Chapter 969 I Am Unknown! (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket and a Big Chapter!)

Hogwarts, Divination classroom.

As Professor Trelawney finished her opening remarks, there was a tense silence in the classroom.

However, she seemed completely unfazed by this.

"Honey? I guess we have to start class anyway?"

Professor Trelawney turned her head, looked at Qiu Zhang who was still stunned on the cushion, showed a weak smile, and repeated softly.

"Can you hand me the biggest teapot? Well, it's the teapot we used in class a few weeks ago—"

This should be the most thorough and clear sentence that students have heard since the beginning of class.

Cho Chang looked relieved, stood up, took a huge teapot from the shelf and placed it on the table in front of Professor Trelawney.

"Thank you, dear. By the way, be careful of those eyes lingering on you - even if the unknown direction is the unavoidable destination of those people, at least you will not be so sad when you cry. This is not your fault. , everything is a tragedy that has already been written by fate."

Qiu Zhang started shaking like a sieve.

This wasn't the first time she heard something like this. Elena seemed to have said it before?

The only difference is that the previous time was "group intimidation", and this time she faced single-target pointing skills.

When playing Werewolf the night before yesterday, Elena told everyone, consciously or unconsciously, to try not to get involved in relationships too early in school. If premature death occurs, they may have to heal the shadow for more than ten years - fall in love. It's best to wait until you're about to graduate.

This was one of the reasons why Cho Chang delayed attacking Cedric Diggory.

Many girls in Ravenclaw Academy feel that Elena is particularly evil. They rumored that Elena may have some kind of extremely evil curse magic.

After all, judging from the various events that happened last year, those who are her enemies will eventually encounter misfortune - some are avenged by her personally, while others are either eaten up or encountered in the dark magic defense assessment. "Dark Potion", or he performed abnormally during the exam...

Compared to Luna, the "lucky star" who is as efficacious as a little angel, Elena is equivalent to the "evil god" in the minds of many girls.

"Okay, okay, okay."

Professor Trelawney said softly in that soft, vague voice.

Amidst the smoke that was rising and lingering in the classroom, carrying a strange fragrance, her tall and thin figure looked a little erratic.

"Classmates, now, I want to ask you to divide into two groups. Take a teacup from the shelf next to the classroom and come to me. I will fill your teacups with tea. Then you sit down and drink tea. Drink until only the tea leaves remain. Use your left hand to gently shake the tea leaves three times in the teacup, then flip the teacup upside down on the tray; wait until the last drop of tea has seeped out, then remove your hand , hand the tea cup to your partner for interpretation. We can interpret the shape of the tea leaves by referring to the content on pages 5 and 6 of "Pull through the Fog to See the Future". I will also patrol among you to help you and guide you. You. Oh. Dear—"

Professor Trelawney suddenly stopped and looked straight ahead in confusion.

"Professor?" Hermione raised her hand.

"Well, what's the matter, Miss Granger?"

"I don't have a book, and neither does Elena - when we started this semester, we didn't expect to have the opportunity to take a divination class -"

"Ah, yes. Professor Dumbledore mentioned this... But don't worry, kid, don't worry at all. This is the Divination classroom at Hogwarts. I have seen these problems a long time ago. Under the locker There are some old textbooks that have just been sorted out. You can use them first, and then you can write to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to buy a new set... Touching other people's old books will cause entanglements in fate... it may obscure your third eye..."

Professor Trelawney said softly, standing up and walking to the locker next to the cup rack.

She groped inside for a while, took out two tattered thick books with black covers, and handed them to Elena and Hermione.

The black book cover depicts a full moon shrouded in clouds, as well as the title of the book in light silver: "Pull Through the Fog to See the Future."

The author of this book is the only remaining "Ministry of Magic-approved" prophet in the British wizarding world today, Cassandra Wabraski. The ninety-eight-year-old Cassandra now has almost the same status in the divination academic community. On the status of her apprentice Newt Scamander in the field of magical beasts.

At the same time, she is also Professor Trelawney’s second most admired witch in her life, the legendary Crystal Seer.

"Okay," Professor Trelawney returned to her desk and opened her arms towards the students, "Let's start, try to open your third eye..."

After Elena and Hermione's teacups were filled, they returned to their tables.

The tea was boiling hot, and many students grimaced or blew air desperately, hoping to drink the hot tea quickly.

"Wait, wait, Elena! We can't, at least we shouldn't do this-"

"Immobulus! (The ground is freezing and the sky is freezing!)"

Elena retracted her wand lightly and gave a "reassuring" look to the uneasy little beaver beside her.

As a "prophet" marked by Professor Dumbledore and Professor Trelawney, she can naturally use any method to assist divination. Even if she is caught on the spot casting a spell, she can still use her superb acting skills to fool her. She doesn't want to be stupid. He blew on the ground to cool down the tea.

The "Freezing Charm" that Professor Flitwick had explained in Charms class worked very well.

Under Elena's magic, the steaming tea quickly cooled down - the thermal movement of molecules slowed down, which is not difficult to understand.

"You will affect the results of the divination-" Hermione lowered her voice and frowned as she read the instructions in the book.

"It's not stated in the book. Or...you can report me to the professor?"

"Forget it, let's move on to the next step."

Hermione sighed helplessly, she felt that one day she would be imprisoned by this group of people.

While Professor Trelawney was still patrolling the classroom, Hermione glared at Elena, quickly picked up the cup of "herbal tea" that looked like it had just been taken out of the refrigerator and drank it quickly - it was cold. The tea instantly dispelled the dull sleepiness caused by the incense in the classroom.

Hermione squinted her eyes and savored the refreshing coolness flowing between her lips and teeth. It was hard to imagine that they were still radiating heat a second ago.

Sure enough, just as Elena showed in the spell class, she has mastered the advanced changes of the freezing spell.

Under Hermione's silent gaze of condemnation, Elena did not do anything out of the ordinary in the subsequent sessions. They drank all the tea, shook the teacup a few times, and drained the tea just like Professor Trelawney had taught them before. , exchanged cups with each other.

"Okay," Elena said, and they both turned the book to pages five and six at the same time, "What did you see in my teacup?"

"Lots of soaked brown stuff, obviously," said Hermione.

As the brief coolness dissipated, the thick, fragrant heat in the classroom surged up again, making her feel a little stuffy.

"Expand your mind, my dears! Let your sight go beyond the physical world!"

Professor Trelawney's voice echoed in the dim classroom.

Hermione tried to concentrate, but also tried to immerse herself in the hallucination.

"Well, your tea leaves look like a kind of rickety cross..."

She said while carefully checking the explanation in "Pull Through the Fog to See the Future".

"It means you will soon encounter trials and tribulations - that's a pretty snake oil description - but there's another pattern here that looks like it's supposed to be a sun omen. Wait...the sun means 'great joy'... …So you might face trials, but you can be happy?”

"If you ask me, I think your prophetic aura is not weak either? This sounds very reliable."

Elena said, having to fight not to smile as Professor Trelawney glanced in her direction.

"It's my turn..."

Elena peered into Hermione's teacup, imitating Luna's erratic voice as best she could.

"Oh, the black column rising on the horizon, this is a bowler hat," she said. "Maybe you will enter the Ministry of Magic in the future and become a Minister of Magic similar to Mr. Cornelius Fudge. Awesome When the time comes, I can walk sideways outside..."

"Come on, Elena. I'm not going into politics—and, stop it."

Hermione glanced at Elena helplessly. Of course she knew that this guy was imitating Luna.

Ignoring Hermione, Elena turned the tea cup to the other side and continued to play the prophet's game.

"But this way it looks more like an acorn... what is it?"

She flipped through her old and worn-out book, "Pull Through the Fog and See the Future" that seemed to have been soaked in tea, and spoke in a low voice.

"Wow! Windfall, unexpected gold! Well, let me think about it, it seems that the year-end bonus of "The Quibbler" is about to be given out? You probably haven't thought about this before. A perfect prophecy, remember to share it with me later Some as reward for prophecy. There is something else here..."

Elena acted like a prophet vividly and twirled the tea cup again.

"This looks like an animal. Well, it looks like a pig, a snake, a tiger, a rabbit, a cow, and a sheep... I know what this is, yes, it should be It's a big orange cat... Look, like this, it looks like you're going to get a cat soon? That's really good."

The wand in Elena's hand gently poked the bottom of the table, and a hazy layer of light and shadow emerged above the tea leaves.

The light and shadow were dark shadows at first, but gradually became clearer as she analyzed the tea leaves.

"Cat? Pfft——"

Hermione was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.

Professor Trelawney turned quickly, just in time to see the last glimmer of light disappearing from the teacup.

"Let me see, honey."

She frowned and looked at Elena, quickly walked over and took the teacup from Elena's hand.

Although she was not particularly good at spells, during her long time teaching at Hogwarts, Professor Trelawney was well aware that some students would secretly use magic in class. Something that cannot be avoided, but only today...

Compared to those who use magic to disguise their talents, she is still more intolerant of little guys who waste their precious talents.

"Please stay serious in class. Divination is not a subject suitable for fun and fun."

Everyone fell silent and stared at Professor Trelawney.

Hermione was so nervous that her face turned pale for a moment. This was the first time she had lost her temper in class.

It’s over, it’s over!

Everything is Elena's fault!

This white-haired dumpling is a troublemaker!

Professor Trelawney stared at Hermione's teacup and slowly turned it counterclockwise.

"Cat... dear, you have to be careful about being deceived or betrayed by your close friends..."

"This should probably be read as partners. The emergence of new partners."

Elena quickly retorted, looking at Professor Trelawney with a wary expression, and happened to meet Professor Trelawney's gaze.

"Look here, there are positive and negative interpretations written in the book——"

Elena pointed to the content in the book, "Counterclockwise rotation is a sign of reverse affixes, but after the two of us changed hands, the current position of the cup of tea became the smooth grip Hermione held when it was handed out. So it should be flipped again. It's a physical mirror swap."

The surrounding third-grade students looked at Elena in surprise and admiration.

This was their first class with Elena, and they had never heard of a student questioning what the professor was explaining before.

Compared to the dozen other magical disciplines in Hogwarts, Divination is obviously more awe-inspiring. Not to mention, questioning the professor in this kind of class where subjective understanding is important is no less than questioning the ugly painting of the teacher in an abstract painting class.

However, Professor Trelawney did not answer Elena.

She glanced at Elena thoughtfully, and calmly changed the teacup to her left hand.

Then, Professor Trelawney lowered her big scary eyes, looked at Hermione's teacup, and continued to turn the teacup around.

"Bludgeon... an attack. Boy, oh boy, this is not a pleasant cup of tea..."

"But in my opinion, it's more like a bowler hat symbolizing power." Elena added politely and softly.

"Skeleton...the future is in danger, my dear..."

"Scattered gold coins, this should be considered a good sign, right? Unless it hits the head with gold galleons."

Everyone stared at Professor Trelawney with their mouths open, and from time to time looked at Elena who kept adding completely opposite opinions.

However, what confused the whole class was that Professor Trelawney seemed to have blocked Elena's voice, and still kept her own rhythm while turning the tea cup to make predictions one after another - she finally turned the tea cup again and took a big sip. He took a breath of air and screamed.

Amidst Hermione's raised and increasingly dissatisfied expression, Professor Trelawney sat down in the empty armchair next to her.

Her shiny hands, covered with various pendants, caressed her heart, her eyes closed.

"Oh my God - the second one today - my dear child - no - it would be better not to say it - don't ask me -"

"You couldn't have...seen something ominous in my tea cup, right?"

Hermione's mouth twitched and she asked bluntly.

She began to doubt whether her choice of this course was a wise decision, not that she had much evidence to prove that Professor Trelawney was lying, mainly because of the similar performances of Elena in the past year or so. Every once in a while there comes a period.

If this kind of thing can be regarded as a prophet, then Elena can definitely be regarded as a prophet no less than Professor Trelawney.

"Don't worry, Hermione, I don't think this seems ominous anyway-"

Elena shrugged helplessly and chose to protect her little wings without hesitation.

Anyway, when the class first started, Professor Trelawney took the initiative to send her an "officially recognized gold water", claiming that the "halo" surrounding Elena was extremely bright, and she was now using it as a countermeasure against Trelawney. Professor Ni’s “unknown” reason.

"Oh, my dear, don't you understand?"

At this moment, Professor Trelawney's big eyes opened dramatically and looked deeply at Elena.

"I am not making predictions about Miss Granger, but about some simple and superficial future resonances about you, Elena Kaslana, who handed me the tea cup... As for what you said before , of course, this is obviously how you should behave..."

"Eh? What are you talking about?" Elena blinked and her expression froze slightly.

"You are also a seer, Miss Kaslana, Professor Dumbledore told me before class."

Professor Trelawney looked at Elena calmly, gently put down the tea cup in her hand, and continued amidst the whispers of the young wizards.

"It's not Miss Granger's ominousness, it's your ominousness - you are the source of the ominousness! The future resonance will pay the price, it will extinguish the aura of the people around you like a whirlpool, you have to learn to control yourself Only with the power can we make accurate predictions..."

Elena, who had been watching the show and being excited, had a flash of surprise in her eyes.

So that’s it, Professor Trelawney has been laying the groundwork for so long, is the result waiting for her here?

Albus Dumbledore's mission?

"Oh? So..."

Elena said softly with an undiminished smile.

"I——I don't know? I don't understand...are you admonishing or prophesying?"
