Chapter 305 Helga and Trelawney
"Les, save me!" After finding out that the person sitting next to her was Les, Daphne reached out to Les for help without any hesitation.
Les didn't like to help children with their homework. But after looking at the messy documents on the table and finding two divination homework assignments, he softened his heart.
When he was communicating enthusiastically with his old friend, she was conscientiously helping him with his homework. What's wrong with helping such an apprentice? !
"What's the matter?" Les wanted to hear what problem the girl encountered.
"What kind of spell did Professor White use in class? I looked up a lot of books but couldn't find it - have you seen any records in the letters of ancient wizards?"
Les thought for a while and told Daphne about the effect and solution of the spell.
"What a terrible curse!" Daphne exclaimed: "Is this the war magic of ancient wizards?"
Les nodded. Their magic at that time was indeed more cruel, and many spells were aimed at causing as much damage as possible.
After getting the answer from Les, Daphne's troubles were solved. Having solved the obstacle, she continued to do her homework excitedly.
While Les was helping the children with their homework, Helga also arrived at the West Tower.
After climbing the escalator, she entered the divination classroom and found that although there was no class at the moment, there were still several little girls surrounding Professor Trelawney to watch her divination.
"Welcome, a sage who does not belong to this era." After seeing the face clearly, Trelawney's heart was shocked. However, she did not show any expression on her face, but greeted Helga with that ethereal voice.
After seeing Professor White, several girls present were a little excited. They were very much looking forward to the conversation between Professor Trelawney and Professor White. But in order to maintain her own image, Trelawney found a reason to drive them out - otherwise, if she was embarrassed by this ancient wizard in a while, her image would be completely ruined.
"Oh! We have been immersed in the fog that covers the future for too long, so that our eyes are surrounded by confusion. Lavender, Miss Parvati, if you don't leave now, you will be late. Now you have to work harder to catch up."
After Professor Trelawney pointed it out, the girls realized that they had been delayed for too long here, and it was almost time for class.
Several girls quickly got up from the cushions and hurriedly left the Divination Classroom.
"Please sit down." After the girls left, Trelawney politely asked Hufflepuff to sit down first.
Hufflepuff chose a ginger-colored cushion and sat down, and then found a schoolbag next to her cushion, which should be left here by the student just now.
She put the schoolbag aside and looked at Sybil Trelawney in front of her.
Helga didn't have any special impression of this Divination professor, but she felt that she was wearing a lot of accessories. When Hufflepuff observed Trelawney, Trelawney was also observing Hufflepuff.
After careful consideration for a few seconds, Trelawney spoke.
"Even if I have the third eye, I still cannot clear the fog in front of me because of the turmoil in the world..." Trelawney said a lot of words in mysterious words to the Hufflepuff sitting opposite her. This pile of words condensed into one meaning: What do you want to see me for?
"I have seen your ancestor before, and she left a deep impression on me, so I came here to meet the descendants of the prophet." Helga made it clear.
Knowing that the person in front of her was an old friend of her ancestor, Trelawney was both worried and happy: she was happy about White's praise, but also worried about her true and false being seen through.
"The ability to divination runs in the blood of the Trelawney family." She could only answer with some real nonsense.
"At the same time, there is also a curse passed down." Helga's face was full of regret: "Can you do a divination for me?"
"With pleasure." At this point, Professor Trelawney certainly couldn't refuse. She thought for a moment, took a crystal ball from the shelf at the edge of the classroom, and prepared to do a crystal ball divination.
She first fixed the crystal ball on the table, then took out a brazier and began to add various herbs into it.
Seeing Professor Trelawney do this, Helga's eyes lit up: she remembered that the prophet of the Trelawney family also used this method to start the crystal ball divination.
She remembered the herbal formula used by the prophet clearly!
The kind-hearted Hufflepuff drew out his wand and helped Trelawney summon the various herbs needed for the crystal ball divination. Some of the herbs are rare in the modern magic world, and she also used her own collection.
Trelawney:?
She stared at the various herbs in the brazier with a wide eye, not knowing why.
After Helga packed the herbs, she said with regret: "Dragon blood fern and chrysanthemum leaves are rare, but I still have some in stock. If they are missing, the effect of crystal ball divination will be greatly reduced, right?"
Trelawney suddenly realized: these herbs that Professor White conjured are used to assist crystal ball divination! Considering that she had seen the prophet before, that is to say...
The pot of herbs in front of her is the herbal formula used by the prophet to assist divination!
Trelawney couldn't sit still all of a sudden. As a descendant of the prophet, she inherited almost nothing except a surname, so she naturally didn't know the herbal formula. As a result, fate was so coincidental that it brought the wisdom of the ancestors to her side!
If she could, she wanted to drive Professor White out of the divination class and then carefully study what was in the basin, but she couldn't do that.
Trelawney could only suppress her inner excitement and responded with a trembling voice: "Yes, without the assistance of these two herbs, it is more difficult to remove the obstacles on the third eye. Thank you, Professor White..."
She muttered something in her mouth, but her hands were not idle. Professor Trelawney quickly fiddled with the herbs in the brazier, desperately imprinting the names of the herbs she knew in her mind, and she also tried her best to remember the appearance of those herbs she didn't know.
After feeling that she remembered almost everything, Professor Trelawney stood up, lit the herbs in the brazier, and introduced the generated smoke into the crystal ball.
According to the process in the book, the next step should be to analyze the shape of the smoke in the crystal ball and interpret the prophecy, but somehow, maybe she accidentally inhaled some smoke, Trelawney just felt dizzy.
"It's over..." This was her last thought before she fell into a coma.
