The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Although Professor Trelawney was trying to comfort Tom, Tom always felt like she was gloating about her misfortune?

"But you don't have to worry too much about this. There are always some people in life who can't accompany us to the end. It's normal to have differences. And misfortune can be a real blessing. Some people will only pollute your third eye..." Professor Trelawney was frantically hinting and fanning the flames, and finally seemed to remember that he was still taking an exam.

So she cleared her throat and motioned for Tom to continue.

Interrupted by Professor Trelawney, when Tom looked at the crystal ball again, he could no longer see the unknown animals.

"Well... something seems to have changed." Tom had a splitting headache and felt his eyes swollen uncomfortably. "I seem to see many clusters of flames burning..."

Professor Trelawney was stunned for a moment, "Flame? A harbinger of war?! I will observe the trajectory of Mars at night. The scattered flames are a sign of war, a sign of troubled times... Very good, Yodel, very good !”

Her quill flew across the parchment in her lap.

"Yordel, you already have all the qualifications of a true prophet. Well, let's finish your exam here first."

Tom was a little disappointed. He picked up his schoolbag and just walked to the trap door when suddenly there was a loud, harsh voice behind him.

"...fallen leaves——"

"What!" Tom turned around suddenly. He saw Professor Trelawney sitting upright in the armchair, his eyes blank.

Tom understood in an instant that Professor Trelawney had entered that mysterious state of prophecy. He immediately concentrated his attention and tried to remember every word of Professor Trelawney's prophecy in his heart——

boom!

A thunder was born out of thin air during the day, and it exploded outside the divination classroom, startling Tom. And the effect of this thunder was not only to scare Tom. Under such strong interference, Professor Trelawney's eyes trembled for a while, and he actually retreated from the "prophet" state just now.

Her head dropped to her chest and she made a strange noise. Then she raised her head suddenly, looking dazed, "Sorry, kid, I seemed to have taken a nap just now. It's really hot today..."

At this moment, the sound of pattering raindrops came from the window. After the thunder just now, it started to rain.

"Please help me open the window before you leave. Incense can help us dispel the filth in our Third Eye, but too much is not enough..."

Tom nodded and opened the window for Professor Trelawney before leaving. A stream of fresh air with the moisture of rain swept into the divination classroom, completely replacing the scent of incense in the air.

The next little wizard is in luck. After sighing, Tom climbed down the ladder and left the examination room along the spiral staircase.

"Yordle, how did you do in the exam?" As soon as Tom returned to the ground, he was surrounded by several Gryffindor witches. Tom recognized one of them: Parvati, and her Hermione friend was Padre Ma's sister. These people are undoubtedly big fans of Professor Trelawney.

"Professor Trelawney praised me a few times and thought I saw a lot of things... As for the content of the exam? Do you really want to know?"

The little witches shook their heads.

"It's good to keep a sense of mystery." Tom didn't have the habit of talking loudly, so he bypassed several witches and walked to the corner. He also wanted to observe it - maybe Harry and Professor Trelawney would come up with something different after meeting?

Although the probability is very small...

"I don't want any mystery," Ron walked over with a smile and put his hand on Tom's shoulder, "Can you reveal the scope of the exam?"

"Crystal ball." Tom answered very simply, "The professor just opened the window for ventilation. The air above is good now. You can take the test as soon as possible."

Ron was ecstatic after hearing the good news. He gave Tom a thumbs up and ran towards the Divination classroom happily.

In fact, everyone originally lined up to enter, but a series of things that just happened made the team a little confused, and Ron really got into it.

But after a while, Ron walked down with a pale face.

"How is it?" Harry was curious.

"It's not crystal ball divination at all!" Ron's face was full of grief and anger, and his voice was hoarse. "That old witch made me a cup of scalding hot tea! My throat hurts now!"

But when talking about the results, Ron seemed to be happy again, "I made some nonsense... I didn't think she believed it, but she seemed to be in a good mood and let me go..."

Harry:…

If I had known he would have rushed up just now!

But that's no longer possible and the queue has been rearranged.

"I'll wait for you outside!" Ron waved to him, walked away from the students lining up, and then waited for Harry at the corner of the corridor.

To Ron's surprise, Tom didn't leave either.

"I'll wait a minute Harry, I'm curious what his exam questions are."

Ron had some difficulty understanding Tom's brain circuit, but it was a good thing to have someone chatting with him.

The two of them just started chatting in the corridor. From time to time, students who had finished their divination exams would pass by them, but they didn't pay much attention.

For Ron, he was just waiting for his friend Harry, and Tom only cared about whether Harry had triggered Professor Trelawney's "Prophet" Buff, causing Professor Trelawney to make another wave of prophecies.

"...Quidditch World Cup Finals, are you going to watch it?" The two of them talked about their summer vacation arrangements.

"I do have this plan." Tom nodded, "I plan to go to Diagon Alley to work during the summer vacation to see if I can earn money from the game tickets - by the way, can Muggles go to watch the game? I mean Muggle wizards parents."

Ron immediately understood what Tom meant. He frowned and thought for a moment, and finally shook his head, "I don't know. It stands to reason that the entire place would be subject to a Muggle expulsion spell, but Muggle wizards want to take their parents with them." It seems understandable to go to the game" - this is not an ordinary Muggle, they themselves know the existence of the magical world.

"I'll go back and ask my dad. He should know better than me."

Tom nodded.

At this time, Harry finally finished the exam.

Tom looked at Harry expectantly and asked him, "How did the exam go?"

Harry:…

"It's okay," he said hesitantly, "To be honest, I really can't associate those tea foam with other things... I can only find a few symbols of disaster and forcefully connect them - but Professor Trelawney seems to be quite happy with this..."

"Then does she do anything weird?" Tom asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Weird behavior? No." Harry shook his head, "Of course, if you regard her usual behavior as weird, then she does have weird behavior, every minute and every second."

Today I learned that water spinach is among the vegetables I buy at home. Does that mean I can try growing vegetables?

It is said that water spinach is a very easy vegetable to grow, but I don’t know whether it is true or not. But the process of going downstairs to collect soil is really difficult. There is no shovel...

If only I knew magic, I could just cast a spell and move a big basket of soil.

No, if I knew magic, I would just disapparate and leave!
