Who let this Dementor into Hogwarts!

Chapter 488 To make a living, you always have to wear a green hat (a symbol of infidelity).

"It's not convenient to continue watching this—" Cohen wanted to end the divination process. Based on his usual experience, he only needed to wipe the crystal ball again, and the image would dissipate.

But this time the image didn't dissipate; instead, it changed into another image.

It's still a room with a bed, but the lighting isn't as "nightclub-like" as before, and the people inside have changed.

A strange man and woman were making love in bed, oblivious to the world around them. Their wands were lying on the corner of the bed, and the woman was still wearing the man's tie.

Cohen didn't know either the man or the woman, so he was a little confused—but the examiner's expression, which was originally trying to suppress a laugh, suddenly turned dark, as if he had suddenly died.

“That’s about right…” Cohen tried to pull his hand back, but the examiner didn’t let go. He was still holding Cohen’s wrist, his eyes fixed on the contents of the crystal ball.

"Do you know the people in here?" Cohen asked curiously.

The examiner's lips moved as he whispered a few words. Cohen couldn't hear what he said, but judging from the examiner's expression, the result was already clear.

"your wife?"

The examiner's face had turned purple.

“Then this man…” Cohen compared them.

Unless a compound decoction is used, the man in the crystal ball is definitely not the examiner in front of me.

The examiner, who was just thinking about happy things, is now anything but happy.

"Cheer up. To get by in life, you always have to have a little bit of green on your head," Cohen comforted her. "At least you know it beforehand, right?"

“I’m going to kill that adulterous couple,” the examiner said through gritted teeth, releasing Cohen’s wrist. The image on the crystal ball vanished instantly. “You can leave now.”

"But I still have tea leaves and palm readings—"

"Perfect score, no need to take the test again." The examiner seemed eager to rush home and do his chores. He quickly scribbled a few lines on a record sheet and then hurriedly walked out with a stack of score sheets.

When Cohen came out, he saw the middle-aged examiner talking to Professor Marchban about the handover of duties, and then he ran out of Hogwarts at almost lightning speed.

"Next, Harry Potter." Professor Marchban called Harry into the examination room in an unusually loud voice, while Cohen stayed outside to wait for Harry to finish the exam and chat with Ron, who had already finished.

"How come you came out so quickly?" Ron asked in surprise. "And that examiner who ran away—did you beat him up?"

"Am I the kind of petty thug who beats up anyone he sees?" Cohen said, pursing his lips. "It's obvious he's in a hurry..."

Then, Cohen told Ron the second half of the prophecy in the crystal ball.

“Tsk tsk tsk…” Ron said in a tone that was half laughing and half pitying.

“He said he gave me a perfect score—I guess he did,” Cohen said. “But it doesn’t matter. Whether I get an O or not, I’m not taking Divination next semester—I’ve already planned to only take three courses.”

“Your exam went much better than mine,” Ron sighed. “I thought I really saw something in the crystal ball, and I even described to the examiner in great detail the ugly monster with a tumor on its nose in the crystal ball… but when I looked up, I realized that what I saw was actually the examiner’s reflection in the crystal ball.”

Ron wasn't the only one who made a fool of himself. After Harry came out, they heard another embarrassing story from him. "I hate reading palms," Harry said. "I mixed up Professor Marchban's lifeline and wisdomline—I just find it too incredible that Professor Marchban would die on June 6th... but I can't think of any way to date it right now."

“So, she’s become Professor Binns now,” Cohen said, stroking his chin. “June 6th was last Tuesday.”

"Hahahahahahaha!" Ron burst into laughter.

“At least I won’t waste any more time on this course.” Harry laughed along. “Cohen, how come you were out in just a few minutes during the exam?”

“Because I’m exceptionally gifted,” Cohen said, “I was released early with a perfect score.”

Ron told Harry the shocking news that Cohen had brought out, which made people sympathize with the examiner even more.

After everyone finished their exams, Cohen stopped speculating with Harry and Ron about what the examiner would do afterward. Instead, he went back to the common room and decided to take out his crystal ball to take another look.

Although Edward said he really wanted to go to the "Love in Disturbance" with Arnold, Cohen thought he probably wouldn't dare to actually go.

The scene shows Edward covering his eyes with one hand and holding the other in front of him to signal the woman to stop taking off her clothes. It's clear that he's still quite normal—at least his sense of responsibility towards Rose remains unchanged.

The problem is that the location is wrong—and...

Cohen's prophecies are often related to himself, either to people he wants to monitor or to himself, and without exception, they all involve important scenarios.

So why did Edward's infatuation appear in Cohen's prophecy?
Cohen plans to ask him directly after he goes home for the holidays.

As usual, Cohen left the astronomy practical exam and the final history of magic exam entirely to Hermione.

There are foolproof ways to peek at exam papers; not using them would be a waste of your talent.

Anyway, I won't be studying the history of magic and astronomy anymore after I finish this exam.

After the OWL exams were all over, the tense atmosphere at the school immediately disappeared.

Since their grades won't be released until the end of July, they'll have plenty of time left for vacation. Students who want to go home early can apply to the dean in advance.

Cohen naturally applied to go home early, while Harry and the others wanted to stay at school a little longer.

“I have to wait until after my birthday to go to Sirius’s,” Harry said. “Professor Dumbledore told me why—but if circumstances allow, I don’t want to stay at the Dursleys’ for another two weeks.”

"Have a safe trip." Hermione said goodbye to Cohen. "We'll see each other again during the summer vacation—everyone'll be going to Harry's, right?"

“I guess so,” Cohen said. “I even feel like I’d have to move in as soon as I got home; my mom definitely wouldn’t be able to stand it.”

Rose resigned, but she certainly won't stay at home for long; she doesn't have Edward's pastimes...

Cohen guessed that Rose might be thinking about rejoining the Order of the Phoenix.

However, now that she has already stood against Voldemort and Edward has become Minister of Magic, it doesn't really matter whether Roseca joins the Order of the Phoenix or not.
