days at Hogwarts

Chapter 443 Mad-Eye Moody (page 12)

"You have something on your mind, my dear..."

"My third eye penetrated your brave face and saw the restless soul in your heart..."

Professor Trelawney's disembodied and ethereal voice echoed in the Divination classroom. Everything here was the same as before. The curtains were tightly drawn, and there were many lamps lit in the circular room. The lamps were all covered with scarves and shawls. , shrouding the entire room in a hazy red light.

The spices piled on the fire burned slowly, and curls of smoke drifted out from the flames. The sweet fragrance was so rich that it made people breathless.

Beside the familiar small round table, the thin Professor Trelawney stood straight in front of Harry, staring at Harry with eyes full of sadness: "I see that the days ahead of you are full of hardships... very difficult... you are afraid of Things are really coming...perhaps sooner than you think..."

Ron sat nearby, watching this scene with bright eyes.

Coming, coming, the death prophecy is coming!

Rolling his eyes, Harry looked expressionless and silently looked at the strings of beads, necklaces, and bracelets on her body. These heavy jewelry sparkled in the firelight as usual.

He just couldn't understand why Professor Trelawney was the only one focusing on him when there were so many students in the Divination class...

He really wanted to give Professor Trelawney some advice, so why not look at Ron next to him, he must be very happy to receive his death prophecy.

Loren, who was at the next table, was holding the Divination textbook for this school year in his hand. Next to him was Neville, who was looking down at his book and peeking at Harry from the corner of his eye.

After Hermione quit the Divination class, his Divination class partner changed several times, and was finally fixed on the honest Neville who had lost weight.

Glancing at Professor Trelawney, who was trying to hypnotize Harry, Loren flipped through the course catalog for this semester, which mainly focused on astrological divination, predicting recent events through the movement of the stars, and comparing signs and events in the Pegasus starry sky. No logic.

"My dear, I am very sorry to tell you that your worries are not groundless..."

"..." Harry remained silent.

Professor Trelawney, who received no response, glanced at him, turned around and passed them lightly, her jewelry jingling, she came up to the stage and sat in a large wing-backed armchair in front of the fire, Face the whole class in a very stylish manner.

"My dear, it's time for us to study the stars." Professor Trelawney said. "The movements of the planets and the mysterious signs they display can only be understood by those who understand how the stars dance and the rules of the dance... Human destiny can be deciphered by the planet's radiant light, which blends into each other..."

Professor Trelawney muttered words about fortune-telling over and over again, accompanied by the rich aroma of the fire, and before long, the little wizards were already drowsy.

Harry shook his groggy head and glanced to the side. Ron's head was clicking like a chicken pecking at rice, and he had completely lost consciousness.

"..." Harry shook his head, no longer counting on this unreliable person. He gently poked Loren, who was reading a book at the next table, wanting to discuss with him whether Malfoy would report Hagrid.

"Loren, Loren..."

Loren lowered his head to read and didn't respond.

Harry turned his head when he realized something was wrong. Neville blinked at him, his little eyes full of confusion, while his little friend supported his chin with one hand and slept more soundly than Ron who was pecking at rice.

Harry: "..."

What kind of teammates are these? None of them are reliable!

"Harry Potter!"

Trelawney's heavy, ethereal voice came from behind.

Harry turned around in excitement, only to find that Trelawney had already faced them at some point, staring directly at him. He quickly sat up straight.

"My dear, I was just saying that when you were born, you were obviously under the ominous influence of Saturn." Professor Trelawney said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, because Harry obviously did not pay attention to her lecture.

"I'm sorry, what happened?"

"Saturn, dear, Saturn!"

Professor Trelawney's tone was obviously annoyed: "I just said that at the moment you were born, Saturn must have dominated the sky...your black hair...your thin body...and your infancy... I lost my parents when I was young...I can tell you, dear, you were born in winter, right?"

"No, my birthday is in July."

There was a burst of suppressed laughter all around, and Professor Trelawney's face became a little stiff. She cleared her throat as if nothing happened: "Divination is not a magic spell. I have taught you everything that can be said in words. In the following time, you will use the chart in the textbook to calculate the position of the planets when you were born..."

Returning to the fire, Professor Trelawney once again turned his back to the students and continued to observe the distant future with his Third Eye.

"Homework!" Professor Trelawney suddenly turned around: "Refer to your respective charts to analyze in detail the impact of the planetary movement on you next month. It must be handed in on Monday next week. No excuses are allowed. !”

The little wizards looked at each other, but after saying this this time, she turned around without looking back, her posture was very precise.

Calculating planetary positions is a tedious task that involves many formulas, looking up many parameters, and calculating many tedious times and angles, not to mention after-school homework to predict the positions of planets and analyze the signs represented by the positions.

As can be expected, most of this weekend will be spent in it.

Seamus and Dean always thought it was because Harry had embarrassed Trelawney and she was venting her anger, but Harry felt that their laughter at that time had angered Professor Trelawney, and neither party could convince them. who.

Until the end of get out of class, Professor Trelawney was still immersed in the world of Third Eye, without looking back or moving. The little wizards had no choice but to tiptoe out of the classroom.

Harry was refreshed by the influx of fresh air. He shook the parchment in his hand and complained: "I calculated that I had two Neptunes when I was born. This must be wrong, isn't it?"

"Ah, well..." Ron imitated Professor Trelawney's soft and nervous tone and said: "When two Neptunes appear in the sky, it definitely indicates that a little person wearing glasses is about to be born. Yes, Harry..."

After hearing this, Seamus and Dean, who were walking behind, giggled, and Loren couldn't help but smile.

……

dinner time.

Loren and others walked through the tower and returned to the auditorium.

The auditorium was packed with little wizards waiting for dinner. Everyone was excitedly talking about the first day of the new semester, especially the sixth-grade wizards who had just taken Mad-Eye's Defense Against the Dark Arts class. They looked very surprised, but said no. Be clear about the specific situation.

The voices of George, Fred and Lee Jordan could be heard from far away.

"Moody! He's so cool, isn't he?"

“It’s more than cool!”

"Awesome!"

"I've never had a class like this."

"He really knows how to work."

Harry and Ron walked over excitedly: "What do you know?"

"Understand what black magic and dark wizards are all about."
