Chapter 318 Cats and Tea

Fish was completely uninterested in Professor Trelawney's persuasion again and again...

Because divination can't help him find delicious and fun things, and the most important thing is that Professor McGonagall doesn't like it.

Seeing that Fish was unmoved, Professor Trelawney was not discouraged, because in her opinion, the fact that Fish would take a divination course proved that he was actually interested in divination, and it was only because of Professor McGonagall's slander that he was interested in divination. Resistance to becoming a fortune teller.

Next, as long as he shows the magic and greatness of divination during the teaching process, Na Feishu will naturally want to become a fortune teller.

Professor Trelawney, who has successfully deceived students one after another, is still very confident in herself.

However, she didn't know that the reason why Feixi took the divination class was not because she suddenly became interested in divination. Maomao's reason for taking the divination class was very simple - because there were relatively few homework assignments in this class.

Professor Trelawney, who misunderstood Fish's idea, was in high spirits and continued her dazzling performance. Although she failed to attract Fish as expected, many students were frightened by her. .

Especially those students who were named by her for prophecy, one or two of them became extremely nervous because what she said was not good.

Of course, there are those who believe and those who don’t.

For example, Hermione, Dean Thomas and several other students who usually live in Muggle society have different living habits and cultural education from wizards, making it easier for them to develop an interest in things like divination that have no clear evidence. question.

However, Professor Trelawney has seen many situations like this. It's not like she hasn't been questioned by students. These people are not her target group in the first place.

She can even give a prediction that has a high probability of coming true based on past experience——

"After the summer vacation, one of us will leave us forever."

After successfully silencing the students with this prophecy, Professor Trelawney put on a calm demeanor and began to assign tasks to everyone.

"Now, I ask you to divide into groups of two. Each person takes a teacup from the shelf and comes to me. I fill the cup with tea... You can refer to Chapters 5 and 5 of "Parting Through the Fog to See the Future" Six pages to decipher the shapes of tea leaves.”

She instructs everyone on how to perform tea divination, then stands up, picks up the large copper teapot on the mantelpiece, and prepares to pour tea for the students.

And what she did was not meaningless.

After some observation, Trelawney had already locked onto a target - when the nervous Neville stood up and was going to get the tea cup, she grabbed his arm and said, "What's going on with you?" After breaking the first tea cup, could you please pick a blue one? I like the pink one so much."

Neville then becomes more nervous and successfully cooperates with Trelawney's prophecy by breaking a tea cup.

The little wizards who were already intimidated suddenly became more convinced of Trelawney, while the students who were still doubtful were also a little shaken.

Professor Trelawney still has two skills in this area, and her skills in deceiving people are much better than Lockhart.

It's just that her ultimate goal, Fei Xu, is completely uninterested in it.

It's not like Fish has never seen the successful prophecies of centaurs. Their success rate in divination is much higher than Trelawny's.

But whether the divination is a lie or not doesn't matter to the little cat at all. As long as the divination can't help him find delicious and fun things for a day, then in Feixu's eyes, it is a lie.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

(〃｀3〃)=3

Fei Xu was holding the tea cup he took from the shelf and blowing hard on the hot tea inside.

Although the aroma of the tea was a bit too strong, it did not stop the curious cat from trying a drink he had never tasted before.

After blowing for a long time, the tea in the cup finally cooled down a bit. Feishu couldn't wait to put his mouth to the edge of the tea cup and took a sip of the tea inside.

"It tastes really good, nya!"

∑(●ω●)

The little cat looked at the cup in his hand with bright eyes.

In addition to tea leaves, tea in England also adds milk, sugar, honey, fruits, jasmine and other ingredients to make different types of black tea.

For example, Duke black tea, jasmine black tea, jam black tea, etc.

In order to make the tea aroma stronger and make the students dizzy and more likely to be fooled by herself, Trelawney added more ingredients than normal.

This resulted in her pot of tea being much sweeter than ordinary tea, which naturally attracted Fei Xu's favor.

Fish squinted his eyes and drank all the tea in the cup. The tip of his tail was raised up and down because of his good mood. The kitten's sense of the divination class suddenly became better...

You can actually drink during class!

For this reason alone, Divination class would be in Fish's top three favorite classes.

"Sybil, can Fish have another drink?"

(●ω●)

Fish asked, holding up his empty cup.

"Of course no problem, honey."

Professor Trelawney immediately ran over with a large copper teapot to refill Fish's cup.

Hermione on the side watched this scene speechlessly...

Professor Trelawney's performance had already made her have no expectations for the Divination class.

But as a good student who values ​​grades, Hermione still intends to follow the professor's instructions carefully and complete the homework assigned in class. According to the normal procedure, she should take turns to look at the tea leaves with her teammate Fish.

Just looking at the kitten in front of her who was calmly drinking black tea without stopping, Hermione wisely chose to be self-sufficient...

She first shook the tea leaves in the cup three times with her left hand as Professor Trelawney had instructed before, and then turned the cup upside down on the tray. After the last drop of tea had seeped out, she began to interpret the shape of the tea leaves.

"Hmm..."

Hermione looked at the tea leaves in her cup from left to right and found that no matter from which angle she looked at it, the tea leaves looked like a cat...

I don't know if it was my own psychological effect.

Hermione glanced at Fish beside her shyly, but the cat was immersed in drinking tea and didn't notice her at all.

This made Hermione a little angry, and she also put her attention back on interpreting the tea leaves.

Opening the book "Seeing the Future through the Mist" at hand, Hermione looked up the meaning of the tea leaves in the shape of a cat.

"The shape of the cat symbolizes 'love of sensuality, passion and elegance'. The cat's tail is upturned... 'being envied by others'... what does this mean?"

Hermione muttered to herself as she flipped through the book. The latter part was easy to understand, as she was indeed hated by others recently... but the interpretation of the former part was a bit vague.

What does "love of sensuality, passion and elegance" mean? Because she elegantly enjoyed Phish's passion, she was envied by others?

Divination is like this. No matter how much you don't believe it, you will always unconsciously apply your own experience to it, and subconsciously choose the part of the interpretation that is beneficial to you.

Professor Trelawney, who had refilled Phish's tea again, heard her muttering and leaned over to take a look.

Although Trelawney rarely appeared in front of the students, she knew everything that happened in Hogwarts, but she was definitely not ignorant of it.

After all, she still needs to rely on this information to design her own "prophecy", not to mention that Fish is the "successor" she has been paying attention to, so Professor Trelawney actually knows what happened between Hermione and Fish on the train.

So she continued along with Hermione's words.

"Oh, this shows that you will make some progress in your relationship recently."

In fact, Professor Trelawney did not think that Hermione's interpretation was correct at all, but seeing that Hermione and the cat had a good relationship, she was too lazy to point it out.

Well, fooling her was just a side job.

Hermione, who was successfully fooled, felt a slight jump in her heart, and suddenly felt...

It seems that the divination class is not as useless as she imagined.
