He looked around."That idea that the expression was 19th century is completely wrong. In the 19th century was when Muggles heard the expression and coined it as their own, because as we all know, muggles steal a bunch of wizarding ideas.. This expression actually dates back to way before that to the 14th century. Muggles took it in the sense that apples had properties which would help them from getting sick. The expression was actually what let Muggles to continue research on apples." But the whole Muggle idea wasn't the point here. "In the 14th century. This expression was created by a wizard who rarely gets credited for it named Chauncey Oldridge." Poor old Chauncey. "He is actually famous for something else which ties into the creation of the expression." He nodded his head. " Who knows what that is?"

Hmm...Muggles didn't coin that expression? Well that was something new Auggie didn't know. He made sure to write that down in his notes and listened as Professor Scabior went on more about the REAL history of the expression, which apparently was created by a wizard.

Well, wait he did something else tied to apples? "Professor was Oldridge an apple farmer?" the Gryffindor asked innocently. That was the only other thing he could think of that had to do with apples; well except the invention of apple pie, and if a wizard had done that, he wouldn't know what to do.
