HP's Adagio Minor

??

Linda Coulthard Pritchard is a professional woman who applied to be transferred back to the headquarters from St. Mungo's branch after the British border was lifted to take charge of various post-war trauma treatments.

"Lola!" the two women kissed affectionately. "Are you okay?"

"great."

Going into the heart of the defense of Hogwarts and witnessing the duel between the Golden Boy and Lord Voldemort is beyond description.

"We have been praying, and Merlin will keep you safe." Then, Linda looked at Alexei, "You should be Mr. Romanov."

"You can call me Alexey, madam."

"No, I'm not a lady here, you should call me a doctor." Linda smiled, and after a brief exchange of greetings, she lit the floo net of the fireplace with her magic wand, green flames shot up, and a thin A tall wizard stepped out from inside.

"I would like to introduce. This is Mr. Terry, the Ministry of Magic investigator—"

"To be precise, it is the Department of Irregular Entry Management and Special Investigations. This is a newly established department under the direct jurisdiction of the Minister of Magic." Mr. Terry took over the conversation, "I heard Arthur talk about the specific situation, your courage It is admirable, and its ability is not inferior to that of adult wizards."

"You're being polite." Alexei asked back, "So, maybe you're here to investigate us?"

"Oh, no, a lot of things about the sex period are not in our investigation, and this has already turned the page." The purpose of Mr. Terry's coming here is not for these two young people, just listen to him continue, " I think Principal McGonagall should have told you the situation, and the Ministry of Magic hopes that you can identify a suspect."

"Why us?" Lola wondered. She and Alexei are both foreign nationalities, and they don't know many people in the UK.

"Of course, all of this should have been handled by the intelligence services, but the area is almost half-paralyzed at the moment, which is very bad...I found you because we found a staff cover from the suspect, embroidered with Dem The emblem of Strong's school badge..."

"We'd like to help."

"This is very good, and we can save some detours." Mr. Investigator heaved a sigh of relief. He is a new employee directly promoted from the bottom, and he does not have a particularly prominent family power to rely on. If Lola and the others are unwilling to help, he There was also no way to put pressure on these two young men from Durmstrang.

??

The top floor of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries is probably the most special place. The wards here are all enchanted. It seems that the doors are almost stuck together, but in fact the space inside is very spacious for the convenience of doctors. We conduct comprehensive and detailed pathological research and even on-the-spot experiments on certain patients that are difficult to diagnose.Now, these spacious single wards house a group of insane and unidentified patients, some of whom have been convicted by the Ministry of Magic, while many more have been classified as 'suspects'.

"The symptoms in this area are all similar, and they are usually coma of different reasons. Some people can wake up after several years of treatment, while more people have the same symptoms for a lifetime. However, this is a special case."

Linda pushed open the door, and several people followed her into the room. The smell of potion was strong in the air, as if entering a Potions class—at this moment, Lola suddenly had a feeling The feeling of coming came to her heart, as if she had seen everything in a dream.

The ward was very tidy, with a young wizard lying flat on the white single bed, his eyes were closed and he was still in a deep coma.

Linda flipped through the medical record book in her hand, and there were many lines densely written on it.

"...has been hit by many mixed spells, including the powerful stun spell and the Imperius spell. Surprisingly, there are no visible injuries on his body. Someone may have treated him... There is a large dose of magic in his body The remnants of the medicine may be from the potion that replenished the magic power, or the compound soup... We have to wait until the warding spell on his body disappears before we can make a further diagnosis, and no one can be sure how long it will take."

"The Bureau of Investigation is filing a case, and the Wizengamot Wizarding Court is open almost every day. The Minister stipulates that this series of chores must be dealt with before the end of the month, so we don't have much time." The investigator seemed a little anxious, "We The eyeliner believes that this person is closely related to the Death Eater Luke Wood, but because the other party has died, there is no valid evidence..."

Lola approached the bed rail and easily recognized the man—Moore Tosett and she were students in the same grade, and both were members of the animal riding club.But after the Battle of Durmstrang, he was persuaded to leave, and the family was also suppressed in Germany.

Why is he here?

Suddenly, Lola remembered that day at Hogwarts, the man in black robe with familiar eyes—Lola subconsciously looked at Alexei, and the two quickly and briefly met their eyes, obviously thinking of the same thing .They were both convinced that the man in the black robe was Moore Toset, who, though staying with the Death Eaters, cast a spell to disrupt the battle and allow them to escape—but since then his clear eyes, his precise magic Judging from the output, he didn't look like he was controlled by the Imperius Curse.

Judging from the current trend that Britain hates this man-made disaster, if his identity is finalized as an evil person, a person who helps Death Eaters, or a Death Eater, then the Wizengamot will try him and imprison him in the Deported from Europe after serving his sentence—his life might have been ruined like that.

When Lola was hesitating, Alexey suddenly sighed, "It's hard to judge, Mr. Terry." He spread his hands helplessly, "Durmstrang's enrollment is not limited by nationality, there are indeed A lot—I mean, this gentleman lying down looks German, you know, with a German nose, a German chin...that's easy to judge, isn't it?"

"Perhaps you knew him, then?"

"Oh, let me put it this way, I'm a Russian, and we're not at odds with Germany, so this comatose gentleman isn't my friend."

It's not a day or two for him to want to beat Tossett.

"Besides, I can't identify him as Durmstrang's student just by the sheath."

Alexei's calm expression did not seem to be fake, and the investigator didn't seem to give up, but he looked at the faces of Alexei and Lola with distinctive Eastern European features, and suddenly felt powerless. National borders and problems between races are much more prominent than the contradictions between the four Hogwarts houses.

"I heard that the investigators found him at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, not at the center of the massacre." Linda smoothed things off, "So I personally think that he may have been coerced by the Death Eaters hostage."

"It seems that we can only contact the German Ministry of Magic as soon as possible, but judging from the previous communication, there is no good progress-not long ago, their database was burned by a fire, leaving nothing behind."

"Aha, Germans have this day too!"

Alexey echoed the situation, the investigator had already had enough of dealing with the extremely staid German Ministry of Magic, and couldn't help complaining.So, a Russian and an Englishman began to speak bad things about Germany and Germans from all angles, and they had a good conversation because of this common point.

Lola's attitude towards Germany is much more rational, but she doesn't intend to refute the two.She followed Linda and watched the female doctor examine Tosit. His face was not pale, it could even be said to be rosy, his skin was obviously tanned than before, and there was no trace of haze—as if the person in front of him It's not the same as what you've seen before.

Lola raised her head and looked at the whole room blankly. She didn't understand why she had such weird thoughts.At the same time, a gust of wind from nowhere blows up the curtain hanging beside the hospital bed, and on the white cloth, a faint, almost transparent 'snowflake' flashes on the tulle move.

Lola stared at the hexagon of the 'snowflake', her consciousness seemed to be blurred, a vast white snow field jumped out of her mind, in which the natural laws followed by the watcher wolf clan remained unchanged - the passage of time, It became slow at this moment, only the energy that belonged to alchemy, leaving traces that were so faint that they were almost undetectable...

For a moment, Lola suddenly came back to her senses, she felt someone watching her from outside the door!Guided by her keen sixth sense, she turned her head and saw a figure flashing past the door. She rushed out without much thought—but there was no one in the corridor, and the phantom seemed to evaporate in the air. Fleeting and never showing up.

"What's the matter, Lola?"

Alexei chased after him, and he saw the girl's dazed and confused expression in his eyes.

"It's okay..." Lola shook her head and forced a smile.

Belgium? Ghent University City

The sorcerer who had finished his transformation took off his hood, revealing a young face with slightly curly brown hair, a protruding wide jaw on both sides of the cheeks, a long and narrow nose, and tired but clear eyes.

"Owner."

Bobby the house-elf was stunned for a moment, then bowed respectfully.There is a crucible behind it, and the thick soup inside is bubbling and bubbling.

The young wizard nodded. He took the potion offered by the house-elf. The antidote of the super potent compound decoction was extremely bitter, but he leaned back and drank it unconsciously. Slowly changing in the middle: the face is pale and blue, the jaw line shrinks, the hair color turns from brown to golden, and the blue eyes hide sharpness - Anos is staring at the reflection in the mirror, which he has not seen for a long time own face.

During this period, all his plans were conveyed through Poppy the Elf, Murtosit substituted for him in Belgium to adjust to Muggle university life, and he pretended to be Murtosit, taking advantage of him as Rookwood The identity of a distant relative, lurking in the inner power of the Death Eaters until Voldemort's death.Now that the crisis has dissipated, he will let Torsett regain the new life he wants according to the unbreakable agreement.

Although the plan is risky and may show flaws at any time, 'Murtosit' has lost his wand-although he still has the ability of a wizard, he has forgotten who he is and everything he once was-his name belongs to A 'Forbidden Words', according to the esoteric spellbook of the Stillan family, unless he recalls it by some chance, no other external force can help him. This is a bit similar to Muggle hypnotism, but Has a more stable magic power blessing.

In addition, the potion remaining in Torsett's body will be metabolized quickly before he wakes up, and the files of the German Ministry of Magic were burned for some reason, and there is no written evidence left. The court filed the case, not to mention that there was no murder in Tosit's hands, and it was difficult to find him guilty even under the analysis of the soul.

Anos moved his stiff neck. He signaled the elf to clean up the cauldron and the leftover medicine residue. He took off his cloak and changed his wizard robe into a Muggle outfit. Shirt, trousers, jacket... The series moves familiarly, as if he has been living here.Then, he opened the secret cabinet where the spell was set. There were two wands on the dark velvet backing. One of the ash wands was custom-made when he was in school, but he didn't plan to use it now.He put Moore Torsett's wand into it, and then put another wand engraved with the Crest of Stillland into the pocket of the reformed coat.

After doing all this, he looked around. The single apartment provided by Ghent University to scholarship recipients has the best sound insulation and lighting.With a wave of his magic wand, he cleaned up the messy posters on the wall, then slightly changed the layout of the bedroom, and rearranged the arrangement of the books to make everything more in line with his own aesthetics and habits—after all, he was going to be here Stayed until graduation.

"How long will father be here?"

"About 17 o'clock..."

Anders guessed that his father might have some doubts about Tossett's pretending himself, so he questioned wanting to come to Belgium to visit him. After all, no matter how similar the imitation is on the surface, the difference can still be noticed from the subtleties.Fortunately, after Conrad lost his magic power, he calmly accepted his new Muggle identity, and insisted on taking Muggle transportation for all kinds of trips. Therefore, he still had enough time to make some preparations to dispel his father's suspicion. doubt.

For some reason, Anos had an indescribably complicated mood. He opened the secret cabinet again. This time, there was no longer a magic wand inside, but a magic object of special texture carved from fossilized trees,' Wende's secret key' has been scoured by time, and it still exudes a warm luster.Even though it is such a precious treasure, Anos just glanced at it in a hurry, his eyes stayed on the other side - the disc-shaped metal object is inlaid with white jade, it has not seen the sun and moonlight for a long time, and the entire compass is dim and untouched. lethargy.

The compass is originally a pair. At this moment, is the other one also left in the corner so coldly?

Anos was a little dazed. He remembered what he had seen before——Lola and Senior Romanov were very suitable together. Whether it was appearance, family background, or personality, the relaxed and tacit expression between the two made people feel People envy...they like each other...that's enough, isn't it?This way he can let go of his obsession, can't he?

For a long time, he has been concentrating on other things, and most of the time he insists on going his own way. Only in the dead of night will he analyze his heart and realize what he really wants... His heart has been wiped out by the cruel reality He fell into the shadows, but gritted his teeth and fought his way out... He is no longer the original self, ever since he made up his mind to leave Durmstrang and his former life circle, he has been changing, and Lola seems to be... It's the same - no one will stay in the same place forever - she has also grown up, from the shy and hesitant she used to be to the tough and quiet one now.He was eager to make her stronger, hoping that she would no longer be afraid of other people's gazes, but unknowingly, she had already done it, and even exceeded his expectations—spiritual power and magical power could reach the level of control The level of the hurricane, the cruel power of the forbidden curse was gently displayed, and it bloomed in dazzling brilliance in front of the world... She was no less than him.

The corners of Andos' mouth curved slightly, and the smile with a tinge of relief gradually froze again—it seemed as if something was empty in the boy's chest, and the person who had been treasured deep in his heart was finally gone. Only belongs to myself, the sweetness of the past seems to have been stripped away with the passage of time, leaving only faded memories.

The young man was silent for a long time, which made the elf feel more anxious. The high-concentration potion is harmful to the wizard's body, and it will also have many side effects. Maybe it should add some good to the body to the master's daily diet. Ingredients.

"During this time, you have done a good job."

Seemingly aware of the elf's worry, Anos said soothingly.

"This is what Bobby should do. Bobby should listen to his master..."

Poppy blushed, bowed and stammered.

Amidst the elf's rambling words, Anos let out a breath slowly, and his expression became clear again—forbearance so far, there are still many things in front of him, the secret of the secret key, and the future of Stilland. The development of the family - how to gain a foothold in the wizarding world and the Muggle world, how to be indestructible and indelible to continue the family inheritance... the sharp edge will converge into a permanent light source, and that is the true sense of strength.He wants to be that powerful.

Outside the corridor, a few young people cheered vaguely, the Muggle world always seems to be so lively.Anos wasn't worried that he would be thought to behave strangely, and a little confusion spell was enough to settle those doubts.So from now on, he should also enter his Muggle identity and enjoy the convenience of technology brought by Muggle items that he hasn't touched for a long time.
