Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2569 Cheese Trap (5)

Hogwarts Castle is a large complex with many towers and corner towers, as well as deep dungeons. Adventure-loving children have been to almost every corner of the castle, but there is one tower that no student has visited. Pass.

As we all know, although the augury has bright feathers, it repels all inks. At the same time, it can predict the weather. Some people once regarded it as a home weather forecaster. However, the winter in the British Isles is always so wet and rainy that the augury has never been in winter. Stop calling.

It's annoying, there was a medieval wizard named Uric who had 50 auguries and slept in that room, and during a particularly humid winter, Uric felt like he was dead and now a ghost , he tried to walk through the wall of his home after getting up, resulting in a ten-day concussion.

He also wanted to prove that the call of the augury is not only harmless to people, but also good for health. After listening to the call for three consecutive months, he introduced his findings to the Council of Wizards, and the council was unmoved. Instead of a wig, it was discovered that he had a dead badger on his head.

   So keeping an augury became an unlucky symbol, and even though it was known that it no longer heralded death, it was still remembered along with the laughing Uric.

  No one wants to go crazy, but most of the lunatic do not know that they are crazy, they are immersed in their own world alone.

   When Pomona walked up the stairs behind the locked door to the top of the tower, she thought Albus was alone, but she didn't expect Minerva to be there too.

She was standing a little closer to the door, while Albus was standing at the table in the center of the tower with his back to the two of them, and in front of him was an ancient book bound in black dragon skin , next to a small silver inkwell with a faded quill in it.

The summer sun shone through the tower windows, leaving the dust behind, but the pen floated out of the inkwell as if it was being held in one hand, and began again on the yellowed pages. Writing, leaving a long string of silver characters, if you look carefully, you will find that it is a person's name.

   This is the pen of acceptance and the book of admission, the augury is the "prophet" among birds, and the faded quill is made of its feathers. Every year Hogwarts sends acceptance letters to students through owls, and now it's August, and it's time to send letters once a year.

   No matter where the little wizard is hiding, this sensitive quill will know that Minerva will send the notice and the list of books and items needed for the new school year to their hands through the records above.

She is one of the few people who can go to this tower other than the headmaster, more often it belongs to the headmaster's "private domain", and the headmasters and headmasters will spend a quiet time in this "tower of books and quills" time.

If it is a non-magical parent, forget it, if it is a magical parent, it will be very angry to find out that their child's name is not on the admission book, because it not only means that the child can't go to school, but also means that the family has made an admission. Family shamed Squib. There have been attempts to forcibly record their children's names on the Book of Access, but no one has ever succeeded, and the records of the Book of Access are perfect.

   "You're looking for me, Headmaster," Pomona whispered, her voice echoing across the tower.

   "It's not just you, come here, both of you," Albus said with his back to the two of them, and Pomona and Minerva walked to the desk together.

As if a gust of wind blew in, the pages were blown constantly, and finally stopped in 1980, on July 31 of that year, there were two wizards' names, one named Harry Potter and the other named Nevilleron Patton.

"Since I heard the prophecy, I have been on this tower, watching the process of recording them." Albus said, "Compared to books, quills are more forgiving, as long as a little magic talent is enough. , yet the book would close, refusing to be written on it until it received enough evidence that the owner of the name had magical abilities. So at the moment Neville Longbottom was born, Quill tried to write down his name, but was rejected by the book, Frank Clone Barton had told me that Neville was gifted enough that he would wrap himself in a blanket shortly after he was born, but no one noticed, including the midwives, until Neville 8 At that age, he almost fell from a height..."

   "It wasn't an accident," Pomona said. "His uncle threw him from a height and he nearly died."

"The Book of Admission now allows the quill to put Neville Longbottom's name on it, even though it seems to us now that he and Harry Potter were recorded on the same day." Albus said, "Both of you. Remember the present for Harry, and what about Neville's present?"

   Pomona looked at Minerva, Minerva looked at Pomona, and neither of them spoke.

   "Take it." Albus suddenly said, spreading out his big hands, showing a silver salamander in front of them.

  This salamander is so vivid that it almost makes people think it is alive, especially those eyes...

   "The door key?" Minerva asked.

   "Maybe Newt can tell if it's a salamander or a frost lizard. There's no color, so I can't tell them apart." Albus said, "Who of you will give it to him for me?"

   Pomona and Minerva looked at each other again.

   "He passed by with the door key, and how did he come back?" asked Pomona.

   "He could stay there for the summer," Minerva said.

   "Neville said he still wanted to stay at school and be with other people," Pomona said.

   "Then I suggest that Newt borrow his brother's tie." Albus handed the Silver Salamander to Pomona. "I remember it was a beautiful tie."

   She didn't understand what he said.

   "The salamander has a strong ability to regenerate, and even if it loses its limbs and tail, it will grow back, perhaps because it has always been in its infancy, not only has the vitality of recovery, but also needs the care of others." Albus said.

   "You're just talking, right?" Pomona asked. "Have you ever taken care of a real baby? Albus."

   "I want to tell you that Hogwarts is always open to every student, it's like their home, so go ahead." Albus smiled and said, "Don't make them wait too long."

   Pomona and Minerva bowed to him and walked out of the room.

   "Am I going to write the notice, or do you want to exchange with me?" Minerva asked when she reached the stairwell.

Pomona pictured herself holding the scroll, calling the children by name, making them sit on the chair, and pressing the sorting hat on their little heads; Minerva, in an apron, was busy in the kitchen outside scene.

   "No." She said decisively, stepping downstairs.

===================================================== =============

Sirius Black can find all the magical names of humans associated with Hogwarts in that book, but ghosts, house-elves, and Squibs are not in that book, but the Daoists need it the most The guards are housekeepers like Squib Filch.

   Fortunately, there are very few housekeepers, and Muggles don't come to Hogwarts, they're not on the book of admission, and they don't receive a letter of admission. Petunia once wrote to Dumbledore, hoping that the wizarding school would accept her, but even the headmaster couldn't do anything about it.

  Maybe because of too many turns, Georgiana felt dizzy, but it was not the dizziness of the dizzy keys.

  Although Newt found his brother's tie, he still used a magical beast to send Neville back, because he fainted the door key, but the bird snake finally arrived at the school anyway.

   In addition, Neville developed a strong interest in herbalism from a magical zoologist, and although his magic powers are very slight, he is not a Squib.

   She remembered the scene that she didn't know if it was a dream or a memory. At that time, she vomited and yelled at a crab claw orchid to pay attention to the time changer. She had a feeling that Neville would hear it.

The first time she found out that Neville would talk to plants, she thought it was because he had no friends. When he later established friendships with humans, he did not change this habit. The plants he took care of were not much different from those taken care of by Pomona, so He stayed with her and Severus, just like Theodore Nott.

Although Severus used the confinement method to let the students handle the potion materials for himself, which made many people feel unhappy, there are always those who really want to learn the skills and will take the initiative to stay, or take the initiative like the Weasley twins." delivered to the door." The taciturn Nott was of course not as flattering as the Magpie-like Weasleys, but Severus still taught him some secrets out of his preference for Slytherin.

   After she came into this world, a Muggle told her that if no one exaggerated praise to him, others would think he was inferior to a grass-roots, making them lack reverence for him.

   This is also a problem that has troubled her for a long time. Sirius and Harry are neither big nor small. Not all fathers allow their sons to call their own names, but the atmosphere of the Order of the Phoenix is ​​like this.

   And the tie of Theseus that Albus mentioned was actually a door key, and there was a golden phoenix on the red tie, which was really pretty, and Neville looked pretty good too.

  Even if the key is dizzy, it is very useful to use it to escape, because it can take Neville back to "home" no matter where he is.
