Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

When Dumbledore braved the turbulent sea breeze and ran out to finally find Alexis, Alexis was sleeping lightly against the tombstone.

Dumbledore stood in front of the tombstone for a while and looked at it. The wind became stronger again.

Bayer, who chased Dumbledore out, stepped forward and picked up Alexis, then pulled Dumbledore back to the stone castle. After closing the door, he could still hear the roar of the sea wind outside.

By the time Bayer and Dumbledore returned to the room, Alexis had already woken up.

He was wearing a soiled sheet that had been stepped on, and he was packing the items in the room in a slightly comical way.

He put the horror movie props and toys into the bag. Some of them had become incomplete after yesterday's destruction and were in pieces. Alexis did not use magic to restore them. He just carefully removed each piece. The fragments were collected and put into cloth bags.

Finally there was the wooden box found under the bed.

Opening the wooden box, there was a neat row of wands inside.

Alexis only glanced at it before closing the lid and stuffing the wooden box into the cloth bag.

Then came the crooked stools, the oddly shaped bowls and basins, and finally the table.

Alexis tried it, but the bag was already full and the table couldn't fit in, so he took out another bag, stuffed the table into his arms, and this time, he smiled with satisfaction, and then He took out another cloth bag and looked at the bed.

When Alexis was doing this, Dumbledore and Byer were watching. When Byer was about to persuade Alexis to let go, Dumbledore grabbed Byer and shook his head slightly at him.

"Alex."

After Alexis had put away all the items in the house, Dumbledore came to Alexis' side.

"Do you want to come back to Hogwarts with me tomorrow?"

Alexis shook his head and stood in the middle of the room, looking around to see if anything else had been left behind. "I want to go to London."

"Bayer, let's go back with you first."

As if expecting Dumbledore to be confused about his decision, Alexis explained, "The Nimbus Racing Broom Company is preparing to launch Nimbus 2001, and Randolph needs me."

After confirming that nothing was missing, Alexis turned around and said, "I'm glad now, Dumbledore, that I'm no longer a child."

……

The next day, the sea breeze did not stop, it even became more violent.

The three of them braved the wind and came to the island. There were two small boats parked here, rocking violently with the rough waves.

Dumbledore, Bile, and Alexis got on the boat, and they started rowing against the wind.

When the boat docked, Dumbledore realized that Alexis was missing.

Byer was about to go back to search, but was stopped by Dumbledore, who pointed into the distance.In the direction of Nurmengard, a column of smoke rose into the sky, and the fire even dyed the low-hanging dark clouds red.

"Let's go. Let's go back first."

Dumbledore said, turning and leaving.

On the island of Nurmengard.

Alexis bent over, breathing heavily, looking at the burning island in front of him, and suddenly grinned.

A wave hit, and the boat began to rock. Alexis's body swayed, trying to maintain balance.

"Goodbye, Grindelwald."

he murmured.

……

London at night.

Alexis appeared on the street wearing a wrinkled windbreaker. After entering Diagon Alley through the entrance, Alexis did not stop and turned around to reach a Quidditch store.

It was already late at night, and the streets were dark and deserted.

Alexis stared at the Nimbus 2001 poster taped to the shop window for a while, then pulled out her wand.

wow-

The glass display window was broken, Alexis walked into the store and stood in the center of the store.

Looking around, the shelves are filled with all kinds of gadgets from the Nimbus Racing Broom Company. On one wall are densely packed Nimbus series brooms. There is a nameplate hanging under each broomstick, which clearly introduces Its origin and achievements.

In the darkness, a little light lit up, and then the light became brighter and brighter. Soon, orange-red fire filled the entire shop, and the flames swept through, swallowing up the precious broomsticks and turning them into ashes.

People on both sides of the street began to notice the movement here. The lights turned on. People rushed out of their homes in their clothes and gathered at the door of the shop, pointing at the fire inside the shop.

After a while, the owner of the shop came after hearing the news, but it was already too late. The flames in the shop had gradually extinguished, and the dry and hot temperature radiated from the shop, warming people's bodies.

The shop owner rushed into the shop with a sad face, and then let out a scream.

Inside the store, the burned ashes slowly fell, forming a string of words "for the greater good" on the ground.

"It's him! It's him! She's back! He escaped from that place!"

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he stumbled out and fell to the ground in a panic. He shouted crazily, got up, squeezed through the crowd, and quickly disappeared.

……

Hogsmeade, Alexis' house.

Alexis changed into a clean windbreaker and walked out of the bathroom. His face was flushed after just taking a hot bath, and he looked much healthier.

The living room was full of people, Lupine, Black, Christie, Lucius, Arthur... all the participants of his "great plan" were present.

Since the planned Christmas party was not attended by Alexis due to something unexpected, Christie hosted the party on his behalf. Fortunately, their party was not just a party, and no one cared about it.

After the party, Lucius and others planned to leave, but they suddenly received the news that Grindelwald had passed away, so they stayed. As a result, Alexis appeared here on the third night and took them Reassemble.

"I am fine."

As soon as Alexis appeared, Christie stood up and prepared to offer words of comfort. Others also cast concerned glances, but Alexis waved her hand first, blocking their comforting and caring greetings.

He walked to everyone and sat down. After looking around, he said

"The trip to Egypt was decided at short notice and I'm sorry that I couldn't fulfill the contract."

"Dumbledore received a special distress letter from Slughorn. I judge that Muggles are hunting Slughorn."

"It turns out that my judgment was correct."

"On Christmas Day—"

At this point, he paused.Christmas Day was the day Grindelwald died.

"On Christmas Day, I got caught on purpose and escaped with Slughorn."

"According to my judgment, there is indeed a large Muggle force studying us."

"Why did they attack Slughorn?"

Lucius asked.

"I suspect it's not just Slughorn, there are many people who have been captured, but we don't know." Alexis said, "Just like Slughorn, if he hadn't sent a letter to Dumbledore , no one will know he is being arrested."

"Lucius, when you go back, do a secret investigation to see how many people have disappeared mysteriously. The main targets are focused on wizards who are old, retired, have no family, and like to travel, in order to have outstanding contributions or achievements in a certain area. Specially accomplished wizards come first.”
