Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

"Azkaban, Gringotts, the Ministry of Magic, werewolves, goblins, giants, etc. all have actions. If listed individually, they are just separate incidents, but link them together, dear Alexi Well, you will find that they are all related."

"The reason for the reduction of Azkaban guards is that it is not good for people's mental health. Alexis, listen, listen, this kind of lame and ridiculous proposal has been passed. I was thinking that maybe I should also propose it." One proposal is called 'If the debtor is unable to repay the debt, the debt will be borne by the creditor himself'."

"A large amount of gold Galleons, as well as antiques, jewelry and various trinkets have been taken away from Gringotts recently. Their whereabouts are unknown. Alexis, if it were you, what would you think of?"

"The Ministry of Magic, God, yes, that's right, the Ministry of Magic, under the guidance of that idiot minister, the Ministry of Magic has successfully turned into a mess. If a war really breaks out one day, I think they may still be there until the end of the war. No reaction. Bureaucracy! Bureaucracy!!!”

"Werewolves, giants in the north, and vampires, their cases are exactly the same. Alexis, the Yorkshire tragedy in England, is happening in other places, but other ministries of magic are not as incompetent as the British Ministry of Magic. Yes, they Although they also advocate bureaucracy, they are not as bureaucratic as the British Ministry of Magic, and they suppress the information."

"And your adoptive father. His men are plotting something, and they have been moving very frequently recently. As a friendly reminder, their actions have attracted the attention of the Wizengamot. If this is your adoptive father's instruction, you'd better warn him. , don’t mess around. His every move is under the watchful eye of the Wizengamot.”

"Alexis, the war is coming. I have to leave. This is the last letter. I think the value of this news should be worth at least one hundred thousand galleons. The extra seventy thousand will be considered as interest. Now we two Cleared, bye

! ”

Alexis held the note, dumbfounded.

Alexis did not go back to question the authenticity of the information collected by Mundungus. His guess was open to question. As for the fact that he refused to pay back the money he owed and packed up his luggage and ran away, Alexis felt that this was Said, said.

He asked Mundungus to ask for information, and he was paid every time. He always paid readily and would not bargain with Mundungus.

But this time Mundungus said that the pile of junk in front of him was worth a hundred thousand galleons, and Alexis felt that he had to go to Mundungus to talk about "values".

Alexis pulled out a special envelope and handed it to Horn after writing.

"Send it to Mundungus and tell him if Sirius Black doesn't see him by Christmas, he's screwed!"

Horn tilted his head and stared at Alexis for a while, then spread his wings and flew away.

Apparently, he didn't understand why Alexis was so angry.

After sending Horn away, Alexis picked up the trash can, picked out the discarded notes and cloth, and pasted the corresponding locations on the map one by one.

Taking two steps back, Alexis suddenly realized that Mundungus' statement was not unreasonable.

Judging from the map, there have been a lot of things happening in the wizarding world recently.

But the strange thing is that the newspapers have been reporting on Sirius Black's escape from prison, or they have repeatedly mentioned the past of the four of them, without mentioning a word about the giant's riot. As for vampire, even the word vampire cannot be found. .

It was as if the world's media had gone blind, which gave Alexis a strange sense of disconnection, as if the things mentioned in Mundungus' letter happened in another world and were not relevant to them.

……

Alexis worked in the office for so long that he almost missed his afternoon class.

It wasn't until the last minute before class that Alexis hurried into the classroom with the lesson plan under his arm.

The classroom was as quiet as ever.

Whatever is happening in the wizarding world, it does seem far away to the students at Hogwarts.

For fifth grade students, it is even further away.

The time has entered late November, half of this semester has passed, and there are still three-quarters of the end of this school year.The fifth grade wizards are about to face the OWL exam, which makes them extremely nervous.

The return of Voldemort, the massacre in Yorkshire that started a trend of lowering the status of werewolves, and the Ministry of Magic's announcement to reduce funding for education are all clouds to them. Apart from studying, the only effective information in their lives is the Quidditch game.

That was the only opportunity that allowed them to temporarily forget about the OWL exam, relax a little, and feel like they were still alive.

Potions class is obviously not a Quidditch pitch. Mr. Alexis is neither a referee nor a seeker. They have gone through the history of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. Mr. Alexis is not even a Quidditch pitch. Divination enthusiast.

Many of the fifth grade wizards among them even regretted taking the Potion course.

Alexis stood on the podium and looked down. Although the classroom discipline was good, the listless and half-dead look of the little wizards made him have little desire to lecture.

"Brace yourself, ladies and gentlemen."

Alexis clapped her hands and walked out of the podium.

"Have you tried the method I introduced to you last time?"

Alexis was talking about how to cope with the OWL exam when he first taught fifth grade students.

He suggested that you can directly look for questions from previous years' OWL exams and review them in a targeted manner. This can save a lot of time just to cope with the exam.

There was a sparse response in the classroom.

Even the sixth and seventh grade students were not very enthusiastic.

Although they do not have the OWL exam, they do have the higher-level NEWT exam.

In fact, most of the classes taken by sixth- and seventh-grade students were courses that required sufficient grades for advanced studies after passing the OWL exam. This was the first time they had seen a weird course like pharmacy that could be taken by any grade.

"I have good news for you."

Alexis said with a smile.

"A few days ago, we communicated with the Ministry of Magic. The Ministry of Magic is considering adding Pharmacy to the OWL and NEWT exams."

"If this proposal is passed, we will meet with you during exam week in June this year. Are you looking forward to it?"

I'm looking forward to your sister!

There was a cry in the classroom.

"Since everyone's emotions are so high, why not let's try a mock exam today."

Alexis pulled out a test paper from the lesson plan - this was the final exam question he had prepared long ago - regardless of the students' wails and prayers, he waved his magic wand -

"Copy in pairs!"

The test paper shook violently, then split into two in the desperate eyes of the students, two became four, four became eight, and was quickly copied into a stack of test papers.
