Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1005: The Prophecy of Trelawney
The position of Defence Against the Dark Arts professor is a complete mess!
This was the deepest feeling Umbridge felt during his tenure at Hogwarts.
She has forgotten how many times she's flipped through the archives of successive Defence Against the Dark Arts professors. Since Harry Potter went to school at Hogwarts, the wizards of several Defense Against the Dark Arts professors who have served have been extremely brutal.
Professor Quirrell, dead.
Professor Lockhart, turned idiot, forever in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries.
Professor Lupin is disgraced and nearly sent to Azkaban for attacking students.
Professor Moody, kept in a box from start to finish. And Barty Crouch Jr., who served in his place, had an even worse end. He was directly sucked out of his soul by the Dementors and died very badly.
Professor Smith, who was missing before Harry Potter came to school, has never been found, and is presumably dead.
While Umbridge is reluctant to believe in the so-called curse, it's no coincidence that no Defence Against the Dark Arts professor has been on the job for more than a year in decades.
No wonder Dumbledore couldn't recruit professors willing to serve.
Umbridge couldn't feel better at the thought of jumping into the pit.
If this trend continues, she will most likely die before the end of the semester, as the group of students said.
Umbridge will not wait to die, and she plans to resign from the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor before the end of the semester to avoid the curse.
This is the best solution she's come up with after researching the archives for so long.
Any Defence Against the Dark Arts professor who resigned early was lucky enough to get away with it.
It's just that, as a professor sent by the Ministry of Magic to serve at Hogwarts, Umbridge can't give up her position as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, let alone her own influence at Hogwarts, so she needs to Other positions, such as Senior Inquisitor, or Headmaster of Hogwarts.
Replacing Dumbledore as the new Headmaster of Hogwarts is Umbridge's ultimate goal, and as long as this task can be accomplished, nothing will be a problem.
It's just that, during Umbridge's stay at Hogwarts, he failed to catch Dumbledore's handle, and instead was embarrassed by a series of pranks.
Umbridge's mood gets worse at the thought of the recent emergence of the Anti-Toad Coalition.
Especially when the Ministry of Magic has recently circulated the prophecy that Minister of Magic Fudge will be ousted from office next summer, it really made her feel even more upset.
Umbridge doesn't believe in prophecy, but that doesn't mean you don't need to prepare in advance.
Helping the Ministry of Magic gain a foothold at Hogwarts was one of her main tasks at Hogwarts.
As long as it can be done, there is basically no need to worry about being abandoned by the Ministry of Magic. The Ministry of Magic will not easily give up a deputy minister with strong wrists and strong execution ability.
And at the heart of this plan is the placement of professors at Hogwarts.
Senior Inquisitors have the power to expel unqualified professors.
In Umbridge's mind, there are three people who are suitable targets.
The first is Hagrid, the half-blooded giant in the Conservation of Magical Creatures class. According to the information provided by the Slytherin students, Hagrid's Conservation of Magical Creatures class is quite bad, especially last semester's fried tail snail caused a lot of trouble .
It's a pity that Hagrid, the big man, was not at school. He got away with it, but it didn't hinder Umbridge's determination to fire Hagrid.
It's just that, after Hagrid's dismissal, Professor Wilmina Grapland is likely to be the new professor of Protection of Magical Creatures, who prefers Dumbledore to the Ministry of Magic.
Second is Sybill Trelawney from the Divination class. According to information provided by the Slytherin students, the students call Trelawney an old liar.
If Trelawney were driven away, Umbridge felt that Dumbledore would not be able to find a suitable divination professor to fill the vacancy any time soon.
After all, there are far too few wizards who actually know how to divination.
The last one is Professor Keridi Boubaji in Muggle Studies.
The professor once put forward some theories that didn't make the pure-bloods very happy, "he said that there is not much difference between muggles and wizards", which made those pure-bloods very dissatisfied, and hoped that Dumbledore would She was fired and replaced with a new professor of Muggle Studies, but was undoubtedly rejected by Dumbledore.
If you can fire Professor Keridi Boubaji and replace her with one that everyone likes, she will undoubtedly gain the support of the purebloods.
Umbridge is well aware that both she and Fudge need the support of the pureblood faction.
Actually, Fudge has already achieved some results.
The next day, Umbridge went to the divination classroom on the top of the North Tower, as planned, with the questionnaire and writing board prepared in advance.
When she pushed open the trapdoor and entered the divination classroom, she found Professor Trelawney staring at her blankly, her eyes very unfriendly, as if she was looking at the enemy, making Umbridge's face look The fake smiles froze.
In the divination classroom, the students who had just received the dream interpretation guide noticed the change in the atmosphere at the scene. They were all surprised to find that Professor Trelawney had a strong hostility towards toads.
Everyone looked at Umbridge, wondering what the **** the toad had done.
"Good afternoon, Professor Trelawney."
Professor Umbridge found a secluded seat and sat down, resuming the smirk of the signature exam, "I'm sure you must have received my notice that it says to check the time and date of your class. ."
"I got it." Professor Trelawney still didn't look away, "I also predicted... I'll be fired by you."
Professor Trelawney's remarks shocked all the students in the divination classroom, and everyone was whispering, trying to figure out what the old crook was up to!
"Is the old liar taking the wrong medicine?"
"Could it be that the old liar knew that he could not pass the test, so he planned to fool the toad in this way?" Ron muttered in a low voice, which immediately attracted the glare of the two girls around him.
Gu XianIn any case, it is undoubtedly something everyone likes to see and hear about the old liar.
Harry guesses what's going on.
Professor Trelawney's stubbornness against Umbridge is obviously not normal, and 80% of the abnormal things that happen at Hogwarts are behind someone who is deliberately targeting Professor Umbridge. .
Is Professor Trelawney not afraid of being fired?
No, I knew that I would be fired, so I was not afraid, so I dared to vent my anger against the toad.
Who is behind the scenes is ready to tell.
Harry suddenly looked forward to what would happen next.
"Oh!" Professor Umbridge has been rolling around in the Ministry of Magic for decades, his face is thicker than a book, and his face is quickly put on a fake smirk: "Whether you are fired, I need to check you Making decisions after class."
"In the last two months, as for the specific time..." Professor Trelawney, still staring at Umbridge, said in a bad tone: "You won't get it, there will be a nasty guy to take over. This job."
"You don't have class?"
Umbridge frowned slightly and changed the subject. She suspected it was Professor Trelawney's trick.
"This lesson was originally intended to explain dreams, but... if you have any questions, just ask!"
Umbridge was also very surprised at the strong hostility towards Professor Trelawney, and no other professor at Hogwarts has shown such staggering hostility towards her.
It doesn't seem surprising, though, that Trelawney is hostile to her, considering she's about to fire an unqualified professor.
"Okay!" Umbridge asked, looking up at Trelawney, "How long have you been in this position."
"Almost sixteen years," Trelawney said to herself, "Dumbledore used mine, I am the great-great-granddaughter of the seer Cassandra Trelawney, and I know myself well. What is the situation, you don't need to question whether I have a "Heavenly Eye", if you want to prophesy, I think we can start, and then you can leave."
Umbridge frowned slightly, realizing that the question he wanted to ask was answered in one breath. She took the pen and quickly wrote something on her clipboard, when Trelawney brought a crystal ball and placed it on the cushion in front of her.
"Put your hand on the crystal ball, I can't wait to see your future," Trelawney said maliciously to Umbridge, "Hogwarts Defence Against the Dark Arts. The professor has always been unlucky because of the curse, I really wonder if you can leave your job alive, please!"
Umbridge's face darkened when she heard the words. She hesitated for a moment before putting her hand on the crystal ball.
At this moment, all the students left their seats one after another and surrounded the two of them, wanting to see the results of the toad's divination.
No way, who made the old liar so imposing?
However, everyone is destined to be disappointed, nothing has changed in the crystal ball.
Everyone looked up at Trelawney, and the expression on Umbridge's face was even more bizarre.
Trelawney, who had been staring at the crystal ball, suddenly spoke up.
"You're going to be unlucky, unlucky, because you're being watched."
"I didn't see anything." Umbridge smirked, as if trying to debunk Trelawney's ridiculous lies.
"That's because you don't have the Celestial Eye, and I'm not a good fortune teller." Trelawney looked up at Umbridge with a sneer at the corners of her mouth, "You don't know anything about fortune telling. As far as I know, only the Master of Prophecy can meet your requirements, and the other party will not look at you at all."
Before Umbridge had a seizure, Trelawney continued, "I see you kick Dumbledore out and become...if you count as the Headmaster. In fact, you can't even get into the Headmaster's office. ."
"I'll give you a piece of advice, don't go into the Forbidden Forest, or those leggy guys will teach you an unforgettable lesson, but I don't think you'll listen. I also saw the caretaker send you out of Hogwarts, And Peeves set off firecrackers behind you to celebrate you getting out, by the way..." Professor Trelawney put her face in front of Umbridge, shook her head sympathetically, "I saw you eventually die in Aziz Kaban Prison, what a misfortune."
"How dare you..." Umbridge's cheeks flushed, looking like a volcano that could erupt at any moment.
"This is the divination you asked for, I didn't lie to you on purpose." Professor Trelawney completely entered the mode of mutual harm: "And after you get out of Hogwarts, I will return to Hogwarts. Gwartz taught."
"Don't be angry, if you think the free one is unreliable, you can find a fortune-teller to divination the future at your own expense." Professor Trelawney laughed happily: "The premise is that you can find someone who is willing to fortune-telling for you, according to As far as I know, after Cassandra Wabraski was admitted to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries, there was only one wizard left in the UK who was capable of divination for the future."
"You..." Umbridge's eyes twinkled dangerously, "Do you think it's funny to insult me like that?"
"Insult? No, I think you're mistaken, it was indeed the result of divination, and I'm not interested in insulting you!" Professor Trelawney took the crystal ball and said to Umbridge calmly, "Now you can go."
Umbridge slammed the door in a fit of rage and left.
"You can't expect me to look good on someone who's about to fire me." Trelawney said blankly to the students below, "Not to mention I didn't insult her, that's exactly what was predicted. ."
"Professor, are those prophecies true?"
"Of course it's true." Professor Trelawney reminded: "I told you as early as the first class~IndoMTL.com~ that without the Third Eye, the second vision, you would not be able to Going further in divination. Hogwarts never expected you to become masters of prophecy, because there are very few people who can really predict the future. I have taught for 16 years, and only met Mr. Anderson. "
"What's the point of divination then?" Someone couldn't help asking.
"Let you understand what divination is, and understand some of the most superficial knowledge, such as palm reading, reading tea leaves, divination with Carrot cards, and reading dreams." Trelawney looked around the crowd and said calmly, "If you don't go to this place, How do you know if you have a talent for divination? People with talent will soon stand out after systematic study, while those without talent can only do that.”
"Okay, let's cherish the little time we have now!"
"Professor, do you really have the gift of prophecy?" a Hufflepuff student asked, but he soon realized that his words were rude.
"Sorry Professor, I..."
Harry has a say in this more than anyone here, the old liar Trelawney does have the ability to predict, but she can't control it at all, and sometimes doesn't even know what she's doing.
"Yes, but weak and unstable." Trelawney curled her lips, confident because of Albert's own admission.
"Since Cassandra, there hasn't been a second truly powerful Master of Prophecy in my family," Trelawney said helplessly. "It's actually quite normal. As far as I know. , Cassandra Vabrsky's descendants did not inherit much of her prophetic ability. In this world, there are not many masters of prophecy who can truly meet Umbridge's requirements."
