10 Chapter 10: Divination Talent

Early in the morning, Toby was dining with Gryffindor students this time. He met Fred and George's older brother Percy. While listening to Percy rambling on and on about studying hard, the Owls came in to deliver the latest news of the Daily Prophet.

Fred nudged Toby," Hey, there's news about your girlfriend's father Thomas Reeves."

"She's now my girlfriend," said Toby. Ignoring the twins' antics, he read the newspaper carefully. According to newspaper records, the British Ministry of Magic, the head of the Auror Office, Thomas Reeves went out on a mission yesterday morning, leading two Aurors to chase a group of Black Wizards and never return. Subsequently, the British Ministry of Magic sent out a large number of Aurors to search for traces of Thomas Reeves.In the valley, the Aurors found the corpses of two Aurors, and there were a lot of traces of the use of black magic to fight at the scene. At the scene of the battle, the Aurors also found Thomas Revo's broken wand. He is now presumed to be MIA and searches will proceed accordingly.

Toby looked over at the Slytherin table to see Cassandra's eyes were slightly red, but she refused to bow her head down and continued eating slowly. He also saw former-prefect Warner speaking to others as he pointed at Cassandra subtly.

"What's their drama?" asked Toby.

"It seems that Cassandra scolded Warner for being a trash Prefect," said George.

"I also think she is correct," said Fred.

"Wow, you are really wise George," said George.

" You too Fred," said Fred.

Toby rolled his eyes at their antics," I know you switched your Identities. Fred has a cut on his right thumb whereas you don't have any injury George."

"Cassandra! If it wasn't for your instigation, I wouldn't have gone to trouble at Hufflepuff college. If it wasn't for you, I would still be a prefect." A loud shout from Warner attracted everyone's eye's towards the Slytherin table.

Cassandra, on the other hand, did not lift her head and continued to drink the pumpkin juice sip by sip. Instead, a first-year Slytherin freshman next to her, who seemed a little overwhelmed, stood up and said,"Senior Warner, you can't blame Cassandra for this, right? In fact, Cassandra has done enough. She bravely fought with Alyssa using spells beyond her level. I don't think ~"

Seeing that the first-year Slytherin freshman actually stood up to contradict him, Warner stretched out his hand in anger, pushed the Slytherin freshman, and said viciously:

"Shut up for me! Do you think that since I'm not a prefect anymore, I can't deal with you?!"

With a push, Warner almost pushed the freshman down. Fortunately, someone behind him helped him.Seeing this scene, Cassandra finally stopped, raised her head slightly, looked at Warner with contempt, and said: "How can Slytherin have a student like you? You're like a dog without a bone. It's shameful enough that Slytherin lost yesterday, but here you are, again trying to gather attention!"

Hearing Cassandra's taunting, Warner was furious and stretched out his hand as if he wanted to slap Cassandra, but Cassandra was not afraid. She continued to sit on the bench, completely ignoring Warner. Looking into Cassandra's eyes, Warner''s hand stretched out halfway, but he did not continue, but then Warner's action caused an exclamation from the scene.

Everyone could see Warner suddenly picked up a glass full of pumpkin juice in front of Cassandra and flipped it over her head. Not to mention her hair, even her dress was soaked completely.

This sudden change really caused some soft hearted students to scream in the auditorium. Toby could no longer sit still. However, when Toby was about to get up, he was held down by two hands at the same time. It was Fred and George who had restrained him.

Fred winked at Toby," Come on, do you want to steal all the fun. Let us also have a turn at Warner."

George said," Looks like the reputation of the Weasley Twins needs to be reinforced again. Twin One, prepare to assault!"

Fred stood up on the table and yelled," "Wow, is this the honorable Slytherin? You really are a model student, PREFECT Warner!"

George continued the drama," Fred! How could you say that! Prefect Warner really is a model student, but oh wait. He's not a Perfect anymore. Carry on brother!"

Fred smiled," Well our former prefect shows his attitude towards his own Slytherin freshmen, so I wonder if other parents would even send their children next year to attend hogwarts."

Furious, Warner pulled out his wand but just like last time, he began hanging from the ceiling. Everyone simultaneously looked at Toby accusingly, but to their surprise, it was actually Alyssa who cast the spell. She put away her wand and said," I'm sorry. It looked like Warner was about to fall, so I helped him out.

"The magic power contained in this spell of yours is probably the level of fourth and fifth graders!" Cedric was the closest and felt the intensity of the spell so he couldn't help being surprised.

Alyssa waved her hands repeatedly and said: "No no no, mainly because my wand is a bit special. It can magnify the power of the spell, so it gives the impression of being stronger than normal."

At this moment, a feminine voice came, "Alyssa, who made you meddle in my business?!"

Everyone looked in the direction the voice came from, only to see Cassandra looking at Alyssa with red eyes and saying, "Are you pitying me? I'll tell you clearly, so listen up. I don't need your stupid pity!"

After speaking, Cassandra took her things and walked away with her head held high. Cedric looked at Cassandra's back, opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but was grabbed by Alyssa and turned to look at Alyssa, only to see Alyssa shaking her head. Cedric took back the words that came to his lips.

….

Couple of days passed by since that event during breakfast. Cassandra grew more and more reclused towards others including other Slytherins. She barely talked with anyone anymore except for Toby and occasionally Alyssa. Classes had gone by like usual according to the norms. One day, Toby attended an astronomy class with the Hufflepuffs in the astronomy tower. While he listened to Professor Sinestra talk about the stars and how different planets revolve around each other, he noticed that Alyssa was sleeping, undoubtedly bored from this lecture.

Suddenly, the door opened and from the door came a slightly thin middle aged woman. She had strange large spectacles that almost looked like thick goggles.

"Professor Trawley," exclaimed Professor Sinestra," What are you doing here?"

"Sinestra I've been sensing some sort of… of premonitions. Vague glimpses of a talented student here in the tower. My guidance is needed."

In front of all the students, Trelawney, who was rushing towards Alyssa at this time, must have been annoyed by the fact that Alyssa was sleeping in class.

In other classes, maybe everyone would be happy to see Alyssa's jokes, but Trelawney, who was so crazy, was really worrying. Seeing that a student was about to reach out to Alyssa, Professor Trelawney pointed at him. shout out:

"Stop!"

The student was startled by Trelawney's roar, his arm stopped unconsciously, and looked back at Trelawney in surprise, and the other students did the same, and couldn't figure out why Trelawney would lose her temper.

"You stay away from her! She's in a very rare dream divination! Don't disturb her!"

Trelawney walked around Alyssa, speaking as she walked, her eyes shining. Surprised, Toby remembered how rare people who could see the future are. But the main thing was that divination was usually a hereditary trait which again got him thinking about who Alyssa really was.

Everyone watched in astonishment as Professor Trelawney walked around Alyssa, and the light in Professor Trelawney's eyes, could be seen clearly. "My God, dream divination is actually a dream divination. I didn't expect that I could see someone performing dream divination in front of me."

"It's incredible that this first-year child can awaken such a talent She is simply a born prophet!"

"Perhaps, her ancestors had a prophet? Well, it's also possible!"

All the students present looked at Professor Trelawney in a stunned manner, chattering about something. Suddenly, Professor Trelawney seemed to remember something and hurriedly walked to the podium. Then, Professor Trelawney held a small jar in her hand and walked to her side.

"Merlin's beard, such a good talent, let me help you!"

I saw Professor Trelawney put his hand into the small jar, and then, with a fingernail, she filled a little dust-like thing, and then blew lightly on Alyssa

"Professor Trelawney, what are you talking about?"

A student asked curiously.

"Oh, it's human bone powder!"

Trelawney said disapprovingly.

But as soon as Trelawney finished speaking, a few students ran out of the classroom retching, and many other students were also pale.Seeing this scene, Professor Trelawney seemed to want to explain something, and hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong, I haven't done anything illegal. These are actually the bones of my great-great-grandmother, ground into powder!" After Professor Trelawney finished speaking, almost all the students covered their mouths and ran out retching.

"My great-great-grandmother was a true prophet!" Professor Trelawney said with some grievance in her eyes but students still panicked.

Suddenly, Alyssa started shaking inexplicably and her fist repeatedly started clenching. Startled Professor Trawley rushed forward and grabbed Alyssa's shoulders. "My dear, are you all right."

Unconsciously, Alyssa punched Professor Trawley on her left cheek and knocked her down. She opened her eyes to see Professor Trawley down on the floor. "Professor Trawley, are you all right?"

"Never mind me dear, what did you learn during your divination?"

"I was just dreaming, professor. You must be mistaken." Responded Alyssa, staring deeply into Trawley's eyes.

Professor Trawley averted her gaze and said," I see, well no matter. I must speak to Dumbeldore immediately." She left without any scruples leaving the class to wonder whether Alyssa was a divinist or not.

Shortly after the class, Professor Ilona, ​​the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts in the new semester, took the initiative to find Professor Trelawney. "Professor Trelawney, I heard that you have taught a student who can use dream divination, is that true?"

Trelawney grinned.

"Oh, its completely true. Although this is also related to Alyssa's talent, without my teaching, she couldn't wake it up so quickly!"

Received a positive answer from Professor Trelawney. At this time, Rosier, who was transformed into Ilona, ​​forcibly resisted the excitement in her heart, so as not to let herself jump up.

"So, what do you think of hes talent?"

Hearing Ilona's question, Professor Trelawney came up and said mysteriously:

"Excellent talent! I have never seen such a gifted child, but I'm afraid this will hurt her..."

Hearing what Professor Trelawney said, Ilona couldn't help but narrow her eyes and said in a deep voice: "She is a student of Hogwarts, whoever dares to attack her is an enemy of Dumbeldore!"

But Professor Trelawney still looked worried and said: "She can't study at Hogwarts all his life. One day, she will graduate and leave. You don't know how valuable a wizard with a gift for prophecy is in the eyes of many people! Someone can threaten her if she's not careful!"

Professor Trelawney's expression gradually distorted. Ilona immediately noticed something was wrong with Professor Trelawney, but instead of interrupting Professor Trelawney's speech, she listened intently. But the most important thing had already been confirmed: Alyssa really has the gift of prophecy. This is a gift that belongs to the Grindelwald family alone. Just like the Dumbledore family, they are born to be favored by the Phoenix. Most of the wizards of the Grindelwald family are born prophets.

This matter must be written to Albernotch and the others as soon as possible, Ilona thought to herself.In the past, every night, without being noticed, Ilona would send letters to him and the others about recent events, especially Alyssa's performance.

This was to let them know what happened in Hogwarts, and secondly, for Alyssa's safety, they had agreed that if they didn't receive a letter for more than three days, the Alliance would gather again to attack Hogwarts.

Ilona hurriedly said goodbye to Professor Trelawney and left. Not long after Ilona left, the figure of Hogwarts Headmaster Dumbledore appeared at the door of Professor Trelawney's room.After the two greeted each other, Dumbledore said straight to the point: "Professor Trelawney, I hope that Alyssa has the power of prophecy, let's stop here, you don't want to tell it to anyone else."

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Professor Trelawney nodded calmly, as if thoughtfully saying: "Headmaster Dumbledore, I understand what you mean. You are also afraid that someone will be approaching her because of her unique talent!"

"I heard from my grandmother that something like this happened in the past. When a wizard showed his talent for prophecy, she was imprisoned by a large wizard family to serve them, But don't worry, Headmaster Dumbledore, I will try my best to teach her and let her grow up as soon as possible"

Dumbledore listened quietly to what Professor Trelawney said, and finally said slowly: "I'm just afraid that she will grow too fast..."
