Chapter 767: Old Bitch Deng 1 Must Have a Deep Meaning
Divination was the last exam of the morning, and there were Herbal Charms and History of Magic in the afternoon.
There are several elective courses tomorrow, including Care of Magical Creatures. The two who have chosen all the courses will take all the exams without missing a single one.
Before heading to the Great Hall for lunch, Vincent felt it necessary to tell Dumbledore about the prophecy.
"Hermione, do you want to come?"
She shook her head. "I'll wait for you in the auditorium."
Being able to suppress her strong curiosity, she has really changed a lot.
He didn't even ask about the content of the prophecy. If it was "last year" when I was in second grade, I would at least hint at it, if not get to the bottom of it.
People grow up and become more mature.
Vincent came down from the north tower alone and walked quickly to the corridor on the eighth floor leading to the gargoyles.
No password is required, the door opens automatically.
Go up the spiral staircase and knock on the door before entering the office.
"come in."
Vincent walked into the principal's office.
Dumbledore actually had a guest, old man Newt, whom he had just met yesterday.
"Hello, Mr. Scamander."
Newt nodded at him, "Looks like I need to step aside for a while."
Dumbledore saw Vincent's serious expression and knew that it must be something important.
"Newt, let's talk about this another time."
As soon as old man Newt left the principal's office, Vincent immediately took out his wand, closed the door, and completely isolated the surrounding space.
"Oh - this is quite advanced magic." Dumbledore smiled at him. "It seems that you have made great progress this year."
Vincent sat opposite him and went straight to the point without replying: "Professor Trelawney has a new prophecy."
The smile on Dumbledore's face disappeared instantly. "About whom?"
"Voldemort and his two servants."
The most loyal servant will be helped by another servant to break free from the chains that bind him.
And Voldemort will return with the help of his two servants, more powerful and more terrifying than before.
Vincent did not utter the second half of the prophecy.
This is his own business and he doesn't want anyone to interfere.
Dumbledore was silent for a long time. "Does anyone else know?"
"Hermione guessed it, but she didn't know what the prophecy was about."
The other servant had no clue, and the most loyal servant, still in chains...
The ones on the top floor of Azkaban?
Dumbledore's expression became more serious. "Thank you for your information. I think I may be very busy recently."
Not only do they have to look for clues about the Horcruxes, but they also have to pay attention to Harry's condition, and now they have to be wary of Voldemort's two servants.
Compared to these, the Ministry of Magic's previous interference in Hogwarts is simply not worth mentioning.
Having said that, Vincent felt it was time to leave.
But just as he stood up, Dumbledore called him.
"Vincent, you are an adult, right?"
"Hmm?" Puzzled, Vincent looked down at his watch.
1998 6 Month 7 Day.
The time added by the Time-Turner is exactly four years.
Vincent's face was full of vigilance. "Professor, I'm still more than a month away from becoming an adult."
Dumbledore smiled without saying anything, which made him feel uneasy.
This old bastard Deng is definitely going to plot against him again!
"Professor, I'll leave now if I'm fine."
After saying this, he disappeared like a gust of wind.
Dumbledore shook his head. "This is a very good thing."
……

hall,
Vincent, looking unhappy, sat down at the Gryffindor table.
First came Trelawney's prophecy, and then Dumbledore's calculations, and all the good mood of the whole day was gone.
No matter how delicious the lunch was, he couldn't taste a thing.
Even though the dessert was a scone that was so sweet that it was cloying after just a small bite, he didn't taste anything special in each bite.
Neville next to him thought that there wasn't enough sugar in the scones today. After taking a big bite, he was so sweet that he quickly drank half a bowl of clam bacon soup.
James and Alfred finally noticed something was wrong.
"Lao Wen, what's wrong with you? Is it because of the old liar?"
"That's it."
The whole dormitory spoke the truth during the divination test. I guess Vincent was unhappy because he didn't get a good grade.
James shook his head and sighed, "I really don't understand the world of you academic masters. It's just that you failed a Divination subject. Neville and I both failed two subjects."
If Lupin hadn't been such a good person and given everyone an "O", I'm afraid I would have only passed one of the four exams in the morning, Transfiguration.
"Sigh..." Vincent also sighed.
Sometimes he really envied his poor academic roommate.
Live a relaxed and comfortable life, do whatever you want, and only worry about grades at the end of the semester.
"Why are you sighing?" Hermione came over.
James and Alfred kept winking at Neville.
Seeing that he was stunned, the two of them simply pulled him up.
"Lao Wen, let's go to the greenhouse first."
When Neville was dragged away, he was still staring at the scone he had only taken a bite of, "James, Alfred, I'm not full yet."
"You won't be able to eat anything if you stay here any longer."
Even without the dog food, the looks from those girls alone were enough to make one cringe.
Hermione sat down, "Didn't you already tell Professor Dumbledore about the prophecy? What is there to worry about?"
“Actually…” Vincent paused.
It’s not that I don’t trust her, but the second half of the prophecy is too terrifying.
Even Voldemort can only be a false Dark Lord, so what will he, the real Dark Lord, face then?
If the prophecy comes true, all his relatives and friends will definitely be closely watched.
"Actually, I'm not worried about the prophecy. I'm worried about why Professor Dumbledore specifically asked me if I was an adult."
"Hmm..." Hermione lowered her head in thought.
Is there anything in the wizarding world that requires one to be an adult?
She suddenly blushed and shook her head violently.
"Uh... Could it be that he saw that you were too leisurely recently, so he asked this question on purpose to make you feel troubled?"
"Ah?" Vincent shuddered subconsciously.
Even though Dumbledore was just an old idiot in his mind, he wasn't that boring.
Just like suggesting that he take all the courses last semester, since I asked this question specifically, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.
Vincent let out a long sigh, "Never mind, I'll know sooner or later anyway."
The same is true for prophecy.
It's not in his character to tie himself up in knots.
Instead of scratching your head here alone, it is better to take action and be fully prepared.
The corners of Hermione's mouth lifted slightly.
This was the Vincent she knew.
No matter what problems or difficulties he encounters, he can always maintain an optimistic and positive attitude and come up with solutions.
The sense of security is so strong that people can't help but want to rely on it.
"The herbal exam is about to begin." Vincent's eyes left his watch. "Let's go."
Hermione ignored the hostile looks from the girls and walked quickly out of the hall with him.
