Chapter 338 Explanation of Idealistic Divination

As third-grade wizards, they took the Defense Against the Dark Arts class for the first time and experienced Professor Lupine's teaching style for the first time. Everyone felt very satisfied.

After class this time, the little wizards rarely gathered together to discuss the content of the class.

"Did you see how I took down that female ghost?" Seamus yelled.

"And the severed hand." Another classmate, Dean, said.

Neville also straightened up this time and spoke loudly: "And Professor Snape dressed as my grandma!"

"There is also my mummy, I successfully subdued it!"

Another little wizard asked curiously: "Why is Professor Lupine afraid of crystal balls? Isn't the crystal ball a very common item to assist wizards?"

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows slightly, she also wanted to know this question.

The crystal ball can be used as a prophecy ball in the wizarding world.

A wizard with prophetic vision can project images of the future into a crystal ball.

In addition, the crystal ball also has the function of "seeing my true knowledge", which is the ability to see through the essence of things.

As a wizard, Professor Lupine should not be afraid of the crystal ball.

Lin Xia couldn't help but wonder, could it be that he had been frightened by the fable in the crystal ball, or...he himself was burdened with a frightening fable that he couldn't get rid of?

They had taken Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, and they were going to take Trelawny's classes right after.

This is their second class.

They still observed the tea leaves in the teacup. In addition, they also learned more things, such as some strange symbols and water stains.

The last time they poured out the water from the tea cup, they only observed the shape of the tea leaves in the cup.

So this time, their focus was to observe the water being poured out, and to throw the prepared tea cup water out in a specific posture.

Then, while the liquid has not evaporated, quickly observe the shapes formed by the water stains, and open the book to compare them one by one.

Strangely enough, after the water in Lin Xia's tea cup was poured out, two circular water stains formed on the table.

Others didn't understand what the two circles represented, but Lin Xia could tell at a glance that the two circles actually represented scales.

Maybe some people's characteristics are consistent like this.

When she was observing the tea leaves before, she felt that the shape of the tea leaves in the bottom of the teacup was the shape of a scale. Now when she poured the water out, it was still the shape of a scale.

It can be seen that her life trajectory, as well as her subsequent good and bad luck, are firmly tied to the balance, which makes Lin Xia have more thoughts.

Uncertain power is not your own power after all.

A man poured water out of a teacup, forming a water stain on a rabbit, with two long ears visible.

Professor Trelawney carefully observed the water in his teacup and analyzed it solemnly: "You have something related to a rabbit. It will undergo some changes in the near future. Combined with my previous predictions, you should think about it carefully."

Hermione couldn't help but raise her hand at this moment. She flipped through many pages, but couldn't find the meaning of the rabbit's water stain shape, and was very confused.

Trelawney ignored her.

Hermione simply stood up and said, "Professor, are you making random assumptions about others? Why is there no corresponding explanation in the book?"

Only then did Trelawny have to answer: "Not everything can be answered in textbooks, Hermione, the light in you is too weak and you can't see what I see.

Prophecy requires great talent. People without talent will only think that I am a fantasy. "

But to Hermione's ears, she just felt that Trelawny was deceiving the young wizard.

When there was clearly no answer, the little wizard was sent away with the words "No talent, you can't see it."

Hermione was a very rational witch, and she couldn't understand the way such energy worked.

Suddenly, an exclamation came from her ear, and Ron couldn't help but said loudly:

"Harry, the tea water you poured out formed a dog's water stain!"

The little wizard couldn't help but poke his head over.

In the last lesson, Trelawny said that there was an unknown person accompanying Harry, and that the big black dog was a messenger sent by the God of Death.

And the tea water poured out this time is also in the shape of a dog. Does it mean something?

Harry kept flipping through the textbook, trying to find the meaning of water stains forming a dog.

But as Hermione said, the shapes of water stains described in books are the most common, and there are no explanations for shapes such as dogs, cats, and rabbits.

While he was rummaging through the textbooks, Professor Trelawney had already walked beside him. This time, she didn't say a word, just stared at him silently with her watery eyes.

Harry felt that the way she looked at him was extremely pitiful, as if she were looking at someone who was about to die.

Trelawney was devastated because she could not prevent him from dying.

Harry was suddenly shocked and frightened by his own thoughts.

The other little wizards looked at Harry with some pity, as if they were looking at a dead man.

This made Hermione very dissatisfied and said loudly: "There is no explanation of water stains in dogs in the book. Professor Trelawney, do you want to say that this is a sign of death? You can't say anything other than this." Any other information?”

Trelawney stared at Harry and said murmuringly: "He has been looking for you. He knows that you are in Hogwarts. One day, he will still come in to find you. That is your choice." It's time.

Harry, do you want to die or be reborn? You have to make a choice eventually. "

Harry couldn't help but said: "Professor, I don't understand a word you said."

Without looking at him, Trelawney walked to another place to give instructions to other young wizards.

"Neville, you are in a good mood recently. Look at your water stain, it looks like a flower."

Neville smiled sheepishly.

Since taking the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, his fear of Professor Snape has been reduced a lot. He feels that even if Snape is standing in front of him in person now, he will not feel scared anymore.

However, the next second, Trelawney said: "Neville, you have to be careful about one thing, someone is watching you.

He was not honest with you, but you thought of him as a true friend. One day in the future, you will be betrayed by him. "

Neville tensed up and said tremblingly: "Professor, who is targeting me?"

Trelawney shook his head, put his hand in front of his mouth and shushed, lowering his voice slightly.

Neville subconsciously breathed softly.

"I don't know, and I can't reveal it. Alas, I saw a very vague black shadow. I only know that he has been staying by your side for a long time, and has been looking at you."

Trelawney turned to the other young wizards, as if he had said nothing.

But Neville felt the fear deeply.

After the Divination class, Neville said what Trelawney said to him, but Hermione questioned him.

"Could the shadow she was talking about be the night? Each of us has to be with the night every day!"

Hermione not only said it herself, but also specially roped in Lin Xia.

"Lin Xia, what do you think? You couldn't find an explanation for your own water stains in the divination class."

Lin Xia smiled: "Although I couldn't find it and the professor didn't help me interpret it, divination is a very spiritual thing, so I have interpreted it myself."

Hermione asked curiously: "What do you think it means?"

She had seen Lin Xia's water character, which was two circles, parallel and symmetrical to each other.

It was hard to imagine how the tea she threw could condense into such a shape. This completely deviated from her knowledge.

In the magical world of magic, anything is possible!

Lin Xia said: "Don't you think those two circles look like two big gold coins?

So I think the meaning of this tea is that I will be very rich in the recent period, and countless money is flowing towards me. "

Draco, Ron and Harry were all surprised, and even Hermione was surprised and said, "Can you still understand the meaning of water stains from this perspective?"

Lin Xia said: "Of course, not all divination is bad, right?

I can predict that the future will be dangerous, but I can also predict that the future will be smooth sailing, depending on how I understand it. "

Hermione's eyes flashed slightly, as if she understood something.

Come evening.

The little wizards in each college stayed in their own common room, either reading books or doing their homework with all their strength. Only a small number of them worked on another thing.

A little witch took out her usual water glass, spilled the entire glass of water on the ground, and then looked at Hermione cautiously.

"Hermione, can you see what this means?"

Hermione glanced at it and pretended to flip through the book. Seeing that she couldn't find the corresponding shape in the book, she simply left the book and observed it carefully.

"The upper left corner looks like a branch, and the lower right corner looks like a bird. This may indicate... that you will get a new pet recently. This pet is related to birds. She likes to live in trees very much."

The little witch went away very satisfied.

Needless to say, she really wanted to change a pet recently, and the pet she liked was exactly the same as Hermione described.

The owl is a bird that likes to be in trees.

The little witch left, and another little wizard quickly came up and threw the teacup in his hand boldly, without any precise gestures.

He looked at Hermione eagerly, "Hermione, can you observe anything?"

Hermione observed carefully, walking around the circle of water stains from left to right, and from right to left.

"I saw a lot of quill pens and a test paper, so many pens surrounding a test paper...

By the way, your recent grades will improve by leaps and bounds. Study hard and you will definitely do better in the next exam! "

The little wizard's eyes lit up, "Really? I only got a C last semester, which is a failure. My parents talked about it for a long time during the summer.

They said that if I get a C next time, I won’t be able to go out during the holidays and will have to stay at home and read. "

Hermione said: "Divination is just a type of prophecy. It does not mean that it will definitely happen, but there is a certain probability that it will happen.

If you listen carefully in every class from now on, I can guarantee that you will definitely get a B or above in the final exam.

But if you just rely on divination and think that you are sure to get C, then it is very likely that the divination will not be effective. "

The little wizard nodded crazily: "Okay, okay, I'm going to read a book now."

After the little wizard left, a new wizard came forward, surrounded Hermione and asked her to divine.

Harry and Ron were watching, dumbfounded.

Ron whispered: "Harry, what's wrong with Hermione?

Hasn't she always hated Professor Trelawney's Divination class? Why is she now actively fortune-telling the shape of water stains for others...

No, she was holding a water cup. How could it be the same tool as in Divination class?

Does the pattern obtained really have the meaning of allegorical divination?

And Hermione's analysis, she doesn't read books at all, why do I feel that she is a bit..."

Ron thought hard and finally thought of a word: "Making nonsense? "

Hermione has always believed that Professor Trelawney is a charlatan, but in Ron's eyes, Hermione now also feels like a charlatan.

If Lin Xia is here, she will know what Hermione is doing.

Fool, fool as much as possible, fool as many as you can!

Hermione played the "idealistic divination interpretation method" very clearly: I think this is a good thing, then it must be a good thing.

Even if the shape that cannot be stained is terrible, as long as you think it is a good thing, it is a good thing, unless you actively think of it as a bad thing.

This idealistic judgment method may lead to a big mistake in the divination result.

But the problem is that, except for Trelawney, few wizards can predict the shape of their own water stains.

So this leaves a lot of room for imagination for divination. Anyway, all of them are good things. Isn't this another kind of spiritual victory?

Harry looked at Hermione's analysis, stunned, and whispered: "At least Hermione is very happy now, isn't she? And she seems to have rekindled her passion for divination. "

Ron agreed, "She finally stopped saying bad things about Professor Trelawney!"

On the other side, in the Hufflepuff common room.

Lin Xia had just finished talking to Tom and came out of the golden wooden house. She transformed rows of long tables in the common room so that the little wizards of other grades could gather together to study.

Lin Xia was very good at Transfiguration. The tables and chairs she transformed were very beautiful, which made the little wizards of lower grades yearn for her.

A first-year little wizard boldly asked, "Senior Lin Xia, when I reach the third grade, can my Transfiguration become as good as yours?"

Lin Xia smiled lightly, her amber eyes were like autumn water, and she said affirmatively, "As long as you work hard enough, you can definitely do it."

After leaving the little wizard, Draco came to her and said, "You have been coming here to fool the little wizards recently. When they reach the third grade and find that the gap between you and them is so big, I don't know if they will despair."

Lin Xia did not comment, "Everyone has to plant a seed. Besides, hard work is useful. "

An owl suddenly flew in, scanned everyone, saw Lin Xia, and immediately changed direction, flying towards her accurately.

Lin Xia noticed that it had two letters in its mouth.

After opening the letter, Lin Xia's eyes were full of interest: "Draco, go find Dean Sprout, we will be busy again this weekend."

Draco was startled, then reacted and said excitedly: "All the journal submissions have been approved?"

Lin Xia nodded: "Approved, prepare to hold a press conference this weekend."

She paused, "This time, let's play something big." (End of this chapter)
