Chapter 176 Let me tell you an interesting story about Daphne when she was in first grade.

After October came, Hogwarts was shrouded in a damp and cold air, and many students suffered from colds. Astoria is one of them. However, with the school nurse Madam Pomfrey outside and the Potions Master Les Lint inside, the cold she caught was nothing to worry about.

After drinking the refreshing potion that Les specially prepared for her, Astoria's nostrils burst into two large streams of steam. The one-minute burst of steam took away her discomfort and restored her nasal cavity. Obtained smooth flow. If she drinks some potions to enhance her physical strength later, Astoria will be fully recovered.

Daphne became a beneficiary of the Gryffindor-style teaching method. Running circles around the Chamber of Secrets every day strengthened her physique, allowing her to withstand this round of infection.

The humid weather and precipitation did not extinguish the fiery hearts of the Quidditch team captains. Gryffindor team captain Wood and Slytherin team captain Marcus seemed to have started an arms race, and they were training frantically. , rain or shine. It made his team members miserable.

Malfoy, in particular, couldn't keep up with Marcus's rhythm at first, and then he got into trouble. However, after Marcus had a private conversation with him, Malfoy actually accepted Marcus's special training.

I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup Marcus gave Malfoy.

However, the training of the Quidditch team had nothing to do with Les. After some raids on the Secret Order's stronghold in North Africa, his life returned to peace until Halloween was approaching.

"Last Halloween, a troll was released into the castle." On a stormy Saturday evening, Les accompanied Daphne and Astoria until the library was closed, and the three of them walked slowly in the corridor together. Return to the lounge.

"Ah, I've heard that the giant monster died in the castle for unknown reasons." Although Astoria didn't enroll in school last year, she was well aware of all the gossip in the school.

"Your sister killed her."

Astoria fell silent.

Then she was shocked.

She really couldn't believe that her sister could single-handedly kill a giant monster. That was a giant monster!

Although trolls may be ugly, dirty, and stupid, they are real wizard killers. There are not just one or two wizards who have died after encountering trolls in the wild. This kind of creature, which is superior to wizards in terms of physical strength, endurance, and explosive speed, and also has a certain degree of magic resistance, is a nightmare for wizards who cannot distance themselves from the giant monster and cannot break through its defense.

Astoria knew her sister was strong, but she didn't expect her to be so strong!

"Don't be too surprised, when she faced the troll -" Les planned to share Daphne's interesting performance against the troll with Astoria, letting her know that the gap between her and her sister is not that big.

"Look!" As soon as Les started talking, Daphne noticed something was wrong, so she made a prompt decision, interrupted Les's words, and forcibly changed the topic - if she really wanted him to continue talking, how could she keep it up? The majesty of being a sister?

"Isn't that Harry? Why is he still out so late at night?"

Les and Astoria were simultaneously attracted by Daphne's words. They looked where she was pointing, and were disappointed: Harry was dragging his tired steps, carrying his broom, walking slowly. Apparently, he had just finished an exhausting Quidditch practice.

This is so reasonable and there is absolutely no need to be shocked.

A flash of enlightenment flashed through Les's mind, and he glanced at Daphne, whose eyes were wandering around - this little girl has quite a strong sense of self-esteem!

After thinking about it, he decided to save some face for Daphne and not expose her.

"Sister, that Potter is the Seeker of the Quidditch team! Isn't it normal for him to be training at this point? But they are working hard enough to go out to train in this kind of weather..." Astori Ya didn't realize her sister's intention, so she blamed her for being surprised.

Daphne quietly observed Les's reaction. Her sister's opinion was insignificant, but Les's attitude was crucial.

Fortunately, Les didn't seem to care about his performance, and he didn't dwell on the topic of trolls anymore.

"Wait, Harry seems to be in trouble." While Daphne and Astoria were chatting, Les noticed that the janitor Filch had quietly touched behind Harry.

Sure enough, Harry was taken away by a furious Filch for soiling the floor.

"As for that? Isn't it just a stain on the floor? A cleaning spell can take care of it." Astoria complained in a low voice. She felt that Filch was making a fuss.

"He's a squib." Daphne explained for Filch. He also had his difficulties. A job that would seem easy to an ordinary little wizard would require him to put in ten or even a hundred times the effort. What's worse is that, having been in the magic world for half his life, it's impossible for him not to know about the existence of the Cleansing Spell.

He clearly knows the spell to solve the problem, but he can't use it. This is the tragedy of Squib.

Filch's harsh treatment of students is probably related to his status as a squib, and his psychology has been distorted.

Astoria:!

She really didn't expect that the janitor who found trouble with students every day was actually a squib.

"Squib..." Astoria muttered the term softly. She knew that such people existed. They were poor people who were born into wizarding families but had no magical abilities.

For Squibs, the kindest way to deal with them is to send them to Muggle schools from an early age and encourage them to integrate into Muggle society.

"It is said that all wizards from Muggle families are actually the descendants of Squibs and Muggles." Daphne shared the trivia she knew.

Rice shook his head. This hypothesis was not consistent with their judgment back then. According to the conclusion of his discussion with Ravenclaw, all people on the earth have the possibility of awakening their magical talents, but the descendants of wizards only have a lower chance of awakening. Just a little bigger.

"The difference between squibs and ordinary wizards is not that big. Ordinary wizards can subconsciously use magic even if they don't understand the operation of magic. Squibs may have a natural flaw, or the flow of magic is blocked, or they may not be aware of the magic in the environment. Sensitive, perhaps because their own magic power is too weak. Anyway, they cannot drive magic power like normal wizards." Rice told the Greengrass sisters about his analysis of the cause of the Squib.

"Then if you teach them how magic works, will the squib be able to turn into a wizard again?" Astoria asked in surprise.

"Maybe." Les said casually.

Astoria and Daphne:! ! !
