Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 324 Divination Magic for Predicting the Future (Third Update)

At 8:50 a.m., when Daphne, Pansy, Malfoy and the others arrived at the door of the arithmetic divination classroom in the East Tower, they saw Jerry and Hermione sitting in the first row, holding the arithmetic divination textbook "Number Divination and Graphics," previewing and discussing the subject.

"Actually, it's fine to keep your idols in your heart. Let's be realistic. I think Draco is pretty good. Although he's not as good as Jerry, he's at least much better than the others!"

Pansy patted Daphne, who was shivering from the cold, then glanced at Malfoy and then at Goyle and Crabbe behind him.

Everyone likes idols, but it's unrealistic to think of turning your idol into your husband. She's always been quite realistic, so even though she also liked the perfect Jerry, she wisely chose Draco in the end.

After all, among the Slytherins of the same grade, Draco was second only to Jerry in both looks and grades. Although he was a bit childish, he was a Malfoy!

The Malfoy family is a renowned family in the wizarding world. Even though they declined somewhat due to the First Wizarding War, they are still a first-rate family.

Draco's father is not only a school board member, but also has deep connections with high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Magic, so having a boyfriend like that isn't shameful.

"Hmph, I won't give up! I'm going to study hard, I'm going to work hard, and I'm determined to surpass that mud-brain in this year's final exams!"

Hearing Pansy's words, Daphne was not discouraged at all. Instead, she clenched her two little pink fists and her whole body was filled with fighting spirit.

"Whatever makes you happy!"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her best friend, Panxi could only shrug helplessly.

Daphne fell in love with Jerry at first sight. At the first-year school opening banquet in the auditorium, Daphne was captivated by Jerry's appearance and elegance, and subsequently fell deeper and deeper in love.

Pansy, on the other hand, didn't initially care much about Jerry. It was only after he showed enough excellence that she began to have feelings for him. So she wasn't as hopelessly infatuated as Daphne.

Arithmetic divination is a very interesting course that uses numbers to predict future events and arrive at a relatively accurate answer.

After attending the entire class, Jerry felt he had gained a lot. He currently believes that the content of this course is similar to the methods Muggles use in science to predict and extrapolate the future using big data.

Muggles use scientific methods to collect big data and analyze it with special algorithms, while arithmetic divination uses the principles of numbers and magic to make predictions.

These are all methods that can be followed. As long as the brain is smart enough and the calculation ability is strong enough, it is indeed possible to obtain some relatively accurate conclusions.

However, it also has drawbacks. Because arithmetic divination requires a lot of brain processing power, the accuracy decreases as the timeframe for predicting the future recedes.

Therefore, even wizards who are proficient in arithmetic and divination find it difficult to predict events one or two days in advance; being able to predict the future a few hours in advance is considered quite impressive.

The advantage is that it is relatively accurate. Although there are countless possibilities for the future, the future predicted by arithmetic divination is relatively more inclined to the most likely one.

However, at the end of the first lesson, Professor Setima Victor, the teacher of the arithmetic and divination class, also told all the young wizards in class.

The results of arithmetic divination should only be used as a reference. The future is constantly changing. When you begin divination, the future has already started to change. Never take the results of divination as the truth, or the future will surely surprise you with a treacherous twist.

Upon hearing the professor's warning, Jerry suddenly understood why Voldemort immediately went to kill Harry, who was the one who fulfilled the prophecy, after learning of it.

Because prophecy describes the most likely future occurrence, not what is destined to happen, killing Harry beforehand would eliminate that possibility.

Unfortunately, Snape only heard the first half of the prophecy when he overheard it, and not the second half, so Voldemort still died in the end.

After learning of the prophecy, Dumbledore did everything he could to temper and train Harry as he grew up, perhaps in order to minimize the chances of the prophesied future being altered.

After the arithmetic divination class ended, Jerry and Hermione left again and went to the divination classroom in the North Tower.

However, just as Hermione was about to use the Time-Turner again, Jerry raised his hand to stop her.

"Hermione, I think you'd better eat something to fill your stomach first!"

The Muggle Studies class and the Arithmetic Divination class together lasted six hours. Adding the time they spent traveling back and forth, a normal person would have been starving long ago.

"Now that you mention it, I'm actually hungry!"

She hadn't noticed because she was too focused on the arithmetic and divination class, but now that Jerry had mentioned it, Hermione's tummy started growling, making her blush.

"Let's have a couple of grilled sausages to tide us over, then we'll go to the auditorium for lunch after the divination class!"

Jerry reached into his bag and took out four sausages. He heated them with magic, then gave two to Hermione.

Hermione's eyes lit up:

"You've considered everything very thoroughly!"

Why does she like Jerry? It's not just because Jerry is excellent in every way, but also because she doesn't have to worry about many things when she's with him. Jerry can think of things in advance, which makes her feel very comfortable.

After finishing the grilled sausages and easing their hunger, the two turned the time converter again.

"Hey Jerry, Hermione, you guys didn't wait for us!"

Just as it was almost nine o'clock and the Divination class was about to begin, Harry and Ron rushed into the classroom and complained to Jerry and Hermione.

It turned out that the two had forgotten the location of the divination classroom again, and finally found it with the guidance of the eccentric Sir Cadogan in the portrait.

"The common room has the location of all the new classrooms. I reminded you to memorize it last night, but all you wanted to do was go back to your dorms and play poker!"

Hermione rolled her eyes and retorted without holding back.

Hermione is not a gentle and good-tempered girl. She is the kind of girl who is strong, smart, decisive and opinionated, and she is quite ruthless when she talks back.

However, she finds it difficult to perform well when she's with Jerry.

"Welcome to our divination class!"

Just then, a middle-aged witch, thin as a straw, walked nervously into the classroom.

She wore oversized glasses, a thin, transparent shawl adorned with many glittering metallic sequins, and countless beads and chains hung from her long, slender neck. Her arms and hands were also covered with bracelets and rings.

The overall impression is that they're crazy and eccentric!
