Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

Alexis took a step back, avoiding Arthur's hug, which embarrassed Arthur a little.He pointed to Arthur's oily hands.

"Dear Arthur, maybe you should take it off and give me another hug."

Arthur looked down at his gloves, smiled awkwardly, threw the gloves aside, and greeted Alexis warmly.

"I hope you don't mind, Alexis. Please be casual."

"Want some coffee?"

Arthur excitedly walked to the shelf on the left, took out a cup, and started tinkering with it.

"This is the coffee machine I bought from Muggles. You just need to put the coffee beans in, and then power it on like this." Arthur was operating the coffee machine. "Then press it lightly and you will get a cup of fragrant coffee." The coffee is out!”

He handed Alexis a cup of coffee, took another cup for himself, took a sip, closed his eyes intoxicated, swallowed slowly, and then praised

"What a great invention!"

"Try it now!"

Alexis smiled and took a sip.

He could tell that Arthur was very proud of his room full of strange and strange things.Coffee machines, typewriters, printers, telephones, telegraph machines... almost all kinds of gadgets from the Muggle world can be found here.

"Arthur, I need your help with something."

After drinking a cup of coffee, Alexis took out the bill of goods and handed it to Arthur.

According to the man who intercepted him, the goods must be stamped on the manifest by the Department for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Articles before these items could be transported into the wizarding world.

Arthur took the manifest, read it carefully, opened the drawer quickly, signed the manifest with a quill, stamped it with the seal of the Ministry of Magic, and handed it back to Alexis.

"Alexis, I didn't expect you to be interested in these Muggle inventions. Maybe we can talk about it some time."

Arthur pointed to the centrifuge and other test equipment on the manifest and said with admiration.

"What are these for? Why have I never seen them before?"

When Alexis finished explaining the usage, Arthur looked amazed again.

"That's awesome! Muggles are so awesome!"

"In fact, there are many good inventions in the Muggle world, and their emergence has brought great convenience to Muggles."

Alexis remembered that Arthur seemed to be interested in Muggle things in the past, and now he briefly talked about what he had seen during his travels.

"That's awesome!" Arthur admired and couldn't help but clapped his hands. "Maybe I should write a report to make Fudge pay attention to this."

Alexis looked at Arthur looking for paper and pen with a smile.

He was not optimistic about Arthur's report. Perhaps the best place for it was in the wastebasket.

Judging from Arthur's current situation, it is obvious that people like him who like to study Muggle items are not favored by the higher-ups of the Ministry of Magic.

Otherwise, such a cramped, cold and damp utility room would not have been arranged for him as an office.

Arthur had already started writing a report, and Alexis wandered around the utility room, finally stopping in front of the telegraph machine.

"Arthur, can I use this?"

Alexis asked, pointing to the telegraph machine.

He planned to ask his friends in the Far East how Dumbledore's robes were doing.

"Please be casual, Alexis, we are friends!"

Arthur spoke without raising his head, writing quickly and filling two pages.

Alexis took off the telegraph machine and after some adjustments, the clicking sound of typing sounded from the corner.

The telegraph was inconvenient. It required waiting for the recipient at the other end to read it before sending a reply back. This was not a means of instant communication.

After waiting for a while, Huang Weijun's reply came.

According to Huang Weijun, the clothes have been made, and he has even paired them with a hat and a pair of shoes. They are already on the way. It is estimated that he will be able to see them when he returns to Hogwarts.

This made Alexis very happy, and he quickly wrote back to thank Huang Weijun.

The clicking sound of typing sounded briskly, conveying Alexis's thanks to the Far East.

After putting away the telegraph, he turned around and saw a big face looking at him in surprise.

"Hey! Arthur, why are you looking at me like that?"

Alexis took two steps back holding the telegraph machine and distanced herself from Arthur.

"You know how to use this?"

Arthur seemed like Columbus who discovered the New World, his eyes were shining, and his red hair seemed to have stood up.

"meeting."

"You know how to use it?"

"What about these?"

Alexis nodded as Arthur scanned the small items on the shelves.

"Oh my God! You really know how to use them!"

Arthur shouted loudly, swinging his arms up and down like a fat penguin.

"You actually know how to use it! Great! This is amazing! Oh my god!"

Arthur was speechless.

Alexis put the telegraph machine back into place and moved it against the shelf to the door.

"Arthur, calm down," Alexis shouted. "I do know how to use them. Any Muggle would use them. There's nothing surprising about that."

"If you want to learn, I can teach you."

"Really?" Arthur asked loudly as he chased Alexis excitedly.

"It's true." Alexis nodded, "But as you know, I'm at Hogwarts now and can't come to the Ministry of Magic often."

"We can use letters. Which one do you want to learn? You can take a photo of it and send it to me. I will write down the usage and precautions, if I can."

"This is simply awesome!"

Arthur jumped up, hugged Alexis, kissed him hard on the face, then let go of him, jumping up and down in place, like a happy child.

"Thank you so much! Alexis!"

After a while, Arthur's excitement calmed down a little. He took Alexis's hand and thanked her sincerely.

"It's okay, Arthur, we are friends, aren't we."

Alexis responded, picking up her hat.

"Okay, Arthur. It's getting late and I have to go back to Hogwarts."

"Why don't you go sit at home?"

Arthur asked a little disappointed.

"No, I just came back and I'm quite busy. I'll pay you a visit when you settle down."

"Goodbye, Arthur, my friend. I look forward to hearing from you."

Alexis put on her hat, waved at Arthur, and left the storage room.
