I'm the king of the roll at Hogwarts

Chapter 184: The Versatile Trelawney

Professor Trelawney stared at Neville with a burning gaze, until he felt uneasy and even his breathing became uneven.

Fortunately, she looked away after staring for a while, which made Neville secretly relieved.

"This year we are learning various basic divination methods. For the first semester, we will only learn to read tea leaves. Next semester, we should learn palmistry. By the way, I would like to remind you, my dear." When she said this, she looked at Ron: "Be careful of the people around you."

Ron looked from Harry to Louis to Hermione before finally fixing his gaze on Draco.

Draco frowned and said with great disgust: "I am not someone you can be around, red-haired squirrel."

Before Ron could retort, Professor Trelawney spoke again.

This time it was to Draco.

"As for you, my child." Her mysterious expression made it hard for anyone to believe the accuracy of her words: "Be careful of men who play with fire."

Louis knew that Trelawney was talking about Crabbe, the fat boy, who set fire to the Room of Requirement in seventh grade and almost burned Draco to death.

Of course, he also burned himself to death.

As the ancients said, playing with fire will lead to peeing on the kang, and Crabbe played with fire and burned himself.

"In the summer," Professor Trelawney continued, "we will learn how to read a crystal ball - if we have already learned the flame omen... Unfortunately, in February, a severe flu will force the class to be suspended, and I will lose my voice... Around Easter, one of us will leave us forever."

After she said this, the classroom fell into a tense silence, but Professor Trelawney didn't feel anything about it, and even seemed to enjoy it a little.

Louis checked with the original book and found that Professor Trelawney was talking nonsense... maybe she just did it to scare the children for fun?
"I think, dear," she said to Lavender Brown, who was nearest to Professor Trelawney, and who shrank back in her chair at the sudden turn of the professor.

"Could you please hand me the biggest teapot?" Professor Trelawney didn't realize that she had scared the new good student.

Lavender looked relieved as she stood up, took a huge teapot from the shelf and placed it on the table in front of Professor Trelawney.

"Thank you, dear, and by the way, the thing you are afraid of—it will happen on Friday, October 16th."

Lavender shuddered.

This is pure bullshit. Louis looked at Lavender, who was terrified, and thought that being uneducated was really scary...

He looked at his friends who were a little solemn around him, patted Hermione's shoulder who was still in a daze, and motioned for everyone to form a circle.

"October 16th is Saturday, and Professor Trelawney is scaring people," Louis whispered.

The friends finally understood what was going on and didn’t find it so scary anymore.

The other students didn't hear it, but that didn't mean Professor Trelawney couldn't hear Louis's little move. She turned her head and laughed at Louis.

"Mr. Mountbatten, do you mind if I show you the future using the method we are about to learn?"

Louis smiled politely and refused: "Sorry, professor, I don't believe this."

"Then what do you believe in?" Professor Trelawney argued with Louis with great interest: "Crystal ball? Tarot cards? Or astrology? What's your zodiac sign?"

It was too unsociable to say that he didn't believe in anything, so Louis had to think of an inappropriate way to try to stop Professor Trelawney: "Sorry, professor, I only believe in the I Ching that my mother taught me."

I thought this sentence would completely put an end to Professor Trelawney's eagerness to try divination, but she suddenly brightened up and slapped her thigh, "What a coincidence! Mr. Mountbatten, I happen to have a little knowledge of this. Do you want to use the traditional yarrow shavings method, divination, or money class?"

"Is there anything else you don't know?" Louis was surprised. He never expected that Professor Trelawney was such an all-rounder in Divination class...

"I'm not good at face reading like the Koreans..." Professor Trelawney told the truth.

After all, she couldn't tell whether Jeon was suitable to be president (bushi.

Louis thought that it would be a bit embarrassing to refuse Professor Trelawney at this point, so he said, "Then burn a tortoise shell for me."

Professor Trelawney nodded, took out a tortoise shell from the shelf at the back, and after a long while of mumbling, she used an iron rod to pick up the tortoise shell and put it on the fire in the fireplace to bake. After a while, the tortoise shell made a crackling sound, and Professor Trelawney picked up the tortoise shell, not afraid of the heat, and held it in her hand, her face close to the tortoise shell, almost touching it.

"No to 'View', this is... this is..." Professor Trelawney's eyes were now completely covered with whites, and her voice was no longer as gentle as before. Instead, it sounded like many people speaking in a hoarse voice, as if in the cave, with a slight echo: "The light of the country of 'View', the guest of the king... Sybill Trelawney pays homage to my king..."

Having said that, he fell to his knees with a thud.

Fortunately, these words were said in Chinese, otherwise Louis would not be able to explain them clearly.

But the professor's abnormal behavior still caused all the students in the audience to be noisy. Everyone was curious about what incomprehensible language she had just said, as if she was speaking in secret code to Louis.

Louis stopped the students from making any noise, turned around and quickly helped Professor Trelawney up, took the tortoise shell from her hands, and put it in his arms.

At this time, Professor Trelawney seemed to have recovered from her nervousness. Her pupils reappeared in her eyes, and she looked at Louis who was supporting her in front of her with some confusion.

"What did I just say?" she asked, bewildered.

"You didn't say anything, professor. It's time to continue teaching everyone." Louis quickly changed the subject. He didn't want to continue this sensitive topic.

Don't you want to die? How can I, Louis, be a usurper?
Professor Trelawney shook her hair like a drowned cat, calmed down for a moment, and said loudly: "Now, I want you all to split into two groups, take a teacup from the shelf, come over to me, and I will pour tea into your cups."

The students followed instructions and lined up in two lines to get tea cups from the shelf, then returned to their seats and waited for Professor Trelawney to pour tea into their cups.

You are so careless! Aren’t you afraid that Professor Trelawney will add some strange unknown substance into the tea?
You are an astrologer. After seeing the students sitting down, Professor Trelawney met the students' waiting eyes and said in detail: "When I say drink tea, you will start drinking tea. When there is only tea leaves left in the cup, shake the tea leaves three times with your left hand, then turn the cup upside down and put it on the cup holder; when the last bit of tea is gone, then exchange your tea with your companion to interpret it - you can use the contents of pages 5 and 6 of the book "Seeing the Future through the Mist" to interpret the shape of the tea leaves. I will walk among you to help you and guide you. Oh, and, dear -"

She grabbed Neville's arm and pulled him up. "Could you please help me pick out a teacup? If you don't mind, get me a blue one. Thank you."

It was a very strange combination, Harry and Draco were in one group, Hermione and Ron were in another. Louis didn't know who to choose, and Dean Thomas volunteered to come over and get together with Louis.

Louis shook the teacup gracefully - the teacup looked a bit like the tea bowl in that authentic city, and it had a lid. Louis' DNA started moving at once, and he sat up straight and gave his classmates a very dignified lesson on how to drink tea.

Hey, guess what? This is what happens every morning in old London. Hey, it’s authentic…

It’s a pity that this tea is not scented with jasmine flowers, what a pity.

He shook the tea leaves as Professor Trelawney had instructed him to do, then drained the cup and exchanged cups with Dean.

"What did you see in my cup?" Dean asked curiously.

"Tea." Louis answered honestly.

This answer made Dean so stunned that he almost fainted.

"Open your minds, my dears, and look beyond the world!" Trelawney called out in the darkness at a very opportune moment, in a high voice.

"Well, I saw a TV. It's ridiculous, but it really looked like a TV." Dean said hesitantly, flipping through the book as he spoke, but he didn't see what the TV represented until he reached the last page.

"Then I'm quite a drinker." Louis chuckled and looked down at Dean's teacup.

There is a rat on it.

"It's a rat. I don't know what rats have to do with you, Sister Li." Louis said hesitantly, "Generally speaking, rats represent..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard Dean yell. It turned out that Ron's Scabbers ran out and passed in front of him.

He was most afraid of this kind of furry little animal. Louis said with some gloating: "I want to take back my previous contempt. It seems that this divination is quite accurate. At least it has come true now."

"Ron! Can you please keep your rats under control!" Dean sounded a little unhappy.

Ron apologized quickly, but Dean wasn't the type to hold on to anything, so after the shock wore off, he let Ron go.

Harry burst into laughter. He didn't expect that this divination would be so unexpectedly accurate.

"So you're just going to sit here and grin like an idiot, right?" Draco's words were unpleasant. He held Harry's tea bowl, stared at it for a long time with a strange look on his face, and said while referring to the book: "Falcon, oh, oh, oh, Harry, you have a mortal enemy..."

"You are talking nonsense, Draco." Harry frowned and said, "Who doesn't know the deep hatred between Voldemort and me?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head to look at Draco's teacup. After a long while, he said uncertainly, "Look at you, Draco. What are you drinking... Um, this is... Ha... This is a dinosaur, right? It must be a Tyrannosaurus Rex, right?"

Fortunately, Harry has such a rich imagination, but unfortunately there are no records of dinosaurs in the wizarding world.

Hermione also said to Harry: "Harry, I suggest you take a closer look, there are no stories about dinosaurs in the wizarding world.

"Okay." Harry reluctantly changed the angle of the teacup, hesitated, and said, "This time, um, it looks like a flower pot."

"Found it." He turned to the record about the flower pot: "It seems that you should be careful about the circle of friends around you, Malfoy."

"I think I should be careful not to pass out," Draco said sarcastically.

Before Harry could retort, Trelawney came over and snatched the cup from Draco's hand.

She frowned and looked at it for a long time, turning it as she looked: "Well, a big stick, an attack, dear, this is not a lucky teacup...skull, there is danger, your future, dear."

At this time, the classmates in the class stopped fiddling with the teacups in their hands, and instead looked intently at Harry to see what Trelawney could do.

At the same time, the cup in Neville's hand broke. Professor Trelawney couldn't tell whether she was frightened by the thing in her hand or the sound of Neville's broken cup. She took a few steps back and sat down on an empty armchair. She put her hand on her heart, closed her eyes and breathed heavily.

After being led by Professor Trelawney, the students dared not breathe. They held their breath and looked at Professor Trelawney intently.

"Oh, no - my dear child, my poor child... no, no, no, it's too horrible, I'd better not tell it..."

This made Harry at a loss for words, and he stared at the teacup in his hand in a daze. His classmates stood up in a rush, surrounded their table, and stood on tiptoe to look into Harry's cup in the middle.

"What's wrong, Professor?" Dean asked casually.

"My dear..." At this time, Professor Trelawney opened her eyes, she stood up, and the students made way for her. She came to Harry's side and said tremblingly: "You...you have an ominous..."

"What do I have?" Harry obviously didn't understand what was going on. Why was he chosen to have something bad happen while he was just drinking tea?
The classmates looked at each other, especially Hermione and Ron. Hermione looked at Professor Trelawney with disdain, and her eyes almost said that you are a charlatan.

"It's bad! It's bad!" Professor Trelawney waved her skinny arms. After a while, she jumped up, pointed at Harry and shouted, "That ghostly big dog wandering in the graveyard! My dear child, this is a bad omen! A very bad omen! The worst omen!"

Louis almost laughed, but luckily he reacted in time and held it back.

Actually, Professor Trelawney was not wrong, but what she said was a bit misleading...
