The north tower of Hogwarts Castle.
Above a small staircase in the Divination classroom.
This is the office of the Divination professor at Hogwarts - Schelling can confirm that this is definitely the shabbiest office in Hogwarts. There is nothing in it except a desk and a bed.
Professor Trelawney opened her eyes wide and said in her signature soft, slurred voice: "Welcome to my office, you are -"
"Hello, Professor, I am Sherrin from the Malfoy family, and I am here to greet you."
"Oh, Malfoy's second son? I've heard your name, uh... it seems that you are not my student..." Professor Trelawney said with some confusion.
"Professor, it's like this. I'm encountering some difficulties in the world now, so I came to seek your help. I hope that you can help me find the answer through your third eye and your field of vision." Xie Lin politely expressed his request.
"Interesting." Professor Trelawney said calmly, "Why would you want to ask me for help?"
She continued: "Did you know that in my teaching career for the past ten years, you are the first student to come to me for guidance!"
"I have heard the name of your great-grandmother. Cassandra Trelawney is undoubtedly a true master of prophecy." Sherin said.
"But, 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 that I can predict? ?”
"Professor, why do you care so much about the opinions of the fools in the world? Most wizards do not believe in so-called prophecies, especially bad news. Therefore, no one will be willing to believe in prophecies before a real disaster strikes. This is Humanity!”
Xie Lin continued: "As for me, I believe that Professor you know prophecy, but you cannot control your prophecy ability and you cannot use it as you wish..." Xie Lin's tone was full of confidence.
"Oh, interesting, why do you think that?" Professor Trelawney's eyes flashed with shrewdness. She had met countless people with her half-hearted divination skills without being exposed, and observing colors has almost become her custom. Instinctively, she sensed in Schelling a depth and wisdom that was no less than that of Dumbledore. To deal with this kind of person, all deceptions and deceitful methods are useless. It is better to speak directly and clearly.
"Although Professor Dumbledore is old, he is still not confused. He will decide to hire you as the Divination professor at Hogwarts. He obviously thinks you have such qualifications."
"Yeah..." Professor Trelawney said to herself, "I admit that Dumbledore did not have a good impression of divination at first. At that time, he told me that Hogwarts was planning to offer a divination class. I was invited to be a professor, but before that, Dumbledore wanted me to give him a prophecy."
"Although I no longer remember the content of that prophecy, shortly after that, probably after the fall of the mysterious man, I came to Hogwarts as a divination professor. At that time, there was no so-called divination class in the school."
"It seems that the prophecy has come true." Xie Lin said softly.
"Getting back to the subject, since you know that I have not mastered my prophecy ability, the purpose of coming to me is..."
Xie Lin took out a bottle of magic potion from his arms, "This is a magic potion I specially refined. It can permanently increase a person's spiritual awareness (psyche), or in layman's terms, sentience (sentience). The main material is ten Even I only have one bottle of the rare Tears of the Adult Thunderbird. For you diviners, it is even more precious, as it can enhance your ability to see."
(Note: The rarity of thunderbirds is about the same as that of phoenixes. They are protected species in North America. The one Newt saved was only smuggled to Egypt)
There were various changes in Trelawney's eyes. She was not a fool. Sherin was able to deliver such a precious potion to her door. It was obvious that he had a big plan.
Although she is very excited, she is used to living a comfortable life. Although she is often looked down upon in school, she has no worries about food and clothing, and there are no risks in her life. If she really has any emotional problems because of this, it is One bottle of Sherry will solve the problem, and if that doesn't work, then two bottles.
She decided to go straight to the point, "What do you need me to do for you?"
Xie Lin smiled and said: "The professor is a smart man, and Xie Lin will not ask for too much. Two things - first, I hope that the professor can divine for me ten times without violating personal principles," Xie Lin's His eyes suddenly became sharp, and his gaze was locked on Trelawney's eyes.
"Second, I hope that the professor can form an alliance with the Malfoy family. You can continue to be your professor in Hogwarts, but if you can, help the forces I represent. Of course, you will not let Professor, you are at a disadvantage, and every time you make a move, you can offer me a bottle of magic potion in exchange, how about that?"
Trelawney hesitated only briefly before agreeing.
Xie Lin's offer was very generous, and being on good terms with the Malfoy family, which was at its peak, would be of no harm to her at this moment. Although she was a professor, multiple paths meant more choices. !
Dumbledore was not immortal. If one day he was fired by some blind principal, at least she would have somewhere to go.
["Ally" Sybill Trelawney obtained! 】
Schelling used up his first divination opportunity. He chose to use it on Wilda Griffith. This was a good test. Let him see Trelawney's true strength!
Trelawney poured the entire potion into his mouth.
She closed her eyes and indulged in the surge of spiritual awareness. A strange mark 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.
"Is this the legendary Third Eye?" Xie Lin thought to himself. It seemed that he had made the right bet. The power of Trelawney's blood did not disappoint him.
The innate ability of divination also has levels, and Celestial Eye is undoubtedly the top one.
The crystal ball on Trelawny's desk suddenly burst into dazzling light, projecting a very real illusion just like a Muggle projector.
The vision showed a small room that looked like a warehouse on the inside. There were no windows except for a door. Sherin could see Griffith sitting in a chair with a black cloth on her head. Her eyes were covered, her hands were tied behind the back of the chair by a weird rope, and her feet were also fixed to the two chair legs.
There are two men in the room. One is sitting on a chair leisurely smoking a famous wizard cigar, and the other is pacing back and forth in the room with a very nervous expression. The only thing in common is that the two men are holding hands tightly. holding a magic wand.
In the picture, Griffith tilted his head, as if he had fallen into a coma. As long as there was even the slightest sign of waking up, a stun spell would be released again.
"That's amazing," Xie Lin praised, "Professor, can you please look farther away from your third eye and let me see what the outside of this room looks like..."
The picture began to show some rippling fluctuations, as if the illusion was a little unstable. Just after the picture began to slowly become blurry, Trelawny's Third Eye marks lit up again, and the entire picture slowly rose upwards. People and objects slowly became smaller, and Xie Lin saw the appearance of the building where the room was located.
The appearance of the building looks like the most ordinary small warehouse in the Muggle world, but this cannot fool Sherrin. This is definitely the work of a wizard. The entire warehouse is exuding invisible magic waves, probably because of the Muggle Expelling Curse.
Judging by the angles of sunlight and shadow, the building is located in northern England. Coupled with clues inferred from other nearby buildings and scenery, the range has been narrowed down to about a dozen.
That's enough. Give these clues to Scrimgeour and the rest is up to the Aurors.
It was enough for him to be able to achieve this point. He not only earned the favor of Devrill and Slughorn, but also allowed Scringeour to receive the credit. At the same time, he also tested Trelawney's strength, but It's said to kill four birds with one stone!
Schelling was pleased with Trelawney's display of divination.
Then he made a second divination request, not to Meredith, but to Madame Chabini!
Divination is not omnipotent. If Meredith's current location is protected by the Loyalty Charm, then even if she knows the location, it will be useless. She will just be blocked from entering the Shafiq ancestral home last time.
The reason why Madam Shabini was chosen for divination was precisely because Schelling suspected that she was the female member who appeared that day in the Shadow of the Dragon!
Professor Trelawney first rested for a while. She had not yet fully adapted to her complete bloodline talent, so the divination just now consumed a lot of her energy.
She entered the meditative state again. With the last experience, her third eye was activated faster, and the marks on her forehead were much clearer than last time.
The picture in the illusion showed two long wooden boxes that looked like coffins. Many mysterious ancient rune talismans were carved on the wooden boxes. According to Schelling, they were used to isolate the influence from the outside world, so as to better preserve the coffins. things inside.
Then, the scene flashed and moved to an altar - the altar also held the two previous coffins, but this time the coffins faintly emitted the magic wave that Schelling was very familiar with.
This is soul magic! Xie Lin had a very bad feeling in his heart. What on earth did they want to do?
Soon, two figures walked onto the altar, one was Madame Shabini, and the other Xie Lin had never met her before, but he still recognized her - it was Madame Selwyn!
Mrs. Chabiny and Mrs. Selwyn were whispering something there. Since the picture was a bit blurry and Trelawney's illusion magic was not strong enough to project the sounds, Schelling could not guess what they were talking about.
Wait a moment? This character relationship diagram seems a bit confusing... The Selwyn family is obviously a pure-blood family 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 matter of profit distribution, and there is no conflict in philosophy between the two parties.
What the hell is Mrs. Selwyn and the Shadow of the Dragon getting together now?
Is this the Selwyn family’s biggest secret? Or is this actually Mrs. Selwyn's personal secret and the family is not aware of it?
At this moment, Professor Trelawney let out a soft cry, and the entire screen shook, with spiderweb-like cracks appearing, and finally shattered into pieces, turning into dots of starlight and dissipating.
Professor Trelawney seemed to have cast too many spells and fell asleep from exhaustion.
Xie Lin thought for a long time, left a note, and turned to leave.
