Harry Potter's Catastrophe

All the students came to the classroom, but they did not see the professor.

"Where is she?" said Ron.

A voice suddenly came from the shadows, a soft and fuzzy voice.

"Welcome," the voice said. "It's good to finally see you in the physical world."

The first impression they had was that of a large, glowing insect. Professor Trelawney walked into the firelight and they saw that she was very thin.

Her big glasses magnified her eyes several times. She wore a thin transparent gauze-like sparkling shawl. There were countless necklaces and beads hanging on her slender neck. She wore bracelets and bracelets on both arms and hands. ring.

"Sit, my children, sit," she said.

Then they all climbed awkwardly onto the armchairs or sank into the bulging cushions. Harry, Ron and Hermione were sitting at the same round table, and they were surprised to find that Carney was missing.

But after seeing the book in front of Hermione and flipping through it, he knew where Carney was. There was a chair next to Hermione.

Hermione tried to touch the chair, but found nothing.

The quill on the table suddenly moved and wrote on the book: You don't want to perform a transformation in the classroom, do you? I become visible when touched.

"Don't write anything in my textbook." Hermione grabbed the book and erased the writing with an eraser.

"Why are you invisible?" she whispered, and when she didn't get a response, she had to move the book over again.

'I wonder if the Divination Professor can divine that there is an extra person in the classroom, right in front of her. This may be helpful to you in this course. ’

"Whatever you want." Hermione pulled back the book and erased the writing. She was about to start listening attentively, but Professor Trelawney had already begun to speak.

"Welcome to Divination," said Professor Trelawney, sitting in a winged armchair in front of the fireplace.

"I am Professor Trelawney. You may not have met me before. I find that being exposed to the bustling and busy school life too frequently makes my third vision blurred."

No one said anything about such an unusual declaration.

Professor Trelawney carefully rearranged her shawl and continued: "You have chosen the Divination class, which is the most difficult class of all magical arts. I must warn you from the beginning: if you do not have 'Sight' ', then there is very little I can teach you. In this regard, books can only take you so far..."

After hearing this, both Harry and Ron looked at Hermione with a smile. Hermione looked surprised to hear that the books in this class were not of much use.

“Many witches and wizards, despite their genius at producing loud bangs, scents, and sudden invisibility, cannot see through the fog and see into the future.”

Professor Trelawney continued, her huge glowing eyes turning from face to face. "Only a few have this kind of gift. You, boy," she said suddenly to Neville, who nearly fell off his cushion, "how is your grandma?"

"I guess it's good," Neville said shakily.

"I wouldn't be so sure if I were you, dear," Professor Trelawney said, the firelight flickering on her long emerald earrings.

Neville was breathless.

Professor Trelawney continued calmly: "This year we are learning various basic methods of divination. The first semester was spent reading tea leaves. Next semester we should learn palmistry. By the way, my dear," she Suddenly to Parvati Patil said, "Beware of red-haired men."

Parvati glanced fearfully at Ron, who was sitting just behind her. Parvati moved her chair further away from Ron.

"During the summer term," Professor Trelawney continued, "we will be learning to see into the crystal ball?, if we have finished studying Omens of Fire. Unfortunately, in February, a vicious flu will force the closure of classes. Myself Will lose his voice. Around Easter, one of us will leave everyone forever."

There was a tense silence in the classroom after she said this, but Professor Trelawney seemed not to notice it.

Carney felt that this was like a fake fortune teller, saying that if your hall turns black, you will suffer a bloody disaster.

"I wonder, darling," she said to Lavender Brown, who was sitting closest and cowering in her chair, "could you hand me the biggest teapot?"

Looking relieved, Lavender stood up, took a huge teapot from the shelf and placed it on the table in front of Professor Trelawney.

"Thank you, dear. By the way, that thing you're afraid of will happen on Friday, October 16th."

Lavender trembled.

Maybe it was because of Trelawney. After all, who doesn't have anything to be afraid of? Even a little girl would be scared by the neurotic-looking Trelawney. Carney was unimpressed.

"Now, I want you all to divide into two groups. Get a tea cup from the shelf and come to me. I will pour tea into the cup. Then sit down and drink the tea until only the tea leaves are left in the cup.

Swirl the tea leaves three times with your left hand, then turn the tea cup over and place it on the cup holder; wait until the last bit of tea has drained out, and then show your tea cup to your partner.

We can use the content on pages 5 and 6 of the book "Pull Through the Fog to See the Future" to interpret the shape of tea leaves. I will walk among you to help you and to instruct you. Oh, and dear..." She grabbed Neville's arm and pulled him to his feet.

"After you break the first teacup, can you choose one of the blue teacups? I like the pink one very much."

That's right, as soon as Neville reached the shelf where the teacups were placed, there was the sound of cracking porcelain. Professor Trelawney hurried over with a dustpan and broom and said, "Well, if you don't mind, take a blue one, thank you!"

This...she must know that Neville is timid and always makes mistakes in Potions class because he is afraid of Professor Snape.

So she began to plant the seeds of fear from the beginning. She first talked about Neville's scary grandma, then created the atmosphere, and hinted that Neville would break the teacup, so Neville felt that he would really break the teacup, which had a psychological effect on him. Then it was really broken.

But others didn't think so. With a look of wonder on their faces, Professor Trelawney immediately verified it as soon as she finished speaking.

But it was just right, Carney had time to get a cup and pour water for himself when Professor Trelawney left the tea table.

After Harry and Ron's teacups were filled, they returned to their tables and managed to drink the scalding tea quickly.

Okay," Ron said, and the two of them turned the book to pages five and six at the same time, and began to interpret the tea stains in the tea cup based on the content above.

Carney and Hermione exchanged cups, and Hermione took Carney's cup and compared it with the book.
