Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

"Keep your students safe."

Dumbledore didn't say much, much to Alexis' disappointment.

Until he left the principal's office, he still didn't know what the werewolf wanted to do.

Saying goodbye to the aesthetically pleasing gargoyle, Alexis waved goodbye to Hagrid and wandered around the empty main building alone.

Hearing footsteps and familiar voices, Alexis would hide subconsciously, and then she would remember that she was already a teacher and didn't have to be afraid of Filch and Mrs. Norris who were on night watch.But he still avoided Filch, and even occasionally made noises on purpose to attract Filch, and then hid again.

This kind of exciting action made him feel like he was going back in time, as if he and the four Blacks were still students, preparing to run out and play at night.

Several times he almost shouted, "Be careful, Black," because it was Black who clumsily made the noise every time.

Playing hide and seek with Filch, Alexis unknowingly came to a familiar tapestry.

After standing in front of the tapestry and looking at it for a while, Alexis opened the door and walked in until Filch's footsteps came from around the corner.

Different from last time, this time when I came in, the room was not dirty, but was arranged in an orderly manner.

Where the chairs and tables were originally stacked, there was an operation table, and incubators were neatly stacked. On the side against the wall was a compartment with all kinds of experimental equipment.

The wall on the other side is densely packed with books.

This kind of mix and match style of library and laboratory does not seem to be inconsistent.

However, there is no Mirror of Erised.

The familiar mirror is not here.

Dumbledore probably moved it.

Alexis looked around, walked under the bookshelf, and sat down with her back against the bookshelf.

He didn't read a book, he just leaned back, resting his arms on his head, staring at the console in a daze.

He has been to this place before. Not only him, many people know this house.

The house elves called this the Room of Access, and James and his friends called it the "Room of Requirements."It is said that the rooms here can be decorated according to the needs of the requesters.

The last time Harry hid here, it looked like an abandoned classroom. It was precisely because Harry needed an inconspicuous abandoned classroom to hide.

So, the scene in front of me that is exactly the same as my office layout means that I need to do an experiment?

Alexis pouted, only a devil would do an experiment.

His experiments have been stagnant for a long time, and timely treatment drugs cannot be developed. He still hasn't figured out the principles of earthworm resurrection and snake curling, and it's annoying to think about it.

Alexis simply took out a volume of "Magic, Potions, and Botany" and started making a lesson plan.

A certain nagging person was right. He did not prepare the teaching content well. Seeing that class was about to start tomorrow, he was quite anxious.

Alexis slowly turned the pages of the book and pulled the hairs out of the quill one by one. Soon the quill turned into a bald tail.

……

Like last year, his pharmacy is the only elective course that can be taken in the first year, and other elective courses must wait until the second year.

If it were in the past, Alexis might have gone to Dumbledore, or even the school board or the Ministry of Magic, and requested that her Pharmacy course be made a compulsory course, just like the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, starting from the first grade. Required.

But perhaps because of a guilty conscience, he did not do so.

Of course, Alexis did not admit that he had a guilty conscience. He preferred to explain it as fear of trouble.

Umbridge was in charge of the exams, and he had a falling out with Rufus, the Minister of Magic. Once he applied, he had to go to Rufus and Umbridge.

Whoever the newlyweds were, Alexis didn't want to see them.

He didn't even want to think about them.

Why didn't Lockhart, the bastard, delete all my memories of this couple?

Alexis thought angrily, and couldn't help but picture Umbridge nestled in Rufus' arms.

He read it in the newspaper.

Many people were invited to the wedding of Rufus and Umbridge, and countless people attended. The media specially took a photo of the two embracing each other sweetly and published it, with the words "Minister of Magic" in bold fonts. Rufus marries Ms. Umbridge."

Pooh!

That smile full of wrinkles, that smile so fake that it gave rise to goosebumps, made him feel excited when he thought about it now.

Alexis thought about the photo in the newspaper again, and he quickly shook his head to get rid of the memory of the photo.

Even if it weren't for the two of them, he wouldn't be planning to apply to make pharmacy a compulsory course now.

He will be very busy this year. In addition to teaching, he also has to continue to make plans, oversee the impact of Firebolt on Quidditch games, and pay close attention to the trends of the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government.

Oh, and Lockhart!

That bastard actually had the guts to use the Forgetting Curse on himself!

Thinking of this incident, Alexis felt itchy with hatred.

What a shame!

Snapped!

Alexis closed the book, threw away the bare quill, stood up and left the Room of Requirement.

The corridor was still empty. Filch and Mrs. Norris were patrolling somewhere, and everything was quiet.

In the dim light, the statue on the side looked a bit eerie.

Alexis walked to the tapestry, looked up at it for a long time, curled her lips and left.

……

Early the next morning, in the restaurant.

The students are far more skilled at switching between vacation and study than anyone else. After just one night, they have recovered from the loose vacation life.

The dining room seemed a bit noisy, students gathered together in twos and threes, and there were bowls of porridge, plates of pickled herrings, mountains of bread slices, and plates of eggs and bacon on the dining table.

This is a nutritious breakfast carefully prepared by the house elves at Hogwarts.

Alexis was disgusted by this and chewed the toast she had baked.

He wandered around the main building for most of the night last night and didn't go to bed until after two o'clock. At this time, he yawned continuously, and even Lupine sitting next to him couldn't help but yawn.

Then there was Snape, who was a little further away. Snape yawned while glaring at Alexis. Seeing Alexis raising an eyebrow and smiling at him, Snape snorted coldly and lowered his head to eat breakfast.

The yawns were still contagious, and soon the entire restaurant began to be filled with the sound of yawns.

Alexis shrank her head when she saw this, ate the toast in a few mouthfuls, got up and left.

Go back and catch up on some sleep!

His first class is in two hours anyway.Two hours is enough to get some sleep.
