I just realised
trelawney worked at hogwarts for like 17 years so she must at some point have had at least one sick day
so someone must have had to teach her classes and I really hope it was mcgonagall because can you imagine
‘this class is like 90% bullshit so I strongly recommend you just enjoy your tea because the tea leaves aren’t going to tell you anything. you can sit staring into glass balls and deciphering the meaning of your reflections if you want, but doing your transfiguration homework would be a better use of everyone’s time. I’m leaving now, if professor trelawney asks what you were taught, tell her I showed you an obscure form of palm reading and you can demonstrate by pointing at your hands and looking thoughtful - she’ll never know the difference’
