Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

Alexis finally caught up with little Harry who was about to transfer trains at the station, and he was accompanied by an ugly little girl.

For 11-year-old boys, girls of the same age have begun to be attracted to them. This kind of attraction may not necessarily be a liking, but may just be a simple instinctive impulse to get close to the opposite sex.

But no matter what, it is not a good experience to sneak out to play with a little girl while her parents are not at home and be caught by her parents.

At this time, little Harry was facing such embarrassment.

At a busy bus stop, little Harry was holding hands with his new friend, preparing to explore their little secrets, when Alexis suddenly appeared and stopped in front of him.

Alexis stared at little Harry's lake-green eyes, watching little Harry explain in panic.

"Mr. Alexis, you—I, I—this is—"

Alexis' eyes shifted to the ugly little girl beside her.

"Hello Mr. Alexis, I'm Hermione, Hermione Jane Granger."

The little girl was short and had hair as fluffy as seaweed. She stood in front of Harry generously and greeted Alexis.

"Hello, Miss Granger, I'm Alexis, er, Harry's uncle."

Alexis responded with a smile.

Seeing that Alexis was not angry, Harry was relieved and became excited again.

"Mr. Alexis, you'd never guess it. Hermione, too, is just like me. I mean, she got that letter too!"

Alexis echoed, watching the excited Harry and Hermione showing off their tickets and wands, and stopped Hermione in time when she wanted to show off her self-taught magic.

"Hermione, and Harry, listen to me." Alexis said solemnly, "Your wands have traces from the Ministry of Magic. Students at Hogwarts, especially freshmen, are strictly prohibited from using magic privately." of."

After a pause, Alexis pointed to the bustling crowd around him, "Especially in front of so many ordinary people."

Hermione was a little confused "Mr. Alexis, why is this?"

Feeling a little headache about this female top student Alexis, he looked around and led the two children into a fast food restaurant.

"We can chat while eating. I think not only you, but Harry also has many doubts about the wizarding world, right?"

The two nodded in unison.

In the face of satisfying their curiosity, the crispy fried chicken burgers in the fast food restaurant became boring. The two children hastily ordered two glasses of juice, and Alexis ordered a cup of black tea for herself. The three of them chose a corner to sit down.

As soon as she sat down, Hermione couldn't wait to ask, "Mr. Alexis."

"Because of international confidentiality laws." Alexis explained while drinking black tea.

"In 1689, the International Law of Secrecy for Wizards was passed, and wizards completely went into hiding. Only legends about wizards were left to the outside world. Wizards chose several low-key and secret places to live, almost isolated from the world.

Muggles, that is, non-wizards, or die-hards who do not believe in the existence of wizards, the wizarding world is gradually unknown to Muggles.

Now, the Ministry of Magic has a complete supervision system, and only the top leaders are occasionally aware of the existence of wizards. "

Although Alexis said a lot, to Hermione, it seemed like she didn't say anything, and Harry looked even more confused.

Alexis shook his head and refused to dwell on this issue any further.

In fact, starting from the 15th century, the relationship between Muggles and wizards became worse year by year. By the 17th century, the relationship between the two dropped to a freezing point.

During that period, Muggles persecuted wizards vigorously, burning, hanging, and massacring...

The increasingly severe situation has forced wizards to pass the international secrecy law, turning from light to darkness to hide themselves.

This kind of thing is not suitable to be mentioned to children - even though this was what Grindelwald told him when he was eight years old.

"Mr. Alexis, this ticket -" Hermione seemed to guess that Alexis hadn't finished what he said, so she didn't bother and took out the ticket. "Platform nine and three-quarters of King's Cross Station is on Where? I wish I had never heard of it."

"Platform nine and three-quarters is between the ninth and tenth platforms. There is a pillar there. Through the pillar, you can enter platform nine and three-quarters.

Every year at the beginning of the new semester, the platform will be open for half a day. On this day, new students can take the Hogwarts Express through the platform to enter the school.This ticket is the ticket for the Hogwarts Express.

The platform is usually closed. "

Hermione nodded and put away the ticket.

"Harry said you were a teacher at Hogwarts?"

Alexis glared at Harry and said with a smile.

"Yes, I am the teacher hired this year to teach the new Potions class. Your Potions class will be taught by me and Snape."

"Snape?"

"Yes, that's right, Snape, Severus Snape, he's a hard guy to like, but he's not a bad guy. Harry."

"But I remember that the list only seems to contain Potions textbooks. Is it really okay for two teachers to teach together?"

Hermione asked worriedly.

"Potions class and new potions class are two different concepts."

When it comes to potions, Alexis seems a little disdainful. His pioneering potion-making methods not only expanded the subject scope of herbalism from the magical world to the entire natural world, but also injected new blood into potions.He has every right to express contempt for the ancient science of potions.

"Traditional potion refining not only has rare materials, but also has a rigorous refining process that is very unfriendly to novices. The new potion science will completely change this."

Hermione was always suspicious of Alexis' boasting, so she just listened quietly to Alexis' talk without interrupting.

Alexis introduced a lot of things, and at the end he was so thirsty that he drank half a cup of black tea in one go, still feeling a little unfinished.

But he saw that the two children didn't seem to be very interested in these, so he simply stopped talking.

In fact, what is truly valuable about his breakthrough in potion science is that he can use common or even common herbs to refine rare potions.This will significantly save many rare and endangered materials.

In addition, his potion refining method is different from traditional potion science, but more like cooking.

After introducing the common sense of the wizarding world, the sun has set outside.

Hermione looked at the time and said goodbye.

"Harry, see you tomorrow."

Hermione waved and took the last train to leave.

"Harry."

Just as Alexis was about to say something, Horn landed on his shoulder.

Alexis took off the letter from Horn's lap, and after checking it, he rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

The letter was unsigned, and judging from the tone, it should be from Dumbledore.The letter asked him to return to Hogwarts to prepare for the first-year party.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the dragon egg he gave to Hagrid was discovered by Dumbledore! ! !
