Chapter 339: Divination Test by God
Except for Hermione, the last exams for everyone else were Divination, and Hermione's was Muggle Studies.
The four little ones were already numb to the fact that Hermione could take the exam at the same time, and they had long stopped pursuing it. In the magical world, even if Voldemort suddenly gave birth to a monkey, it was normal.
They walked up the marble stairs together. Hermione broke up with them on the second floor, while Zhang Xiao and the others walked all the way to the eighth floor, whispering and discussing about going to watch the Quidditch World Cup during the holidays.
The few people didn't come early, and many little wizards were already sitting on the spiral staircase leading to Professor Trelawney's classroom, hoping to memorize something at the last moment.
Ron quickly blended into the group of young wizards, whispering his own "experience":
"Listen, buddy, no need to memorize, it's useless!"
"When you're doing divination, cover your mouth, squeeze out two tears, and shake your body, but don't shake too much, understand?"
"Then you try your best to say that you saw misfortune in it, the more miserable the better, a pet died, a pass, a broken leg, good, if you dare to say you died, God, that must be excellent!"
Many people disdained Ron's experience, but they still quietly pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
Malfoy stood aside with his arms folded, looking at Ron with a squint, as if he was looking at a stupid baboon.
As we all know, the Malfoy family never believed in prophecies, nor would they make any prophecies, right?
Harry didn't want to listen to Ron's "exam experience" because Ron had already talked about this theory many times yesterday.
He sat next to Neville, and the young wizard who had recently become popular was obviously also very distressed by the pursuit of others.
Just sitting alone, with a book "Seeing the Future Through the Mist" on his knees, pretending to be reviewing seriously.
"Professor Trelawney said she would meet us separately." Neville saw Harry coming and immediately closed the book, sighed deeply, and said in a low voice.
He thought for a while, and then continued: "The professor said that this time she will test everyone very seriously to see if everyone has aura and clairvoyance."
Harry couldn't help but worry, because he didn't seem to have the two things Trelawney said.
"Neville, did the professor say what would happen if you don't have these two things?" He asked carefully.
"She said. She will give the lowest score without mercy, so that - so that you won't have a fluke for this course, and have enough respect for the Divination course."
Harry's face wrinkled, as if he had eaten a bitter and sour orange, because he had never respected this course very much.
He sat down next to him, his ears perked up, and decided to listen carefully to Ron's 'experience of getting high scores in divination class'.
Zhang Xiao listened to the exchange between the two happily, he didn't care about this course.
Even if it's zero, it doesn't matter. I don't want to enter the Ministry of Magic, and it depends on my grades in school. As long as I have no desires, nothing can defeat me!
Now it seems that Neville doesn't care much. He sat next to Neville, picked up the book "Seeing the Future through the Mist", and flipped through it casually:
"It seems that you are not used to your current life?"
"Well, now there are countless people greeting me every day when I walk on the road. They are too enthusiastic. I am a little uncomfortable."
Neville sighed: "I didn't know that I had so many friends."
"Hahahaha, don't care too much about these, those little wizards don't think so much."
Zhang Xiao couldn't help laughing. Neville's words reminded him of someone in his previous life who said, 'When he was poor, no one cared about him. After he became rich, there were smiling faces everywhere, and there were good people everywhere. ’
But little wizards are naturally different from those people, and the world of children is simpler.
It’s just that those influential people in the school are always popular, and Hogwarts is no exception.
“I know, but I suddenly feel that the surroundings are very noisy, and I almost don’t have time to practice daily.”
Neville also smiled, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes: “To be honest, I still prefer life in the mountains, without any worries, and I don’t have to think about many things.
As long as I practice well, Sifu will praise me, bring me delicious food, and Sixiong will tell me many interesting stories during breaks.”
Zhang Xiao was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Neville to like hermit life. Many people couldn’t accept this monotonous life in the mountains.
The two didn’t talk anymore, but watched the noisy little wizards climb the stairs one by one to take the exam.
The line outside the classroom was shortened very slowly. As soon as someone walked down the silver staircase, the rest of the class whispered: “What did she ask? Did you pass?”
But they all refused to answer, looking heavy.
Finally, Lavender Brown took a breath and said in a very terrified tone:
"Trelawney said the crystal ball told her that if the people who had finished the test revealed the content of the test, they would encounter terrible things!"
Ron and Harry, who had already come to the circular platform and were preparing for the test, looked at each other.
Ron laughed contemptuously:
"You see, I said that Trelawney especially likes to scare people, as long as she says something terrible.
I now begin to think that Hermione is right (he raised his thumb to the trap door above his head), she is an old liar."
"Yes," said Harry, looking at his watch. It's two o'clock now. "I hope she will hurry up"
Parvati walked down the stairs with a proud look on her face.
"She said I have all the makings of a true seer," she told Harry and Ron: "I've seen a lot of things... Well, good luck to you!"
She jumped up and down the spiral staircase to find Lavender. Listening to her words, she wanted to open a divination house and become a mysterious divination witch.
"Ron Weasley," said the familiar vague voice above them.
Ron made a face at Harry, climbed the silver stairs and disappeared.
Professor Trelawney called people in a very different order. She was not in alphabetical order, but claimed that she had 'seen' the real order of the exams.
Now only Harry Malfoy and Zhang Xiao are left.
The three of them looked at each other, laughed together, and once again confirmed the fact that Trelawney was an old liar.
Not long after, Ron's big feet appeared on the stairs again.
"How did the exam go?" The three people stood up and asked with concern.
"Perfect, unparalleled." Ron's eyes were still red, and he handed over a small bottle.
"Fred and George's sob potion worked so well that I started crying as soon as I got in and had to scream to pretend I saw what I was seeing."
"Then what?"
"She was so happy and felt that my spiritual vision and aura had begun to awaken, so I cried and said that I saw my dear family leaving me.
And I pretended to see a werewolf. Trelawney was very satisfied, gave me a very high grade, and welcomed me to continue taking her class next semester. "
Does this really work? Malfoy and Harry almost popped their eyes out.
They wanted to ask further, but unfortunately Professor Trelawney's voice sounded above them:
"Well, we don't have enough time. Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, and Xiao Zhang, please come together."
The three of them were stunned for a moment, but they did not expect such a change in the end.
"Meet in the common room." He hurriedly said to Ron, then climbed up the ladder.
This tower room is hotter than ever.
The curtains were closed, a fire was burning in the fireplace, and the fragrant, overly strong and almost pungent smell of incense almost made Harry vomit.
Malfoy also coughed in a low voice. As for Zhang Xiao, he had been holding his breath for a long time. He can maintain this breath-holding state for about half an hour now, provided that all activities are kept to a minimum.
The seats in the classroom were arranged in a mess, and the three of them moved carefully between the tables and chairs.
Professor Trelawney sat behind a desk with a large crystal ball placed on it.
"Hello darlings."
It felt like she said this with great reluctance. When the three most annoying people in the class were gathered together, they would become even more annoying.
She tried hard to maintain that soft tone, but they still heard the disgust.
"Look at this crystal ball... Now let me time it and tell me what you see in it..."
Harry leaned over the crystal ball and looked as hard as he could, hoping it would allow him to see something other than the whirling white mist.
The same is true for Zhang Xiao. He felt that if he had such a big 'marble' when he was a child, he would definitely look down on the entire textile factory family.
Brother Ma looked at it very seriously. His two light golden eyebrows knitted together, and his face almost touched the crystal ball.
"Hmm?" Professor Trelawney asked punctually and considerately: "So, what did you see?"
The heat in the room was scorching, and Harry's nostrils stung from the scented smoke wafting from the incense burner.
He remembered the experience Ron had taught him before and decided to pretend.
"Oh -" Harry covered his mouth and blinked desperately, thinking about the saddest thing in his life, and his body shook as if he was electrocuted.
He saw that Trelawney's expression seemed to be suddenly filled with surprise, which greatly encouraged Harry.
But in the blink of an eye, he saw Malfoy's funny face due to refraction from the surface of the crystal ball.
Harry: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Hahahahahahaha!
Wild laughter suddenly filled the entire Divination classroom.
Malfoy raised his head with a blank look on his face, looking at Potter who was laughing with tears streaming down his face, and thought that Potter was probably a fool.
Trelawney was shaking, even more than Harry was shaking.
She stood up suddenly, as if she had lost control of her emotions, and screamed loudly:
"Get out! Get out of my classroom! Even if you don't like my class, you can't laugh at divination!
I don't welcome you, not welcome! "
Trelawney's chest rose and fell rapidly. She took off her glasses with thick beer bottle caps, and she didn't know when she was filled with tears.
Harry hurriedly explained: "Sorry Professor, I...I really didn't mean to laugh at me. I just..."
"go out!"
Harry wanted to say something more, but Zhang Xiao had already pulled him back calmly. Now Trelawney was so angry that she wouldn't listen to anything she said.
He could probably guess why Trelawney broke the defense. As a descendant of a famous fortune teller, Trelawney really wanted to become as outstanding a fortune teller as her ancestors.
It's just a matter of divination. It does depend on talent.
So Trelawney was poor and destitute until she met Dumbledore and made the prophecy that changed the entire wizarding world.
Dumbledore gave her this position because this prophecy was to protect Trelawney.
But she really didn't have any outstanding performance. She could only rely on pretending to be mysterious to confuse the little wizards, which was indeed effective at the beginning.
But when the little wizards grew up, this set of tricks lost its effect, not to mention the contempt hidden in the hearts of other teachers.
So when she thought Harry was deliberately laughing in front of her or at this important moment of the exam to laugh at her.
She finally broke down.
Zhang Xiao pulled Harry again and whispered: "I know, this is a misunderstanding. You go to Professor McGonagall and wait for the professor to recover, and then apologize and explain."
What else can Harry say, although he feels that he is also wronged, he can only nod helplessly, and under the gaze of Malfoy, who still doesn't know what happened and looks confused, he slowly walks towards the stairs.
"One day, you will know that divination is not a joke, no!"
Trelawney was still shouting angrily, Zhang Xiao let out a long breath and let go of the breath he was holding.
Almost immediately, a faint smell of alcohol rushed into his nose.
I blame others for laughing at you. You are taking an exam today, sister, you actually drank alcohol?
Zhang Xiao's eyes turned around an empty bottle of sherry behind the desk, and he felt that the entire exam today was very painful.
"Professor, I'm sorry!" Harry said with his head down. He wanted to leave this classroom and the stuffiness here more than ever.
He did the same, running towards the stairs as if he was running for his life.
Just then, a loud, hoarse voice spoke behind him-"Fate. The inescapable fate is coming."
This voice was creepy and weird.
Harry turned around quickly.
Malfoy also raised his head in astonishment and looked at Professor Trelawney.
She stood up, lowered her head, and her messy hair covered her body. She seemed to be stiff.
Her eyes were scattered and her chin was drooping. She looked weird and scary.
Zhang Xiao narrowed his eyes and his eyes suddenly became sharp. In just a moment, a piece of Xuanyao jade silk that was used for recording in the second grade was ready.
If I guessed correctly, Trelawney's great prophecy that had been cooled for ten years at a time, her CD was over!
