Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

Alexis thought about the past.

He was a proud and stubborn man, but he had to admit that Christie was right.

Although the letter he later wrote to Arthur seemed sincere, it did not change the fact that he was forcing Arthur to make a choice.

There were also Christie, Black and Lupin. After they agreed to his invitation, he was filled with joy and did not consider what would happen if they failed.

It seems that in his mind, it is a matter of course that they support him unconditionally.

Of course, because they are all friends.

If it were him, he would support them unconditionally.

But this does not mean that he can enjoy the support of his friends without any worries and no consideration for them.

He can disregard everything and give up everything for his friends, but he cannot hold others to the same standards. His understanding of his friends cannot be applied to others.How is that different from kidnapping?

Alexis carefully recalled the past with Lucius, especially the words he said in London a few days ago.

"It's none of your business"

"As long as things are done well, I will guarantee the status of the Malfoy family as agreed, unless I die."

Listen, is this human?

If someone else had said this to him, he would have greeted him with three consecutive greetings: "Avada chews the big melon", "Shattered to pieces" and "Shen Feng Wu Ying".

And Arthur.

What was wrong with Arthur thinking about his family?

He himself does not dare to say that his plan is 100% successful, and even now, he cannot see the dawn of success at all.How could he ask Arthur to gamble with his family?

And Black and Lupine.

They support themselves unconditionally, and they take advantage of them as a matter of course, without any consideration for them.This was not how he initially treated his friends.

And Vernon...

Vernon forget it.

No matter what he did later or what he did before, the fact that he abused Harry was irrefutable, and for that reason alone, it was impossible for Alexis to forgive him.

……

Looking back on the past, Alexis suddenly realized that what Christie said was not wrong. Unknowingly, he had changed.

As for how it became like this, Alexis didn't know, but he secretly reminded himself in his heart that this was a warning, a warning that was discovered and investigated before the crisis broke out. He could not let this happen again. Happened once.

"Christy."

Alexis shouted in the direction of the kitchen.

"I think what you say makes sense."

Christie walked over with a cup in hand, showing a bright smile.

The sun shone just right on her body, and her fine, slightly messy hair was tucked behind her ears. Christie sat opposite Alexis, nodded slightly at him, and picked up Arthur's information again.

"Arthur is actually very suitable. His grades at Hogwarts are very good, although now he..."

Alexis stared blankly at Christie, staring at her lips that kept opening and closing, her expression a little dull.

"Alexis?"

"Alexis?"

"Are you listening?"

"What are you dazed about?"

Alexis came back to his senses and saw Christie's palm dangling in front of his eyes.

Seeing him come to his senses, Christie rolled his eyes and said again

"Arthur has excellent grades and strong learning ability. He doesn't know much about the Muggle world now, but as long as he studies for a while, he will soon achieve something..."

After saying that, Christie looked at Alexis.

Valley</span> "Huh?" Facing Christie's gaze, Alexis suddenly felt his face getting hot. He looked away from Christie and stared at the cupboard in the kitchen and said, "Then Arthur. .”

"I wrote to him——"

"No, I'm going to see him next weekend - but"

At this point, Alexis came back to his senses. He turned his gaze back to Christie, looked at her for a moment, and then looked away awkwardly.

"But isn't Arthur unwilling to join?"

Christie stared at Alexis without making a sound.

Alexis noticed something strange and glanced at Christie secretly, just in time to see her half-smiling expression. With a brush, the burning sensation spread to the tips of her ears.

Christie stared at Alexis's red ears and said

"Arthur has agreed."

"Yeah!" Alexis was extremely surprised. "When? When did he agree?"

"Shortly after you wrote that letter to him." Christie began to collect the information. "He had resigned from the Department for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Articles and went to study in the Muggle world."

"I estimate that I will be able to come back next summer and officially take over Felix Badmore Production Company."

"Great!"

Alexis let out a cheer, threw her arms around Kristy and shouted.

After cheering, Alexis' body began to stiffen.

The faint scent of lavender came from the tip of his nose, giving him an itchy feeling.

The room suddenly became quiet, and he could even hear Christie's heartbeat clearly.

thump -- thump -- thump --

"I'm going back!"

As if being shocked, Alexis quickly let go, stood up awkwardly and said hello, and ran away without waiting for Christie's reply.

It wasn't until he walked out of the house that the burning sensation subsided. Alexis couldn't help but look back and murmured to himself.

"What does it feel like?"

This feeling was extremely unfamiliar to him, and this strange unknown made him a little scared and a little expectant.

……

The next week, Alexis rushed to London again, and he first went to Lucius.

Even though he realized his mistake, he still couldn't save face and apologized when facing Lucius.

After saying a lot of incomprehensible words, Alexis patted Lucius on the shoulder inexplicably.

"Do a good job, Lucius. I think Draco is very talented. I am going to take him to Egypt for research in the summer."

"By the way, I also promised them that whoever gets good grades will buy a customized Firebolt."

"do you want?"

After asking the last sentence, Alexis was so embarrassed that she almost committed suicide by hitting the wall on the spot.Fortunately, Lucius had seen big scenes. He was as steady as a rock. He calmly shook his head and rejected Alexis' customized version of the Firebolt, saying that he didn't like flying broomsticks.

He speaks and behaves appropriately, behaves appropriately, and has the demeanor of a general.

"Where is Arthur?"

Alexis didn't dare to talk any more. He was afraid that if he continued, something even more embarrassing would happen.

"At a Muggle football club,"

Lucius has also been learning the common sense of the Muggle world recently, and he no longer knows anything about the Muggle world like before.

"By the way, we plan to get together in Hogsmeade at Christmas. Remember to bring Narcissa with us."

As a reminder, Alexis didn't dare to wait for a moment longer, for fear of causing another embarrassing situation, and hurriedly rushed out the door.
