The students gathered around and repeatedly asked Trelawney about the results of her divination.
She looked at Harry's tea cup carefully and suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"My dear, you have an 'unknown'."
"What?" Harry didn't understand.
Not to mention him, almost all the students couldn't understand it.
"Unknown -" Trelawney shouted: "Dear, unknown!"
As if she didn't expect to understand, she looked particularly shocked, "This is a big dog that haunts the gloomy cemetery!
My dear child, it is an omen—the greatest omen—the omen of death!”
Vincent squinted to examine the pattern on the tea cup in her hand.
Don’t dogs represent loyal friends?
Because the tea leaves are dark in color, so they are the black dogs that represent the unknown?
Next to her, Hermione stood on tiptoes vigorously and put her little hands on his shoulders to see him.
Fred and George were not kidding, Trelawney was indeed an old liar.
From beginning to end, it is blabbering, psychologically suggestive and creating panic.
"Professor, I have a question." Vincent suddenly raised his hand.
All eyes were on his face.
"Different people will interpret the content differently. How should we distinguish who is right and who is wrong?"
Trelawney walked over patiently, "This is what makes tea divination so fascinating.
Through different content interpreted by different partners, we can quickly filter out some students who are not talented."
She glanced at the pink tea cup, and the corners of her mouth twitched unnaturally.
"Honey, is this your tea cup?"
Vincent nodded obediently, "It's mine, Professor."
Trelawney looked at Hermione standing next to him,
"This must be your partner, right?
Let me take a guess, she will definitely interpret a good divination result."
The relationship between Qi Xiaojie and Qi Xiaoji is very good, so good that everyone on campus knows about it.
So, it's not hard to guess what kind of results it will give.
Vincent nodded obediently again, "She said I have good luck, and I have always felt so."
"Wrong." Trelawney shook her head,
"Perhaps she has good intentions, or maybe she has no talent, but the divination results she interpreted are completely wrong."
The "?" are connected together. No matter how you look at it, you can only see the lines representing travel.
And there is only one pattern, and good and bad can be seen from different angles.
Hermione pursed her lips and did not refute.
Trelawney's fingertips traced the rim of the pink tea cup, "My dear, you are trapped by your own imagination.
This is a pattern based on an ‘X’, a pattern that seems difficult to decipher.”
She held up the teacup so that the students gathered around could see it more clearly.
"I have emphasized just now that you must broaden your thinking and look beyond the boundaries of the world."
Regardless of how Vincent was shaken out, this statement itself is very convincing.
The corners of Trelawney's mouth raised slightly, "First of all, its lines are very straight, and each one is in contact with each other."
"Is it a trip?" Lavender, who was holding the textbook, blurted out: "Professor, the four lines outside the 'X' represent four trips?"
"Far more than 4 times." Trelawney put down the teacup and drew a pattern in the air with her fingertips.
"Can anyone tell me what this means?"
The pattern she drew is "∞", which looks like "?" after removing 4 lines.
But its lines are rounded and not straight at all.
"Infinitas?" Hermione frowned, "But the pattern is angled, not even an oval."
"You are wrong, dear." Trelawney picked up the teacup again and said,
"As I said earlier, you are trapped by your own imagination."
She met Hermione's eyes and said, "This is the 'infinity' that represents no boundaries."
"So it can still be like this." Vincent nodded in realization.
"Professor, according to your interpretation, do I have to go through countless trials and pains?"
Trelawney's expression became very complicated.
She seemed not to have expected that Vincent, an excellent student, would dare to reveal this unfortunate divination result that was the opposite of luck.
"Yes - yes, dear."
"Professor, your interpretation is so correct!" Vincent held her hand holding the teacup and said gratefully:
"There are countless journeys in a person's life, and I will definitely face the trials and pains actively!"
Trelawney was a little confused.
This student was so polite that she didn't know how to answer.
Hermione quickly covered her mouth.
Vincent is so bad, he still scares people into being stunned after he sets the trap.
According to him, no matter how unfortunate the divination results are, they are all false, and the most important thing is to maintain a positive attitude.
"This-" The hesitant Trelawney had obviously come to her senses.
She looked at the students around her.
Harry, who should have been feeling uneasy about the unknown, breathed a sigh of relief;
The timid Neville stopped shrinking his neck;
It turned out that Lavender and Parvati, who believed deeply in tea divination, had hesitation on their faces.
"It's getting late, I think today's class will end here." Trelawney's voice was particularly unclear.
She took out her hand and poured the tea residue into the plate used to drain the tea.
"Yes... please pack your things..."
The students returned the tea cup to her silently.
Their eyes were very complicated, including confusion, hesitation, contempt, etc.
Walking out of the classroom and down to the corridor on the eighth floor, James couldn't help but give Vincent a thumbs up.
"Awesome, Lao Wen!
You gave Professor Divination a showdown in the first class, it seems your wish to dominate Hogwarts will soon come true!"
The corners of Vincent's eyes twitched crazily.
It's just that I can't stand this kind of ambiguous behavior that fools students, but why did it turn into a threat when it came to his mouth?
"You don't need to explain." James retracted his thumb, tilted his head and chuckled,
"I understand, this matter needs to be kept strictly confidential."
You know shit!
Vincent glanced at the students behind him.
This loud voice said both what should be said and what should not be said. It is estimated that various versions of rumors will be spread by the afternoon.
Model student angrily criticizes professor?
Exposing the old liar?
If he hadn't had to attend the second period, James would have ended up in a miserable situation.
In front of the Transfiguration classroom on the second floor.
"You guys go in first." Vincent stopped outside the door, "I want to go back to the dormitory to get something."
Arithmancy and Muggle Studies were taught at the same time as Divination, so he had to use a time-turner to go back an hour.
And twice.
Hermione didn't enter the classroom either.
She ran back in a hurry and almost bumped into Ron and Harry who were walking at the back.
"Sorry, I have to go back to the dormitory to get something."
Ron pouted, "She's still like this, even apologizing is perfunctory."
"You should go back and get your textbooks." Harry gestured to him to look at the tabby cat squatting on the podium.
"Professor McGonagall is here, let's go in quickly."
