Category:Squib



A squib is a child born to magical parents who shows no signs of magical ability. In the eyes of the Ministry, squibs are no better than muggles. Any family that produces a squib is considered to have a major blood impurity due to interbreeding with muggles. An exhaustive search is conducted by the Ministry into the family’s background, often stripping them of their primary blood status. Pureblood families seldom produce squibs, and those that do tend to exile or otherwise ‘dispose’ of the child. A number of squibs can be found living in Parliath.

Unfortunately, squibs have little they can do to change the course of their lives, considering that they have no magical abilities to counter their foes. When La Blanche first began to operate under Theodore Lupin, there was a bit of a stir for the rights of squibs, but with his death, the cause seemingly died.
