Chapter 824 Praise the Fool!
After the sixth grade, there are roughly two types of students who still choose divination.
One is a "good" student like William who has enough energy to study and wants to collect all the certificates.
It's like he's collecting dragon balls. Although he can't summon dragon balls, Trelawney can always bring surprises.
That's right, William was prostitution to her, waiting for her to enter the big prophecy's family one day!
William will be able to get a few more prophecies... Hee hee.
There is another kind of students who continue to take this class... Most of them believe in Professor Trelawney and are her followers.
Therefore, everyone looked at Professor Trelawney expectantly, hoping that she would perform her magic and lower the head of the old toad Umbridge.
On one side is the eagerly looking eyes of the students; on the other side is the inspection by the boss, which is related to whether you can keep your job.
Trelawney wanted to shake face on the spot.
But she spent almost all of the money she won from gambling last summer.
Before there is no wealth and freedom, how dare you tear your face with the leader.
With slightly trembling hands, she tightened the shawl wrapped around her body, and her voice trembled through the pair of thick glasses:
"Today we continue to learn how to use tarot cards for prophecy."
"Please divide the students into pairs, and with the help of "Into the Tarot", explain each other's future."
Qiu opened her textbook, took out another deck of tarot cards, and threw it to William.
Tarot cards, known as "the mysteries of nature", are also the most complicated part of divination.
It has a total of 78 cards, including 22 major arcana cards and 56 minor arcana cards, which can be used separately for divination, or mixed and used together for divination.
Each card has a complex meaning that can vary wildly depending on how it is interpreted.
As the enquirer, William began to shuffle the cards skillfully.
At the beginning, the tarot cards should be face down and stacked in their own hands.
Concentrate, don't think about anything, follow your own will, draw a card from the middle of the deck, and put it on the top of the deck.
But instead of shuffling the Carlo cards, William appears to be shuffling the poker.All kinds of flower work show the demeanor of a gambler.
The students all looked at him, trying to learn some tricks, and then all juggled.
This is the same as turning the pen and turning the book. I don't know who invented it, but it can always be popular in all schools in the shortest time.
Trelawney coughed a few times and glared at William.
She's in trouble now, so it's fine if you don't help me, you're still making trouble here.
William quickly stopped his movements and laid out the Tarot cards on the table.
He followed the steps and drew a card, which read:
A young man, with a laurel wreath on his head and rich clothes, walks on the edge of a cliff.
He holds an hourglass in his left hand and a long wooden stick in his right hand.
fool.
The Fool card, its number is zero, is the first card of the Tarot, and it can also be regarded as the last card.
Qiu gently picked up the textbook, compared it with the book, and explained solemnly:
"The Fool, dressed in colorful attire and crowned with success, strode forward ignoring the precipice ahead.
In his right hand, he lightly holds a wooden staff. That staff is not an ordinary wooden staff. It is a scepter, which symbolizes strength.
This means, William, you have wisdom and strength.
There may be some small dangers in the future, but they will turn dangers into blessings, so there is nothing to be afraid of...
Praise the fool! "
William laughed.
Talk more if you can!
"Come on, let me see!" Trelawney swayed over. She gave William a hard look, and then snatched the Fool's Card.
She just glanced at it, put her hand on her heart, closed her eyes tightly, and exclaimed:
"My dear child... oh, Merlin's Tarot, bad, really bad."
The students all looked at William nervously, as if he was dying.
"The corolla represents wisdom.
Hourglass, representing the power of time in the process of transformation. ’ She pointed to the stick and said:
"The corolla has turned into a stick, and wisdom has turned into strength. A fool without intelligence will surely die if he possesses great power..."
Trelawney looked at William sadly, as if he was going to fall off a cliff.
William curled his lips... Can't you shut up if you can't speak? !
"But I see that your explanation is different from that in the textbook..." Umbridge interjected with a whimpering voice.
"Tarot cards are not written according to the scriptures. They need to be adapted to local conditions, experience and experience, otherwise anyone can do divination." Trelawney said coldly.
She was a little unhappy when it came to her profession.
"So," said Umbridge, looking up at Trelawney, "are you experienced in divination?"
Trelawney stared at her fiercely, crossed her arms, and raised her shoulders, as if the other party's words were extremely rude.
"I have been working hard in this school for 16 years. If I don't have real skills, will Professor Dumbledore let me keep this job?
If you inquire about my divination ability, even the principal dare not question it.
Professor McGonagall occasionally bows to me for advice, when will Gryffindor Quidditch win;
Professor Flitwick will also ask me to help with divination on the issue of marriage..."
Judging from Trelawney's tone, the Hogwarts professors' team are all fans of her, and she is the hidden king of the school.
How much sherry to drink... But if you eat two rounds of Avada and eat big melons, you will not dare to get drunk like this.
Umbridge made a few notes on the clipboard and asked again, "So Professor Dumbledore hired you?"
"That's right." Professor Trelawney said bluntly. "He invited me out of the mountain many times!"
"Are you the great-great-granddaughter of the famous seer Cassandra Trelawney?"
"Yes." Trelawney raised her head a little higher, as proud as an old hen that just laid eggs.
"But I think—you can correct me if I'm wrong—that you're the... first person in your family to have second sight since Cassandra?"
"These things are often awakened in different generations...well...it's not surprising that they are separated by three generations." Professor Trelawney felt a little guilty.
"But I heard that after finishing the first grade, you dropped out of school and went home. You didn't get the OWL and NEWT certificates for divination?"
Trelawney seemed offended, she said loudly:
"When I entered school, my vision was awakened. No one at school could teach me. I was specially trained at home!
Certificates don’t mean anything, so many of the students I teach have received certificates! "
Professor Umbridge's toadlike mouth grinned wider as she whispered:
"I see, the education is a first-year dropout..."
She suddenly changed the topic: "I also heard that as long as you join your fee-paying cram school, you can help others open their third eye?"
"That's not a cram school, it's a club." Trelawney blushed.
"It's the same as Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club and Professor Flitwick's Fighting Club...Professors have the right to open such clubs."
She is doing the last struggle.
"Well," said Umbridge coquettishly, "well, I wonder if you could open a third eye for me?"
"I've been doing a lot of people lately and I've run out of energy, it's draining..."
Umbridge changed positions and asked:
"Then make a prophecy for me?"
Professor Trelawney tensed up all over, as if she couldn't believe her ears.
"I don't understand you." She clutched the shawl around her thin neck.
"I wish you could make a prophecy for me!" said Professor Umbridge clearly.
"Are you questioning me?" Trelawney was a little annoyed. "I gambled last summer and earned so many Galleons. According to my prophecy..."
"Please, for me, make...a prophecy!"
"If you insist..." Trelawney stared at Umbridge.
"Well... I think I did see something... about you... Ah, I felt something.
Something yellow... extremely disgusting, dangerous... surrounding you..."
Professor Trelawney pointed at Professor Umbridge with trembling fingers.
"You are in dire danger!"
"Not bad." Qiu whispered to William, "Professor Trelawney's prophecy will definitely come true tonight."
William fiddled with the Fool's card, thinking about Trelawney's prophecy to him just now, grinned and said:
"Praise the fool!"
