The Necromancer of Hogwarts

Chapter 61 Squib on stage

The discussion about the treatment of squibs in the wizarding world has been going on for some time, but the popularity shows no sign of declining.

Several forces are involved in this ideological war.

Only then did the wizards in the magical world realize how great the differences in thinking between people can be.

Many people didn't understand the views of their relatives and friends on blood, human rights, freedom, and wizards themselves until this scolding war reached its climax.

"This big discussion will definitely leave a mark in the history of magic, because it made me see that there are so many mentally retarded people around me." A celebrity from high society said, "I think their brains are either It should be cut off, or it should be transformed by the Imperius Curse, otherwise it will be no different from a goblin."

Newspapers were printed like snowflakes all over the magical world, so it was inevitable that some squibs would see them.

……

Lisa was a squib who was abandoned by her family at the age of eleven.

She lived in seclusion in remote mountains and lived an extremely primitive life. She would only come out of her residence when she had no choice but to go to the nearby wizard market to exchange items.

In order to prevent others from knowing that she was a dumb person, she almost never spoke to outsiders. She would leave in a hurry every time she finished shopping, and she had almost forgotten how to speak.

On this day, when Lisa came to the market again, she found that the market was noisy, with many people holding newspapers and arguing.

"It's so ridiculous that someone actually speaks for the Squib! Don't you understand the theory put forward by the magic master? The offspring of the Squib and the wizard are very likely to be Squibs too!"

"Allowing Squibs to survive in the magical world is digging their own graves for wizards!"

Some stubborn old wizards spitted and shouted endlessly.

There were also angry responses from young, open-minded wizards.

"What's wrong with Squibs? Are they willing to do this?!"

"There is such a huge space in the magic world. If you give Squib a chance to stay in the magic world, you might not be able to find it?"

"I think your hearts have become cold and you have lost even the most basic sympathy!"

There was a lot of noise in the market, and the wizards coming and going seemed to be used to it.

Lisa lowered her head, feeling a twinge in her heart.

For her, the word Squib was her nightmare. Even hearing it would make her fearful, fearing that others would discover her identity and expel her.

"I can't survive in the magical world, nor can I integrate into the Muggle world..."

"Like a lonely ghost, wandering hopelessly in the wilderness but unable to find a place to stay."

Tears overflowed from the corners of Lisa's eyes. She took out almost all her savings and bought all the "Daily Prophet" during this period, and then returned to her residence.

Looking at the article in the Daily Prophet, Lisa almost lost track of time.

Lisa felt some comfort when someone expressed sympathy for the Squib.

But when she saw those powerful wizards showing extreme disgust and rejection towards Squibs, Lisa also felt a sense of sadness and aggrievement.

"I just want a small place where I won't be ridiculed or driven away, and I can talk to people without being disliked..."

"I can have no love and no offspring. I just want to live a legitimate life. What mistake did I make that cannot even satisfy my wish?"

At a certain moment, an idea came into Lisa's mind.

"If I stand up and write to the Daily Prophet, will it be useful?"

"Will it improve the situation of people like us at all?"

But she was soon gripped by timidity. Thinking of the possibility of exposing her identity and the ridicule and hostility that might follow, she was unable to put pen to paper and could only huddle in the corner of the wooden house and cry.

……

Jack is also a squib.

He was not abandoned by his family in the wilderness.

But after he was eleven years old, he never went out outside, and his parents even lied to others that he had a serious illness and was dead.

Freedom is what Jack longs for most.

But even if his parents hate him so much, what attitude will the outside magical world have towards him?

Jack knew that he was a heretic in the magical world.

"I'm an imbecile and a freak."

But recently, Jack could vaguely hear arguments coming from nearby houses.

The wizards in the village would get together to drink at night. Recently, they had a fierce quarrel every night, and the word squib was mentioned repeatedly.

Jack's parents' attitude towards him also changed slightly.

After some effort, Jack secretly found the Daily Prophet hidden by his parents and read the article about Squibs.

"There are so many outstanding wizards in the wizarding world, why can't we try to accept the Squibs and provide them with some help?"

"As children of wizards, why can't they appear under the sky of the magical world? Should we reflect on ourselves and face them with a more open mind?"

At that moment, an impulse shot through Jack's chest.

He wanted to rush out of the house, escape from this prison, escape to the free sky, and send his cry to everyone in the magical world.

"I want freedom and dignity!"

Jack pushed open the door of his house, and through a slight crack, the sun outside shone in. It was the sunny time.

But Jack's feet seemed to be nailed down.

Is the sunshine in the magical world something that I can enjoy?

The sarcastic words from my parents, the disgusted and mocking looks from my neighbors after I accidentally went out before, are now as clear as ever in my mind.

They turned into pairs of palms and tightly held Jack's legs.

He was only one step away from the outside world, but seemed to be separated by a natural chasm.

……

Hogwarts.

In the manager's lounge, Filch silently looked at the "Daily Prophet" stacked on the table and kept pacing in the room.

He wrote a letter with trembling fingers, then walked out holding the letter, walked to the front of Dumbledore's office, and lingered here.

"I should give this letter to Dumbledore and I want him to sign it."

"I hope he recognizes my cleaning work at Hogwarts over the years. I tried my best to do everything I could to keep Hogwarts clean and orderly and clean up the mess left by the children."

"I cleaned the entire castle by myself, and I did it as well as any wizard..."

"If Dumbledore can give me a signature to express his approval of my work, I can send it to the Daily Prophet and tell everyone that Squibs can survive in the wizarding world with hard work."

He wanted to reveal the password to Dumbledore's office.

But his teeth were chattering and he opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

"If this letter is sent, everyone will know that Filch at Hogwarts is a squib."

"I'm going to lose this job."

"I...I can't..."

More than half an hour later, Filch sat dejectedly on his bed, hugging his cat and mumbling to himself.

"I'm a coward."

……

At the same time, countless squibs in the magic world wanted to stand up and fight for their legitimate rights and interests.

But the long shadow oppressed them like a mountain, and no one dared to take the first step.

At this moment, both Lucius and Xiang Yu nodded calmly.

"It's time for our guys to step up."

"Speak out as a representative of a special group of people, detonate the squib group, win the support of the vast majority of civilian wizards in the magic world, and hold this public opinion in your hands."

"The public opinion is mine. The Malfoy family will invest huge sums of money to establish the Squibs' Union and arrange jobs for the Squibs. Who can stop this?!"

"Not even Dumbledore, he can't bear this inhumane name!"

……

On this day, a man stood up and occupied the front page of the Daily Prophet the next day.

The title of this issue of the Daily Prophet is - "Yes, I'm a Squib!" 》
