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 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. It looked like it belonged to four animals. Hybridity.

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

Behind the door is a spiral staircase similar to the entrance to the principal's office. The house elf responsible for cleaning the castle obviously does not have permission to enter here, and the spiral staircase is covered with dust.When the door opened, a large cloud of dust rose up, and Lovell couldn't help sneezing.

"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 embedded in the walls.This is a good design. If a dozen torches were lit here, the smoke would be enough to make anyone who comes in faint.

"If you are admitted to Hogwarts, you will be the first student to set foot here." Dumbledore glanced down 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. Beside the book was a silver ink bottle with a dark green ink inserted into it. Quill pen.

"Any young wizard who shows even a hint of magical talent will fly out of the inkwell 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.

"This book has never been touched by anyone else since the founder placed them here. 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 writing began to fade, as if an invisible hand was wiping it away.According to this trend, the name will be erased by the Book of Access in a few seconds, but it seems that the Book of Access noticed something during the process, and the fading trend is terminated, and the line of words is 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 he could see.

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 read: [Draco Malfoy, June 1980, 6]

"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 of the Malfoy family, which prides itself on its bloodline, was a squib.

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

"There are many kinds, 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 1981, 2]

[Ginny Weasley, August 1981, 8]

[Mckenna Grace, June 1980, 6]

[Ron Weasley, March 1980, 3]

……

[Hermione Jane Granger, September 1979, 9]

【Lovell·? , October 1979, 10]

Lovell:!

"Professor Dumbledore, look here, my and Hermione's names are both on it!" it shouted happily, pointing at the two lines of words on himself 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 may cause quite a bit of controversy.Take the wand, for example. Dumbledore was very sure that if Lovell had remained in wolf form, 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 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 would be naive to think that other Do magicians voluntarily give up the use of wands?

Once a wandmaker dares to sell his wand to a wolf, he will probably 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 can be obtained, but Lovell will be in trouble in the future because it is the offspring of a pair of werewolves.In addition to being able to obtain wands, werewolves' treatment is not much different from that of other magical species. They are completely at the bottom of the contempt chain in the magic world and are highly discriminated against. Their 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!
