Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

Chapter 254, Welcome Dinner

The Hogwarts Express was emitting black smoke and chugging forward. The sun was setting outside the window, and before we knew it, it was already evening.

Alexis finally rested, but Harry and the other little ones who had been chirping all afternoon were sleepy. Therefore, when he opened his eyes, he saw several children opposite him sleeping soundly in different postures.

Alexis turned her gaze to Malfoy beside her, and then a question mark slowly appeared on her head.

Malfoy was unpacking snacks. He opened the boxes of chocolate frogs, then dug out the gift picture from the inside, took a look at it and threw it aside casually, then continued to grab the next chocolate frog and opened it.

The table was already densely covered with chocolate frog boxes, and the candy frogs inside seemed to be resurrected, jumping on the table and making a mess.

There was also a pile of unopened chocolate frogs piled on the seats for two people.

He watched Malfoy open another box, then put the candy inside into his mouth as if to vent his anger, chewed it hard, muttered something, and continued to reach into the next box.Alexis grabbed a chocolate frog candy, looked at it, and asked

"Draco, what are you doing?"

This thing looks really ugly. I really don’t understand why little wizards like it so much.

Malfoy was startled by Alexis' sudden question. He hurriedly grabbed the chocolate frog box that almost fell to the ground, and shook his head in panic, "No, it's nothing. Sir, are you awake?"

"Want some chocolate frog?"

Alexis glanced at the chocolate frog candies scattered on the table, silently put down the candies in her hand, and shook her head.

"Why are you buying so many chocolate frog candies?"

Malfoy didn't look like he was enjoying it.

"Ah! No, it's nothing," Malfoy stammered, turning his body towards Alexis to block the pile of unopened chocolate frogs on his seat.

Alexis shook his head and did not continue to ask.

He suspected that Malfoy might have bought the entire train's chocolate frog candies.

They were only in their second year of school and couldn't go to Hogsmeade on weekends. I really don't know why Lucius gave Malfoy so much pocket money.

……

The train chugged along, the sun set outside the window, and night fell.

The sleeping little ones woke up one after another, and there was a growling stomach sound in the carriage.

Fortunately, Malfoy bought a lot of chocolate frogs. After asking for permission, Harry and others immediately eliminated all the candies, finally alleviating their hunger a little.

The familiar scenery came into view, the train finally stopped slowly, and the quiet train became noisy again.

"Let's go."

Alexis stood up, opened the carriage door, and led the little ones into the crowd.

"First graders! First graders come here!"

As soon as I stepped out of the train door, I heard Hagrid's loud voice.

Alexis walked a few steps quickly and squeezed out from the chattering students. He stepped forward and was hugged by Hagrid.

Hagrid's big slaps hit him hard on the back several times, coupled with the loud laughter, which almost made Alexis, who was dizzy from hunger, faint on the spot.

"Alexis, haha! You're finally back!"

Hagrid looked pleased.He was still dressed in that slovenly manner, holding an oil lamp high in his hand, which made Alexis very worried that his unkempt beard would be burned off.

"Ahem—Hagrid, let me go first, I'm going to be beaten to death by you."

Alexis struggled out of Hagrid's arms.

"Come in quickly and come see me after the dinner. Qiuqiu and Yaya miss you."

Hagrid was also busy recruiting new students, so there wasn't much time left for the two of them to reminisce about old times.

After agreeing on a time, Alexis took the first step, shook hands with Professor McGonagall at the door, and walked into Hogwarts.

Gu</span> All the way to the restaurant, the professors were already sitting in their seats, and even many senior students were already seated. Alexis's position was arranged at one end of the teacher's seat, and next to him was Lupin .

After Alexis greeted the professors one by one, he sat down in his seat. At this time, all the students had entered the restaurant.

The students sat down in different schools. On the long dining table, thousands of candles floated in the air, illuminating the spacious restaurant like daylight.There were gleaming golden plates and knives and forks on the dining table, and ghosts in different costumes shuttled among them.

Above the restaurant, the velvet-like ceiling is dotted with stars, which looks mysterious and inviting, just like the starry sky.

Professor McGonagall was still the important host of the sorting ceremony. She led the first-year students to stand aside, and then took out a high stool with a tattered hat placed on the stool.

Sorting Hat, meet again.

Alexis stared at the Sorting Hat and said hello silently.

Then he silently blocked his ears.Watching the Sorting Hat have a split mouth, the mouth keeps opening and closing, the hat body twists back and forth, and the wide brim trembles.

Alexis kept rolling her eyes.

If it hadn't been allowed, if Professor McGonagall hadn't stared at him sternly, he would have wanted to burn this guy to ashes with a fire spell.

Damn the Sorting Hat!

It's singing!

And it’s very ugly!

Why not finish the dinner first and then sort?

Alexis stared at the ceiling, thinking silently, and then boredly began to count the stars.

When he counted to 570 three, the students began to applaud, and Alexis silently looked away and lowered his hand.

Finally finished singing!

Amidst the thunderous applause, Professor McGonagall took a step forward with a piece of parchment. The applause slowly stopped and the huge restaurant became quiet.

Professor McGonagall seemed satisfied with this, a smile appeared on her lips.

Alexis interpreted the smile as appreciation for not burning the Sorting Hat.

"Whoever's name I call next will put on the Sorting Hat, sit on a chair, and wait for the Sorting Hat." Professor McGonagall cleared her throat. "Luna Lovegood"

A little girl with gray eyes and dirty blond hair came out and put on the Sorting Hat.

"Ravenclaw!"

After a moment, the damn Sorting Hat shouted.

The little girl took off her hat and walked to the Ravenclaw table amidst sparse applause.

"Next person……"

Alexis continued to look up and count the stars. Where did she just count?

Yes, 570 three!

570 four!

570 five...

When Alexis counted to four thousand three hundred and eighty seven, the last unnamed little boy was sorted into Gryffindor. After receiving warm applause from the little lions, Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment and held the sorting hat. leave.

The dinner party finally started!

At least for Alexis, now is the beginning.

Under the "eager" eyes of Alexis, Dumbledore stood up slowly - he was wearing the strange robe given by Alexis, with a kind and gentle smile on his face, like a strange old man who abducted children. His movements were so slow that Alexis wanted to go up and help him so that he could quickly announce the start of the dinner.
