Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

"Yes, that's right." Alexis nodded. "This method of classifying botany is very complete and efficient. I think it is a mature system that has been tested."

Hermione looked confused "Mr. Alexis, does it also work with potions ingredients?"

"can."

"Sir, I read the following content. It seems that you have completely integrated the entire potion science into your system. If this is feasible, why do we have to take two courses?"

Alexis was stunned for a moment, then she smiled slightly and said, "Miss Granger, I think you should ask Principal Dumbledore or Professor Snape this question."

Hermione still doesn't know the relationship between Alexis and Dumbledore, let alone the many twists and turns of "love and hate" between him and Snape. In fact, most students don't know, only a few Some upperclassmen have heard a thing or two about it.

Therefore, Hermione did not understand the ridicule in Alexis's statement.

But she is a good and realistic girl, and she has a persistence in asking questions that she does not understand.

"You don't know either?"

Hermione was a little disappointed.

"Okay, Miss Granger, this is a matter outside of class. Perhaps we can discuss it privately. If you wish, my office door is always open for you."

"Other students, do you have any questions?"

Almost as soon as Alexis finished speaking, an arm was raised high again.

"Draco Malfoy." Alexis was a little surprised. "What questions do you have?"

The great Master Malfoy stood up proudly, combing his platinum-blonde hair back, revealing his bald forehead.

"Mr. Alexis, if plants can do it, can magical animals also have such a division method?"

Alexis' eyes lit up, she didn't expect Master Malfoy to ask such a quality question.Isn't this the topic he has been working on recently?

"Of course." Alexis nodded with satisfaction, "But I'm still verifying the classification of animals. This is a task that requires patience."

Malfoy nodded and continued to ask, "Sir, have you verified the unicorn?"

As soon as the unicorn appeared, there was a slight commotion below for the first time since class started.

"Does unicorn also fit into your classification? How should it be classified? Have you figured it out?"

Master Malfoy asked with a teasing smile.

There began to be more commotion in the classroom, and some students couldn't help laughing. Harry and Ron turned their heads and glared at Malfoy. As for the good girl Hermione, she looked confused and didn't understand what was going on. what's so funny.

In her opinion, isn’t this a good question worth exploring in depth?

Maybe they can capture the unicorn and study it carefully - if there is no result in the end.

She even had some thoughts about adopting Malfoy because of this problem.

It turns out that Malfoy is not just a bully, he is also very good at learning!

Alexis's eyes darkened slightly, then he smiled softly and said

"Draco Malfoy, how do you think unicorns should be classified?"

He walked down the podium step by step and came to Malfoy's side. His eyes were always full of smiles, but as he approached step by step, Malfoy couldn't help but tremble.

Malfoy forced himself to calm down.

It's all right!

Father has already explained that he is just an ordinary wizard!That time in Diagon Alley, my father just didn't want to break the gentleman's etiquette and attacked him in public!

Malfoy cheered himself up silently in his mind.

"I……"

"Wrong answer." Malfoy just started, but Alexis immediately interrupted, "Slytherin will deduct one point."

"Tsk~tsk~" Alexis tsked, showing a look of regret, and glanced at the student who had just laughed out loud.

"I think this gentleman should know the answer. Come on, tell Malfoy how to classify unicorns."

The person who was called was Malfoy's follower. After being called, he stood up and hesitated for a long time, his face turned red from holding back.

"I do not know."

he whispered.

"What a pity, Slytherin has been deducted another point."

Alexis made a sound of regret without sincerity and continued to point at the Slytherin students.

Soon, the Slytherin students were called on again, but no one answered.

There were a total of seventeen Slytherins who came to class. With just one question, in less than 10 minutes, Alexis frantically deducted seventeen points from the Slytherins!

After the last Slytherin was announced to be deducted points, the atmosphere in the entire classroom became solemn, and Malfoy, who had caused the trouble, was about to cry.

He couldn't imagine what he would face if his prefects or even Professor Snape found out about this.

Alexis shook her head and sighed falsely, returning to the podium.

"So, can anyone try to classify unicorns according to the method I just mentioned?"

This is actually a super-category question. Even Alexis has not yet finished sorting out the classification of zoology after including magical animals.

But this question is not difficult. As long as you have a little common sense and follow the botanical classification he just talked about, you can still get a rough idea.

Well, it requires a bit of common sense in the Muggle world.

There are no categories in the wizarding world!

"Miss Granger, maybe you could try."

Alexis glanced at Harry, who was so frightened that he quickly shrank his neck and thought silently: Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me...

Hermione stood up and hesitated for a moment.whispered

"Sir, I don't know."

"It doesn't matter, let's start with the door. Usually animals are divided into vertebrates and invertebrates. Think about it, which one does the horse belong to?"

"Vertebrates?" Hermione asked tentatively.

"Yes." Alexis encouraged, "It belongs to the phylum Chordata, so is it a mammal or an oviparous animal?"

"mammal."

"Yes, so, it is Mammalia. Now let's divide the order. Animals are slightly different from plants. They are divided into Perissodactyla and Artiodactyla according to the number of toes."

"It's Perissodactyl!" Ron on the side shouted excitedly, "I've seen pictures of unicorns. It's like a horse, with only one toe!"

Hermione rolled her eyes at her friend with dissatisfaction and replied seriously, "Pissima, sir."

"Now let's divide the subjects. What Ron said just now is right, the unicorn is like a horse to a certain extent, so it should be divided into -"

"Marco?"

Hermione and several classmates around her followed suit.

"so smart."

Alexis complimented and continued to guide.

"Then there is the genus. According to what I said before, some family levels and genus levels will share the same name, but unicorns and horses are not exactly the same. Maybe we can list a separate genus for it, so, unicorn belong--"

"Unicornus!"

More students began to answer naturally.

"so smart!"

"So, the classification of unicorns should be-"

"Chordata, Mammalia, Perissodactyla, Equus, Unicorn, unicorn!"

"How smart!" Alexis praised, "Except Slytherin, five points for each of the other three houses!"
