HP's Adagio Minor

??

……

"--will you marry me?"

Standing beside Lola, Heinrich said these words slowly.

There was a rare tenderness in his wise gray eyes, but in them, Lola did not find the unrestrainable and unconcealable love that he had seen before.

He doesn't love her.

Perhaps, this is the original intention of the marriage, to choose suitable candidates for each other, get along in the name of marriage first, and then slowly cultivate tacit understanding and feelings until an heir is born, so that two people, two families, can truly be united A close bond connected by blood, in order to consolidate the common honor and status.

However, such a traditional form of marriage may not be suitable for everyone—at least for Lola, she did not seem so complacent because she had such an outstanding candidate to propose to her.

Lola took a deep breath, and said nervously:

"I, I'm not going to get married right now... You know, I just graduated, I don't want to be like everyone else, I haven't had time to feel that everything is tied up in marriage, and, more importantly... I think I I don't love you, professor, of course, you have always been the senior I admire, from before to now, but I, I... I'm sorry, I can't respond to you."

She wanted to express as tactfully as possible, but her words gradually became incoherent, and finally she had to stop her voice in embarrassment.

"..."

Looking at the girl who carefully looked at him, Heinrich reached out and rubbed her head, as if she was still a first-year junior. He had a relaxed smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be angry because the proposal was rejected.

"professor?"

"Lola, actually, there is something I haven't told you yet - I have already submitted my resignation application last week, and the school board will be able to go through the approval process in the next few days, so I really won't It's 'Professor'."

"You resigned?" Lola's eyes widened in surprise, "Why?"

"Because I want to go to a wider place." Heinrich paused. "It's not easy, but it's my persistence."

Even if he is not the first heir, even if those people deliberately suppress him, he still cannot kill his fighting spirit—he has always had such ambitions, and has been waiting for the best time—the Mandeln family in Iceland has already Started to weaken, so why should you stick to regaining the approval of the Presbyterian Church?Even if he doesn't rely on the power of his family or Mandeln's surname, he still needs to use his own strength to regain glory, so as to justify his name and comfort his parents who were united by love but separated by love.

"Durmstrang has never been weak, senior... Hein, you can definitely do it."

Without the bondage of a marriage contract and the involvement of interests, Lola felt that the young man in front of her was becoming more and more unfathomable—he was so outstanding, so outstanding, how could he allow himself to be wasted in mediocre comfort? !

……

In the next ten years, Heinrich Mandeln fulfilled all the dense deployments one by one. He began to prosper and became famous in the magic world-even though he lived a life of wandering and hiding in the royal family when he was young. His background was criticized by public opinion, but he finally defeated the first heir of the family (his cousin) with his own brains, connections and means, and officially took over the Mandeln Castle in Iceland.

With the approval of the Council of Elders, he was crowned the last 'monarch' of Europe (as far as the wizarding world was concerned), and during his lifetime he returned Iceland to the status of 'King of the North Sea' and pioneered the wizarding world. A new era of maritime trade with Muggles.

It is worth mentioning that the relationship between such an influential figure and the Barodis family has been maintained.In his later years, Heinrich would still invite Lola, who was a grandmother, her husband and children to Iceland for court feasts.

Although Heinrich and Lola did not have a marriage friendship, the ties of fate have been carried on to their grandchildren, creating a beautiful relationship...

Of course, that's all for later, so I won't mention it for now.

??

Flash forward two years.

Lola has never chosen a suitable person to complete the marriage.The parents arranged a lot of blind dates for her, including her grandmother, the cousin of the Finnish Kovalainen family; even Mrs. Ungenard, who has always liked her, intended to send her nephew Alan Tresso Lola declined to introduce him to her - don't forget, the other party was 'Simone's ex-boyfriend', which was really embarrassing.

Mrs. Ruttenberg regretted that Lola could not get along with Heinrich, but respected the decision of the two young people.She has no children, and loves Lola as if she is a daughter. With her good popularity, she has introduced many outstanding young people of the right age to Lola.It's a pity that for Lola, these blind date partners with superior family background and handsome appearance cannot shake her decision by external conditions alone-she doesn't intend to compromise with anyone or anything when it comes to emotional matters .

Because of her persistence, Edgar and Sunderland gradually realized that during the seven years of studying in Durmstrang, their daughter accepted new and more independent ideas - which meant that she could no longer be like other children of her age. Like the noble lady, she regards marriage as the only reliance for the rest of her life-she doesn't hate marriage, but begins to use her best years to enjoy a real life that belongs to her.

Today, the center of the political landscape in Europe is gradually shifting, and the Ministry of Magic of many countries has begun to implement a new joint public case, which adds a new law on confidentiality measures for Muggles, wizards of Muggle descent, and their family members.After experiencing the terrifying influence of Voldemort, many wizards began to reflect on the so-called "pure blood supremacy". But as far as the future development of the magic world is concerned, this is already a new chapter in history.

All of this, Lola has a more intuitive feeling, she served as a special column writer for National Geographic Magazine, traveled throughout Europe during the writing process, and witnessed the transformation of the relationship between wizards and Muggles.And this magazine is published in both the wizarding world and the Muggle society, and took the lead in seizing the share of similar periodicals. It became a favorite of many lovers of nature, biology, humanities, and photography.

During this period, Lola also published her own collection of novel illustrations. Speaking of which, I have to thank "Mrs. Goldstein" for her strong support-since she married Anthony, she began to devote herself to helping underage children in Europe. Better, better educational books for children, little wizards.And with the joint shares of the Goldstein family and the Toning Poxen family, a special youth publishing house was established, and in accordance with the new regulations of the Wizarding Education Department, it began to uniformly print the textbooks required for all magic schools.

The old-fashioned old Mr. Toning Poxon has quite a few words about Sally Ann's settlement in England, but Uncle Finn is very open-minded. He solemnly declares that as long as his daughter is happy, the inheritance of the family business can be completely left to Mrs. grown-up grandson.Mrs. Toning Poxon had no objection to this. With a strong body, she spent a lot of effort to make a lot of blessing magic charms for Sally Ann and Lola, which were filled with 'husband's loyalty' and ' The rune of "Successful childbirth" made the sisters dumbfounded.

As for the others, Graham and Linda had another daughter, baptized Kanaier, and the family of four still lives in London, England.Although little Philomena is only 8 years old, she already looks forward to the life of studying at Hogwarts, looking forward to the arrival of the owl at home every day.

Since his graduation, Janis has made a lot of achievements in the small stationery workshop he invested in. Although as far as the parents are concerned, he is still a bit incompetent, but because of his 'honest' character (actually, Soft-eared, easy to deceive), won a reputation for generosity in the social circle, and also made the name of the Barodis family more and more famous.

As the heir, the parents chose a noble lady of comparable family status as his wife according to the standards of the future mistress of the family.Nowadays, many people don't like this kind of arranged marriage, and Janis did the same at first, but as he got along gradually, he began to be satisfied with his wife's virtuousness and ability.

In France, Simone and her siren boyfriend became fashion pioneers in Paris with their outstanding artistic intuition. Trendy clothing and jewelry full of design and beauty are sought after by a large number of Muggles as classics.The two have been in a stable relationship so far, and finally met their parents before the spring break. The second aunt almost fainted after seeing the fishtail of the prospective son-in-law, but the French are born with a deep respect for romantic love, and she finally gave her blessing The two fell in love and began to actively prepare for the wedding.

Last month, Mary married her childhood sweetheart. Marco and Leo kept their faces straight throughout the wedding. In their eyes, this sister (sister) husband was too ordinary in terms of family and appearance.If it weren't for their younger sister (sister) who smiled from the bottom of her heart because of happiness, they wouldn't be reluctant to accept this new member of the family!It wasn't until after watching the ceremony that Lola suddenly remembered that the groom's family had a prominent status in Muggle society, so it could be said that it was not ordinary at all!

Of course, there are many other things. Lola learned about it during her travels. For more than a year, she has traveled to many places, including acclaimed scenic spots, uninhabited nature reserves, and many legendary Magical creatures, but also witness the ever-changing creativity of Muggle society.Now, she has fully enjoyed the life of traveling. She is exploring everything in the whole world and gaining knowledge and fun from it.

Germany? Baden-Wurttemberg

[…Baden-Baden means 'bath' in German, and in this spa town built along the Ous River Valley, there are two most famous Roman baths: Carakal bath, based on the Roman bath Emperor Caracalla once had a visit to the hot spring for treatment, so it got its name; the other is the Renaissance-style Frederick's Great Bath, which was built in 1869 and took 8 years to complete...]

On the third-floor terrace of the resort hotel, a young woman is leaning on the railing, her long blond hair is loosely braided, the bohemian skirt hangs down to the floor, under a big wide-brimmed straw hat, a pair of emerald green eyes , overlooking the bustling central square of Baden-Baden under the afterglow of the setting sun.

It is unbelievable that on the tea table behind the girl, a quill pen is writing vigorously on the parchment that is automatically spread, and the lines of writing appear quickly, clean and beautiful, as if there is an invisible and transparent hand writing So—Lola tapped her wand, held up the glass with the other hand, and took a sip of the crimson Baden cocktail. The deadline was approaching, and she had to send the manuscript of the new issue back to the magazine as soon as possible.

After accepting an appointment for a dual-proposition column of [Travel Like a Muggle/Wizard], Lola started her vacation trip.After staying in South France for several weeks and visiting several important cities, she crossed the Rhine and entered Germany in the Muggle way, taking an amazing and convenient means of transportation (airplane).

"Tuk-tuk-"

A knock on the door interrupted Lola's thoughts. The quill shook its feathers, jumped into the ink bottle and stopped moving. The parchment was rolled up and gently fell back to the table.

"Please come in."

"Excuse me, Miss Vance, your dress and shoes."

Zella Vance, is the pseudonym Lola uses in her novels and magazine columns.In order to avoid trouble, wizards usually don't use their original names casually in Muggle society. Therefore, Lola registered a new Muggle identity with this random pseudonym.

And tonight, as the best-selling novelist of the year in Europe, she was invited to participate in the New Century Symphony Concert in Baden-Baden's 'Banquet Hall'.After that, she will choose to stay in Germany for a while, and then continue her itinerary to Milan, Italy.

The hotel waiters in Baden-Baden are simple and enthusiastic, and they are never stingy in giving some reliable suggestions to those who come for vacation.

"...if you're heading south, you can take the 500 through Holness Grind Mountain, which is part of a national park, untouched by outsiders for a century, and is a popular tourist attraction... Mountain The Mumer Lake at the foot is also very beautiful, and everyone who comes to the Black Forest should experience the original natural scenery..."

……

After the waiter left, Lola unfolded the roll of parchment on the coffee table, corrected a few misspelled words, and then put it in an envelope. She blew her eagle whistle—not long after, a red-tailed eagle owl came out of the woods. out, and landed firmly on the windowsill.

"I'll leave it to you, Dirio."

The red-tailed vulture owl made an intimate cooing sound, then flapped its wings and jumped into the air.

The sunset has not yet faded, and the blue night sky has already lit up the stars. Lola looks at the distance of the town, the black forest framed by dense pine and fir trees—the top of Holness Grind Mountain has been covered by dense Shrouded in mist, the mountains adhere to the magnificent and deep, dark green texture, calling deeply and silently like a dream.
