Chapter 82 Trelawney's Third Eye
Hagrid's first class ended successfully.
At Rolf's suggestion, he also distributed a Hippogriff feather to each student as an after-school reward.
When Hagrid was raising hippogriffs, he collected a lot of fallen feathers and piled them in the wooden house.
Hagrid is of no use leaving it alone, and there is a risk of it being picked up by his teeth to cushion the nest, so why not take it out and make some classroom rewards.
This small move undoubtedly received unanimous praise from the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students, so much so that when they had dinner in the auditorium at noon, everyone was full of praise for Hagrid.
Many people originally thought that Hagrid would become a strong contender for this year's "Most Unpopular Professor", but they didn't know that after the first class, his reputation turned out to be surprisingly good.
It seems that Snape will continue to win the "Least Popular Professor Award" again. It can only be said that the students "prefer" him too much.
Apart from Hagrid, the most discussed person is undoubtedly Trelawney, the divination professor.
She made a death announcement in Gryffindor's Divination class, foretelling Harry's death and causing panic.
However, Rove knew very well that this was Trelawney's traditional performance. She predicted the death of a student every year to welcome the new class of students.
She is obviously engaged in a very new "welcoming method".
Hufflepuff's divination class was in the afternoon. After lunch, everyone couldn't wait to leave the main castle and walked towards the north tower.
They followed the stairs and finally landed on a small landing. There was no door on the landing, but in the ceiling, there was a circular trap door.
After the students arrived one after another, the trap door suddenly opened, and a silver ladder fell from the sky and landed at everyone's feet.
Everyone started to line up, slowly climbed up the silver stairs, and entered a weird classroom.
In fact, it's not a classroom at all, more like a cross between a loft and an old-fashioned teahouse.
There are at least twenty small round tables crowded into this classroom. Around each table were Indian calico armchairs and bulging little cushions.
The classroom was very warm, the fireplace was full, and oak wood was burning, giving off a scent.
In front of the fireplace, there was a huge armchair covered with soft blankets. A thin witch was sitting on it and sleeping, snoring loudly.
Professor Trelawney probably drank too much, and she was holding an empty wine bottle in her arms.
The students all looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Death eaters, liars, reform prisoners who have just been released from prison, old men who don't like to wash their hair...and now there's an alcoholic?
Are there really few normal people among the teachers at Hogwarts?
Or has the school deteriorated to the point where it can no longer attract normal teachers?
Hannah, who was wearing two braids, walked over and whispered kindly: "Professor Trelawney, class is here, wake up."
But Professor Trelawney remained motionless and snored loudly.
"How can you possibly wake her up with such a gentle call... Look at me."
Susan walked over, raised her hand and pushed Professor Trelawney's shoulder. As a result, Trelawney snored louder.
"..."
Rolf was standing not far away. He thought for a while and suddenly shouted loudly: "Professor McGonagall, why are you here?"
Professor Trelawney shivered as if she had been electrocuted, and woke up instantly. She quickly wiped her saliva with her sleeves, sat upright, and tried her best to show off her popularity and said:
"Minerva...I didn't drink during working hours...I didn't...this is a potion..."
Professor Trelawney suddenly stopped talking and stared ahead suspiciously. She didn't see McGonagall, only saw a group of students surrounding her.
"Oh, kids, are you okay?"
"Professor, the class has been in class for five minutes." Luofu smiled and said, "You were sleeping just now."
"I didn't sleep!" Professor Trelawney put the bottle on the ground, then pulled her shawl and said:
"I'm just dreaming."
Luo Fe was speechless and said: "Is there any difference?"
"Of course." Professor Trelawney straightened her body back, with a deep expression on her face: "Sleeping is resting, but dreaming is not."
"If you're not taking a break, you can't still work, right?" Luofu raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, it's work, kid." Professor Trelawney said seriously:
"Dreams are prophecies and omens. I just peeked into the future through dreams..."
"..."
The students were all speechless. They could think of all these reasons, so would they be able to sleep in class in the future... ah no, peeking into the future?
"Then this wine..." Luofu asked again.
"I just said... this is not wine, it is a magic drug!" Professor Trelawney emphasized: "It is a drug that can help me enter deeper dreams. I have a drink at noon... cough, a few sips... like this Only then can we see further..."
[To be honest, I have been using the Changing Source app recently to read and catch up on updates. Changing sources allows me to switch between sources and read aloud with many different sounds. It can be used on both Android and Apple. 】
"Of course, if no one wakes me up, this drug will keep me in a dream state for a long time without being able to wake up, which is very dangerous." Professor Trelawney said in a hoarse voice:
"Fortunately... I have long seen the image of you arriving here and waking me up in the crystal ball, so I can enter my dream with peace of mind."
The students looked at each other, many of them judging whether Professor Trelawney was lying.
"Okay, children, please sit down." Trelawney waved her hand.
While the students were looking for seats, Trelawney took the opportunity to throw the wine bottle into a flowerpot, arrange the sparkling shawl again, and finally picked up the heavy necklace and beads from the shelf and hung them around her neck again. superior.
"Welcome to the divination class," Professor Trelawney stood up and walked slowly around the classroom:
"I am Professor Trelawney. You may not have seen me before. But I have spied on you many times in my dreams."
Professor Trelawney walked slowly, leaning on a richly decorated oak cane with a crystal ball on top.
"You took Divination, but it is the most difficult of all the magical arts."
Many students laughed. They chose this course because they heard it was the easiest.
"I must warn you from the beginning..." Professor Trelawney continued:
"If you don't have 'sight', then there will be very little I can teach you. In this regard, books can only take you so far..."
Hannah raised her hand and asked curiously: "Professor, what is the horizon?"
"It's the third eye, also called second sight." Professor Trelawney said in a disembodied voice:
"Only wizards who open their eyes can gain this special ability."
"Aren't we keeping our eyes open?" Susan asked.
"You just opened your eyes." Professor Trelawney's gaze shifted from Hannah to Susan.
"The third eye has not been opened...that is, the third eye. You have not been able to open it yet."
The students looked at each other.
“With your two eyes, you can see my face and the scenery outside the window, but that’s where it ends.
And the third eye allows you to see the past, present and future;
The third eye allows you to sit in Hogwarts and witness things happening in distant places;
The third eye allows you to explore mysterious things and hidden history. The three eyes never lie. "
After pacing around in a circle, Professor Trelawney sat back down in the winged armchair.
All the noise among the students disappeared, and many students were completely turned off.
Justin asked eagerly: "Professor, how do we open the third eye and get the third eye?"
"This is why you are in my class, children." Professor Trelawney smiled with satisfaction.
"I will do my best to help you break your shackles."
