HP's Adagio Minor

??

Durmstrang is at its most wonderful in June.

The rock walls of the dark river valley are shining in the sun, as if they have just been painted; Zi... It's just that among the fifth grade students, no one is interested in going to a picnic at this time, or spending time in a Quidditch match, because the OWLs exam is coming.

Since last week, the professors have not assigned any homework, and all the class time is spent on reviewing the questions that the teachers think are most likely to appear in the exam. This kind of concentration, boring and rigid atmosphere makes the students feel inexplicably nervous.

"I can review for eight hours a day!" Cus Eisen showed off during his lunch break, "Eight to nine hours, and I can study for ten hours on weekends, but there are always things..."

And more people, in order to concentrate energy, improve brain power and treat insomnia, began to pay attention to all kinds of gadgets for internal and external use, such as Buffy brain refresher, dragon claw powder, etc., are almost sold out in the student black market Well, the price of twelve galleons a pint is not too deceitful.

After exercising his prefect rights, Adrien confiscated all these messy things and cleaned them up.

"What a pity!"

Pierre said regretfully.

In the last comprehensive review class, Professor Scott explained the timing of the owLs exam and the specific arrangements during the exam.

"As you can see, the owLs exam will last for two weeks. You will take the written exam in the morning and the practical exam in the afternoon. Of course, the astronomy practical exam will be in the evening."

A dry voice, accompanied by the sound of students writing with their quill pens.

"I must remind you that the most stringent anti-cheating spells have been applied to your test papers, and it is strictly forbidden to bring the automatic answering quill into the examination hall, and there are also memory balls, detachable entrainment cuffs, and automatic error-correcting ink-yet there are always some People think that they can escape the regulations of the Wizarding Examinations Bureau, and cheating will be punished with the most severe punishment..."

He rambled on a lot of attention points, and finally sighed softly,

"No matter what, you should do your best and think about your own future."

??

The first exam, Charms Theory, was scheduled for Monday morning.

The day before the exam, Lola and her friends made an appointment to go to the study room together, but the laughing and slapstick juniors outside the corridor seriously interfered with their review progress.

"Be quiet!"

Even Vichy, who is always gentle, lost his temper. He slammed "Spell Achievement" on the table, and rushed out of the classroom, "This is the exam review area, you are hindering us, leave quickly!"

Watching the backs of those lower graders running away, Vichy returned to his seat uncomfortably, opened the book and continued to read.

On the side, Nath Dai Zhengmo wrote the definition of basic spells, and Tully held a copy of "Standard Spells, Level [-]", and circled the big and small bullet points again on the important and difficult points marked on it.

Lola flipped through the class notes of the past few years. In a book with a special cover, the neat and naturally slanted fonts made her a little dazed, until a pencil case was patted on the back of her hand.

"Sorry!" Pierre reached out and took the pencil case back. He was practicing basic movement spells just now, but for some reason he kept going off track.

"It's okay." Lola stuffed the notes into the book bag, and then continued to read other class notes.

The dinner that day was very quiet, and even the evening self-study was filled with a dull pressure.

After the curfew, Lola was lying on the bed, and the deep night outside the window made her feel restless. She finally fell asleep after thinking about something.

Lola woke up early the next morning, and her mates had just emerged from the common room as she came down the stairs.After saying hello, a group of people walked into the restaurant silently—but even in this short time, some people were still studying some books, or using the salt shaker, knife and fork on the table as practice props.

Until the students of other grades began to attend class one after another, the fifth grade students were still wandering aimlessly in the hall; then, at 09:30, they were called to the auditorium one by one by class.

The auditorium has been rearranged. The rows of seats have been replaced by many small tables for one person, all of which face the guest seat at the front of the auditorium. After everyone is seated and quiet, Professor Scott puts the table A gigantic hourglass of his was upside down beside him, and there were spare quills, inkwells, and rolls of parchment on the table.

"You can begin," he said.

Lola opened the test paper and looked at the questions on it——

A. Write a spell that makes objects fly

B. Describe the motion of waving a wand.

C. Briefly explain the main points of the magic control of the hover spell

……

She immediately recalled the answer, bent down and began to write on the test paper.

Two hours later,

Lola walked out of the auditorium and immediately saw the boys discussing the topic around the fountain.

"I seem to have spelled the moving spell wrong, but I answered the happy spell, how about you?" Dai asked worriedly.

"What is Hiccup's undoing spell..." Pierre scratched his head with a disturbed expression on his face, "Did I write too much?"

After lunch, the group of anxious fifth graders once again gathered in the hall, waiting to be called to take their practical exams.The students entered the examination room in alphabetical order by surname. Before Lola had time to review more, she was called by her name and entered the auditorium together with several students from the next class.

"Relax, young man, don't be too nervous."

Professor Niinisto patted the boy at the front and asked him to stand at the examiner's desk on the left, and the next ones were assigned one by one.Lola was behind a tall and thin boy, and the examiner opposite was a witch in a short robe, with dark red hair curly and docile, and a very serious expression on her face—if it wasn't for her facial features With Nordic features, anyone would think that she and Professor Cuiler are relatives.

But even if the examinee in front perfectly rotated the glass 1080 degrees in the air, she couldn't get a smile from her.

Soon, it was Lola's turn, and she was a little uncontrollably nervous.

"Good afternoon, Professor."

"Good afternoon, what's your name?"

"Lola Barodis."

"Barodis?" Ms. Serious looked down at the college list, "—Okay, let's get started, please let this glass jug pour me a glass of water..."

Lola felt that her spells were not bad in practice. Her levitation and movement spells were flexible, and zooming in and out was not too difficult. When she successfully cast the illusion spell, the 'serious' lady finally had something in her eyes. She smiled a little—Lola was sure she'd gotten a bonus point, but she wasn't going to make a big deal out of it.

There seemed to be no time to relax in the evening, and Lola immediately went back to her room after eating, and devoted herself to preparing for the next day's Transfiguration exam.Until late at night, Lola was lying on the pillow, still staring at the series of illustrations, complex spell models and theories in "Intermediate Transfiguration".

On the bird stand by the window, the red-tailed vulture owl stared at its owner vigilantly, for fear that if he was not careful, he would become a pair of small binoculars.

When answering the question the next morning, Lola confused the order of the three definitions of the conversion spell, but the magic principles of Animagus were fully written (after all, they have experienced it before).In the afternoon practice test, her guessing questions were completely off the mark, so her performance was only so-so, but at least she successfully transformed the ferret into a porcupine, and transformed it back before the quills exploded. .

On Wednesday, Potions exam, Lola felt that her quill was going to be crooked. She successfully boiled the anti-itch potion into a deep blue color, but there were some impurities that had no time to filter them out.And Tully next to her was almost crying because he accidentally overdosed the earth dragon vine juice again.

The astronomy theory test on Thursday morning went very well, and Lola got the names of all the moons of Jupiter correct, but she had to wait until evening for the astronomy practical test, so she changed to the divination test in the afternoon.

There are not many students who choose divination. Professor Lemon stood in front of a huge and blank crystal ball and signaled the students below to draw divination props by themselves.

"It's not difficult for you." When Lola came to the stage to pick up the tea cup she had drawn, Professor Lemon winked at her.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Lola and all the fifth-grade students came to the edge of the Quidditch pitch. The whole field was bathed in silver moonlight, and there was a slight chill in the air.Lola set up the telescope and began to fill in the blank charts that had been sent to them.

For a while, except for the rustling of parchment, the mechanical sound of many telescope adjustments, and the sound of unknown insects, the surrounding area was extremely quiet.Examiners wander among the students as they record the exact positions of the stars and planets they observe

Half an hour passed, and then another hour passed, and the lights in the distant student tower windows slowly went out, and Lola marked the constellation Canis Minor on his chart, just as he put his eyes on the telescope and readjusted. When focusing on Venus, a few familiar howling wolves in the distance attracted her attention.

"It's 'Watcher'." A boy next to him said softly.

Lola immediately adjusted her telescope and looked at the black spots far away on the cliff.

"Okay, stop whispering and continue the exam!" The examiner said softly.

Only Lola stared at the quill suspended on the parchment. Her figure was illuminated by the moonlight, and even her shadow became quiet and delicate.

Friday's Ancient Rune is an elective course, and only Lola, Adrian and Vichy signed up for the class. Lola is better at telling stories in fluent Wild North Elvish than depicting ancient and complex elf fonts.

"I heard from Manninger that you can also register magic?"

It is not easy to sing the tune of the elf poem. Lola tried her best to control the pitch, and cleverly avoided the extremely difficult jump, and sang the original beautiful and sad "Ballad of the Night". Enron's quiet personal style.

"Not bad." The invigilating examiner nodded, and then scored in the record book.

As soon as Lola walked out of the examination room, she ran into Vichy who came from another examiner.

"what do you think?"

"Should be able to pass."

To be able to pass is actually the minimum goal of most candidates-it is too annoying to have to make up the exam if the exam is too bad!

On Saturdays, Lola did not take arithmetic as an elective, so she was rarely free.

After staying up all morning, Lola finally got up to find the portrait as a training partner, and by the way, took the dragon horse, who was already suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, for a ride.In the afternoon, she took out the letter from Hogwarts from the post office. In the letter, Sally Ann gave a lot of instructions, and even submitted all the questions from the UK last year.

Holding the principle of 'rather killing mistakes than letting them go', Lola spent the weekend trying to memorize the questions.

On the Monday of the second week, the herbal medicine exam was quite difficult. After the complicated theory was over, many people sighed.In the afternoon, they were taken to the greenhouse to harvest the hemp. If it weren't for someone watching, Lola would have pulled the plant from the ground with too much force.

It is worth mentioning that Ronnie Morphy was bitten again by the dada worm.His fingers were bleeding, and he had to leave early and report to the infirmary instead.

The next morning, when Lola saw him again during the history of magic exam, the guy's right hand was bulging, and the skin inside was festered and swollen—fortunately, this didn't prevent him from writing as a left-hander .

"Ah... so hard! I always confuse time with some options!"

Listening to the complaints from the people around her, Lola was glad that she had read the question collection sent by Sally Ann. Among them were several questions and answers about the 'Wand Regulations', the 'Secrecy Act' and the 'International Federation of Wizards', and the questions on the paper. exactly the same.

In the elective course exam in the afternoon, Lola and Ryoma cooperated tacitly, gracefully stopped and turned sharply with difficulty, and won the praise of the examiners, and easily got a high score.

Next, Wednesday morning's 'Dark Magic' defense exam covered almost all known white magic spells, and in the afternoon practice exam, Lola's breaking and defense spells were all pretty good—especially in the When she had dealt with the boggart, it had barely revealed a trace of its robes from the shadows before it was scattered by the banishing spell.

"It's great! It's very neat! It's the same as the purification spell before, and it has a strong effect." The white-bearded old wizard nodded, and then seemed to think of something, "Principal Sean seems to have mentioned that he once taught you The Patronus Charm, isn't it? I think it's a perfect bonus for that."

Lola held her wand, and as she waved it, cloud-like silver jellyfish appeared in the sky above the auditorium, attracting other examiners to look over.

……

When Lola stepped out of the auditorium with brisk steps, those students whose names had not been called all surrounded her.

"Lola, how is it? Is the content difficult?"

"Why did it take so long? They don't want us to play all the white magic in the past five years!"

"you are right!"

Lola shrugged, and the latter wailed.

On Thursday morning, it was still the black magic theory exam, but this time the content was much more profound and "evil" than the previous day, such as the definition of the magical magnetic field of the bloodthirsty curse, the seven classifications of curses, and more. Another example is to write down the black magic that can injure people (at least ten) other than the three unforgivable curses... In short, these questions and answers are absolutely restricted, and they are placed on the test papers of other schools It's almost inciting minors to commit crimes—but in Durmstrang, it seems to be quite normal—but candidates must fill out the answer sheet in a special magic-proof space to avoid unnecessary accidents.

'Black magic' is not allowed to be used at will, so the practical class in the afternoon has become the evaluation record of the students' comprehensive magic value data. Although this is boring, it is related to academic records, so everyone is still cooperative.

On Friday, Lola left the exam room after completing a magical still-life painting with vibrant colors.

The warm summer breeze blew in through the window, and the drooping silver hair swayed beautifully. She stretched herself and felt relaxed—the exam was finally over!

Nizhny Novgorod Romanov House

In the garden with lush vegetation, the brown-haired boy is leaning on a comfortable rattan chair. If he ignores the plaster bandages on his arms and legs, he looks like he is enjoying the summer—provided that the glass bottle in front of him is not covered. Shaking back and forth, spilling all the soda inside on the skirt of the shirt.

"Alexey, you're stealing drinks again." Matvey approached slowly, tapped the wand in his hand, and the soda bottle disappeared, "Didn't the therapist say that the formula of the bone growth agent and many things are different?" Xiang Chong, don’t you want to recover quickly?!”

"I'm thirsty." Alexey's face was full of annoyance at being caught, but when he saw the figure behind Matvey, he almost jumped out of his seat, "Victor ?” He said in great surprise, “Why are you here!”

"Of course I came to see you." Viktor Krum said with a smile, "How is the injury?"

"It's nothing serious..."

"The arm bones of both hands are cracked," Matvey interrupted Alexei, "the knees were shattered, the spine was knocked in half, the ribs were almost broken, and he was hit unconscious by the curse." A week—if that's all right, thank goodness."

"Well……"

Faced with his elder brother's mocking tone, Alexei was a little uncomfortable. He wanted to scratch his hair at first, but after realizing that the hand that was putting the plaster could not reach his head, he put it down embarrassingly.

The seventh graders in Durmstrang will go to the off-campus examination room for the ultimate NEWTs test, and this year is no exception, but they did not expect that the examination room will be attacked by unknown people-the whole ground suddenly collapsed, the magic barrier was broken, and those horrible black magic Then he attacked head-on and covered his face, the scene was thrilling and extremely dangerous.

After listening to Matvey's words, Viktor's face was serious. He knew very well what the injuries in these parts meant to a Quidditch player, but the person involved was relieved——

"Actually, as you all know, the old injury on my body has not been able to play Quidditch for a few years... I originally wanted to take advantage of the internship opportunity to be a substitute batsman for the Grozisk Goblins. If I was lucky, I would say Maybe I can still show my face in the World Cup...but it seems good to come back early now."

Alexei's self-comforting words did not improve the faces of the other two people present. Matvey said bitterly, "It's all about those damn Death Eaters, and Aurors with a troll brain. , if they weren't stupid and useless, how could such a thing happen!"

Even when the old devil Gellert Grindelwald was at his best, he didn't have the guts to provoke Durmstrang repeatedly.

Viktor was silent for a while, and then said, "This accident is aimed at Durmstrang again? I remember that similar things happened a few years ago-could they still not give up?"

This 'they' refers to the joint Ministry of Magic of the three Nordic countries.

"I don't know, but I'm sure those guys who play politics want to take over Durmstrang, I'm afraid they have to wait until the next life."

"That's right!" Alexei waved his fist (or, to be precise, the cast on his arm) in school spirit.

Matvey and Viktor took the opportunity to chat about current affairs and politics for a while. After the 'heavy' topic came to an end, Alexei suddenly said, "Well, Viktor, did you come today..."

"I can't do without you."

Viktor took out two tickets for the special seats from his pocket with a face of resignation - Bulgaria's Vracha Eagles VS France's Quiberon Wrangler Quaffle - the best position, the best The field of view, coupled with the cover of the commemorative edition of the package, is hard to buy even if you have money, and it is really hard to find a ticket-and here are two!

"Great, buddy!" Alexey happily took the ticket, "I got hurt this time, it's worth it!"

"..."

"..."

Viktor and Matvey looked at each other, and then they turned their heads tacitly, ignoring the young man who was smiling like a fool and limped back to the room.

"I remember you mentioned last time that you will go to Siberia to inspect the mining area in mid-July. Why did you suddenly change your mind to watch the game?"

"That's true," Matvey opened two cans of beer and handed one of them to his friend, "so this kid is not with me—" He lowered his voice and whispered, "But I guess, it should be a girl."

"Girl?" Viktor raised his thick black eyebrows, "Have you seen it?"

Matvey shrugged, "He even hides it from me, and he doesn't know which lady it is from... By the way, what are your plans recently?"

"Me? Apart from competition, it's training."

"Ivano's magazine wants to publish a special issue of international stars, and I would like to ask when you have time."

"After the league game in July, I have to go to England, and I should have it before that."

"Then I'll go and talk to him, but then again, why do you want to go to England? Could it be..."

"It's not what you think." Viktor shook his head with a smile, "Fleur Delacour sent a wedding invitation, and I just took this opportunity to take a vacation."

"That Beauxbaton who participated in the Triwizard Tournament?"

"Yes, it's her."

"I heard Dimir talk about her, the French veela married the British potato? Ha, another early marriage." Because he was recently forced to marry by his elders, Matvey will automatically switch to ' taunt' mode.

"You're getting better, right?" Viktor took a sip of beer, "And your 'cousin'?"

"Don't put me and Grace Cyril together, buddy!" Matvey wanted to cry without tears, "I have only had 'awe' for her since I was a child, and besides, 'bride-bred' things like that It is a tradition of the Vietinghoff family, and there is no semicolon in the entire magic world."

"Heh..." Viktor rarely smiled, as if he had returned to his school days.

"Next time find a free time, let's get together together."

"Okay."

The author has something to say:

The owl exam is finally over~~The author is about to cry~Although I borrowed from the original book to write the journal, but looking back at the details of my previous farming texts, I still feel tired~~It’s the first time that BS wrote such details by himself What are you doing~! !

×××××

Because Lola's surname is sorted first, she basically has no experience of waiting and trembling, only the realization of early death and early death~

Regarding the course, the author should have missed something, right? ! !

Durmstrang's courses like "Magical Creatures" and "Primary Medical Care" are all elective courses ------ Lola didn't take them, so the grades are probably not as good as those good students.

× × × ×

Eddie: You mean me?

Lola: Next semester, I won't compete with you for the selection of student council president.

Adele: I have to think about whether to participate or not. Too many things will affect the relationship

Pierre & Lola: ...

The second half of the chapter has been changed

The two Russian brothers came out for a walk, and brought Viktor by the way... Actually, I like him quite a bit, why doesn't Hermione love him?
