Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

Hogwarts, Headmaster's Office.

Dumbledore looked at the still warm fireplace and remained silent.

In the portrait on the wall, Phineas wandered off somewhere again, and his clothes were once again stained with thatch, forcing him to sit on the ground and continue picking thatch.

"Dumbledore, I must remind you that you are indulging Alexis."

"He is completely incapable of dealing with a large group of people, especially Death Eaters. Not to mention he took the 'Savior' away."

"Ha! Dumbledore, the boy wonder, the boy Harry Potter who saves the world, will get him killed if he does this!"

Dumbledore's eyes rolled slowly and moved from the fireplace to Phineas. After a moment of pause, he turned around and came to the table. When he saw the gift, his eyes lit up.

He opened the gift slowly and took out a few pairs of exquisitely made wool socks with simple patterns woven on them. At the sock tube, there was a mass of black, so black that it was hard to tell what it was. logo.

At the bottom of the box is a card.

"To dear Dumbledore

Merry Chrismas"

"Oh! My little Alex, he's so sweet."

Dumbledore held the wool socks and laughed happily, just like a child who got jelly beans.

This made the thatching Phineas roll his eyes.

"Come on, Dumbledore, it's wool socks every year. He's almost contracting your wool socks for the next few decades."

Phineas debunks reality mercilessly.

Dumbledore didn't care. He shook the wool socks in his hand triumphantly, his eyes turning into crescent moons as he smiled.

"This is the gift I wanted most, Phineas. I saw the wool socks in the Mirror of Erised last night, and lo and behold, today it really came true."

"I really don't understand, Dumbledore, why you agreed to Alexis' stupid suggestion?"

Phineas wisely brought the topic back to Dumbledore rather than argue about the wool socks.

He knew that even if Alexis sent a piece of bird poop, Dumbledore would be able to find a way to make up a reason why he liked it.

damn it!Who doesn’t have any offspring yet?

Phineas murmured in his heart: There is only one day left, it's Christmas, will that idiot from the Black family come to see him?

"Phineas, I have my own thoughts."

Dumbledore put away the wool socks, collected the garbage on the table, and said softly

"Alexis is already growing up."

"If he can successfully get back the time turner this time, he will prove to the world how powerful he is."

"If he fails this time, he will learn from his failure, learn to respect his opponents, and learn solutions other than force."

"Growth is slow without painful experience. Phineas."

"Besides, I promised Alex that I would not meddle in his affairs at will."

"This matter is his business. I will not meddle in it and question his decision."

"He has to learn to take responsibility for every decision he makes, and that's going to be even harder in the future."

Phineas's picking of thatch paused. His complaints about Sirius Black had disappeared from his mind. At this moment, his mind was filled with what Dumbledore said.

"you--"

Phineas raised his head in shock and looked at Dumbledore.

"You're actually willing to sacrifice that magical 'savior' boy??!!!"

Phineas exclaimed.

"What are you thinking?"

Dumbledore looked back at Phineas.

"I won't do it."

Phineas looked at Dumbledore carefully, he was a little unsure.

It seems that Dumbledore's expression is sincere, and he should be telling the truth, but he has been hanging on the wall of the principal's office for almost a century, and has been with Dumbledore for half a century. He thinks he understands Dumbledore fairly well. Bullido.

Dumbledore is not what everyone sees. He is a scheming old wizard. He possesses powerful magic and amazing charm. At the same time, he also manages his reputation very well.

Phineas felt that except for the old madman who had volunteered to be imprisoned on Nurmengard, almost no one really understood what Dumbledore was thinking.

It's really scary to see an old wizard who looks kind and upright, but you can't figure out what he's thinking.

This is a person who is inextricably related to the two Dark Lords before and after him. Who knows if he is the person behind the two Dark Lords?

Maybe this is how he eliminates opponents, eliminates dissidents, and builds his own reputation!

Phineas was startled by his own thoughts, and then glanced at Dumbledore in horror.

I know such an important secret, what if I am silenced?

Phineas rubbed the thatch in his hands uneasily and twisted in place.

Dumbledore had no idea what Phineas was thinking. He carefully put away the trash and sat back down.He dug out a piece of candy from the drawer and put it into his mouth to taste it carefully. The sweetness of the candy made him squint his eyes comfortably.

"Phineas, you-"

"I still have something to do. I remembered. I want to go to the Black Mansion to visit. I'm leaving first. Bye."

Phineas was like a frightened rabbit. After saying this sentence very quickly, he ran away and disappeared.

Dumbledore blinked and looked at the empty photo frame in front of him with confusion. He wondered if he was hallucinating.

…………

Azkaban.

At this time, Azkaban was eerily quiet, and the guards had long since disappeared. Only two people, a man and a woman, greeted Alexis and Harry in the prison.

"Christy, Blake—"

Alexis was just about to say hello, but Blake, who was greeting them with a smile, changed his expression after seeing Harry. He rushed up angrily and punched Alexis in the face.

"Are you crazy?!!"

Alexis held her nose and shouted in disbelief.

Christie, who was immersed in the eight o'clock plot in her mind, also came to her senses and quickly stepped forward to support Alexis. She looked at the scratched area on his face and felt heartbroken.

Sirius Black pulled Harry to him and shouted to Alexis

"You're the one who's crazy! You lunatic!"

"He is so young, how could you bring him here!"

"I think your mind was really hollowed out by Snape's potion. First you formed an alliance with Lucius, and now you bring James's child to a place like this. Alexis, you are really crazy. !”

"Am I crazy?" Alexis pushed Christie away and took a step forward to confront Blake without fear. "Why am I crazy?"

"Lucius and Tom Riddle can use it, why can't I?"

"When we were his age, we started going in and out of the Forbidden Forest. The Forbidden Forest, Sirius Black, that's the Forbidden Forest."
