Chapter 197: Future Fragments About the Resurrection Stone

In the afternoon, Tang Sen walked around the bookstore in Diagon Alley and consulted various divination books in this world.

For example, the original divination course textbook "Looking Through the Fog to See the Future" contained some effective divination methods, such as teacup divination and crystal ball divination. At that time, it was more about some vague words and interpretations, such as Palmistry, dream interpretation or card reading.

People who truly have the ability and talent to predict the future will not use these words and interpretations.

For example, Trelawney, although she is a liar in the eyes of many people - and to a certain extent she is, but one thing that must be mentioned is that she did inherit some prophecies from her ancestors. Gifts, those prophecies are usually not under Trelawney's control, so much so that Trelawney herself doesn't know which ones are real prophecies, and which ones are lies she tells casually.

Another person that Townsend knows who has the ability to predict, the first generation Dark Lord Grindelwald, often does not need to use any divination rituals. His talent and inspiration will allow him to see a certain future when needed. some pictures.

As for Tang Sen himself, his precognition ability comes from the magic potion ability obtained in the previous world, which is more controllable and precise.

In any case, predictability is a rare talent. The fundamental reason why the subject of divination has not been popular among Hogwarts students is because people without talent cannot successfully divination.

Townsend has never felt that he can teach students to predict the future. Even since the establishment of Hogwarts, no Divination professor has been able to do this. In fact, the main content of the Divination class is Let students understand what divination is and the various methods of divination.

On this point, Tang Sen thinks he can do a good job.

In short, Tang Sen quickly decided on the teaching materials for the divination classes of each grade - he removed the books that were useless in terms of words and interpretations, and added a lot of books that recorded many interesting divination methods.

Of course, in fifth grade, students who take the divination class need to face the O.W.Ls exam. The content of this exam is written divination interpretation. This kind of rote memorization and meaningless stuff is also the reason why students hate the divination class. For one, Tang Sen was too lazy to spend a whole year forcing himself and his students to memorize that thing.

Perhaps there is an easier way, such as writing a letter to the Education Department of the Ministry of Magic

After making a list of books, Tang Sen returned to the Leaky Cauldron, had another deep-throated dinner, grabbed a handful of Floo powder, and arrived at his own office the next moment.

"Magic is so convenient."

Tang Sen sighed.

It was almost dusk, and the students had finished their classes for the day. Through the office window, Tang Sen could see many students playing on the lawn under the castle, and there were riding horses on the Quidditch pitch in the distance. The students with broomsticks were flying through the air quickly.

"I wonder if I can learn to ride a broomstick."

Tang Sen came up with this idea, but quickly gave it up. He doubted that his broom would burst into flames before it even flew into the sky.

Obviously, the magic power in his body is different from that of normal wizards. The magic spells that wizards can use well have turned into a disaster in his hands——

Tang Sen has already experimented. Whether it is a floating spell, a repair spell or even some daily spells, as long as he successfully releases them, they will become burning spells or even explosion spells.

"Perhaps it's because I have only absorbed the extraordinary characteristics of the fire dragon so far. The magic power of this magical animal has a relatively single effect."

Tang Sen speculated: "Only by absorbing the extraordinary characteristics of other magical animals can I possess diverse magic powers."

He decided to find an opportunity to ask Professor Flitwick about this aspect of knowledge. The spell master's understanding of magic should be able to answer some of his doubts.

Holding the textbook list he had prepared, Tang Sen opened the door of his office and was about to hand it over to Professor McGonagall, but he unexpectedly discovered a figure standing in the corridor.

Black robe, eerie temperament.

"As a professor at Hogwarts, on your first day of employment, you actually spent most of the time outside the school." Professor Snape was obviously waiting in front of the door specially. When he saw Tang Sen come out, he said with a cold face. He said firmly: "This is very irresponsible."

"To be exact, I haven't officially joined the company yet." Tang Sen didn't take his questioning seriously and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. In fact, if you want to find me, you can go directly to the Leaky Cauldron Bar. I I will eat there every day——"

"I'm not waiting for you." Snape interrupted Townsend and said, "I was just passing by and reminding you that in short, I went back to check the information about the request you made to me at noon."

"Oh?" Tang Sen showed an expectant expression.

"Gastrointestinal problems are easy to solve. Some curses or some mischievous snacks can promote digestion. Of course, these cannot cure it. If you want to strengthen your digestion ability in a long-term and effective way, there is currently no such magic medicine."

He still had a stiff expression, and his tone seemed to be discussing an academic issue.

"I have found several herbs that may be effective. Based on their properties, maybe I can try to concoct the potion you need."

"Professor Snape is indeed a master of potions." Townsend praised, "I look forward to good news from you. Now, I have to send Professor McGonagall the book list for Divination class."

Snape's face looked a bit ugly. It was obvious that being praised as a Potions Master for preparing a potion with such effects was not a happy thing for him. However, he was rare and did not sneer, but blocked it. Tang Sen wanted to leave, his voice was low:

"The price you mentioned at noon"

Tang Sen patted his head and looked surprised: "Resurrection Stone?"

He said apologetically: "Sorry, I thought you weren't interested in this thing."

"Of course I'm not interested!" Snape snorted with unknown meaning and said: "The Resurrection Stone is just a legend. There is no stone that can bring people back to life in reality."

"I'm just giving you a piece of advice. You are a professor. Don't be like those naive little wizards who spend all day immersed in the false stories described in The Tales of Beedle the Bard."

Townsend showed a meaningful smile. He looked directly into Snape's eyes and said, "Thank you for your advice. I haven't read "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" you mentioned. Everyone knows that I have not read it. Didn’t grow up in England.”

"However, I can indeed see some fragments about the future. Among those fragments, three things called the Deathly Hallows appeared. Among them was the Resurrection Stone."

"The future?" Snape's brows trembled uncontrollably, "What kind of future?"

"Isn't Professor Snape not interested in divination?" Townsend smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I can't tell you what I saw, as that would have unpredictable consequences."

Such remarks made Snape look uncontrollably disgusted. He stared at Townsend and squeezed out a few words: "You are wasting my time!"

"I know you are in a hurry." Tang Sen comforted: "But don't be anxious. Although I can't tell you the specific future, I can reveal some details to you, which is regarded as a reward for you to prepare the magic potion for me. .”

He said slowly: "I saw what the man with the Resurrection Stone looked like. Maybe I can find out his recent whereabouts through divination."

"As for what you are going to do next and what will happen, that has nothing to do with me."

Tang Sen blinked innocently, "I'm just a fortune teller who doesn't care about the world."

Snape stared at Tang Sen. After a long time, he finally uttered one word: "Okay."

"Come in with me, I think this situation is suitable for crystal ball divination." Tang Sen walked into his office, sat behind his desk, and placed the crystal ball framed by sterling silver in the middle of the table.

Snape followed in, closing the door behind him.

"Crystal ball divination is a very good way that allows both the fortune teller and onlookers to intuitively see pictures from the future." Tangson explained: "Of course, this kind of divination is very complicated, and not everyone can see it intuitively." Every fortune teller can make the picture appear, but many fortune tellers can only see the things shown in the crystal ball through their own eyes."

"This has also led to too many people who have no predictive power but claim to be fortune tellers to use crystal balls to deceive. Therefore, if you are looking for someone to divine, don't trust people who use crystal balls to divine."

Snape stood upright in front of his desk, like a stiff black sculpture, and said coldly: "I'm not here to listen to your lecture."

"Sorry." Tang Sen explained apologetically: "I am getting used to my status as a professor. You know, I need to explain in more detail when dealing with those little wizards."

He placed his palms on the crystal ball and closed his eyes.

Then, Snape saw a dense mist appearing in the center of the crystal ball. The mist turned from white to red, and soon turned into colorful gauze, filling all the spaces inside the crystal ball, illuminating the entire office. Somewhat dreamy.

Then, a picture appeared on the surface of the crystal ball.

It was a man wearing a black double-breasted tuxedo. He had high cheekbones and blue eyes. His temperament looked a bit unique. Snape didn't know how to describe his face, which was obviously quite ordinary, but The overall appearance always felt slightly different from everyone he had ever seen, with a subtle exotic atmosphere.

He was walking in a very gloomy alley, holding a golden and very gorgeous cane. Snape saw a shop sign at a sudden glance——

Boginbok.

He still wanted to find more details, but those pictures gradually became void, and eventually turned into colorful mist again. The mist gathered and shrank and disappeared in the center of the crystal ball.
