Chapter 373 Death Prophecy
"Your cat?"
Katrina looked at the two people sitting there, then looked at the fat cat on the table, and knew whose cat it belonged to.
“Well, this is Tom.” Albert reached out to hold down the remaining dried fish on the table, picked up the wand and waved it, resealed the package of dried fish and stuffed it into his coat pocket.
“Silent spell?”
Katrina's expression was a little complicated. Albert's understatement of the repair spell just now undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to her.
She only started to learn silent spells when she was in the fifth grade. She also tried several simplest spells, but they all failed.
“No, I recited a spell.” Albert said with a smile, without admitting that he could cast a spell silently.
Katrina didn’t believe it. The guy in front of her liked to talk to fool others. Did he really think he was deaf?
"If you're done, don't take up your spot." She said, "Also, your cat should lose weight. I've never seen anyone's cat so fat. How can it catch mice?"
“Tom doesn’t need to be able to catch mice, he just needs to be cute.” Albert said with a smile. He gave his seat to Katrina, moved to the table that had just appeared in the corner, and started making new wizard cards. Since he wanted this new card game to become popular, he naturally needed to spend some time on it.
As for the materials and styles, he had collected and designed them during the summer vacation. Although he couldn't use magic at home, he couldn't do anything.
The back of the wizard card will be two crossed wands, plus a hat as the background. He originally planned to use W as the background, but considering that this is what the Ministry of Magic uses, Albert simply gave up. Changed into a beautiful wizard pointed hat.
However, considering that I plan to use the copy spell to promote it, there is no magic effect on it. Well, just ordinary Muggle cards.
The 1.1 version of Wizard Cards is much better than the handwritten version.
Of course, in order to paint a big picture for everyone, Albert still made his cards very exquisite and let them see what the wizard cards will look like in the future.
Everyone needs some dreams and expectations.
Albert put the cards into the box one by one to prevent Tom's claws from harming them.
“I feel like the divination class is rubbish!”
A voice came from the side. Albert turned his head and saw Katrina predicting this month's luck with the help of "Parting Through the Fog to See the Future".
Katrina was very anxious. She had already taken several classes but could not see the future of this class.
How to interpret tea leaves is a complete pile of rubbish.
There was no other way. Except for Albert, a guy who was suspected of being able to do divination, he could still talk nonsense with Professor Trelawney. Everyone else in the class had completely lost their previous curiosity and expectations for this course. They all understood. Why is Professor Trelawney considered a liar?
As for the homework, you can tell at a glance that it is all made up out of thin air?
Professor Trelawney liked to see people predicting bad things about themselves.
Then, most people’s homework is what bad things will happen to them this month.
Katrina is not a perfunctory person, so she really doesn’t like the divination class.
“Isobel, why don’t you give up this course?” Katrina asked her sister. She even doubted whether Isobel could learn anything useful from this course.
"The divination class is just like that. Although I can't do divination, I can still learn some of the most basic things." Isobel looked up at her sister and said lightly, "Divination requires talent. From the beginning, especially Professor Leelawney said so."
“Is anyone calling me?”
Albert's voice floated from not far away.
“I’m not calling you,” Katrina said angrily.
"I'm not deaf." Albert looked at Katrina meaningfully, "I heard everything just now."
"Well, I was just talking about why I chose this **** divination subject." Katrina said anxiously: "Maybe, I should throw them into the trash can, that's where they should go."
Albert glanced at Isobel, then looked at Katrina's parchment with few words written on it, raised his eyebrows and said: "You don't know enough about this subject, and you don't know its positioning. clear."
“Well, let me hear your advice, Mr. Great Prophet.”
"In my opinion, Professor Trelawney is just a low-level seer. I don't think she can even bear such a heavy term. At most, she is just a fortune teller in the Muggle world." Albert pulled. He sat down on a chair next to them and continued, "In the Muggle world, first-class diviners can usually predict something through some clues."
“For example, your mentality, habits, reactions, or even other things can be achieved by analyzing the answers from some trivial information, or by secretly giving you a psychological hint.”
"So, this is how you predicted that the previous Forbidden Forest was dangerous..." Katrina raised her eyebrows, but was interrupted by Isobel, motioning for Albert to continue.
"Those who think rigorously will not like so-called divination, unless they are real prophets. Wizards who can truly predict the future are highly respected." Albert glanced at Katrina, who was in an upset mood, and took his time. He continued: "I think Dumbledore is not very interested in Professor Trelawney's so-called divination prophecies, or our principal doesn't believe Professor Trelawney at all. In the eyes of Principal Dumbledore, Professor Trelawney may be a person who likes to brag and has no self-awareness.
“But why did Principal Dumbledore hire Professor Trelawney instead of choosing another wizard, or simply canceling the course.” Katrina asked the doubts in her heart.
“How much do you know about the surname Trelawny?”
"What?"
"Cassandra Trelawney is a well-known prophet." Isobel explained: "Professor Trelawney is probably related to that person, and the gift of prophecy is usually hereditary. Albert What he means is that Dumbledore cannot hire Professor Trelawney because of Cassandra Trelawney's reputation, unless she is really capable."
“That’s it.”
"I don't see what Professor Trelawney is really capable of." Katrina muttered. "She is not as good as Albert in terms of eloquence in deceiving others."
"Professor Trelawney must have made a prophecy to Dumbledore, and that prophecy came true." Albert pretended not to hear Katrina's words, "It's just that that person may not have much inheritance." The prophecy talent of the Trelawney family prevents her from making normal prophecies."
"You seem to be able to do that." Katrina muttered, "Maybe I should tell Professor Flitwick to give up the Divination class."
“You can drop Muggle studies altogether so that you have a normal homework schedule.” Isobel suggested kindly.
“Forget it, I’ve already learned everything, how can I give up!” Katrina hesitated for a moment, but was ready to persevere. She didn’t want to make herself a joke to others.
"At the end of the divination class, we will examine tea leaf divination, palmistry and crystal ball divination." Isobel stopped persuading and talked about the information she had collected. "Usually, as long as you learn the most basic knowledge well, you can at least If you can get a pass, the examiners don't expect you to be able to truly predict the future."
"Of course they have no hope. There are only a few wizards who can really predict the future." Albert made his voice sound like it was coming from a far away place. He was imitating Professor Trelawney's tone of voice: "So, You now understand why Professor Trelawney said that Divination is the most difficult of all magical arts. If you don't have 'Sight', then there is very little I can teach you in this regard. , books can only take you so far..."
“Can you really do divination?” Katrina asked her doubts again.
"If I said that Professor Dumbledore would die within ten years, would you believe it?" Albert suddenly said.
“Principal Dumbledore is already very old, okay, I know what you mean!” Katrina understood what Albert meant.
In fact, it is to predict something that may happen in a large circle. Even if it does not happen, it will not have any impact on Albert.
After all, there are still ten years, and I will probably have forgotten this matter by then. Moreover, this guy has never said that he can do divination, so you can't call him a liar.
“Okay, he’s a liar again.” Katrina finally understood Albert’s operation, “All prophecies are indeed lies.”
