Chapter 1006 The Cruel Truth

Professor Trelawney's prophecy, like a depth bomb, caused Hogwarts to boil completely.

Most of the students were very surprised that the old liar actually predicted that they would be expelled from the Toad. Many people thought that this was a trick of Professor Trelawney. However, students who have taken divination classes know very well that Professor Trelawney is simply a trick.

He's a liar, maybe he's planning to use this incident to scare Umbridge away from being expelled.

What exactly is going on?

Does Professor Trelawney know anything about divination?

No one knows this, but people are very interested in the divination results given to Umbridge by Professor Trelawney.

In Professor Trelawney's first prophecy, Umbridge will drive out Dumbledore and become the new headmaster of Hogwarts.

This prediction is not good news for the teachers and students of the school.

Anyone who is willing to use their brains to think a little can guess that Umbridge's motives for coming to Hogwarts are not pure.

Who would be willing to leave the post of Deputy Minister of Magic, come to Hogwarts to teach, and choose the most dangerous Defense Against the Dark Arts professor as a post? Does this mean that he or she is living too well?

In the second prophecy, Umbridge will get into big trouble in the Forbidden Forest and be severely punished by a group of long-legged creatures.

This one is a bit confusing, but the third prophecy is that Umbridge will eventually be kicked out of Hogwarts School, which is not unexpected, because Defense Against the Dark Arts professors usually have a difficult time in Hogwarts.

He served for more than one year.

The most surprising thing is the fourth prophecy. Will Umbridge die in Azkaban?

This looks like Professor Trelawney is deliberately trying to anger Umbridge.

But Professor Trelawney claimed that this was the result of divination.

In order to explore the "truth" of the whole matter, the students who were extremely curious sought help from "prophecy expert" Albert.

"Professor Trelawney does have some prophecy abilities, but her ability is not very strong."

"As for whether Professor Trelawney's prediction for Umbridge will come true, I think it won't be long before everyone can witness the result with their own eyes."

Some people suspected that Albert and Trelawney had long been colluding and flattering each other; some even wanted to encourage Albert to make a prophecy for Umbridge to prove that he could really predict the future, but Albert regarded these as ridiculous

The "radical general" was ignored.

Why does he need to prove it to others?

Umbridge, on the other hand, was furious at Professor Trelawney's prophecy. When many people quietly passed by the corridor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, they could clearly hear the sound of objects being smashed and cursed coming from inside.

The Weasley brothers' retractable ears are widely welcomed by everyone. Curious students will even use the retractable ears to hear what the toad is cursing.

Everyone is guessing when Umbridge will drive Professor Trelawney away.

However, they are destined to fail. Umbridge seems to have no intention of firing Professor Trelawney, at least not yet.

People think that Umbridge is worried that Professor Trelawney's prophecy will come true, because even Albert admits that Professor Trelawney has "prophetic" abilities.

I'm afraid only Umbridge knows what the actual situation is.

When the divination incident caused a stir in the school, Umbridge once again had someone pass a note to Albert, inviting him to drink tea in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office. Umbridge really planned to ask Albert

Professor Trelawney's Divination.

During her tenure at Hogwarts, Umbridge was not without gains. She collected a lot of information through Slytherin students and suspected that Anderson was the master of prophecy mentioned by Professor Trelawney.

More than a month ago, when Harry Potter was on trial, he also mentioned that a famous prophecy master had done a divination for him. Umbridge felt that it was probably the guy in front of him, and the one who said that Fudge would step down next summer

The prophecy may have come from this guy.

Especially after the damn Mudblood in front of her offered an expensive fortune of a thousand galleons for divination, Umbridge's mood suddenly hit rock bottom.

Can he really predict the future?

Is Fudge really going to step down next year?

"Mr. Anderson, am I to take it that you are trying to blackmail a professor?"

Umbridge had a disgusting smirk on her face, and she was determined to find out whether the guy in front of her had the ability to predict the future no matter what.

If it were anyone else, Umbridge would never believe it, but this mudblood named Albert Anderson has already created too many miracles.

Another miracle is not something that cannot be accepted.

"Blackmail, I think you are mistaken." Albert raised his head and looked at Umbridge with a strange expression.

"Am I making a mistake?" After Umbridge met Albert's gaze, the smile on her face suddenly froze, and she quickly looked away, not daring to look at Albert.

"If you ask me for divination now, it is a business. The essence of business is to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand." Albert drank up the milk tea in the cup and said in a cold tone, "If you want me to do divination for you,

The remuneration that should be paid to me must not be less, and no one can be an exception!"

"No one is exempt?" Umbridge was still smirking.

"No one is an exception." Albert didn't care about Umbridge's malice, stood up and said, "If you are not willing to pay, I will naturally not help you predict."

Without giving the other party a chance to attack, Albert had already taken out his wand from his robe pocket, and with Umbridge's stunned expression, he waved it at her, causing Umbridge to forget most of her memories.

"Then I'll leave first. I wish you a happy afternoon."

Albert put his wand back into his pocket, nodded to Umbridge with a smile, and turned to leave the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, leaving behind a stunned Umbridge.

By the time Umbridge came to her senses, she had forgotten about wanting Albert to give her a divination, and all that was left in her mind was Albert's evaluation of Professor Trelawney.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Professor Trelawney does know prophecies and has succeeded, so those prophecies are likely to come true?

"No, this is impossible, it can't be true! That guy is a liar, everyone says she is a liar, she is a liar!"

Umbridge kept saying similar words to herself to suppress her fear.

Yes, Professor Trelawney is a liar, and her prophecy is just a trick to bluff people. Umbridge did not see her future in the crystal ball at all.

However, Umbridge didn't know that there was such a saucy operation that could predict predictions for others.

As soon as Albert left the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, he saw the sneaky Fred, George and Lee Jordan.

"What's the toad doing with you?" Fred put the wand back into his pocket and asked with a smile, "We were just discussing whether to go in and help you."

All three of them had wands in hand, as if they were ready to rush into the office at any time and help Albert subdue Umbridge.

"What's the result of the discussion?" Albert asked with a smile. He knew very well that the appearance of the three of them was actually deliberately pretending to be funny. They never worried that Albert would get into trouble with Umbridge. Really

It's Umbridge who should be worried.

"George said you won't suffer any loss."

"The toad wants me to give her a divination, but she doesn't want to spend money..."

"How much do you plan to knock her?" Li Qiaodan asked curiously, but he knew that asking Albert for divination would hurt his wallet.

"Not much, a thousand galleons." Albert said flatly.

"If I were a toad, I wouldn't want to give money." The three of them were speechless. What do you mean there isn't much? Is this a lot?

They feel that their measurement units are different from Albert's.

"It's related to your future. A thousand Galleons is not expensive. That guy doesn't want to pay. He also wants to use his status as a Ministry of Magic and senior investigator to suppress me." Albert spread his hands helplessly and said: "So...

…”

"So you gave her a good lesson." Fred said excitedly.

"How is it possible? I'm not that violent. I just made her forget some of her memories."

"I thought you would be very angry." Lee Jordan is also a guy who doesn't take things too seriously.

"Why should I be angry?" Albert asked, "Would you be angry because of a squawking toad?"

All three of them felt that this was quite reasonable, but they were a little regretful that they could not see Albert teach Umbridge a severe lesson.

Albert did not intend to have any conflict with Umbridge. Anyway, if necessary, it would be enough to make the other party forget some of his memories.

As for Umbridge's feelings, who really cares?

I learned this solution from an employee of the Ministry of Magic when I was watching the Quidditch World Cup last year.

They all do that themselves, so there is no problem.

On the contrary, it was Umbridge's behavior that made him feel that the other party was stupid.

Could it be that he is used to being bossy in the Ministry of Magic?

Or has the pressure been too tight recently, causing Umbridge to lose her normal rational judgment and make a series of stupid things?

"Is Professor Trelawney's prediction true?"

The three of them were more curious about this matter, and they knew that it was actually a prophecy given by Albert.

"it is true."

"Is Umbridge really going to die in Azkaban?"

"right."

"This is really exciting news."

"However, despite such prediction results, the future may still change. The prediction involves too many causes and effects, and no one can determine what the future will be like."

"Can't understand!"

"I don't expect you to understand either!" Albert sighed, "The future can be changed, but it's really difficult to change the future."

Albert did try, but Peter Pettigrew died prematurely.

For this reason, he even personally left the field to create opportunities for Sirius.

As soon as they returned to the common room, Shanna immediately came over and told Albert about the Defense Association.

"Recently, everyone has been whispering that someone is planning to re-form a defense association to teach everyone how to defend against black magic." Shanna lowered her voice and said, "Everyone thought it was you."

"I'm very busy and have no time." Albert probably guessed what was going on.

"It's not you?" Shanna looked at Fred and George, "You must know who it is, right? Angelina said Fred told her."

"Ahem, it's Harry. Harry's defense against dark magic is not low either." Under Sanna's gaze, George cleared his throat and explained, "I think Hermione is right, we can't let the toad take over."

Our defense against black magic is ruined, so we have to learn something on our own to protect ourselves. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."

"Albert isn't going?" Shanna looked at Albert, who shook his head and said, "I'm not free, and if I go, the nature may become different."

"What's different."

"They will definitely let me lead everyone to drive Umbridge out."

"Isn't that bad?" Angelina asked.

"It's not bad, but it's meaningless. Even if Umbridge is driven away, the Ministry of Magic will send someone else to serve." Albert paused and said meaningfully, "Besides, I think Umbridge actually

It’s quite fun.”

This is indeed true. Umbridge has been at Hogwarts for less than a month and has indeed brought a lot of joy and laughter to everyone.

"How's Harry Potter's Defense Against the Dark Arts level?" Shanna turned to ask George, "We can really learn something."

"Everyone communicates with each other and learns from each other." George shrugged and said, "The content we studied is the "Self-Defense Guide" compiled by Albert."

"Oh, that book was published?" Shanna knew about it.

"It hasn't been published yet. Don't look at me. I don't have it here either." Fred shrugged. "It is said that Granger has a copy, but I haven't seen the actual copy."

"At what time?" Shanna hesitated for a moment, but decided to go over and take a look. Her level of defense against black magic was not very high. If she wanted to get good grades, she had to spend more time on it.

As for whether Harry is a liar, as long as he has a little bit of brain, he won't worry about this kind of thing.



After nightfall, the lights were still on in the principal's office. Dumbledore looked at the memory of the pensieve on the table and fell into brief contemplation.

Dumbledore was naturally also concerned about the latest Trelawney divination incident at Hogwarts, especially since it was mentioned in the divination that he would temporarily lose his position as principal. This reminded Dumbledore of a certain conversation.

:

I saw you lost your position as principal.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the principal's office.

"Come in, Minerva, what can I do?" Dumbledore looked at Professor McGonagall who appeared outside the door in surprise.

"I remembered something about the recent prophecies."

Professor McGonagall glanced at the pensieve on the table, put the wand directly on her temple, and pulled out a memory.

Both of them turned their attention to the Pensieve, which contained a conversation between Professor McGonagall and Albert:

...By the way, the next headmaster of Hogwarts is Professor Snape, if a certain pink toad is not counted.

"This is the employment consultation from the year before last." Professor McGonagall said to Dumbledore, "To be honest, most of his predictions have come true. The pink toad here should refer to Umbridge. She was turned into a human some time ago.

Toad."

In the past, Professor McGonagall didn't actually care much about these things, and wasn't interested in divination either.

However, Voldemort was resurrected, and many of Albert's predictions came true, and she had to start to face these things.

"Actually, Mr. Anderson has told me before that I will temporarily lose my position as principal." Dumbledore was very calm, as if it was a trivial matter, "What do you want to drink."

"Why can you say this so calmly? If Umbridge becomes the principal, God knows what the whole school will be like." Professor McGonagall was a little excited.

"The prediction made by Trelawney is not quite like her style." Dumbledore smiled and handed a cup of hot cocoa to Professor McGonagall's hand. "That should be the prediction made by Anderson. Crystal ball divination has always been

Anderson’s specialty.”

"So, Sybil's prediction is true?" Professor McGonagall's face suddenly became a little ugly, as if she had thought of something bad.

"Mr. Anderson is not a person who likes to lie. For him, the truth is sometimes crueler." Dumbledore took a sip of hot cocoa and stared at the changes in the pensieve.

"Under what circumstances do you think Severus will become the Headmaster?" Professor McGonagall asked in a low voice.

Dumbledore was silent.

what's the situation?

"When Voldemort took control of Hogwarts." Dumbledore said calmly.

Both knew exactly what this meant.

If Dumbledore were still alive, he would obviously not allow this to happen.

This is also the reason why Professor McGonagall came to Dumbledore in a hurry, because when she was talking to Professor Flitwick about Sybil's prophecy tonight, she recalled Albert's divination.

"It's not that bad," Dumbledore comforted.

In fact, a long time ago, Dumbledore had deduced from Albert's few hints that he might not die soon.

To be honest, Dumbledore was not too worried about these problems, because in Albert's prophecy, Harry defeated Voldemort, and that was enough.

Dumbledore was not afraid when facing death. To him, death was just a new adventure, but before setting off, he needed to finish everything he should do.
