The Quill of Acceptance and The⁽1⁾ Book of Admittance

New from J.K. Rowling

In a smalllocked tower, never visited by any student at Hogwarts, sits an ancient bookthat has not been touched by human hands since the four founders placed itthere on completion of the castle. Beside the book, which is bound in peelingblack dragon-hide, stands a small silver inkpot and from this protrudes a long,faded quill. These are the Quill of Acceptance and the Book of Admittance andthey constitute the only process by which students are selected for HogwartsSchool of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

If anybodyunderstands what powerful and long-lasting magic causes this Book and Quill tobehave as they do, nobody has ever confessed to it, doubtless because (as AlbusDumbledore once sighed) it saves the staff tedious explanations to parents whoare furious that their children have not been selected for Hogwarts. The Bookand Quill's decision is final and no child has ever been admitted whose namehas not first been inscribed on the book's yellowing pages.

At theprecise moment that a child first exhibits signs of magic, the Quill, which isbelieved to have been taken from an Augurey, floats up out of its inkpot andattempts to inscribe the name of that child upon the pages of the Book (Augureyfeathers are known to repel ink and the inkpot is empty; nobody has evermanaged to analyse precisely what the silvery fluid flowing from the enchantedQuill is)

Those fewwho have observed the process (several headmasters and headmistresses haveenjoyed spending quiet hours in the Book and Quill's tower, hoping to catchthem in action) agree that the Quill might be judged more lenient than theBook. A mere whiff of magic suffices for the Quill. The Book, however, willoften snap shut, refusing to be written upon until it receives sufficientlydramatic evidence of magical ability.

In fact,the Book's sternness has a purpose: its track record in keeping Squibs out ofHogwarts is perfect. Non-magic children born to witches and wizardsoccasionally have some small, residual aura of magic about them due to theirparents, but once their parents⁽2⁾ magic has worn off them it becomesclear that they will never have the ability to perform spells. The Quill'ssensitivity, coupled with the Book's implacability, have⁽3⁾ never yet made a mistake.


接受之笔与准入之书

来自J.K.罗琳的新资料

在霍格沃茨的一座从未有学生造访的不起眼的的紧锁塔楼中,有一本黑龙皮封面已有些剥落的古书。它的书页自四巨头在城堡竣工之时将它放在那儿之后便再也未被人类的手指触碰过。在它旁边,摆放着一个小小的银色墨水瓶,瓶中插着一根长长的褪色羽毛笔。这些便是接受之笔与准入之书,霍格沃茨挑选学生的唯一机构。

即使有人知道了那使这本书与这羽毛笔这般行动的强大而持久的魔咒,他也不会说出其中的秘密的,这大概是因为(正如阿不思·邓布利多曾叹道的)它们省却了教工们对因子女未被霍格沃茨选中而暴跳如雷的父母们的冗长解释。准入之书与接受之笔的决定是不可改变的,迄今还没有名字未被记载在准入之书泛黄的书页上而被霍格沃茨录取了的学生。

当一个孩子初次显现魔法天赋时,羽毛笔便会飞出墨水瓶,试图将那孩子的名字记入准入之书。这根羽毛笔被认为是从一只卜鸟[Augurey]⁽⁴⁾上摘下来的。(众所周知,卜鸟羽斥水,而且那墨水瓶是空的;还没有人去仔细分析过从这施过咒的羽毛笔尖徐徐流出的泛着银光的液体之成分。)

那些有幸目睹了这一过程的巫师(一些校长喜欢安安静静地在这塔楼中待上几个小时,希望观察到它们的行动)都认为接受之笔的评判比准入之书更为宽容。仅仅一点点魔法迹象便足以使接受之笔动心。而此时准入之书便会“砰”地合上,拒绝被书写,直到它接收到足够激动人心的关于拥有魔力的证据为止。

事实上,准入之书之所以如此严格是有目的的:它拒哑炮于霍格沃茨门外的业绩记录近乎完美。父母是巫师却不具魔力的孩子偶尔会因他们的父母而拥有些许围绕着他们的微弱的残余魔法气息。但一旦他们父母的魔力不再将他们包围,那么毫无疑问他们没有丝毫施咒能力。接受之笔的灵敏,配上准入之书的严格,他们从未犯过一点错误。

(3)原文如此,似应为has。


(4)AUGUREY(卜鸟)[也称作爱尔兰凤凰(Irish Phoenix)] 魔法部分类级别:XX

卜鸟原产不列颠和爱尔兰,不过有时候北欧的一些地方也可以见到。卜鸟是一种神情哀伤,身体瘦小的黑鸟,它全身呈绿色光泽,外性有点像营养不良的小秃鹫。卜鸟特别腼腆,在荆棘丛中筑巢,吃体形大的昆虫和仙子,只是在下大雨时才出来飞行,平时就躲在它那梨型的巢中。

卜鸟那低沉的颤颤悠悠的叫声别具特色,人们一般以为这声音预示着死亡。巫师们都躲避着卜鸟的巢,因为他们害怕听到那叫人心碎的声音,而且相信很多巫师在经过灌木丛,听到卜鸟的号叫时,尽管没见到它的踪影,也都犯了心脏病。然而,通过对病人的研究,最后显示卜鸟只是在大雨来临之时才叫。自此之后,卜鸟作为家庭天气预报员红极一时,可是很多人发现,它在冬天几乎不停歇地号叫,让人难以忍受。卜鸟的羽毛不可用做作毛笔,因为他们排斥墨水。
