Chapter 990 I am unknown! (Seeking a monthly ticket, big chapter!)
Hogwarts, Divination classroom.
As Professor Trelawney finished her opening remarks, there was a tense silence in the classroom.
However, she seemed to have no idea about it.
"Honey? I guess we have to start class anyway?"
Professor Trelawney turned her head, looked at Qiu Zhang who was still stunned on the cushion, showed a weak smile, and repeated softly.
"Can you hand me the biggest teapot? Well, it's the teapot we used in class a few weeks ago—"
Since the beginning of class, this should be the sentence that the students have heard most thoroughly and clearly.
Cho Zhang looked relieved, stood up, took a huge teapot from the shelf and placed it on the table in front of Professor Trelawney.
"Thank you, dear. By the way, be careful of those eyes lingering on you - even if the unknown destination is the unavoidable destination of those people, at least you will not be so sad when you cry. This is not your fault.
, everything is a tragedy that has already been written by fate."
Qiu Zhang started shaking like a sieve.
This wasn't the first time she heard something like this. Elena seemed to have said it before?
The only difference is that the previous time was "group intimidation", and this time she faced single-target pointing skills.
When playing Werewolf the night before yesterday, Elena told everyone, consciously or unconsciously, to try not to get involved in relationships too early in school. If premature death occurs, they may have to heal the shadow for more than ten years - fall in love.
It's best to wait until graduation is about to happen.
This is also one of the reasons why Cho Chang has not launched an offensive against Cedric Diggory.
Many girls in Ravenclaw College think Elena is particularly evil, and they rumor that Elena may have some kind of extremely evil curse magic.
After all, judging from the various events that happened last year, those who were her enemies would eventually encounter misfortune - some were avenged by her personally, while others either suffered from bad stomachs or encountered "
"Dark Potion", or he performed abnormally during the exam...
Compared to Luna, the "lucky star" who is as efficacious as a little angel, Elena is equivalent to the "evil god" in the minds of many girls.
"Okay, okay, okay."
Professor Trelawney said softly in that soft and vague voice.
Amidst the rising and lingering smoke with a strange fragrance in the classroom, her tall and thin figure looked a little erratic.
"Dear students, now, I want to ask you to divide into two groups. Take a teacup from the shelf next to the classroom and come to me. I will fill your teacups with tea. Then you sit down and drink tea.
Drink until only the tea leaves remain. Use your left hand to gently shake the tea leaves three times in the tea cup, then flip the tea cup upside down on the tray; wait until the last drop of tea has seeped out, and then remove your hand.
, hand the teacup to your partner for interpretation. We can interpret the shape of the tea leaves by referring to the content on pages 5 and 6 of "Looking Through the Fog to See the Future". I will also patrol among you to help you and guide you.
You, oh, dear—"
Professor Trelawney suddenly stopped and looked straight ahead with some confusion.
"Professor?" Hermione raised her hand.
"Well, what's the matter, Miss Granger?"
"I don't have a book, and neither does Elena - when we started this semester, we didn't expect to have the opportunity to take a divination class -"
"Ah, yes. Professor Dumbledore mentioned this... But don't worry, kid, don't worry at all. This is the Divination classroom at Hogwarts. I have seen these problems a long time ago. Under the locker
There are some old textbooks that have just been sorted out. You can use them first, and then you can write to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to buy a new set... Touching other people's old books will cause entanglements in fate... it may obscure your third eye..."
Professor Trelawney said softly, stood up and walked to the locker next to the cup rack.
She groped inside for a while, took out two tattered thick books with black covers, and handed them to Elena and Hermione.
The black book cover depicts a full moon shrouded in clouds, and the book's title is in light silver: "Pull Through the Fog to See the Future."
The author of this book is the only remaining "Ministry of Magic-approved" prophet in the British wizarding world today, Cassandra Wabraski. The ninety-eight-year-old Cassandra now has almost the same status in the divination community.
On the status of her apprentice Newt Scamander in the field of magical beasts.
At the same time, she is also the second witch that Professor Trelawney admires in her life, the legendary Crystal Seer.
"Okay," Professor Trelawney returned to her desk and opened her arms towards the students, "Let's start, try to open your third eye..."
After Elena and Hermione's tea cups were filled with tea, they returned to their tables.
The tea was boiling hot, and many students grimaced or blew air desperately, hoping to drink the hot tea quickly.
"Wait, wait, Elena! We can't, at least not like this-"
"Immobulus! (The ground is freezing and the sky is freezing!)"
Elena retracted her wand lightly and gave a "reassuring" look to the uneasy little beaver beside her.
As Professor Dumbledore and the "prophet" labeled by Professor Trelawney, she can naturally use any method to assist divination. Even if she is caught on the spot casting a spell, she can still use her superb acting skills to fool her. She doesn't want to be stupid.
Blow on the ground to cool down the tea.
The "Freezing Curse" that Professor Flitwick explained in Charms class worked very well.
Under Elena's magic, the steaming tea quickly cooled down - the thermal motion of molecules slowed down, which is not difficult to understand.
"You will affect the results of the divination -" Hermione lowered her voice and frowned as she read the instructions in the book.
"It's not stated in the book. Or...you can report me to the professor?"
"Forget it, let's move on to the next step."
Hermione sighed helplessly, she felt that one day she would be imprisoned by this group of people.
While Professor Trelawney was still patrolling the classroom, Hermione glared at Elena, quickly picked up the cup of "herbal tea" that looked like it had just been taken out of the refrigerator and drank it quickly - it was cold.
The tea instantly dispelled the dull sleepiness caused by the incense in the classroom.
Hermione squinted her eyes and savored the refreshing coolness flowing between her lips and teeth. It was hard to imagine that they were still radiating heat a second ago.
Sure enough, just as Elena showed in the spell class, she has mastered the advanced changes of the freezing spell.
Under Hermione's silent gaze of condemnation, Elena did not do anything unusual in the subsequent sessions. They drank all the tea, shook the teacup a few times, and drained the tea just as Professor Trelawney had taught them before.
, exchanged cups with each other.
"Okay," Elena said, and they both turned the book to pages five and six at the same time, "What did you see in my teacup?"
"Lots of soaked brown stuff, obviously," said Hermione.
As the brief coolness dissipated, the thick, fragrant heat in the classroom surged up again, making her feel a little stuffy.
"Expand your mind, my dears! Let your eyes go beyond the physical world!"
Professor Trelawney's voice echoed in the dim classroom.
Hermione tried to concentrate and at the same time tried to immerse herself in the illusion.
"Well, your tea leaves look like a kind of rickety cross..."
She said, while carefully reading the explanation in "Pull Through the Fog to See the Future".
"It means you will soon encounter trials and tribulations - that's a pretty snake oil description - but there's another pattern here that looks like it's supposed to be a sun omen. Wait...the sun means 'great joy'...
…So you may face trials, but you will also be happy?”
"If you ask me, I think your prophetic halo is not weak either? This sounds very reliable."
Elena said she had to try not to smile because Professor Trelawney looked in her direction.
"It's my turn..."
Elena peered into Hermione's teacup, imitating Luna's erratic voice as best she could.
"Oh, the black column rising on the horizontal line, this is a bowler hat," she said, "Maybe you will enter the Ministry of Magic in the future and become a Minister of Magic similar to Mr. Cornelius Fudge. Awesome
When the time comes, I can walk sideways outside..."
"Come on, Elena. I'm not going to be in politics - and please stop making trouble."
Hermione glanced at Elena helplessly. Of course she knew that this guy was imitating Luna.
Ignoring Hermione, Elena turned the tea cup to the other side and continued to play the prophet's game.
"But this way it looks more like an acorn... what is it?"
She flipped through her old and worn-out book, "Pull Through the Fog and See the Future" that seemed to have been soaked in tea, and spoke in a low voice.
"Wow! Windfall, unexpected gold! Well, let me think about it, it seems that the year-end bonus of "The Quibbler" is about to be given out? You probably haven't thought about this before. A perfect prophecy, remember to share it with me later
Some as reward for prophecy. There is something else here..."
Elena acted like a prophet vividly and twirled the tea cup again.
"This looks like an animal. Well, it looks like a pig, a snake, a tiger, a rabbit, a cow, and a sheep... I know what this is, yes, it should be
It's a big orange cat... Look, like this, it looks like you're going to get a cat soon? That's really good."
The wand in Elena's hand gently poked the bottom of the table, and a hazy light and shadow emerged above the tea leaves.
The light and shadow were dark shadows at first, but gradually became clearer as she analyzed the tea leaves.

"Cat? Pfft——"
Hermione was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.
Professor Trelawney turned quickly, just in time to see the last glimmer of light dissipate from the teacup.
"Let me see, honey."
She frowned and looked at Elena, quickly walked over and took the tea cup from Elena's hand.
Although she is not particularly good at magic, during her long time teaching at Hogwarts, Professor Trelawney was very aware that some students would secretly use magic in class.
Something that cannot be avoided, but only today...
Compared to those who use magic to disguise their talents, she is indeed even more intolerant of little guys who waste their precious talents.
"Please stay serious in class. Divination is not a subject suitable for fun and fun."
Everyone fell silent and stared at Professor Trelawney.
Hermione was so nervous that her face turned pale for a moment. This was the first time she had lost her composure in class.
It’s over, it’s over!
Everything is Elena's fault!
This white-haired dumpling is a troublemaker!
Professor Trelawney stared at Hermione's teacup and slowly turned it counterclockwise.
"Cat... dear, you have to be careful about being deceived or betrayed by your close friends..."
"Perhaps this should be interpreted as partners. The emergence of new partners."
Elena quickly retorted, looking at Professor Trelawney with a wary look on her face, and happened to meet Professor Trelawney's gaze.
"Look here, there are positive and negative interpretations written in the book——"
Elena pointed to the content in the book, "Counterclockwise rotation is a sign of reverse affixes, but after the two of us changed hands, the current position of the cup of tea became the smooth grip Hermione held when it was handed out.
So it should be flipped again. It's a physical image s"
The surrounding third-grade students looked at Elena in surprise and admiration.
This was their first time taking a class with Elena, and they had never heard of a student questioning what the professor was explaining before.
Compared with the dozen other magical subjects in Hogwarts, Divination is obviously more awe-inspiring. Not to mention, questioning the professor in this kind of subjective understanding is no less than abstract.
In the painting class, I questioned the teacher's ugly painting.
However, Professor Trelawney did not answer Elena.
She glanced at Elena thoughtfully, and calmly changed the tea cup to her left hand.
Then, Professor Trelawney lowered her big scary eyes, looked at Hermione's teacup, and continued to turn the teacup around.
"A bludgeon... an attack. Boy, oh boy, this is not a pleasant cup of tea..."
"But in my opinion, it's more like a bowler hat symbolizing power." Elena added politely and softly.
"Skeleton...the future is in danger, my dear..."
"Scattered gold coins, this should be considered a good sign, right? Unless the gold galleons hit the head."
Everyone stared at Professor Trelawney with their mouths open, and from time to time looked at Elena who kept adding completely opposite opinions.
However, what confused the whole class was that Professor Trelawney seemed to have blocked Elena's voice, and still kept her own rhythm while turning the tea cup to make predictions one after another - she finally turned the tea cup again and took a big sip.
He took a breath of air and screamed.
As Hermione raised her head and became increasingly dissatisfied, Professor Trelawney sat down on the empty armchair next to her.
Her shiny hands were covered with various pendants, caressing her heart, and her eyes were closed tightly.
"Oh my God - the second one today - my dear child - no - it would be better not to say it - don't ask me -"
"You couldn't have...seen something ominous in my tea cup, right?"
Hermione's mouth twitched and she asked bluntly.
She began to doubt whether her choice of this course was a wise decision, not that she had much evidence to prove that Professor Trelawney was lying, mainly because in the past year or so, similar performances of Elena
Every once in a while a period comes.
If this kind of thing can be regarded as a prophet, then Elena can definitely be regarded as a prophet no less than Professor Trelawney.
"Don't worry, Hermione, I don't think this seems ominous anyway-"
Elena shrugged helplessly and chose to protect her little wings without hesitation.
Anyway, when the class first started, Professor Trelawney took the initiative to send her an "officially recognized gold water", claiming that the "halo" surrounding Elena was extremely bright, and she was now using it as a countermeasure against Trelawney.
Professor Ni’s “unknown” reason.
"Oh, my dear, don't you understand?"
At this moment, Professor Trelawney's big eyes opened dramatically and looked deeply at Elena.
"I am not making predictions about Miss Granger, but about some simple and superficial future resonances about you, Elena Kaslana, who handed me the tea cup... As for what you said before
, Of course, this is obviously how you should behave..."
"Eh? What are you talking about?" Elena blinked and her expression froze slightly.
"You are also a prophet, Miss Kaslana, Professor Dumbledore told me before class."
Professor Trelawney looked at Elena calmly, gently put down the teacup in her hand, and continued amidst the whispers of the young wizards.
"It's not Miss Granger's ominousness, it's your ominousness - you are the source of the ominousness! The future resonance will pay a price, it will extinguish the aura of the people around you like a whirlpool, you have to learn to control yourself
Only with the power can we make accurate predictions..."
Previously, Elena had been watching the show, and a flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the excited Elena.
So that’s it, Professor Trelawney has been laying the groundwork for so long, is the result waiting for her here?
Albus Dumbledore's mission?
"Oh? So..."
Elena said softly with an undiminished smile.
"I——I don't know? I don't understand...are you admonishing or prophesying?"
