Chapter 254: The Big Liar and the True Prophecy
The next day, divination class.
Professor Trelawney was still dressed like a charlatan.
He held a crystal ball and placed it on everyone's table.
He shouted loudly in a mysterious tone.
"Broaden your horizons! Keep a long-term vision!"
"The key to crystal ball divination is to clarify your third eye!"
Compared to tea leaves, crystal balls are a little more reliable.
At least Argus had read about it when he was a child when he was brushing achievement points and reading books.
There is indeed prophecy magic using crystal balls in the magic world.
I just don't know if the third eye she mentioned is related to my own prophetic eye.
Because they talked too late last night, Ron supported his chin with one hand and fell into a state of half-sleep.
On the contrary, Harry kept staring at the crystal ball, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Only by clarifying your third eye can you see the real future!"
"Try again!"
"Now... what do you see?"
Professor Trelawney suddenly approached Harry and the others, waking up the two people who had not listened to the class at all.
"I...I...uh..."
Looking at the two stuttering, Professor Trelawney pretended to be shocked.
"Alas, two more little wizards without talent."
"Mr. Grindelwald, what did you see?"
Professor Trelawney placed his hopes on Argus, an excellent student who ranked at the top in all subjects.
He asked with expectation.
After the torture of the original book and several classes, Argus had figured out Professor Trelawney's routine.
He pretended to think and looked at the crystal ball carefully for a while.
He looked at Professor Trelawney cautiously.
"Professor, I saw...unknown!"
"I saw you being driven out of Hogwarts Castle!"
"I saw your luggage thrown at the door, and a group of students watched, but no one dared to speak."
"In the end, you fell alone at the castle gate and cried loudly!"
Trelawney's expression froze.
She likes to predict other people's unknown ominous things, but doesn't want to hear others talk about herself.
But Argus's expression doesn't seem to be joking, combined with Argus's excellent performance in other classes.
There is no doubt that she panicked.
She was worried that what Argus saw was true, and one day in the future, she would really be kicked out of Hogwarts.
Trelawney knew her own weight very well.
If she left Hogwarts, she might even have trouble living.
Fear, helplessness, sadness!
With the blessing of several emotions, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears!
"No, they can't kick me out of Hogwarts!"
"I'm going to find Principal Dumbledore!"
"He can't do that!"
As he said that, he ran out of the classroom without caring about the large group of confused students in the classroom.
A group of little wizards were stunned.
What kind of operation is this?
You are the professor of Divination! But you were broken by a prophecy of a student!
So we have to comfort you when we listen to your class!
There is no such professor!
"Argus, you..."
Draco looked at Argus with awe.
This is the first student who can make the professor cry. Looking at the entire history of Hogwarts, I'm afraid there is only this one!
Even Argus himself felt incredible.
After a while, Professor McGonagall personally supported Professor Trelawney into the classroom.
She glanced at Argus with a reproachful look.
She stopped Trelawney and whispered comfort.
She really didn't like Professor Trelawney. To be precise, she, like Hermione, didn't like anything inaccurate.
For example... divination!
But as the dean and professor of Hogwarts, she had to maintain order in the school.
Soothing the professor's emotions also belonged to the ranks of maintaining order.
Professor McGonagall comforted Trelawney for a long time before calming down.
She sobbed and hugged Professor McGonagall's arm.
"Minerva, he can't do this!"
"He can't expel me!"
"I know that Headmaster Dumbledore will not expel any professor without reason."
Professor McGonagall didn't dare to say it.
If it were other little wizards, she might still persuade Trelawney that what the other party said might not be true.
But it was Argus who made the prophecy!
She had personally experienced Grindelwald's gift of prophecy!
According to her understanding, Argus also has this prophetic ability!
Even without mentioning Argus's talent, his performance in other classes is enough to attract Professor McGonagall's attention.
Fortunately, Trelawney did not hear the hidden meaning of Professor McGonagall.
She thought Professor McGonagall was on her side, wiped the tears from her face, and rubbed Professor McGonagall all over.
This made Professor McGonagall's eyelids twitch wildly.
"I knew you would stand on my side, Minerva!"
"Woo woo woo..."
Professor McGonagall shook her head helplessly.
It seems that Trelawney will not be able to attend class today.
She looked at Argus and signaled Argus to organize students to study on their own.
Argus understood what Professor McGonagall meant and asked the students to put the crystal ball back.
Just as Harry picked up the crystal ball and was about to put it back in the lesson plan.
Professor Trelawney's eyes suddenly widened!
The whole person stood up strangely.
Professor McGonagall was startled!
"He will be back soon!"
"The murderer who deceived his friends and killed countless people will break free from the last shackles!"
Trelawney fell into a strange state, his voice was hoarse, and his eyes were fixed on the crystal ball.
It looked very scary.
"The blood of innocent people is flowing, and the master and servant will meet again!!!"
"Cough cough cough..."
After saying the last sentence, Trelawney coughed violently.
Then he looked at Professor McGonagall with a confused face.
"Minerva, what's wrong with you?"
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Countless little wizards looked at Harry and Trelawney with horror.
A few timid ones didn't hold it firmly and smashed the crystal ball to the ground.
Professor McGonagall's expression gradually became serious.
Harry's face was full of fear.
He stumbled back until he retreated to the table, then suddenly woke up and stopped.
"Sybil, Mr. Potter, follow me to the principal's office immediately!"
"Mr. Grindelwald, keep an eye on the classroom. The little wizards in the classroom should do their homework first."
"The subsequent classes will be arranged after I and Principal Dumbledore come back!"
After Professor McGonagall finished speaking, she hurriedly took Trelawney to Dumbledore's office.
As the protagonist of the incident, Harry could only follow blankly.
The little wizards around had experienced too many shocks in a short period of time, and their hearts were filled with fear.
I had no idea what to do.
At this moment, Argus stood up.
"Don't panic! Remember, this is Hogwarts!"
"We have the principal, the dean, and the professors!"
"When the Death Eaters were at their most rampant, they couldn't break through the defense of Hogwarts, let alone now!"
"The prophecy is just a prophecy, not reality!"
"Please believe in Hogwarts."
Under Argus's comfort, everyone gradually quieted down.
Argus thought about Trelawney's strange state just now...
