Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 195: Bad omen

Since the last Witcher's Card Club promotion, more Hogwarts students know about the game The Witcher's Card. Several students even expressed their desire to have cards unique to their own academies, and were willing to join the Wizards Card Club to help Albert design brand new cards.

This is conducive to the promotion of wizard cards. As long as wizard cards enter other academies, the number of players will definitely be gradually expanded. Albert believes that it will not be long before more and more students will like this card game, which is easy to learn, has various ways to play, and can freely design various strategies.

Currently, the biggest problem with wizard cards is the number of players. As long as everyone is playing wizard cards, other people will definitely be curious and follow the trend. Albert believes that the charm of wizard cards can conquer everyone.

However, the design and manufacture of cards is still a hassle. While Fred, George and Lee Jordan were all helping him as much as possible, most of the time it was still up to Albert to do it himself.

Speaking of which, there are quite a few things I need to worry about.

The design and manufacture of wizard cards, magic training and homework in various courses, frequent correspondence with other wizards, regular weekly borrowing of books from the library, and research on perfecting protective bracelets are still going on. The research on using ancient rune to cast spells has not progressed so far. The manuscripts written for "Transfiguration Today", the Magic Club also has academic research, and occasionally finds time to practice Patronus spells, and search for books related to Occlumency in the forbidden book area. .

Felch was brooding about what happened last semester, and he stepped up the night patrol of the castle as soon as school started. Snape would occasionally help patrol, so that Albert would directly dispel the idea of ​​​​going to the forbidden book area in the middle of the night.

He doesn't want to be the next unlucky **** who gets caught on a night out, and by the way, Gryffindor with a fifty-point deduction goes straight to the bottom.

If you insist on anything good recently, it's probably Albert's small breakthrough in ancient Rune!

Professor Bathcida Babling is indeed an expert in this field, with high attainments in the field of ancient rune.

Every Tuesday afternoon, Albert will go to Professor Babuling's Ancient Rune Improvement Class, and stay after class to exchange ancient Rune with Professor Babuling.

Not long ago, they also researched, analyzed, and discussed McDoug's "Basic Rune Complete Solution" and "Advanced Rune Research" together, and Albert's rune experience also increased dramatically.

Today, Albert's Rune experience is more than half of level 2.

Professor Babbling is the Rune Professor at Hogwarts, but she doesn't actually live in the castle herself and only has five classes a week. There are only four students in the Ancient Rune Advanced Class, two Ravenclaw, one Slytherin, one Hufflepuff, and Albert who came to visit.

Originally, Ancient Rune was an elective course for the third grade, and even fewer students could pass O·W·Ls with good grades. There are only two or three kittens in the advanced class.

Of course, the ancient rune is not the worst, and there is no advanced class for Muggle studies at all.

A good O.w.Ls certificate in Muggle Studies will allow you to work as a Muggle liaison at the Ministry of Magic.

As for the advanced classes for divination, mathematical divination and the protection of magical biology, the number of people is also pitiful, and there are very few people who can really learn from the advanced classes and use them after graduation.

After graduating from school, it is not uncommon for a career to be misaligned with a major.

After the get out of class bell rang, several people greeted each other and left.

Albert did not leave, he will stay and continue the last exchange with Professor Babel.

"How do you feel?" Professor Babbling asked gently. This is the advantage of being an excellent student. The relationship between the two is actually pretty good.

"It's okay, the content of the class is not difficult, I have mastered most of it." Albert flipped through the notes and said.

"You should already have the level of N·E·W·T." Professor Babbling said softly. Although some people have the talent to learn ancient rune, but the talent like Albert, it is also the first time that Professor Babuling was stunned.

"The difficulty is lower than I thought." Albert said.

"N·E·W·T is really not that difficult." Professor Babbling explained, "What is difficult is how to go further in this area after graduating from Hogwarts, we only learn the tip of the iceberg. , those who have studied as deeply as Mr. McDougall are, after all, only a minority."

Albert nods and admits that he can't tell from the few who can fully understand Advanced Rune Research.

Footsteps sounded outside the corridor of the ancient classroom on the sixth floor, followed by a knock on the door.

Isobel pushed open the door and walked in. She is also good at ancient runes and has McDoug's connection, and Professor Barbring has allowed her to participate in this extra exchange outside of class.

Professor Babbling waved her wand, and several people's favorite refreshments and cookies appeared on the table. This was not a serious class, but a good atmosphere.

Sitting on the comfortable sofa and enjoying afternoon tea, after two classes in a row, Professor Babling was also a little tired.

The conversation started after the three had their first cup of afternoon tea.

"The subject of our study today is rune (magic stone) divination."

"I remember that there seems to be a divination class in the third grade, and it seems to teach how to use runes for divination?" Albert looked up at Isobel and asked, "Did you choose a divination class? "

However, after seeing the change in the expression on the other's face, Albert already guessed the answer. Obviously, this Ravenclaw genius is very similar to Professor McGonagall, thinking that choosing a divination class is purely in vain effort.

"I don't have that kind of talent." Isobel picked up the teacup and sipped, glanced at Albert and said lightly, "Maybe, you have."

"Sybil is good at this, and I specially invited her to come over." Professor Babuling saw that the two seemed to be not very interested in runes divination, so he said, "Rune divination is an ancient British A kind of divination. It is said that it is very accurate, but there are not many wizards who really know how to interpret the divination of runes. Fortunately, Sybil has some research in this field."

Albert couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard the words, and said in simple words, "I heard... divination requires talent, and only a few people have that kind of talent."

As far as he knows, most students take divination classes purely to make a fool of themselves, and they don't care if they get good grades in OWLs.

After graduation, almost zero wizards will be engaged in divination. After all, a fortune-teller with no ability to predict is no different from a liar, and no one would welcome such a liar.

Sybill Trelawney does have the ability to predict the future, but her ability is uncontrollable, and she can't make predictions through crystal **** like other fortune-tellers, and directly see certain prophecies Fragment.

"Sybill should have this ability." Professor Babbling was also not sure, she knew that her friend had the ability to predict, after all, she was the great-great-granddaughter of the famous fortune-teller Cassandra Trelawney , and the ability of prophecy is often passed down through the bloodline.

While the three of them were chatting around ancient runes, runes and runes, the door of the ancient rune classroom was knocked again, and the people the three of them were talking about appeared outside the door.

This is Albert's first close encounter with Sybill Trelawney.

It was a very thin woman with big glasses and a bunch of chains and beads around her neck. She looked a little crazy, maybe she just didn't want people to find out.

"Oh, Bathceda, I hope I'm not too late." Trelawney stuck her head into the classroom, her eyes falling on Albert and Isobel.

"I mentioned it to you." Professor Babbling invited Professor Trelawney into the classroom with a smile. This helps a lot, you're an expert on it after all."

"Oh, rune divination, this is an ancient science, and there are very few wizards who are really good at this kind of divination." Trelawney walked in and sat next to Professor Barbring. , took out an exquisite bag from his pocket, "... Now, I will only briefly mention in the divination class that predicting the future from tea residues and crystal **** is easier for most students, at least they You can find the answer by referring to books. Of course, students without the talent of "Tianmu" can only do this in this subject."

Professor Trelawney's words are not wrong. Divination requires talent. If you don't have talent and you can't predict, you will only be regarded as a liar and won't get any respect.

Trelawney opened the delicate bag and poured out the runes inside. She reached out and stroked the symbol on it. She said "thank you" to Professor Boblin who brought the black tea to her, and continued: "The symbols on each rune tell the stories and mysteries contained in the symbols of ancient writing...and can also be used to seek the desired results."

Albert took a bite of a biscuit, listened quietly to Trelawney's nagging, and smiled at Isobel, who was frequently drinking black tea, who seemed a little agitated, and she clearly didn't believe Trelawney's nonsense.

"Hold the bag containing the runes in the palm of your hand, and meditate on your own problems. You also need to meditate." Trelawney nagged as she put the runes back in the bag, "Remember, To maintain an ethereal state, follow the instinct to feel the force of nature, then take a rune from the bag and put it in the palm of your hand~IndoMTL.com~ Albert and Isobel look at each other and can see the corners of their mouths twitching, neither of them said anything.

"Why don't you test it out, which one of you will come first." Professor Babbling said.

"Ladies first!" Albert gestured for Isobel.

"No, you go first." Isobel didn't actually believe this prophecy.

"Okay!" Albert took the bag of runes, meditated on the question in his mind, and then meditated, keeping his mind as ethereal as possible.

He reaches out and takes the runes from the bag and places them in the palm of his hand.

"What's your problem?" Trelawney asked.

"Future fortune." Albert said without hesitation.

"I think you are very talented in divination." Trelawney walked over to Albert and said suddenly.

"Thank you." Albert responded politely.

"It's a positive Fehu." Trelawney glanced at the runes on Albert's palm with a strange expression, "Fehu itself represents wealth, a symbol of material gain, This means that your fortune is very good, it represents some form of success, as long as you hold the things in your hand, you can achieve success and overcome the difficulties you encounter along the way.”

"My fortune has always been good indeed," Albert said incredulously. Put the runes back in the bag and hand the bag to Isobel.

"I want to know, will I be in trouble in the near future?" Isobel said his question lightly, and then took out a rune from the bag.

"EIHWAZ the reverse" Trelawney glanced at the runes in Isobel's hand, "This is an obvious warning, warning you to be careful... It's a good sign."
