v3 Chapter 171： Bad Omen Trelawney

The latest website: The main reason why Professor Trelawney is not so popular is that she is a complete crow's mouth and rarely hears good news from her mouth. When Harry first took her class, she made a total of five predictions: Neville's grandmother is not doing well recently; Parvati Patil needs to be careful of a red-haired man; Lavender Brown fears the most Things will happen on Friday, October 16; Neville will smash a teacup; Harry has a nemesis and encounters an attack, danger on the road, and the famous "Ominous".

These five prophecies are all bad omens, outrageous - can't you say something nice? And these predictions are outrageous, and they have all been fulfilled in various strange ways. Of course, it all seems like a coincidence. So it gives the illusion that Professor Trelawney is an alarmist liar.

And now, such a person actually praises a good face? It's groundbreaking.

Dumbledore had just been thinking about how to comfort Huck, lest he be frightened by Trelawney's words. But she didn't think so, she actually said something nice. Dumbledore thought it was unplanned.

Under the shocked gazes of others, Professor Trelawney sat next to Huck, grabbed his hand seriously, and looked at his palmistry.

Huck, who was grabbed by Trelawney's wrist, felt uncomfortable all over. Trelawney's hands were cold, and she was thin, so Huck had the illusion of being caught by an animal's claws, and she was so close that Huck could even feel Trelawney The breath in his palms.

After watching for a while, Trelawney let go of Huck, but it wasn't over, she waved her wand, summoned a teacup and a pot of steaming hot tea, and poured Huck a full cup of piping hot of tea.

Then Huck received an extremely difficult order: Drain this cup of hot tea as soon as possible.

Huck couldn't help thinking of his days as a newspaper editor a long time ago. At that time he needed to travel a lot and negotiate with all kinds of people. Sometimes it is difficult to make things difficult, pouring you a hot drink so you can finish it quickly is one of the classic routines.

Times have changed, and it has been a long time since no one has made him feel so bad—the cabinet and civil servants will not use such low-level routines, they often directly punish him.

Looking at the hot tea in his hand, Huck recalled the green years of his youth, and then he drank the tea in one gulp in the eyes of everyone.

According to Professor Trelawney's instructions, he swayed the tea residues in the cup three times, then turned the cup upside down on the tray, and dried the last drop of tea. During this time, everyone kept quiet, even Snape kept his mouth shut, watching all this happen with a sarcastic expression.

Professor Trelawney took the tray and began to decipher the shape of the tea leaves.

"The vines and the half-withered trees... the tussle, the oak fruit... an unexpected gain, the crooked cross... suffering and pain..."

Listening to Professor Trelawney's interpretation, Huck's smile gradually solidified on his face: It doesn't sound like a good word!

"The palmistry and face are both good, and it is the appearance of a noble person. Unfortunately, the results of tea interpretation are mediocre." Professor Trelawney finally came to a conclusion.

Huck: "So is the divination good or bad?"

He was a little uneasy in his heart, and he was looking forward to something.

"Good, not good."

Huck:  …

I really hate this type of answer!

"So... um, can I be as I wish... to be that one?" He finally couldn't bear his temper, and said the words thoroughly.

"Fortune-tellers can't tell you the exact result, the more important things are, the more vague. We can even be accurate to the sky for something as small as a dog killing a rabbit, but the thing you think is not within the scope of trivial matters. .We can't see it completely." Tom explained it for Professor Trelawney.

Of all the people present, except for Professor Trelawney, no one really knew divination better than him.

Professor Trelawney gave Tom an approving look.

For wizards and fortune-tellers, there is no "no secret" rule, and they don't like to sell things. The fundamental reason why their predictions are so vague is that the future they see is also murky.

"There is a long way to go, and the fruition will be achieved in the end, but trials and tribulations will follow, and the truthful fruition is just the beginning. Adversity is inside and outside." Tom helped Huck interpret his divination like a magician.

Other professors: (?_?)

Tom Yodell, are you going to be a prophet?

Huck chewed the sentence carefully, and felt that it was not bad: it was obviously saying that he could be prime minister! If you can be the Prime Minister, what else do you want?

How can there be no challenges after becoming prime minister? Dae Ying has been challenged since World War I, and every prime minister is used to it.

Not a big problem. Reassured, Huck began to enjoy the food in front of him.

During the banquet, everyone also had a pleasant exchange, and the customs of the magic world gradually unfolded in front of Huck.

Tom's mouth was stuffed with sausages, sandwiches and grilled meats covered in sauce. When his stomach was about to explode, Huck and Dumbledore chatted about how the magical and non-magical worlds deal with prisoners.

"So you belong to the country of abolition?" When Huck heard that even the most vicious Death Eaters were only sentenced to life in prison for Azkaban, his first reaction was that the magic world had effectively abolished the death penalty.

"The death penalty? There has been no such thing as the death penalty since the birth of the law of the magical world." Dumbledore said lightly.

Indeed, there is really no such thing as the death penalty in the laws of the magical world. In the beginning, everyone was very direct, an eye for an eye, and there was no need for the death penalty to solve the enemy. When the dementors appeared later, the magic world directly replaced the death penalty with the "dementor's kiss" For wizards, being swept away from the soul is much more terrifying than death.

However, if you want to be kissed by a dementor, the conditions are harsh. Even if you are a heinous Death Eater, you will only be sentenced to life in prison. Only Sirius and Little Crouch, who have been imprisoned for life and escaped from prison, will be "kissed" by the Dementors - Little Crouch is more like being silenced, and only Sirius is almost really kissed.

"Outrageous, in my opinion, the death penalty is still necessary," Huck said seriously, "but the United Kingdom has not imposed the death penalty in nearly 30 years."

Thinking of this, Huck also sighed secretly. He is not a death-defying faction, but he is also very sure that he will not sentence criminals to death in his office. The pressure of public opinion brought about by the death penalty is not something he can bear.
