Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way - Chapter 406

c390 This is the master’s task

The bell finally rang, which made Umbridge sigh in relief, but gritted her teeth.

Harry turned back so neatly, and it seemed that he had no hope of getting an answer from him.

So what did her previous actions count? Aren’t you just fooling yourself?

This made Umbridge’s hatred for Harry even more intense. After all, she was a petty person.

But Umbridge couldn’t have an attack yet and could only continue to put a smile on her face.

Professor Trelawney, who was standing at the front of the classroom, felt exactly the opposite to Umbridge. She truly felt that Harry was a good student and that what she had done was not in vain.

Although Harry’s spirituality was insufficient and he had no talent for divination, the homework he handed in was unrealistic and did not conform to the textbooks, and he did not have the dexterity of a divination talent like himself who possesses the third eye and the wise eye.

But he has never given up on Harley and has been teaching her “carefully”.

Although I have a reputation of coveting Harley, and I want to use her to take divination classes to attract more students to myself, but you just have to say you haven’t given up!

But now, without communicating with him at all, Harry took the initiative to hold Umbridge back for him, preventing her from continuing to press her gaze with her eyes, and bought herself valuable thinking time before class.

Of course, Professor Trelawney did not need the students to buy time because she had not prepared the lesson, but she was just a little afraid of being criticized by this vicious witch.

After all, divination has always been about making predictions based on the heart. If Umbridge is so ugly, she must be a jealous scumbag who will deliberately make things difficult and target talented people like herself.

Now that Harry had “delayed” Umbridge and bought Professor Trelawney valuable preparation time, Professor Trelawney was naturally grateful.

However, after class actually started, Professor Trelawney was still a little nervous, and couldn’t help but tighten the shawl wrapped around her body with her slightly trembling hands.

“Today we will continue to study the content of the last lesson,” Professor Trelawney bravely maintained his usual mysterious tone, “to learn about prophetic dreams.”

“Ask students to work in pairs and interpret each other’s dreams according to the explanations in the “Dream Interpretation Guide” textbook.”

“During this period, I will be making rounds and answering your questions.”

The students nodded and opened their books one after another, which made Professor Trelawney’s face look even better.

“So I still don’t understand,” Susan opened her textbook and kept her voice as low as possible.

“Even if the old liar’s statement is true, dreams may be our own mental feedback when we feel changes in the world around us.”

“But what can we interpret from a fixed textbook?”

“You have to ask yourself.” Harley raised her hand with a smirk, and Void ate the tofu.

“It seems that you have forgotten your original intention of taking the divination class.”

Susan lowered her head and thought for a few seconds, and then she suddenly realized.

That’s right, I chose this course just to earn credits with Trelawney, an old liar.

What does the true appearance of the divination class have to do with myself? Will I get a P for my Transfiguration homework?

“You’re right, I forgot such an important thing.” Susan fiddled with the textbook casually.

“Then just make up a dream and fool me. The old liar will be here soon.”

When the students began to interpret their dreams, Umbridge also stood up from her seat, walked around the classroom, and asked the students questions from time to time.

However, she probably had something on her mind, so she deliberately stayed away from Harry and approached Professor Trelawney.

Professor Trelawney sensed the approach of the pink toad, so he deliberately started a teaching dispute with two Gryffindor boys——

Ron and Dean’s interpretation of dreams differed from Professor Trelawney’s.

Ron said that he had a dream last night. He dreamed that after becoming the goalkeeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, he defended all the goals scored by the opponent in the first game.

Moreover, time flew by quickly, and he had been firmly guarding Gryffindor’s goal, not letting anyone take a point from him.

Ron firmly believed that this was a prophetic dream that proved that he would succeed.

But Professor Trelawney didn’t think so. She said that last night Jupiter moved away from Saturn in the astrological sense.

Therefore, the interpretation of this dream should also be consistent with the prediction of the image and interpreted in the opposite direction.

The correct interpretation should be that Ron will definitely become a new generation of colander in the next game. He let eleven out of ten balls – one of which was kicked backwards and into his own goal.

She also criticized Ron and Dean for not being able to integrate the knowledge of astrological divination that she had taught them before!

I obviously only talked about it in the first half of this year, but they have forgotten it now!

I’m so angry, when can I stand up in the divination class?

Of course, when reprimanding Ron, Professor Trelawney’s voice was extremely confident, even if Umbridge was present.

After all, she quietly saw the Weasley twins giving Ron special training yesterday through the gap in the tower window.

That scene…tsk, tsk, tsk, even Trelawney, who didn’t know Quidditch, could see that Ron’s level was appalling.

This is why Professor Trelawney dared to make a prophecy in front of Umbridge. Anyway, she added the attribute, the next game.

At Ron’s level, can he practice before the first game? Professor Trelawney said he didn’t believe it. He might as well believe he was Merlin.

Professor Trelawney’s divination made Ron very angry. It was a naked slander on his own character!

If you can’t speak, I suggest you don’t speak. No one will think you are mute!

“Is this your prediction?” Umbridge suddenly came over and said in a sinister voice,

“But it seems to me that your explanation is completely different from the textbook, Professor Trelawney.”

“Do you think there is an error in the textbook? Or is there something wrong with your own level of divination?”

“Then why does Hogwarts not directly require students to learn divination based on textbooks, but instead hires me, a famous divination expert?”

Faced with Umbridge’s pressing steps, Professor Trelawney couldn’t help but take a step back and retort at the same time.

“I have already said that we must learn to combine reality with reality.” She tried hard to suppress her uneasy mood and explained in as cold a voice as possible, “Just like the astrology knowledge I mentioned before…”

Professor Trelawney was frantically searching for answers. Harry, who was dealing with Susan in the distance and observing the movements here, almost laughed out loud.

Isn’t what Professor Trelawney said just bullying Umbridge as a layperson? The editor is reluctant to edit it more seriously.

But Umbridge actually believed it a little bit. After all, what Professor Trelawney said seemed very rigorous.

“Professor Trelawney, you seem to have a lot of knowledge and experience, don’t you?”

Umbridge said with a smile after Professor Trelawney finished his views on dream interpretation.

Trelawney glanced at her fiercely, crossed his arms and shrugged his shoulders, seeming to resist Umbridge’s questioning.

“Of course,” her voice was still confident, “I have been working in this position for sixteen years!”

“Think about it for yourself, if I didn’t have real talents, would Professor Dumbledore hire me?”

The smile on Umbridge’s face grew stronger and she made a few notes in her notebook.

“Professor Dumbledore hired you personally?”

“It’s true! Only a discerning person like him can see what’s special about me!”

“I heard that your grandmother is a famous prophet in the magical world, Cassandra Trelawney?”

“It’s great-great-grandmother, thank you.” Professor Trelawney corrected,

“I am her great-great-granddaughter and the second wizard in the Trelawney family to inherit the Third Eye.”

“Second place?” Umbridge’s voice was a little more confused.

“Uh,” Trelawney suddenly felt that something was wrong with his words and felt a little guilty inside, but the expression on his face remained calm.

“The Third Eye often awakens every generation…well…it’s normal to wake up every three generations.”

“After all, a certain divination book said that magic begets one, which begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things, so the inheritance three generations apart is the most magical.”

As he spoke, Trelawney waved his wand, and a tattered book flew not far away.

Harry’s sharp eyes saw that the book was called “The Scripture of Ethics”, and the author’s name was very strange, called “I”.

There is also a line of Chinese characters printed at the bottom of the book:

“This book has been translated by Bell Magazine.”

If Harry remembered correctly, there was no such magazine in the wizarding world, and there was no Bell Magazine among the big magazines in the Muggle world.

The case was solved. Trelawney probably got a translated second-hand Muggle book from somewhere and used it to fool Umbridge.

Umbridge was not easily calmed down, and was still asking and answering Trelawney.

Umbridge’s questions became more pointed, and Trelawney’s answers became more flustered.

Although the smile on Umbridge’s face still existed, the meaning behind the smile changed. It seemed that she was a little dissatisfied and disappointed.

Harry shook her head, knowing why Umbridge had reacted this way.

After all, this is the master’s task.

On the night of the first weekend, Harry was kidnapped by Professor Dumbledore and had to work inhumane overtime in the middle of the night.

After clearing the curse that had existed in Hogwarts for a long time, the connection between the curse and Voldemort was not severed. Instead, it was logically taken over by Harley and connected to the curse she made.

So when Umbridge used dark magic to connect the curse, trying to use the power of the curse to escape the supervision of Professor Dumbledore and contact her new master, the magic was connected to Harry.

Harley is a talented and virtuous witch in the new era. She has always been kind-hearted and willing to help others, so naturally she will not be stingy with this little power.

Of course, Harry is such a kind person and helped her block the monitoring of the principal’s authority. It is only natural to charge a small fee.

As a result, the magical exchanges between Umbridge and Voldemort that could not be overheard by Dobby were so easily visible to Harry.

According to the known information, Umbridge came to Hogwarts not only to complete Fudge’s mission and continue to gain Fudge’s trust, but also to satisfy Voldemort’s “curiosity”——

Voldemort was obsessed with an unknown prophecy during the summer vacation, and Dobby had already reported this to Harry.

There are two ways to obtain prophecies, one of which is to invade the Prophecy Hall of the Department of Mysteries of the British Ministry of Magic.

There is a wonderful phenomenon in the magic world. When each prophecy is generated, a corresponding crystal ball will automatically form in the prophecy hall.

This is not a magic spell cast by the Department of Mysteries, and the Silent Man in the Department of Mysteries is not that capable.

Like the door in the Chamber of Death, these crystal balls predate the creation of the Department of Mysteries.

This kind of crystal ball containing prophecies is extremely mysterious. Only the characters who appear in the prophecies can understand the contents of the crystal ball.

As for others, even if they get the crystal ball, they will not be able to obtain its secrets. If they want to obtain it by force, they will even be counterattacked and obliterated by unknown forces.

Since the establishment of the Prophecy Hall, many magic masters have been curious about the mystery of this place, but unfortunately they have not been able to decipher it until now.

Harley already knew this, but considering that the Department of Mysteries contains twelve halls, the Hall of Death and the Hall of Prophecy are one of them. The door in the center of the Hall of Death hides the City of Disaster. .

It can be juxtaposed with the Hall of Death, and the phenomenon is so weird. If you say that behind the Hall of Prophecy is actually the extraordinary characteristics left by a sequence nine fortune teller, Harry will never believe it.

So Harley is not curious about the Prophecy Hall at all, at least she doesn’t want to explore the secrets before she becomes the Sequence One Doomsday Witch.

She is not even willing to divine the specific content or whereabouts of this prophecy. After all, no matter how she avoids risks, traces of the Prophecy Hall will inevitably appear in the divination, and it may be linked to the City of Disaster.

Curiosity kills, and any witch who lives long enough knows how to survive in a dangerous world.

As for Voldemort, Harry could only sincerely wish him good luck. Anyway, I still have his Horcrux in my hand, and there are traces of it left by him.

Even if he dies, he can create a fake Voldemort to lead the Death Eaters and dark creatures for him and complete the promotion ceremony.

It didn’t matter whether Voldemort was dead or alive, what was important was that the Death Eaters believed that he was alive.

In addition to going to the Prophecy Hall, another feasible way to obtain prophecies is to perform divination.

Voldemort was preparing two methods at one hand. On the one hand, he asked the Death Eaters to make a plan to invade the Prophecy Hall of the Department of Mysteries, and on the other hand, he asked Umbridge to try it from Trelawny’s side.

If Trelawny was really a soothsayer and re-divined the prophecy, Voldemort thought he would have made a lot of money.

And it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t divine it. Trelawney can be expelled from Hogwarts on the grounds that he is a liar, allowing Umbridge to further gain Fudge’s trust.

According to Voldemort, Fudge was a very important sacrifice. He asked Umbridge not to break up with Fudge, at least not until Christmas.

Overall, regardless of Trelawney’s true ability or not, Voldemort’s move is not a loss.
