Professor Trelawney would give these things to himself. What is this? Think you really have a talent for divination?

  However, Albert scanned the skill panel again, but still couldn't find the rune stone divination skill.

   "Congratulations, Anderson." After Professor Trelawney left, Isobel joked.

   "Thank you, if I really have a talent for divination, I will set up a stall for people to do divination." Albert teased with an unchanged expression, "Your troubles are all right."

   It may not be true that it happened three times in a row, but it is really embarrassing.

  Albert opened the book "Runite Divination", his face twitched slightly, and he handed it to Isobel and said, "Divination still depends on talent."

  The words Trelawney said were taken directly from above.

  Albert was not surprised, showing an expression that really did.

   "The prophecy is actually quite interesting." Albert silently took out a rune stone from his bag, and fell silent immediately.

   "Reverse EIHWAZ" Albert glanced at the rune stone in his hand, what did he want to measure just now?

   "Is this semester going to be in jeopardy?"

   "This is an obvious warning, warning you to be careful... This is not a good omen." He remembered Professor Trelawney's words.

  Is this dangerous?

   Or is it that the runes are not mixed well?

   "What's wrong with you?" Isobel asked.

   "It's nothing." Albert sighed, "I just calculated for myself, this semester will be in danger."

   "Why do you think you are in danger?" Isobel asked back.

   "After all, a lot happened last semester." Albert said.

  The three of them chatted for a while, and each expressed their views on runestone divination. There are very few people who can truly predict the future...

   As for the following words, no one said anything, but obviously they already understood what the other party meant.

   "Okay, let's call it a day." Professor Babling said to the two.

  The two got up one after another, ready to say goodbye and leave, when suddenly, Professor Babling stopped Albert.

   "Mr. Anderson, I have something to ask you."

  Isobel looked at Albert suspiciously, got up and left.

   "Professor Babling, what's the matter?" Albert asked.

   "I'm going to publish a book, a book related to ancient runes. I've already chosen the title, and it's called "Advanced Runes Translation." Professor Babling said suddenly.

   Albert couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and understood what Professor Babling meant.

  The other party wants to help her finish the book together?

   "You want me to help you finish this book?" Albert asked uncertainly.

   "Yes." Professor Babling said, "I hope you can join in the compilation and revision of this book."

  Albert opened his mouth, but did not speak, and quietly listened to Professor Babling finish speaking.

"I hope it can become an important reference book for studying ancient runes." Professor Babling looked helpless, "I originally planned to use Mr. McDougal's "Complete Explanation of Basic Runes" as a reference. book, but I find this book is still too difficult for everyone, so, I hope..."

  Actually, Albert also knows that the study of ancient runes is not about magic, but more about literature. The Ancient Runes class at Hogwarts teaches understanding and translating ancient runes.

   After graduation, usually work in areas of ancient magical ruins, kind of like a Muggle archaeologist.

   If you want to study magic, the starting point is too high, belonging to NEWT level or above.

  Mr. McDougal's "Comprehensive Explanation of Basic Runes" will be extremely difficult even for wizards who are good at ancient runes, let alone others.

"Okay, I'll try my best. I'm really good at magic text translation." Albert nodded in agreement. Although Professor Babling gave it a high-level name, anyone with a discerning eye would know what the content is after reading it. what.

   "That's really great." Professor Babling was very happy. She asked Albert for help, and of course she knew Albert's prowess in magic text translation.

   As she spoke, she waved her wand, conjured a paper bag out of thin air, and handed it to Albert.

   "When Mr. McDougall published "Advanced Rune Research", I was already conceiving this book." Professor Babling said softly, "Later, I revised a part of it."

   "That..." Albert considered his words and said, "Actually, I think...it's pretty good."

   "I won't let you help in vain. I will share half of the money from this book with you, and write your name on it." Professor Babling said.

   "I don't need the name, as for Garen..." Albert was a little skeptical that this thing could sell a few copies, but he didn't say any more.

   After a moment of silence, Albert said again, "I hope to borrow books related to ancient runes from the restricted section of the library."

   "No problem." Professor Babling nodded, and began to search for parchment and quill.

  When leaving the ancient rune classroom, Albert was holding a folder with a complicated look on his face. In his pocket, he had Professor Babling's signature in the restricted area, which was really a pleasant thing.

   "In this way, it will be the second place." He murmured.

   "What's the second place?" A voice suddenly rang in my ear.

  Albert looked for his reputation and found Isobel standing not far away staring at him.

   "You haven't left yet?" Albert looked at the other party in surprise.

   "I have something to ask you." Isobel said.

   "Divination?"

   "No. It's a bet between you and Katrina." Isobel said.

   "You want me to throw in the towel?"

"I don't know what you want to do, I don't know why you want to do this, but I hope you will make this bet secretly and not let too many people know." Isobel said, "Just in the first quiz this year When the oddball competition starts, I will be a witness for you."

   "Okay, I'm fine."
