HP's Adagio Minor

??

Latvia? Bay of Riga? Barodis Island Manor

In the early morning, the sun is rising, and the endless sea level reflects the morning glow that covers most of the sky. Waves of white waves rush onto the beach, playing a soothing and gentle movement. Small sand crabs poke their heads out of the sand cave , spit out a series of lovely bubbles... everything is so peaceful and beautiful.

The brackish sea breeze blows over the silk curtains, morning tea, milk jug and dewy champagne roses are placed on the small round table by the window. Light.

Lola was leaning on the bedside to read, and before she could turn a page, there was a familiar, thumping sound—Yuri was hitting the wall again—it sounded like it was because the steam in the kettle was too full, and it was so smoky that just Sliced ​​cheese on a plate.

She sighed helplessly, almost every morning the house elf would hit the wall a few times to punish herself for not doing it perfectly... Whenever this happened, it made people miss the early morning in Durmstrang—at least there The elf is not so neurotic.

Lola sandwiched the flower swab into the thick pages of the book, and put it aside, then got up and opened the closet, and picked out a simple and comfortable dress from a large pile of lace-covered clothes to change into.

Since graduation, Lola has spent most of her time in the manor, which is completely different from the feeling of spending winter and summer vacations at home in the past - at that time, there were many homework, papers, and extracurricular practices, but now she has completely returned to Once a 'lady' in life.

Every day, she can arrange what she wants to do as she likes, painting, singing, practicing spells, diving, surfing, or go shopping in the old streets of Riga, drink some Muggle soda... She is an adult, and her parents have no She was so strictly controlled in the past, so it is not an exaggeration to use 'vacation' to describe her recent life.

However, after experiencing the busy life of the student union and a series of thrilling adventures, such a life without any goal and pure enjoyment made her feel a little uncomfortable—after graduating from Durmstrang, she There is an urgent urge to establish a foothold in the wizarding society with one's own ability.

Just as unaccustomed to her is Dragon Marvilles. This spiritual beast doesn't like hot weather. Although the climate in the Baltic Sea is not too high, it prefers to spend the whole day in the water instead of flying. inside.

??

When Lola came down the stairs, her parents were already at the kitchen table.

"Good morning, Mom and Dad."

"Good morning, Lola." Edgar has been very busy recently and rarely dines at home, but today is an exception.

"Did you sleep well, honey." Sunderland kissed her daughter's cheek, "I asked Yuri to make cheese sticks, it tastes pretty good, try it."

"Okay."

Lola nodded. She opened the seat and took the soup and bread from the dining table on her own. I still knew the rules of the hosts when they were dining, so I tried my best to restrain myself and didn't make any overreactions.

"... In the afternoon, we will take the carriage to Ruttenberg Manor. Before that, are you sure you don't want to follow me to the store?" Sunderland was very dissatisfied with the mail-order brochures. In her eyes, there were only handmade ones. It is best to try it yourself.

"No, mother, I ordered enough clothes from Mrs. Grace's last time. I didn't even wear a few of them once."

"But the fabric is too light and thin. Although it's summer, it's an important occasion after all. If I can..."

"Mom, plain colors and patterns suit me better." Lola added another spoonful of soup to her plate. "You know, I'm not a big fan of social dinners, and I also don't think wearing expensive jewelry Comparing with other people in trendy dresses is the meaning of coming-of-age banquets—compared to this, I actually want to work more.”

"Work?" Sunderland was a little surprised. She looked at Edgar, who asked, "What kind of work?"

"I am submitting articles to a magazine, and I will probably become a freelance writer or illustrator in the future." The magazine Lola mentioned is called [National Geographic Magazine], and she is still an editor at [Spark? Literary Agency] Senior Ivano Frankovsk introduced her to her.

"It's okay, and the atmosphere of doing things at home is relatively relaxed."

Seeing her father nodding in agreement, Lola finished the rest of the soup and wiped it with a napkin, "I'm done."

"Don't you want to eat more?"

"No, Mom."

Sunderland watched her daughter go back to the room, she looked at her husband, her face still couldn't hide her wonder, "I probably can't keep up with the development - freelance writer? Illustrator? Is there such a job? Is it her? Is your pocket money not enough? Just want to work?"

"After all, Lola has grown up. It's normal for her to want to be independent... But I still hope that she can find something she really likes to do than any salary."

"But..." Sunderland hesitated to speak, and it would be good for her daughter to pass the time temporarily. After all, if she gets married in the future, she will also need to learn some housekeeping matters, and it will be even more inconvenient if she works outside.

Riga Ruttenberg Estate

"Edgar! Sunderland!"

When the Ruttenbergs saw their friends, they naturally exchanged pleasantries. Of course, they did not forget to pay attention to the protagonist of this coming-of-age ceremony banquet.

"Lola, darling, you look stunning today!"

"Thank you for the compliment, ma'am."

"Congratulations on graduating from Durmstrang and hope you enjoyed your day."

Letitia looked at the slim young girl in front of her, and secretly felt happy that she had such an ancient family background as the Barodis family, as well as outstanding personal talent and ability, and was still in a school like Durmstrang. Having been educated—such an outstanding lady with rich knowledge is no longer an ordinary little nobleman who can marry with her, but she is just suitable for...

……

After the ceremony, Lola took an opportunity to stay alone in a quiet corner.In the recent period, she has attended many banquets in the social circle. She is very clear that for girls from pure-blooded noble families, after finishing their studies, they are usually arranged by their families to get married.In fact, this kind of coming-of-age ceremony banquet already has the meaning of a traditional blind date, but this method is relatively freer than the marriage according to the order of the parents.

At this time, people on the dance floor had already started dancing, and to Lola's surprise, she saw members of the Hanger family among them.

After the marriage of the Olsen family, Valentin Hanger has become mediocre. Although the family assets have been supported and consolidated to a certain extent, the recent trade crisis has made the family's capital chain tight. He wants to expand in Eastern Europe contacts for better development.

His younger sister, Ronita, was dressed like a lady, and looked plumper than before, but her expression seemed a little depressed.After marrying the heir of a big clan in Lithuania, she took her husband's surname, and her husband treated her well, but the two of them have no children so far—difficulty in having children is common in pure-blood families, but it is inevitable that this affects her life. status in the family.

In contrast, Lilia Hanger seemed much more carefree. She was well-known in the Union girls' school and was a courtesan in the interschool fraternity.As she grows older, she is no longer as domineering as before, but she still does not forget to criticize certain things.

For example, at this moment, she and her female partner are making fun of other people, "Look, those shoulders are too broad... No, how can a person with a plus size wear a hip skirt, oh no, she squatted down, oh, Merlin!"

Lola was not interested in coming up to greet her, and the other party seemed to be quite afraid of her, and quickly moved away when their eyes met, as if they didn't know each other.

Because she came earlier, Lola greeted several noble ladies one after another, until Mary Roja came slowly, and she showed a sincere smile.Speaking of their friendship, it probably started with the first letter Mary wrote to Lola for her brother. Although these two people have been in touch with each other by letters except for a few times during the holidays, but This does not hinder the friendship between the two at all.

"Lola, how have you been lately?"

"It couldn't be more relaxing, how about you?"

"It's not bad, but Leo and Marco often quarrel, and they always do that." Mary smiled gently, "However, Marco finally figured it out this time, and Dad agreed to let him help take care of the family. industry."

"That's good."

"Yes."

A few months ago, Lola met Mary in Beauxbatons. At that time, she was in the midst of being pursued crazily—coincidentally, the person who pursued Mary turned out to be a member of the Pierre family!Although Charles Pierre is Frigot's cousin, Lola really doesn't have a good impression of him, especially after hearing that he lost a wine estate due to a fiasco in a duel... But no matter what, Lola had to lament that the European aristocratic circle is really small, and you can get relatives and acquaintances wherever you go.

Mary came here together with her friend, a lady from a French family. Lola is not familiar with this family, but this does not prevent her from listening to the other party's gossip - for example, a woman who likes to give Miss Verratti who is wearing a cuckold——Lola Di was a little familiar with the surname of Verratti. After thinking for a long time, she remembered that the other party was Charles Pierre's ex-girlfriend, and she used to live in Unger, Austria. In Nader Manor, he fought and danced with Simone.

It's a pity that such a popular figure on campus has now become a veritable socialite in the social circles of various countries. It is said that because her family went bankrupt in the turmoil in South America, and she was unwilling to marry a commoner, she wandered among the rich and powerful. In between, with despicable means, living a luxurious life.

"So, as women, we should not rely on men to live, like Miss Simone de Legris, which is really enviable." The lady of the family sighed, and then asked, "By the way Didn't you say, Mary, that you could meet a cousin of Mademoiselle de Legles here? Where is she?"

"Oh, I think you've seen—"

Lola and Mary looked at each other and smiled.

……

??

After the ancient ceremony, the banquet officially began, and all the ladies were invited to dance. Lola declined the invitation of several young people. She was a little tired of those silently looking at each other with affection, and flirting like simple questions and answers during the dance. , the only thing they know about each other through the ball is family background, appearance and dress... This kind of blind date is really not suitable for her.

Of course, more people are still shocked by the fact that she graduated from Durmstrang.In the relatively conservative and closed Eastern Europe, her family knowledge is still very unusual, and the title of "Dark Witch" is still circulated among her peers. In fact, if Lola has the heart, with her current Her appearance and demeanor can completely become the focus of the entire ball, and similarly, she can also become the first choice for many families to marry.

However, as far as Lola is concerned, she is here purely for a formality, and she is not willing to deal with any false compliments at all.Therefore, amidst the noisy music and human voices, she bid farewell to Mary and the others who were busy dancing, and walked to the corridor outside the side door, but was unexpectedly stopped by someone.

"Lola Barodis."

"What's up?"

Lola looked at Wolf Ram, who hadn't seen him since he lost his memory due to black magic stagnation and then transferred to another school. At this moment, the boy was leaning against the pillar, staring at himself strangely, as if A little hesitant, and a little awkward.

"I need to advise you," he said, "I don't want to use my talent as a springboard. The mainstream of this world is white magic. No matter what, black magic that goes beyond the scope of the law violates the bottom line of human nature..." He paused, "It's the same even if you have graduated from Durmstrang."

Such an arrogant and pretentious attitude made Lola frowned. In contrast, she would rather have a few words with that cheerful and silly guy. However, since the other party has recovered her memory, she has nothing to worry about that's it.

She changed the topic——

"I saw Lilia Hanger looking for you."

Ram's eyebrows twitched. He really didn't like that difficult ex-girlfriend. That's why the banquet was unappetizing—but facing the girl's playful and provocative eyes, at this moment, Ram felt that he could stop. The other party was simply a mistake.

"I don't need you to take care of my business." He gritted his teeth.

"So, me too."

Lola's answer was not polite at all. She will be proud of Durmstrang in her life.

After a brief silence, Lola and Ram passed by, her expression was calm, without any extra emotion—the things of her youth are not pursued until now, she does not need any thanks or warnings , because they were neither enemies nor friends.

……

In the side hall on the second floor, a figure stood quietly in front of the heavy velvet curtain, watched the girl walk along the corridor into a green garden, and slowly put down the wine glass in her hand.

??

The garden of Rutenberg Manor has been rebuilt for several years after the magical hurricane in Lola. Numerous varieties of tulips have been carefully cared for in a warm spring-like environment, and the flowering period is extraordinarily long.Lola leaned down and looked at the butterfly on the golden petals, but found that there was someone beside her.

"Man, Mandeln...Professor."

"Professor?" Heinrich repeated lightly, "You have already graduated, so you don't need to call me a professor anymore, just my first name."

"I'm just not used to it." Lola explained calmly. In fact, she was thinking about calling her a senior just now.

"It's okay, you'll get used to it."

"..."

"Have you had a good summer?"

"It's fine... how's Cary?"

"It has already woken up. After the curse is completely expelled, it will not have any impact on it in the future."

"That's good."

Lola was relieved, she hadn't been comfortable with Cary being in a coma until graduation - it was there just in time to block the dagger and save her life.

Lola raised her head, looked straight into Heinrich's gray eyes, and asked what she had been wondering all along, "...you sent it, right? It's your elf, you subdued it ...that's why it doesn't want to leave Durmstrang with me."

"it's me."

Heinrich didn't deny it. In fact, he was very grateful for this decision—from the beginning of school, he arranged this retired guard elf in the girls' dormitory.

"Fortunately, you're fine."

A gust of wind blew by, messing up the young man's neatly tied hair, but it did not damage his handsome and elegant demeanor at all.For some reason, Lola remembered the foxtrot that the other party danced with Simone-compared with that time, he is more stable now, exuding the charm of a mature man.

Maybe it was because the flowers around were too gorgeous, or maybe the music faintly coming from the hall was too pleasant, but gradually, the two of them fell into silence at the same time, which made the surrounding atmosphere weird.Just when Lola tried to look down at the flowers, almost thinking that she was immobilized by the petrification spell, Heinrich suddenly said:

"You've grown up, Lola, and after this coming-of-age ceremony, you've been able to really make your own life choices, so, Lola..."

He paused,

"--will you marry me"

----------Fanwai? Heinrich HE?【A】-Will love you----------------------

??

"I thought you wouldn't agree." Sally Ann was wearing a light blue bridesmaid dress, and was arranging layers of skirts for Lola.

"That's right, then it's a joke for people to see."

Lola was talking nonchalantly, her attention obviously elsewhere—she kept looking in the mirror to see if everything she was wearing was perfect.

"I'm not talking about that," Sally Ann raised her eyebrows. "Although you haven't told me too much, I know that the two of you seem a little... You haven't dated, have you?"

"You see it?"

"Of course, it's easy, but I'm actually more curious why you didn't hang out with the Russian one, he seems to be more suitable for you, and, your Anos, I mean, the whole of Britain knows that he is fighting for the death eater. What did the gangster do, if it wasn't for him..."

"Sallyanne," Lola interrupted the other party, "I have chosen to marry Hein, and I believe this is the best choice." She brushed a strand of hair back from her head, "Although Anos is very good , but always on the road of sacrifice and devotion, he is a defender, but not only belongs to me, and Alexei... we are not suitable, he has his own insistence, but as it happens, so do I .”

"Okay, okay, you can do whatever you like," Sally Ann shrugged. "But, are you really not going back to live in Iceland? The climate there is much better than that in Greenland, and..."

"Hmm, you're quite gossiping today, my cousin—I think you should think about what you and Anthony will do in the future. He doesn't seem like someone who will marry the Toning Poxon family."

"Oh, Merlin, you only mention such headaches, let's not talk about this." Sally Ann shook her head, "Eh? Wait, where are your earrings? I remember I put them on the edge of the recliner, oh, wait Wait, I'll get it right away!"

Lola responded, she was really tired after a busy morning, she sat on the chair by the window and became dazed.

will i be happyLola asked herself.

Just when she was trying to think about how to make herself happy, she found that there was one more person beside her.

"Hain?"

"You are so beautiful today." Heinrich kissed his fiancée's hand, looking at her beautiful face, he couldn't help but think of the first time she called her senior, she was equally soft and lovely.

"Thank you."

He could see Lola's restraint.

"Trust me, I will make you happy."

Lola looked up in surprise, such a sincere tone was not as indifferent as usual.

"Don't be surprised, I will do what I say."

There was a slight smile in Heinrich's gray eyes.

The Mandeln family, like the Barodis family, stayed away from the war and wanted a stable life, and Lola was like-minded with him. This was exactly the wife he needed.But more, perhaps because of her gentle and tough temperament.

"The engagement is about to begin, Lola..." Sally Ann walked in with the earrings in hand, but saw the two kissing, and then backed out knowingly.

……

--------------Fanwai? Heinrich HE?【B】-The past is like smoke-------------------

??

[…He led the wealthy Stillan family back to the magic world, and its family strength has already surpassed the top ten in Europe, reaching a height almost comparable to that of the former Malfoy family...]

"Honey, take a look at the fruits of my labor."

Lola rolled up her sleeves and held a bouquet of tulips in her fingers. The sun shrouded her body with a fresh dewy breath. "You are reading the newspaper, what does it say?"

"It's nothing special. It's about the new super-nobles——the Stillan family's praise..." Heinrich put down the newspaper in his hand, watched his wife trimming the flower branches neatly, and then inserted the bouquet into the vase inside.

"Newspapers tend to exaggerate a bit. I think it's because of the effect of the alliance between the Stilland and Ongnard families. It's like, uh, advertisements, which are common in Muggle society."

"I also received an invitation letter from the Stillan family."

"When?"

"This Saturday, he invited both of us."

Lola smiled when she heard this, put down her sleeves gracefully and walked to her husband, leaned over and kissed, "Honey, I'd be happy to accompany you to the banquet, but it's not really important to me."

Heinrich accepted his wife's kiss, but his expression was a little subtle, "Honey, I'm a little puzzled. I remember that you and Anos Steeleland were once close friends, and they were inseparable at school."

"It's such a long memory!" Lola sat aside and poured herself a cup of scented tea. "I was only in the third or fourth grade at that time... Oh, I'm sorry, I can't remember."

"So many years can't erase your friendship. This time he made a high-profile return to the European aristocratic circle, so he couldn't wait to invite you and me."

"Hey, I just dated him, but it's been so long." Lola laughed, "Or do you want me to count the ladies you met in the sorority? Let me tell you, I remember them all, the charismatic student council president, the wise professor of charms, and the omnipotent vice-principal."

Heinrich also laughed, only to hear Lola continue,

"No matter what happened in the past, you are the one I married. I like my life now, Hein. I am glad that you can protect me and the children. Our life has not been invaded by any darkness. That kind of adventurous life is not suitable for you." Me, I'm just Mrs. Mandeln now."

"Mom, mom!" A child shouted from outside the door, "Brother stole my stuffed beans!"

"NO, I have not!"

Heinrich watched the two little ones circle around the table, while his wife ran after them, showing a calm and joyful smile.

This is the peaceful and comfortable life he wants, the past is not important, grasp the present.
