Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1006: The Cruel Truth
Professor Trelawney's prediction, like a depth bomb, made Hogwarts boil.
Most students were taken aback by the old con man's prediction that he would be expelled from Toad, and many thought it was Professor Trelawney's trick, but any student who took a divination class would know that Trelawney The professor was a liar after all, and he might have planned to use this to scare Umbridge before he was actually fired.
What's going on here?
Does Professor Trelawney know anything about divination?
No one knows this, but there is interest in Professor Trelawney's divination results for Umbridge.
In Professor Trelawney's first prophecy, Umbridge will drive out Dumbledore and become the new headmaster of Hogwarts.
This prophecy is not good news for the teachers and students of the school.
If you're willing to put your head around a bit, you can guess Umbridge's motives for coming to Hogwarts.
Who would want to leave the Deputy Minister of Magic behind, come to Hogwarts to teach, and choose the most dangerous Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, is it that they are too good?
In the second prophecy, Umbridge would get into big trouble in the Forbidden Forest and be scolded by a bunch of long-legged men.
This is a bit confusing, but the third prediction is that Umbridge will eventually be kicked out of Hogwarts, which isn't too surprising since Defence Against the Dark Arts professors are usually hard to find Hogwarts served for over a year.
The most surprising thing is the fourth prophecy, will Umbridge die in Azkaban?
This looks like Professor Trelawney is deliberately mad at Umbridge.
Professor Trelawney claims that this is the result of divination.
In order to find out the "truth" of the whole thing, the extremely curious students turned to the "prophecy expert" Albert for help.
"Professor Trelawney does possess some prophetic abilities, but her abilities are not very strong."
"As for whether Professor Trelawney's prediction to Umbridge will come true, I don't think it will be long before everyone can witness the results."
Some people suspect that Albert and Trelawney have long been complicit and touted each other; some even want to encourage Albert to make a prophecy for Umbridge to prove that he can really predict the future, but Albert Ignore these ridiculous "exciting generals".
Why does he have to prove it to others?
Umbridge, however, was **** off by Professor Trelawney's prophecy, and many people could clearly hear cursing and smashing objects as they quietly passed the corridors of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.
The Weasley Brothers' retractable ears are so popular that curious students can even use them to hear exactly what the toad is saying.
Everyone is guessing when Umbridge will drive Professor Trelawney away.
However, they are doomed, and Umbridge doesn't seem to have any plans to fire Professor Trelawney, at least not yet.
It is believed that Umbridge is worried that Professor Trelawney's prophecy will come true, as even Albert admits that Professor Trelawney has "prophetic" abilities.
I'm afraid only Umbridge knows what the actual situation is.
When the divination incident was abuzz in the school, Umbridge once again had someone handed a note to Albert inviting him to drink tea in the Defence Against the Dark Arts office. Burt asks Professor Trelawney about divination.
During her tenure at Hogwarts, Umbridge was not without success. She gathered a lot of information through her Slytherin students, and she suspected that Anderson was the master of prophecy that Professor Trelawney spoke of.
A little over a month ago, during Harry Potter's trial, he also mentioned that a famous prophecy master had done divination for him. Umbridge felt that it was probably the guy in front of him, and the one about Fudge's meeting next year The prophecy that Xia Xia will step down may also be spread by this guy.
Especially after the damned Mudblood in front of him offered an expensive divination fee of a thousand Galleons, Umbridge's mood plummeted.
Can he really predict the future?
Is Fudge really going to step down next year?
"Mr. Anderson, may I think you're trying to blackmail a professor?"
Umbridge had a disgusting smirk on her face, and she was determined to find out, no matter what, whether the guy in front of her had the ability to predict the future.
If it were anyone else, Umbridge wouldn't believe it, but this Mudblood named Albert Anderson has done too many miracles.
Another miracle is not unacceptable.
"Blackmail, I think you got it wrong." Albert raised his head and looked at Umbridge with an odd expression.
"Am I mistaken?" After Umbridge met Albert's gaze, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and he quickly looked away, not daring to look at Albert.
"You are asking me for a divination now, that is a business. The essence of business is to pay with one hand and deliver with the other." Albert drank the milk tea in the cup, and said in a cold tone, "If you want me to help You divination, you should pay me a reward, no less than a cent, no one can be an exception!"
"No one can make exceptions?" Umbridge was still smirking.
"No one can make an exception." Albert didn't care about Umbridge's malice, got up and said, "If you don't want to pay, I naturally won't help you predict."
Without giving the opponent a chance to attack, Albert already took out his wand from his robe pocket, and under Umbridge's astonished expression, he waved at her, causing Umbridge to forget most of his memories .
"Then I'll go first, I wish you a good afternoon."
Albert tucked his wand back into his pocket, nodded at Umbridge with a smile, and turned to leave the Defence Against the Dark Arts office, leaving Umbridge blank-faced.
By the time Umbridge recovered, she had forgotten about Albert's divination, and only had Albert's evaluation of Professor Trelawney in her mind.
Professor Trelawney does know the prophecies, and they succeed, so those prophecies are likely to come true?
"No, it can't be, it can't be true! That guy is a liar, everyone says she's a liar, she's a liar!"
Umbridge kept saying similar things to himself before he suppressed the fear.
Yes, Professor Trelawney is a liar, her predictions are just bluffing tricks, and Umbridge never sees his future in the crystal ball.
However, unknown to Umbridge, there are others who can help predict such a slapstick operation.
Albert had just left the Defence Against the Dark Arts office when he saw Fred, George and Lee Jordan furtively.
"What is the toad doing for you?" Fred shoved his wand back in his pocket and asked with a grin, "We were just discussing whether we should go in and help you."
All three have wands in hand, as if ready to rush into the office at any time to help Albert subdue Umbridge.
"What about the result of the consultation?" Albert asked with a smile. He knew very well that the three of them were pretending to be funny on purpose. They never worried that Albert would get into trouble with Umbridge, and it was Umbridge who should really be worried.
"George said you won't suffer."
"Toad wants me to divination for her, but I don't want to spend money..."
"How much are you going to knock her?" Li Jordan asked curiously, but he knew that asking Albert for divination would hurt his wallet.
"Not much, a thousand Galleons." Albert said flatly.
"If I were a toad, I wouldn't want to give money." The three of them were speechless.
They feel that they are not in the same unit of measurement as Albert.
"A thousand Galleons are not expensive when it comes to my future. That guy doesn't want to pay for it. He wants to use his identity as a Ministry of Magic and a senior investigator to press me," Albert spread his hands helplessly and said: "So..."
"So you gave her a hard lesson," Fred said excitedly.
"How is it possible, I'm not that violent, I just let her forget part of her memory."
"I thought you were going to be very angry." Lee Jordan is also a big guy
"Why should I be so angry?" Albert asked rhetorically, "Would you be angry with a squealing toad?"
All three felt that this was a good idea, but they were a little regretful that they didn't see Albert give Umbridge a hard lesson.
Gu HaeAlbert doesn't intend to have any conflict with Umbridge, anyway, if necessary, let the other party forget part of the memory is enough.
As for how Umbridge feels, who really cares?
This solution was learned from an employee of the Ministry of Magic while watching the Quidditch World Cup last year.
They do it themselves, of course there is no problem.
It was Umbridge's actions that made him feel stupid.
Are you used to being intimidating at the Ministry of Magic?
Or is it because the pressure has been so tight recently that Umbridge has lost his normal rational judgment and has done a series of stupid things?
"Is Professor Trelawney's prediction true?"
The three were even more curious about this, they knew that it was actually a prophecy given by Albert.
"It's true."
"Will Umbridge really die in Azkaban?"
"Yes."
"This is really exciting news."
"However, even though such prediction results are obtained, the future may actually change. The prediction involves too many cause and effect, and no one can determine what the future will look like."
"I don't understand!"
"I don't expect you to understand!" Albert sighed, "The future can be changed, but it's really hard to change the future."
Albert did try and Peter Pettigrew died prematurely.
To this end, he also personally went off the field to create opportunities for Sirius.
As soon as several people returned to the common room, Shanna immediately came over and told Albert about the Defense Association.
"Recently, everyone has been secretly spreading rumors that someone intends to re-form the Defense Association to teach everyone about Defense Against the Dark Arts." Shanna lowered her voice and said, "Everyone thought it was you."
"I'm busy and I don't have time." Albert probably guessed what was going on.
"It wasn't you?" Shanna looked at Fred and George. "You must know who it is, right? Angelina said Fred told her."
"Ahem, it's Harry, Harry's Defense Against the Dark Arts level is not low." George cleared his throat and explained under Shanna's gaze, "I think Hermione is right, it can't be. Let the toads ruin our Defense Against the Dark Arts, have to teach yourself something to protect yourself, if you're interested, you can go and see."
"Aren't Albert going?" Shanna looked at Albert, who shook his head and said, "I don't have time, and if I go, the nature may be different."
"What's different."
"They will definitely let me take everyone out of Umbridge."
"Isn't that bad?" Angelina asked.
"It's not bad, but it's meaningless. Even if Umbridge is driven out, the Ministry of Magic will send other people over to serve." Albert said with a stern tone, "Also, I think Um Richie was actually quite happy."
That's true, Umbridge has been at Hogwarts for less than a month, and he did bring a lot of joy and laughter to everyone.
"How is Harry Potter's Defence Against the Dark Arts?" Shanna asked George, turning her head. "We can really learn something."
"Everyone communicates and learns from each other." George shrugged and said, "What we learned is the "Guide to Self-Defense" compiled by Albert."
"Oh, that book came out?" Shanna knew about it.
"It hasn't been published yet, don't look at me, I don't have it here either." Fred shrugged and said, "It is said that Granger has a copy there, but I haven't seen the real thing."
"When?" Shanna hesitated for a moment, but decided to go check it out. Her defense against the dark arts is not very high. If you want to get good grades in the test, you have to put more effort into it.
As for whether Harry is a liar or not, with a little brains, it wouldn't bother him.
……
After nightfall, with the lights still on in the headmaster's office, Dumbledore looked at the memory of the Pensieve on the table and fell into a brief thought.
Dumbledore is naturally concerned about the latest Trelawney divination incident at Hogwarts, which has caused a stir, especially in the divination that he will temporarily lose the position of headmaster, which reminds Dumbledore of A conversation:
I see that you lost your position as principal.
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the principal's office.
"Come in, Minerva, what's the matter?" Dumbledore looked at Professor McGonagall who appeared outside the door with some surprise.
"I remember something about the recent prophecy."
Professor McGonagall glanced at the Pensieve on the table, put the wand directly on the temple, and pulled out a memory.
The two turned their attention to the Pensieve, which contained a conversation between Professor McGonagall and Albert:
...By the way, the next headmaster of Hogwarts is Professor Snape, if a certain pink toad doesn't count.
"This is the employment consultation from the previous year." Professor McGonagall said to Dumbledore, "Honestly, most of his predictions have come true. The pink toad here should be referring to Umbridge, who was arrested some time ago. turned into a toad."
In the past, Professor McGonagall didn't really care much about these things, and wasn't interested in divination.
However, Voldemort was resurrected, and many of Albert's prophecies were fulfilled, and she had to start looking at them.
"Actually, Mr. Anderson told me before that I would temporarily lose the position of Headmaster." Dumbledore was calm, as if it were a trivial matter, "What to drink."
"Why do you still say this so calmly, if Umbridge becomes the principal~IndoMTL.com~ God knows what the whole school will look like."Professor McGonagall was a little excited.
"The prophecy of Trelawney is not quite her style." Dumbledore smiled and handed a cup of hot cocoa to Professor McGonagall, "That should be the prophecy made by Anderson, the crystal ball divination It's always been Anderson's trick."
"So, Sybil's prophecy is true?" Professor McGonagall's face suddenly turned ugly, as if thinking of something bad.
"Mr Anderson is not a liar, for him the truth is sometimes crueler." Dumbledore took a sip of hot cocoa and stared at the changes in the Pensieve.
"In what circumstances do you think Severus would be the Headmaster." Professor McGonagall asked in a low voice.
Dumbledore was silent.
What's the situation?
"When Voldemort took control of Hogwarts," Dumbledore said quietly.
Both know exactly what that means.
If Dumbledore were alive, obviously this would not have been allowed to happen.
This is also the reason why Professor McGonagall came to Dumbledore in a hurry, because when she was talking to Professor Flitwick tonight about Sybil's prophecy, she recalled Albert's divination.
"It's not that bad," Dumbledore reassured.
In fact, long ago, Dumbledore deduced from Albert's few words that he might die soon.
Honestly, Dumbledore wasn't too worried about these issues, because in Albert's prophecy, Harry defeated Voldemort, and that was enough.
When faced with death, Dumbledore was not afraid. Death was just a whole new adventure for him, but before he set off, he needed to do everything he had to do.
