In the magnificent Hogwarts castle with a sense of vicissitudes, there are many areas that have not been discovered by most people so far.
Some of these areas were simply cast with one or two hidden spells. In fact, there was nothing strange in them. But some are completely because of their extreme danger or importance, so they set up many obstacles to isolate others' sight from the beginning.
Dumbledore once mentioned that even himself, there are many places in Hogwarts castle that he has never been to - this is an ancient magical building full of mystery.
In these unknown areas, there is such an insignificant small tower.
The tower has been erected there since ancient times, just between the main castle and the attached castle. If you are more careful, you can find its location from the outside, but if you want to find the way to the castle, it is not something that ordinary wizards can do.
In fact, since the creation of Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry, this strange little tower has only been known to the serving principal. If others know its existence, they can't really find it.
There was nothing but a spiral stone staircase and a semi-human high circular stone platform engraved with various wonderful symbols in the hidden small tower.
The stone platform is on the top floor of the mysterious tower. On its smooth table, there is a thick page ancient book whose cover made of black dragon skin has peeled off. On the cover of the book, the mottled marks are like its rings, silently telling the long time stored here.
This book has an easy to understand name - the book of access.
In addition, beside the seemingly ancient book of access, there is an ink bottle covered with dust. Because there was so much dust on it, the ink bottle could hardly see its original color... But it is said that it should have been silver.
To tell the truth, this ink bottle is actually no big deal. There is not even a drop of ink there. In fact, the key lies in the gray feather pen inserted in the mouth of its bottle.
This quill, like the book of access, has obviously been put here for many years, and even the color on the feather has already faded.
This pen also has a matching name with the book of access - "pen of acceptance".
Generally speaking, the pen of acceptance is sensitive and accurate.
Whenever a child within its detection range suddenly loses its magic, the pen of acceptance floats itself and tries to write the child's name in the book of access.
But the book of access is strict and cautious. The magic riot alone will not make it move immediately. It will be verified in many times of waiting to ensure that the child really has qualified qualifications, and then it will "crash" open the page and let the receiving pen leave a confirmed name on its own page with its mysterious silver ink.
The book of admission and the pen of acceptance are the only mechanism for Hogwarts to find and admit students. Each of their decisions is beyond doubt - at least so far, no student has been admitted directly without being enrolled.
At this moment, when the black haired boy next door to Fisher's house hit his father against the wall again, the waiting acceptance pen finally dropped the tip of the pen on the page of the book of access, pouring out a string of silver handwriting like running water.
……
"Who are you?"
At the top of the mysterious tower of Hogwarts castle, after the pen quietly wrote down a name, a third figure appeared in the bedroom with only a pair of father and son.
The black haired boy was quite surprised at the extremely abrupt figure. Although he was still huddled in bed, his eyes were already shining.
The little boy knew that he had finally met a "like himself" person!
However, as his father, the man showed a strong hostility to the uninvited guest. Even for a moment, the thick hostility has attracted the attention of the comers.
Now the third person who appears in this bedroom is, of course, Marca. He didn't care about the man's question. Instead, he looked at him up and down with great interest, with some thoughtful flavor in his eyes.
"Sir, you're not a Muggle, are you?" Marca looked at him calmly and directly expressed her guess.
But the other party was slightly stunned, and then left the corners of his mouth.
"Muggle? What do you mean?"
Although the man is quite grumpy, he can't be a stupid man in any way. Maka has been invisible and observed for a long time before. If Maka said anything, the man must soon understand the meaning of his presence here.
But even in this case, the other party still chooses to pretend to be confused, which inevitably means some cheating.
"What do you mean?" Marca picked her eyebrows and said to herself casually, "well... Even if it's really a Muggle, it's certainly not an ordinary Muggle."
"Hum, I don't understand what the hell you're talking about!" the man snorted coldly and stumbled inconveniently. "Get out of here, this is my home! Although I don't know how you came in and how you appeared under my eyes... But now, immediately, get out of here!"
As he murmured curses, he reached out to grab Marca's robe. As for the way Maka appeared just now, this guy didn't show any fear and timidity.
But how could Maka let him grasp his robe and let him at his mercy? Now that he has decided to show up, he must have some ideas. If he doesn't find out, he won't leave here.
But he dodged easily, avoided the hand that suddenly grabbed at him, and smiled at the man.
"Sir, I don't know why you should turn a blind eye and avoid talking about wizards and magic, but I understand that you should be planning to let the child go to school," Marca said. "Oh, I mean - Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry, I believe you know."
The man shook his head when he heard the speech
"Wizard? Magic? What 'magic school'?" he sneered. "If you're just a patient who escaped from a mental hospital, I might as well give you a little advice - put on your restraint clothes and go back to your hospital bed and lie down!"
"Huh?"
It can be seen that Maka has really been a little too comfortable recently. Because after hearing what the other party said, he really imagined the way he put on his restraint clothes and tied his belt, followed by a puff at the corner of his mouth.
"I think you're probably better suited than me to wear that --" he said, glancing sideways at the man. "All right, stop talking nonsense. You should know who I am - now, can you have a good chat with me? I mean, like a normal person."
Although on the surface, Maka didn't seem to care much about the other party's improper words, she finally teased and mocked the other party.
However, the other party obviously didn't plan to talk well from the beginning. At the moment, no matter what Maka said, the man put on a cheeky posture of not entering oil and salt, staring at Maka's face.
"I've already said it," he said. "I don't understand any of the things you say - Wizards and magic? Where do you think you are now? I've read too many nutritious fantasy novels!"
Maka's eyebrows were raised again. He was trying to do something, but the boy sitting on the bed suddenly opened his mouth.
"Big brother, don't tell my stupid father that it's useless. He won't understand if you ask him any more!" the child disdained to say, "He is just like this, stubborn and self righteous! Big brother... Are you a 'wizard'? Do there really exist 'wizards' in this world? I... what should I do to become a real wizard like you?"
The little boy with black hair first glanced at his father with disdain, then hurriedly showed his growing interest to Marca, and questions jumped out of his mouth one by one.
Maybe he had some scruples just now, but after holding it for so long, he probably couldn't hold it at last.
When Maka heard the speech, she also looked at him with a smile on her face - he could understand the child's mood at this time. This was the excitement and longing of a child for discovering a new world, and the excitement of finding that he finally had the opportunity to get rid of this "annoying" family.
"Yes! I think the school has written down your information by now. Soon, you will receive an admission notice signed by the president of our school and remind you what preparations you should make."
Maka's words made the child even more excited, because the admission news of a magic school made him feel down-to-earth in his little heart.
"But," Marca shrugged, "anyway, I'm afraid your father will pass, otherwise you may not be able to enter our school smoothly."
"School? Hum... You still want to talk nonsense here. When are you going?" the child's father said coldly, "if you don't get out again, I'll really call the police!"
Maka glanced at him again and said, "call the police? Are you sure you'll do that?"
