Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

Unexpectedly, Rufus would come to visit Frank.

"Let's go. I come to see them often. I'm familiar with this place."

Alexis was still thinking wildly, but Rufus had already turned his head and walked upstairs.

"It's unlucky that you're here. They just fell asleep. Just take a look outside."

Arriving at the door of the ward, Rufus pointed inside and sighed again.

Alexis stood at the door and looked into the ward through the narrow window.

The ward was spacious and warm, but it was messy.The two strangers were wearing pajamas, lying haphazardly on the ground and sleeping soundly. The saliva even dripped from the corners of their mouths and fell onto the floor, forming a small water stain.

Is this the popular and handsome Auror?

Alexis couldn't connect the memory of her old friend with the drooling guy in front of her.

He looked uncertainly at Rufus, who silently pointed to the door, where two cards were inserted, which read:

Frank Longbottom & Alice Longbottom

There were even photos of them on the card. The handsome man and the gentle woman were standing on the lawn in front of a castle and running.

Alexis looked at the photo and then looked up at the ward.

Frank turned over inside, and the drool accumulated on the ground was all over him, and a water stain immediately appeared.

Frank seemed to feel uncomfortable in his sleep, clicking his lips dissatisfiedly, waving his limbs randomly, and finally pressed his thighs against his wife's chest.

"Let's go."

Rufus saw the sadness in Alexis' expression and pulled him out of the ward.

After leaving St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, Alexis let out a long breath, feeling that today was simply terrible.

Rufus patted Alexis on the back. He could see that the young man felt uncomfortable inside. As the chief officer of the Auror Command, he was quite experienced in this regard.

"Thank you, Rufus. I'm fine."

Alexis smiled at Rufus, and the two walked side by side on the streets of London, no different from ordinary office workers.

"Now that Peter Pettigrew has been captured, Black..."

Alexis hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.

Rufus didn't know much about the relationship between Alexis and Blake. He only vaguely remembered that they seemed to be very close to each other more than ten years ago.

"Sorry, Alexis, I am the chief officer of the Auror Command. I don't know much about this matter, but according to experience, there is a long and complicated process. It may take at least a year. Black will be released if the Wizengamot acquits Black."

a year?

Alexis was furious at the Ministry of Magic, which was as smelly and bloated as the Muggle world.At this time, he remembered the contents of a certain diary in the underground library of Nurmengard Castle.

The diary belongs to an unnamed fanatical follower of Grindelwald. To say it is the diary of this fanatic is more appropriate to say it is a note on Grindelwald's daily life. It contains a large number of records of Grindelwald's words and deeds.Among them, there are a lot of complaints about Grindelwald that the Ministry of Magic has learned from the Muggle world and made the institution that should be simple and efficient into a lengthy and complicated one.

Now that I think about it, Grindelwald seems to be right!

As they spoke, the two stopped at the entrance of the Magic Department. Alexis put on his hat and nodded slightly at Rufus.

"Rufus, goodbye."

"Dear Alexis, goodbye."

Rufus was like a lion that had caught its prey. He laughed loudly and gave Alexis a bear hug, slapping his back so hard that he reluctantly followed Alexis. Waving his hand, he turned around and walked into the Ministry of Magic building gracefully.

Alexis stood in front of the building, rubbing her chest and laughing softly.

As Berufus, Alexis began to buy some expensive flowers and plants, as well as various animals.

Some of the plants are for teaching, and the other part are for his own research, and all the animals are for Alexis' own use.

The person who knew the most about Alexis' progress in popularizing potions was actually Grindelwald, and the second person who knew the most about it was Dumbledore.

In fact, he has completed the overall structure of refining ordinary plant-based magic potions. Now all that is left is to add species to it and expand the scope of this structure until it covers all plants on the earth.

Alexis is currently preparing to start researching animals.

During those few days on Nurmengard, Alexis discussed with Grindelwald the differences between ordinary animals and magical animals in potion formulas. Unfortunately, Grindelwald himself was not a potion master. He couldn't give Alexis much help, so he could only slowly explore on his own in this regard.

By the time Alexis had purchased almost all the animals and plants she needed, it was already Thursday.

At this time, Alexis suddenly discovered a problem that made him laugh or cry.

Ministry of Magic, Department for the Misuse of Muggle Items.

Alexis was brought here with a confused look on his face.

When he was about to transport these items back to Hogwarts, he was told that these were Muggle items and that before they could be transported into the wizarding world, they had to be reviewed by the Department for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Items.

Then, Alexis was brought here with a confused look on his face.

Alexis was even more confused when she saw the cramped office that looked like a utility room, with the words "Department of Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Artifacts - Arthur Weasley" hanging on the door.

Isn't Arthur the Director of the Department for the Misuse of Muggle Articles?

This is where the director works?

The dignified secretary-general is equivalent to a minister of a country, and his office is in the utility room? ? ?

Alexis knocked on the door of the utility room with a confused look on her face. After a while, a familiar voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

Pushing the door open, the first thing that caught his eye were several piles of old worn books piled high on the desk. Shelves were placed around them, and various parts were scattered on the floor and table. Alexis stood there From the angle, I could only vaguely see a corner of the clothes moving in the pile of parts.

This is simply a recycling bin!

"Arthur?"

Alexis frowned and tentatively shouted at the corner of clothes.

"what?"

A head of red hair poked out from the pile of parts, and there was a brief shock on the familiar face, which then turned into surprise.

"Haha! Alexis! Why are you here!"

Wearing a pair of gloves stained with gasoline, Arthur laughed and walked carefully along the aisle that only allowed one person to pass, and came to Alexis carefully.
