Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

Saying goodbye to Claire, Alexis went straight to the Ministry of Magic.

He came out of Nurmengard and did not go straight to Hogwarts. Instead, he came to London. The main purpose was to meet Rufus and understand where the situation had developed.

Besides, he and Rufus are old acquaintances. Now Rufus is acting for the British Ministry of Magic. He is about to become a full-time official and become the Minister of Magic. This is a promotion. After that, he will seek advancement in the international community.

As a matter of course, it was time for Alexis to come and see Rufus.

Alexis walked into the Ministry of Magic. It was still daytime and the Ministry of Magic building was full of people. Alexis immediately attracted people's attention when he appeared.As soon as he entered the door, he was surrounded by everyone who came after hearing the news.

Defeating Voldemort head-on and nipping the conspiracy of the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters in the cradle, this title is enough to make him a celebrity.

Coupled with a month of continuous media coverage, Alexis is almost considered a legend.

People rushed forward, wanting to get closer to the legend.

Alexis had never seen this battle before, and he was so frightened that he retreated continuously.

But people didn't give him a chance at all. Soon, even his retreat was blocked by the crowd.

……

When Alexis finally got rid of the enthusiastic crowd and arrived at the minister's office, he heard a familiar roar coming from inside before he even entered.

"I disagree!"

"The Ministry of Magic is not a prison! These damn Death Eaters must be moved away as soon as possible!"

"Oh my God! Do the people in the Wizengamot have slugs in their heads! They should really come here and take a look! The Ministry of Magic is almost becoming a gathering place for Death Eaters!"

Alexis pushed open the door and walked in just in time to see Rufus sitting there, angrily yelling at the pink cutie.

Seeing Alexis entering the door, Rufus's eyes widened, and coupled with his flushed face, he looked like an angry bull.

Rufus waved the pink cutie away and sighed heavily.

Alexis closed the door smoothly, smiled, opened her arms, and gave Rufus a hug.

"Dear old friend."

The two separated, and Rufus stood up and brought Alexis a cup of black tea, and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"

Rufus has always been serious, and his appearance is a bit serious and old-fashioned, which makes his smile a bit stiff and looks like a fake smile.

"Let me see you." Alexis took a sip of black tea. "I heard that you are going to officially become the Minister of Magic."

"Congratulations!"

The smile on Rufus' face faltered, and after a moment of silence, he said again, "Thank you."

He seemed to want to say something, and the pink cutie pushed open the door again, holding some documents and handing them to Rufus.

Rufus gave Alexis an apologetic look and lowered his head to flip through the documents.

Umbridge looked at Alexis, her eyes so bright that Alexis trembled all over.

"Shit!"

Rufus cursed under his breath, signed, handed the document to Umbridge, and sighed heavily after Umbridge left.

"Alexis, my dear old friend, if it were possible, I really wish we could switch."

He couldn't help complaining, "I really should let you see it. I bet you won't believe that there are such stupid people in this world."

"The Wizengamot has been unwilling to open a court to try the Death Eaters. Those Death Eaters can only be temporarily detained in the Ministry of Magic. Now the Auror Command has almost become a Death Eater club!"

"And even if they are tried, their whereabouts are still a problem. Azkaban has been destroyed, and we have no new prisons to hold prisoners at all. All the prisoners captured by the Auror Command during this period will stay here. If this continues , the Ministry of Magic is almost turning into a prison!"

"And those congressmen, I really want to use Legilimency on them to see what they are thinking and why they refuse to approve the reconstruction of the prison!"

Valley</span> "There are also those dementors, they are everywhere in Europe. The Ministry of Magic in France and Germany sends letters of protest every day, asking us to solve the problem as soon as possible."

"Oh my god! Why don't they deal with it! We didn't release the dementors!"

"and also……"

Rufus seemed to have finally found an outlet, complaining endlessly to Alexis, complaining that the Wizengamot councilors had their brains full of slugs, and that the people in the International Federation of Wizards had their brains eaten away by the Winged Demon.

This kind of Rufus is completely different from Alexis's impression of him.This made Alexis feel a little awkward.

He was not good at comforting people - it was enough for him to quarrel with others. At this time, he could only listen to Rufus's complaints honestly and remain silent.

Rufus complained endlessly for more than an hour, as if he had vented all the depression and grievance he had been feeling recently. This made him feel relaxed and energetic.

"Alexis, my dear old friend, what are your plans for the future?"

Rufus took a sip of tea, looked at Alexis and asked.

"Perhaps you should come and help me," he said. "How about the Head of Auror Command?"

Alexis shook his head, and Rufus asked further, "Or why don't you just become the minister."

"I'm just fed up with their stupidity. I really don't understand how Mr. Fudge manages to live in harmony with them. I just want to pry open their heads and give each of them the Imperius Curse."

"That won't work, Rufus, I have to go back to Hogwarts, you know, I'm a professor at Hogwarts now."

"Alexis." Rufus leaned forward with a smile on his face, but his eyes were staring at Alexis seriously. "You are the one who defeated the mysterious man. You are the hero of the entire magical world."

"Maybe you still don't understand what this means. But I hope you can know that if you want to, no one will object, not even me, and I will be happy to help you."

Alexis smiled and shook her head, rejecting Rufus' offer.

Are you kidding me, being the Minister of Magic?

Listening to what Rufus just complained about, Rufus just wanted to use the Imperius Curse on them. If it were him, he would have already used the Imperius Curse by now.

Rufus sat back and shrugged regretfully, "Okay. I knew you were like this."

Alexis couldn't help but take another look at Rufus. He always felt that Rufus was a little weird.

Maybe it's too much pressure?

Alexis didn't think much, he instead said, "I heard some rumors, it seemed like something was going to happen."

Rufus had no reaction to this. He filled himself another cup of tea, nodded and said, "Yes, the dementors are running around, and the Death Eaters are also taking the opportunity to cause trouble. With so many prisoners, they can only suppress the Auror headquarters." , there is something wrong with St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies... It has happened, Alexis."

"Maybe you really should come and help me, don't you?"

Alexis shook her head and refused again.

Rufus breathed a sigh of relief and didn't mention it again.

The two talked for a while, and although the content and the parties involved were no different from before, the atmosphere in the office always made Alexis feel awkward.

After the pink Umbridge interrupted their conversation by delivering documents for the eighth time, Alexis stood up and left.

"I came to London this time mainly to congratulate you, Rufus. I'm going back to Hogwarts. If I don't go back, it's time for Dumbledore to come over and take me back."

"Haha! How could it be possible? You are the one who defeated the mysterious man!"

Rufus stood up and hugged Alexis goodbye.

"Goodbye, my dear old friend."

"Goodbye."
