Chapter 162: Pen of Acceptance and Book of Admission

Chapter 162 [Pen of Acceptance] and [Book of Admission]

"What a lively scene!"

A familiar male voice sounded.

Harry turned around and saw that it was Basil, who was holding a bottle of brown, turbid liquid with black balls in it, sucking it with a straw as thick as a finger.

Basil noticed Harry's gaze and raised the drink in his hand, "Pearl milk tea. Pearls - black balls are made by kneading brown sugar and tapioca flour. Milk tea, it's easy to understand, right?"

They bumped into Hermione as soon as they got off the train.

Now Hermione, Ariana and Fleur went to take seats, and he went to China in Madison's world out of boredom and ordered a cup of milk tea.

But only Harry and Ron cared about what Basil was saying.

Basil was really charming, and this was after he covered it up with magic.

But the perfect combination of charm from the heart and appearance made everyone who saw him focus on his handsome face and strong body.

Including Mrs. Weasley, who was about to grab Ron's ears and teach him a lesson, and Ginny, whose eyes were always glued to Harry, was no exception.

Fred and George, who wanted to mock their little brother, also forgot the words for a while.

And Ron, who escaped from the tragic fate, did not choose to sneak away.

He pointed to the drink in the transparent plastic cup curiously and swallowed his saliva, "Is it delicious? Where can I buy it?"

There are many theories about the origin of modern milk tea.

But in the 17th century, its prototype already existed in Britain.

The British have long been accustomed to adding milk and sugar to the cup.

But Bajier didn't expect that the foodie Ron didn't know. Just like the electrician didn't know the left zero and the right fire, the thunder god helped me.

But Bajier then remembered that all the wizards who drank tea he had seen, such as Hagrid and Professor McGonagall, drank pure tea and didn't see anything added.

So, he said in a blink of an eye: "It shouldn't be in the UK yet. But you can taste it at the opening dinner tonight."

This is not a lie. The next second after saying this, he contacted the house elf Lailai.

As an elf from the lineage of Salazar Slytherin, the original owner of Hogwarts Castle, he still has a say in the kitchen.

"Then I'll have to taste it well." Ron rubbed his hands.

Snap!

Ginny pushed Ron away without any hesitation.

The next second, she looked shy and tidied her hair, "Are you my brother's friend, Basil Granger?"

Ron's face was pressed against the red iron sheet of the train, and he hadn't reacted yet.

"Ginny," Harry helped Ron up distressedly, "You're too--"

Ginny turned her head, the muscles on her face changed, and she shut Harry up with the same angry look as Mrs. Weasley before.

But when she looked at Basil, she became gentle and lovely, with timidity in her eyes.

"Ginny." Basil was a little embarrassed.

"Don't call me Ginny, you can call me Fula." Ginny, whose full name is Ginevra Molly Weasley, said with red ears.

"Hello, Basil." Mrs. Weasley, who had come to her senses, quickly stood in front of her daughter and glared at her.

Her daughter's lack of reserve made her forget Ron's mistake.

"It's almost time to drive." She kissed each of her children goodbye, except Percy, who was not present and had already got on the car.

Then it was Harry, and finally Basil.

She hugged Basil in particular, and for a moment she even forgot to let go.

If it weren't for Mr. Weasley's sudden appearance.

"Ah, the shampoo on you smells good." Mrs. Weasley made an excuse, blushing, and straightened up reluctantly.

But Ginny pulled her hard.

Mrs. Weasley lowered her head, "Ginny, are you hungry?"

She pretended not to see Mr. Weasley coming, opened her huge handbag and said, "I made sandwiches for you all. This is yours, Ron... No. This is not corned beef... Fred? I didn't take it by mistake, remember to give the extra to Percy. Dear..."

Basil was even more embarrassed.

It would be nice if Mrs. Weasley was as ordinary as in the movie version.

But it happened to be the novel version, the woman who gave birth to Ginny, the school beauty of Hogwarts.

Even if her figure was out of shape, she was still stunningly beautiful.

And when Mr. Weasley came, he greeted him warmly.

Fortunately, a loud whistle blew.

The railway staff walked along the train and closed the doors one by one.

The train also began to emit steam.

Basil hurriedly said goodbye and jumped into the carriage.

Harry and the others followed one by one, leaning against the window sill, leaning out of the window, waving to the Weasleys until the train turned the corner and could not see them.

Fred and George had already found a seat in advance and left first.

Basil did the same.

Under Ginny's reluctant gaze, he strode to the front of the corridor.

Harry, Ron and Ginny walked along the corridor, looking for an empty carriage.

"Someone, someone, everyone." Ron was a little annoyed, "Harry, why don't we go with Bagel? At least five people can fit into one compartment. Hermione won't say anything."

Harry pouted at Ginny, "You know Hermione. She definitely doesn't want the two of us to disturb their world of two."

Ginny's eyes widened, "Two people's world? Bagel has a girlfriend? That Hermione?"

"Yawn!" In the compartment, Hermione rubbed her nose, "Someone is saying bad things about me."

As she spoke, she secretly pinched Bajir's thigh with her hand.

She had just learned that Bajir had spent the entire summer vacation with the two girls.

The blonde girl had bright and generous features, and her eyes seemed to hide a pool of blue water. She was gorgeous but not vulgar, and she spoke with a cuteness that did not match her appearance.

The silver-haired French girl spoke with a ridiculous French accent. But her silver hair was as smooth and shiny as a waterfall under the sun. She also had big blue eyes, neat and white teeth, and her smile was breathtaking.

What's more annoying is that they all have a good figure, and you can hardly see your toes at a glance.

Thinking of her particularly obvious front teeth and inconspicuous curves, she pinched Bajir's thigh with more force.

Bajir pretended to be in pain and held Hermione's little hand begging for mercy.

This calmed down Hermione, who was angry like a little squirrel.

She snorted and raised her head, "I'm Hermione Granger. What's your name?"

Bajiel's eyes twitched. Good guy, it's been so long, and he hasn't introduced himself yet.

Although the railway track also belongs to his body, he didn't pay attention to what the three of them were talking about just now.

At Madison's request, he was broadcasting live at that time, asking her to watch Platform 9 3/4 carefully.

And she once again expressed her desire to come to his school.

Obviously Fiona had died of old age not long ago, and the witch hunter group was destroyed by Fiona before her death, and the voodoo queen was also subdued and accepted by the witch group.

The witch academy is no longer a threat.

But Madison still wants to immigrate across the world and go to Hogwarts.

Completely forgetting that she is not a wizard.

Admission to Hogwarts is not decided by the principal, but by the [Pen of Acceptance] and [Book of Admission].

They only accept wizards.

In a locked and inconspicuous tower at Hogwarts that no student has ever visited, there is an old book with a peeling black dragon skin cover.

Its pages have never been touched by human fingers since the four giants placed it there when the castle was completed.

Next to it, there is a small silver ink bottle with a long faded feather in it.

They are the [Pen of Acceptance] and the [Book of Admission].

Like the Sorting Hat, they do not require maintenance and have been running safely until now.

There is no ink in the silver ink bottle.

Therefore, the feathers of the faded feather are believed to be the feathers of the Augurey.

Only the Augurey feathers repel water.

But this does not hinder the sensitivity of the [Pen of Acceptance].

When a child first shows magical talent, the feather will fly out of the ink bottle and try to write the child's name in the [Book of Admission].

The [Pen of Acceptance] is very sensitive.

Just a little sign of magic is enough to make the [Pen of Acceptance] tempted.

When a child first shows a magical talent, the quill will fly out of the ink bottle, and the tip of the quill will slowly ooze out a silvery liquid, trying to record the child's name in the [Admission Book].

Even if the magical phenomena created by the child may be due to the presence of wizard parents, and there is a faint residual magic aura around them, and the child's ability to cast spells is almost non-existent after leaving their parents, the [Acceptance Pen] will react to it.

It is like a tolerant teacher, eager to open the door for those students who do not meet the standards and are dull, so that they can receive education.

But the existence of the [Admission Book] makes this possibility disappear.

The [Admission Book] records the name and date of birth of every wizard child, so it can tell people who will enter Hogwarts to study and when.

But it is also very strict.

Unless it receives sufficient evidence that a person has magical ability, it will "bang" shut and refuse to be written until it receives enough exciting evidence of magic.

Therefore, the [Pen of Acceptance] ensures that no young wizard will be left out, and the [Book of Admission] ensures that no Squibs will be admitted.

They are the miracle of the wizarding world, and the reason why Hogwarts has always stood firm.

The other ten magic schools do not have such a sensitive detection mechanism.

Even the British Ministry of Magic cannot detect where wizards are born.

They are locked in the tower, and only the headmaster and those he allows can enter.

So, Madison's desire to enroll is simply a daydream.

Magic and magic are different.

They are just the same in nouns.

One is spirituality, and the other is magic like a command.

Ariana can enroll because her name is on the [Book of Admission].

Until now, Bajir still can't crack the secret of wizards.

The magic of wizards is too mysterious. Even if you "make a wish" many times, you can only barely sense it when the magic magnetic field does not rotate.

It is more like a permission than an energy.

So, Bajir has no way to make Madison a wizard.

Fortunately, after the train started, Madison temporarily let go of her obsession.

She asked Basil to broadcast the situation on Harry's side.

She wanted to see the live version of Harry Potter.

So, her sight began to shift.

In front of the door of the last carriage.

"What the hell! There are vacancies, why don't you let us in."

"Damn pink-haired kid!"

Looking at the car door in front of him, Ron suppressed his anger, closed his eyes, and began to pray: "This is the last car. I hope it won't be full again. It's best if there is no one at all."

Ginny behind him also began to pray, but she silently said in her heart, "Full, full, full."

This way she could go to Bagir's carriage.

Even if she was facing that guy named Hermione, she didn't care.

Uh-huh!

Harry didn't wait for them and opened the door.

"Remus!" Harry was very surprised, "How could you-"

In his opinion, since the Ministry of Magic did not allow Lupine to come to the train station with him, it was even more impossible to ride the same train together.

Ron's startled laughter and Ginny's annoyed whining did not attract their attention at all.

Harry and Lupine looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

"Perhaps you have heard it many times, but let me say this, your eyes are exactly like your mother's."

Harry burst out laughing.

Ron and Ginny also walked in, feeling a little baffled.

But Ron also laughed, "It's a bit inexplicable. Ha, the Ministry of Magic is really funny. It's too formalistic."

In the chat group.

Madison: "Aha! I can see it!"

Zoe: "?"

Sophie: "As if no one can tell, Lupine is not looking at Harry."

Beatrice quickly went to Anemon, the Director of Magical History, and asked for the answer: "Lupine also likes Lily Evans."

Bella: "No wonder Lupine, who is more stable in the eyes of others and should be able to control Sirius and James, did not stop James from targeting Snape."

Madison: "Yeah, he's jealous!"

"Hey, why are you looking away! Sweetheart? I still want to observe Lupine's expression!"

"Hiss! This is it?"

This is an empty carriage, and there is only one little girl in it.

However, the pink bubblegum-like hair caught the attention of Madison, a senior Hamburg fan.

In the chat group.

Madison: "She's Tonks? No. How can she look like a child?"

"Can a Disguise Magus do this?"

Bagir couldn't help but curl up his lips as he recalled Tonks' true figure.

She quickly replied in the group: "Of course. If she wants, she can become a man."

"The reason why Tonks turned into a child here is to carry out the mission of the Ministry of Magic."

"Now it's fishing. Lupine is one of them."

"They wanted to see if Harry would take action if he was in the same compartment as him."

"This is why she, who is supposed to protect Harry, will decisively refuse his entry."

Beatrice: "Now? So Tonks has other tasks?"

Sophie: "Did you cheat again?"

"I caught it myself this time! Do you dare to say that you didn't? Professor Anemon is right next to you."

Beatrice: "So what?"

Zoe: "You two go have a private chat! Bucky, continue."

Bagir: "Ani, uh, Beatrice, you guessed it right."

"But I'll keep it a secret for now. You can guess. It will be announced at the opening dinner."
