Hogwarts Reading Days

"I don't understand, I really don't understand, what are these things!"

Li Qiaodan, who had just left the divination classroom, looked anxious.

This divination class did not teach you anything useful.Most of the time, Professor Trelawney asked them to use the content of the fifth and sixth pages of the future book to decipher the shape of the tea leaves.

Later, Fred's cup actually allowed Professor Trelawney to decipher the worst omen of death

This made Lee Jordan very uncomfortable, because he was responsible for interpreting Fred's cup.

"Don't you take it seriously?" Albert said suddenly, feeling the oppressive atmosphere around him.

Several roommates stopped and looked at Albert.

"As far as I know, Professor Sybil Trelawney has predicted the death of a student every year since she came to this school." Albert calmly related the fact, "Foreseeing the signs of death is her favorite way to welcome new students." Way."

"Every year?" Fred couldn't help asking.

"Yes, it happens every year." Albert patted Fred on the shoulder and said, "Up to now, none of them have died."

"It seems that you don't have to die." George smiled and put his arms around his brother's shoulders.

"Yeah, that's great." Fred couldn't help but sigh, "To be honest, I was also taken aback by Professor Trelawney's prophecy."

"But...the prophecy..." Li Qiaodan was still struggling with this matter.

"Of course the prophecy is false. I suspect that Professor Trelawney can't predict at all. At least, she can't directly help people predict the future like those fortune tellers. Otherwise, she will definitely show us her prophecy ability during class, There's nothing more convincing than doing that."

"Then what's going on with your prophecy?" Li Qiaodan still asked unwillingly.

"Of course it's a trick to deceive people." Albert noticed a group of people eavesdropping, and said with a curl of his lips, "Since Harry Potter came to Hogwarts, Principal Dumbledore has been mysterious in the castle again With a no-go zone, I always felt that something bad might happen."

"You guy, I thought..." Li Qiaodan stared at Albert dumbfounded, knowing that he had been cheated again.

"We've been together for two years, and you still don't know Albert!" George asked whether you were one of us or not.

"Albert still needs a prophecy?" Fred teased. "He doesn't need it. If you really want to prophesy, just say it. It's guaranteed to be more accurate than the prophecy."

The twins looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

That's right, in the view of the Weasley brothers, Albert's mouth was more accurate than prophecy.

As for Professor Trelawney's death prophecy, it is likely to be true as her way of welcoming new students. Just ask someone about this kind of thing, and you will know whether it is true or not.

As for whether Albert will predict, Fred and George are more inclined to this guy, and he probably will.

There is no way, his mouth has already said a lot of things.Another point is that Albert doesn't like to let too many people know some things, such as whether he can divination.Maybe Albert didn't mind telling them about these things in private, but asking them in public was deliberately provocative.

Moreover, this guy likes to say some truths, some lies, and some half-truths, making people completely confused about which are the truth and which are lies.

Fred and George never asked some more secretive things in front of everyone, and even if they asked, it was purely joking.

If you want to know something, just go back to the dormitory at night and ask in private.

That's why Li Qiaodan's stiff head couldn't turn around for a while.

Both Fred and George cast glances at Lee Jordan to tell him to shut up, and then changed the subject.

"There will be a Transfiguration class next, and a Magical Creatures class and Potions class in the afternoon. The classes are full these days, which is really uncomfortable."

"Your math divination is just like that." George asked with a frown when they passed the empty corridor.

"No, I've sent my avatar to go to class, well, don't ask me how I did it, it needs to be kept secret." Albert took out his pocket watch to check the time, and said when he walked into the boys' bathroom next to him, "wait for me a bit."

Albert pushed the door of the compartment lightly, and found that the door of the compartment was locked. He knocked it lightly three times, and the door of the compartment was also knocked three times. Albert turned and walked into the compartment next to him , Just when the door was closed, the originally locked door opened, and Albert walked out from inside with a tired face.

As for the compartment where the door had just been locked, Albert was taking out the Time Converter from his leather pouch, wearing it around his neck, and turning the Time Converter once.

Albert felt that his time was going backwards quickly, and something seemed to be knocking in his ears. The next moment, he felt that his feet were on solid ground, and everything was focused together again.

Putting away the time converter, he took out the pocket watch from his pocket to check the time, and Albert quickly walked out of the boys' bathroom, ready to go to math divination class.

"Speaking of which, the place where the class of arithmetic and divination seems to be in classroom 7a on the eighth floor." Albert muttered to himself, "Oh, it's really annoying to have to run a long distance."

"Numerology" of arithmetic divination is a branch of arithmetic that refers to the mystical relationship between many events and simultaneous events.

Wakefield's Numeral Divination and Graphs was a book Albert had read during the summer vacation, and it was not very friendly to most wizards who had never really learned mathematics.

These things reminded him of a book called the Kabbalah Numeral Code, which was the Jewish esoteric divination, the so-called "mathematics" in people's mouth.

In Albert's view, the arithmetic field in the magic world is equivalent to a mixture of probability calculations and a bunch of weird things.

If that's the case, maybe it can explain why the spellbreaker needs to be proficient in this thing.

This would allow them to assess the success rate of the cure without actually performing it, which meant they could minimize the risk of the spell failing.

When Albert appeared on the fourth floor of the castle through a shortcut and was about to go to the eighth floor through other secret passages, he happened to see the two unlucky guys who talked back to Filch, Ron Weiss of the red-haired Weasley family Lai, there is another... the famous Harry Potter.

"Red-haired Weasley, hum, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, students are forbidden to go to the restricted corridor on the fourth floor."

As soon as Albert approached, he heard Filch's angry voice.

"Get lost, I don't believe that you will be so coincidental that you are going to get lost in the restricted area on the fourth floor."

Soon, Albert saw a person going there. It was Professor Quirrell. He should be going to check the protection checkpoint, and he happened to help two unlucky people who got lost.

"If I see you all going to get lost and enter the restricted area again." Filch looked angrily at the two who had escaped and threatened, "Just go to confinement, maybe a day in the dungeon will help. Keep your heads clear."

When Harry and Ron passed the corner, they found Albert standing at the corner, looking at them with a half-smile.

"As expected of Weasley, are you planning to go to the restricted area of ​​the school on the first day of school?" Albert looked at Ron and said softly.

"No, we're just lost," Ron argued.

"We were just looking for Charms," ​​Harry muttered under his breath.

"Then go, go straight from here, and you will arrive soon after passing through the armor corridor." Albert said softly, "If you get lost, it's better to ask someone for directions instead of wandering around the school by yourself , That's what people with no brains will do, believe me, many people will be willing to help you lead the way, Potter, as long as you open your mouth."

Harry and Ron trotted in the direction Albert pointed.

"You know him?" Harry asked quietly.

"Fred and George invited him to my house during the summer vacation this year, and my father and mother also like him very much." Ron said dryly, "It is said that he is a very powerful genius."

"But why did he say that too?" Harry couldn't help asking.

"Fred and George like to be mischievous in school, he probably thought I would be like them." Speaking of this, Ron was a little depressed, and he suddenly knew why Filch would target them. Eighty percent have something to do with Fred and George.

Albert didn't know what Harry and Ron had said, and he finally took a shortcut to the Arithmetic and Divination classroom before class.

The teacher of this class is Professor Victor, and she explains to them what arithmetic divination is.

...refers to a form of divination based on assumptions that assign numerical values ​​to words or phrases.Although this may seem contradictory at first glance, arithmetic employs a more rigorous and mathematical approach to predicting the future.

Well, this is actually the original words in digital divination and graphics.

"...Mathematical divination requires rigorous logic." Professor Victor said to the students below who heard their heads swell, "You can't make up random things, don't think that you can deal with me by filling in a bunch of numbers in your homework."

Next, Professor Victor asked them to look at the dense numbers on the blackboard, and began to teach everyone how to do mathematical divination.

Except for a few Muggle-born students such as Shanna and Albert, most of the students in the class frowned and listened carefully.

No way, it is undoubtedly very difficult for a group of students who have not fully mastered the four arithmetic operations to learn mathematics divination.

However, Albert understood it easily, well, the content is probability calculation.

"Okay, let's do all the rest of the questions. If you haven't finished this lesson, you can take it home and do it. This is today's homework." Professor Victor said to the students in the class.

"Don't you do it?"

Shanna raised her eyebrows and asked, she didn't think Albert didn't understand.

Albert pointed to the form on his parchment, and he had already finished the calculations.

It's very simple, you can get the answer in two or three clicks.

"Why are you able to calculate it so quickly!"

Katrina felt unbelievable. She just noticed that Albert hardly calculated much, so she calculated the pile of numbers on Professor Victor's blackboard and filled them on the parchment.

"I have studied advanced mathematics." Albert said casually.

Compared with advanced mathematics, the current arithmetic and divination is indeed very simple.

It is undeniable that in this respect, Muggle wizards have far more advantages than wizards born in wizarding families. After all, they all went to school when they were young, and they have studied mathematics to some extent, and have been exposed to four operations.

Professor Victor walked over here, casually picked up the parchment on the table, and glanced at the numbers in the form.

All are correct.

Professor Victor looked at Albert in surprise. She had heard about Albert's deeds before, but it was only when she taught him herself that she really understood why other professors would evaluate him that way.

"Look, Mr. Anderson has finished the calculations, and they are all correct. Gryffindor will add 10 points." After Professor Victor finished speaking, he leaned over and said to Albert, "After class, you stay here for a while, I have something to do with you." you say"

Arithmetic divination is really difficult for many students. Except for Shanna, even Katrina, who was immersed in calculations, couldn't finish calculating the pile of numbers before get out of class was over.

Such a huge gap hit Katrina hard.

After Albert came out of the classroom, Katrina wanted to say something, but Shanna preempted her.

"What does Professor Victor want you to do?" Shanna asked curiously.

"Professor Victor asked me to go to the improvement class to attend lectures when I have time."

"Advanced class? I heard that the advanced class only recruits the brightest students. I heard from other seniors that it is called Advanced Arithmetic and Divination Research. The classroom is on the first floor of the castle." Shanna suddenly asked, "Can I go to the class with you?" ?”

"I don't care." Albert shrugged.

"How did you do it? I mean how did you learn it so quickly, is there any trick?" Katrina finally couldn't help asking.

"You think the difficulty may be related to you not having studied mathematics." Albert said truthfully, "Arithmetic divination is very similar to the probability calculation of Muggles. Simple."

Katrina gave Albert a fierce look, turned and left.She didn't want to talk to that guy, it was so annoying.
