Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

Fudge left with his men. Ever since he took the risk, the conversation in the room had been under his control, and even Alexis didn't interrupt him again.

Everyone in the room - including the portraits - looked at Fudge talking, his face turned red due to emotion, and spittle flew everywhere.

But no one interrupted him, including Alexis. Everyone felt that although Fudge at this time did not have the calmness of a politician, he was more realistic.

Although he still had reservations about what he said, everyone believed that what he said was true.

Finally, Dumbledore sent them out the door. Standing at the door, Dumbledore said meaningfully, "Minister Fudge, you will be a qualified minister."

In response to these words, Fudge just waved his hand and hurried away with "cutie" and Rufus.

In the principal's office, Alexis was sitting on the chair where Fudge had sat, with his legs hanging on the edge of the table, chatting with the portrait of the principal.

"Boy, you are so awesome!"

Phineas didn't know what stupid thing he had done again. At this time, he was covered in thatch and the hat on his head was crooked. He was squeezed into a portrait with Ms. Derwent. As a result, he just gave a thumbs up. Squeezed out by Ms. Derwent.

"Little Alex, it's rude for you to treat Minister Fudge like this."

Ms. Derwent said gently.

Delise Devont was a healer who left St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies and came to Hogwarts to serve as the Headmistress of Hogwarts.

This is a gentle lady.

Alexis nodded perfunctorily, tilting his head back and looking at the portrait on the wall behind him - since he was leaning back, in his eyes the people in the portrait were all upside down.

"Boy, don't listen to her, you are right to do this." Phineas finally returned to his photo frame. He was picking the thatch on his body and retorted while picking.

"Fudge teamed up with Fenrir to attack Dumbledore, and wanted to incite public opinion by slandering Lupine as a werewolf and make parents worry about education at Hogwarts, thereby ousting Dumbledore. "

"But after you resolved this matter, he wants to drain Fenrir's remaining value again - Merlin, how come there are so many damn thatches!!!"

"But Fenrir tricked him."

"This damn thatch - I think he is planning to use Fenrir to restrain Rufus. You and Rufus have a good relationship. You should know that that guy is not to Fudge's taste."

"What he likes is the little pink cake next to him."

"Phineas, your taste is really outdated and tacky!"

Ms. Devont couldn't help but frowned and retorted, and she threw back the thatch ball thrown by Phineas.

The thatched ball arced through the air and finally landed in Phineas' hat.

"Damn woman!"

Phineas shouted angrily, but he didn't dare to take any action. He could only pick out the thatch ball, stepped on it hard, and continued.

"But Fenrir has been prepared for a long time. Fudge thought he had everything under control, but he didn't expect that he didn't have control over anything. Instead, he got himself involved."

"You're telling me that Fudge didn't actually know that Fenrir would steal the Time-Turner?"

Phineas sat on the ground and began to pick the thatch from his legs. Hearing this, he raised his head and shrugged.

"Obvious thing."

"Fudge has only been in office for a short time, and Rufus is a strong man. Fudge must not have reached into the Auror headquarters yet, otherwise he would have no need to plan Fenrir's capture."

"I think Fudge's original intention was to ask the little cake next to him to let Fenrir go, causing the Auror Department to fail in its duties, so as to interfere with the Auror Command."

"Your connection with Lucius made him feel threatened, and he began to realize that the pure-blood family was unreliable."

"You also know that pure-blood families are unreliable?" Alexis looked at Phineas with wide eyes.

This was completely unlike what Phineas said. If Phineas hadn't been just a painting, he would have suspected that Phineas had been snatched away.

"It's not important." Phineas waved his hand and continued, "This is completely contradictory. Because Fenrir's escape is enough to prove the negligence of Rufus and even the entire Auror Department, making it easier for him to intervene in the Auror Department." Luo Bu. There is absolutely no need for him to joke about the time turner."

Seeing Alexis's doubtful expression, Phineas became rarely serious. He stood up, ignored the remaining thatch, and said seriously

"Alexis, little one, listen to me."

"You can be prejudiced against anyone and anything. You can look down on Fudge, look down on us, and even hate Severus and Dumbledore."

"But when you think about it, you have to put aside your prejudices."

“Only by letting go of your prejudices can you see the truth of the matter.”

"Little guy, don't be blinded by prejudice."

Alexis pursed her lips and said nothing.

"So, Fudge knew that Fenrir would escape, but Fenrir also planned to steal the time turner behind Fudge's back."

"Because the one who let Fenrir go was an Auror. Fudge is not yet capable of intervening in the Auror Department."

Phineas didn't pay attention to Alexis' silence. He finished his analysis completely, then sat on the ground and continued to pick thatch from his body.

Alexis thought along Phineas's train of thought and felt that what Phineas said made sense.

Fudge obviously couldn't get involved in the Auror Department, and Umbridge obviously couldn't continue to lie in front of the time turner. What she said about "an Auror teaming up with Fenrir to knock her out" was very likely. Really.

After all this calculation, someone who has the ability to place an internal agent in the Auror Department may be the real culprit behind the theft of the Time Turner!

"Alex, what do you think about this?"

Dumbledore asked as he walked into the headmaster's office.

Alexis told Phineas's guess. Dumbledore paused in packing the documents and looked at him in surprise.

"This is Phineas's speculation, and I think it makes sense."

Alexis was unusually shy and said quickly.

Dumbledore nodded and put the grant documents in the drawer.

"So who do you think it could be?"

Tom Riddle's name immediately popped into Alexis' mind.

"Voldemort!"

Alexis blurted out.

"After failing to steal the Philosopher's Stone, he most likely wanted to use the time turner to obtain the Philosopher's Stone."

Alexis said this and looked at Dumbledore.

"After I returned it to Nicoléme, he decided to destroy the Philosopher's Stone."

Dumbledore seemed to know what Alexis wanted to ask and said directly.

"The Philosopher's Stone is destroyed. Voldemort's only way to get the Philosopher's Stone is with a time turner."

Dumbledore nodded, and he pulled out a class schedule, which recorded all the work for the rest of the semester, including courses, exams, holidays, activities, etc.

After staring at the list for a while, Dumbledore put the list back into the drawer and said

"Alex, I'm afraid you won't be able to return to Nurmengard during the Christmas vacation."
