Because he got a Sybill Trelawney Card (Gold), Sean added the divination class that was originally excluded from the plan to the schedule. The description of the cardâs effect is astonishing, an absolutely accurate prediction of the future that will not be changed.
Prior to this, Sean had no way of knowing the specific content of the prophecy. It can be a trivial matter or some big prediction. Of course, if he predicted his own terrible future, he could only wait for the time to come.
Whether it is to put the card at the bottom of the box or to use the card more reliably and safely in the future, Sean decided to take Professor Trelawneyâs class. After all, the name of the professor is written on the card.
When Sean walked into the Divination classroom and sat down in the armchair, he couldnât help sighing.
The room full of pungent aromas was so hot that it made people sweat. All the curtains were drawn tightly, and a hazy red light shone on the small round table in front of Sean. Beside the blazing fireplace stood a great heap of teacups, crystal balls, quills, and burnt candle stubs.
There is a large pile of playing cards at the very end. Sean bets that if Ian saw this, he would faint. Seanâs impression of Professor Trelawney is a teacher who has inherited some prophetic abilities but likes to mess with the students.
In the original plot, Professor Trelawneyâs real predictions are all accurate. But her predictions in a normal state seem to be something that every bad fortune-teller will do. Sean remembered that the professorâs predictions seemed to have come true, so he went to Percy and Cedric later to confirm it.
Because Sean always felt that most of those predictions were false. After all, everyone will encounter unlucky things, and this professor seems to be very good at observing other peopleâs problems. Especially Sean has seen a true Seer like Grindelwald.
As expected, both Cedric and Percy gave the same information. Professor Trelawney almost predicted everyoneâs bad luck, but very few of them came true. In other words, if you bet on all six numbers on the dice, you will always win one.
After thinking about it, Sean still made up his mind to study it. Itâs just that Professor Trelawney gave everyone a âdismissalâ when she came. The professor collapsed in terror the moment she walked into the classroom.
âWhat did I seeâ¦â She panted heavily, âI seeâ¦â
The other students were terrified. A girl wanted to help Professor Trelawney up, but she was afraid.
âNo, no need⦠I, Iâm fineâ¦â
She stood up trembling, took a cup of hot tea out of nowhere, and took a sip before calming down.
âItâs terrible⦠donât ask me. Donât ask me what happened.â
âProfessor, what did you see?â someone asked immediately.
Professor Trelawney touched her chest and replied in shock, âUnknown, I saw a huge unknown among you. I saw death, I saw disaster!â
The students covered their mouths in horror, but Sean and Hermione looked at each other, seeing the helplessness in their eyes.
Frankly speaking, if this is the first meeting, Sean may feel that Professor Trelawney has seen the Pride in his body, but he has been at Hogwarts for two years. However, he and Professor Trelawney have barely made any contact with him.
When Parvati nervously asked about the specific content, Professor Trelawney just shook her head, âThe veil of the future is vague and terrifying. Itâs not what you should know. You will understand yourself when you learn the real art of divination from me. Provided that you really have the talent to see through the fog.â
Without Professor McGonagallâs professional demonstration and without Professor Flitwickâs entertaining teaching, Professor Trelawney still shocked most of the students at the beginning. At least, most of the students are very convinced of this.
However, Sean and Hermione were obviously not buying it.
At the beginning of the class, Professor Trelawney made a few more small predictions aimed at a certain student.
Sean drank the tea, shook it in the cup three times, turned the cup upside down on the tray, waited until the last drop of tea leaked out, and then handed it to Hermione, âCan you see whatâs in it?â
Her face was tense, and she kept turning her face back and forth between the pages of the book and Seanâs tea leaves.
âIt looks like an iron felt, which means youâll get a gift from someone recently or a weapon?â Hermione said uncertainly.
âWell, that sounds good.â
âIf you turn the cup like this, this looks like a door. This means that you will encounter difficulties, and whether you can solve them smoothly depends on whether the doorknob is pushed open. Damn it, I canât see clearly .â
Sean shrugged his shoulders, âActually, I have encountered a lot of trouble since I entered school.â
âDonât make any noise, ââIâm thinking. My God, canât the book clearly list the observation directions?â Hermione looked very angry.
Sean wisely stopped provoking Hermioneâs anger. He picked up the girlâs teacup and began to observe.
âWell, it looks like a pile of dirt. Let me see. There is no interpretation of this in the book. Oh, please donât hit me, Hermione. Itâs just a metaphor!â
Professor Trelawney was patrolling the classroom and saw Sean. She walked over and snatched the cup from Seanâs hand, and after turning around to observe it, she once again showed that dramatic expression, âMy child, what is this?â Itâs an omen, a bad omen to remind you that you are walking on a road full of thorns. There is a disagreement between you and order. It is very dangerous, very dangerousâ¦â
The students all looked over, and Ron behind Sean murmured, âSean was taken away by Grindelwald last time.â
Immediately, the eyes of the others looking at Sean were full of horror.
Only Hermione put the teacup on the table and looked at Professor Trelawney quietly, âProfessor, thatâs my teacup.â
Sean almost laughed out loud.
Trelawney glanced at Hermione, âYes, of course I know. This is my reminder to you.â
As she said that, she picked up the teacup that really belonged to Sean, âCrown. You have a real talent. You have a prestige that ordinary people canât have.â
âYes, everyone knows,â Hermione said calmly, âSean is very popular, and his grades are also very good.â
Professor Trelawney retorted, âThatâs prestige.â
Harry sat back on the chair, with his hands on the back of the chair, âSeanâs prestige is very high. Before he went to Nurmengard last time, he made big achievements before.â
Professor Trelawney ignored the two of them. She looked at the teacup and continued, âEyes, you are being watched.â
She widened her eyes, âThis! The second pair of eyes. My God, you are being targeted by a terrible existence. This is, this is, unknown!â
She was out of breath again.
âWhat does that mean?â Lavender asked nervously.
âThatâs⦠Thatâs⦠No! Donât ask me!â Professor Trelawney took a last look at Sean, âMy child, you have to be careful. The thing you are most worried about right now is coming true. Maybe thereâs a disaster coming your way!â
After finishing speaking, she ran away from Sean. Many people subconsciously took half a step back.
Sean held his forehead and was speechless. He had thought about it before he came because he was taken away by Grindelwald and parasitized by Voldemort. He is relatively special among the students.
Just like in the original book, she predicted that Harry would encounter something unknown.
The reality is that the thing that Harry met representing death was Sirius, and Harry did not lose his life until the end. Now, this embarrassing thing came to Seanâs head.
Sean sighed secretly.
Apparently, he doesnât really learn anything about divination from Professor Trelawney. Maybe, like Grindelwald once told him, you can learn spells, you can practice transfiguration, or make friends with magical animals.
But prophecy depends entirely on talent.
When Sean walked out of the classroom, Hermione followed beside her, holding her cup.
âSheâs totally scaremongering!â Hermione said in a low voice.
Sean smiled helplessly, âBelieve it how you will. But Professor Trelawneyâs method seems to work well among many students.â
âThatâs because they are naturally inclined to the mysterious side, especially students from wizard families.â Harry followed up from behind and patted Sean on the shoulder with a smile.
âWhat about you? Professor Trelawney predicted that you will fall from a height soon.â Sean replied with a smile.
Harry shrugged, âWood recently raised the intensity of training again. Besides, who hasnât fallen off a broomstick while playing Quidditch?â
Neville, who was reminded by Trelawney to be concerned about his grandmotherâs health, held his chin and said, âMy grandmother is looking for someone to order dentures recently. By the way, the last tooth is about to fall out. Does this count as a medical condition? â
âWhy doesnât it count?â Ron interjected, âSean, what are you most worried about recently?â
âMe?â Sean smiled, âFor now, Iâm most worried that there wonât be my favorite lamb chops on the table at noon today.â
Half an hour later, Ron waved to Sean, then horrifiedly pointed to the table.
Sean understood what he meant, no lamb chops today.
Shaking his head and turning back to the table, Sean took his second favorite steak and put it on the plate.
On the side, Daisy stood up and took a piece of shepherdâs pie. She put the pie on Seanâs plate and said cautiously, âItâs filled with mutton meat. What do you think? â
Sean took a spoonful and put it in his mouth, then said with a bitter face, âThis taste⦠why does this thing have to be cooked with potato?â
âBut at least itâs mutton. Consider it the same as lamb chops!â
Hermione took a sip of pumpkin juice and said calmly, âThe types of food at Hogwarts change every day. Lamb chops have never been a fixed dish, and the British themselves rarely eat mutton. Also, Sean didnât believe in divination and prophecy stuff, so this happens to him.â
Sean stuffed the rest into Daisyâs mouth, âI care more about you two now. After all, you are about to face the biggest challenge since you entered school.â
Daisy blushed, quickly chewed, and swallowed the pie, âI think the taste is okay. At least itâs much better than the leaves.â
Sean saw the jade and said with a smile, âWhen you have a real Mandrake in your mouth, you will know what the taste of a dragonâs dung will be.â
âSean, weâre eating.â Hermione glared at him.
âIsnât this to make you mentally prepare in advance? By the way, I suggest not to drink elderflower dew for a month. It will amplify the smell of the dragonâs dung scent.â
âDonât say it, donât say it!â Daisy covered her ears. She usually likes sparkling water made of elderflower dew the most.
Sean happily ate his lunch. Because of Trelawneyâs prophecy, countless people have already watched him. With Daisyâs frowning, he suddenly became much happier.
Hermione gave him a disgusted look, âChildish.â
âWhen the full moon begins, your mouth will be full ofâ¦â
Hermione cut him off angrily, âChildish!â
Sean just laughed.
