Chapter 399 The restored prophecy ball

Even Professor Trelawney, who truly has the third eye, can only see a possibility of the future. If something unexpected happens, the future direction will be changed and become unpredictable.

Therefore, rather than saying that prophecy is a prediction about the future, it is better to say that prophecy is a possibility of the future, not necessarily the one with the highest probability.

Perhaps he had been a silent person for too long, but Mr. Monks was not as taciturn as he thought. Seeing that the little wizards did not answer, he started talking to himself, "The so-called prophecy is the dawn of hope." Or the coming darkness.”

The little wizards all looked at him in surprise. What is this?

"Just like in 1753, a fortune teller made a very terrible prediction. He said that when the wizard duel competition was held at the Colosseum in Rome, the venue would collapse and many wizards would be affected." Mr. Silent Man pointed out. Pointing to the row of shelves next to him, "Row 42, third floor, the one on the inside."

The young wizards followed his guidance and looked over there, "The number of wizards was not that many to begin with. Although some arrangements were made in advance for the accident, many people were seriously injured and hospitalized. This prophecy is also known as the Ten The most accurate prophecy in the eighth century." The silent man glanced at the direction of the wooden frame, "Look, he predicted the coming darkness."

"As for the glimmer of hope..." The Silent Man paused, "It's the one that was stolen just now."

"That's a prophecy related to Harry." Ginny said quickly, "Will anything bad happen if someone takes it away?"

Mr. Silent Man thought for a while, "I can't say for sure. After all, no one would insist on using a prophecy ball to talk about things. I think the boy's condition is not right. It's just a glass ball with his name written on it. Is he Overreaction?"

Ginny said worriedly, "It's all my fault. I just realized in the elevator that Ron didn't tell Harry a lot of things. He must think that we all know those things, but he just didn't tell him. He felt very uneasy."

"There are so many things that Ron didn't tell Harry." Robert couldn't help complaining, "We all know it, but your brother protects people so well. It's not easy for anyone to get close to Harry. I can think of various ways to drive people away.”

Hermione coughed dryly, as if to remind Robert not to say such rude words in front of other people's sisters.

Robert also realized this and quickly changed the topic, "It seems that the task of educating Harry about the wizarding world will still fall on you. Ginny, I think he will not refuse the approach of a girl he likes. of."

Ginny nodded subconsciously, and then her face turned red, "Wha, what! Robert, what are you talking about!"

"Hey? Did I see it wrong? Don't you know that all men are handsome? Ginny, you are the school beauty among the freshmen! Do you know how many wizards are attracted to you?" Robert said in a joking tone Said, "Don't you like Harry?"

"Of course not!" Ginny shouted, and then saw a pair of gossipy eyes, "No, no, no, I didn't mean that I didn't like it... Oh, no, aren't we talking about prophecies?!"

She quickly turned to Mr. Silent Man for help, but he whispered, "Actually, I also like hearing this kind of gossip..."

Ginny felt a little desperate.

After being noisy for a while, the little wizards got closer to Mr. Silent Man, so they started asking curious questions.

"These glass beads shouldn't be prophecy balls, right?" Hermione asked again, "Is there anything special about the prophecy balls?"

"In fact, it is very different from ordinary glass balls." Mr. Silent Man said, "Generally speaking, apart from us staff, only you can find and take away the prophecy ball."

Ginny asked, "But that person just got the prophecy ball." As she said that, she looked at Robert, "You also made him break an arm, didn't you?"

"Well done, boy." Mr. Silent Man gave Robert a hammer. "We staff are not allowed to take away the prophecy ball. After all, it is not just a ball. What is important is the prophecy inside. Whoever takes away the prophecy ball I've already reported the guy who shot the ball, and there should be Aurors chasing him."

"So the prophecy ball can be recovered?" Ginny showed a happy expression.

Mr. Silent Man hesitated for a moment, then said, "This..."

He didn't know whether he should tell these children that Voldemort had returned.

So he could only change the subject stiffly, "Look, these are just ordinary glass balls. The secret that makes them extraordinary is...these cabinets." The silent man waved the magic wand in his hand, and the wooden frames that had fallen to the ground returned. He stood up and said, "Watch it."

As he spoke, he put a glass bead into a label holder. After about a few minutes, when the little wizards were a little confused about what he wanted everyone to see, a white smoke rose from the bottom of the glass bead. , the entire prophecy ball became radiant, and white smoke circulated in the glass ball, like a floating cloud.

The little wizards' eyes widened, and then they said with some disappointment, "It seems like there's nothing..."

The Silent Man hummed with some dissatisfaction, "You ignorant brats, listen up, that lump of fluff here is actually human memory."

"Legilimency?" Hermione became interested, "This thing... wait, why does it look like Neville's memory ball?"

"What? Memory ball?" The silent man was stunned, and then suddenly realized, "That thing is actually the earliest batch of prophecy balls. Because the quality was not up to standard, it was placed in the warehouse. They took that thing out to make extra money. Yes? But the memory ball shouldn’t have the function of Legilimency.”

"..." Robert looked at the silent man speechlessly. Neville would cry if he heard this. His precious memory ball was actually a defective product?

Speaking of which, the prophecy ball is indeed an interesting little thing. Unlike the memory crystal ball designed by Robert for Neville, this thing is mainly used to store a memory, which can be stored for a long time if there is no external force to destroy it.

Of course, what is even more magical is the cabinet used to store the prophecy ball. It is like a computer, copying each piece of memory in its own body. When needed, it can fill the prophecy ball with the backup memory, which ensures that the prophecy will not be lost. will be destroyed.

In other words, there is no risk of losing the prophecy ball that was taken away, except that it will be seen by others?

I just don’t know who saw the prophecy in that ball in the end.

Robert thought with some worry that he would rather believe that this was a test from the principal than dare to think about another possibility.
