Chapter 118 The Power of the Celestial Eye

The north tower of Hogwarts Castle.

Above a small staircase in the Divination classroom.

This is the office of the Divination professor at Hogwarts - Schelling can confirm that this is definitely the shabbiest office in Hogwarts. There is nothing in it except a desk and a bed.

Professor Trelawney opened her eyes wide and said in her signature soft, slurred voice: "Welcome to my office, you are -"

"Hello, Professor, I am Sherrin from the Malfoy family, and I am here to greet you."

"Oh, Malfoy's second son? I've heard your name, uh... it seems that you are not my student..." Professor Trelawney said with some confusion.

"Professor, it's like this. I'm encountering some difficulties in the world now, so I came to seek your help. I hope that you can help me find the answer through your third eye and your field of vision." Xie Lin politely expressed his request.

"Interesting." Professor Trelawney said calmly, "Why would you want to ask me for help?"

She continued: "Did you know that in my teaching career for the past ten years, you are the first student to come to me for guidance!"

"I have heard the name of your great-grandmother. Cassandra Trelawney is undoubtedly a true master of prophecy." Sherin said.

"But, after her, there has never been a prophet in my family," Professor Trelawney said softly: "I know that many people in the school think I am a liar, do you still think that I can predict? ?”

"Professor, why do you care so much about the opinions of the fools in the world? Most wizards do not believe in so-called prophecies, especially bad news. Therefore, no one will be willing to believe in prophecies before a real disaster strikes. This is Humanity!”

Xie Lin continued: "As for me, I believe that Professor you know prophecy, but you cannot control your own prophecy ability, and you cannot use it as you wish..." Xie Lin's tone was full of confidence.

"Oh, interesting, why do you think that?" Professor Trelawney's eyes flashed with shrewdness. She had met countless people with her half-hearted divination skills without being exposed, and observing colors has almost become her Instinctively, she sensed in Schelling a depth and wisdom that was no less than that of Dumbledore. To deal with such people, all deceptions and deceitful methods are useless. It is better to speak directly and clearly.

"Although Professor Dumbledore is old, he is still not confused. He will decide to hire you as the Divination professor at Hogwarts. He obviously thinks you have such qualifications."

"Yeah..." Professor Trelawney said to herself, "I admit that Dumbledore did not have a good impression of divination at first. At that time, he told me that Hogwarts was planning to open a divination class. Invited me to be a professor, but before that, Dumbledore wanted me to make a prophecy for him."

"Although I no longer remember the content of that prophecy, shortly after that, probably after the fall of the mysterious man, I came to Hogwarts as a divination professor. At that time, there was no so-called divination class in the school."

"It seems that the prophecy has come true." Xie Lin said softly.

"Getting back to the subject, since you know that I have not mastered my prophecy ability, the purpose of coming to me is..."

Xie Lin took out a bottle of magic potion from his arms, "This is a magic potion I specially refined. It can permanently increase a person's Psyche, or in layman's terms, Sentience. The main material is ten Even I only have one bottle of the rare Tears of the Thunderbird. It is even more precious to you diviners, as it can enhance your ability to see."

Schelling was not exaggerating. The rarity of thunderbirds is indeed about the same as that of phoenixes. They are protected species in North America. The one Newt rescued in the Fantastic Beasts movie was only smuggled into Egypt.

There were various changes in Trelawney's eyes. She was not a fool. Sherin was able to deliver such a precious potion to her door. It was obvious that he had a big plan.

Although she is very excited, she is used to living a comfortable life. Although she is often looked down upon in school, she has no worries about food and clothing, and there are no risks in her life. If she really has any emotional problems because of this, it is One bottle of Sherry will solve the problem, and if that doesn't work, then two bottles.

She decided to go straight to the point, "What do you need me to do for you?"

Xie Lin smiled and said: "The professor is a smart man, and Xie Lin will not ask for too much. Two things - first, I hope that the professor can divine for me ten times without violating personal principles," Xie Lin's His eyes suddenly became sharp, and his eyes were locked on Trelawney's.

"Second, I hope that the professor can form an alliance with the Malfoy family. You can continue to be your professor in Hogwarts, but if you can, help the forces I represent. Of course, you will not let Professor, you are at a disadvantage. Every time you make a move, you can offer me a bottle of magic potion in exchange. How about that?"

Trelawney hesitated only briefly before agreeing.

Xie Lin's offer was very generous, and being on good terms with the Malfoy family, which was at its peak, would be of no harm to her at this moment. Although she was a professor, multiple paths meant more choices. !

Dumbledore was not immortal. If one day he was fired by some blind principal, at least she would have somewhere to go.

[“Ally” Sybill Trelawney gets it! ]

Shalling used up the first divination opportunity, and he chose to use it on Wilda Griffith. This is a good test, let him see Trelawney’s true strength!

Trelawney poured the whole bottle of potion into his mouth.

She closed her eyes and indulged in the surge of spiritual perception. A strange mark shining with blue light appeared on her forehead. It was the shape of an eye, but there were many tentacles similar to plant roots around the eye, densely crawling all over her forehead.

“Is this the legendary Tianmu?” Shalling thought secretly in his heart. It seems that he made the right bet. Trelawney’s blood power did not disappoint him.

The talent of divination is also divided into levels, and Tianmu is undoubtedly one of the top ones.

The crystal ball on Trelawney’s desk suddenly burst into a dazzling light, just like a Muggle projector, projecting a very real illusion.

The illusion showed a small room that looked like a warehouse. There were no windows except for a door. Shelin could see Griffith sitting on a chair. She had a black cloth covering her eyes. Her hands were tied behind the back of the chair with a strange rope. Her feet were also fixed on the two chair legs.

There were two men in the room. One was sitting on a chair and smoking a famous wizard cigar leisurely. The other was pacing back and forth in the room with a very nervous look. The only thing in common was that both of them were holding wands tightly in their hands.

Griffith in the picture tilted his head, as if he was in a coma. If he showed any signs of waking up, he would be released with a Stunning Spell again.

"Amazing," Sherin praised, "Professor, can you please move your third eye farther away so I can see what's outside this room..."

The picture began to ripple, as if the illusion was a little unstable. Just as the picture began to blur, Trelawney's third eye pattern lit up again, and the whole picture slowly rose up. The people and objects in the picture gradually became smaller, and Sherin saw the building where the room was located.

The appearance of the building looked like the most ordinary small warehouse in the Muggle world, but this could not fool Sherin. This was definitely the work of a wizard. The entire warehouse exuded invisible magical fluctuations, probably because of the Muggle Expulsion Spell.

According to the angle of sunlight and shadow, this building is located in the north of England. Combined with the clues inferred from other nearby buildings and scenery, the range has been narrowed to about a dozen.

That's enough. Give these clues to Scrimgeour, and the rest is up to the Aurors.

It was enough for him to achieve this. He not only earned the favor of Deverill and Slughorn, but also let Scrimgeour receive the credit. At the same time, he also measured Trelawney's strength. It can be said that he killed four birds with one stone!

Schelling was very satisfied with the divination ability shown by Trelawney.

Then he made a second divination request, not Meredith, but Mrs. Zabini!

Divination is not omnipotent. If Meredith's current position is protected by the Fidelius Charm, then even if he knows the position, it will be useless. He will only be unable to enter the ancestral house like last time in Shafik.

The reason why the divination object was Mrs. Zabini was because Schelling suspected that she was the female member who appeared on the day of the Dragon's Shadow!

Professor Trelawney rested for a while. She had not yet fully adapted to her complete bloodline talent, so the divination just now consumed a lot of her mind.

She entered the meditative state again. With the experience of the last time, the third eye was stimulated faster, and the marks on her forehead were much clearer than the last time.

The image in the illusion showed two long wooden boxes in the shape of coffins, on which were carved many mysterious ancient runes. According to Schelling's inference, they were used to isolate the influence of the outside world, so as to better preserve the contents of the coffins.

Then, the image flashed and moved to an altar - the altar also placed the two coffins from before, but this time the coffins faintly emitted magical fluctuations that Schelling was very familiar with.

This is soul magic! Schelling had a very bad premonition in his heart. What on earth do they want to do?

Soon, two figures walked onto the altar. One was Mrs. Zabini, and the other was Mrs. Selwyn, although Schelling had never met her before, but he still recognized her - Mrs. Selwyn!

Mrs. Zabini and Mrs. Selwyn were whispering something there. Because the image was a little blurry, and Trelawney's illusion magic was not enough to project the sound, Schelling could not guess what they were saying.

Wait a minute? This character relationship diagram seems a bit messy... The Selwyn family is obviously a pure-blood family faction, and Mr. Selwyn is even a Death Eater! Although there were some conflicts between the Selwyn family and the Malfoy family, it was ultimately a matter of interest distribution, and there was no conflict in their ideas.

What was the matter with Lady Selwyn and the Dragon's Shadow getting together now?

Is this the biggest secret of the Selwyn family? Or is this actually Lady Selwyn's personal secret, and the family doesn't know about it?

At this moment, Professor Trelawney exclaimed softly, and the whole screen shook, spider-web-like cracks appeared, and finally broke into pieces, turning into starlight and dissipating.

Professor Trelawney seemed to have cast too much magic and was so tired that he fell asleep.

Sherin pondered for a while, left a note, and turned away.
