At about half-past twelve, there was a sound of footsteps in the hallway.

A salesperson with dimples on his lips when he laughed pushed open the box and asked with a smile:

"Kids, do you want to buy something?"

"A copy of everything."

Kassandra immediately straightened up, grabbed a handful of gold gallons from her pocket, and said haughtily:

"One for each person!"

Hallie didn't grab it from her, although she also had a lot of gold galleons in her pockets.

So, the empty seats across from them suddenly had a host, and they were piled up with all sorts of snacks - Ron was right not coming.

Kassandra tore open the package, put a piece of bubble gum in her mouth, and said as she chewed:

"I think she's supposed to be a squib."

"Who?"

Harley asked, then realized that she was talking about the salesperson just now, and asked suspiciously:

"What do you mean by a squib?"

Kassandra says:

"You can understand that a Muggle from a wizarding family is the opposite of a wizard from a Muggle family. They were born into wizarding families, but they have no magical talent of their own and are reluctant to leave the wizarding world, so most of them will work as servants for wizards. ”

Kassandra paused and explained, "Squib is not an insulting word. ”

Hallie nodded silently in understanding, but Ash shook her head and said:

"She's not a squib."

"Why?" Kassandra was unconvinced.

Ash smiled and said:

"She's been working here as a salesperson since the train route was running, do you think such a person would be a squib?"

Hallie exclaimed:

"Isn't she more than a hundred and sixty years old? Do wizards live that long? ”

"Nope."

Kassandra was defeated and whispered:

"Most wizards don't survive, only very powerful wizards, like Dumbledore. But Dumbledore is only 110 years old this year, and many wizards can't live that long......"

Kassandra blushed, what did she just do? She actually said that a powerful wizard is a squib?!

Ash went on to say:

"But even if it's a squib, their descendants actually have a chance to become wizards, because there has always been a theory in the wizarding world."

Kassandra and Harley looked at each other, and Ash continued:

"The theory is that all Muggle-born wizards must have had someone on their ancestors who was a wizard or a squib. From this, it can be deduced that all wizards have a common ancestor or a group of ancestors. ”

Kassandra frowned slightly:

"I've never heard of this theory."

Harley asked curiously:

"Ash, do you think this theory is correct?"

"Maybe it's right, maybe it's not."

Ash didn't give a clear answer, but said calmly, "Because no one knows if this theory is credible or not, unless you can travel back thousands of years to see why wizards were born." ”

If this theory is accepted, it means that the birth of wizards is not accidental. The first wizards, or the first group of wizards, were influenced by some factor to become 'wizards'. ”

"And I prefer that the 'first wizards' were a group of people rather than a single person, and these 'original wizards' became 'wizards' under the influence of some special factor that cannot be replicated. For example, a meteorite from the sky will drop into a village, and the whole village will become a wizard. But there is only one meteorite, and the 'power' in the meteorite has been absorbed by the people of this village, so it cannot be replicated. ”

"This would explain why only the 'original wizards' and their descendants can become wizards, and not everyone has the opportunity. And judging from the history of the wizarding world, magic is gradually being lost, the overall strength of the wizarding world is getting weaker and weaker, and the number of squibs is increasing. ”

"A lot of really powerful magic has been lost, and even ancient magic has been left with legends."

"And with the passage of time, perhaps the entire wizarding world will die out, and even the existence of wizards will become a distant legend."

Ash actually believes in this theory, which is the basic premise of this world. So there must be some reason why the 'first wizards' were born. And as the wizard's bloodline continues to continue, the 'power' contained in the bloodline becomes thinner and thinner, which leads to the overall strength of the wizarding world becoming weaker and weaker.

Based on this inference, Ash conducted a large number of human experiments, and more than two dozen dark mages paid for it with their precious lives. Of course, this experiment was the least costly of all Ash's experiments, after all, only about two dozen people died.

Of course, this cannot be told to outsiders casually.

So Ash stopped and didn't go any further.

But even what he said had silenced the two girls.

This made him have to liven up the atmosphere, and he interrupted with a smile:

Of course, this is based on the fact that this theory really holds. But even if this is the case, it will be at least another thousand years before the wizarding world completely dies out. Moreover, it is likely that this theory was only invented by pure-blood proponents in order to prove the theory of pure-blood nobility. ”

"So, don't take it personally." Ash said lightly.

The girls were comforted by the fact that the topic was too heavy for them, and Harley preferred to believe that it wasn't true. Kassandra thought the same way, even if this theory could better support the 'pure-blood nobility'.

Kassandra wrapped the spit bubblegum in tin foil and pointed her wand at it:

"Scourgify!"

The tip of the wand glowed, and the foil on the ground vanished.

Harley picked up a small packet of chocolate frogs and asked with some suspicion:

"This can't be a real frog, right?"

Hearing Harry's inquiry, Kassandra put away her wand, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and said in her usual tone:

"It's just that the name is weird, it's ordinary chocolate inside, you can open it and take a look."

Harley naively believed her and opened the box. A chocolate-turned, black frog immediately burst out and jumped on Harry's face.

"Ahh Hallie was so scared that she screamed, she hated frogs!

"Poof!" Kassandra couldn't hold back her laughter, she loved seeing Harry's frightened expression.

"Quack~!"

The frog croaked and crawled up to Harley's hair, but the next second she was grabbed by Ash in the palm of her hand.

Ash patted the girl on the shoulder and comforted, "It's not really a frog, it's just chocolate, you can eat it." ”

There was a cry in Hallie's voice:

"Don't! Absolutely not! Take it away! ”

"Okay."

Ash shrugged and brought the frog to his mouth.

Click!

With a crisp voice, Ash bit off the frog's head, and the rest of his body was still twitching and bouncing, just like a real frog.

Hallie looked at Ash in horror, and you just ate it in one bite? How do you get it?
