The Wolf is Coming Ch. 42
Next, for several days, Emma looked a little listless and completely out of spirits.
And on this day, when she was walking slowly down the stairwell counting the steps with a pile of books in her arms, she met Sybill Trelawney, the professor of Divination.
Trelawney was still in a messy state. A pair of black-framed glasses covered most of her face, and her blonde hair must have been forgotten to be combed, so it looked like a bunch of messy dry grass. She squatted on one of the steps of the stairs, pulling a piece of her skirt to carefully wipe a dirty glass ball, ignoring the eyes of all passers-by, as if she was completely immersed in her own world.
Emma paused for a moment, and then wanted to walk around Trelawney, but she suddenly raised her head.
"Good afternoon, Professor Trelawney." Emma greeted dryly.
Trelawney did not respond, she just looked up at Emma, her eyes behind the glasses wide open. She glanced at the glass ball in her hand, and suddenly came over, almost sticking the lens to Emma's face, and muttered—
"One soul was replaced by another,
struggle, panic and confusion;
people from the hometown met in a foreign land,
wolf's footsteps followed like a shadow;
the train tickets will be changed eventually
destiny is heading for an unknown distance."
Emma was stunned for a moment, and then immediately asked, "What does people from the hometown mean? What does wolf's footsteps mean?"
But Trelawney didn't speak. After a while, she looked at Emma with a confused face as if she had just woken up, "Oh, sorry, I seem to have fallen asleep again. But... what were you talking about just now? What wolf's footsteps?"

Ron found that Hermione, who had been listless for several days, was suddenly full of energy again as if she had drunk a Pepperup Potion. She even devoted a lot of energy to the divination class and began to study those illusory things.
"Oh, Merlin! You actually started to study divination?" Seeing Emma, who did not forget to flip through the divination books even during breakfast time, Ron looked like he had seen a prehistoric giant. "Don't you hate divination class the most?"
"Oh, that was in the past." Emma forked a small piece of sandwich in one hand and turned the book over with the other hand. "Now I find divination is also useful."
"It's over, Hogwarts will have another lunatic..." Ron muttered softly and concentrated on eating his breakfast again.
At this time, a big black eagle flew into the hall among a group of owls delivering letters. After circling at low altitude for a while, it landed steadily in front of Emma and threw a shiny hairpin on the open page of the book.
"Little bastard! Why you again?" Emma stared at it with wide eyes.
The black eagle raised its head proudly and stretched forward the leg with the letter tied to it.
Emma looked at it suspiciously for a while, then reached out and untied the letter. To her great surprise, it was actually a letter from the werewolf Abraham.
[Dear Miss Witch:
Are you okay?
I hope you have received this letter— Yes, this is the first time I asked Trickster to deliver a letter. I am really worried that it will not be able to find the location of Hogwarts. Trickster is the name of this black eagle because it is so naughty. I believe you should know it because it once snatched your hairpin in Diagon Alley.
However, although Trickster occasionally plays a prank, it is actually a smart black eagle, so I bought it from Eeylops Owl Emporium. This is the first time I tried to let it deliver a letter. Because I don't know what to send, I asked it to return the hairpin to you. I don't know if it has successfully delivered it.
If it has been received successfully, please write back to tell me, I need to know whether Trickster is as good as I thought.
Abraham Cromwell,
