Chapter 528 Another Year of Death Prophecy

Next, Hagrid told Ivan a lot about cultivating fried-tailed snails.

They now need to figure out what snails like to eat, which is the main task of Care of Fantastic Creatures class this term.

In the morning class, Hagrid had everyone experiment with ant eggs, frog livers, and green snakes.

But it didn't seem right, the snails didn't like to eat these things, so Hagrid changed a few more varieties.

Aiwen couldn't help but suspect that this matter was meaningless, because these fried-tailed snails seemed to have no mouths at all.

After more than twenty minutes, the students gathered next to Hagrid's cabin one after another.

There is no doubt that for the little wizards of the third grade who came to the first protection of magical animals class in their lives with great expectations, after seeing these terrible snails, their hearts were so broken, their little faces were full of words. consternation and disappointment.

They repeatedly checked with Hagrid that he wasn't joking with everyone anymore? !

Last year's Hippogriff was a lot better than this one, even without the fun magical animals like Nifflers and Unicorns.

At the very least, everyone can ride them into the sky and go around the castle, which sounds very cool.

But facing these snails, the little wizard felt nothing but nausea.

Needless to say, this was the worst course of the year.

Colin accidentally burned his finger while feeding, and he never dared to approach these guys again.

Hagrid didn't notice everyone's dissatisfaction and complaints. Instead, he enthusiastically shared his new discovery with everyone, "Pay attention to the sharp points on these snails. I guess those thorny ones are males, and the females They have sucker-like things on their bellies. Yeah, I think they probably suck blood."

Yeah, in addition to being able to explode and bite people, these snails also suck blood, which is indeed a remarkable discovery.

Among all the little wizards, the only one who is happy may be Luna.

She seemed to think that these snails bred by Hagrid were very interesting, and asked a lot of detailed questions.

This made Hagrid very happy and gave Ravenclaw five points.

This class was taught by Gryffindor and Ravenclaw together. I haven't seen it for a holiday. Luna is the same as before, not much changed.

The girl's waist-length blond hair has grown a bit longer, and the ethereal aura that emanates from around her body from time to time is also stronger than before.

Although she is very beautiful, she is a rare beauty, but it is difficult for people to feel close to her.

Around Luna's neck she wore a necklace of butterbeer corks, and in her ears hung carrot earrings.

She brought Ivan the latest issue of "The Quibbler" and told him that there was the latest research on resisting monsters.

Luna didn't go to the World Cup this holiday, but followed her father to travel to Sweden with the money earned from publishing Ivan's articles in "The Quibbler", looking for the hairy-nosed monster along the way.

If there is only one person in the school who is indifferent to Ivan's tyrannical performance in the Quidditch World Cup, it is probably Luna.

She didn't seem to feel that there was anything surprising about this matter.

In his opinion, Ivan has always been strong, there is no doubt about this.

While waiting for the class to end, everyone returned to the castle with their tired bodies and heavy hearts.

Everyone is lucky to be free of those snails.

While having dinner, Hermione briefly talked to Ivan about her current progress in protecting the rights of house elves. She wrote an article calling on wizards to pay attention to the legal rights of elves and mailed it to Professor Lupine.

Then, she also told Ivan that she was going to actually do something for the house elves.

Before Ivan could figure out what was going on, she hurriedly finished dinner and went to the library to search for information.

As for Harry and Ron, they were in the same bad mood as third-year wizards in the shadow of the snails.

Not surprisingly, Professor Trelawney predicted Harry's death again.

This time, she said that when Harry was born, he was under the ominous influence of Saturn, so he was so unlucky.

She told everyone that the movement of the planets and the mysterious signs they show can only be understood by those who know the rules of the dance of the sky.

To put it simply, it is very reasonable to use planets to predict fate.

This sounds a bit like what the centaurs said, a sign from the sky.

According to the changes in the position of the stars, Professor Trelawney could see that the days ahead of Harry would be full of hardships, very difficult, and that what Harry feared would indeed come, and sooner than he imagined.

It made sense that Harry was worrying about Voldemort because of those dreams.

But if you think about it carefully, this kind of thing should be predictable without prediction. Professor Trelawney is simply scaring him.

They then spend hours filling out a complex circular chart.

They have to fill it in with their planetary positions at birth, which is tedious work.

It required a lot of tedious time and angle calculations, and in Harry and Ron's view, it was a waste of time.

As for the second day, the first Divination class of the third year, it was as bad as Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class.

The layout of the divination classroom was the same as Ivan remembered, the curtains were tightly drawn, and many lamps were lit in the circular room, all of which were covered with scarves and shawls, making the whole room shrouded in a hazy atmosphere. in the red light.

There was a familiar sweet smell from the fire, and the room was a mess of calico seats and futons.

Professor Trelawney asked everyone to drink tea, and then interpreted the tea leaves in everyone's teacups.

Although Ivan had already done it once last year when he was an auditor, but this year, Professor Trelawney unceremoniously predicted that Ivan would suffer disaster or even die, which is her favorite way to welcome new students Way.

Aiwen had already prepared for it, but others didn't know it.

Everyone looked at him strangely, as if Aiwen might fall down at any time.

This time the omen is not unknown, nor is it an acromantula, but a horse-shaped water monster.

God knows how Professor Trelawney saw this magical animal from Ivan's teacup.

It is said that the horse-shaped water monster can change into various shapes, but it most often appears in the form of a horse or a sea snake, with broad-leaved cattail grass as a mane, luring the unwary to ride on its back, and then Dive headlong into the bottom of a river or lake, gobble up people, and let their internal organs float to the surface.

The correct way to defeat a horse-shaped water monster is to put a bridle on its head with a placement spell, then it will become docile and obedient, and will no longer pose a threat to you, but don't let it go easily, it will hold a grudge and Curse you.

The world's largest horse-shaped monster was found in Loch Ness in Scotland.

To put it simply, because this kind of underwater creature monster is man-eating and particularly dangerous, the significance of its appearance in Aiwen's teacup is self-evident. Aiwen is likely to drown in the water. Or be eaten directly by monsters in the water.

Ai Wen didn't take this kind of nonsense prophecy to heart at all. He couldn't see where he could meet the horse-shaped water monster.

There is definitely no such thing in the water of Lake Hogwarts, and Ivan does not plan to go into Loch Ness.

After the baptism of the past year, he no longer cares about the contents of Professor Trelawney's usual predictions.

Because the divination classroom was very warm, Aiwen suddenly discovered that it seemed to be a good place to sleep. (To be continued.)
