Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

Human language is very interesting. The same words will have different meanings when spoken on different occasions.

Similarly, different words spoken on the same occasion may have basically the same meaning.

Alexis happily expressed her dissatisfaction with the various ills in the wizarding world, and received Arthur's approval with both hands.

Then Alexis's eyes sparkled.

"So, I plan to change everything, Arthur!"

Alexis himself didn't realize that at this moment, the manner and tone of his speech were very similar to Grindelwald who gave a speech in Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris to summon his fellow travelers.

"We can be more open and learn from the Muggle world..."

Alexis opened his arms slightly and delivered his speech. Although this was his first time, he didn't have stage fright. He only had one audience, right?

He is full of energy, full of emotion, ups and downs, and impassioned.Finally, he looked at the only audience in front of him sincerely

"So, Arthur, join me!"

"Let's change the world together!"

The great Mr. Alexis, the only audience member of his first speech, Mr. Arthur Weasley, now had his mouth slightly open, eyes wide, holding a teacup in his hand, and had forgotten to respond.

If it weren't for the fact that his slightly protruding belly was rising, falling, rising, falling in a rhythmic manner...someone would have suspected that this was a statue.

"Arthur?"

Alexis realized that the situation might be different from what he imagined, and he shouted again.

"what!"

Arthur came back to his senses, picked up the teacup, poured a sip of tea into his mouth, and then hurriedly placed the teacup on the corner of the table.

"Oh! Great! I mean, Frackxis, what you said is great."

"You found a lot of problems, yes, that's right, a lot of problems. A lot of problems, problems that no one else could find. Well, that's it."

Mr. Arthur Weasley was a little incoherent.He wiped the sweat from his forehead, panting a little.Even though it was summer, it wasn't actually hot inside the Ministry of Magic.But he was still sweating.

He reached out and pulled the red tie around his neck, loosening it so that more oxygen could be introduced into his lungs.

He felt a little hypoxic and dizzy.

Arthur's eyes were darting around, not daring to look into the expectant eyes opposite him.

He knew Alexis too well, even though Arthur had already graduated when Alexis went to school, even though they were ten years apart, and even though they didn't get along as much as Blake and the others, Arthur was very fond of Alexis. Si understands too well.

When Alexis first started telling the story, Arthur thought he was joking. He got himself a cup of black tea and prepared to listen to the story. When he got home from work, he could use it as a casual conversation at the dinner table.

When Alexis was mid-sentence, he realized that Alexis wasn't joking.

This startled him.

If Alexis is serious, things could get very troublesome.

Arthur was a little in disbelief. It wasn't until Alexis sent the invitation that Arthur realized:

Oh, turns out Alexis really means it!

Once Alexis sees something, it's hard to change his mind.

But what Alexis wants to do, look at the problems he has to face.

First, he is challenging the traditions of the wizarding world.

Muggle persecution of wizards has never stopped since ancient times. Even after the introduction of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, it has not stopped, but the number of wizards being persecuted has decreased.

Arthur's rich experience made him clearly aware that Muggles, those Muggles who know wizards and the existence of magic, have always had a strong curiosity about wizards. If there are no moral and legal constraints, and if there is no deterrent from the huge population of the wizarding world, Those Muggles had already rushed into each Ministry of Magic, captured them in the laboratory, and studied them in detail.

And conversely, what about wizards' views on Muggles?

Although the wizarding world is now friendly enough to Muggles after Dumbledore's advocacy, in fact, the wizarding world generally believes that wizards are superior to Muggles.

This is not a class distinction between masters and slaves, but more akin to that between tramps and elites.

This traditional understanding alone is enough to make Alexis difficult.

Want wizards to learn from Muggles?

What kind of joke are you asking a petty bourgeoisie who drinks coffee and listens to NetEase Cloud to learn from a homeless man?

This is just the beginning.

According to Alexis's vision, make wizards and Muggles compatible with each other...

OMG!

Arthur felt that this was even more difficult than getting Lucius to sit at the same table with him and eat. How do grease and water merge?

How do rabbits and tigers live together?

This is literally turning the Norwegian Spinosaurus into a vegan diet.

Arthur really wanted Alexis to wake up a little bit. It was only past twelve o'clock at noon, and it was not the time to sleep and dream, but he also knew that it would be almost impossible for a stubborn person like Alexis to make him change his mind. It's impossible.

And once Alexis really realizes that he can't change the status quo, he can't change reality...

"I need time to think about it, yes, I mean, I want to think about it."

Arthur wiped his sweat and said

"You said too much, I need time to digest it."

Alexis felt relieved.

This is not the answer he wanted!

But compared to rejection, compared to the argument with Lucius in the Leaky Cauldron, this result is already very good.

He didn't want to think about what the phrase "consider it" meant.

"Okay, then I'll leave first and you think about it carefully."

Alexis twitched his lips. He felt that the atmosphere was a little inexplicably awkward. He wanted to say hello and farewell to Arthur with a smile as usual, but there seemed to be something blocking him from doing so.

So, he pulled out a stiff smile, which was simply uglier than crying.

"Hi, Arthur." When he reached the door, he turned back and said, "Remember to answer me as soon as possible. We don't have much time. There are still many things to do."

"what?"

"Oh. I know, I know, I will, as soon as possible, as soon as possible."

Arthur responded in a panic, accidentally hitting the cup on the ground, and the tea spilled all over the ground.He hurriedly started to clean up.

Alexis shook her head and left the cramped Department for the Misuse of Muggle Articles.

After leaving the Ministry of Magic, Alexis stood on the street. He raised his hand to block the sun with his arms, and stopped to look into the distance.

He always felt that the sunshine today was a bit dazzling.

Alexis' eyes wandered back and forth on the street, and finally stopped at the old red phone booth. He came to the phone booth and twitched the corners of his mouth again against the glass of the phone booth.

Still ugly!

Alexis shook her head and prepared to go find Randolph.
