Having escaped famine, I was accepted into Hogwarts.

Chapter 189 The Dementors are bad, Kane is good!

Sure enough, the plot unfolded almost exactly as Harry and Ron had predicted.

Because the rational Hermione and the emotional Professor Trelawney are incompatible, a subtle tension began to build between them halfway through the class.

Hermione felt that Professor Trelawney's course, which focused on talent rather than instruction, was not a proper course that could be taught independently.

The course itself and the individual professors were both terrible.

Professor Trelawney, on the other hand, felt that if you, as a wizard, didn't even have the most basic talent for divination, then what was the point of taking a divination class?

This course is not designed for people like you, yet you still come in and yell!

The two of them just couldn't stand each other.

Finally, when Professor Trelawney once again dissed Hermione, Hermione couldn't hold back anymore.

Just as Hermione was about to slam her fist on the table and shout that today's talent is tomorrow's talent, she chilled the students' hearts.

Then, as Harry picked up his wand and began scalping Trelawney to make a pair of boots, he gently tugged at Hermione's sleeve.

"Kane is Professor Trelawney's apprentice."

Hermione's mind went blank for a moment. Who in this classroom wasn't?

Then she realized that apprentices and students are different. Apprentices are taught in small classes. A great wizard might have a few apprentices, which is considered a lot, while a student might have a few hundred.

This demonstrates the high value of an apprenticeship.

So why is that? Would a Celestial Dragon like Kane really have nothing better to do than believe in such a charlatan fortune teller?

That shouldn't be the case, right?

But even so, what's the problem?

Just as she was about to slam her fist on the table for the second time and knock the crystal ball to the ground, her clever mind once again prevailed.

Why did he subconsciously not believe that Kane would listen to a charlatan like Professor Trelawney and recognize her as his teacher?

That must have been Kane's character all along; he's always been fascinated by mystical things like divination.

A faint hint of disdain.

Unlike saying or doing inexplicable things, Kane's behavior can only be described as being mentally unstable.

Since it has nothing to do with whether or not one trusts divination, there is only one possibility that could make his behavior reasonable.

Kane wasn't acting voluntarily; he was forced. So, who could force a Celestial Dragon like Kane? It must have been his Celestial Dragon parents, right?

This shows that Professor Trelawney is, without a doubt, a Celestial Dragon who is hiding his true identity.

Otherwise, how could someone who deliberately mystifies things become a professor at Hogwarts?

Divination doesn't have the curses of Defense Against the Dark Arts...

However, given this situation, his impulsive plan might have to be shelved. After all, he intends to climb to the top step by step after graduation! To become a Celestial Dragon, offending Professor Trelawney at this time is not a good idea.

The competitive atmosphere in the classroom, where every teacher harbors a sense of disdain for students who don't perform well, dissipates as soon as the teacher leaves the classroom.

It has nothing to do with offending anyone.

Finally, after careful consideration, Hermione stood up, straightened her skirt, and sat down again.

"Miss Granger, please be quiet during class and don't disturb the other students, thank you."

Professor Trelawney glanced at Hermione and said.

Hermione:

'

I will endure!

And so, the students' first divination class went smoothly.

Just as get out of class was about to end, Professor Trelawney specifically called Kane back.

"Remember, we still had classes on the night of the full moon."

"Okay, Professor." Kane agreed and then left the classroom with his classmates.

Hermione, who was walking ahead looking at her toes while constantly listening to the sounds behind her, felt weak, pitiful, and helpless.

In her mind, she had become a pitiful little person, clutching a small blanket and crying helplessly.

Waaaaaahhhhhh...

No, I can't keep wallowing in self-pity like this. I have to turn my grief into strength. Time to the library!

And so another afternoon passed, and no one saw Hermione outside the library; there wasn't a soul in sight.

Ah, except for Harry and Ron, who, for some unspeakable secret, went to the library for the first time ever, intending to still wave the Celestial Dragons' banner, scare Hermione, and then do some other nonsense.

Kane, however, was clearly not so bored, and he quietly left Hogwarts.

You have to understand that the skies above Hogwarts are still full of Dementors. In his eyes, this is just a scene from a fairy tale, with all sorts of delicious food floating freely in the sky. As long as he uses a magical little moonlight spell, they will line up and come to his mouth.

The only pity is that he can't use the moonlight over a large area. He doesn't know if the Ministry of Magic will cause trouble for Kane, but if nothing unexpected happens, Dumbledore will definitely come to check the water clock.

Unfortunately, Kane underestimated Dumbledore's control over the school.

Of course, this is normal. If Dumbledore didn't have such a strong control over the school, all those young wizards at Hogwarts would have become a buffet for Dementors long ago.

So in a sense, Dumbledore's willingness to let Dementors inhabit the school wasn't entirely unprepared, after all, he was the one who had the best preparation.

And this preparation... if Kane hadn't been caught stealing Dementors and being discovered by Dumbledore, he might actually have praised him.

Down Dumbledore.

But all of this was a completely different matter in Dumbledore's eyes.

Firstly, Dementors are evil and brutal dark creatures that feed on human happiness; therefore, Dementors are inherently bad.

Kane, this innocent and kind little wizard, feeds on evil creatures like Dementors. Kane is good.

In other words, Kane is a completely benevolent person.

I was previously researching how low-needs characters like Kane were the most difficult to deal with, but now Kane happens to have a need.

This is a good thing!

Isn't he just trying to eat Dementors?

It's no big deal. Eat. After you finish eating, your principal will go to Azkaban to give it to you.

Wait... no? A Dementor?

eat?

Dumbledore slowly frowned as well, as if he knew why those Slytherin wizards had been avoiding Kane lately.
