In the Hogwarts Tower.
Sybil Trelawney, the Professor of Augury, sat in front of her observatory, clutching a gemstone that glittered with silver light in her hand.
In her line of sight, the stars in the night sky shone brightly, rising and falling one after another, interweaving into a dazzling sea of stars.
This was her true way of existing.
The world was a wondrous place. It was tolerant enough to allow many life forms to live peacefully here.
Even if they represented the past, things that had already been overthrown.
As long as the old found a reasonable way to exist, then the new world would accept them.
The Trelawney family was such an existence. Their bloodline was passed down from that great priestess, and every generation of women had this ability. Sybil's mother was the greatest prophet of the last century.
After she was born, everyone believed that she would become a great prophet like her mother, but her ability was too strong.
Sometimes, being strong was not a good thing.
This world was strange. Too strong was easy to break, too soft was easy to break. The best way to survive was to live in the middle. As prophets, they knew this very well.
And Sybil Trelawney was an existence that made them both surprised and worried.
Obviously, this newly born successor had perfectly inherited the fine traditions of the family. He possessed great power that surpassed her mother and even her grandmother. In terms of the bloodline of the family, he also had an extraordinary degree of awakening. However, as a bloodline that was cursed by the gods, the more power he awakened, the more he would have to bear the cost of the curse.
Sybil had experienced this since she was young.
Her power made her bear more disbelief. Seriously speaking, her mother and grandmother's prophetic abilities were not very strong. Of the few times they made a few predictions, there were bound to be one or two that were not accurate.
This ability to make mistakes was actually a good thing for her family, because this way, their words and actions would be believed.
The more accurate a prediction was, the more likely it was not to be believed. This was relative.
Therefore, this also led to her current situation.
Dumbledore was actually an accident in Sybil's long life of being doubted.
Perhaps because the legendary Wizard was less affected, Dumbledore stood his ground and recruited her into the Hogwarts, and gave her a place to settle down.
This small tower was not very spacious, but it was very cozy, and most importantly, very reassuring.
Sybil had put almost all of her wealth here. When she was the only one left in the Trelawney family, she even considered ending the family bloodline.
This was not completely impossible. In fact, the way the Trelawneys died was very strange.
They were skilled at prophecy.
When this kind of skill reached a certain level, it would become stronger and stronger as one grew older.
Every Trelawney bloodline inheritor was no exception. As a family that was mainly female, their existences were very mysterious.
And because of their bloodline, everyone in this family had a different form of existence.
Their form of existence was the way they interacted with the world, the way they made prophecies and foretold the future.
With the enhancement of bloodline, it was actually not very difficult to make a prophecy. For instance, Sybil Trelawney could also make a prophecy through some simple things. These simple things were common. Only when they made a very important judgment did they have to use their foundation to settle down and settle down.
Lady Sybil Trelawney was most skilled at astrology.
Just like before, Lady Trelawney was very skilled at prophecy. She had a powerful perception of the future since young, and also had the highest level of communication with the world.
Her form of existence was starlight.
Under the night sky, the starlight cast down by the river of stars would automatically form a virtual starry sky around her under the influence of the astrology hidden in her bloodline.
A part of her soul existed together with this starlight. This starlight was the way she connected with the world. Through this subtle connection, she could see a person's future, or make a prophecy about a certain matter.
This relatively high level connection method's results were naturally very accurate, but just like how her ancestor directly communicated with the gods, the results he obtained were not believed. No one believed the prophecies he made, even if the prophecies would come true every single time.
This was an extremely strange situation.
Because everything she said would come true, no one thought about how to prevent her prophecies from coming true, but instead wanted her to stop talking.
This was a bit laughable, but not that funny.
Sometimes, the happiness of humans was often built on the pain of others. This was not good, but it was hard to change, because this was how the world existed, it was something like a rule.
After so many years, no one could stop Trelawney from talking. Whenever she made a prophecy, she was often in an unconscious state. This was because communicating with the world was a very high level of communication, and it wasn't advisable to purely use the human body to feel, so she had to pay attention to certain methods.
But this situation was uncontrollable, unless someone helped her enter this state, otherwise, she could only suddenly enter this state without knowing.
Over time, she also discovered some inertia. She had unconsciously entered this state many times, sometimes leaving traces behind. After experiencing it a few times, she gradually found the pattern of these traces, and after several attempts, she came up with a way to backtrack.
Thus, every time she ended the state, she would know what she made during the prophecy.
It was the same today.
When it was close to midnight, she suddenly entered the state and woke up after midnight.
Now, she was searching for the traces left behind to see what she made during the prophecy.
This method relied on astrology.
After seeing the result of her prophecy, Trelawney's hand couldn't help but tremble.
It was actually about Dumbledore.
She subconsciously wanted to gloss over this result because this result indicated that Dumbledore was dead. But after thinking about it, she gave up on this idea.
