Chapter 133: Prophecy that requires talent, courses in the new semester (please subscribe!)



Hermione took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Since you have successfully transformed my cousin, does that mean that the 'Zen Garden' can really help in practicing Animagus?"

"Of course, the 'Zen Garden' can help you save a lot of time, but the time you consume will not be recovered." Zicomo used his spiritual power to transmit sound, and he was unable to speak in this state.

"It's amazing, I can't wait to get started.

"Don't get too happy. You'll have mandrakes in your mouth for a month, and then you'll feel better. Zicomo poured cold water on Hermione.

"Hmph, it's just a small thing for me," Hermione said with some tsundere.

Her cousin likes to beat her, it's too bad!

Must be rua hard!

Hermione jerked again at the cat in her arms.

Zicomo hurriedly stopped and said, "It's almost there, let me down quickly."

"No! I haven't had enough!"

Seeing that Hermione was unwilling to let go, Zicomo struggled to escape from Hermione's arms and returned to his original appearance.

"Almost there, it's time for us to go to class.

Hermione reluctantly walked out of the "Zen Garden" with Zicomo

.

During their third year, Hogwarts students can choose three electives from five subjects: Ancient Runes, Arithmetic Divination, Protection of Magical Creatures, Divination, and Muggle Studies.

In the beginning, Hermione wanted to take all the courses, and with the time-turner given to her by Professor McGonagall, it was not difficult.

Even if she is tired of studying, she can enter Zicomo's "Zen Garden" to quickly recover her energy.

But Zicomo stopped her and suggested that Hermione take each class to see if it worked for her before making a final decision.

Today's lesson is Trelawney's Divination Lesson, 003 Her full name is Sybill Trelawney.

Interestingly, the name Sybill in Greek mythology was a priestess favored by the sun god, who was given the power of prophecy by Apollo.

And Trelawney is the great-great-granddaughter of the true prophet, Cassandra.

Of course, it's Cassandra Trelawney, not Cassandra Walley, and it has nothing to do with the pig farm next door.

Wizards are very particular about blood inheritance. You see how many generations have passed between Voldemort and Slytherin, didn't they inherit the Parseltongue talent?

So Trelawney also has real ability, which is a kind of inheritance from blood.

It's just that with the passing of talent from generation to generation, it is already very shallow here at Trelawney.

She is only able to make truly effective predictions when she enters a state of unconsciousness occasionally. When she wakes up, she will completely forget what she said.

When Voldemort was at its peak, she was the one who predicted Harry's savior's identity.

Zicomo told Hermione what he knew about Trelawney. This move has gained a lot of worship from the little witch.

Finally he added: "This is the one course I least recommend you take."

"Is it because prophecy requires talent?" Hermione asked.

"This is indeed a reason, divination class does not have a set of rules and strict mathematical operation logic like arithmetic divination, it will only let you look at crystal balls, tea leaves, or palm reading, and summarize the inner meaning of things from these vague images . For the untalented, this is a complete blur. 35

"(bbba) There's also a reason that Professor McGonagall, it is said, doesn't seem to like Trelawney very much," 27 Zicomo whispered in Hermione's ear.

Hearing this, Hermione seemed to smell gossip, and she stared straight at Zicomo, wanting to hear the follow-up.

But this is Trelawney's class after all, and Zicomo can't speak ill of people in person.

So he turned to mental power and continued: "Trelawney is very good at some of the little tricks of the prophet, she will observe your character and behavior, and then make corresponding predictions.

And your behavioral habits will fuel this so-called prophecy on its own, pushing it toward reality. On average, Trelawney's sudden predictions do sometimes hit the mark, but they're just hers.

Professor McGonagall just saw through Trelawney's playfulness, so he didn't like her much. If you take this course, be careful that Professor McGonagall will stumble upon you.

If Hermione was born in the East, she must be very familiar with this routine. Isn't this the fortune teller under the overpass?

Try to make the prophecy as vague as possible, and leave the rest to your own brain. No matter what happens, you will subconsciously take out this prophecy for comparison, and there will always be one that can match.

The next lesson Hermione saw how Trelawney played these little tricks.

She saw Neville's tendency to get nervous, and told Neville in a naughty tone that he would break the glass. Neville was frightened by her tone, and when he was nervous, he really broke the glass.

She terrified all the students in the front row, including Harry and Ronald.

Hermione was thankful that Zicomo had pulled her to the end, she didn't want to hear bad news from Trelawney.

Hermione has since dropped the divination class. She also gave up a Muggle studies course. She was originally a wizard from a Muggle family, so why did she have to study Muggles.

To be honest, she even regretted attending a class where the professor spent a lot of time explaining some common sense in the Muggle world. It was a waste of time for Hermione.

The days that followed were very quiet.

It is worth mentioning that Rita did not make up her interview with Hermione after she went back, but she didn't know whether it was to please Zicomo or what, the interview column about Hermione was full of her compliments to Hermione.

This caused those who knew Rita to say that she must have received money.

In Fantastic Beasts class, Hagrid still invited his hippogriff friend Buckbeak.

This magical beast is the offspring of a male griffin and a mare, and although they can be tamed, they require a trained wizard to do so.

Since Malfoy became friends with Zicomo, his temperament has softened a lot, but he still couldn't help showing his arrogant look in front of Harry.

In short, he just wanted to prove that he was stronger than Harry, and that Draco was no less than Harry in his life.

Malfoy was dismissive when he saw Harry bow to the Hippogriff before he could mount it. He didn't want to bow his head to a mere beast.

So Draco went straight up, staring at the hippogriff before him, and it didn't take long for it to bend over in Hagrid's astonishment, showing submission.

Malfoy gave Harry a defiant look, didn't bother to ride Buckbeak, turned back to Slytherin's team, and enjoyed the praise his classmates had given him.

Hagrid is baffled as to why Buckbeak, whom he took so much trouble to tame, would choose to submit to a little wizard he met for the first time.

What he didn't know was that the reason for all this was from Draco's Dragon Hydra.

Due to being with Hydra for a long time, Draco was also stained with a trace of dragon might.

Although Hydra's Dragon Might is not as strong as Zicomo's Ifrit, it can still deter some magical creatures with relatively low danger.

Draco knew this too, and dared to treat Buckbeak like this.

Although Harry was a little resentful, there was nothing he could do with Draco. This was Hagrid's first class after all, and he didn't want to embarrass Hagrid, so he could only give Draco a silent glance.

The funniest was Lupin's Defence Against the Dark Arts class, where he took out a Boggart.

This magical creature will see through the heart of man and become what he fears the most.

Boggart's scary purpose seems to be to suck people's inner fear, plus it will have some of the characteristics of a deformed thing after it is transformed, so it is defined by wizards as a black magic creature.

Fortunately, the way to deal with it is very simple, just need a simple "funny" spell, or even laugh it can be eliminated. It is a relatively safe black magic creature, which is why Lupin can get one to use in class.

Neville was the first to confront Boggart, and Lupin made a simple guide first.

Knowing through questioning that Neville was most afraid of Snape, he asked Neville to try to imagine Snape in his grandma's clothes.

The cupboard that closed Boggart was opened, and a lifelike Snape stepped out.

(Really Snape came out?)

Neville waved his wand and read "Funny", and "Snape"'s attire changed from a black robe to an old lady with a red handbag and even a mink velvet scarf around her neck.

Suddenly, the whole classroom was filled with the cheerful laughter of the little wizards.

Zicomo was also very interesting to watch on the side, and even took out a camera to take a picture of him.

It is said that Snape later found out about this matter, and he found Zicomo angrily and threatened to cut off the relationship with him if Zicomo did not destroy the photo.

Zicomo doesn't care about this, but he still takes Snape's face into consideration. He said that this photo will only be used for personal collection and will not be circulated.

There is no way to get Zicomo on Snape too.

Out of anger, he decides to find the two culprits in this matter - Neville and Lupin's troubles.
