HP's Adagio Minor

Before departure, Lola received a package from Stuttgart—a thick magic note, which covered almost all the difficult points of all subjects before the third grade. The owner of the note wrote in the letter, "I may not be able to communicate with You correspond, Durmstrang is too remote and cold, please don’t miss me, I believe you will be able to make many new friends in the new environment, I wish you a happy new semester!”

Lola read and read the letter suspiciously. She really didn't understand what nonsense this friend was talking about, so she could only classify it as a model of "stupid reading".

Durmstrang School of Magic is located in the Lapland area in the northern part of the peninsula, where there are few people and the climate is harsh. Freshmen who enter the school can go to Luleå (Swedish city) to take the school's exclusive cruise ship and enter the inland along the river.

Lola and her parents set off from Riga, went north along the Irbe Strait, passed through the Åland Islands to Luleå on the Gulf of Bothnia.While changing ships, Lola strolled around the port to calm down her irritability due to seasickness, but then she saw a more magnificent ship sailing into the port, looking at the double-headed fire on the sails. Bird school badge, Lola couldn't help worrying about the next journey.

Edgar and Sunderland watched their daughter walk up to the deck.

"Oh, Merlin, she's still so young!" Sunderland looked at her daughter and couldn't help worrying, "Is this decision correct?"

"Don't worry, dear!" Edgar embraced his wife, "Our daughter will be excellent, I promise."

The freshmen were taken to the lounge of the inner cabin. Lola did not share seats with others, but chose a single room.The days of running around made her feel so tired that she almost fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed board.I don't know how long it took until the laughter from the next door woke her up. Lola yawned and continued to lie on the bed.

"Hey, you know, this magic ship can fly and dive, that's why we have to be here."

"I know this too. My brother told me about it a long time ago, and he also said that we will dive into the bottom of the water."

"Yes, sneaking north along the Lule River quickly..."

"To be precise, it's the Northwest."

"Okay, Northwest, and there will be stops in several cities along the way, Budden, Harrah's, Wu Olerim... Oh, did you see, the boat floated! We have arrived at Jokkmokk, next It was Porius, and then..."

Lola was infected by the boys' excitement, and she lost all sleepiness. Just as she was listening with gusto, there were a few more footsteps in the corridor outside the door.

"Damn it, there's no free lounge."

"There seems to be more freshmen this year than usual and it's a shame the senior lounge is still being refurbished."

"It's like a way, I don't want to sit with those nerds!" One of them said loudly, "How about this room, hey, open the door for me!" He kicked a few times, and the door made a 'bang bang' sound.

Lola rolled over and sat up, too tense to move.

"Don't be silly Ertz, that's a single room." Another voice said, "I think this one is good, yo, let's talk about it, freshmen."

After a messy sound, the door next door was slammed shut.

Lola approached the door softly, only to hear a few freshmen standing outside the door talking.

"Why should we let them sit, it's obviously our seat!"

"Quiet, Frigo!"

"Okay, okay, I don't cause trouble, but trouble gets me... Are we just standing here?"

"I knew it would be like this. My brother said that the higher the grade in the school, the greater the rights. We are freshmen. Fortunately, we are coming soon. We only need to stand for a while."

"Shall we go next door to find a seat?"

"Are you stupid? It's just a single room." After the knock on the door, the man continued, "Look, the door is closed, and no one wants to get involved."

"Maybe there's no one inside, it's just locked."

Lola held the doorknob, hesitating a bit, not knowing whether to open the door or avoid it.

"Shut up!" came a rude reprimand from the next door.

There was a sudden silence outside the door, and then the man said in a low voice, "The first grade is really annoying, I don't mind teaching them a little lesson."

"Ertz, you're so rude," sneered another. "We shouldn't be messing with freshmen, it would be embarrassing to say that."

"I'm not your coward, that's just dumb, bubbling little dwarfs, isn't it, Boss?"

Lola frowned upon hearing this. These senior students were so contemptuous and rude, and she should be fighting against the same enemy. So she opened the door and whispered, "Do you want to come in and sit for a while?"

??

The single room was very simple, with only a small bed, and the boys barely squeezed together on the edge of the bed. Only one boy did not sit down, but chose to lean against the wall.Lola closed the door and reminded the boys before they could speak, "It's best not to talk, the soundproofing here is terrible."

The swearing from next door set a good example. The boys nodded cautiously, and one of the round-faced boys, wearing a bowler hat and two curls at the temples, gave a friendly smile, "Thank you , my name is Nath Day."

"Tally Dinklage." The boy looked the thinnest, and he was talking nonstop. "My brother is Bruno Dinklage. He is the prefect of the third grade."

"Frigo Pierre."

"Adrien Ongnard." The boy leaning in the corner finally spoke.

Lola reported her name, and then focused on the quarrel next door, not noticing the surprised expressions of the boys.The various curses made her frown, until finally someone said: "Stop, I have a headache." The man said hoarsely, "I'll sleep for a while, remember to wake me up, Hane."

"Yes, Mr. Helk."

The neighbors finally quieted down.

"Did you hear that? It turned out to be them!"

"what?"

"Three people, don't you know?!" Tully Dinklage glanced at Lola in surprise, and lowered his voice, "That's the worst and most annoying guy in school, Helk, ha Well, Ertz, they're uneducated bastards. My brother said, it's best to go out of the way when you see these people, and don't have anything to do with them."

"Not only that, but their family is not very glorious."

"notorious."

"Almost every student has heard about it. After all, everyone often attends social gatherings. Didn't there be a gathering for new students a while ago?" Speaking of this, the boys couldn't help but look at Lola together.

"The surname Barodis sounds a bit familiar." Nath Day tilted his head and thought for a while, the curly hair on his sideburns dangling back and forth, "Where are you from? I mean, we haven't seen you before."

"Baltic Sea." Lola replied, "I don't like socializing very much, so I didn't go to the new student party."

"Oh, no wonder I haven't seen you! Barodis, with all due respect, I always think you look a little strange, probably because you are withdrawn, or..." The boy thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Sissy ! That's right, so you don't look like us."

"Fligo," Eddie Ongnard held his forehead helplessly, "you promised not to talk nonsense."

"Hey! I said something wrong, he really looks awkward." Frigo Pierre almost jumped up, he couldn't figure out why his good friend kept singing against him.

Lola's complexion couldn't be darker at the moment. Could it be that he is a sissy boy because everyone is wearing brown school robes?Or, as a lady, was her appearance so rude that it was misleading?

"'Lola' is a girl's name, that's obvious." Tully Dinklage was puzzled, "It's not 'Lola' or 'Lori', didn't you listen carefully?"

"What? You mean, he's a girl?"

"..."

"Forgive me, he has always had no eyesight." Adrian Ongnard smiled apologetically.Perhaps because Durmstrang has so few girls enrolled, the boys are well-mannered.

Afterwards, the few people exchanged a few words briefly, and the atmosphere of the cold scene gradually warmed up again.

"How do I know, the hair is so short..." Frigo Pierre didn't participate in the topic, but turned his head in embarrassment, and muttered to himself.Lola didn't bother with him, after all, there were many boys with more delicate and beautiful eyebrows than her, such as Wengnard and Anos.

After another dive and surfacing, I looked out through the small window in the cabin, and I could see a wide area of ​​water. The school wheel was driving fast, leaving white waves on the water surface.

"This is the Great Lule Lake, and we are about to arrive at Syolva!"

Nath Day's excitement infected everyone. As freshmen, they all yearned for this famous school, which is as famous as Hogwarts in England and Bathbutton in France—even though its ancient school of black magic is not as good as it is in many people's minds. Than evil incarnate.

Lola's feet were numb from standing for a long time. She stared at the blue lake and couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to jump in and swim.

"The water here is freezing cold, even the hardy chube catfish don't like to stay in it for a long time." Dinklage found a crumpled gray robe from the luggage, "I suggest you all change into this, although it is still summer. At the end of the day, but it is always windy here, be careful of headaches if it blows too much——that's what my brother said."

Lola and the other boys were all wearing windbreakers, brown school robes and gray cloaks. Although the fabric was thin, the color tone looked terrible.Lola couldn't help but miss her pretty dresses, which she didn't think she could dress so well in a place like Durmstrang.

The school boat docked slowly, and Lola and the boys did not rush out, but listened carefully to the movement next door.

"Although this is a bit disturbing to sleep, but we are here, Qi Sai."

"It's noisy."

"The boss looks listless, which is rare. I think he hasn't slept for several days."

"..."

"Why don't you speak? You are not always glib. Could it be that Miss Waugh rejected you? I think you should feed all your profligacy these years to the dogs. Haha, the old flower bushes will cry Runny."

"Stop talking nonsense, do you want those little mice next door to listen to you all the time?"

Several boys exchanged glances silently, and Lola tried hard to pretend that she didn't hear, but she shouted in her heart, if all the boys in the school are so vulgar, Merlin, it's unimaginable.

After confirming that the bad embryos had gone far, several people got off the boat one by one.

"Hopefully they don't come to trouble us."

"Who's afraid of whom?" said Pierre contemptuously.

"My dad said he mailed my unpacked bag and I had to go to the post office first."

"Dai, I'll go with you, and I also have a few packages."

"Adrey, accompany me to the East Plaza. I heard that there is a broom display in the Light Wheel Company store there..."

"Okay."

Several boys who have their own affairs plan to split up.

"I think I'll have to report first," Lola asked. "Do you know where new students report?"

"At the northernmost part of the town, turn around the row of houses and you will see a two-story building with a red roof."

"Yes, that's right! My brother told me about it too."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, see you at school."
