Professor A.Teacher: Professor, I'm planning my first end-of-year exam. Do you have any tips?
Professor Trelawney: Tips?
A.Teacher: Well, how do you examine your students?
Trelawney: I simply rely on the echoes of the future, to see what I must examine.
A.Teacher:.... right. And what do you.... see?
Trelawney: This year, I forsee that the examination will be based on crystal-ball gazing.
A.Teacher: OK. So what do you actually do?
Trelawney: I invite them up into my little dwelling, one by one, and invite them to do a reading for me.
A.Teacher: And by reading, you mean...
Trelawney: I ask them to gaze into the ball, and tell me what they see
A.Teacher: So you ask them to look into the future?
Trelawney: Yes, obviously. That is the fundamental purpose of my art.
A.Teacher: So... how do you know if they've got it right?
Trelawney:.... Excuse me?
A.Teacher: How do you know how to mark them if the events they are seeing haven't happened yet?
Trelawney: I myself and well acquainted with the future.
A.Teacher: But what if a student sees something that you have not seen? What if you have a student with more of a gift than you?
Trelawney:.....
A.Teacher: You haven't "forseen" how you would deal with that?
Trelawney: I hate you.
