Chapter 606: Another Name

In the majestic and somewhat vicissitudes of Hogwarts Castle, there are many areas that have not yet been discovered by most people.

Some of these areas were simply cast with one or two hidden spells, and there was nothing unusual about them. However, it is entirely because of its extreme danger or importance that many obstacles have been set up to isolate the sight of others from the beginning.

Dumbledore had mentioned that even he had never been to many places in Hogwarts Castle - an ancient magical building full of mystery.

And in the middle of all these unknown areas, there is a small and inconspicuous tower.

The tower has been erected there since ancient times, just halfway between the main fort and the annex fort. If you're careful, you'll be able to find its location by looking from the outside, but if you want to find your way to the castle, that's not something that ordinary wizards can do.

In fact, since the founding of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, this strange little tower has only been known to the working Headmaster. Other people's words, even if they know that it exists, can't really find it.

And in the small tower, which was so hidden deeply, there was nothing but a spiral stone staircase and a half-man-high circular stone platform carved with all sorts of wonderful symbols.

The stone platform was on the top floor of the mysterious tower, and on top of its smooth countertop was a thick-leaf ancient book with a slightly peeling cover made of black dragon skin. On the cover of that book, the mottled marks are like its annual rings, silently telling the long time that has been stored here.

The book has an easy-to-understand name – The Book of Access.

In addition, next to this seemingly old "Book of Access", there is also a dusty inkwell. Because of the dust that had fallen on it, the inkwell could barely be seen in its original color...... However, it is said that it was supposed to be silver.

Truth be told, the inkwell wasn't a big deal, there wasn't even a drop of ink there. Actually, the key lies in the gray quill that is inserted in the mouth of its bottle.

This quill, like the Book of Access, has apparently been here for many years, and even the color on the feather has long since faded by half.

This pen also has a name that goes with the "Book of Access" - "The Pen of Acceptance".

Overall, the pen of acceptance is sensitive and accurate.

Whenever a child in its range suddenly bursts into a magical outburst, the Pen of Acceptance flutters itself and attempts to write the child's name into the Book of Access.

But the Book of Access is strict and cautious, and the mere magic riot does not make it immediately moved. It waits for the child to verify that the child is indeed qualified before turning the pages and letting the Pen of Acceptance use its mysterious silver ink to leave a confirmed name on its page.

The Book of Admission and the Pen of Acceptance are the only mechanisms by which Hogwarts finds and admits students. Every decision is a no-brainer – at least so far, there has not been a single student who has been admitted to the school without being accepted.

At this moment, the moment the dark-haired boy next door to Fisher's house slammed his father against the wall again, the pen of acceptance that had been waiting for a long time finally landed on the page of the Book of Access, pouring out a string of silver handwriting like flowing water.

……

"Who are you?"

At the top of the mysterious tower of Hogwarts Castle, a third figure appeared in the bedroom where there was only a father and son.

The black-haired boy was quite surprised by this extremely abrupt figure, although he was still cowering on the bed and did not move, but his eyes were already shining.

The little boy knew that he had finally met someone who was "just like himself"!

However, the man, who was his father, showed a strong hostility towards the uninvited guest. Even if it was only for a moment, the strong hostility had already attracted the attention of the comer.

The third person who appeared in this bedroom right now was, of course, Maca. He didn't pay attention to the man's questioning, but looked him up and down with interest, with a hint of thoughtfulness in his eyes.

"Sir, you're not really a Muggle, are you?" Maca looked at him calmly and bluntly stated her conjecture.

But the other party was slightly stunned, and then pursed the corners of his lips.

"Muggles? What do you mean? ”

Although this man is quite short-tempered, he is not a stupid person no matter how you look at it, and Maca has been invisible. If Maca had said it, the man must have quickly understood the meaning of his presence.

But even in this case, the other party still chose to pretend to be confused, so it is inevitable that there is some trickery in it.

"What do you mean?" Maca raised an eyebrow and said to herself casually, "Hmm...... Even if it was a Muggle, it was certainly no ordinary Muggle. ”

"Hmph, I don't understand what the hell you're talking about!" The man snorted coldly, and staggered over with some inconvenience in his legs and feet, "Get out of here, this is my home!" I don't know how you got in or how you got out under my nose...... But, now, at once, get out of here! ”

He cursed under his breath as he reached out and grabbed Maca's robe. In terms of the way Maca appeared in the instant just now, this guy didn't show any fear or cringe.

But how could Maca let him grab his robe and be at his mercy? Since he had decided to show up, he must have had some ideas, and he wouldn't have left here if he hadn't figured it out.

But he easily dodged the hand that was grabbing at him, and smiled at the man by the way.

"Sir, I don't know why you turn a blind eye to wizards and magic, but I do know that you are planning to send this child to school." "Oh, I mean—Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I'm sure you know. ”

The man shook his head

"Wizard? Magic? What else is a 'school of magic'? He sneered, "If you're just a patient who has escaped from some mental hospital, I might as well give you a little advice - put on your straitjacket and go back to your hospital bed and lie down honestly!" ”

"Huh?"

It can be seen that Maca's recent life has indeed been a little too comfortable. Because after hearing the other party say this, he really imagined himself wearing a restraint robe and tying up a belt, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"I think you're probably better suited to wear that thing than I am—" he said, squinting at the man, "alright, don't talk this useless nonsense." You should know exactly who I am - now, can you have a good chat with me? I mean, like a normal person. ”

Although Maca didn't seem to care too much about the other party's inappropriate words on the surface, she still teased the other party in the end.

It's just that the other party obviously didn't plan to have a good conversation from the beginning. At this moment, no matter what Maca said, the man put on a posture of not eating oil and salt, staring at Maca with impatience on his face.

"I've said it a long time ago," he said, "and I don't understand any of the things you're talking about—wizards and magic?" Where do you think you are? I've seen too many fantasies without nutrition! ”

Maca's eyebrows furrowed again, and he was about to do something, but the boy sitting on the bed suddenly spoke.

"Big brother, don't talk to my stupid father about this uselessness, no matter how much you ask, he won't understand!" The child said disdainfully, "That's how he is, stubborn and self-righteous!" Big Brother ...... Are you a 'wizard'? Is there really a 'wizard' in this world? I...... What should I do to become a true wizard like you? ”

The dark-haired boy glanced at his father with disdain, and then busily showed Maca his growing interest, and questions popped out of his mouth one after another.

Maybe he still had some scruples in his heart just now, but after holding it for a while, he probably couldn't hold it anymore.

When Maca heard this, she looked at him as well, and a slight smile appeared on her face—he could understand the child's mood at this time, the excitement and longing of a child who had discovered that he had discovered a new world, and the excitement that he had found out that he finally had a chance to escape from this "nasty" family.

"Yes! I think the school has already written down your information by now. Soon after, you will receive a letter of acceptance signed by our Principal and reminded you of what you should do. ”

Maca's words made the kid even more excited, because the news of admission to a magic school made his little heart inexplicably feel down-to-earth.

"But," said Maca, shrugging her shoulders, "in any case, your father will have to pass this hurdle, or you may not be able to enter the gates of our school without any problems." ”

"School? Hum...... When do you still want to talk nonsense here? The child's father said coldly, "If you don't get out again, I'm going to call the police!" ”

Maca glanced at him again and said noncommittally, "Call the police?" Are you sure you'd do that? ”
