Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

"I need you to go to Azkaban with a few people."

"I have promised Grindelwald to have dinner with him on Christmas Day."

The time turner is important, but compared with family members, it seems not that important.

"He should also agree with my idea."

Dumbledore's mouth twitched and he said with an ugly expression.

Alexis was silent.

No wonder!

Both people in the room knew that Dumbledore was lying.

If Alexis said he wanted to blow up the moon, Grindelwald would agree, and he might even ask "Do you need any help?" If you tell me, he would give up the opportunity to share Christmas dinner with Alexis and agree to Alexis's request. Lexis went to that damn place in Azkaban on Christmas Eve?

What a joke!

If the time turner was stolen, what does it have to do with me, Grindelwald?I didn’t steal it!

After a brief, awkward silence, Alexis tried to break the awkwardness.

"Me?" he asked calmly. "Am I the only one who goes to Azkaban?"

Dumbledore shook his head, "Moody and Flitwick will go with you, as well as some Aurors."

Alexis nodded knowingly.

This was to let him guard against anyone rescuing the Death Eaters imprisoned in Azkaban.

If there’s any time in recent times that’s easiest to get started with, it’s Christmas.

In Alexis' view, Christmas is very similar to the Eastern festival called Spring Festival. People do not believe in Christianity, which does not prevent people from celebrating Christmas.

Christmas is a holiday, shops close early, families get together to prepare Christmas dinner, and everyone gathers around the table to enjoy Christmas food together, even in the UK.

This is the time when everyone is most relaxed. As long as the dementors outside Azkaban are eliminated, Voldemort's lackeys can easily release their kind.

Do not!

They didn't even need to deal with the dementors, they just needed to knock out a few guards, put on their clothes, pretend to be guards, and sneak in.

Apart from being sensitive to emotions, Dementors have almost zero IQ.

Even if the guards react - if there are still guards in Azkaban on Christmas Day - they will report it to the Ministry of Magic. The Ministry of Magic will react again and issue instructions to the Auror Department, and the Auror Department will assemble personnel - if they have not drank If you were drunk, you would have circled the earth three times.

Dumbledore is asking himself to make up for the loopholes of the unreliable Ministry of Magic!

"But... what should Grindelwald do?"

Alexis asked after she came to her senses.

"Maybe it can wait until next Christmas."

Dumbledore said expressionlessly.

"Okay, Alex, you should understand the importance of the time turner. This matter is related to the safety of the whole world. This is a more serious matter than the war more than ten years ago."

Alexis curled her lips. Voldemort more than ten years ago was probably not as dangerous as Grindelwald decades ago.

"Also, Alex, I have to remind you." Seeing Alexis about to leave, Dumbledore said, "You must make good use of the Unbreakable Vow."

"Are you so sure that they will attack on Christmas?" Alexis walked to the door and turned around after hearing this. "Aren't you worried that they will attack in the past 20 days?"

It was already the end of November, and there were nearly 30 days before Christmas. Alexis didn't know where Dumbledore got the confidence that Fin would steal the time turner until Christmas.

Dumbledore took out a very familiar small piece of paper and shook it.

"I've got a scoop, Alex."

Alexis looked too familiar. This style of casually tearing off a piece of cloth or a piece of paper to record information was unique to Mundungus!

He asked Horn to deliver a message to Mundungus. He didn't know what means Mundungus used, but Horn didn't find him. He thought that Mundungus was really going to "disappear".

"He is on the black market in Austria, preparing to make money to pay off your debt."

Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Well, you tell him that starting from today, no, starting from three years ago, interest began to be calculated on his debt from three years ago. He now owes me the principal plus interest, a total of 13 Galleons! 13!!!"

"It's best that when we meet next time, he has this much savings in Gringotts, or he finds treasures worth this much on the black market, otherwise I will sell him to Kakus!"

Karkus is the leader of a tribe of giants. Alexis has heard stories about Karkus from Dumbledore, but he has never seen it.

"I was serious!"

Alexis reiterated with a serious face.

Dumbledore was a little dumbfounded. He nodded and said repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I understand. I will convey it to you. Alex - well - Mr. Alexis stated that if Mundungus Unless the principal and interest are paid off at the next meeting, a total of 13 gold galleons, Mr. Alexis will sell Mundungus to the giant tribe."

In order to show that he listened carefully to Alexis's attitude, he also repeated Alexis's words.

Alexis nodded with satisfaction and left the principal's office with her head held high.

bang——

The office door was slammed.

Dumbledore unfolded the note and took a look at the words on it and the final signature:

"Sybil Patricia Trelawney"

Then he burned it to ashes and sat alone in his seat brooding.

"Dumbledore." Phineas suddenly looked up, "I don't think it's right to choose him."

Seeing Dumbledore looking over, Phineas patted the non-existent dust on his body and continued.

"Although we grew up watching him."

"Alexis Felix, yes, little Alexis, a true magical genius, a genius that is rare in the wizarding world for thousands of years."

"He is indeed a genius, and we all like him, but he is not suitable to succeed you and become the Headmaster of Hogwarts."

"Now that you are taking care of him, he can still complete many things in an orderly manner, but we cannot deny that little Alexis is reckless by nature."

"The position of Headmaster of Hogwarts requires too many things to consider, and he can't deal with it at all."

"I don't want him to become—"

"Tom Riddle?"

Dumbledore asked.

Phineas choked and did not continue.

This is the default.

He knew that Tom Riddle was a name that Dumbledore was reluctant to mention. For a long time, Dumbledore had believed that it was his own education that led a generation of geniuses to follow the path of the Dark Lord.

Of course, this is also the perception of most people, including Phineas.

"Alexis will not become Tom Riddle!" Dumbledore's wise eyes suddenly became sharp. "Absolutely not!"

Phineas avoided Dumbledore's gaze, shook his head and sighed.

"We are discussing things, Dumbledore, and you can't bring your personal emotions into it."

"He will inherit everything from me and Gellert." Dumbledore stood up straight and said seriously, "He will become the leader of the wizarding world and lead the wizarding world to prosperity!"

"Phineas, don't try to influence my judgment with words. Pure-blood families are also members of the wizarding world."

"Alexis' bloodline will be purer than anyone else's!"
