Chapter 218
“Argus, you were Professor Slughorn’s assistant. I know you were very popular with the young wizards.”
“Help me think about how I should introduce this cute little guy to the young wizards.”
Hagrid asked Argus excitedly while rubbing Buckbeak’s neck.
“Hagrid, I think you can refer to the magical creatures classification of the Ministry of Magic.” Argus didn’t want to dampen Hagrid’s enthusiasm.
But he didn’t want him to get into trouble.
After all, in the original book, Buckbeak almost slapped Draco to death.
Although Draco has changed a lot compared to the original book, other students may not be able to avoid trouble.
There must be fools in a crowd!
This is a wise saying!
“For most of the young wizards in Hogwarts, the Hippogriff is still too dangerous.”
“Once something dangerous happens, it will not only affect you, but also Hogwarts.”
“If possible, I suggest you choose some magical animals that are relatively mild, not dangerous, and look cute.”
“Really…”
Hagrid was a little disappointed.
But what Argus said made sense. Compared with introducing his beloved Buckbeak, the safety of the young wizards was more important.
“Hagrid, the difficulty of the course should be advanced little by little.”
“For the young wizards who have just come into contact with magical zoology, Buckbeak is indeed too dangerous.”
“But as they study in depth, there may be opportunities to introduce it in the future.”
Argus didn’t want to directly extinguish Hagrid’s enthusiasm, so he spoke to comfort him.
“You’re right, Argus!” Hagrid rekindled his passion.
After thinking carefully, he said, “I think I know what to say!”
“I have to go to the Forbidden Forest to look for them. Those little guys can’t be found at any time!”
Hagrid took Fang to the Forbidden Forest after saying that, completely forgetting that Argus was still there.
Argus had long been accustomed to Hagrid’s impetuous style and didn’t care about Hagrid’s departure.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he prepared to go to the classroom and start his first class in the third grade.
…
“Children, welcome to the Divination Class.”
“Here, you will explore the sacred knowledge of divination.”
“Here, you will find out whether you have vision!”
Sybill Trelawney’s ups and downs voice echoed in the Divination Classroom.
Unlike ordinary classrooms, the Divination Classroom is a circular layout similar to a square.
It gradually gets lower from the door to the podium to ensure that every student can see Trelawney’s story.
Trelawney wore large black-framed glasses, and his dancing behavior looked very much like the shaman trickster that Argus had seen in his previous life.
“Hello everyone, I’m Professor Trelawney.”
“Today, I will lead you into the future!”
“This semester, our learning content is to read tea, predict the future from the residue of tea leaves!”
Tea? Predict the future?
Agus looked at the teacup in front of him, and he didn’t feel that the two could be connected.
If it were anything else, he might not be very good at it.
But in terms of prophecy!
He has the same prophetic eye as his adoptive father, so he definitely has the right to speak.
If it weren’t for Agus’s young age, resulting in insufficient magic power.
This talent would have been developed long ago.
“Now, please pick up the cup of your classmate opposite you!”
Agus looked at Draco sitting opposite him, and picked up each other’s teacups according to Trelawney’s words.
After looking for a long time, he didn’t feel anything.
He immediately realized that Trelawney’s so-called teacup prophecy was a trick!
His divination talent had been maxed out long ago. If the teacup prophecy was really effective, he should be able to feel the guidance of fate at a glance.
Looking at Draco who was holding the cup and examining it carefully, Argus joked.
“How is it? Did you see my destiny?”
Draco raised his head with a serious face.
“I saw it!”
“I saw it?” Argus waited to hear Draco’s nonsense with interest.
“I saw that you can get the first place in the whole grade!”
“You are quite accurate!”
Hogwarts will start to have elective courses in the third year. Originally, Argus did not intend to waste time on divination, arithmetic divination, and Muggle Studies.
His Eye of Prophecy is the best divination method.
As for Muggle Studies… Looking at the people wearing strange clothes at King’s Cross Station every year, you can know the current situation of wizards’ understanding of Muggles.
It is estimated that the so-called Muggle Studies class is not as good as students from Muggle families.
But thinking that if these subjects are put aside, it may not be possible to get the first place in the final exam of this school year, and the achievement points awarded by the system will not be obtained.
Lost a chance to draw a lottery in vain!
This is what I didMake the same choice as Hermione and Percy.
Last night, before returning to the Slytherin common room, Snape threw him an hourglass and taught him how to use it.
Let him use it carefully.
“The truth of the future is hidden in the tea leaves, just like the words in the book, waiting to be interpreted!”
“But first, you have to broaden your mind!”
“First, look far ahead!”
Professor Trelawney waved her arms mysteriously, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she felt something wonderful.
The tied curly hair swayed back and forth with the shaking of her head.
Suddenly, she saw Seamus and Dean who were picking tea leaves at each other.
Suddenly said to Seamus.
“Child, is your father okay?”
Seamus was confused: “Very well? What’s wrong?”
“I don’t believe it, give me the cup!”
Professor Trelawney grabbed the cup in Seamus’s confused expression.
He took the cup and took a look.
He shook his head.
“What a pity!”
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Seamus to keep looking at the cup in his hand.
Dean raised his hand and spoke weakly.
“That… Professor… The cup you just looked at seems to be mine.”
A burst of snickers suddenly sounded at the scene.
Even Draco could see that Professor Trelawney seemed a little unreliable.
He leaned gently into Argus’s ear and said, “Why do I feel that Professor Trelawney is a bit like a liar?”
“He won’t be like Lockhart last year, who was… tricked into coming in?”
“No, it’s not that easy to become a professor at Hogwarts.”
Others, Argus, may still have some doubts, but Trelawney won’t!
It can even be said that she is one of the most critical figures in the Harry Potter world!
The prediction she made when she interviewed the Hogwarts professor runs through the entire timeline.
Before Argus finished speaking, Trelawney turned her spearhead on Harry and Ron again.
“You’re nervous, dear.”
“Did you see the future?”
“I think you did!”
Seeing that everyone around him was looking at him, Ron nodded.
“Yes, I saw the future!”
Trelawney was also excited: “Look at the cup and tell me what you see!”
“Okay!”
Ron didn’t see any prophecy.
Just now he was just trying to show off, but Trelawney’s words had already put him on the stove, forcing him to go all the way.
He stared at the cup hard, flipping through the textbook while stammering.
“There is a crooked cross in the teacup, which means that Harry will encounter suffering and trials.”
“It may also be the sun, representing… uh… happiness!”
“So…” Ron looked at Harry.
“You will experience suffering, but you have to bear it with a smile.”
“Give me the cup, kid.”
The moment Trelawney took Ron’s cup, he seemed to be scalded by the cup.
He let out a shrill scream.
His hands loosened and he dropped the cup to the ground.
