Chapter 428: Divination of Grindelwald and Nicolas Flamel
Chapter 428 Divination of Grindelwald and Nicolas Flamel
Just as the third-year wizards went to the castle gate to "welcome" Fudge, Professor Trelawney had already dressed up and arrived at the door of the principal's office.
Professor Trelawney is serious about promotion and salary increase.
Since she came to Hogwarts thirteen years ago, Professor Trelawney has regarded the school as her home... eating and living in the school.
So in theory, Professor Trelawney is not short of money.
But she has a little hobby, she loves to drink sherry. Coupled with the jewelry all over her body...so Professor Trelawney has become the number one moonlighter in Hogwarts.
Not only does she have no money, but her salary is not enough to spend!
"Sybil?"
Seeing Trelawney, Dumbledore was also stunned, but he quickly became serious, "Is there a new prophecy?"
It's no wonder that Dumbledore is so suspicious.
The magic world is now in chaos. If the attack on Azkaban was within Dumbledore's expectations, then the invasion of the Ministry of Magic was completely beyond his expectations.
In fact, Dumbledore also had some doubts.
Because there are only a handful of wizards in the British magic world who have this ability, not to mention that the man was facing five Aurors including Scrimgeour in the Department of Mysteries.
There were only a few people who were suspected.
In particular, when Dumbledore learned about the behavior of the person who sneaked into the Department of Mysteries, he almost thought that person was Andy.
According to the news from the Ministry of Magic, the man entered the Hall of the Brain, the Hall of Time, and the Hall of Death.
But after school started, Dumbledore dispelled his doubts about Andy.
Because if Andy had entered the Hall of Time, there was no reason for him not to snatch a time converter from there.
According to Dumbledore's understanding of Andy, he was not interested in knowledge that could not enhance magical power, and he also cherished time - if it were not for getting a time converter, Andy would not have signed up for all the elective courses.
This gave Dumbledore even more headaches!
If the person who sneaked into the Department of Mysteries was not Andy, it meant that in addition to Voldemort, there were still people hiding in the dark in the magic world today, and who knew what conspiracy they were planning.
"Prophecy? Ah, no."
Trelawney said a little stiffly: "Principal Dumbledore, I came here this time in the hope of... a salary increase."
Dumbledore: "..."
You can say such a thing?
Don't look at Dumbledore staying in the office all day, like a senior old otaku. But there are few things that happened in Hogwarts and even in the magic world that he doesn't know.
To be honest, as a professor who has taught for thirteen years, there is nothing wrong with asking for a salary increase.
But you should at least show some teaching results, right?
What's your situation, Trelawney? Don't you know it in your heart?
"I found a child who is very talented in divination."
Trelawney continued, "He made a divination in class. Minister Fudge will come before ten o'clock. He may come to see you."
Trelawney is of course very clear about her situation.
But in the field of divination, no talent is no talent, no matter who teaches it.
The best situation is nothing more than memorizing all the knowledge in the divination textbook like Hermione, and then doing divination according to the prompts above.
"Who is it?" Dumbledore asked.
"Andy Collins."
Trelawney said proudly, "He has vision, but his vision is blurry. Fortunately, the child has extremely outstanding magical attainments, and he can use the crystal ball for divination."
Dumbledore fell silent again after hearing this.
He understands this kind of divination.
Divination in the magic world can be roughly divided into two situations.
The first is like Trelawney-they will predict the future through vision and express the predicted future through language.
For example, the divination thirteen years ago.
The prophecy balls stored in the Prophecy Hall of the Department of Mysteries are also prophecies of this form.
The second type is to use magic to present the predicted future in the form of images.
Dumbledore also knows a few such prophecy masters.
Gellert Grindelwald.
Nicolas Flamel.
They can all present the future picture.
Nicolas Flamel even used alchemy to create a prophecy crystal ball. Without casting a spell, the prophecy crystal ball will automatically present the future picture.
Grindelwald's divination is also outrageous.
Although he can only see some fragments of the picture, he can predict whatever he wants.
"I know, Sibyl."
Dumbledore said slowly: "I will consider the salary increase."
"Thank you, Principal Dumbledore." Trelawney said with great gratitude.
Finally, there is money to spend!
After Trelawney left, Dumbledore slowly got up and walked to the window.
From this position, you can see the direction of the castle gate, where a large group of young wizards are gathering at the moment.
Gossip spreads very quickly in Hogwarts. Originally, only the third-year wizards who had taken Divination came to wait. But in just a few minutes, many wizards from other grades came.
Andy also came, and he was dragged here by Hermione.
The two stood behind the crowd, quietly waiting for Minister Fudge's arrival.
"If Minister Fudge really comes..." the little witch tried to make a final struggle.
"How was it?" Andy asked.
Hermione looked frustrated!
How could there be a magic like divination in this world that relies purely on talent?
This is so unfair!
Hermione said angrily: "I will never learn divination again!"
When Andy heard that the old god was here, he said: "Someone will leave us forever... Maybe Professor Trelawney's prophecy means that someone will leave the Divination class forever."
Hermione: "..."
I’m really unwilling!
After about five minutes, a young wizard with good eyesight saw Minister Fudge walking towards the castle with two Aurors.
"It's Secretary Fudge!" the man shouted.
"Where is it? Let me see!"
"It's him! That's Minister Fudge, he's really here!"
"There are two more Aurors! Exactly the same as Andy's prediction."
"This is so amazing!"
"Andy made a real prediction!"
The little wizards exclaimed, looking at Fudge with excitement and excitement on their faces.
As soon as Fudge approached, he saw a large group of young wizards blocking the entrance of the castle. They looked at him excitedly, as if they were watching a big shot.
He is a big shot!
Fudge adjusted his collar and showed a decent smile on his face, trying to look as kind as possible.
"Hello, kids!"
