Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

When Fudge came to Hogwarts, Alexis heard a scary story and learned that many things were happening in the outside world.But it seemed like nothing happened.

The atmosphere in Hogwarts is still peaceful, the fifth-year students are still nervous, the first-, second- and third-year wizards are still talking and laughing, it is still snowing in the sky, and the temperature is still dropping.

It seemed like something happened, but it didn't seem to happen completely.

This strong contrast made Alexis particularly uncomfortable. He began to lose concentration, became anxious, and his hair even began to fall down.

This made him very uneasy.

He has been traveling around the world for ten years and still can't get rid of the tradition of hair loss? ! ! !

This caused him to grow angry when he caught Malfoy talking in class - even when it was Harry he was talking to.

"You can come to my house for Christmas—I mean, my father, Mr. Lucius, invites you to spend Christmas at my house."

Malfoy took advantage of Alexis not paying attention, covered himself with a book, and whispered to Harry beside him.

When he said this, his face turned red to the root of his neck, and the top of his head was about to smoke.

After Malfoy asked, he looked at Harry with an anxious look on his face - he paid a month's pocket money to move to a seat closer to Harry!

What if he refuses?

Isn’t my pocket money wasted in vain?

With this thought in mind, Malfoy glanced behind him and saw Ron, who was smiling diagonally behind him, grinning from ear to ear. He felt even more that he had lost money on this deal.

"Thank you, but I have already promised Mr. Alexis."

Harry said politely but distantly.

Recently, due to Malfoy's persistent pursuit, their relationship has eased. Although it is not as good as Ron and Hermione, it is at least at the level of ordinary classmates.

When Malfoy heard this, his heart went cold. He turned around and glared at the cheerful Ron, and was about to say something.

"Mr. Draco Malfoy."

Alexis's voice sounded above the two of them, which completely chilled the remaining warm heart of Malfoy.

It's cold, so cold.

"And Mr. Harry Potter."

"If you have any little secrets, tell me and share them with everyone!"

Alexis stood in front of the two people and said seriously.

Harry and Malfoy lowered their heads silently and refused to speak.Harry even glanced at Malfoy secretly——

If Malfoy hadn't been talking to him, he would still be listening intently.

Harry thought.

Malfoy felt wronged.

Didn't you ask me to get closer to them?Didn't you ask me to get along with them?Why are you turning your back on me now?

And Harry, how could you do this!I feel sorry for you, so I kindly invite you to my house for Christmas!Do you have any idea how many people want to come to my house every year but can't?

And that Ron!laugh!You just know how to laugh!You took my month's pocket money, why are you laughing!

As expected, the only one among these three people is this one - a Muggle born who is quite normal.

Malfoy glanced at Hermione, who was sitting upright and not squinting, and felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Two purebloods and one Muggle, after such a comparison, it turns out that Muggles are the most loyal!

This made Malfoy, who had always been proud of his pure blood, feel even more uncomfortable.

"It seems that you two don't want everyone to know the little secret between you two."

Alexis' voice came from above.

"In that case, you two might prefer to come to my office and let's have a good talk."

The devil is going to your office!Ghosts like it!

"Okay, Mr. Alexis."

Alexis nodded with satisfaction.

……

After class, Malfoy and Harry followed Alexis to his office.

Further behind them, the sneaky figures of Hermione and Ron fell far behind.

Alexis opened the door and walked into the office, took off his windbreaker, opened the drawer and prepared to open a bottle of mead, but found nothing.

Closing the drawer angrily, Alexis glanced around the room and sighed.

"sit down."

Alexis pointed to the chairs and asked the two of them to sit down.

Today is December [-]th, less than two weeks before Christmas, and two weeks since I heard that the time turner was stolen.

The past two weeks had been uneventful, and those people seemed to be preparing to take action on Christmas Day just as Dumbledore had guessed.

Also calm was the reply from Nurmengard.

He told the whole story, and finally said apologetically that Grindelwald's Christmas dinner might have to be postponed.It was so eloquent that I wrote more than ten pages!

As a result, Grindelwald’s letter didn’t even fill a single page!He just said "I know" lightly about him not going back for Christmas!

What does it mean to know? ? ? ! ! !

"What were you two talking about during class?"

"I invited him to my house for Christmas."

The two little guys were silent, you looked at me, I looked at you, and finally Malfoy had to take the initiative to speak.

Alexis turned her gaze to Harry.

"I declined his invitation." Harry whispered, "I have promised you before."

Alexis nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that he was still popular!

"Harry, I'm sorry. I have something to do on Christmas Day and have to go to Azkaban. I'm afraid I won't be able to take you to Nurmengard for Christmas."

Malfoy and Harry raised their heads together and looked at Alexis with wide eyes.

Then, Harry nodded with some disappointment and lowered his head again.

Malfoy still stared at Alexis.

You took him to Nurmengard without you! ! !

So you are such Alexis!

"ok, I get it."

Harry said disappointedly.

"Maybe you could go to Ron's house, or Malfoy's house."

Alexis suggested somewhat reluctantly.

"Come to my house. The Weasley family is so poor that they can hardly afford to eat. Their house is dirty and messy. Come to my house and I can take you skiing. My dad will also prepare Christmas gifts for us!"

Malfoy's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Harry glared at Malfoy.This made Malfoy a little aggrieved. He didn't understand why Harry always refused even though he really wanted to be friends with him.

"Our house is big, bigger than the Weasley house. We also have a lawn. We can build snowmen-"

Malfoy stammered, still making a last ditch effort.

Unfortunately, his efforts were not in the right place.

Harry was even more disappointed with him - the boredom that had been disappearing of late had resurfaced.

Harry gave Malfoy a disgusted look, stood up and said, "Mr. Alexis, if there's nothing else, I'm going to class."

After getting a nod of agreement from Alexis, Harry left the office.

Malfoy looked at Harry's leaving figure with a blank expression, turned around, and looked at Alexis for help.

What did I do wrong?Why is he so angry?Didn’t Alexis punish us?It was Alexis who promised to take you to Nurmengard for Christmas and then reneged on it, not me. Why are you angry at me?
