After Edward left, Dumbledore stayed in his office while thinking. A few minutes later, someone else came in.

"Albus, why did you call me?"

"Minerva, I need you to send a letter to Lupin inviting him back to school."

"Invite him back for what?"

"To be the new DADA professor."

(DADA; Defense Against the Dark Art)

"Oh, Albus, did you finally change your mind? From what happened in the last few classes, it is obvious that Lockhart is nothing but empty talk," replied Professor McGonagall.

"Well, the Hogwarts Board of Governors were not happy with my choice, so they asked me to change it, effective immediately."

"Hmmm, I thought the board rarely intervenes in the affairs of the school?"

"Now that they are most likely under Edward's control, the situation should change permanently."

"Albus, did they fire you? Or plans to?"

"The current situation does not seem that dire, but who knows what will happen in the future."

Minerva was silent for a moment, then she asked: "What about Lupin's condition? Will that be a problem?"

"If it is, then Edward will solve it," replied Dumbledore calmly.

"What do you mean by this?"

"If my guess is correct, his next major step is to control dark creatures like werewolves and vampires. Given how marginalized and discriminated these creatures are by society, as long as he invents a potion or spells that allow them to control their transformation, and promise them to be treated normally by society, they will give them their undying loyalty."

Professor McGonagall did not know what to say, so she sighed and decided to go and contact Lupin. However, right before she left, Dumbledore asked her to send Harry Potter to his office.

A few minutes later, Harry entered the headmaster's office, but he did not see anyone else--even Fawkes. Except for a snake that was glaring at him. Although Harry was scared at first, soon, he started to speak in a strange language, following which, the snake seemed to listen to a common and just laid curling on the floor.

Soon afterward, Dumbledore walked in from somewhere. 'The Potter family and the Gaunt family never had any connection from what I know, so there is only one way for Harry to be a Parseltongue…'

--Scene Break--

Edward was walking in the hallways with the caretaker, Argus Filch. He said: "Are you ready?"

"I've been ready for my life. But, are you sure that there won't be any problem."

Edward patted his shoulder and said: "You should believe in my reputation."

Soon, the two of them arrived in a room in the castle. Inside was headmaster Dumbledore, Vice-headmistress Minerva, Minister of Magic Fudge, Amelia Bones, Crouch Sr., and Rita Skeeter from the Daily Prophet.

As soon as the two of them arrived, everybody's gaze was directed at them; to be precise, directed at Filch. Taking a deep breath, the squib entered the room.

Soon afterward, a potion was handed over to him. Without much hesitation, he drank the entire bottle--despite how horrible it tasted. Then, he waited with bated breath. Time seemed to be passing too slow for him, however, he knew that he had to be patient.

Five minutes later, when he was about to be disappointed, a surge of energy blasted from his body.

With the utmost election, Filch started to wave his hand and transform a chair in the room into different animals: snacks, birds, mice, etc. He was like a child who had just gotten a new toy.

Meanwhile, Rita Skeeter's eyes lit up after seeing this, so she started taking pictures. Then, she interrupted Filch by asking: "How do you feel being the first Squib to awaken his magical abilities?"

"It felt great. I can finally use magic just like these children." Then, Filch took Edward's hand and shook it firmly. "Thank you for given me this opportunity."

"No problem. From now, there will be no more squibs in the magical world."

Many of the people in the room sighed as they knew that once again, Edward Bones will change the magical world, for the better.

After that, Rita asked him a few questions, then she asked Minister Fudge: "Minister, how do you feel about this discovery? Any plans on how to maximize the benefit of this potion?"

Fudge straighten up his clothes, then answered: "Of course. I will personally oversee Mr. Bones' ceremony to award him a first-class Merlin Medal. Although he already has many of them, I'm sure he won't mind a new one. Additionally, I ask that all squibs acquire this potion to awaken their magical abilities."

Rita Skitter nodded nonchalantly, then she walked to Amelia and asked: "Madam Amelia, the same question."

"I believe this invention is the perfect opportunity to raise the population of the wizarding world."

"Oh, could you please elaborate more?"

"One of the reasons that many families are not having children is because they feared given birth to Squibs, but with this new potion, all families can be guaranteed to always give birth to wizards."

"That is indeed true, but what about the other issues?"

"The other main issue with the low birth rate in the wizarding world has to do with the financial situation of many families. The best way to solve this problem is for the Ministry of Magic to create special funds for all wizard families that will help raise their children until they turn into an adult. The more children have, the more money than they can receive from this fund."

What Amelia and Edward want to do is pay some families to have as many children as possible, thus increasing the population of wizards.

While this interview was going, Edward was communicating with Dumbledore on the side.

"I have found a new professor for the DADA class, and he should be here in a few days," said Dumbledore.

"Oh, and who would that be?"

"His name is Remus Lupin. But I have a few concerns."

"If you are referring to his status as a werewolf, then I have a way to deal with it. And if you are also talking about the curse that Voldemort placed on the position, then I will also deal with it."

Dumbledore glanced at Edward, then he answered: "In that case, I'm relieved."

Soon afterward, the interview was finished, but some people were not happy. For example, Minister Fudge. His limelight was stolen by Amelia Bones, and he was not happy about it. So, after everyone left their separate ways, he stayed at Hogwarts to talk to Dumbledore.
