Chapter 317 Divination Professor

After breakfast, the third-year students in Gryffindor rushed to the Divination classroom together. Because the classroom was located on the top of the north tower, it would take a long time to get there.

However, with Fish, a little cat who knew all the secret passages of Hogwarts, leading the way, their distance was greatly reduced.

After passing through several strange-looking doors, everyone followed Fish around the castle like headless flies, and soon came to a narrow spiral staircase.

"Just climb up this staircase and you'll find Sybil, meow."

(●ΦωΦ●)

Fish said, pointing to the staircase where the speed was obviously not right.

Fortunately, this staircase didn't look very long. Everyone looked at each other and stepped up helplessly.

What they didn't expect was that this was just the beginning. After climbing this spiral staircase, there were new spiral stairs to climb, and the speed and direction of rotation of these stairs were different. Everyone finished the climb with a huff and a puff. After the stairs, everyone felt dizzy and out of breath.

Of course, except for Fish, this level of rotation and movement is nothing to a kitten.

"Oh my god... George and Fred never said that they need to suffer such torture before taking the divination class..."

Ron muttered and complained as he covered his head, which was still a little confused.

"Why did Meow say that?" Fish shook his head incomprehensibly, "These stairs are so interesting, Meow."

Everyone smiled bitterly. In fact, if you walk slowly, climbing these stairs will be a little tiring, but everything else is fine.

But Fisch, who was in the lead, walked with great strides, and everyone subconsciously speeded up accordingly. Only then did everyone feel dizzy after climbing the stairs.

After calming down, everyone started looking around.

They were standing on a small platform. There was not a door around, let alone a door, not even a window.

Just when everyone was confused, they saw Fish running to the center of the platform, raising his head and shouting to the ceiling: "Sibyl! Fish is here for class, meow!"

Only then did everyone discover that there was a circular trap door on the ceiling with a brass plate embedded on it, which read "Sibyl Trelawney, Divination Teacher".

As Fish shouted, the trap door opened automatically, and a silver ladder fell from above.

"Come up."

(●ΦωΦ●)

Feishu climbed up the ladder without saying a word, and when he was about to enter the classroom, he turned back and waved to the students below.

Everyone climbed up the stairs with Fish and came to a classroom that looked like a cross between an attic and an old-fashioned teahouse.

There are many courses at Hogwarts. Except for flying classes and astronomy classes that do not require classrooms, as well as the Care of Magical Creatures class they are about to take in the afternoon, the classrooms for other classes have their own characteristics.

But the divination classroom was definitely the most unlike a classroom they had ever seen.

There were at least twenty small round tables crammed into the small classroom, surrounded by calico armchairs and bulging futons.

The curtains in the room were drawn tightly, and no light from the outside could penetrate, but it did not appear dark inside. Everything was illuminated by a hazy red light.

The reason for this red light was that the lamps in the room were covered with large crimson scarves and the mantelpiece where the fire was burning brightly.

This made the classroom not only dazzling, but also extremely hot.

In addition, there is a large copper teapot on the mantelpiece. The teapot exudes a strong fragrance of tea. Many people think that the strong smell is a bit too strong and even a little disgusting, not to mention Fei Xu has a keen sense of smell...

So when Maomao entered the classroom, he had already cast a deodorizing spell on himself.

"Sybil, long time no see, meow."

(●ΦωΦ●)

Fish ran to the corner and greeted a figure in the shadows.

Professor Trelawney originally wanted to show off her mystery, but was suddenly called off by Fish, and she had no choice but to walk out of the shadows.

"Welcome," she walked to the fireplace, her whole body bathed in firelight, looking full of mystery, "it's so nice to finally see you in the material world."

Professor Trelawney's voice was soft and a little unclear. Although it sounded a little weird, it fit her identity as a diviner very well.

Everyone looked at Professor Trelawney at a loss. Firstly, they couldn't quite understand what the other party was saying. Secondly, the other party's dress was too exaggerated. They couldn't help but think of the person who had a good relationship with Fish. Luna Gudloff…

Trelawney was very thin. A pair of large glasses magnified her eyes several times in size. She was wearing a thin and transparent shawl decorated with many shiny metal pieces.

There were countless beads and chains hanging around her long and slender neck, and many bracelets and rings on her arms and hands, making Professor Trelawney look like a huge, shiny insect. .

"She must be a Ravenclaw like Luna."

Ron whispered to Harry beside him: "Just like Slytherin always produces dark wizards, Ravenclaw always likes to produce weirdos."

Although this was just a stereotype of Ron, or most students, he was right this time. Trelawney was also a Ravenclaw.

"Sybil, why does your place smell so strong?"

ω

The little cat didn't pay any attention to Professor Trelawney's pretentiousness...

Anyway, she still has centaurs, and she has always had this kind of behavior, and Fish has long been used to it.

But the kitty couldn't bear the strong scent of tea in the air, so he immediately frowned and complained to Professor Trelawney.

Professor Trelawney smiled and continued to speak in her soft and unclear voice: "Interpreting tea leaves is the introduction to divination class, and this is also the content of your first class today."

With that said, she gently patted Fei Xu's little head, pointed to the small round table nearest to her, and said: "Sit down first, and you, my children, sit down."

Fish sat down as instructed, and then three Gryffindor girls, Hermione, Lavender and Parvati, immediately grabbed the seat next to Fish, and the four of them occupied the small round table.

Everyone else also gathered together and found a suitable place to sit down.

"Welcome to the divination class," Professor Trelawney also sat down on an easy chair in front of the fire. He did not look at everyone, but stared at the ceiling with empty eyes and said, "I am Terry. Professor Lowney. You may not have seen me before. I find that being in the chaos and noise of campus life makes my third eye blurry."

Regarding the "Third Eye", Harry and the others had already heard the senior students mention it in their arguments when they were choosing courses, and knew that this was probably a talent used to predict the future...

As for where it grows and how to feel it, Harry and the others are at a loss.

Professor Trelawney did not explain much. She adjusted her shawl gracefully and continued: "So, you have taken the divination class, which is the most profound of all magical arts. I must Say it up front, if you don't have insight, there's nothing I can do about it, books can only teach you so much in this area..."

Hermione looked horrified to hear that books had little help in the subject.

At this time, Fish came close to her ear and whispered: "The centaurs in the Forbidden Forest also said something similar, but Minerva said it was just an excuse they made after the divination failed."

"I heard!"

Professor Trelawney's easy chair was right next to Fish's table, so she naturally heard the kitten's whispers.

In anger, her voice was no longer so soft, but became sharp.

"Minerva is just jealous because she has no prophecy talent!"

Hearing Professor Trelawney say this about Professor McGonagall, everyone looked at Fish nervously, fearing that he would jump up and punch Professor Trelawney like he did to Professor Lockhart and Professor Lupin.

However, the little cat's mood seemed very stable at this time, because he had long been tired of watching the scolding battle between Professor McGonagall and Trelawney.

Moreover, when the two of them quarreled, they would always get themselves involved...

"Fish, you should listen to me and become a fortune teller. Unlike Minerva, you have the talent of a fortune teller!"

Sure enough, it is like this again...

(ω)

The little kitten looked at Professor Trelawney with hollow eyes, and flicked its tail helplessly.

In fact, many of Trelawney's prophecies in the original work were successful, not just the two she made when she lost consciousness.

For example, the prophecy "Thirteen people eat together, the first person to stand up after the meal will be the first to die."

At that time, Ron still had Scabbers in his arms, so the first one to get up was actually Dumbledore, and he was indeed the first to die among the thirteen people.

Also, she said that Harry was born in winter, which actually corresponds to the soul of Voldemort in his head.

Many of Trelawney's prophecies seemed like she was talking nonsense at the time, but later it was confirmed that she was right. It's just that when she said these prophecies, she might not believe it herself... ┑ (￣Д￣)┍

Another trivia fact, the actress who plays Trelawney is also named Emma, ​​Emma Thompson.
