Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

Snape left, and Dumbledore finally had time to taste his favorite sizzling honey candies.

After pouring himself a sour soda, taking a bite of Honey Sizzle, and chatting about Alexis with the pictures on the wall, Dumbledore prepared to rest in a while.

But this comfort did not last long. The door to the principal's office was opened again, and Professor Minerva McGonagall walked in.

"I heard that you changed the class schedule?"

Dumbledore hurriedly stood up and quietly hid the remaining sizzling honey candies in his robe.

"I thought about it for a moment, and I think what you said makes sense, Professor McGonagall. Would you like a sour soda?"

Professor McGonagall ignored the cup handed over by Dumbledore and said seriously

"This is not okay, Dumbledore. If it was a month ago, it would have been okay to change the timetable when I first submitted it to you, but now that the students have received the new timetable, it is not okay to suddenly change the course schedule."

Dumbledore pointed to the door with a headache.

"Severus said the same thing just 10 minutes ago. Professor McGonagall, believe me, I don't want to change the class schedule if I can."

When Snape and the others were in school, almost everyone knew about the conflict between Alexis and Snape. It was precisely because of the conflict between the two that Professor McGonagall heard that Alexis was coming back. The timetable submitted when teaching a course.

"I told you before, Dumbledore, you should not have called Alexis back."

Professor McGonagall complained.

"Hey! Professor McGonagall, that's little Alex, my adopted son! He is a brave warrior!"

Dumbledore said dissatisfied.

Professor McGonagall had already learned how much Dumbledore loved Alexis. She pretended not to hear what Dumbledore said and prepared to continue to persuade Dumbledore to give up changing the curriculum.

"Even if the class schedule is changed, the students have not prepared textbooks at all, and the same is true for us."

"Professor McGonagall, look at this book." Dumbledore picked up a book and handed it to Professor McGonagall.

"Alex wrote it, and I think it's good enough to be used as a textbook."

This is a very thin book, only about as thick as a knuckle. The cover is a pile of unfamiliar lush grass, with a line of gold-plated fonts written on it: "Magic·Potion·Botany".

Opening the book, there are mostly illustrations inside, and the few words mostly introduce common plants on the illustrations. Reading through the book, this seems to be an ordinary children's book.

Facing McGonagall's confused gaze, Dumbledore handed over another book.

It's still "Magic, Potions, and Botany", and it still has a variety of illustrations. The difference is that the illustrations are divided into two parts, one half is about ordinary plants from the previous book, and the other half is about making potions. materials, and the text on the other side details the comparison of the two materials.

After McGonagall finished reading, Dumbledore handed over another book, still "Magic, Potions, and Botany".

This book is thinner than the previous two. There are very few illustrations in the book, and it is almost all text. It introduces in detail the processing and preservation methods of the plants in the first book.

Then, Dumbledore handed over another book.

"This is the last one, and there are three more that are under discussion for publication - Alex told me so." Dumbledore explained proudly, "Alex has formed a complete system theory. I think it is completely It can be used as a teaching material.”

After a pause, Dumbledore continued, "You all think I am taking advantage of my position to provide a backdoor for Alex - listen to me, Professor McGonagall."

"I don't deny this, but if Alex's behavior is really inappropriate, I will not make fun of the students of Hogwarts."

"Meg, you can't imagine what it felt like when Alex appeared in my life, when I saw his eyes -"

McGonagall carefully flipped through the book "Magic, Potions, and Botany" and ignored Dumbledore's memories and intoxication.

child?

Sorry, Professor McGonagall was offended.

"The last question." After Dumbledore finished recalling, Professor McGonagall raised a finger. "How do you solve the problem in the textbook?"

Dumbledore smiled slightly, knowing that Professor McGonagall had been convinced.

"Alex is very rich. He has so much savings in Gringotts." Dumbledore made a big gesture. "In the past few years, Alex's dessert shops have developed everywhere. He was happy to pay part of it."

Dumbledore didn't lie. Alexis's shop opened almost everywhere. It was very popular in both the Muggle and wizard circles, although many people didn't know that Alexis was the owner behind the shop.

Professor McGonagall is gone.

After sending Professor McGonagall away, Dumbledore did not dare to stay for a moment longer. He put the sizzling honey candies in his robe into a drawer and hid them, and quickly left the principal's office with Peter Pettigrew.

He was afraid that if he stayed for a while longer, someone would come to visit him.

For an elderly person, adequate sleep is essential!

………………

The first night at Hogwarts was uneventful.

No one was late - except Alexis, no one was killed, no mysterious gates were opened, and no one trespassed in the Forbidden Forest.

It's Christmas Eve.Alexis slept soundly.

The next day, Alexis got up early and was notified of the change in course schedule until he was having breakfast. Judging from the attitude of other professors, it was obvious that he was the last to know.

Alexis didn't go to Dumbledore to ask the reason. There was no need to ask, he knew the reason.

If he were the Potions teacher, he would not allow that annoying Snape to interfere with his lessons.

Due to a change in course schedule, he was temporarily out of class, which gave him plenty of time to enjoy a delicious breakfast instead of rushing around like other professors.

After breakfast, Professor Minerva McGonagall found Alexis and talked to him about sponsoring the pharmacy textbook.

Dumbledore left Hogwarts with Peter Pettigrew early in the morning, and Minerva McGonagall could only come to Alexis to talk about this matter.

Alexis was afraid of this serious and old-fashioned old professor in her heart. No matter how many achievements he had made outside, seeing Professor McGonagall felt like he was back in his student days, when she caught him mischievously and got into trouble.

Besides, it was not difficult for him to sponsor students' textbooks. He didn't care about the Galleons. Therefore, as soon as Professor McGonagall proposed, Alexis readily agreed.

At noon, the prefects of each college informed that an elective course taught by Professor Alexis - Pharmacy - will be added at the beginning of the new semester. It is optional for all grades. Students who need it can go to the prefect to register. Tomorrow, the prefects of each college will The head count will be sent to the professor, and formal teaching will begin next week.

As for the class schedule, the previous class schedule will be used for the time being. After the number of students is counted, it will be changed uniformly next week.
