Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

Phineas was like a duck being pinched by the neck, and his laughter stopped abruptly.

Phineas Nigellus Black, one of the many headmasters of Hogwarts, and Sirius Black is his great-great-grandson. 【Note 1】

Sirius Black didn't have a good opinion of his grandfather's father. Of course, he almost never had a good opinion of the Black family.

But Alexis felt that Phineas was actually quite good, except for his vicious mouth, his unpleasant personality, his passion for pure bloods and his dislike for Muggle-born wizards.

Phineas was one of the few people who was willing to listen to him and argue with him at any time.Others always appear as elders and say what elders should say, but only Phineas appears as an elder and says things that may even be childish than him.

Of course, Alexis only said this to scare Phineas.

Ever since Phineas learned that Alexis and Sirius Black had become friends, especially that Sirius Black did things without thinking and almost obeyed Alexis's words, he had been avoiding Alexis because he was afraid He was pinched by Alexis because his great-great-grandson was in the hands of Alexis.

This time when I heard Alexis’ embarrassing story, I couldn’t bear it any longer, and ended up being caught red-handed.

"You little bastard!" Phineas reacted and roared at Alexis.

"You can't do this! That idiot is your friend! You can't do this!"

"No, I guess I can, if you keep laughing at me."

Alexis has Sirius Black in hand, so it can be said that she is sure of victory.

Phineas fell silent and angrily disappeared from the frame.

Dumbledore smiled and waited patiently for Alexis to talk to the portraits one by one before continuing to speak.

"This will arouse their curiosity. In fact, they have always been curious about what is in the Forbidden Forest. However, due to school rules, most people dare not step out of this line. Now you have given them greater curiosity."

"Can you tell me why?"

After a slight pause, Dumbledore continued to ask.

"Last time in the Chamber of Secrets, I found that Harry's combat awareness was almost zero, and his sensitivity to danger was insufficient. If he faced Quirrell who wanted to kill him, it would be almost impossible for me to have a chance to save him. he."

"He wouldn't even last two rounds at Quirrell's hands."

"This is just Quirrell."

Alexis was not deeply impressed by Quirrell, but he was quite impressed by the "blackened" Quirrell. In his opinion, whether he was blackened or not, Quirrell was just a giant in theory and a dwarf in practice. .

There were so many flaws in his spells that Alexis could have taken him down more easily if Voldemort hadn't possessed him to help him.

"Harry is only in the first year. He hasn't even finished the first year. Alexis, you have to be patient." Dumbledore advised, "He didn't even know the wand three months ago."

In fact, Dumbledore also wanted to say: Think about it, didn't you behave like this when you were this age?

But before he said it, he thought about it carefully and decided not to say it.

What is 11-year-old Alexis doing?

He got into fights, stole alcohol (actually under the cover of Aberforth) and made trouble. He used magic spells to fight, not only beating students in the same grade, but also challenging senior students. If he couldn't beat the magic spells, he would use those weird and strange things. If you still can't beat the herbs, just use your fists and teeth...

Thinking of Alexis at that age, Dumbledore had a headache.

"Voldemort has returned, and Harry must learn how to fight as soon as possible."

Alexis mentioned Voldemort's name without hesitation. Fortunately, the people and portraits here were not ordinary wizards. What he did only caused a brief commotion, which soon subsided - the portraits were very disappointed with Alexis's boldness. I'm already used to it.

Dumbledore looked at Alexis, hesitant to speak, and finally chose to remain silent.After a long silence, Dumbledore said slowly:

"Anyway, Alex, the Forbidden Forest has begun to arouse the curiosity of the children, and the school rules can no longer restrain them."

"This week, Hagrid brought back eighteen students from the edge of the Forbidden Forest."

"Where are Harry and the others?" Alexis asked, "Have Harry and the others been to the Forbidden Forest?"

Dumbledore shook his head, which disappointed Alexis.

"Why didn't you say a word when Fudge came? He wanted to take Lupin away!"

Alexis suddenly changed the subject.

"But you handled it well, didn't you?"

Dumbledore said with a smile and a wink.

Alexis snorted, he always felt that something was wrong. It was true that he handled it well, but it seemed that things should not be like this...

"But he's taking Lupin away."

Alexis insisted.

"But Lupine is still at Hogwarts, isn't he?"

"He's taking Lupine away!"

"He came for Hogwarts, and he came for you."

Dumbledore glanced at Alexis, with a strange look in his eyes. He picked up the cup and took a big sip of soda, and continued to ask in a slow tone.

"Have you made peace with Snape?"

Alexis was caught off guard by this question. He was stunned for a moment, then put down the ornament in his hand to correct Dumbledore's statement.

"We just reached a consensus, that's not called reconciliation."

"I just didn't get along with him."

"I really don't understand why he hates me so much."

Alexis muttered disapprovingly.

"Alex."

When talking about this issue, Dumbledore had to put down his cup, straighten his body, and said seriously

"We have discussed this issue. If someone treats you like this-"

"Your assumption is not valid. No one would dare to treat me like that."

Before Dumbledore could finish speaking, Alexis spoke first.

"Well, if someone treated Harry like that, do you think it would have a lifelong impact on Harry, without your help?"

Alexis imagined for a while and replaced Snape with Harry. Naturally, they were replaced by Malfoy. She imagined Harry being hung up, taking off his pants, and showing his teeth...

"No." Alexis shook her head. "I think Harry will teach them a lesson instead of hiding away and crying."

Dumbledore looked at Alexis without speaking, and looked at the confusion and reason in his eyes. Dumbledore sighed softly, and couldn't help complaining about Grindelwald in his heart.

In his opinion, Alexis's arrogant character was developed by Grindelwald.Not only did Grindelwald not stop it, but he "fanned the flames" and "added fuel to the flames", making Alexis think this was right.

How can such a person become a strong person if he has lacked sympathy and compassion for the weak since he was a child?

Dumbledore was worried.

Thinking of Grindelwald taking it for granted, as if the whole world should just let Alexis go, Dumbledore felt like he wanted to fly to Nurmengard, grab Grindelwald by the neck and shake him awake, letting him wake up. He listened carefully to what Alexis had to say.
