The silver door was smooth as a mirror, only the doorknob protruded. The doorknob was also very distinctive, it turned out to be an animal that Lovell had never seen before, it had the mane of a lion, the head of a badger, the beak of an eagle and the scales of a snake, and it looked like a mixture of four animals.

Dumbledore put his hand on the doorknob and stood there motionless. After a while, there was a "click" behind the door. Dumbledore twisted the handle slightly, and the door creaked open.

Behind the door was a spiral staircase of the same type at the entrance to the headmaster's office, and the house-elf who was in charge of cleaning the castle obviously did not have access to it, and the spiral staircase was covered in dust. When the door opened, a cloud of dust kicked up, and Lovell couldn't help but sneeze.

"Ah, I've always wanted to clean up, but I've always forgotten—" Dumbledore was slightly embarrassed, and he took out his wand and dusted the spiral ladder a little to keep the environment from suffocating.

The corridor behind the door was pitch black, but as Dumbledore entered, some pebbles the size of pigeon's eggs on the walls glowed with a warm orange glow, illuminating the path inside.

After following Dumbledore for about a minute, the spiral staircase led the two to a small, windowless tower that was also lit by the stones embedded in the walls. It's a good design, and if you light a dozen torches here, I'm afraid the smoke will be enough to make people faint.

"If you get accepted into Hogwarts, you'll be the first student to set foot here." Dumbledore glanced down at a somewhat disgraced Lovell and told him good news.

"Ahem!" Lovell wasn't interested in the achievement, the air quality here was so bad that it wanted nothing more than to sneeze.

Upon entering the tower, it looked around the layout and saw that what Dumbledore called the most mysterious place in Hogwarts was cramped, half the size of Mr. Granger's study, and the furnishings were impossibly simple, except for a table and a chair with a book with an open black leather cover, and a silver inkwell with a dark green quill stuck in the bottle.

"Any young wizard who shows even the slightest loss of magical talent will fly out of the inkwell and try to write his name on the Book of Access." Dumbledore whispered, "But not every young wizard's name can stay 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 founders placed them here, the book has never been touched by anyone else. There are quite a few headmasters in Hogwarts history who like to think here, and they spend hours at a time, and they occasionally see the pen of acceptance and the book of admission in action—"

Before Dumbledore could finish speaking, the quill moved, leaping out of the silver inkwell and scribbling quickly on the book.

The ink seeped into the pages of the book, and the handwriting began to fade as if a large invisible hand was wiping it away. In a few seconds, the name would be erased by the Book of Access, but as if the Book of Access sensed something on the way, the tendency to fade was terminated, and the line remained.

"You're lucky," Dumbledore sighed, "There aren't many people who have seen the Book of Access in action, I haven't seen it a few times, and you saw it as soon as you arrived." ”

He took two steps forward, trying to read the name of the person he had just written. He also hugged Lovell so that he could see it.

When Dumbledore read the name in the book, his face became strange, as if he was trying to hold back a smile.

The last line on the spread page reads: [Draco Malfoy, June 5, 1980]

"I didn't expect the Malfoy family's children to be recorded in the Book of Access until now, Lucius and Narcissa are probably very anxious all these years, right?" Dumbledore's eyes flashed with mischievousness.

Yes, it would be earth-shattering news if the only heir to the line of the proud Malfoy family was a Squib.

"What do you mean by magical talent?" Lovell asked curiously.

"There are all sorts of things, some may just make their hair permanently unkempt, others can make the chandelier in the living room get out of hand – but only a young wizard who is recognized as gifted can be recorded in a 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, Hermione and I have names on it!" It happily pointed to the lines of itself and Hermione.

"See, Lovell, congratulations, you're going to be a wizard." With a smile on his lips, Dumbledore greeted Lovell, but despite the smile on his lips, there was a hint of worry in his eyes: if Lovell became a wizard, his carefree days would probably be over......

Just its identity is probably going to cause a lot of controversy. In the case of wands, Dumbledore was pretty sure that if Lovell had remained in his wolf form, no wand maker would ever sell his work to him.

This would be a violation of one of the most fundamental laws of the wizarding world: it is forbidden to sell wands to anyone other than wizards, and it is against the law for all species to possess wands except wizards.

This is a law made by ancient wizards to ensure that the dominance of wizards in the wizarding world cannot be shaken, and every letter of this law is drenched in the blood of various other magic species - no one will be naïve enough to think that other magic species voluntarily give up using wands, right?

If a wandmaker dares to sell a wand to a wolf, I'm afraid he'll receive a summons from the Ministry of Magic the next day.

But if Lovell's identity is truthfully explained, there is a high probability that the wand will be able to get it, but Lovell will not be in trouble in the future, because it is the offspring of a pair of werewolves. In addition to receiving a wand, werewolves are treated not much differently than other magical species, and are completely at the bottom of the chain of contempt in the wizarding world, and are discriminated against, and their treatment is on par with black people in the early 20th century America.

If his origins were revealed, Dumbledore felt that Lovell would not be able to have a happy student life.

Glancing at the carefree little wolf cub lying in his arms, Dumbledore made a decision.

He wants to protect this pure soul!
