Albert noticed the change in Isobel's expression and suddenly felt like laughing.
After all, he knew something about Professor Trelawney, who predicted the death of a student every year.
Predicting that someone will have bad luck is not a strange thing. After all, it is part of the job.
The divinations made by Professor Trelawney, who has not entered a special divination state, can be listened to as entertainment and there is no need to take them seriously.
At this moment, Professor Trelawney had returned to her seat, fetched a book from somewhere, and began to explain to the three people the use of ancient magic runes in divination and how to interpret the results of prophecies. Professor Babel would sometimes raise some questions and sometimes make some supplements.
Unlike Isobel, Albert was listening with great interest. He was thinking about how to acquire the skill of runestone divination for himself.
Professor Trelawney's divination may not be reliable, but her own panel skills are very reliable.
The ability of divination is actually a skill that Albert wants, but what he wants to learn is crystal ball divination. As for the rune stone divination that he has come into contact with now, it is purely accidental. If he can learn it, it will naturally be good.
After all, no one would complain about having too many skills.
There are actually many types of Runestone divination: one, three, five, six, seven. Professor Trelawney was very interested in explaining to them the methods of interpreting all the Runestones.
Isobel was obviously getting a little impatient, but she still listened to Trelawney patiently, while Albert was daydreaming, checking whether there was any ancient runestone divination on the panel skills.
During this period, Professor Trelawney performed divination on them twice more, apparently to prove her identity as a fortune teller.
However, Albert's predictions were all about future fortune. As it turned out, his future fortune would be very good.
After all, once may be an accident, twice may also be an accident, but if it happens three times, the probability of an accident will be much smaller, right
Could it be that Professor Trelawney is actually some hidden boss
In contrast to Albert, Isobel is simply a negative example. All the prophecies warn him that there will be danger in the near future and he must make a choice.
In the last divination, Ward (i.e. the empty symbol) actually appeared.
"You will encounter difficulties that are beyond human control. It may come so suddenly that you have no way to control it." Professor Trelawney was actually shocked by herself. She knew her own divination level, but she didn't expect to meet two people whose divinations were similar three times in a row.
Although Professor Trelawney was surprised, she pretended to be so, making herself look unfathomable.
"You will undoubtedly run into trouble," Trelawney concluded. "And it may be your choice. I am sorry you did not choose my Divination class. You are quite gifted in it."
Albert wanted to laugh after hearing this. What did Isobel say just now
“I don’t have the talent for it.”
Isobel obviously noticed the expression on Albert's face and turned her head away and ignored him.
"I would be very happy if you could choose my class." Trelawney chatted with Professor Babel for a few more words and prepared to leave. "This is my gift to you."
Professor Trelawney gave Albert the bag of rune stones, the cloth for setting up the formation, and the book of Runestone Divination. She whispered, "Good luck to you. Oh, your luck is good enough, isn't it?"
Albert was a little confused. He never thought that Professor Trelawney would give these things to him. What was this? Did he think he really had a talent for divination
However, Albert scanned the skill panel again and still couldn't find the Runestone Divination skill.
"Congratulations, Anderson," Isobel teased after Professor Trelawney left.
“Thank you. If I really have a talent for divination, I’ll set up a stall to tell fortunes for people.” Albert said jokingly without changing his expression. “But your trouble is no problem.”
It might not be true that it happened three times in a row, but it was pretty bad.
Albert opened the book "Runestone Divination" and twitched his face slightly. He handed it to Isobel and said, "Divination still depends on talent."
What Trelawney said was apparently taken directly from above.
Albert was not surprised at all, and showed an expression that said, "As expected."
"The prophecy is actually quite interesting." Albert silently took out a rune stone from his bag and fell silent.
"Reverse Eihwaz" Albert glanced at the Runestone in his hand. What was he trying to measure just now
“Will this semester be in danger?”
"This is a very clear warning, warning you to be careful... This is not a good sign." He remembered what Professor Trelawney said.
Is this dangerous
Or were the runes not mixed well enough
"What's wrong with you?" Isobel asked.
"Nothing." Albert sighed, "I just calculated for myself, I will be in danger this semester."
"Why do you think you're in danger?" Isobel asked.
"After all, a lot happened last semester," said Albert.
The three chatted for a while, each expressing their own views on Runestone divination. Very few people can truly foresee the future...
As for the following words, no one said anything, but it was obvious that everyone understood what the other meant.
"Okay, let's stop here for today," Professor Babeling said to the two.
The two of them stood up and prepared to say goodbye and leave, when suddenly, Professor Babel called Albert.
"Mr. Anderson, I have something to talk to you about."
Isobel looked at Albert suspiciously, then stood up and left.
"Professor Babel, is there anything I can help you with?" Albert asked.
"I am planning to publish a book about ancient magic runes. I have already chosen a name for it: Advanced Magic Rune Translation." Professor Babeling suddenly said.
Albert was stunned for a moment, and understood what Professor Babel meant.
The other party wants him to help her complete the book
"You want me to help you finish this book?" Albert asked uncertainly.
"Yes." Professor Babel said, "I hope you can join in the compilation and revision of this book."
Albert opened his mouth but didn't say anything, just listened quietly to what Professor Babel had to say.
"I hope it can become an important reference book for studying ancient runes." Professor Barbling said helplessly, "Earlier, I was planning to use Mr. McDougal's "Basic Runes" as a reference book, but I found that this book is still too difficult for everyone, so I hope..."
In fact, Albert also knew that the study of ancient runes was not about magic, but more about literature. The ancient runes class at Hogwarts taught the understanding and translation of ancient runes.
After graduation, they usually work in areas with ancient magical relics, a bit like Muggle archaeologists.
If you want to study magic, the starting point is too high, above the newt level.
Mr. McDougal's "Complete Solution to Basic Rune" is extremely difficult even for wizards like them who are proficient in ancient rune, let alone others.
"Okay, I'll try my best. I'm really good at translating magic words." Albert nodded in agreement. Although Professor Babeling gave it a high-level name, anyone with a discerning eye would know what the content was after reading it.
"That's great." Professor Babel was very happy. She asked Albert for help, and of course she knew how good Albert was at translating magic words.
As she spoke, she waved her wand, conjured up a paper bag out of thin air, and handed it to Albert.
"When Mr. McDougal published Advanced Magic Rune Research, I had already conceived this book." Professor Babel said softly, "Later, I revised some parts."
"Well..." Albert considered his words and said, "Actually, I think... it's pretty good."
"I won't let you help in vain. I will give you half of the money I earn from this book, and I will also write your name on it," said Professor Barbling.
"No need for names, as for Galleons..." Albert was a little skeptical about how many copies of this thing could be sold, but he didn't say anything more.
After a moment of silence, Albert spoke again, "I hope to borrow books related to ancient magic from the restricted section of the library."
"No problem." Professor Babel nodded and began to look for parchment and a quill.
When leaving the Ancient Magic Classroom, Albert was holding a folder with a complicated look on his face. It was a pleasant thing to have Professor Babel's signature from the restricted area in his pocket.
"That would make me number two," he murmured.
"What do you mean second place?" A voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
Albert looked in the direction of the voice and found Isobel standing not far away, staring at him.
"You haven't left yet?" Albert looked at the other person in surprise.
"I want to ask you something," Isobel said.
"About divination?"
"No. It's a bet between you and Katrina," Isobel said.
"You want me to give in?"
"I don't know what you want to do, or why you want to do this, but I hope you can make this bet in secret and not let too many people know about it." Isobel said, "I will be your witness at the first Quidditch game of the year."
"Sure, I have no problem with that."
