【場(chǎng)景再現(xiàn)】
魔法學(xué)校第三年開的課程中有一門是占卜課(divination)。課下,小高材生赫敏曾經(jīng)對(duì)波特和羅恩說過,她覺得占卜是一門缺乏科學(xué)依據(jù)和理論分析的學(xué)問,是不可靠的。轉(zhuǎn)過天來,教授在占卜課上講授如何在水晶球里預(yù)見未來,赫敏終于受到打擊了——
P: Together we shall cast ourselves into the future. The truth lies buried like a sentence deep within a book, waiting to be read. But first, you must broaden your minds. First you must look beyond. Use your Inner Eye to see the future. Only then can you see. Try again.
H: Do you mind me trying?
P: My dear. From the first moment you stepped foot in my class I sensed that you did not possess the proper spirit for the noble art of Divination. No. You may be young in years, but your heart is as shriveled as an old maid's, your soul as dry as the pages of the books to which you so desperately cleave.
