Chapter 194 This Is Not Divination, Professor Dumbledore
"So, this is the final result?"
Dumbledore, wearing glasses connected by a silver chain, carefully counted all the votes one by one.
"Actually, I have a hard time believing anything you're saying—"
He took off his glasses, hung them on his neck, leaned back, and showed a rare expression of confusion: "Please forgive the verbosity of an old man, in my short life, I have met many people with the gift of prediction. , some people also have a profound impact on me.”
"However, no one can do what you say Professor Tang did in class."
He explained: "That is no longer prediction. Only when you exist in the present and the future at the same time can you accurately control it to that extent. I mean, you can use the future as you like? This is incredible."
"But he did it." Umbridge raised her chin and said proudly: "Dumbledore, you have to admit that you were wrong."
"Please call me Professor Dumbledore." Dumbledore reminded as always: "I have never claimed that I will not misjudge people. In fact, I have misjudged many people, and this has caused many disasters. .Of course, now is not the time to dwell on the past.”
He turned his gaze to Professor McGonagall and said, "Minerva, what is your impression of Professor Tang?"
Professor McGonagall thought carefully, and various adjectives came to mind, but in the end, she just said the most impressive sentence: "He is a true diviner."
"I mean, I'm not sure he'd be a good professor, or a good person, but when it comes to divination, I don't think anyone could ever surpass his achievements."
"Of course not!" Umbridge couldn't wait to interrupt: "He is the person recommended by Minister Fudge! Could Minister Fudge still be mistaken? I'm afraid you don't know that Professor Tang has only been in the British wizarding world for a few days."
"In just a few days, when none of you knew him, Minister Fudge has recommended Professor Tang to me many times!"
"I'm afraid that's because Professor Tang submitted an application to become a professor of Divination to Minister Fudge." Dumbledore said: "Of course, before that, he had conveyed this wish to me through Professor Flitwick. In short, let's go back Let’s get to the point.”
Dumbledore said seriously: "Before announcing our new Divination professor, I hope to have a chat with Professor Tang."
"Minerva, can you help me inform him?"
Umbridge let out a few proud smiles and shouted impatiently: "He already knew you would say that, so he was right outside the door!"
"." Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure and said, "Then, please invite our fortune teller to come in."
The door to the principal's office opened automatically, and the three of them saw Tang Sen, who was tall and tall. As if by coincidence, he happened to walk from one side of the corridor to the door of the principal's office.
He turned around, smiled appropriately, and nodded toward Dumbledore.
"Minerva, Professor Umbridge, you can go to the auditorium first." Dumbledore asked the two professors to leave the office before standing up.
"I heard that Professor Tang is from China?" He conjured up a lot of desserts and a bunch of suspicious-looking cockroaches crawling around. "Would you like some cockroaches?"
"No, I don't like sweets." Tang Sen was grateful for such unfriendly food.
"That's such a pity, this is my favorite snack." Dumbledore did not force it, and chatted: "When I was young, I once wanted to travel to that ancient country, but later due to some reasons, I had to give up. Itinerary."
Tang Sen just smiled and nodded. He did not take the initiative to bring up the topic, but remained polite and listened.
In his consciousness, Smaug was concentrating on staring at the wizard in front of him through his vision.
"I don't see any threat from this human being, except that he does look a bit like Maia."
"I don't need you to pay attention to his appearance, Smaug." Tang Sen said in consciousness: "I need you to pay attention to his deeper things."
"Very calm, Master." Smaug said: "I can't see any of his thoughts. This feeling is different from when facing that little guy. The little guy's mood swings are too dull, and this wizard is even more Like there’s some way to block my observation.”
"Maybe if I come out and take a real look, I can see more."
"Now is not the time for you to appear in front of the world." Tang Sen reminded: "Don't forget what I told you before. This wizard has the same or even stronger ability to see through people's hearts as you. I don't want him to see to some of my memories, so if there is any abnormality, please notify me."
Townsend will never forget that Dumbledore himself is a master of Legilimency.
Although Tang Sen had divined before entering the principal's office that the other party would not use Legilimency on him, Tang Sen was still fully prepared.
Divination is not a panacea. It is normal for unexpected situations to occur due to different angles in interpreting omens. Tang Sen has always kept this in mind.
"If I am not mistaken--"
Dumbledore picked up the topic again and said: "You and Professor Flitwick said that you want to study and exchange divination in the British wizarding world and promote your ideas on divination."
"That's right." Townsend nodded and said, "I can't think of a more suitable place than Hogwarts, which is the academic center of the British wizarding world."
"This is more of a school." Dumbledore said: "Professor Tang, I regret that I did not meet with you immediately after Professor Flitwick communicated with me. You know, I have to treat my students Responsible."
Townsend heard what he meant, so he smiled and said, "Does Professor Dumbledore think I am not suitable to be a teacher?"
Dumbledore did not answer this question, but said: "Although it is a bit offensive, I must admit that Firenze is the candidate for the Divination class teacher in my heart."
"Centaurs may not be good teachers, but they purely love the stars and are not interested in anything in the wizarding world."
"I'm sorry." Tang Sen said: "After all, I am part of the wizarding world."
"Me too." Dumbledore smiled, relaxing the somewhat stiff atmosphere, "Anyway, welcome to Hogwarts."
"I think Professor Umbridge has already mentioned to you the issue of textbooks that students need to prepare."
"I will submit the book list to Professor McGonagall tomorrow," Townsend said.
Dumbledore smiled with satisfaction.
"I have one more small request——"
"Of course, please let Professor Trelawney keep her living room." Townsend smiled and said first, "I just need an office with a fireplace."
"Is this the divination you showed to the students?" Dumbledore swallowed back what he was about to say and sighed, "I have to say, it's amazing."
"No, Professor Dumbledore."
Tang Sen said politely: "This is not divination."
"This is just a normal speculation."
