The north tower of Hogwarts Castle.
Above a small staircase in the divination classroom.
This is the office of the professor of divination at Hogwarts—Schelling can be sure that this is definitely the shabby office in Hogwarts. There is nothing but a desk and a bed in it.
Professor Trelawney opened her eyes wide, and said in her signature, soft, vague voice: "Welcome to my office, you are—"
"Hello professor, I am Schelling of the Malfoy family, I am here to greet you."
"Oh, Malfoy's second son? I've heard your name, uh... it seems you are not my student..." Professor Trelawney said with some confusion.
"Professor, it's like this. I'm encountering some mundane difficulties now, so I came to seek your help. I hope that through your celestial eyes and your vision, you can help me find the answer." Xie Lin politely Said his request.
"Interesting." Professor Trelawney said calmly, "Why do you think of asking me for help?"
She went on to say: "Do you know that in my teaching career in the past ten years, you are the first student to come to me for guidance!"
"I once heard of your grandmother Xuan's name. Kassandra Trelawney is undoubtedly a true master of prophecy." Schelling said.
"However, after her, there has never been a prophet in my family," Professor Trelawney said softly, "I know that many people in the school think I am a liar. Do you still think I will prophesy? ?"
"Teacher, why do you care too much about the opinions of those fools in the dunya? Most wizards don't believe in so-called prophecies, especially about bad news, so no one will want to believe in prophecies before the real disaster strikes. This is Humanity!"
Schelling continued: "As for me, I believe that professor you know how to predict, but you can't master your own prediction ability, and you can't use it as you like..." Schelling's tone was full of confidence.
"Oh, interesting, why do you think that?" Professor Trelawney's eyes flashed shrewdly. She had seen countless people with half-hearted divination without being dismantled, and her gaze had almost become her. She felt the depth and wisdom of Dumbledore in Schelling’s instinct. To deal with this kind of person, any deception and blindness are useless, so it's better to go straight to the point.
"Professor Dumbledore is old, but he is still not confused. He will decide to hire you as a professor of divination at Hogwarts. Obviously he thinks you have such qualifications."
"Yeah..." Professor Trelawney said to herself, "I admit that Dumbledore did not have a good interest in divination at first. At that time, he told me that Hogwarts was going to give a divination class and wanted to invite I went to be a professor, but before that, Dumbledore wanted me to make a prediction for him."
"Although I don't remember the content of the prophecy anymore, shortly after that, probably after the fall of the mysterious man, I came to Hogwarts as a professor of divination. At that time, there was no so-called divination class in the school."
"It seems that the prediction has come true." Xie Lin said softly.
"Close to the subject, since you know that I don't have my ability to predict, then the purpose of your coming to me is..."
Xie Lin took out a bottle of potion from his arms, "This is a potion that I specially refined. It can permanently increase a person's Psyche, or in layman's terms, Sentience. The main material is very Even I have only one bottle of the rare adult Thunderbird’s tears. For your diviners, it is even more precious. It can enhance your vision."
(Note: The rarity of thunderbirds is about the same as that of phoenixes. They are protected species in North America. The ones Newt saved were only smuggled to Egypt)
Trelawney's eyes flashed with various changes. She was not a fool. Schelling was able to bring such a precious potion to the door, obviously he was very conspiring.
Although she is very emotional, she is used to living an easy life. Although she is often looked down upon at school, she has no worries about food and clothing, and there is no risk in her life. If she really has any emotional problems because of this, that is also the case. One bottle of Sydney wine can solve the problem, if it still doesn't work, then two bottles.
She decided to go straight ahead, "What do you need me to do for you?"
Xie Lin smiled and said, "Professors are clever people, and Xie Lin will not ask too much. Two things-first, I hope that the professor can do for me ten times without violating personal principles," Xie Lin looked in his eyes. Suddenly became sharp, his gaze locked tightly to Trelawney's.
"Second, I hope that the professor can form an alliance with the Malfoy family. You can continue to be your professor at Hogwarts, but if you can, you must help the forces I represent. Of course you will not let Professor, you suffer. Every time you make a shot, you can offer me a bottle of potion in exchange, how about it?"
Trelawney only hesitated for a while, and then he agreed.
Schelling offered very rich conditions, and was able to make friends with the Malfoy family in full swing. At this moment, she was profitable and harmless. Although she was a professor, multiple paths meant more choices. !
Dumbledore is not immortal. If one day she doesn't know which headmaster who doesn't have long eyes fired, at least she still has a place to go.
["Ally" Sybil Trelawney won! 】
Schelling used the first chance of divination. He chose to use it on Verda Griffith. This is a good temptation. Let him see the true strength of Trelawney!
Trelawney poured the entire bottle of potion into his mouth.
She closed her eyes and was drunk in the skyrocketing spiritual sense. A strange pattern shining with blue light appeared on her forehead. It was in the shape of an eye, but there were many tentacles similar to plant roots around the eyes, which densely covered her forehead.
"This is the legendary Third Eye?" Xie Lin thought to himself, it seems that he was right, and the power of Trelawney's blood really didn't let him down.
The natural ability of divination is also divided into grades, and the Third Eye is undoubtedly the top one.
The crystal ball on Trelawney's desk suddenly burst out with dazzling light, like a Muggle projector, casting a very real illusion.
The phantom shows a small room that looks like a cargo warehouse. There are no windows except for a door. Schelling can see Griffith sitting on a chair with a black cloth handle on her head. Her eyes were blindfolded, her hands were tied to the back of the chair by a weird rope, and her feet were also fixed to the legs of the chair.
There are also two men in the room. One sits in a chair and smokes a famous wizard cigar. The other walks back and forth in the room with a very nervous expression. The only thing in common is that they both hold their hands tightly. With a magic wand.
Griffith in the picture tilted his head, as if he was in a coma. As long as there is a slight sign of waking up, he will be re-released with a Stunning Curse.
"It's amazing," Xie Lin said, "Professor, can you please move your third eye farther, let me see what the outside of this room looks like..."
Some ripples appeared in the picture, as if the illusion was a little unstable. Just after the picture began to slowly become blurred, Trelawney’s celestial eye traces lighted up again, and the whole picture slowly rose up, in the picture The people and things slowly became insignificant, and Schelling saw the appearance of the building where the room was.
The exterior of the building looks like the most common small warehouse in the Muggle world, but this can't fool Schelling. This is definitely the handwriting of the wizard, the entire warehouse exudes invisible magical fluctuations, I am afraid it is because of the Muggle expulsion curse.
Inferred from the perspective of sunlight and shadows, this building is located in the north of England. Coupled with clues inferred from other nearby buildings and scenery, the area has been narrowed to more than a dozen places.
This is enough. Give these clues to Scolinger, and the rest is the Auror's business.
It’s enough to be able to do this by myself, not only earning the favor of Devril and Slahhorn, but also allowing Scolinger to receive the credit, and at the same time measuring the strength of Trelawney, but Say it's four birds with one stone!
Schelling is very satisfied with Trelawney's divination ability.
Then he made a second request for divination, not Meredith, but Mrs. Shabini!
Divination is not omnipotent. If Meredith’s position at the moment is protected by the Courageous Faithfulness Charm, then even knowing the position will be useless, it will only be inaccessible like the last time in Shafik’s ancestral house.
The reason for choosing the object of divination is Mrs. Shabini, precisely because Schelling suspected that she was the female member who appeared in the shadow of the dragon that day!
Professor Trelawney took a rest for a while. She hadn't fully adapted to her complete bloodline talent, so the divination just now consumed a lot of her mind.
She entered the meditation state again. With the experience of the last time, the third eye was activated more quickly, and the marks on her forehead were much clearer than the last time.
The picture in the illusion, UU reading www.uukānshu. com showed two long wooden boxes resembling coffins. The wooden boxes were carved with many mysterious Gurunni charms. According to Schelling, they were used to cut off external influences and better preserve the contents of the coffins.
Then, the screen flashed and moved to an altar-the altar was also placed with the two previous coffins, but this time the coffins faintly exuded the magical fluctuations that Schelling was very familiar with.
This is soul magic! Schelling had a very bad premonition in his heart, what on earth did they want to do?
Soon, two figures walked onto the altar, one was Mrs. Shabini, and the other, Schelling, had never met, but he still recognized her-it was Mrs. Selwyn!
Mrs. Shabini and Mrs. Selwyn whispered there. As the picture was a little fuzzy, and Trelawney's phantom magic was not enough to show the sound, Schelling couldn't guess what they were talking about.
Wait a minute? This figure seems a bit messy... The Selwyn family is clearly a pure-blood faction, and Mr. Selwyn is even a Death Eater! Although there are some conflicts between the Selwyn family and the Malfoy family, in the final analysis it is a question of the distribution of interests, and there is no conflict between the two parties in terms of ideas.
What the **** is Madame Selwyn and the Shadow of the Dragon getting together now?
Is this the biggest secret of the Selwyn family? Or is this actually Mrs. Selwyn’s personal privacy, which the family does not know?
At this moment, Professor Trelawney gave a soft cry, and the whole picture shook, and a spider-web-like crack appeared, and finally it was broken into pieces, which turned into little stars and dissipated.
Professor Trelawney seemed to be overcasting the spell, and he was so tired that he had fallen asleep.
Xie Lin thought for a while, left a note, turned and left.
