The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 504 Want to win once

"Isobel, can I come in?"

After a brief knock on the door, Katrina's voice sounded from outside the door.

"Hold on."

Isobel raised his finger and lightly touched the double-sided mirror, got up and walked to the door, opened the door to let his sister into the room.

Before Katrina went to Hogwarts school, she often ran to her room and asked her to tell stories or teach some simple magic.

However, since going to school, the relationship between the two parties seems to have become alienated.

Katrina has finally grown up and no longer needs to rely on her elder sister everywhere.

Isobel looked at his younger sister and thought with relief.

"Who were you talking to just now?" Katrina asked suspiciously.

"What's the matter?" Isobel changed the topic aloud, "Are you still struggling with the results of the divination exam?"

Katrina looked at the furnishings in the room, and her eyes swept over the desk. Several years have passed, and there are almost no changes here except that there are more books.

"Do you think you can get excellent results in the O.W.Ls divination exam?" Katrina didn't delve into the question just now, but directly asked about the divination exam results.

In the divination exam last semester, Katrina only got a good grade in the end.

"You want to ask me if I can do divination?"

Isobel looked into his sister's eyes and answered the question calmly, "Unfortunately, I'm not good at divination, and I can't predict the future through a crystal ball. Divination requires talent, and I obviously don't have it."

"But why are you sure that you can get a high score in the O.W.Ls divination test?" Katrina raised her own doubts again.

To be honest, she doesn't like Professor Trelawney very much, and thinks that he is a liar. Although she has worked hard in this area, she has gained far less than other subjects.

"Professor Trelawney is probably not a liar." Isobel seemed to have seen through his sister's thoughts, and explained kindly, "

She is a descendant of the famous soothsayer Cassandra Trelawney.If you don't have real ability, I'm afraid you won't be able to serve as a divination professor at Hogwarts for a long time. "

"Moreover, prophecy requires the support of talent."

"I didn't say what Professor Trelawney expected to see, and she only gave me a good one in the end?" Katrina knew exactly what the crystal ball divination exam was like.

"Katrina, you need to be clear about one thing. In fact, the divination we have learned is only the most basic knowledge. Even the advanced class of divination cannot really teach you how to predict the future." Isobel is like stroking a kitten Like smoothing Katrina's frizzy hair, "Crystal ball divination, reading tea leaves, palmistry (looking at the lifeline and wisdom line) are the contents of the O.W.Ls divination exam."

"These three items are included in the exam every year. Do you know why?"

Katrina shook her head, how could she know the reason.

"They have never expected to rely on divination classes to cultivate excellent fortune-tellers. Prophecy requires talent." Isobel repeated this sentence again: "Talented wizards will naturally be able to master it quickly after taking the divination class." Those divination knowledge, and based on it, start to learn to master your own prophecy ability. A wizard without prophecy talent can only ponder the objects he sees by himself, and give the so-called standard answer based on the knowledge given in the book. "

"The result is not important. Even if you can get excellent grades in this class, if you don't have the talent for prophecy, you won't be able to become an excellent fortune-teller. In the end, you will only be regarded as a liar by people."

"What's the point of this class?" Katrina was even more puzzled.

"It's easier to identify who can divination." Isobel thought for a while and added: "Let your three years of hard work have a perfect ending instead of being completely rejected."

Katrina fell into a longer silence. According to Isobel's words, to become a divination, talent is very important, even more than hard work.

Well, doesn't Professor Trelawney give her the feeling that she is a fortuneteller with insufficient talent?

Sure enough, he is still a liar.

"Can Albert really know divination? You should know what I mean!"

In fact, Katrina didn't really want to mention this name in front of Isobel, and every time she mentioned it, she always felt quite embarrassed.

"He will." Isobel nodded, "Actually, several of his predictions have come true."

"He told you?"

"Why ask that?"

"It's nothing." Katrina said, "That guy always likes to be mysterious."

"Mysterious boys are more attractive, aren't they?" Isobel said.

"When did you guys start dating?" Katrina asked dryly.

"During the beginning of last semester!" Isobel blinked and said playfully, "I confessed to him first."

"It's impossible, you are so good." Katrina was stunned and stuttered a little.

"He's better than me." Isobel said with a smile without teasing his sister, "It really doesn't matter who confesses first, as long as you can get the result you want."

"Did you really confess first?" Katrina was still struggling with this question.

"I just gave a little hint."

"What does it feel like to be in love?" The girl asked curiously. She had seen her friends fall in love, and would occasionally get together to discuss those things with them.

"Feel?"

Isobel seemed to be choosing the words carefully: "Obsession."

"obsessed?"

"I'm afraid you will have to wait for someone you like to understand." Isobel said with a smile, "Do you already have someone you like?"

"No." Katrina glanced at Isobel secretly, and quickly changed the subject: "I heard from my friends that when they were in a relationship, they always sent letters to each other every day."

"This is the norm." Isobel joked, "However, it is a bit difficult for Albert. He receives and sends a lot of letters every month. When we were in school, most of them used communication bookmarks to send letters. related."

Katrina was in a trance, and she felt that Albert made the communication bookmark at the beginning, maybe it was to communicate with Isobel smoothly.

"I feel like I've fallen out of love."

Katrina leaned her head on Isobel's shoulder, whispering softly.

"You're not in love at all, how could you be broken in love." Isobel touched his sister's hair and comforted her softly.

"I have never won against you since I was a child." Katrina murmured softly, "I really want to win once, just once."

Seeing Katrina leaving in a daze, Isobel shook his head involuntarily, came back to the double-sided mirror, and softly called Albert's name in front of the mirror.
