Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

When Alexis left the Pig's Head Bar, several people were already drunk. The four Alexis supported each other and staggered out of the Pig's Head Bar.

Standing at the entrance of Hogsmeade, the four of them stopped in unison.

"That - there" Alexis pointed to the hillside in the distance, breathing the smell of alcohol, "Lu - Lupin."

He turned to face Lupin, squinting at him.

"Remember-don't you remember?"

Lupine and Hagrid were a little more awake. His eyes looked very bright in the night. He nodded slightly and looked at the mottled black shadows on the hillside, feeling a little sad.

"R-right there. We're just-right there."

Alexis' voice gradually became very soft.

"James - Black - me - and you."

"call--"

Alexis muttered, leaning her head on Hagrid and snoring.

Lupine and Hagrid looked at each other and smiled bitterly. One of them carried Alexis on his back, while the other carried Flitwick, and staggered towards Hogwarts.

In the distance, in front of the mottled black shadows on the hillside, a rugged black dog stood there, watching intently as the four people disappeared around the corner, lowered their heads, and silently walked back to the Shrieking Shack.

…………

Lupine's arrival injects fresh vitality into Alexis' life.

In addition to attending classes and studying animals, Alexis would find time to spend time with Lupine almost every day, especially during meal time. He would sit next to Lupine and pull Lupine to demonstrate to Snape in the distance.

Snape was speechless at Alexis's childish behavior. Later, he simply refused to come to dine with other professors, which Alexis regarded as a staged victory in his fight against Snape.

In the middle of the month, Alexis had planned to spend a full moon with Lupin, running to the Shrieking Shack like they did when they were in school.

But obviously Dumbledore was prepared.

He found Lupine three days in advance and gave him a bottle of Wolfsbane potion.

With the Wolfsbane potion and Alexis's neutralizing blend, Lupine survived the full moon safely.

The time has come to the end of October, Halloween is approaching, and the campus has begun to take on a festive atmosphere.

Just before Halloween, Alexis planned to go to the Pig's Head Bar for a drink with Lupine in the evening. He came to Lupine's office, but found that there was no one there.

After asking several people, I learned that Lupine was called to the principal's office by Dumbledore.

"Lupin, let's go and drink tonight—"

Alexis used the exhaustive method to match the password, and happily opened the door and entered. The words in his mouth stopped abruptly after seeing the people in the office.

Ostrich Minister, Cornelius Fudge, why is he here?

"Alex, this is the new Minister of Magic, Mr. Cornelius Fudge."

Dumbledore introduced the two of them.

"This is Alexis."

Alexis looked at Cornelius Fudge in confusion, ignoring the hand stretched out by the other party, and turned to look at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore shook his head slightly.

"Dumbledore, if nothing happens, I want to borrow Lupin."

Alexis couldn't understand what was going on in the room, so she simply picked up Lupine and walked out.

"Mr. Alexis." Minister Ostrich called out to Alexis.

"Please wait."

"I'm afraid I can't let Remus Lupine go with you just yet."

Alexis stopped and looked back at Cornelius Fudge.

"who are you?"

Alexis looked past Fudge to Dumbledore.

"Where did this come from, Dumbledore?"

"How come cats and dogs can walk into your office?"

"Do you want me to ask Mr. Filch to help clean it up?"

Dumbledore smiled helplessly.

The muscles in Cornelius Fudge's face twitched as he reached for a piece of paper from his assistant and handed it to Alexis.

"Mr. Alexis, things have taken a new turn, and we need to—"

"Please call me Felix, I'm not that familiar with you yet."

Alexis interrupted Fudge, grabbing the paper and flipping through it impatiently.

This is an "arrest warrant", and the person arrested is none other than Lu Ping.

"Thanks to the joint cooperation between the wizarding world and the Muggle world, we have found Fenrir's whereabouts."

Fudge said proudly.

"Fenrir proposed that he could hand over to us the list of all participants in the Yorkshire tragedy. In exchange, he needs us to guarantee his safety."

"In this list we see the name of Remus Lupin."

"We need to take Remus Lupin away and continue the investigation."

"A werewolf - no, a madman, a murderer. Do you believe what he says?"

Alexis faced Fudge, but she was asking Dumbledore.

Didn't you agree that you can always trust Dumbledore?

Why did things happen again in less than a month?

He subconsciously blocked Lupine behind him, his two arms left his body, opened slightly, and one hand went deep into his arms.

"We don't want this either, Alec-Mr. Felix, we don't want this either. After all, Remus Lupin is a teacher personally appointed by Mr. Dumbledore."

Fudge said hypocritically

"But there are new doubts about the matter, and we must investigate clearly. If Remus Lupine is indeed wronged, we can also use this to clear his name."

"How to investigate?"

Alexis's back muscles were slightly tense and his arms were straining. He couldn't get an answer from Dumbledore, so he stared closely at Fudge in front of him, like a tiger guarding its cubs, ready to go.

"It's simple." Fudge didn't seem to feel Alexis' hostility. He spread his hands and explained.

"As long as we take Lupin away and survive the full moon night in a week, as long as Remus Lupine does not transform on the full moon night, it will naturally prove his innocence."

The problem is that he is the one who will transform on that day, grow hairy, and go crazy!

"Alexis."

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Lupine suddenly patted Alexis on the shoulder.

He lowered his head slightly, as if he was not used to speaking on such occasions. Seeing that everyone in the office was focusing on him, Lu Ping's voice became even softer.

"Let me go with them."

Lu Ping stood up, with guilt and remorse in his clear eyes.

Alexis didn't know what he was blaming himself for or whom he was feeling guilty about, but now was not the time for mutual humiliation.

"no!"

Alexis said forcefully.

"Lupine is a teacher at Hogwarts. You can't take him away with just this piece of paper."

"unless--"

"Unless you come up with the decision-making letter of the board of directors."

Yes, Hogwarts has a school board. Although most of the time, Dumbledore, the principal of Hogwarts has the final say. The board of directors is just a decoration and does not interfere with Dumbledore's decision-making. But this Isn't it a good opportunity for it to shine? 【Note 1】

Alexis applauded her wit.

"Did you mean this?"

Fudge took another piece of paper from his assistant and handed it to Alexis, the tone of his voice almost rising to the sky.
