Chapter 145 Elective Courses

Although Summers did not agree with Robert's disdain for divination, he was more interested in Robert's news.

"So, she is an unreliable fortune teller?" Summers' eyes widened, confusion written on his face, "Then how did she become a professor?"

"Sybill Trelawney, our divination professor, is said to be a descendant of Cassandra Trelawney. In fact, as long as Trelawney is mentioned, you should know that she is a A real fortune teller." Robert pointed to the class schedule, "It can be said that this is a very, very powerful fortune teller, for those who know her well."

Summers' eyes became brighter, and he seemed to be thinking about how he could learn two-handed divination from Professor Trelawney.

Immediately, he saw his friend spreading his hands, "But she can't teach you anything, man."

Summers glared, "How is that possible? According to what you said, she is a real fortune teller."

"Oh, this is actually a characteristic of the Trelawny family." Robert took out an old book, which he bought from a second-hand bookstore. It was a book about famous fortune-tellers. Because the book was thick and highly academic, The price is not cheap either.

After rummaging through it, Robert found Trelawney's information, "Legend has it that the Trelawney family has been cursed by the Sun God. They will tell prophecies under any circumstances. The biggest feature of these prophecies is that no one will tell them after they tell them. I believe it, but when everything happens, people may not remember this prophecy. This strange characteristic makes the situation of this divination family a bit embarrassing.

"The author doesn't know the reason for the existence of this characteristic. The only thing we can know at the moment is that the Trelawny family's divination skills need to be used in conjunction with the 'Celestial Eye'. This is why they cannot teach other people divination skills."

"That sounds just like betting on horses." Mr. Honey Badger looked up and said, "You can bet on several horses. Anyway, one of them will be the winner, right?"

"Prophecy is not gambling." Summers glared at him, "This is a very powerful subject."

Mr. Honey Badger gave him a roll of his eyes and continued to write his summer homework with his head down, "You'd better get your homework out quickly, otherwise what you will be writing about tomorrow morning will not be the origin of the goblin rebellion, but the research on the goblin rebellion." .”

Summers ignored him, his eyes fixed on the cover of the book in Robert's hand, which read "The Diviner: The One Who Clears the Fog or the One Who Clears the Fog".

"That's a strange title," Summers whispered. "Where did you get this book?"

"A second-hand bookstore, right in Diagon Alley." Robert raised the corner of his mouth, "I found it with great difficulty."

"What's the name of the store?" Summers couldn't help but reach out and flip through it. "This book looks really old, and the store owner is actually willing to sell it?"

"Um, what's it called..." Robert was stunned, and it took him a long time to dig out the store from the depths of his memory, "Book Tomb."

"The tomb of books?" Summers lamented, "Then what are we, archaeologists of books?"

Robert shrugged, "It makes sense. I saw a lot of out-of-print books inside. If you have time, I must go shopping more."

Summers became even more interested, "Remember to take me with you next time!"

"No problem!" Robert agreed, "By the way, why do you want to take Muggle Studies as an elective?"

Summers lowered his head and looked at his class schedule, "Well, you know, we have always looked at wizards from the perspective of Muggles, so if we look at Muggles from the perspective of wizards, can we improve the skills of wizards? Muggle connection?"

"so what?"

Summers sighed, "You know, my mother is a Muggle. For her, my father abandoned his job and tried his best to integrate into the life of Muggles. If he could be more understanding before, If you understand Muggles, you won't be regarded as a lunatic for more than ten years."

I can’t even imagine what your dad has been through!

"I must let more wizards know what Muggle life is like, so that they will not make all kinds of ridiculous mistakes when integrating into Muggle life!" Summers said with confidence, "You have to You know, when I was little, my dad often said to the dinner plate that food can appear on the plate by itself. I always thought he was joking with me. It wasn’t until I came to Hogwarts that I realized that the food on the dinner plate can really change. Bring out the food.”

"After you enter school, can your father's wand be used?" Robert asked curiously, "I seem to have heard that in a family like yours, the wizard's side must seal the wand in the Ministry of Magic."

Summers nodded, "That's right. Dad got his wand back and will teach me some knowledge about magic during the summer vacation."

"Okay, man." Robert patted his shoulder. An idea appeared in his mind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

But he didn't care, he would always think of it.

"By the way, Robert, what class did you choose?" Mr. Honey Badger finished his homework and came over to join the conversation, "I chose Care of Magical Creatures and Arithmancy."

Robert looked at Mr. Honey Badger with surprised eyes. I didn't expect that your boy would have such courage and choose arithmetic divination?

"I have chosen everything except Divination and Muggle Studies." Robert showed him his class schedule. "Do you want to be a Curse Breaker in the future?"

Mr. Honey Badger scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "That's true. I heard that this is a very interesting career. I'm still working hard at it."

"Then you'd better learn some ancient magic texts and be good at it." Robert put forward his own suggestion. "The most important job of the Curse Breaker is to explore the ancient ruins and bring back the treasures."

Summers raised his head, "Stebbins, are you really going to become an archaeologist?"

Mr. Honey Badger scratched his head, "Archaeologist?"

"It's what Muggles call a Curse Breaker. It's a bit dangerous but exciting job." Robert pinched his chin, thoughtfully, "As the spiritual world continues to open up in the future, Maybe Curse Breaker will really be a very popular profession."

Mr. Honey Badger looked longingly.

"You can go find the twins. Their brother Bill is a curse-breaker." Robert continued to make suggestions. "Bill is a smart man. Although he has only worked for a few years, he will definitely be able to give you some pertinent suggestions for your studies. suggestion."

Mr. Honey Badger kept nodding, "Okay, I'll ask the twins tomorrow to see if I can get Brother Bill's address."

"Then you need a stronger owl. Bill is in Egypt now." Robert put away the books on the table, "I'm going to go back to bed. The first day of school is tomorrow, so don't be late."
