I was Hermione's puppy at Hogwarts
Chapter 48: Malfoy's Little Secret
The silver door was as smooth as a mirror, with only the door handle protruding. The door handle was also very distinctive. It was an animal that Lovell had never seen before. It had the mane of a lion, the head of a badger, and the beak of an eagle.
And the scales of snakes, it looks like a mixture of four animals.
Dumbledore put his hand on the door handle, and then stood there motionless. After a while, there was a "click" from behind the door. Dumbledore turned the handle lightly, and the door creaked open.
Already.
Behind the door was a spiral staircase similar to the entrance to the principal's office. The house elf responsible for cleaning the castle obviously did not have permission to enter here. The spiral staircase was covered with dust. After the door opened, a large puff of dust was raised, and Lovell couldn't bear it.
He sneezed.
"Ah, I've always wanted to clean it up, but I always forget--" Dumbledore felt a little embarrassed. He took out his wand and cleaned up the dust on the spiral staircase a little to make the environment here less suffocating.
The corridor behind the door was dark, but after Dumbledore walked in, some pebbles the size of pigeon eggs on the wall gave off a warm orange light, illuminating the road in the corridor.
After following Dumbledore for about a minute, the spiral staircase took the two of them to a small tower without windows. The light source in the tower also came from the stones inlaid on the walls. This is a good design. If there were ten points here,
A few torches may produce enough smoke to make anyone who comes in faint.
"If you are admitted to Hogwarts, you will be the first student to set foot here." Dumbledore lowered his head and glanced at the somewhat gray-faced Lovell, and told him the good news.
"Ahem!" Lovell was not interested in this achievement. The air quality here was so bad that it just wanted to sneeze.
After entering the tower, it looked around at the layout here and found that the most mysterious place in Hogwarts according to Dumbledore was very cramped. It was even only half the size of Mr. Granger's study, and the furnishings inside were also simple.
It was unbelievable that there was only a table and a chair. On the table was an open book with a black leather cover. There was a silver ink bottle next to the book, with a dark green ink inserted in the bottle.
Quill pen.
"As long as any little wizard shows even a small amount of magical talent, this quill will fly out of the ink bottle and try to write his name in the Book of Access." Dumbledore said softly, "But not every
A little wizard’s name can be left on it…”
His expression became a little emotional, because whether he could leave his name in the book or not decided the fate of this ignorant child.
"Since the founder placed them here, this book has never been touched by anyone else. There are many headmasters in the history of Hogwarts who like to think here and stay for hours. They occasionally
Can see the workings of the Pen of Acceptance and the Book of Admission—"
Before Dumbledore finished speaking, the quill started to move. It jumped out of the silver ink bottle and quickly wrote a line of words on the book.
The ink seeped into the pages of the book, and the handwriting began to gradually fade, as if an invisible hand was erasing it. According to this trend, the name will be erased from the Book of Access in a few seconds, but it seems that in
The Book of Access noticed something along the way, and the fading trend was stopped, while the line of writing was retained.
"You are so lucky," Dumbledore sighed: "Not many people can witness the operation of the Book of Access. I have not seen it a few times, but you saw it as soon as you came."
He took two steps forward, trying to see clearly the name of the person who had just been written on it. He also held Lovell so that he could see it.
After Dumbledore saw the name on the book clearly, his expression became strange, as if he was trying to suppress a smile.
The last line on the open page reads: [Draco Malfoy, June 5, 1980]
"I didn't expect the Malfoy children to have their names recorded in the Book of Admission until now. Lucius and Narcissa must have been extremely anxious these years, right?" Dumbledore's eyes flashed with mischief.
Yes, it would be earth-shattering news if the only direct heir to the Malfoy family, which prides itself on its bloodline, was a squib.
"What do you mean by magical talent?" Lovell asked curiously.
"There are many kinds of things, some may just make your hair disheveled forever, and some may make the chandelier in the living room go out of control - but only little wizards with recognized talents can be recorded in the book."
Lovell looked up along Malfoy's name and saw a series of names——
【……】
[Luna Lovegood: February 13, 1981]
[Ginny Weasley, August 11, 1981]
[Mckenna Grace, June 25, 1980]
[Ron Weasley, March 1, 1980]
…
[Hermione Jane Granger, September 19, 1979]
【Lovell·?, October 5, 1979】
Lovell:!
"Professor Dumbledore, look here, my and Hermione's names are both on it!" it shouted happily, pointing at the two lines of words about itself and Hermione.
"I see, Lovell, congratulations, you will become a wizard." Dumbledore congratulated Lovell with a smile on his lips, but although he smiled, there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
:If Lovell becomes a wizard, then its carefree days may be over...
Its identity alone would probably cause quite a bit of controversy. Take the wand, for example. Dumbledore was very sure that if Lovell had remained in the form of a wolf, no wand maker would ever sell his work to
it.
Because this would violate the most fundamental law of the wizarding world: it is prohibited to sell wands to any group other than wizards. Except for wizards, it is against the law for all species to possess wands.
This is a law established by the ancient wizards in order to ensure that the dominance of wizards in the magical world cannot be shaken. Every letter of this law is soaked with the blood of other magic species - no one is naive to think that other magic species can't be shaken.
Magicians voluntarily give up the use of wands, right?
Once a wandmaker dares to sell his wand to a wolf, he may receive a summons from the Ministry of Magic the next day.
But if Lovell's identity is revealed truthfully, there is a high probability that the wand can be obtained. However, Lovell will have a lot of trouble in the future, because he is the descendant of a pair of werewolves. In addition to being able to obtain wands, werewolves are treated like other magical species.
It’s not too different. He is completely at the bottom of the contempt chain in the magical world. He is discriminated against and his treatment is comparable to that of black people in the United States in the early 20th century.
If its origin was exposed, Dumbledore felt that it would be difficult for Lovell to have a happy student career.
After taking a look at the carefree little wolf cub lying in his arms, Dumbledore made a decision.
He wants to protect this pure soul!
