A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 981 Fire Scene

If you were to ask which three cards are the worst in Tarot, the answer would undoubtedly be The Tower, The Hanged Man, and... Death.

The card depicts a towering structure that is struck by lightning and destroyed, with people falling from the collapsing tower.

In tarot readings, the Tower symbolizes inevitable changes in life.

This change came suddenly, was incredibly intense, and was irresistible.

In other words, don't try to escape your fate; it's useless.

Of course, going back to the card itself, it depicts a person falling to their death from a high tower.

The Hanged Man's card is:

A person was hanging upside down from a tree trunk. His hands were tied behind his back and his feet were tied to the trunk.

The Hanged Man is a card that represents surrender. It suggests that during this period, one can benefit greatly by submitting to life.

This is a card from the heart.

Death, the most enigmatic tarot card, ranks 13th.

Its location alone is enough to demonstrate how terrible it is.

Furthermore, according to the ancient calendar, the thirteenth month is also the month of death and rebirth.

The Death card is quite complex:

The skeleton man wore a hood and rode a Thestral.

There was a flag in my hand, with a black background and blurry patterns on it.

There were broken trees nearby, and a river flowed not far away...

The Death card is full of various symbols, but no matter how it is interpreted, its main meaning is "the end".

Among these, death represents the end of everything, the cycle of all things in the world, which cannot be escaped.

At least, that's how Trelawney interpreted the Death card when she did a tarot reading for Dumbledore.

Goodness… Cho couldn’t help but glance at Trelawney.

Has it been Dumbledore's turn to die this year?

Trelawney predicts one death every year; does she predict that the students are tired and ready to practice on the professors?

William also looked at Trelawney with suspicion.

Her state of entering the Great Prophet Mode is very obvious; it's basically "Kogoro Mouri Mode."

He exuded an aura of charlatanry, and afterwards, he had absolutely no memory of it.

But that model is definitely not what it used to be.

It seems like a completely different way of "threatening" Professor Dumbledore to kick Ferrenze out.

Otherwise... why would she suddenly give Dumbledore a divination?

The three entered the North Tower, and as they approached the divination classroom, the smell of alcohol became even stronger.

The fumes were so strong that even Sir Cadogan, who was not far away, felt dizzy and disoriented.

In his drunken stupor, he wanted to develop a relationship beyond friendship with the little pony he usually rode.

Upon seeing William, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, he disregarded his pony and, swaying his armor, made a clattering sound as he ran towards them.

"Stark, you promised to introduce me to a lady from the Black family!!" he yelled. "Give it to me now!"

"I'll definitely do it next time!" William replied dismissively.

"I'll definitely do it again next time," he always says.

I want a lady from the Black family, and sweet love.

"I'll kill you!"

Kado and the lord angrily drew their swords from their sheaths and began to swing them wildly, leaping up and down in their rage.

But the sword was too long for him, and the extremely wide-ranging move caused him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

"You despicable braggart! I will never tell you anything about Merlin again!" Sir Cage roared.

Kado and the Jazz were Merlin's best buddies, and Kado only got into the Knights of Merlin by using his connections.

William often sought his advice about Merlin and even promised to find him a lady from the Black family.

He had obtained the intelligence, but the pimping job hadn't materialized, so it's no wonder he was so angry.

Qiu said with a strange expression:

"Isn't Sirius the only member of the Black family? You're not planning to introduce him to...wait, right?!"

"What are you thinking?" William glanced around and whispered, "It's a portrait, not a person."

"Portrait..." Qiu squinted.

The old Blake house only has one female portrait, doesn't it?

Sirius Black – A Portrait of His Mother!

Hmm... Qiu suddenly became excited.

She spent the last summer at the old Blake house. That old woman was the most annoying one, always spewing profanities.

That time, she and the old woman argued for half an hour, but the other woman was still more skilled and almost made her explode with anger.

Now the chance for revenge has arrived.

"William, that's where you're wrong," Qiu said righteously. "How can you not keep your promise to Sir Cadogan?!"

Let's arrange for the two portraits to meet this Christmas; I'll take care of it.

"..."

Well... since Qiu Du said so, we can indeed put the framed picture of Kado and the Jazz in the Black House.

Although she's a bit older, she's still a Blake Lady.

Besides, if we're really talking about age, Cadogan is a thousand years older than him.

It all comes down to Sir Cadogan and the old witch, one a chatterbox, the other a refined and easygoing one—who will ultimately be the king of torment?

The three quickly entered the divination classroom, where the smell of alcohol was even stronger.

It felt like stepping into a winery.

Trelawney sat lightly in an armchair, picked up a bottle of liquor, and gulped it down.

William drinks alcohol like water, and he is very worried that Professor Trelawney might suddenly die one day.

After all, according to the rule of deskmates, neither William nor Qiu can escape it.

"Darling, today we're going to study fire divination," Trelawney said, hiccuping.

"The color, size, shape, and mysterious signs of flames can only be deciphered by those who understand mystery."

Human destiny can be deciphered through the radiant light of flames, these lights intertwining…

The room was filled with a strange fragrance, mixed with the smell of alcohol, and Professor Trelawney's hypnotic voice...

Two minutes later, Qiu was already dozing off.

William took out his notebook and wrote down Professor Trelawney's prediction.

He has written down many of Trelawney's prophecies, whether they are true or false, and he will ponder them repeatedly.

"Come, let's make a fire." Professor Trelawney shakily pulled out her wand, intending to tap the pot.

Seeing her actions, William was afraid she would set her classroom on fire, so he took matters into his own hands.

Orange-red flames quickly ignited in the basin.

Trelawney suddenly widened her eyes, grabbed the bottle, and cried out in terror:

"I saw it, I saw it... A terrible disaster is about to strike..."

"What did you see?" William quickly pulled out his notebook again.

"The pine needles on the high mountain howl in the wind, and the night wind groans with despair."

The red fire burns in all directions.

The blooming tree was cremated.

"The scorching lava... is about to destroy the entire school..."

Trelawney started gulping down the wine again, but her hand slipped and the bottle fell into the brazier, spilling wine all over the floor.

The high concentration of sherry acted as a flammable agent, and the flames shot up to the roof with a whoosh, then spread along the alcohol to the shelves.

A case of sherry on the shelf exploded with a bang under the high temperature.

Trelawney let out a scream, trying to save her sherry.

She was looking for water, so she hurriedly grabbed another bottle of wine from the chair and poured it into the fire.

William: "..."

He raised his wand, ready to use "Clear Spring".

But the air was thick with the smell of alcohol, combined with the ubiquitous sherry and the "fueling" effect of Trelawney...

The fire quickly spiraled out of control as soon as it broke out, engulfing the "junk" in the office.

Well, Trelawney's prediction was spot on... the fire happened in two seconds.

Autumn woke up groggily and saw a raging fire.

She suddenly remembered that today was supposed to be the day to teach fire divination.

But isn't the teaching cost a bit too high?

……

(Okay, I can't finish writing the third update. The Third Crow failed its tribulation and regressed into an explosive crow.)
