Chapter 195 Lies are also part of divination
"Is it over so soon?"
Snape reflexively asked, "Who is this person?"
Tang Sen moved the crystal ball to one side of the table again, leaned back slightly, leaned against the back of the chair, and said: "I have already said, Professor Snape, I am just a fortune teller who lives in peace with the world.
”
"What I can do is just show you some fragments of the future. I am not interested in knowing who this person is."
Snape frowned tightly and said, "The Resurrection Stone is really in this person's hands?"
Tang Sen spread his hands, "At least in the future I saw before, this person did have the Resurrection Stone. Of course, the day I saw was in the very distant future."
Snape was silent, his lips pursed into a straight line, and he kept looking at the crystal ball on the table and Tang Sen in front of him.
As early as noon, when the other party proposed the price of the Resurrection Stone, Snape was already tempted, but he suppressed the impulse and went to Dumbledore immediately.
He still remembered Dumbledore's uncharacteristically solemn words.
"Professor Tang obviously has abilities that are different from ordinary people. Although I still doubt that the miracles he performed in the open class did not rely on simple divination abilities, what is certain is that he can indeed see the future."
"He seems to be a friendly and well-behaved person. He is impeccable in terms of ability and conversation. I heard that Hagrid and Filius both have good impressions of him. Even Minerva thinks so.
At least he will become a good divination professor."
"But I don't know why, I always feel instinctively uneasy in my heart. I know that saying this is very unfounded and irresponsible Severus. Every time I see him, I will think of some wrong things I have done."<
/p>
"I even thought about using Legilimency, but the uneasy feeling became stronger. Maybe it was because I was too tired recently. Tom was threatening the safety of the entire wizarding world, and Hogwarts was involved in some boring political tricks.
."
"In short, Severus, Professor Tang is very likely to be hiding some secret purposes. For someone who can see the future, he will never tell the resurrection stone without reason, and he just happened to tell you."
"Maybe you can try to get in touch with him. Of course, you must be careful not to be tempted by anything."
Snape remembered the last time Dumbledore mentioned a person so solemnly, it was Voldemort in his heyday.
He did not think that the young Divination professor in front of him could be a greater threat than Voldemort. Voldemort would not be troubled by gastrointestinal problems.
But he naturally listened to Dumbledore's suggestions.
"What about the time?" Snape asked: "How do I know when he will appear in the picture?"
"Recently." Tang Sen replied: "Within a week."
"That's too broad." Snape said coldly: "I still have classes, so I don't have time to keep watch in Knockturn Alley."
Tang Sen showed a helpless look and said: "Professor Snape, I just want to ask for a bottle of potion. Divination is not a wasteful thing."
A small bottle of magic potion was placed on Tang Sen's table.
"This is a blessing elixir." Snape said stiffly: "Is it enough to make up for your consumption?"
"Ahem -" Tang Sen put the potion in his arms and smiled: "Professor Snape, you are too outspoken. We are all colleagues, so there is no need to be so alienated."
"Let me think about it, maybe I can find out the time when that scene appears through pendulum divination."
He raised his hand, showing a crystal pendant hanging on his hand, and then said softly: "Professor Snape will gain something from going to Knockturn Alley tomorrow."
"Professor Snape will gain something from going to Knockturn Alley tomorrow."
"."
Recite silently seven times, and the pendant begins to rotate counterclockwise.
"The pendulum method is a simple and practical divination method. Usually counterclockwise rotation represents opposition and errors. Of course, in some special cases, counterclockwise rotation can express more meanings. This is consistent with
It is related to the words divined by the fortune teller, for example——"
"Let's get to the point." Snape interrupted Townsend.
"Sorry, professional habit." Tang Sen said: "So, the omen of the pendulum means that there is no need for you to go to Knockturn Alley tomorrow."
Snape frowned: "Are you sure? Just rely on the pendant here?"
Compared with the gorgeous and realistic effects of crystal ball divination, the pendulum method seems too simple.
Townsend became serious: "This is divination, Professor Snape. If you don't believe in divination, there is no need to continue."
".Please continue." Snape gritted his teeth.
Tang Sen used the pendulum method for divination several more times, and finally determined: "Professor Snape, you can go to Knockturn Alley at noon the day after tomorrow. I think you will gain something."
"I hope so." Snape stopped staying and turned around quickly. The long black robe was raised due to the rapid pace, making Snape's leaving figure look like a low-flying bird.
Giant bat.
"Hold the door for me, thank you." Tang Sen reminded, and then heard the office door slam shut.
Obviously, it was not pleasant for Snape to pay the price of a bottle of Felixir for a piece of information that had no beginning or end and could not be determined to be true or false.
To be honest, if it weren't for Dumbledore's instructions and his desire for the Resurrection Stone, Snape wouldn't want to have any contact with this soothsayer.
It wasn't until Snape's footsteps moved away that Townsend stopped smiling and narrowed his eyes.
He stood up, gently brushed the crystal ball with his fingers, and murmured in a low voice: "Divination is such a good thing."
Although I didn't really use the ability of divination just now, but used another ability.
Create an illusion.
But for people who don’t understand divination, there is no difference.
Anyway, the picture shown on the crystal ball will indeed come true.

Thinking of this, Tang Sen laughed again.
"Even if I can't really do divination, maybe I can become a very good fortune teller."
The process of submitting the textbook list was smooth. According to Hogwarts tradition, unless there is dangerous or illegal content in the book list, the school will not interfere with the professor's decision.
In fact, professors have great autonomy in their own subjects. For example, Professor Lockhart before, he even included a complete set of books he wrote in the textbook list, giving himself a strict
Even if Bohuo behaves like this, he has obtained permission from Hogwarts.
Next, we only need to wait for the official entry process of the Ministry of Magic to be completed. Obviously, neither Umbridge nor Minister Fudge will delay in this regard.
In fact, this is also true. When Townsend spent his first night at Hogwarts comfortably and walked out of the office, Professor McGonagall was already waiting in front of the door.
She brought official documents from the Ministry of Magic, as well as the curriculum.
The course schedule is even more relaxed than Tang Sen imagined. Tang Sen only needs to work 7 hours a week, and the rest of the time can be freely used.
Divination class is a non-main course and students only need to take it once a week. In the first and second grade, divination class is a compulsory course. The four colleges will be divided into two small classes and take classes separately, adding up to 4 class hours a week.<
/p>
In the third grade, the divination class became an elective course, so the students who had taken the divination class in the four colleges were combined and took classes together until the end of the fifth grade when the divination class exam was taken. These three grades added up to three classes a week.
Finally, there is the advanced training class for sixth and seventh grade students. In fact, it has been a long time since Hogwarts has had sixth and seventh grade students choose to continue taking divination classes, so the curriculum has not been arranged for the time being.
Of course, there is also salary, and the salary of Hogwarts professors is very generous.
Tang Sen sighed quite a bit, after all, this was the first time he made money after being hit by a dump truck.
"Anyway, it seems I have a lot of time to do my own things."
Tang Sen thought happily.
"Learn magic knowledge, study the information left by witches, and of course, the most important thing -"
