Chapter 365: Simple arithmetic divination (1/2)
”I don't understand, I really don't understand, what are these all about!”
Lee Jordan, who just left the divination classroom, looked very anxious.
This divination class did not teach you anything useful. Most of the time, Professor Trelawney asked them to use the contents of the fifth and sixth pages of the book ”Peep out the fog to see the future” to interpret the shape of the tea dregs.
Later, Fred's cup actually made Professor Trelawney interpret the worst omen-the omen of death!
This makes Lee Jordan very uncomfortable, because Fred's cup is interpreted by him.
”Don't you guys take it seriously?” Albert could feel the depressed atmosphere around him, and suddenly said.
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 he came to this school.” Albert calmly told a fact, ”Foreseeing the signs of death is her favorite to welcome new students. The way.”
”Every year?” Fred couldn't help but asked.
”Yes, it's like this every year.” Albert patted Fred on the shoulder. ”As of now, none of them have died.”
”It seems you don't have to die.” George grinned and put his arms around his brother's shoulders.
”Yes, that's great.” Fred couldn't help but sighed. ”To be honest, I was also taken aback by Professor Trelawney's prediction.”
”But... prophecy...” Lee Jordan was still struggling with this matter.
”Of course the prediction 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 predictive ability in class. There is nothing more persuasive than that.”
”Then what is your prediction?” Lee Jordan still asked unwillingly.
”Of course it's a lie.” Albert noticed that a bunch of people were eavesdropping next to him, and said, ”Since Harry Potter came to Hogwarts, Principal Dumbledore has been mysterious in the castle again. The secret has created a restricted area, and I always feel that something bad may happen.”
”You guy, I thought...” Lee Jordan looked at Albert dumbfounded, knowing he had been deceived again.
”We've been together for two years, and you don't know Albert!” George looked at the expression on whether you were one of us or not.
”Albert still needs predictions?” Fred teased, ”What he doesn't need, if he really wants to predict, just talk about it and make sure it is more accurate than the prediction.”
The twins looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Yes, in the eyes of the Weasley brothers, Albert's mouth was more accurate than predicted.
As for Professor Trelawney's death prediction, 80% of the truth is her way of welcoming new students. If you only need to ask someone to ask about this kind of thing, you will know whether it is true or false.
As for whether Albert predicted, Fred and George are more inclined to this guy should be.
No way, his mouth has already said many things. Another point is that Albert doesn't like to let too many people know certain things, such as whether or not he will divination. Maybe Albert doesn't mind telling them these things in private, but asking them in public is deliberately picking things up.
Moreover, this guy likes to tell some truths, some lies, and some half-truths, making people completely confused that those are the truth and those are the lies.
Fred and George never asked people more secret things, even if they were asked, it was purely a joke.
If you want to know anything, just go back to the dormitory to ask privately at night.
That is why Lee Jordan's stiff head could not be turned around for a while.
Fred and George both cast gazes at Lee Jordan to shut him up, and then changed the subject.
”Next there will be a transformation class, and in the afternoon there will be a class of magical creatures and potions. The courses are full these days, which is really uncomfortable.”
”That's how your math fortune-telling fell off.” George frowned and asked when they passed through the empty corridor.
”No, let the clone go to class. Okay, don't ask me how I did it. This needs to be kept confidential.” Albert took out his pocket watch and checked the time, and said as he walked into the male bathroom next to him. ”wait a second.”
Albert pushed the door of the compartment lightly, and found that the door of the compartment was locked by someone. He buckled it three times. The door of the compartment also slammed three times. Albert turned and walked into the next compartment. , When the door was just closed, the originally locked door opened, and Albert with a tired face came out from inside.
As for the compartment where the door had just been locked, Albert was taking the time converter from his leather bag, carrying it around his neck, and then turning the time converter once.
Albert felt his time retreating fast, and something seemed to be banging in his ears. The next moment, he felt that his feet were stepping on solid ground, and everything came together again.
Putting away the time converter, taking out his pocket watch from his pocket and looking at the time, Albert quickly walked out of the boys' bathroom, ready to take math divination class.
”By the way, the place for arithmetic divination seems to be classroom 7A on the eighth floor.” Albert murmured to himself, ”Alas, it's a long way to go. It's really choking.”
The ”numerology” of arithmetic divination is a branch of arithmetic, which refers to the mysterious relationship between many events and simultaneous events.
Wake Field’s ”Numerical Divination and Graphics” Albert had read it during the summer vacation, and it was not very friendly to most wizards who had not really learned mathematics.
These gadgets reminded him of a book called ”Kabbalah Number Code”, which is the secret Jewish divination, the so-called ”numerical secretology”.
In Albert's view, the arithmetic field of the magical world is equivalent to a mixture of probability calculations and a bunch of strange things.
If that's the case, maybe it can explain why the spell solver needs to be proficient in this stuff.
This will allow them to evaluate the success rate of the curse without actually executing it, which means that they can minimize the risk of failing the curse.
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 two hapless guys who talked back to Filch, the red-haired Weasley’s Ron Wey. Slay, there's another... the famous Harry Potter.
”Red-haired Weasley, hum, don't think I don't know what you are making. Students are not allowed to go to the fourth floor restricted corridor.”
As soon as Albert got closer, he heard Filch's angry voice.
