Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

While the three Harrys were discussing how to sneak out, Dumbledore was also asking Slughorn about the situation in the principal's office.

After Alexis rescued Slughorn before, he received the news of Grindelwald's death and dumped him directly in London.

Later, Dumbledore had been worried about Alexis, and it was only now that he had time to learn about the situation through Slughorn.

In fact, after receiving Slughorn's letter, Dumbledore was keenly aware that something was unusual.

"Do you know who is hunting you?"

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes, poured Slughorn a cup of tea, and asked.

Slughorn thanked him and shook his head.

Dumbledore glanced at Slughorn without saying anything, and instead asked, "I heard that you have been traveling since you left Hogwarts more than ten years ago. Is it going well?"

Dumbledore knew Slughorn, and he had always suspected that Voldemort knew how to make Horcruxes and got them from Slughorn.And Slughorn is a smooth man. More than ten years ago, although Voldemort was killed by the blood protection spell on Harry, Slughorn, who knew Voldemort's secret early, was sure that he would be resurrected. Departing Hogwarts.

As for traveling around, in Dumbledore's opinion, it was more like hiding around to avoid being discovered by Voldemort.

After all, Slughorn was the only one who knew Voldemort's secrets at the time.

This is why there was no news about Slughorn until Alexis completely defeated Voldemort in the cemetery.

"It's not bad." Slughorn relaxed slightly. "After leaving Hogwarts, go look around. This kind of life is not bad."

"I heard Alexis was also traveling around shortly after that. It's a pity I didn't meet him."

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes at Slughorn and smiled, "I don't think so." He said, "If you meet Alex at that time, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing."

Alexis' dislike of Slughorn lasted almost throughout his school years and continued until his memory of Slughorn was completely removed.

Slughorn smiled and shook his head as he recalled Alexis's attitude towards him.

Indeed, Alexis, who was full of prejudices about himself, met himself during his travels, that daring guy, no one knew what he would do.

The two old men looked at each other and laughed.The atmosphere in the principal's office improved.

This harmless little joke quickly eliminated all the barriers, and the relationship between the two people also became much closer.

"During those few years, Alex ran around all day long. Fortunately, the Ministry of Magic decided to add a new experimental course, so I had the opportunity to call Alex back."

Dumbledore was talking nonchalantly, like an ordinary father complaining to an old friend about his son who was not doing his job properly.

No one knew what Slughorn was thinking, but it didn't show on his face at all, and he said sincerely

"Alexis is a good boy. He is very talented in potions and spells. He is simply the most talented genius I have ever seen!"

Dumbledore smiled and shook his head modestly, but it could be seen from his eyes that were almost narrowed that he was very satisfied with Slughorn's evaluation of Alexis.

The two of them talked about many interesting things about Alexis, and the scene gradually became more lively. Slughorn also continued to relax, no longer as nervous and vigilant as when he first entered Hogwarts.

……

Alexis, who had just finished class, was walking to the office when he saw three sneaky figures lying at the door of his office, poking their heads to discuss something.

"Harry!"

Alexis frowned and shouted. Harry, who was already feeling guilty, froze and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Ron was there to help him, which prevented him from falling.

"Hi! Mr. Alexis! What a coincidence!"

Seeing that Harry couldn't even speak, Malfoy hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of Harry. He raised a smile and faced Alexis to divert his attention, while quietly using his hands behind his back to point at Harry. Leigh and Ron gestured - retreat!

"This is at the door of my office." Alexis frowned and pointed at the door. "I don't think this is a coincidence."

He stared at Malfoy with a critical eye, scanning back and forth on the three of them like a searchlight, making the three poor little guys tremble with fear.

"Just in time, I have some things to do here, come in."

Not seeing what they were going to do, Alexis opened the door and said.

Harry and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief behind them, and then saw Alexis opening the door, her eyes shining brightly.They looked at each other and asked each other with their eyes: The door we studied for a long time just opened like this?

They couldn't believe that they actually entered Alexis' office so easily.

"Where's the quill?" Malfoy asked with his eyes.

Harry looked around and pointed at the table, "It should be in the drawer."

"I'll attract his attention, you look for opportunities, and Ron will cover." Malfoy quickly made a plan and assigned the tasks with his eyes.

At this moment, curiosity and exploration about the mysterious gathering temporarily suppressed Malfoy's admiration for Alexis.

"What are you doing standing at the door? Come in."

Alexis frowned and said as he looked at the three people standing at the door like wooden sculptures.

"Oh well!"

The three of them chatted and walked into the office.

"Mr. Alexis." Malfoy walked in the door and took action immediately. He came up to Alexis and asked, "When will our interest group continue?"

Alexis washed her hands for a moment, then continued as if nothing had happened, drying her palms carefully "Next semester."

Seeing Alexis about to walk back, Malfoy looked back at Harry and Ron. Harry was approaching the drawer.

"Why?" Malfoy was at a loss for words.

Alexis stopped and raised his eyebrows. Although Malfoy has some talent in this area and has completed the tasks assigned to him very well, he is definitely not a person who loves learning. This question is very strange. , as if Hermione drank Malfoy's Polyjuice Potion overnight!

"Because I am quite busy now, most of the content you need to learn is in the textbooks. Unless you have studied all the textbooks, the remaining content is not suitable for you."

Alexis walked while talking, Malfoy saw something was wrong and quickly winked at Ron.

"Ha! Ah! Mr. Alexis!"

Ron chattered a series of meaningless tones and ran quickly to Alexis.

"Is something wrong, Mr. Weasley?"

Being stared at by Alexis, Ron panicked and shook his head subconsciously, "No, sir."

Alexis nodded and walked around him.

It wasn't until Alexis passed him that Ron realized what he had done. He turned around and looked at Harry anxiously.
