Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 373 Death Prophecy

"Your cat?"

  Katrina looked at the two people sitting there, and then at the fat cat on the table, and she knew who the cat belonged to.

   "Well, this is Tom." Albert reached out and pressed the dried fish left on the table, picked up his wand and waved it, resealed the package of the dried fish, and stuffed it into the pocket of his jacket.

   "Silent spell?"

  Katrina's expression was a bit complicated. Albert's lightly repairing spell just now undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to her.

   Silent spells were only introduced in the fifth grade. She also tried a few of the simplest spells, but all of them failed.

   "No, I recited a spell." Albert said with a smile, not admitting that he could spell silently.

  Katrina doesn't believe it. This guy in front of him likes to talk to fool others. He really thinks he's deaf?

   "If you're done, don't occupy the seat." She said, "Also, your cat should lose weight. I've never seen a cat so fat. How can you catch mice?"

   "Tom doesn't need to be able to catch mice, he just needs to be cute." Albert said with a smile. He gave Katrina his place, moved himself to the table that just appeared in the corner, and started to make new wizard cards. Since this new card game is going to be popular, it is natural that he needs to spend some time on it.

  As for the materials and styles, he has already collected and designed them during the summer vacation. Although he can't use magic at home, he can't do anything.

The back of the wizard card will be two crossed wands, plus a hat as the background. He originally planned to use W as the background, but thinking about the Ministry of Magic using this thing, Albert simply gave up. Changed to a nice wizard peaked hat.

  However, considering the plan to use the copy spell to promote it, there is no magical effect on it. Well, it's just an ordinary Muggle card.

  Wizard cards 1.1 version is far better than the hand-written version.

  Of course, in order to draw a big pie for everyone, Albert still made his own cards very delicately, so that they can see what the wizard cards will look like in the future.

  Everyone needs to have some dreams and expectations.

  Albert put the cards into the box one by one, so that Tom's claws would not be harmed.

   "I feel that divination class is rubbish!"

  A voice came from the side, and Albert turned his head to look, and saw that Katrina was predicting this month's luck with the help of "Piercing the Fog to See the Future".

   Katrina is restless, she has already taken several classes and cannot see the future of this class.

  What to use to interpret tea leaves, it is a pile of garbage.

There is no way, except for Albert, a guy who seems to be able to divination, and who can talk nonsense with Professor Trelawney, the others have completely lost their previous curiosity and expectations for this class, and they all understand Why would that Professor Trelawney be considered a liar.

   As for the homework, just one glance can tell that it's all made up?

  Professor Trelawney likes to watch people predict some bad things about themselves.

   Then, most people's homework is what bad things will happen to them this month.

  Katrina is not a perfunctory person, so she really doesn't like the divination class.

   "Isobel, why didn't you give up this class?" Katrina asked her sister, and she even doubted whether Isobel could learn any useful knowledge from this class.

"The divination class is like that. Although I don't know how to divination, I can still learn some basic things." Isobel looked up at his sister and said lightly, "Divination requires talent. From the beginning, especially Professor Lilawney said it."

   "Your tone really resembles Albert." Katrina was a little unhappy.

   "Is someone calling me?"

   Albert's voice came from not far away.

   "I'm not calling you." Katrina said angrily.

   "I'm not deaf." Albert looked at Katrina meaningfully, "I heard everything just now."

   "Well, I just said why I chose this **** divination." Katrina said anxiously: "Maybe, I should throw them into the trash can, that's where they should go."

Albert glanced at Isobel, then looked at Katrina's parchment with not many words written on it, raised his eyebrows and said: "You don't know enough about this subject, and you don't understand its own positioning. clear."

   "Well, let me hear your opinion, Mr. Great Prophet."

"Professor Trelawney, in my opinion, is just a low-level prophet. I don't think she can even bear such a heavy term. She is at best a fortune-teller in the Muggle world." Albert pulled A chair sat down beside them, and continued, "In the Muggle world, first-rate fortunetellers can usually predict something through some clues."

   "For example, your mentality, habits, reactions, and even other things, or analyze the answer from some trivial information, or achieve it by secretly giving you a psychological hint."

   "So, that's how you predicted that the former Forbidden Forest was dangerous..." Katrina raised her eyebrows, but was interrupted by Isobel, motioning for Albert to continue.

"Those who think rigorously will not like the so-called divination, unless they are true prophets, and wizards who can truly predict the future are very respected." Albert glanced at Katrina, who was in an upset mood, without rushing He went on to say: "I don't think Dumbledore is very interested in Professor Trelawney's so-called divination or prediction, or our headmaster doesn't believe in Professor Trelawney's theory at all. In the eyes of Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor Trelawney may be a boastful person who has no self-knowledge.

   "But why did Principal Dumbledore hire Professor Trelawney instead of choosing other wizards, or simply cancel this class." Katrina asked her doubts.

   "How much do you know about the name Trelawney?"

"What?"

"Cassandra Trelawney is a very famous prophet." Isobel explained: "Professor Trelawney probably has something to do with that person, and the talent for prediction is usually inherited, Abel What I mean is that Dumbledore couldn't have hired Professor Trelawney because of her reputation, unless she had something real."

   "That's it."

   "I can't see that Professor Trelawney has any real skills." Katrina muttered, "She is not as eloquent as Albert in fooling others."

"Professor Trelawney must have made a prophecy to Dumbledore, and that prophecy came true." Albert pretended not to hear Katrina's words, "It's just that the one who really didn't inherit much The prophecy talent of the Trelawney family prevented her from prophesying normally."

   "You seem to be able to say it." Katrina muttered, "Maybe, I should tell Professor Flitwick to give up the divination class."

   "You can give up Muggle studies together, so that you will have a normal homework schedule." Isobel suggested kindly.

   "Forget it, I've learned everything, how can I give up!" Katrina hesitated for a moment, but was still going to persevere, she didn't want to make herself a joke of others.

"At the end of the divination class, we will examine tea divination, palmistry and crystal ball divination." Isobel didn't try to persuade him anymore, and talked about the information he had collected, "Usually, as long as you finish the most basic knowledge, at least You can get a passing grade, and those examiners don't expect you to be able to truly predict the future."

"Of course they didn't expect it. There are only a few wizards who can really predict the future." Albert made his voice sound like it was coming from a long distance, imitating Professor Trelawney's tone of voice: "So, You now understand why Professor Trelawney said that Divination is the most difficult of all magical arts. If you don't have 'sight', there is very little I can teach you in this regard , books can only take you so far..."

   "Are you really good at divination?" Katrina once again asked her inner doubts.

   "Would you believe me if I said that Professor Dumbledore would die within ten years?" Albert said suddenly.

   "Principal Dumbledore is already very old, well, I know what you mean!" Katrina understood what Albert meant.

  Actually, it is in a big circle to predict a possible event, even if it does not happen, it will not affect Albert.

   After all, there are still ten years to go, and I probably have forgotten about it by then, and this guy has never said that he knows divination, and you can't say he is a liar.

   "Okay, another liar." Katrina understood Albert's operation, "All the predictions are indeed lies."
