Hogwarts Asylum

In the trophy display room, Seamus whistled and said: "As expected of Gryffindor's enemy, every time the record is set is in the Quidditch match against Gryffindor. The fastest time is 3 minutes and 48 seconds. Live the Golden Snitch, is this something a student can do? The Gryffindor Quidditch team must have had a miserable time in those years."

"Don't forget, we are also Gryffindor!" Ron rolled his eyes.

Seeing the two of them discussing the honors Professor O'Loughlin had received, Neville once again pointed to Professor O'Loughlin's full name and said, "Don't you think this middle name is a bit strange?"

"Middle name?" Ron and Seamus were both confused, and they looked at Neville's finger again.

"Squiber," Seamus read out letter by letter, but still couldn't get the point, "is there anything strange about it?"

Neville hesitated and said, "Do you know how to spell 'squib'?"

"It seems to be a squib... Oh, Merlin's socks," Ron reacted and exclaimed, "How could any wizard be willing to call this name!"

"Maybe it refers to detonators, firecrackers and the like? I remember when I was in elementary school, this word was included in the slang I learned." Seamus scratched his head. He didn't know much about the meaning of squibs. After all, his His parents wouldn't mention this word in front of him all day long. They didn't even care about his magic talent. They didn't teach him any magic knowledge in advance, otherwise he wouldn't have an accident every time he cast a spell.

Seamus' words made Neville and Ron think deeply, which touched upon their blind spots in knowledge. After all, unlike Seamus, they had not attended Muggle primary school, so they only knew that the word "squib" meant squib.

Seeing that neither Ron nor Neville spoke, Seamus curiously asked: "What does squib mean?"

"It refers to people whose parents are wizards but have no magical talent." Neville said, "Before I received the admission notice from school, my uncle and grandma thought I was a squib, so I often heard this word."

"In the wizarding world, squibs are second-class citizens, and many wizards despise them." Ron added.

"No wonder you said that no wizard would accept this name." Seamus suddenly realized, and then he was a little confused, "But doesn't Slytherin only accept pure blood? At least it must be mixed blood, right? Does it also accept the descendants of Squibs?"

So what counts as a squib?wizard?Muggle? "

"Then I don't know. I've never heard anyone discuss this issue, at least not in my family." Now it was Ron's turn to scratch his head, "Neville, have you heard of it?"

Neville shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it either, but I remember my grandma said that if I fail to receive the admission notice to Hogwarts, I may be sent to the Muggle world unless I am willing to stay. Being a second-class citizen in the wizarding world.”

Ron said thoughtfully: "So maybe one of Professor O'Loughlin's parents is a wizard, and then he has an elder named Squibb? Just like me, my middle name is 'Bilius' From my uncle."

"Didn't it mean that no wizard is willing to accept this name? Then among Professor O'Loughlin's parents, the one who is a wizard should also know the meaning of this name..."

"Maybe it's sarcasm?" Ron's tone was very unsteady, "Forget it, it has nothing to do with us anyway, don't worry about it, just clean it up quickly, there are still so many medals and trophies that have not been wiped!"

……

In the Potions Professor's office, compared to Ron and the others, who had to work harder to clean, the five Slytherins who were also in confinement had it much easier. They were helping their dean put the materials for class into categories. .

At this time, Snape was teaching potions lessons to other years, so there were only five first years in the office.

Among the five people, Theodore was the only one who was not injured. He was obviously isolated in a corner by the other four people, but he did not feel any discomfort. He originally liked to be alone, and he had no intention of participating in that event yesterday. There was a chase, but he was forced to go because he was roommates with Goyle, Crabbe and Zabini.

There were only four people in a Slytherin dormitory, one more than Gryffindor. If Theodore didn't go, they would have to find another dormitory. This was not conducive to the unity of the dormitory, so at that time it was still Undecided, Theodore reluctantly joined.

Fortunately, there was a stupid guy in Gryffindor who didn't fly into the sky, so Theodore was able to fish in troubled waters on the ground. Otherwise, if he also rode on a broom and joined the battle group, Slytherin would have deducted more than 200 points. .

In the office, Goyle and Crabbe were discussing the next countermeasures. This time they failed, and they would have to wait and see the next time. They had given up on looking for trouble in the flying lesson.

After all, although they can ride on broomsticks and draw wands to cast spells, they are not as skilled as Draco. They can kill four people in one go. That is really scary. For a moment yesterday, they all thought they were going to be killed. I fell to my death, but fortunately I didn't fly too high at the time.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

There was a knock on the door of the office.

Except Theodore, the other four people looked at each other, and finally Zabini said: "Come in."

The door was opened, and the person who walked in was Gemma Farley, the prefect of Slytherin. Her long, cascading pale golden hair hung behind her school uniform that had been changed to a slim fit. Her face with light makeup revealed her arrogance. The first-year students in the office are a little uncomfortable. The appearance of this female prefect today is very different from the appearance when school first started.

After Gemma Farley looked around the office, she frowned and said, "Are you the ones who caused the college to be deducted 200 points?"

Her voice was as clear as a lark, but Gao Er and the others felt a little eerie for no reason.

"It has nothing to do with me, Miss Farley," Theodore in the corner said directly. "Mrs. Hooch said that those who fly in violation of regulations will be deducted 50 points."

"Theodore, you guy..." The other four first-year students glared at Theodore.

Theodore, who had made up his mind not to participate in boring fights anymore, shrugged nonchalantly, saying that what he said was the truth.Anyway, I am not afraid of them. If I want to take action against myself, I should first consider the risk of the family being attacked.

Although the Nott family has often encountered trouble in recent years, and even almost became the laughing stock of other top pure-blood families because their ancestral home was bombed, but after all, the status of the Nott family is still higher than that of Crabbe and the others. This is much higher than an ordinary pure-blood family.

Gemma Farley looked at this tense scene and frowned even more, but soon, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and quickly raised her hand to smooth her brow.

After putting down her hands, Gemma Farley said coldly: "Mr. O'Loughlin asked me to inform you that at seven o'clock tonight, all Slytherins must gather in the underground ceremonial hall on time."

After saying that, regardless of the reactions of the first-year students, Gemma Farley turned around and left, opened the door, stepped out, turned back, and said meaningfully: "By the way, if there are any latecomers... …I don’t think you want to know the consequences of disobedience.”

"Bang--" The door slammed shut.
