There was no trouble at the beginning of the school this year. No one got into trouble and no one made any trouble. Everyone spent the first night back at Hogwarts happily, and then from the next day onwards, they devoted themselves to the courses.

However, what excites students the most is Ellie's Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Because of this, when Ai Li walked into the classroom, almost all the students stared at her with shining eyes. However, Ai Li just walked slowly to the podium, looked at the students, and spoke after a moment.

"Today we're going to learn how to deal with a werewolf."

"Why……"

After hearing what Ellie said, the students couldn't help but sigh in disappointment. However, Ellie was clearly unmoved. She just glanced at everyone and then spoke again.

"After teaching the werewolf course, I will give you a spot test. If the pass rate is high enough, then I will consider teaching you how to deal with a Dementor next."

Hearing this, the students' originally lost and depressed expressions suddenly became excited. Although Ellie did not say it explicitly, considering that they all saw Ellie summon a huge dragon to deal with the Dementors that day, the meaning of this sentence was naturally very clear.

The students were so serious that they not only studied all the knowledge about werewolves taught by Ellie in class, but also went to the library to check and borrow books and records about werewolves. Even when walking in the corridor, the students mostly discussed stories about how to deal with werewolves.

Not only that, after that, Ai Li also taught them to play a game called "Werewolf" in class, which made the students even more excited.

Only Professor Lupin was somewhat embarrassed. Ellie could see that he looked nervous and uneasy every time he saw her, as if he was worried that she would discover his true identity - but Ellie could assure him that he didn't need to be so nervous because she already knew his true identity.

This situation continued until Gryffindor's second Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Ellie soon discovered that although most students were still studying and listening hard, many of them were absent-minded and seemed a little uneasy.

"So…what's going on today? Do you have anything more important to do than dealing with werewolves?"

Ellie put down her wand, stared at everyone and asked. When the students heard her question, they immediately turned to look at Harry Potter, while Hermione hesitated and raised her hand.

"Teacher Ai Li, we just had our first divination class and interpreted the tea leaves. The result is..."

"Oh, so it's Potter who will die this year, right?"

Hearing this, Ellie immediately understood what was going on, and everyone looked at her in surprise.

"I understand what you are thinking, but I can assure you that although Professor Sybill Trelawney is indeed quite capable in divination, you should know that for some reason, the predictions she makes when she is awake are basically meaningless. On the other hand, if she seems to be possessed by something and says some nonsense, and then doesn't know what she said after she comes to her senses... you should be careful."

"……?"

Everyone was stunned by Ellie's answer, and Ron also raised his hand.

"That... teacher? But, but at that time she successfully predicted that Neville would break his first cup..."

"Prophecies are sometimes little more than hints, and vague."

Ai Li narrowed her eyes, thought for a moment, and finally decided... It's actually quite fun to destroy other people's places.

"I am not afraid to tell you that many times the so-called prophecy is actually just a brief inference... Miss Granger."

"exist!"

When Hermione heard Ellie calling her name, she also stood up hurriedly.

"When you see an apple swaying from side to side on an apple tree, do you think that it will fall to the ground next?"

“…That’s right.”

"This is actually a kind of foreknowledge, because we have accumulated enough experience, we all know that the apple will fall to the ground, so even if it does not fall, when we see it, we will automatically make this judgment."

"But Neville did break his first teacup."

Ron interrupted again uneasily, and Ellie waved her hand.

"This is actually a very clever psychological suggestion. You see, everyone knows that Mr. Longbottom is sometimes careless and clumsy. If you tell him that he will break the cup he is about to pick up, then he will be nervous... Mr. Longbottom, were you particularly nervous at the time?"

“Ah, yes…”

Neville also nodded at this moment.

"She told me I was going to break the cup, and that scared me, and I didn't mean to, I really ..."

"This is normal. When you are forced to focus on one thing, you are prone to making mistakes. And when you hear the other person talking, you have actually been hinted. You see, for example, I ask you to cast a spell now, and then tell you that you will definitely fail, and then you really fail... This is not my prediction, it's just that you are under too much pressure."

Hearing this, the other students suddenly became interested, and Hermione raised her hand high again.

"So, Teacher Ai Li, what you mean is that... those fortune-tellings through tea leaves and teacups are completely nonsense?"

"Divination is not my specialty. Of course, I must tell you that there are indeed situations in the world where some signs can indicate the future, but such situations are very rare. At least I don't think it will appear in a place where a group of students sit and drink tea... In fact, many times, the ambiguity of divination is a kind of protection and inducement, for example..."

Ellie pointed at another student again.

"I'm telling you, you're going to be in trouble soon, do you believe me?"

"Eh? This..."

"Many times, you can tell a lot from a person's face and thus understand his psychology... For example, if a person is always frowning, then he will think the worst when he encounters something. For this kind of person, I can also give him a prediction, 'You will encounter some very bad things recently, be careful.' In fact, of course I don't know what the bad things are, but I know from his expression that he will consider many things to be the worst, so when he encounters a bad thing, he will only think that my prediction is correct... And I said recently, so when will it be recently? An hour later? A day later? A week later? A month later? Think about it carefully, can you really not encounter any bad things during this time?"

“…”

Hearing this, the students shook their heads.

"So you see, divination is often like this. If you take it too seriously, you will only be forced to hint and bring disaster upon yourself. Also, if there is no clear prophecy, then you can just treat it as meaningless nonsense."

Ellie waved her hand.

"Okay, now let's continue with the class."

After Ellie's explanation, Harry's expression relaxed a lot, and Hermione seemed to transfer her enthusiasm for divination to the psychological level. Of course, this was not a good thing for Professor Trelawney. She was almost furious with Ellie's explanation and even went to Dumbledore to protest - but for Ellie, her protest was not painful at all.

You, a third-rate gypsy witch, are teaching me, a prophecy wizard, how to do things?

In general, most of the time it was peaceful, Lupin was a very good teacher of Care of Magical Creatures, Malfoy didn't bother him, and Harry and the others naturally didn't get into any trouble because of this.

So you see, a lot of the time, Hagrid is the root of all evil, and he could almost avoid most of the trouble by just getting out of Hogwarts.

However, on Halloween Eve, Ellie still encountered a little trouble.

She was stopped by Harry, who handed her a piece of paper - certainly not a love letter.

"Ai, Miss Ellie, I want to go to Hogsmeade, but my aunt and uncle, they didn't sign my form..."

"Why don't you go find Snape?"

Looking at the permission form in her hand, Ellie looked at Harry with a smile, while the latter blushed slightly and lowered his head.

"Snape... Professor Snape wouldn't let me go. He said it would be safer for me to stay in Hogwarts."

Frankly speaking, it wasn't that safe. Of course, Sirius was actually here to kill Peter Pettigrew, but Harry was unlucky to be in the same college as Ron, so it gave others the illusion that Sirius was going after Harry Potter. But for Ellie...it didn't matter.

It's all the same anyway.

But why are you blushing when it comes to Snape? What happened this holiday?

Well... forget it. Ellie decided not to care about these things. After all, she is not the goddess of order.

"No problem. You've been pretty stressed out lately. It would be nice to go to Hogsmeade and relax."

As she spoke, Ai Li signed on it.

"I personally have no problem with you going out to play, but of course, I don't know whether this signature is valid."

"Thank you, Teacher Ai Li."

Harry was very happy to get Ellie's signature. He took the application form back, thanked Ellie, then turned and left.

Ellie shrugged and then looked away.

I wonder how Sirius will act this time?

He couldn't be still taking care of his delicate body.
