Chapter 255
Why did Trelawney appear in this prophetic state?
Is it because of her ancestor Cassandra?
Legend has it that Trelawney’s ancestor Cassandra was once known as a prophet. Is this related to her adoptive father Gellert Grindelwald, or the prophetic eye of the Grindelwald family?
In her first year, the centaur Firenze, the future professor of divination at Hogwarts, also saw that she was different.
At the beginning, he knew that he was coming through the stars, and he was extremely confident in himself.
He even told me the prophecy of the centaurs.
Is this extraordinary wizard ability all inherited?
“It seems that I have to take some time to visit the centaur tribe.”
“I just don’t know if Firenze can take me in. It’s difficult to see the situation.”
“Otherwise, it’s impossible that he hasn’t shown up again.”
…
Principal’s office.
Trelawney was still sobbing.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Dumbledore was full of fear.
“Albus, just now in the Divination class, Sybil made a prophecy!”
“The state… is very strange, I have never seen it before!”
“It’s like being possessed by something.”
“Sybil herself doesn’t remember anything about the prophecy.”
“Don’t remember the content?” Dumbledore straightened his back.
His eyes were deep, as if he recalled something.
“What prophecy? Minerva?”
“Repeat it to me word for word.”
Professor McGonagall’s memory was pretty good. Even if Trelawney only said it once.
Or when she spoke without any warning, she could remember the content completely.
After listening to it, Dumbledore frowned.
“Did she suddenly say it when Mr. Grindelwald took the crystal ball?”
“What happened before that?”
“It seems that Sybil invited Mr. Grindelwald to do divination during class, and Mr. Grindelwald made a prophecy that was related to Sybil.”
The incident happened suddenly, and Professor McGonagall didn’t have time to understand everything, so she could only tell Dumbledore what she knew.
“I don’t know the details, but it seems to be a prophecy that Sybil will be expelled from Hogwarts, and she burst into tears at the door.”
“Sybil was frightened and ran out crying to find you.”
“I happened to meet me, comforted her for a while, and sent her back to the classroom.”
“But I felt that Sybil’s condition was not suitable for class for the time being, so I asked Mr. Grindelwald to put away the crystal ball first, and then Sybil suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person…”
“Wait, Minerva!” Dumbledore’s expression was serious.
“You mean, she made the prophecy after seeing Mr. Grindelwald put away the crystal ball?”
“That’s right.”
Dumbledore fell into deep thought.
When he interviewed Trelawney, a similar scene also occurred.
After communicating with Trelawney, he found that Trelawney did not inherit the talent of his ancestors and could only rely on pretentiousness to attract the attention of others.
After clearly expressing his refusal, Trelawney also collapsed, and suddenly started to predict during the comfort process.
Could it be that Trelawney would only behave like this when she was extremely sad and afraid?
If that was the case, maybe he could really try to kick her out of Hogwarts and try to get her to make a prophecy again.
But he could only keep this matter in his heart.
On the surface, he still comforted Trelawney very gently.
“Sybil, don’t worry, no one is going to kick you out.”
“You’ve been in Hogwarts for so many years. If they want to kick you out, why do they have to wait until now?”
“Really?” Trelawney’s mind was stagnant, and it wasn’t until now that it started to turn around.
After hearing Dumbledore’s assurance, he found that it seemed to be true.
“Of course, Hogwarts will never fire a professor without reason!”
Dumbledore didn’t finish his words, leaving some room for himself later.
If one day in the future, he really needs to use her prophetic ability, expulsion may not be a bad idea.
Trelawney obviously didn’t understand what Dumbledore meant.
I thought I got his assurance.
Wiping the tears from her face, she looked embarrassed.
“Principal Dumbledore, I… I…”
“It’s okay, Sibyl, everyone loses control of their emotions sometimes.” Dumbledore didn’t seem to care.
After comforting Trelawney with Professor McGonagall, the two officially got into the topic.
“Albus, what do you think about the prophecy?”
“It should be true. Her state when she predicted was exactly the same as when I interviewed her that year.”
Dumbledore said, motioning Professor McGonagall to sit down and talk.
Professor McGonagall’s expression changed.
She was just skeptical before, after all, she had never seen Trelawney.What will Trelawney be like during the interview? She has not made many reliable predictions in all these years.
If it weren’t for the fact that Trelawney’s condition was indeed not right, she might have sent him back to the office.
Dumbledore’s affirmation obviously exceeded her imagination!
“Who is she talking about? Sirius Black? Will he enter Hogwarts to kill people? Will he reunite with… that person?”
“I’m afraid so.” Dumbledore nodded with a heavy expression.
“Minerva, we must prepare for the worst.”
“The worst… plan…”
Professor McGonagall couldn’t imagine how Sirius could enter Hogwarts under the triple siege of saints, Aurors, and Hogwarts professors.
There was even a bloodbath in Hogwarts!
But the worst plan she understood seemed to be slightly different from what Dumbledore said.
“Yes, if Sybil’s prophecy is correct, that person… is likely to be resurrected!”
“That person!”
Professor McGonagall was so focused on the blood of innocent people that she almost forgot the last sentence.
If Sirius was a servant, who could be called the master?
Only Voldemort!
Recalling the ugly appearance of Voldemort leading the Death Eaters to do all kinds of evil in the British wizarding world, she couldn’t help but show a sad face.
After experiencing Grindelwald and Voldemort, she now has to endure Voldemort’s resurrection.
Professor McGonagall, who has reached retirement age, really feels tired.
She thinks of Sybil’s prophecy, Harry, the son of prophecy, and Argus.
She sighed quietly in her heart.
If only another ten years would pass, the younger generation of wizards would grow up by then.
With Argus’s talent, plus Harry.
She doesn’t need to worry about it anymore!
“During this period, Minerva, you must be on high alert and keep an eye on Harry.”
“If Sirius really sneaks into Hogwarts, Harry will definitely be his first target.”
Even Dumbledore couldn’t think of how Sirius could get into Hogwarts.
He could only ask Professor McGonagall to be on high alert.
“I will, but Sibyl’s prophecy has been heard by too many young wizards. Will it make Sirius wary?”
“The reason why prophecy is prophecy is that fate will take all kinds of unexpected ways to go to the path it has planned.”
Dumbledore looked deep into the distance.
It was as if he wanted to see through this wall and see a scene in a certain memory.
