"Let Squibs gain the ability to cast spells?" Cornelius Fudge's eyes widened. "Really? Surely the cost must be enormous, right? It doesn't sound very practical..."
"Minister Fudge, you've touched on the key point..." Dumbledore blinked. "The cost is actually quite low. The most expensive parts should be energy, time, and Mandrake leaves."
"Energy, time, and Mandrake leaves?" Cornelius Fudge sounded puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Dumbledore explained, "Setting aside the time required to perform the Ritual Magic, spending energy to raise a loyal pet is no simple matter either."
"This magic that allows Squibs to cast spells was named the 'Dependence Connection Ritual' by Vizet. It requires materials such as Mandrake leaves, as well as a loyal magical pet."
"The 'Dependence Connection Ritual' must be completed together with the magical pet. Once this Ritual Magic succeeds, the person will possess the magical pet's magical talent..."
"For example, Mr. Argus Filch obtained the 'Directional Spell' from Mrs. Norris, which allows him to perform Wandless Magic."
"Beyond that, he also understands the magic of the 'Directional Spell' quite well... Given a little time, he will become an excellent guide."
"When Curse-Breakers explore Ancient Magic ruins, they always need an experienced guide. Mr. Argus Filch is entirely capable of taking on that work."
"Wandless Magic?" Cornelius Fudge's eyes went wide. "That Ritual Magic can let Squibs perform Wandless Magic?"
"Yes! Remarkable, isn't it?" Dumbledore said with a smile, a hint of pride showing between his brows. "And that still isn't the ultimate goal..."
"Could Mr. Lovegood be trying to make..." Amelia Bones thought of a possibility. "Those Squibs into Wizards?"
Dumbledore nodded. "More or less."
"If that can truly be achieved..." Old Barty Crouch's expression was extremely serious. "For any Magical World, it would absolutely be a major event!"
"It is obvious!" Dumbledore
