Chapter 35 1999 Confidentiality Agreement
The first class in the third grade is divination class, with the classroom on the top of the north tower.
Since Professor Trelawney came to Hogwarts, he has lived in this slightly remote place.
Ten minutes before class, William, Qiu and Marietta arrived at a platform.
A group of people were waiting on the platform.
It turns out that there are no stairs nearby, and the door to the divination classroom is on the ceiling, where there is a trap door.
Chic classroom!
At this time, the trap door suddenly opened and a silver ladder fell down.
Everyone started line up and slowly climbed the silver stairs.
Thanks to Professor Trelawney's "good reputation", there are many students who choose this course, and everyone regards it as a compulsory course for mixed grades.
William climbed over the ladder and entered a quirky classroom.
Actually, this is not a classroom at all, but rather a mixture of lofts and old-fashioned teahouses.
If there are still old men with melon seeds and stories about melons holding a canopy, it would be even more similar.
There were at least twenty small round tables crowded in this classroom. Each table was surrounded by Indian calico armchairs and bulging cushions.
Everything was illuminated by a dim scarlet light; the curtains were drawn, and many of the lamps were covered with dark red lampshades.
Judging from the decorative style, it looks like those special places that William had seen in his previous life, located in some deep alleys, unknown but always found.
William also specifically studied why he should dress in red.
The red light is eye-catching, and a red light in the dark night is like a lighthouse in the sea, warm and fascinating.
The red light also gives people a mysterious color, urging people to enter the dark place... to explore.
William looked around and was in a mess, like most single women's rooms.
The round walls are surrounded by shelves, covered with dusty feathers, candle heads, shabby playing cards, countless silver crystal balls and a large pile of tea sets.
It seems that I haven't cleaned up for many years.
When everyone entered the classroom, a sound suddenly came from the shadow, which was a trance-like, vague voice.
A bit like Luna's style.
"Welcome," the voice said, "It's great to see you in the tangible world."
Professor Trelawney walked into the place where the fire was shining. She was very thin and wearing a pair of big glasses.
She was wearing a light and transparent gala-like shawl on her shoulders, countless necklaces and beads hung around her slender neck, and bracelets and rings on her arms and hands.
It looks like an old antique!
Of course it may also be fake.
"Sit, my children, sit." Trelawney seemed very happy to see so many students.
"I'm very happy and sad to be honest with you guys being able to show up here."
"I am happy that you are all willing to follow me into the prophetic world, and sad..."
Professor Trelawney suddenly choked up and wiped his nose with a floral handkerchief.
"Sorry, I'm a little out of my composure."
"Professor, what happened?" Judy Crouch of Slytherin College asked boldly.
"You're sick, we don't need to take this class?" Jon Hart speculated excitedly.
"You were fired by Professor Dumbledore?" Elena Caslina said excitedly.
"I will not be fired if you are fired." Professor Trelawney glared at her and then sighed.
"Oh, believe me, ignorance is a blessing, children, you will not want to know."
Everyone was even more curious when Professor Trelawney said this.
"I can't tell you, really!" Professor Trelawney shook his head, "This is about a prophecy, a millennium prophecy.
In 1999, the wizards would sign a confidentiality agreement on this matter... Don't ask, I can't say, although it's only 92 years now!
Saying it out will affect the timeline of the future and cause unpredictable disasters.
Maybe everyone will die!”
Everyone looked at each other, and when she heard what she meant, it seemed that 2000 was the end of the world.
William raised his eyebrows. Could it be the famous battle to defend the earth in his previous life?
But to be honest, Professor Trelawney is really like a charlatan, especially in attracting the attention of the little wizard, he is really good at it!
After fooling everyone, Trelawney sat in an armchair in front of the fireplace, her eyes closed tightly, and her voice drifted.
"No matter what the future is, I'm welcome to take my divination class.
Being able to choose this course means that everyone has some wisdom. They will go further than those children who have taken other courses."
William and Qiu looked at each other and listened to Professor Trelawney's tone. The students who didn't come to her class were all fools.
Professor Trelawney carefully reorganized the shawl and continued, "If you choose divination class, you should be enlightened. This will be the most difficult course of all the magical arts you face.
Yes, I noticed that many students have taught "Intermediate Transformation". I must say that the difficulty of this course is far more difficult than that of Transformation.
Even Minerva must admit this.”
Everyone showed doubtful eyes. They didn't know whether it was difficult to transform the technique, but divination is famous for being a good person.
As long as you have some ability to lie.
And this ability is innate to many people, especially witches.
"I know everyone is suspicious. After class, you can ask Professor McGonagall what grades she got in her divination class during the O.W.Ls level exam."
Professor Trelawney continued: “Before class, I must remind you: If you do not have the ‘view’, then there is very little thing I can teach you, and this requires talent.
I have no intention of boasting, but in this era, there are few prophets with a broad vision like me.
Otherwise, how could Professor Dumbledore invite me to teach this course?
By the way, he raised my salary last year just to keep me, although I had seen this with Tianmu long ago."
Regarding this issue, everyone also wants to know that many senior students believe that Professor Trelawney is Dumbledore's illegitimate daughter.
She walked around the classroom like a ghost.
"Many witches and witches, although they are very talented in making violent impacts, smells and sudden invisibility, cannot clear the fog and see through the future."
Professor Trelawney continued, her huge and glowing eyes surfing the crowd.
"Only a few people have this talent. You, child," she suddenly said to Judy Crouch, "How is your uncle?"
"I think it's good." Judy shrank her head.
"Oh, I don't think so, he's going to have big trouble."
Professor Trelawney was intimidated and fooled, and finally mobilized everyone's attention.
