Chapter 47: The Pen of Acceptance and the Book of Admission
Knock knock knock!
Early in the morning, there was a knock on Hermione's bedroom window. The noise from the window alerted Lovell, who climbed up alertly and looked at the source of the sound with wary eyes.
But when it saw who was knocking on the window, it felt relieved - it was Fox outside the window.
But after feeling reassured, Lovell was a little disappointed because he understood that when Fox appeared outside the window, it meant that he was leaving.
It glanced at Hermione who was still sleeping, its eyes full of reluctance.
'We will definitely meet again.' Lovell looked at Hermione and thought firmly.
It quietly walked to the window, opened the window a crack, and squeezed out quietly. During the whole process, Hermione didn't sleep at all and slept soundly.
Goodbye! Even though he knew the girl couldn't see, Lovell waved his paw towards Hermione, grabbed Fawkes' tail feathers, and disappeared.
On the bed, Hermione turned over and didn't realize that her little wolf cub had left.
…
Lovell returned to Hogwarts after a long absence.
"Welcome back, how was your Christmas?" Dumbledore sat on the chair behind his desk, waiting for the return of Lovell and Fawkes.
Thinking of the exchanges with Hermione during the Christmas vacation, Lovell felt a burst of joy from the heart. It nodded, indicating that it had had a very happy Christmas.
"That's good. Many people have come to see you these days when you are away." Dumbledore told Lovell with a smile. When it went home for Christmas, the castle administrator Filch and the Dark Magic Guard
Defense Professor Dimit came to see it and inquired about the date of its return.
Dimit was trying to make a fortune, while Filch wanted to use Lovell's power to catch a student who repeatedly violated school rules but refused to hold back.
"I know," Lovell waved his paw impatiently, "I'll go see them after breakfast."
Lovell, who was taken away from Granger's house, was not in a good mood. In order to take revenge on Dumbledore, he decided to have a big meal and ate up all the bad old man's food reserves!
This is also the only way the wolf cub can take revenge on Dumbledore.
After all, it was just an ordinary little wolf. It couldn't even resist a girl like Hermione, so how could it possibly disobey Dumbledore's will?
Huh? Lovell suddenly had a clever idea.
"Professor Dumbledore, can I learn magic?" It looked at Dumbledore with its big innocent eyes, pretending to be as innocent as possible: I am just a little wolf cub who is curious about magic.
, what evil intentions can a wolf cub have?
"Huh?" Dumbledore looked at Lovell with interest. Not only was he curious about the reason why the little wolf suddenly wanted to learn magic, but he was also curious about whether Lovell was qualified to become a wizard.
Faced with Dumbledore's gaze, Lovell felt a little guilty - he wanted to improve his voice through learning magic. It would be quite embarrassing if Dumbledore saw through this little thought.
"This is an interesting idea," Dumbledore said slowly: "I need to verify one thing now. After I finish this, we will discuss learning magic."
Dumbledore was not stalling for time to deal with Lovell, he really wanted to see if Lovell had the talent to become a wizard.
There are two ways to judge whether an ordinary child can become a wizard.
For those children who show their talents early, it is naturally easy to judge. Some children can make glass disappear out of thin air, some children can make flowers bloom and wither, and some children can float when they roll down the stairs... Those with experience
As soon as people see these performances, they know that this child can become a wizard.
What about children who show no outward signs?
This involves two magical items that have been stored in the Hogwarts Tower: the Pen of Acceptance and the Book of Admission.
These two magical props were created by the founders of Hogwarts Magic. They appeared even earlier than the construction of Hogwarts Castle. Because they were too old and the spells were too complex, the two props
The principle of operation has been lost in the dust of history.
The Pen of Acceptance is a quill that can detect the birth of a child with magical talents and write the child's name in the Book of Admission. Any child with magical talents can be detected by the Pen of Acceptance.
It's just that not everyone's name can be written in the Book of Admission. The Book of Admission is the supervision of the Pen of Acceptance, and it will refuse to admit a person unless it receives sufficient evidence that a person has magical abilities.
The pen writes the child's name on it.
Since the Book of Admission records the name and date of birth of every wizard child, it can tell people who will enter Hogwarts and when. Professor McGonagall will check this book every year and use an owl to give
Children who are about to turn eleven are sent letters of admission inviting them to come to school.
"You go about your business first." Dumbledore stood up, ready to let Lovell play by himself. Now he was going to look for Lovell's name in the Book of Access to see if it was on it.
Lovell blinked, and a curiosity arose in his heart: he wanted to know what Dumbledore was going to do.
"Do you want to take a look?" Dumbledore noticed Lovell's eyes. He thought for a moment and felt that it would not be a problem to bring Lovell with him.
"Come with me, but you can't run around." After a few words of warning, Dumbledore took Lovell with him, preparing to let him see the treasures of Hogwarts.
"Okay, I promise!" Hearing that his request was met, Lovell wagged his tail happily, and he quickly assured Dumbledore that nothing would happen.
Dumbledore led Lovell to the wall of the principal's office. This was the innermost part of the principal's office and seemed to be a blind spot. The walls here were not hung with portraits or covered by shelves like the walls in other places.
There is only a small empty wall.
Facing the wall, Dumbledore stretched out his hand. When his skinny hand touched the wall, something changed where the palm of his hand met the wall: ripples appeared on the originally smooth wall.
, the wall seemed to have turned into water, and something was floating rapidly under the water.
The ripples gradually expanded, and a silver door gradually appeared in front of Lovell.
When the door completely appeared, Dumbledore pulled away his hand, and the wall returned to its solid state, except that now there was an extra door on the wall out of thin air.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the Book of Access." Dumbledore said to the stunned Lovell.
