Dear Mr Flan,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a Squib student. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.

Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress

Clark couldn't believe it when he received this letter. Yes, he knew Hogwarts accepted Squibs, but he still couldn't believe it.

Squibs have the same courses as wizards and attend the same classes as them, except that Transfiguration was called Magic and Science, Charms was called Home Economics, and Defense Against the Dark Arts was called Defense for Squibs.

Clark quickly made friends with a fellow Ravenclaw, Edward Spellman. Their first course was Charms with Gryffindor, where wizards started by learning about Wingardium Leviosa (the Levitation Charm) while Squibs were taught about magical objects. Then they had double Potions with Hufflepuff from 1:15 till 3:15 PM, which they learned to brew the Cure for Boils Potions, which Clark wouldn't have been able to do without his Espurr using his psychic powers to do the required spellcasting. On Friday, Ravenclaw had double DADA from 9:15 till 11:15 with Hufflepuff. While wizards learned about the Knockback Jinx (Flipendo), Squibs were taught about ways they could use to defend themselves.

Marius Black couldn't believe what he was seeing.

It's really happening. Cassie really did it. He still remembers his twin sister pleading with Hogwarts to accept him saying Squibs can be part of the wizarding world with the help of an Espurr (or it's evolved form, Meowstic), and while the Headmaster wanted to hear nothing of it, Professor Dumbledore did promise Marius that he will offer him a place as part of a pilot project.
