"Letting Squibs gain the ability to cast spells?" Cornelius Fudge's eyes widened. "Really? The cost must be enormous, right? It doesn't seem very practical..."
"Minister Fudge, you've hit upon the key point..." Dumbledore blinked. "The cost is actually quite low. The most expensive things are probably the effort, time, and Mandrake leaves."
"Effort, time, and Mandrake leaves?" Cornelius Fudge asked doubtfully. "What do you mean?"
Dumbledore explained, "Setting aside the time needed to perform the Ritual Magic, raising a loyal pet with great effort is no simple matter either."
