Blaise was also very fond of Kulkan.
So on the way to the Great Hall, Blaise kept asking why Kulkan was angry. Sean naturally couldn't tell Blaise the truth, at least not yet, so he made the excuse that Kulkan had been dissatisfied with her diet lately. The topic ended with Blaise promising to bring Kulkan some fresh meat and eggs.
The Great Hall had been decorated in Christmas style.
White and red decorations hung everywhere, with a huge Christmas tree in the center of the Great Hall and smaller Christmas trees scattered around the periphery, all adorned with many candies and ornaments. At the same time, scattered pixies flew about the Great Hall, continuously sprinkling glowing snowflakes that fell to the ground, forming a thin layer of snow. Whenever someone stepped on it, they would stir up a swirl of rotating snowflakes. Very beautiful.
The four of them sat at the Slytherin table, quietly waiting for the feast to begin.
After sitting for a while, Blaise and Andy got up to socialize. Before long, Blaise suddenly rushed back and said mysteriously to Sean and Jansen: "Do you know? Someone actually gave the Savior a gift for Christmas!"
Hearing this, Sean was stunned: "Someone giving Harry a gift, isn't that quite normal?"
"Of course it's not about the gift itself, but the problem with the gift! Someone sent the Savior a Firebolt! That's a Firebolt! The Firebolt that's only used in professional Quidditch matches, the Firebolt that every Quidditch star desperately desires! I wanted one last Christmas, but my mother wouldn't buy it for me, and the Savior gets one for free!"
Well.
The main reason Blaise was so indignant was obviously because of his last statement.
Looking helplessly at Blaise, this guy, whenever it came to Quidditch-related matters, often had no rationality and was very emotional.
People gradually arrived, and the banquet officially began.
The Christmas feast's dishes were much better than usual, so everyone ate with great enthusiasm.
However, they hadn't been eating long when Trelawney arrived at the Great Hall.
Speaking of Trelawney, just how annoying was she? You could tell just from the fact that Dumbledore hadn't even prepared a chair for her. If that wasn't enough, you could also see from Professor McGonagall, usually steady and serious, engaging in witty verbal sparring with Professor Trelawney. This Divination professor was universally disliked, not just by Hogwarts students, but by Hogwarts professors as well.
Of course, Dumbledore still gave Trelawney face and immediately had a chair prepared for her.
But when Trelawney was about to sit down, she suddenly screamed. The scream was so loud that even Sean and the others could hear it clearly from their side.
"I dare not sit down! Headmaster, if I sit at the table, that makes thirteen people! The most unlucky number, thirteen! If I sit down, the first person to stand will be the first to die!"
"Just sit down already; the turkey's gone cold as stone."
Who would have thought such a perfectly timed retort would come from Professor McGonagall?
Trelawney looked at the table, hesitated for a moment, but still sat down.
Seeing Trelawney sit down, Sean was about to turn and say something to Blaise when his eyes suddenly filled with a layer of white mist. Scenes like slides appeared before Sean.
Snape standing in front of Malfoy, raising his wand and pointing it at Dumbledore.
Blinding green light erupted from Snape's wand, like the hand of death itself, grasping Dumbledore's heart.
The dead Dumbledore fell from the Astronomy Tower, crashing into the dust.
Seeing these images, Sean unconsciously gasped, and his abnormality was noticed by Blaise and the other two sitting beside him. Not only did Blaise notice his abnormality, but also Dumbledore and the other professors over there.
At first, they were very worried seeing Sean's condition. After all, such an excellent student was currently unique at Hogwarts. Later, seeing Sean return to normal, they felt somewhat relieved.
At this moment, Dumbledore was looking at Sean's back, lost in thought.
If Sean were truly just a native of this world, seeing the prophetic vision just now would likely make him very nervous or worried. After all, in that vision, Snape had indeed killed Dumbledore, and reality was much the same.
However, Sean had memories of this world, so he knew very clearly what the facts were. Now seeing these scenes, he felt no worry at all, only the thought of completely changing them. Not to save Dumbledore, but simply because he didn't want his Head of House to kill this old man who was emotionally very complex for him.
He didn't even want his Head of House to join Voldemort's ranks again.
Regarding entering the state of Spiritual Vision again just now, Sean felt there should be some kind of connection and resonance between Spiritual Vision and Trelawney's prophecy, causing Trelawney's prophecy to trigger Sean's nearly awakened Spiritual Vision, allowing Sean to see some images related to Trelawney's prophecy again.
It was the prophecy that the first person to stand among the thirteen would be the first to die.
Earlier, Dumbledore had risen to greet Trelawney, becoming the first to die among the thirteen.
At that time, Trelawney indeed hadn't sat down because she was the fourteenth person. There were some students at their table, including Harry and Ron, and in Ron's pocket was Peter Pettigrew. He was the thirteenth person. So Trelawney thought she was the thirteenth person, but actually she was the fourteenth and unrelated to the prophecy.
And Dumbledore, as one of the thirteen, being the first to rise to greet Trelawney, foretold his being the first to die.
Of course, this was all an unconscious prophecy delivered by Trelawney. Even she herself didn't really believe this prophecy could succeed.
The Christmas feast ended, but due to the special occasion today, many people stayed behind to continue enjoying desserts, chatting, and enjoying the holiday's beauty. Others returned to their house common rooms to chat with friends before resting.
Ron and Harry also rose to leave, during which Trelawney kept asking them who had stood up first, resulting in another round of cold mockery from Professor McGonagall.
Seeing all this, Sean also rose, using the excuse of needing the bathroom, and left the Great Hall. Taking advantage of no one being around, he cast a Disillusionment Charm and followed Harry and Ron.
