Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

London.

It was already the end of July, only two days before Rufus and Umbridge's wedding, and only five days before Harry's birthday.

"You're saying that Rufus canceled the three-year training period for Aurors, and all he needs to do is get the corresponding NEWT and OWL certificates?"

Two people were walking on the streets of London, and their clothes did not attract attention. In such weird weather as London, wearing a windbreaker in the summer is not a strange outfit.

Alexis asked in surprise after listening to Christie's introduction to Miss Tonks.

"Yes, I heard from a former colleague. He believes that the NEWT and OWL certificates are enough to prove that candidates are suitable and ready to become an Auror. The three-year training period is just a waste of time."

Christie shrugged and said helplessly.

After being surprised, Alexis looked a little angry. He sneered and started to be angry, "Yes, that's Rufus Scrimgeour, the famous lion, the manager of the Auror Department. He knows Aurors best. Ha." !”

Alexis' eccentricity attracted Christie's sideways glances. Although she knew that Alexis liked to sarcastically mock others, she still found it very interesting every time she heard it.

"I heard Black mention her. You know, this Ms. Tonks's mother is from the Black family."

Alexis explained after the yin and yang finished Rufus.

Christie glanced at Alexis and said nothing.As far as she knew, Sirius Black was not someone who liked to talk about family members. The guy wished he wasn't named Black.

"Andromeda - Tonks's mother, she married a wizard from a Muggle family. Mr. Tonks was born in a Muggle family."

"The Black family removed Mrs. Tonks from the family because of this incident - ha! The biggest weapon of the famous Black family is to remove family members."

Having said this, Alexis couldn't help but start to feel weird again.Then he thought of something and frowned and asked

"What did Lupine do with Ms. Tonks? How did they meet?"

Christie stared at Alexis with wide eyes, trying to see a trace of disguise on his face, but ultimately failed.

A single man traveled thousands of miles and used his rare vacation time to find a young and beautiful lady. What do you think he was doing?

After all, you don’t want to make games, right?

"He likes her, Mr. Remus Lupin, and he likes Ms. Tonks."

Christie spoke word by word, staring closely into Alexis's eyes.

"Lupin likes Tonks?" Alexis frowned, expressing her incomprehension. "She's only 19 years old!"

"People of the same age may not be together anyway."

Christie complained in a low voice.

"what?"

"It's nothing."

"I don't understand how Lupine could fall in love with someone who is more than ten years younger than him." Alexis frowned, expressing that she didn't understand "When Lupine was 19, Ms. Tonks had just learned to walk."

"But they are adults now."

"I still don't understand." Alexis shook her head, still unable to understand.

"Okay, we're here." Christie felt that there would be no results if she continued to explain to Alexis, so she simply changed the subject.

According to Christie, Lupine came to London to find Tonks, so Tonks must know where Lupine is. As long as they find Tonks, they can get the whereabouts of Lupine.

"I'll go," Christie stopped Alexis. She looked at Alexis who looked confused and pointed to the coffee shop across the street. "Maybe you can go have a cup of coffee and have a rest. I'll be back soon." .”

"it is good."

Alexis didn't quite understand why Christie didn't let her go into the Ministry of Magic with her, but she could probably do it alone by asking Tonks about Lupin's whereabouts.

Alexis walked into the cafe opposite and chose a seat by the window to sit down.

As soon as a cup of coffee was served, Christie and a strange woman walked over.

Or it would be more appropriate to describe it as a girl.

Even if Alexis knows nothing about this, you can still feel the youthful vigor and vitality at a glance.

This is a girl wearing a Weird Sisters shirt and patchwork jeans. She has brightly colored hair.

The girl held Christie's arm affectionately as she walked, seeming to be saying something, with a lively smile on her face.

Alexis found it a bit harsh.

Maybe the liveliness of the 19-year-old made him feel a little uncomfortable?

He put down his coffee cup, paid and left the cafe, walking towards Christie.

"Hi! This is Tonks, Nymphadora Tonks, I heard Remus mention you, Mr. Alexis."

Before Alexis could say anything, the girl greeted her with a smile, her mouth firing like a machine gun.

"Hello." Alexis felt even more uncomfortable. "Where is Lupine?"

He shook hands with the girl without interest, gave a perfunctory greeting, and then quickly got to the point.

Oh my God!He just wants to leave quickly!Stay away from this girl!

I don't know why, but he didn't feel this uncomfortable at that time even though he had come into contact with sixth and seventh grade students at Hogwarts, who were even younger than her.

Tonks was not displeased by Alexis's mood. She smiled and said, "Come with me, Remus is staying in a Muggle hotel. We have agreed that I will go find him after get off work." "

"By the way, we also made an appointment to go see a movie together tonight."

"Lupine may be breaking his promise."

Alexis said calmly

"Also, Lupine is more used to being taught Lupine than his name, Remus, ha!"

"Alexis!"

Christie raised her voice to signal Alexis to stop being so weird.

Alexis curled her lips and said nothing.

"Come on, I think Lupine will be happy to see you."

Tonks said cheerfully, not seeming to mind Alexis' rudeness at all.

"How did Lupine and I meet?"

"It was during the Yorkshire Massacre. You may not remember, but I was the one responsible for bringing Lupine back."

"You know Lupin-"

Christie stopped in shock, half-sentence, and swallowed the other half hesitantly.

"You mean he's a werewolf? I know." Tonks said nonchalantly. "Of course I know. But Lupine is different from other werewolves."

"Later, Lupine stayed at the Byron Hotel, and I went to contact him. We started to know each other from that time."

"Since then, the Auror Department has canceled the training period?"

Alexis interjected.

He remembered that he had received a message from Mundungus, which mentioned the training of the Auror Department, but the time did not match what Tonks said!

The Yorkshire massacre happened during the reign of Ostrich Minister Cornelius Fudge, and Christie said it was a training period that was canceled only after Rufus became minister.

"No, we were still going through training at that time. That time we were sent there temporarily just because there were not enough manpower. After the incident was over, we went back to continue training."

"Later, Lupine was hired to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School. We kept exchanging letters until just before the holidays. After my repeated invitations, Lupine agreed to come to London."

"Okay, here we are."

As soon as they spoke, they had reached their destination.
