To obtain the ' Squib Wand ' that Malfoy mentioned, Filch, the castle's caretaker, went to great lengths.

They didn't even dare let Malfoy do the sweeping; they practically worshipped Malfoy in the office.

Moreover, they extended their affection to Leicester Filch as well.

They dared not let Lester do any physical labor, but only let him hold a broom and scribble on the ground, for fear of displeasing Lester and causing him to speak ill of them to Malfoy.

Since the workload is for four people, and Lester and Malfoy are currently unable to work, the entire workload has fallen on Ron Weasley's shoulders.

"Weasley, is this the floor you swept? Look at all this garbage! Do you even know how to do a job?"

Malfoy stood with his hands behind his back, a cold smile playing on his lips, picking on Ron Weasley's faults.

Filch, standing nearby, seemed oblivious, pretending to be engrossed in his work and ignoring everything.

Ron Weasley, on the other hand, was cleaning up the trash on the ground with a bitter expression, looking extremely resentful.

"Malfoy, Lester, Filch, I will definitely get my revenge on you!" Ron Weasley thought to himself, seething with rage.

But now, under Filch's control, Ron Weasley can only silently endure Malfoy's sharp tongue.

While Malfoy was causing trouble for Ron Weasley, Lester stood aside, lost in thought, contemplating Filch's wand.

What Malfoy and Filch just said was all lies. In fact, nobody in the Wizarding World cares about the Squib, this lowly group.

The Malfoy family wouldn't spend huge sums of money researching Squib Wand, so there's no such wand on the market.

"I'll have to go back to Azkaban tonight," Lester thought to himself as he swept the floor.

Azkaban possesses everything that exists in the Wizarding World, but Azkaban also possesses things that don't exist in the Wizarding World!

Although alchemy is not a subject at the Azkaban Vocational Technical College, it does have the great inventor Victor.

Lester believed that simple tricks like Lumos and Scourgify would be no challenge for Victor.

Having made up his mind, Lester immediately went to Malfoy's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing this, Malfoy didn't hesitate and went to Filch: "Mr. Filch, my friend Lester and I would like to ask for leave!"

"A leave of absence?!" Filch's eyes widened.

How can someone be put in solitary confinement and still get a day off?

"Didn't I say I'd bring you Squib Wand?" Malfoy lied through his teeth without batting an eye. "So now we want to go home, House-elf can take us back."

"If you're not in a hurry, then we can also put you in solitary confinement here."

Upon hearing that it was about his wand, Filch quickly said, "No rush, no rush, you all go home, I'll do these chores."

Malfoy, satisfied, gave Lester a smug look before the two strode away, leaving Ron Weasley standing there, seething with resentment.

Upon reaching the Slytherin Common Room, Lester turned to Malfoy and said, "I'm going out to settle things with Filch's wand. You just stay in the common room and don't give anyone any ammunition against you."

After saying that, Lester went to his bedroom alone.

Watching Lester's departing figure, Malfoy became curious about Lester's background.

It's important to understand that Hogwarts has a hierarchy, and Pure-blood wizard are the highest class, possessing many rights that ordinary people cannot see.

For example, Malfoy has a House-elf who takes care of him.

While other Muggle-born wizards might not see their parents for over a month, these purebloods can return home instantly simply by relying on House-elf.

Clearly, Lester also has a House-elf.

"Is it not the mark of a gentleman to remain unperturbed when others do not understand him?"

"Some people don't know my name, but I haven't gotten angry yet; that's already very gentlemanly."

A gentleman who lacks dignity will not command respect.

"A true gentleman must be ruthless, otherwise he will not be able to establish his authority!"

Inside Azkaban Prison, several wizards dressed in robes and holding Lunyu books were leading a reading aloud, swaying their heads.

Inside the cell, all the wizards dressed as prisoners recited the words aloud, their eyes occasionally flashing with surprise, clearly indicating that they understood.

Mundungus Fletcher Fletcher followed along, completely bewildered, and marveled at how quickly the world had changed.

When he entered Azkaban a few years ago, it was still teeming with Dementor, and unlucky souls would frequently lose their lives there.

Now, the new warden has implemented reforms, not only abolishing the Dementor ' positions but also adding a daily morning reading activity, which Mundungus Fletcher finds quite novel.

Just as Monton was secretly marveling at the novelty, the morning reading ended, and the wizards in wizard robes who had led the morning reading arrived in front of Monton's cell.

"New guy, what did you do to get in here?" Mike raised his eyelids and asked routinely.

Knowing these men were prison guards, Monton dared not be negligent and honestly replied, "I'm in here for stealing."

"I stole a few Polyjuice Potion bottles from the Potions shop in Knockturn Alley, but as soon as I got Polyjuice Potion Potions, they exploded."

Monton was very upset. Ever since a powerful gang of fake medicines moved into the Wizarding World, his life as a thief had become increasingly difficult.

The stolen Potions were either ineffective or would explode if shaken violently, and this time they even landed him in jail.

"Pure-blood wizard, thief," Mike pulled out the list, shook his head, crossed out Mundon's name, and then started asking the next person.

Azkaban Vocational Technical College needs fresh blood, so the college sends people to investigate talent every week.

If someone has exceptional talent, they can gain admission to the Azkaban Vocational Technical College after passing an exam.

Even without special talent, there is still a chance.

As long as you can fulfill one prerequisite, you can still enter Hogwarts Vocational Technical College.

That would be like Franklin, Muggle-born who was framed and imprisoned by Pure-blood wizard, suffering immense hardship and hatred.

If you meet these requirements, congratulations, you've already taken one step into Azkaban Vocational Technical College.
