Chapter 208 Professor Tang, Is that Person Really Resurrected?
The roll call session went smoothly. In fact, the purpose of this session was to allow the professor to match students with their names. For Tang Sen, this project had been completed long before the open class.
He knew his students better than they thought they knew them, and even better than some of the students themselves.
So when he closed the student roster, he had already turned his attention in the direction of Malfoy in advance. Sure enough, the Slytherin student couldn't wait to shout: "Professor Tang, you missed someone!"
After shouting this sentence, he noticed that the other party had been waiting for him to speak for a long time. The picture of the other party seeing through the future and controlling the situation in the open class suddenly appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt a little guilty.
There were low exclamations and laughter from all around. It was obvious to the students that Professor Tang had foreseen Malfoy's words.
"Mr. Malfoy." Townsend opened the student roster again, "Your reminder is very timely."
He cast his gaze towards the door of the classroom, and the students suddenly fell silent. Then, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps and the sound of breathing like a bellows getting closer and closer, and a figure broke in.
"Harry Potter." Townsend read the name into the student handbook.
Harry looked around in confusion and quickly said to Tang Sen, "I'm sorry, Professor Tang. I didn't mean to be late, I -"
"Please take a seat, Mr. Potter." Townsend smiled and waved, "You have to thank Mr. Malfoy for reminding you to catch up with the roll call, otherwise I might have deducted points from Gryffindor."
Harry looked even more confused.
Thanks Malfoy? How can it be!
Returning to sit down next to Hermione, Harry couldn't wait to say: "Guess who I saw in Professor Dumbledore's office?!"
"Snape! He seems to have gone on some secret mission. About magicians or something."
"Tell me the important point." Hermione whispered: "What did Professor Dumbledore say?"
"Didn't say anything." Harry spread his hands helplessly: "He just asked me to believe him. I have heard this sentence too many times."
There was some resentment in his tone: "Professor Dumbledore has hardly met with me since the beginning of this semester. I am kept in the dark about everything he is doing. Everyone is hiding it from me. Obviously I I’m the one who saw Voldemort’s resurrection with my own eyes! I’m the one who personally fought against Voldemort!”
"Shh!" Seeing Harry getting more and more excited as he spoke, Hermione quickly covered his mouth: "Professor Tang is staring at you."
Harry quickly raised his head, and sure enough, he saw the Divination professor from the East looking at him with a smile, and he couldn't help but blush.
"Mr. Potter," Townsend said, "I was about to start explaining the simplest divination technique - coin divination. I noticed that you seem to have a strong desire to express yourself. How about you tell everyone, what is coin divination? "
"Okay." Harry stood up awkwardly and stammered: "Coin divination is a convenient divination that does not require much preparation. Coins are usually used as divination objects."
There were some chuckles all around, and Harry could hear Malfoy scoffing in a low voice: "That's all nonsense!"
This made Harry purse his lips and glare.
"Mr. Potter." Tang Sen's voice came from the podium: "That's a good lecture. Please continue."
The professor's encouragement made Harry feel slightly better. He took a deep breath and continued: "The occasions where coin divination can be applied are usually those where clear answers are needed, because the revelations that can be obtained from coin divination are in most cases In some cases there are only pros and cons, meaning right or wrong, should or shouldn’t be.”
"Very good." Townsend praised: "It seems that Mr. Potter has previewed what we are going to talk about today."
"Five points to Gryffindor."
As the professor of Divination, Tang Sen naturally has the power to add and deduct points for the four colleges, and this power does not require the trouble of reporting to Professor McGonagall or Professor Dumbledore. After Tang Sen said By the time he said this, the hourglass belonging to Gryffindor in the Great Hall had already accumulated five points.
This is one of the fixed spells of Hogwarts Castle.
Harry sat down excitedly. He rarely received extra points from professors for his performance in class. Hermione was basically responsible for this part of the extra points.
He could feel Professor Tang's kindness towards him, which made Harry feel very relaxed after being tortured in Snape's Potions class.
"Mr. Potter has briefly described coin divination for us. Now let me give a small demonstration." Tang Sen took out a gold galleons, looked around the classroom, and said: "Is there any student who is willing to provide a gold galleons?" Thoughts on divination?”
The classroom suddenly raised its arms in unison.
"I'm very pleased with everyone's positive attitude, but with so many people, it's really hard to choose." Tang Sen said with a smile: "Fortunately, as fortune tellers, we have our own methods when faced with choices."
"Everyone can put down their hands." He raised the gold coins in his hands and said, "As Mr. Potter said before, coin divination is a simple divination method. Most of the omens obtained through coins are only two kinds. It’s not applicable in many situations, but it’s just right now, for example——”
He read out his divination words:
"I should choose a male classmate."
"."
After seven times, Tang Sen tossed the gold coin and let the gold coin fall in his palm. He tilted his palm slightly so that the students could see the result of the gold coin toss.
"We can see that the results are the other way around."
"In other words, I shouldn't choose a male classmate."
The disappointed sighs and wails of the boys echoed in the classroom.
Tang Sen pressed his palm down to calm the boys down, and then continued: "It seems like a pure luck game, doesn't it? In fact, even I don't know who to choose, nor do I know who to choose. What kind of divination ideas will the classmates I choose come up with.”
"But divination will always give me the answer. In this way, I can find the best solution for me from the future."
"Of course, it should be noted that whether it is coin divination or pendulum divination, which is a divination method that requires obtaining answers from the future through a medium, our divination words cannot be questions. You should preset a result before you can get it. Enlightenment.”
Tang Sen read again: "I should choose the female classmates in the first three rows."
"."
After seven times, he tossed the gold coin and got a positive result.
"Obviously, we can eliminate redundant options bit by bit this way and finally get the results we want."
Tang Sen explained coin divination in detail while constantly tossing gold coins. After several times, he finally decided on the candidate. Of course, other students also knew who the divination predictions were, and their eyes were focused on the complexion. Hermione Granger's body was a little red due to excitement.
"Miss Granger, you may speak your mind."
Hermione stood up at Tang Sen's signal, took a deep breath, and said, "Professor Tang, I want to know. Can I become the Minister of Magic?"
Low laughter sounded in the classroom, which made Hermione's face turn redder.
Tang Sen also smiled kindly and said: "Miss Granger, I can understand your expectations for the future, but the divination may not be what you imagined."
"Soothsayers can indeed see the future, but the future is constantly changing. When I make a prediction, the future may change due to the influence of this prediction, especially in such a long-term future - affecting it The factors are too great.”
Tang Sen extended the topic and said: "Many people think that fate is a net, and that all people's actions are in the net of fate, impartial, but this is obviously impossible. Destiny is just a set direction. , but can be affected by other factors and deviate from the track, heading in a completely different direction."
"So, Miss Granger, even if I tell you now that you can become the Minister of Magic, this future may not come true. Sometimes it is not a good thing to know the result in advance."
After Tang Sen finished speaking, he joked: "Besides, our class can't verify things that are so far away."
He looked around at the students below and said seriously: "Everyone has a misunderstanding that the purpose of divination is to predict the future, but in fact, the role of divination is much more than that. It can not only see the future, but also the present. We are better able to search for the past. As long as we have media and information, we can do more things through divination than you think."
"For example, the divination staff can be used to find people, dream divination also has the ability to see pictures of what happened in the past, and astrolabe divination can even see the context of a person's experience."
Hermione thought for a moment and said, "I understand, Professor Tang."
She looked at Harry, took a deep breath, and said, "If possible, I hope to be able to divine a question about the past."
"Is that person who once left scars on Harry really resurrected?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the classroom suddenly became silent.
All the students closed their mouths and looked at her with fear and disbelief. The atmosphere suddenly became depressed.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the classroom: "Granger! How dare you!"
It was Malfoy. He stood up, pointed at Hermione with a trembling finger, and roared: "Everyone knows that this matter is just a lie by Harry Potter, and the Ministry of Magic has confirmed this view!"
"In that case, what are you afraid of?" Hermione looked at him bravely and said, "I believe that the answers derived from Professor Tang's divination must be more real than those written in the Daily Prophet!"
Malfoy was panting, and he shouted urgently: "I'm going to call Professor Umbridge! Granger, you have clearly violated Professor Umbridge's rules! She has said long ago that no one will be allowed to be here again." Bring this up at Hogwarts!"
"Then let her punish me."
Hermione said coldly, no longer paying attention to Malfoy, but looked at Tang Sen.
"Professor Tang, is this okay?"
