[HP] I was the scroll king at Hogwarts

After standing in the long queue for half an hour, the two of Alice finally saw the true faces of the so-called Trelawney descendants.

"You can just call me Trelawney." Trelawney was still wearing the brim of her hat, groping for something with her head down, "Divination is one Galleon at a time, past, present, and future."

"It's expensive!" Alice blurted out. It was a money grab. "Carrie, let's go."

"Wait." Carrie grabbed Alice's sleeve, her eyes gleaming, "After all, they are descendants of Trelawney, so it is understandable that they are more expensive."

"but……"

"I'll treat."

"Ok, no problem."

"Hehe, you won't regret it." Trelawney pointed to the chair in front of the table, "Who will come first?"

"You treat yourself first." Alice took the initiative to retreat.

Carrie didn't refuse, and sat down carelessly: "What kind of divination? Tea divination?"

"I don't do such mysterious things." Trelawney seemed to look down on this kind of divination. "It's all made up by incompetent liars to fool people."

She took out a crystal ball: "You just need to choose the past, the present or the future, and the crystal ball will give me the answer."

Please, Alice standing behind complained silently, isn't it more mysterious for you?

"Can I only choose one?"

"One Galleon at a time."

"Oh, then I want the present and the future." Carrie took out a Galleon, "Look at the present first."

"How can you measure the present?" Alice couldn't help but ask, "And why are you so rich recently?"

"Didn't it mean that you didn't come to Hogsmeade with me before? The money will be saved." Carrie explained quickly while staring at the crystal ball, "And I'm curious, what is there to divination now."

"Ahem." Trelawney coughed twice, "Please be quiet."

Alice and Carrie fell silent for a moment.

Trelawney took out a black earthen jar, lit a piece of paper and threw it in, and the magical aroma immediately permeated the tent.

"Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme." Her hand began to draw circles over the crystal ball. "I see, I see your present."

Carrie swallowed, her face tense.Alice frowned. Why does this strange spell feel so familiar?

"You're very happy now," Trelawney said.

So accurate, Carrie nodded frantically: "And then?"

"Nothing."

"..." Carrie's eyes widened in disbelief, "I spent a Galleon, and you just give me this sentence?"

"No way, that's what the crystal ball shows." Trelawney pulled her hat down, "Do you still need divination in the future?"

"Carrie, why don't we go?" Alice always felt that they were cheated.

"Take it! Why not take it!" Carrie slapped a Gallon on the table with a ferocious face, "Look at my future."

"Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme." Trelawney closed her eyes and raised her head, drawing a circle on the crystal ball again, "I see it, I see your future."

Alice glanced at Carrie worriedly, her face was so dark that she would burn the tent down in a second.

"Your future is very happy."

Carrie's chest began to heave, and her right hand had reached her wand.

"You have a handsome husband."

Carrie took out half of her wand and put it back in.

"You will still have a lovely son." Trelawney wiped the sweat from her brow, "Although you haven't achieved much in your career, your future is undoubtedly very happy."

Under Alice's unbelievable gaze, Carrie smiled: "As expected of Trelawney's descendants, it's quite accurate."

"Carrie?"

"I think it's very accurate." Carrie stood up and patted Alice on the shoulder. "She not only said that I didn't have much success in my career, but also said that my future husband is very handsome."

Words, definitely words!Alice was dissatisfied.

It's just an old psychological trick, a good thing plus a bad thing, the good thing outweighs the bad thing, and the customer will be happy to accept it.

Carrie grandly put another two Galleons on the table: "You can't favor one person over another, and I will also give two Galleons to my friend."

"Okay, please sit down." Trelawney quickly took the Galleon from the table, "Past, present and future, please choose."

The money was taken away before Alice could respond, and she had no choice but to choose: "The past and the present."

As soon as these words came out, both Carrie and Trelawney were stunned.

"Guest, are you sure?"

"Alice, why don't you predict the future?"

"Because I don't like the feeling of the future being decided." Alice shrugged indifferently, "You can start divination directly."

Although she doesn't want to admit it, countless examples tell her that there are indeed prophets among wizards, and the future can indeed be predicted.

But compared to foreknowledge, she believes that this may be a special rule that belongs to the magical world.

Originally, everyone's future has unlimited possibilities, but once it is predicted, people will be subconsciously affected, and the result of things will finally match the prediction.

Of course, this is not a prophecy or nonsense. She guessed that the prophecy itself may be a kind of magic, a magic that is so powerful that it can affect future development.

"Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. . . . I see, I see your past."

It was the same thing again, the more Alice heard the spell, the more familiar it became. From the history of magic to the book of spells, she couldn't think of where to hear it.

"Your kinship is so thin that I can barely see it."

As soon as Trelawney said this, Alice and Carrie, who was watching the play, were stunned. They looked at each other, and they both saw a deep sense of disbelief in their eyes.

"You should have been miserable before."

Alice was a little restless, which must have been a little scary.

"All in all, I saw that you had a miserable life in the past." Trelawney observed the expressions of the two and showed a satisfied smile. "As I said, my divination is very accurate."

"What about now?" Carrie on the side couldn't help urging.

"Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.  … I see it, I see you now."

It was the same incantation again, only this time both Alice and Carrie straightened up and looked tense.

"You are living happily now."

The past just now must have been hoodwinked, Alice felt a little bit of Carrie's feeling, because she also wanted to take out her wand and burn the tent down.

"But!" Trelawney suddenly raised her voice, "But there are difficulties and dangers hidden around you. Whether this difficulty is big or small, it depends on whether you can overcome it."

"As for the danger." Her voice became ethereal, "Be careful! Be careful of the enemies hiding in the dark."

Alice and Carrie looked at each other, stunned.

"Okay, the divination is over." Trelawney returned to normal in an instant, "If there is nothing else, the guests can leave."

……

"Why are we so different now?" Carrie looked at the tent not far away, very puzzled, "Why does my divination feel so watery?"

"Isn't it good to live happily now and in the future?" Alice replied absent-mindedly, "For things like divination, the simpler the result, the better."

Carrie nodded: "Are you thinking about the sleepiness and danger she just said?"

"Hmm. The difficulty is nothing. It's just a matter of learning and experimenting. I'm confident that I can overcome it."

The main reason is that the danger she said made Alice care. Hogwarts couldn't be safer, so there is no danger.And she didn't offend anyone.

Or Rita Skeeter?But it has been so long, even if she retaliates, it will be troublesome at most, and it will not be dangerous.

"Merlin! You cheated even the child, pay back the money!" A shrill female voice suddenly interrupted Alice's train of thought.

I saw a fat, middle-aged witch holding a wand in her right hand, dragging a crying boy with her left hand, and rushing directly into the tent.

Even after a distance, Alice and Alice could still hear the witch's roar, mixed with the cry of the little boy.

"Damn it, that's ten Galleons, you can do something to a child!"

"He did it voluntarily. I can't push customers out of the door when I do business." Trelawney's voice also became sharper.

"I've checked it a long time ago. Your surname is not Trelawney at all, but you are just using your name to deceive yourself!"

"So what if my surname is not Trelawney, I really know how to do divination."

"Ah bah, you've only been studying for a year!" The middle-aged witch seemed to have slapped her son, making the child's cries even more miserable. "Everyone comment, such a young child, she cheated ten Galleons!"

"Tell me," Carrie said suddenly, "I'm going to ask for the money now, will she pay it back?"

"I don't know." Alice shook her head, "But I advise you not to go."

"why?"

"Because it's more dangerous over there now." Alice pointed to the blue smoke rising in the distance, "It seems that the mother has done something we dare not do."

"Well, let's spend four Galleons to learn a lesson." Carrie wanted to cry, but it was four Galleons, so she could buy a bottle of better skin care products.

"But why was that liar able to divination your past?" She began to wonder, "Maybe she really has some skills?"

"Because my fortune-telling was requested by you, it means that at least I'm not particularly rich." Alice calmed down and began to analyze, "They are all students, and there will always be situations where living expenses are not enough to live in embarrassment."

"Similarly, teenage students are at a time when their relationship with their parents is tense, and she can't be wrong to say that."

"I see."

"Ah! That's right." Alice remembered something and hummed.

"Why are you humming all of a sudden?" Carrie was puzzled, "but the tune is so familiar."

"Aren't you familiar?" Alice sang. "Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, remember to give my regards to a man who lives there ..."
