Chapter 12
The Quill of Acceptance and The Book of Admittance
In a locked tower that has not been visited by any student; There is a book from ancient times. No one has touched them since the four great founders. This book, bound in dragon skin, has a silver ink box next to it and a quill pen inside the box. These are the Quill of Acceptance and the Book of Admittance of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
It is not known what spell made this quill and book magical for so long, and if anyone found it, they kept it to themselves to avoid boring explanations to parents who question why their children were not selected for Hogwarts and were therefore frustrated. The Book and Quill’s decision is final and no child has ever been admitted whose name has not first been inscribed on the book’s yellowing pages.
As soon as a child shows signs of magic, Quill writes the child's name on one of the pages of the book, using ink we believe is made from Augurey feathers. Although it is known that the ink is gone and the inkpot is empty, it is unknown how Quill continues to write.
Some headmaster/headmistress enjoyed spending time alone in the tower and went to the tower to catch the book and the quill in action. In this way, they concluded that the quill was more lenient than the book. Although the quill pen began to write in the slightest magic smell, the book would not open without high evidence that it is magical ability.
Although quill is more sensitive, neither the book nor the quill did make the mistake of accepting a Squib* to school. While there is always a little magic around Squibs, it has been analyzed by the book and the quill that this magic is just the small touches that come from their families and that Squibs can never cast magic.
* A Squib, also known as a wizard-born, is a non-magical person who is born to at least one magical parent. Squibs are, in essence, "wizard-born Muggles".
