Hogwarts, where the stars shine

Chapter 31, Squib



Professional things are left to professional people.

No matter how many books Mesa reads about pure-blood wizard families, he may not know as much as a pure-blood wizard.

Of course, the views and butt of this pure-blood wizard must not be too crooked, otherwise the content learned from his mouth will be very one-sided and unable to effectively solve the doubts in Mesa's heart.

It's like asking Slytherin about Gryffindor, and asking Gryffindor about Slytherin.You rarely get words of praise from them, but more of a prejudice that has existed for a long time.

Although he is Iron Black, Mesa's emotional intelligence is actually not bad. He can naturally see that Lilia is losing her temper and "revenges" his previous behavior.

After Mesa thought carefully, he decided to compromise and say something against Lilia's will to comfort the little girl who was hurt.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with Gryffindor." Mesa carefully considered every word. He was not so tired from dealing with Snape's confinement. "Gryffindor has courage that ordinary people cannot match. They have courage and courage..."

"Arrogance, self-righteousness, and disregard for discipline." Lilia was like a ghost who died unjustly, with resentment emanating from every part of her body. "There is another point, and the most important point, meaningless heroism."

Ah, this...

What kind of hatred and resentment could make Lilia Shafiq have such a serious prejudice against Gryffindor?

Although it was the prejudice of Slytherin students, Mesa had to admit that Lilia's view was not wrong. There were indeed many Gryffindor students who did not understand the true meaning of courage.

Many times, Gryffindors do things with courage and disregard for the future, which is the so-called "top".

Although this recklessness is a bit stupid, and sometimes it makes people's teeth itch with hatred, the impulsive Gryffindor is much cuter than the calculating and shrewd Slytherin.

"Yes, yes, everything you said is correct, but listen to me and make it up for you." Mesa continued, "Look, Minerva McGonagall is a Gryffindor, and Albus Dumbledore is Lido is also from Gryffindor... This shows that Gryffindor House is not that bad."

Hearing this, the concentration of resentment in Lilia's body finally dropped. She smiled and said: "So you are trying to say that if I am assigned to Gryffindor House, I will become someone like Professor McGonagall." ?”

Although she felt that the students in Gryffindor House were reckless little fools, this did not prevent Lilia from respecting Dumbledore and McGonagall.Giving due respect to the strong is what a smart person should do.

Lilia's smile became brighter, more dazzling than the sunshine outside the window, but Mesa fell into silence because he did not mean to compare Lilia to Professor McGonagall.

What Mesa wants to express is actually very simple: gold will shine wherever it is.

As long as you have talent and perseverance, whether you are in Gryffindor Tower or Slytherin dungeon, you will achieve commensurate success.

As for why Lilia understood it that way... it's probably because young people's brain circuits are too strange and they think about problems from a tricky angle.

"Seeing that you are sincere in admitting your mistake, I will forgive you in full." Lilia said happily as the clouds turned to sunny, her eyes bent into beautiful crescents.

Girls need to be coaxed when they are angry.You don't have to reach for the stars or the moon. You need to show your attitude more to win the favor of girls.

Of course, this is a normal girl.Those girls who are not normal will not be discussed here.

Fortunately, Lilia is very normal. Although she can be a little willful at times, she has a lot in mind and knows where the bottom line is.

"What were you asking just now?" Lilia asked with a smile, "By the way, the pure-blood wizard family and the Black family."

Mesa raised his head. Although he still could not understand Lilia's brain circuit, since the other party was willing to help him solve the problem, this was a satisfactory result.

"That's right," Mesa said. "A while ago, I looked at the list of past graduates in the prize room."

Then Mesa told the story of that night in the trophy room and his suspicions.

Mesa believes that he should be related to the Black family.But for some unknown reason, Black from the Mesa team did not appear on the Hogwarts student list.

"It's not impossible." Lilia confirmed Mesa's suspicion, "Although Hogwarts is the best magic school in the world, some parents still choose to send their children to Durmstrang, or Send to Beauxbatons."

But Lilia's next words overturned Mesa's guess.

She said: "But if you are really a descendant of the Black family, why did you end up living in Muggle society? As far as I know, the only remaining member of the Black family's paternal line is the one from Azkaban, which means that this ancient and wealthy The family is slowly dying.”

Pure blood refers to a wizard or wizard family that does not have Muggles or Muggle origins in the family tree.

In order to maintain the purity of their blood, most pure-blood families will only choose to marry members of other pure-blood families. Marriage between close relatives is inevitable, and there may even be marriages between cousins.

However, marriages between close relatives will inevitably cause some problems, including mental and physical diseases. This also makes it difficult for many pure-blood families to survive and gradually decline.

For example, the Gaunt family, one of the 28 sacred families, and the current Black family.

As Lilia said, if Mesa is really a descendant of the Black family, it means that the dying family has an opportunity to continue its inheritance.

A male heir who can inherit the family's glory and expand its branches. Such an important person, but the Black family abandoned him in Muggle society, ignored him, and left him to fend for himself...

Is this really possible?

Mesa also felt that it was impossible. The Black family, which was gradually dying, had no reason to do this. What could be more important than family inheritance?

At this time, both Mesa and Lilia fell into misunderstandings and did not diversify their thinking. They got into trouble and failed to clear up the fog that lay on the truth.

Looking at the two people who were thinking hard, Sean Hart, who had been thinking about it for a long time, suddenly said: "Is there a possibility, I mean possibility, that the Black family you are talking about does not actually know the existence of Mesa."

After saying that, Little Fatty shrank back like an ostrich, while Mesa and Lilia both had expressions of understanding.

Yes, the Black family most likely didn't know about Mesa's existence, so they let Mesa wander.

The old problem was solved, but new problems followed one after another - where did the Black from the Mesa team go?Why did they abandon Mesa instead of entrusting him to the remaining Blacks who were still alive?

Mesa has never lived in the magical world or in a pure-blood family. He doesn't know how pure-blood families deal with things, but Lilia Shafiq has a certain understanding.

"Although we claim to be pure blood, our family tree has nothing to do with Muggles..." Lilia said slowly while thinking, "But in fact, as long as we trace it back long enough, almost all wizarding families can be more or less similar. Getting involved with Muggles."

Mesa understood that even a pure-blood wizarding family would inevitably have Muggle blood mixed in its veins.

In addition, there is a kind of person in the magical world called a Squib by wizards, and the essence of a Squib is actually a Muggle born from a wizard.

Lilia continued: "Those of us families who value blood will never admit that our family has connections with Muggles. Not only that, we will also remove members who marry non-pure-blood wizards or marry Muggles from the family. They will be removed from the list and will no longer have any dealings with them. We will manually maintain what we call 'purity and orthodoxy'."

After saying that, Lilia raised her eyes and looked at Mesa. She felt that she had found the right answer for him.

Lilia said with great conviction: "Squib!"
