Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

But sadly, she offended Apollo and was cursed by the gods, cursing that no one would believe her words.

Cassandra saw the fate of her country and the death of her family and herself, but no one believed her.

When she was alive, people thought she was a lunatic; after she died, her predictions were verified one by one, and she was called the greatest prophet of all time.

Professor Trelawney was a descendant of this person, and strangely, she was pretentious among her students but did not mention her legendary bloodline.

Wade knew that although Trelawney always seemed to be pretending, she was actually a real prophet.

The prophecy she made once prompted Voldemort to hunt down Harry personally and affected the direction of the entire world - although she herself did not know it.

Just like what she said just now, "prophecy" is an innate talent that flows in her blood. It will inadvertently tear off the mask of peace and reveal the cruel and hideous face of fate.

Students without talent can only compare the contents of the textbooks and talk nonsense while looking at the tea leaves.

Trelawney predicted that around Easter, someone would leave everyone forever, and then she started pouring tea from the teapot as if what she said was nothing special.

Although Wade thought the matter was meaningless, he still took a teacup from the shelf and asked Professor Trelawney to pour a cup of hot tea.

Sitting next to Vader was Neville, who accidentally broke a teacup and had to take a second one with a red face. He returned to his seat carefully with both hands as if he was holding a bomb.

The tea was boiling hot, and the students blew on it while drinking it. After finally finishing it, they shook it three times, turned it over and placed it on the teacup holder.

While waiting for the tea to flow out, Neville nervously opened the textbook. The yellowed pages were painted with simple strokes of various shapes of tea leaves, and the interpretations of different forms were written next to them.

Wade regarded him as Zhou Gong's interpretation of dreams. Although he didn't believe it, it was quite interesting to read it.

Soon the tea was gone, Wade opened the cup, glanced at it casually, and his expression paused slightly.

No matter how you look at it, the shape of tea leaves resembles a flying bat with its wings spread.

In textbooks, bats, like black dogs, are symbols of death, and bats are also associated with evil, vampires, etc.

Neville didn't pay attention to this side. The broken cup made him a little too nervous. He stared at his teacup and said:

"Ved, why are you already open? Uh... is my tea almost gone? Is it almost done?"

Neville looked up uncertainly, trying to see how others were doing it.

The moment he looked up, Wade also picked up the teacup and rubbed the edge of the cup lightly against the bottom of the cup holder.

"Students who have completed the course, please show your teacup to your companions for interpretation." Professor Trelawney said, "I will guide and help you. Of course, students without talent can give up early. I said that talent is the most important thing..."

Vader and Neville exchanged teacups.

"Uh, this..."

Neville flipped through the book, trying to interpret it: "Your tea leaves look like an umbrella... maybe it means it will rain tomorrow, and you should take an umbrella with you... but I know you don't need it, all you need is a wand..."

He turned the cup around.

"From this side, it looks a bit like a boat. Maybe you're going to go boating on the Black Lake, Wade... Of course, it could also mean that you're going on a long journey... Um, with an umbrella..."

Wade also gently shook Neville's tea leaves -

"It's a bit like a rabbit with its claws bared... yes, it means something good will happen to you; or like a big cabbage..."

As Wade was speaking, he suddenly felt as if his vision was blurry.

Neville waited a few seconds and asked, "Are you hungry, Vader?"

"No." Wade calmed down and said, "Uh... cabbage... symbolizes a good harvest..."

He casually read the words in the book, but there was an idea lingering in his mind -

In the previous moment, he felt that the shape of the tea leaves resembled a goat's head, and this idea became deeply rooted, the more he looked at it, the more it resembled a goat's head.

A goat's head, like a bat's, is not a good sign.

——But it’s just a few leftover tea leaves. It’s ridiculous to say that they can reveal a person’s destiny.

Wade thought so and casually mentioned some good signs, which made Neville very happy.

On the other side of the classroom, Professor Trelawney was staring at Harry and said loudly and sadly:

"An omen—the worst of all—an omen of death!"

Chapter 331 It turns out that it’s time

Hermione contradicted Professor Trelawney in person, arguing that the shape of the tea leaves had nothing to do with the ominous sign.

So, the students nearby started another discussion about whether Harry's tea leaves looked like a black dog.

Harry listened helplessly to everyone talking about him being dead or alive, not wanting to express any opinion at all. When he saw Wade approaching, he lowered his voice and said:

"Even if he looks like a black dog, he's still Sirius. What does it have to do with anything ominous?"

"Yep."

Wade said vaguely, and took Harry's teacup in his hand and turned it around.

Almost at the first sight he saw it, the image of a big black dog appeared in his mind.

In fact, they are not that similar in appearance. They look like dogs, wolves, foxes, or wild boars at the same time. However, there is a deep-rooted impression in his mind -

This is the black dog!

"If you ask me, it's more like a hippopotamus..." Ron gestured to Harry and said, "Look, does this place look like a hippopotamus nostril?"

"Kind of," said Harry.

"So... uh, this means you're going to face some challenges..."

Ron said, flipping through the book.

Wade put down the cup holder and said to Neville who was worried beside him:

"Even if it's ominous, it doesn't mean death. You may just encounter some difficulties and dangers... This is the meaning of prophecy. Foresee the problems in advance and find ways to solve them, instead of giving up struggling because you think you are doomed."

Neville smiled: "You are right."

After the divination class, the transfiguration class comes right after, so there is not much time in between.

The students put down their teacups in a hurry and rushed to the Transfiguration classroom. Vader was just a little slow, and most of the people in the classroom had already left.

He walked forward with his schoolbag on his back, casually glancing at the other students' teacups.

Cat, goat, wolf, dagger, hat, crow...

Many students’ tea leaves are in a disturbing shape.

But the students didn't seem to notice this. They laughed and made clumsy predictions, and just like what Vader had said to fool Neville just now, most of them were positive.

After all, most of the people sitting next to me are close friends.

Only Professor Trilawney was holding the teacup holder, looking puzzled.

"How could this happen? Is misfortune looming over the entire Hogwarts? ... No, these students must have just listened to my prophecy and secretly tampered with the tea leaves... They are so naughty..."

Professor Trelawney muttered to herself, complaining about the students' recklessness, while she put away the teacups on the table.

She turned around and suddenly saw a student behind her. She was startled and quickly put on a serious and distant expression and asked, "My child, is there anything else you don't understand?"

Vader looked at her, shook his head, and said, "No, Professor."

Walking out of the classroom and into a secluded corner, he decisively turned the time converter again.

"…If you need a noble heart and muscles of steel, remember to call me Sir Cadogan!"

the short and fat knight shouted loudly, running quickly through the portrait, not noticing Vader in the other corridor.

Then Vader heard his own voice: "Morning, everyone!"

He waited a few minutes without moving, until there was no other sound in the corridor outside, then he summoned his broomstick and flew straight to the library.

On Monday morning, most of the students who did not have classes were catching up on sleep in the dormitory, and there were only a few students in the library.

Wade found a few books related to divination from the bookshelf, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to read them.

However, there are very few wizards like Cassandra who truly possess the gift of prophecy. Most of them are summarizing their experiences and generalizing certain commonalities; some combine arithmetic divination and astronomy to predict in a more "scientific" way.

Tea leaf predictions are basically the former.

More authoritative books actually list more reference patterns so that people know which direction to guess when learning.

Or, even if the "prophecy" is wrong, when the wizard flips through the book he will only think that it is because of his inadequate understanding of the tea leaves, rather than that the book is wrong.

There is no precedent in the book where someone identified a certain image at first sight, as Vader did.

Wade touched his eyes gently, feeling a little confused.

Of course it's good to have the gift of prophecy...

But he was worried that fate's gift had secretly put a high invisible price on it.

An hour passed quickly, and Wade saw that it was almost time to end the get out of class, so he borrowed these books from Madam Pince, then met up with Michael who had just finished the Arithmancy class, and then went to the Transfiguration classroom.

In Michael's eyes, they had just come out of the Arithmancy classroom, but in fact, Wade had finished a class and read a book for an hour.

If this continues, not to mention the fatigue of taking a few more classes, the feeling of confusion caused by the inconsistent time will be unbearable.

Thinking of this, Wade couldn't help but admire Percy a little.

He always felt that even though Percy Weasley had obtained twelve OWLs certificates, he was only good at studying and taking exams, and compared to many wizards, he was not that outstanding.

However, Percy persisted in this busy study life for three years. During this period, he also had to complete the work of a class monitor and deal with the pranks of his two younger brothers. He never revealed any major flaws. It was really rare.

Soon, everyone arrived at the Transfiguration classroom.

In the first class of the new semester, Professor McGonagall began to explain the knowledge of Animagus and turned into a cat in front of everyone.

Some students began to applaud, but those who had just finished the divination class were still immersed in the death prophecy and did not respond too enthusiastically.

After asking the reason, Professor McGonagall said disdainfully: "Divination is one of the most inaccurate subjects in magic. There are very few people who can truly foresee the future, and Professor Trelawney..."

Professor McGonagall endured it again and again and did not speak ill of her colleague in public. She just snorted to fully express her opinion.

"Potter, if you die, I promise, you won't have to hand in your homework today."

Professor McGonagall said this with a deliberately stern face, and everyone burst into laughter.

Michael, who was sitting next to Padma, also laughed a few times. Then he sniffed and smelled a rather strong, sweet scent from the girl.
