Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

He did not let Gabriel leave immediately. Unlike the previous three houses, he was a student from Hufflepuff, and he had a natural affection for Hufflepuff.

This wasn't too much, at least he didn't deduct points from Slytherin for any excuse, even though he hated Slytherin.

As for whether Hufflepuff students will get extra points because they can speak - we will discuss this later. If Hufflepuff is still lagging behind at the end of the semester, he may have to imitate some old bat.

Alexis and Gabriel had a pleasant chat, and as the conversation progressed, Gabriel gradually relaxed and was no longer as nervous as when he first met Alexis.

"Gabriel, tomorrow and in the next few days, I will purchase some teaching aids for class. You can find a few students to come over and help organize them."

Before leaving, Alexis said inadvertently.

After sending Gabriel off, Alexis took the lists of the four colleges and compared them carefully.

The list of Slytherins is not long. There are only more than forty people in the seven ages combined. What is even worse is Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. Their two houses combined only have more than forty people!

Fortunately, Hufflepuff is very powerful.

Alexis looked at Hufflepuff's long list, feeling a little relieved and a little worried.

Hufflepuff sent almost half of its students to support his courses.

It was as if his courses were useless and no one wanted them, and he had to rely on help from his "hometown".

Alexis searched the list carefully. There were only four names in the column for first-year Gryffindor students.

Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and a name that surprised him - Neville Longbottom.

Alexis' eyes stayed on Neville's name for a long time before slowly moving away.

There are many familiar names on the list, such as Cedric Diggory, Draco Malfoy and many more.But more of them are unfamiliar names.

Finally, Alexis compiled the list and got up to find Minerva McGonagall.

When Alexis walked into the office, Minerva McGonagall was grading homework in the office. It could be seen from her frown that the stern Transfiguration professor was not satisfied with the students' homework.

This made Alexis shrink back subconsciously.

"The prefects have compiled the list."

Alexis decided to make a quick decision and spoke quickly.

"I plan to purchase a batch of equipment and herbs for teaching. I can pay for this part myself."

"Okay, Mr. Alexis," Minerva took the list and said while looking at it, "I will discuss with Dumbledore and arrange a new class schedule as soon as possible."

Alexis nodded, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

After saying that, without waiting for Minerva to respond, she quickly left the office as if running away.

After leaving the office, Alexis didn't stop much. He hurriedly wrote down the list and quantity of the equipment, handed it to Horn, and left Hogwarts overnight.

Dumbledore is coming back. If he doesn't leave, once he meets Dumbledore and asks for a gift...

As for Peter Pettigrew, Alexis could guess without even asking that he would spend the rest of his life in Azkaban.

On the contrary, it was Sirius Black. Now that Peter Pettigrew was caught and his charge of leaking secrets was cleared, he might be released.

But this is not something that can be done within a day or two.

After leaving Hogwarts, Alexis went straight to London, where he was going to visit the Longbottoms at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies.

Frank Longbottom and Alice Longbottom were both former members of the Order of the Phoenix and friends of Alexis.

They fought against Voldemort together. Later, after Voldemort fell, the Longbottoms were captured by the Death Eaters. In order to prevent them from revealing Voldemort's whereabouts, Bellatrix cruelly used the Cruciatus Curse to torture them until they went crazy.

They were found and taken to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Magical Injuries, where they have remained ever since.

The journey from Hogwarts to London was not long and it was already morning when Alexis stood in front of a department store.

St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries is disguised as a department store. In fact, it is the largest wizarding hospital in London and even the entire UK. It is also a place frequented by Aurors.

Walking into the hall, I found out the location of the Longbottoms. Just as I was about to go upstairs, I met a familiar figure walking down.

The visitor had dark brown hair and thick eyebrows mixed with strands of gray. Behind his gold-rimmed glasses was a pair of sharp eyes, like an old lion.

He walks with a long stride, giving people a strong and resolute look.

"Minister Rufus?"

Alexis called out the man's name.

This is the current head of Auror Command, Rufus Scrimgeour, the man mentioned time and again by the conductor of the Hogwarts Express.

This is an upright guy, although he doesn't seem to get along well with Dumbledore.

Rufus stood on the stairs, frowning and staring at Alexis, as if trying to remember who the person in front of him was.

"Alexis?"

Rufus ventured uncertainly.

"Yes, it's me!" Alexis nodded with a smile.

"Haha! Alexis! When did you come back?"

Rufus laughed, stepped forward and gave Alexis a firm hug, finally slapping him hard on the back.

"Dumbledore called me back. I am now the Potions teacher at Hogwarts."

Rufus frowned slightly at the mention of Dumbledore, but soon relaxed again.

"Yesterday, I also received a report letter saying that our Aurors were violently enforcing the law. Is it you?"

Alexis smiled dryly and said nothing, secretly cursing in his heart. Unexpectedly, the train conductor really "kept what he said"!

Alexis didn't admit it, and Rufus didn't care. He knew Alexis and his behavior. He might be a little impulsive, but he wouldn't do anything without reason.

For example, this time, someone reported that he was abusing magic spells - although Rufus had not guessed that it was Alexis at that time, Dumbledore came to the door with Peter Pettigrew.

See, that's why!

"You are hurt?"

After the greetings were completed, Rufus looked Alexis up and down and asked doubtfully.

As far as he knew, Alexis's dueling skills were very good. He was good at guerrilla warfare and achieved maximum results with minimum expenditure. Even when facing many old Aurors who had been famous for a long time, he would not give in too much.Now when dealing with a Peter Pettigrew, he shouldn't be injured.

"No, I came to visit old friends." Alexis shook his head and said, "I heard that Frank is here, so I came to see them."

Rufus put away the smile on his face, sighed, and said softly

"I just came out of Frank's and they just went to bed."

This surprised Alexis.

He, Frank, and even Lupine, James, and Black, in fact, they were not under the jurisdiction of the Auror Command at all. The reason why they were issued Auror certificates was only as a temporary measure to fight against Voldemort.

They are equivalent to the temporary establishment of Aurors. When Voldemort was eliminated by the "Magical Savior", their establishment also disappeared.
