Chapter 255 How About Firing Her for Real?

Why did Trelawney appear in this prophetic state?

Is it because of her ancestor Cassandra?

Legend has it that Trelawney's ancestor Cassandra was once known as a prophet. Is this related to her adoptive father Gellert Grindelwald, or the prophetic eye of the Grindelwald family?

In her first year, the centaur Firenze, the future professor of divination at Hogwarts, also saw that she was different.

At the beginning, he knew that he was coming through the stars, and he was extremely confident in himself.

He even told me the prophecy of the centaurs.

Is this extraordinary wizard ability all inherited?

"It seems that I have to take some time to visit the centaur tribe."

"I just don't know if Firenze can take me in. It's difficult to see the situation."

"Otherwise, it's impossible that he hasn't shown up again."

...

Principal's office.

Trelawney was still sobbing.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Dumbledore was full of fear.

"Albus, just now in the Divination class, Sybil made a prophecy!"

"The state... is very strange, I have never seen it before!"

"It's like being possessed by something."

"Sybil herself doesn't remember anything about the prophecy."

"Don't remember the content?" Dumbledore straightened his back.

His eyes were deep, as if he recalled something.

"What prophecy? Minerva?"

"Repeat it to me word for word."

Professor McGonagall's memory was pretty good. Even if Trelawney only said it once.

Or she spoke without any warning, she could remember the content completely.

After listening to it, Dumbledore frowned.

"Did she suddenly say it when Mr. Grindelwald took the crystal ball?"

"What happened before that?"

"It seems that Sybil invited Mr. Grindelwald to do divination during class, and Mr. Grindelwald made a prophecy that was related to Sybil."

The incident happened suddenly, and Professor McGonagall didn't have time to understand everything, so she could only tell Dumbledore what she knew.

"I don't know the details, but it seems to be a prophecy that Sybil will be expelled from Hogwarts, and she burst into tears at the door."

"Sybil was frightened and ran out crying to find you."

"I happened to meet me, comforted her for a while, and sent her back to the classroom."

"But I felt that Sybil's condition was not suitable for class for the time being, so I asked Mr. Grindelwald to put away the crystal ball first, and then Sybil suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person..."

"Wait, Minerva!" Dumbledore's expression was serious.

"You mean, she made the prophecy after seeing Mr. Grindelwald put away the crystal ball?"

"That's right."

Dumbledore fell into deep thought.

When he interviewed Trelawney, a similar scene also occurred.

After communicating with Trelawney, he found that Trelawney did not inherit the talent of his ancestors and could only rely on mystification to attract the attention of others.

After clearly expressing his refusal, Trelawney also collapsed, and suddenly made a prophecy during the comfort process.

Could it be that Trelawney would only have this situation when he was extremely sad and afraid?

If that's the case, maybe he could really try to kick her out of Hogwarts and try to get her to make predictions again.

But he could only keep this kind of thing in his heart.

On the surface, he still comforted Trelawney very gently.

"Sybil, don't worry, no one is going to kick you out."

"You've been in Hogwarts for so many years. If they want to kick you out, why do they have to wait until now?"

"Really?" Trelawney's mind was stagnant, and it wasn't until now that he started to turn around.

Hearing Dumbledore's assurance, he found that it seemed to be true.

"Of course, Hogwarts will never fire a professor without reason!"

Dumbledore didn't say everything, leaving some room for himself later.

If one day in the future, she really needs to use her predictive ability, expulsion may not be a bad idea.

Trelawney obviously didn't understand what Dumbledore meant.

I thought I got his assurance.

Wipe the tears from my face, showing an embarrassed look.

"Principal Dumbledore, I...I..."

"It's okay, Sibyl, everyone has times when they lose control of their emotions." Dumbledore didn't seem to care.

After consoling Trelawney with Professor McGonagall, the two officially got into the topic.

"Albus, what do you think about the prophecy?"

"It should be true. Her state when she predicted was exactly the same as when I interviewed her that year."

Dumbledore said, motioning Professor McGonagall to sit down and talk.

Professor McGonagall's expression changed.

She was just skeptical before, after all, she hadn't seen what Trelawney looked like during the interview, and she hadn't made many reliable predictions in all these years.

If it weren't for the fact that Trelawney's condition was really wrong, she might have sent him back to the office.

Dumbledore's affirmation was obviously beyond her imagination!

"Who is she talking about? Sirius Black? Will he enter Hogwarts to kill people? Will he reunite with...that person?"

"I'm afraid that's the case." Dumbledore nodded with a heavy expression.

"Minerva, we have to prepare for the worst."

"The worst...prepare..."

Professor McGonagall couldn't imagine how Sirius could enter Hogwarts under the triple siege of the Saints, Aurors, and Hogwarts professors.

Even a bloodbath broke out in Hogwarts!

But her worst-case scenario seemed to be slightly different from what Dumbledore said.

"Yes, if Sybil's prophecy is correct, that person... is likely to be resurrected!"

"That person!"

Professor McGonagall was so focused on the blood of innocent people that she almost forgot the following sentence.

If Sirius was a servant, who could be called the master?

Only Voldemort!

Recalling the ugly appearance of Voldemort leading the Death Eaters to do all kinds of evil in the British wizarding world, she couldn't help but show a sad face.

After Grindelwald and Voldemort, she now has to endure Voldemort's resurrection.

Professor McGonagall, who has reached retirement age, really feels tired.

She thinks of Sybil's prophecy, Harry, the son of prophecy, and Argus.

She sighed quietly in her heart.

It would be great if another ten years passed, when the younger generation of wizards would grow up.

With Argus's talent, plus Harry.

Why should she have a headache!

"During this period, Minerva, you must be more vigilant and keep an eye on Harry."

"If Sirius really sneaks into Hogwarts, the first target must be Harry."

Even Dumbledore couldn't think of how Sirius entered Hogwarts.

He could only ask Professor McGonagall to be more vigilant.

"I will, but Sibyl's prophecy has been heard by too many little wizards. Will it make Sirius wary?"

"The reason why prophecy is prophecy is that fate will use all kinds of unexpected ways to go to the path it plans."

Dumbledore looked deep into the distance.

It seemed that he wanted to see through this wall and see a scene in a certain memory.
