Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 120 Tea Leaf Divination

"Finally I see you in the material world!"

The vague voice in the shadow was ethereal and uncertain.

Professor Trelawney walked into the firelight, and everyone could see her appearance clearly. The most impressive thing about her thin figure was her thick glasses.

These glasses magnified her eyes several times.

A shawl covered with metallic sequins was draped over her thin shoulders, and her slender neck was hung with strings of beads and a chain of unknown material.

From arms to hands, there are many bracelets and rings.

"Sit down, my children, sit down!"

She seated herself in an easy chair in front of the fire and introduced herself, "I'm Professor Trelawney."

Everyone followed her instructions and chose their favorite seats to sit down, some sat on cushions, and some sat on chairs.

The three people in Sainz's dormitory sat around a small round table.

Professor Trelawney continued in her slurred, limp voice: “I am glad to see you in the material world, but I must say that you have chosen a difficult path.

Yes, there may be plenty of wizards who can wreak havoc with bang-bang, or disappear from one place and reappear the other way, but they can't see into the future."

"Oh! This noisy world!" Professor Trelawney suddenly looked troubled and said hazily, "Ah... Living in this noisy and chaotic campus all the time makes my third eye blurry!"

No one commented on her sudden nervousness.

She continued, "Where was I going, right...you chose this course, you chose a difficult path, this is the most difficult subject in all of magic.

This is a profound skill that requires a lifetime of exploration.

I can try to guide you to find your own spiritual realm, but I must warn you in advance that if you don’t have enough insight, I can’t help you. "

As she was speaking, her eyes suddenly opened wide. The eyes behind the glasses were frighteningly large, like a giant beetle.

She turned to Sainz and said, "This is a gift that only a few people have. You, child, what do you see?"

In his heart, Sainz had no special feelings towards her pretense of being profound. From the original trajectory, it could be seen that the other party did have something, but it didn't work when it malfunctioned. When she was conscious, that is, when it didn't work, she played some mysterious tricks, which was what every prophet would do.

He said cooperatively: "Professor, forgive my slowness, but I don't see any future. Please guide me!"

Trelawney was very satisfied with this answer. She fumbled with the beads on her neck, as if trying to figure something out. She looked up at the ceiling, then lowered her head and said, "Very good, you have great potential. I look forward to you catching up..."

She turned to Gulila Anfensen and said, "If I were you, I would hide my thoughts in the deepest place."

And to Carrie Quintana: "You don't stand a chance!"

The two people who were called by the professor looked at her in surprise, flustered and not knowing what they had said wrong, but Carrie's whole face turned red and there were even tears in her eyes.

Trelawney paid no attention to their distress and continued to walk through the crowd, shrinking back from anyone he made eye contact with, until he finally said to Florence Syberphia, "Are you all right? You don't have to worry. It won't happen."

The girl raised her hands and tidied her long brown-red hair, revealing her smooth and full forehead that looked like a bright moon. She met the professor's gaze with a calm expression: "Professor, I don't have anything to worry about."

"Oh... Really... Don't admit it... It's okay... It's okay..." The professor said, "I always have a strange feeling that someone will leave here forever."

This statement caused a moment of silence, but the professor didn't care at all.

She said to Irene Catchings, who was huddled in a chair, "Honey! Could you please hand me the biggest teacup, the silver one that's closest to you?"

Irene Catchings suddenly became nervous and quickly stood up, took the cup the professor needed from the shelf behind her and put it in her hand.

Trelawney took the teacup without saying anything else, and the girl relaxed.

“What we need to learn this year are the basics of divination. In the future, we need to learn how to interpret tea leaves, read palms, interpret fire omens, and then there is crystal ball divination and so on.

Reading tea leaves will be a major part of our first semester and you will now be asked to work in pairs.

Now, everyone take a cup from the shelf and fill it up over here with tea."

The students rushed to the shelves on the wall, fearing that they would be embarrassed if they were slow to choose a color. Ben muttered that he didn't want to get a cute pink cat.

When everyone's cups were filled with tea, the professor said, "Now everyone sit down and drink your tea. Drink it all, leaving only the tea residue at the bottom of the cup.

Next, you need to shake the teacup with your left hand to let the tea dregs sway in the cup three times, and then turn the cup upside down on the tea tray. "

Everyone did all the actions as she asked.

"Okay, after the last drop of tea has dripped out, swap your teacup with your partner, and let the other person interpret the other person's tea leaves."

Adam handed the cup to Sainz, who took his cup and scratched his head, "How do I interpret this?"

Professor Trelawney heard Adam's whisper and said to everyone, "You can refer to the first ten pages of "Seeing the Future through the Mist", especially pages 5 and 6.

Anyone who doesn’t understand can seek my guidance. I will always be on the lookout among the crowd.”

Adam held the Sainz cup, looked left and right, and compared the contents in the book, "What is this? It looks like an eagle, what does this mean?

...Oh...here, this means you have a mortal enemy!"

Adam sneered unconsciously, “Haha… Sainz, you have a mortal enemy… Haha… I dare say that if there is a mortal enemy against you, he will definitely become a mortal enemy!”

Sainz ignored his teasing and said, "Turn the cup around again and see if there is any other explanation."

"Eh? Is this a sun over here?

What is the sun? ... Um ... the sun means "great joy", congratulations, Sainz, you are going to be very happy..."

"Really? That's great!

But you are in trouble, there is a crooked cross in your tea leaves, which means you are going to suffer!" Sainz said jokingly.

Adam, however, was a little concerned and took his teacup back from him, "Let me see it!"

"Oh! Damn it!

There is a circle under the cross here. What does it mean?

...I...I will not only suffer, but also go to jail?" Adam said in disbelief.

"Hehe... There wasn't originally. The movement you took it away just now was too big and blocked the gap in the circle."

"So, not only am I going to jail, but I'm sending myself there on my own accord?" Adam was shocked. "This must be bullshit!

No! Not at all! "

Sainz said with a bit of sarcasm: "Don't worry, the circle is not necessarily a prison, it's just a metaphor, maybe it represents a similar place that traps people.

Look at it more positively, maybe you just got yourself into the hospital?"

"Thank you so much!"
