Muggle Studies Task #2 - Write about a canon muggle who is actually a squib
Hope Howell strolled out of the insurance company she worked at. She was friendly with her co workers but they knew nothing about her secret. She was a squib meaning her family were all wizards but she wasn't. She longed to be magical but she was kicked out of her house. She longed to go to Hogwarts and she would've been a Ravenclaw. Though, she made a good life for herself as a muggle.
She reached the forest and began walking through it lost in thoughts. Suddenly, she saw a figure but she couldn't really see it. She screamed. A sandy haired man heard her scream and ran over to her. He did a spell and the figure went away.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, I'm Lyall Lupin."
"Hope Howell," she smiled looking in his brown eyes.
He smiled back.
"I should get back to work," Hope said.
Lyall said. "Let me walk you back, if you don't mind."
"I don't mind."
Lyall nodded and they began walking back towards her workplace.
"Thanks for walking me back."
"You're welcome, would you like to go out with me?"
"I would."
He smiled and left. She quite liked Lyall Lupin but she wasn't sure if he accept her secret. The duo went on their first date a few days later.
This was just the start of a whirlwind romance. It was a few months later when Lyall proposed.
"Marry me, Hope Howell," Lyall said nonchalantly.
She was caught off guard but she agreed. She was never reckless but he made her act more reckless.
A few months later, the couple got married.
"Hope?"
She turned to her new husband. "What is it?"
"You know that thing I saved you from when we first met?"
"Yes."
"It didn't really pose any threat to you."
Hope nodded. "I'm surprised I could see it. I'm a squib."
