Harry Potter and the Squib Headmaster
Chapter 4
The Revelation

"Who?" asked Harry, looking quite dumb. "I don't know if there is even one employee of Hogwarts."
"Of course there is," the Sorting Hat said. "And you surely know him well."

Few minutes earlier:
Argus Filch was walking down the corridor, wanting to avoid everyone. His cat, Mrs. Norris, was following him, sometimes using shortcuts on their way down to the Great Hall.
"Say, my dear, we are going to punish some students badly, aren't we, when the new school year begins?" he asked the creature he most cared for.
Mrs. Norris purred and stretched her back. She liked this human much. He cared well for her ever since she could remember. And the magical cats have exceptionally good memory. Argus has bought her when he was ten years old, one year before he hoped that the Hogwarts letter will arrive. It did not.

Harry was deeply in his thoughts. "You stupid Hat, can't you simply tell me who is this mysterious teacher? Because I don't know, every one I know dropped dead here, in this very room.
"Did I ever say it must be necessarily a teacher? As far as I remember, I have said that it is the person that is in the services of Hogwarts for the longest time. And that is, in current circumstances, the caretaker."
