Chapter 3
True to her word Hermione arrived at Filch's office the next evening at 7:00 and knocked on the door. The door swung open to reveal Filch standing there mildly surprised although his face didn't show it. "I'm here Mr. Filch just like I promised" said Hermione. "Very well Miss Granger come in we got a lot of work to do" replied Filch. Hermione stepped into Filch's office and examined her surroundings. The office was small only big enough for his desk and chair, where Mrs. Norris was currently surveying Hermione from. "You'll sort out Fred's file while I sort out George's. Filch handed Hermione the file. "Very well sir, but where do i sit?" she questioned. Filch pointed to a little desk and chair in the corner of the room which was normally used for detentions. Hermione sat down and begun working as did Filch.
About an hour passed in silence, Hermione decided to break it "Sir?" she asked Filch grunted in response. "I was just wondering sir and you don't have to answer if you don't mind me asking if you are a squib how did you get into Hogwarts?" Filch sighed and rubbed his forhead. "Well you already know my secret so I might as well tell you, but if you tell anyone I'll make sure you have detention for not just the rest of this year, oh no it wll be for your remaining YEARS at Hogwarts!" Hermione nodded in understanding
"I suppose I should start out by explaing that the caretaker before me here was my father, he loved this school so much that after graduating he didn't want to leave. He went to the headmaster and asked if there was anyway for him to stay, the headmaster was nice enough to give him the caretaker position, while my mother became the gamekeeper. When my parents had me you can imagine their shock that their only child was a squib." "So you grew up at Hogwarts then" Hermione stated Filch nodded "I just took over for my father when he retired, even if i'm not fully accepted here this has been my only home since i was born" Filch looked at the clock 8:45 "That's enough go up to your dormitory its getting late." Hermione stood up and was about leave when she turned and said "Thank you sir I will come back tomorrow" and left before Filch could protest.
