HP's Adagio Minor

??

Anos thought he was dead. He had experienced death before—under the illumination of a mysterious green light, those ghost corpses and alchemy monsters almost disappeared, and the remnant soul of the evil wizard Bios was stripped from his body. In the end, there was only a remnant of strength left—he was not afraid of death, and he even thought that if he died together at the beginning, would the evil energy be completely wiped out.

He looked around, the old wooden floor, the small bedroom with simple furnishings, where is this?He couldn't remember at once.The door of the room was blown open by the wind, and Anos walked through the corridor to the foyer. Only when he saw the guy carrying the luggage clearly did he remember that this was the small hotel where he stayed temporarily to escape the snowstorm before he entered school.

When he walked to the street, the small town of Suvalo was still lively, but no one could see him, nor could he touch anyone... It is said that there is no way for ghosts to leave a certain area—— He subconsciously looked at his non-translucent body.

Along the track of the reindeer pulley, Anos came to the continuous black river valley. The still golden bronze statue of the double-headed eagle stood in the middle of the foyer. In the spacious and bright hall, magic crystals were inlaid densely like stars on the high ceiling... …the corridors, the halls, the sculptures, the portraits… nothing seemed to have changed.

Andos stopped in front of the bulletin board, and the new student union president's appointment notice approved several names he didn't recognize.He continued to walk forward, looking out from the perforated colonnade, the majestic reflection of the Kebne Snow Mountain on the flat and vast ice lake——along the way, students walked past laughing and laughing from time to time, but every face was so strange, The former classroom was full of students who didn't know each other, they were discussing the latest 'flying fast' and comparing it with the old antique 'light wheel' series - Anos looked at their completely different school uniform styles, Feeling a little dazed.

Something seems not quite right.

He kept moving forward, almost every corner of Durmstrang, but no matter where he went, he couldn't find the sense of belonging he once had.Step by step, he walked into the thorn forest, wild vines bloomed in large clusters of flowers, densely packed, almost covering his sight—just when he couldn't tell the direction, a huge stone blocked in front of him—— The stone wall is sunken inward, and a portrait of a figure that is so blurred that it is almost invisible is inlaid inside.

A young but old voice echoed in his mind.

[what are you looking for?]

I do not know.

[You forget the past. ]

Maybe...but not all.

[Then you should leave. ]

what?

[She is not here. ]

……

Anos's mind went blank for a moment, and he blurted out: "Then where is she?"

The portrait didn't answer, but looked at him through the thick fog-like frame—in the purple eyes, a brighter and brighter light bloomed, as if it could break through time and space—

Andos widened his eyes, and he saw the scene in the light group becoming clearer and clearer: it was an old manor with a towering bell tower and a lush garden. In the center of the budding flowers, a familiar figure was leaning on the wicker chair swing. Slightly hanging her neck, staring at the purple flower in her hand...

Lola!

Without hesitation, he walked through the light ball, walked towards her quickly, passed through the grass and the fence, and finally came to her side - he was so close to her, so close that he could smell the faint fragrance of her body , close enough to touch her light-blond braids—but the other didn't feel it.

He looked at her silently, her side face was slightly melancholy, and the purple flowers in her hands were torn off one by one.After an unknown amount of time, a call came from not far away, and she turned her head to meet her happily and eagerly.Anos looked at the person coming, and then froze in place...

He saw another self.

-------------Fanwai? Wheel of Fortune I-------------------

Lola stepped forward, but the look in her eyes was dimmed by the shaking of the head.

"Anos, no, don't go..." She grabbed the boy's clothes and said in an almost pleading tone, "This is too dangerous—please—don't!"

"..."

Anos sighed, turned around and took the girl into his arms, "I have no choice, the von Stilland family has been bewitched by darkness, at this moment, we can't even control our own lives, if we can't stop he--"

"Anos..."

"Lola, you have to understand that I am the heir of the family, and this is my responsibility."

Andos' blue eyes were firm and deep, and when he looked at the girl, his eyes became extremely gentle—but the next second, he forced himself to harden his heart—if he couldn't completely get rid of the Death Eaters, how could he give Lola Happy future?

"I just want you to stay with me, that's all."

The girl's crying made his chest tight, and he hugged the person in his arms tightly.

"I promise, I will come back, and I will always be by your side... After that, I will propose to you, marry you as my wife, and we will have a child, and he will inherit the whole von Stilland Family, be our pride."

"really?"

Lola raised her head, saw the smile on the corner of the boy's mouth, and smiled too, but tears fell drop by drop.

"You really hurt me, girl."

He wiped away her tears and kissed her beautiful emerald eyes glistening with tears.

"Wait for me, Lola."

……

In the end, Lola watched Anos leave, knowing that she had no other choice but to wait at this moment... However, such waiting did not bring about the final reunion.

……

Year after year, time flies, and it has been five years in a blink of an eye.

In the most chaotic and dangerous time, Lola Barodis stayed at home on leave of school. After the death of the mysterious man, she was admitted to Bath Burton to continue her studies.After graduating, she rejected the family marriage. Instead, under the arrangement of Mrs. Ruttenberg, she went to the book club, which is very famous in the wizarding world, and served as the protector of rare books.

People in the world gradually know her because of the "sorrowful ditty" she created that shocks the soul. In addition, she also edited many books on spells suitable for students of different ages.Commentators in the wizarding world believe that the spell control in these books is very distinctive and has substantially improved the original spell skills.A few years later, this series of books was selected as the application range of textbooks by many schools, and Lola herself was awarded the Silver Knight Badge for this reason.

The only thing that is incomprehensible is that she always emphasizes on the title page of the book that she is only responsible for editing and finishing, and the original work is written by someone else, but it cannot be verified, and she never accepts any form of interview to explain this. s reason.

Later, she opened her own private studio and published several academic papers in the past few years-influencing the teaching philosophy of a new generation in the wizarding world.As a result, she was nominated for a global award, and was awarded the highest award by the United Education Association of the Magical World. Famous schools from all over the world rushed to invite her to give a speech at the school and hired her as an honorary professor.

After becoming a famous scholar, Lola's private life is still very low-key-although she never lacks admirers and suitors around her, she is busy with her career and never gets married in her life.

In her memoirs in her later years, she wrote:

[… despite all the 'unusuals' in my life, I have never felt alone...I believe that I have chosen my own path, whether it fits with other people's ideas or not, I will go, always, Always……]

Years later.

Germany? Baden-Wurttemberg

Anos followed behind Lola. He was very clear that she couldn't see him, but he still fulfilled the promise of himself and another self-he accompanied her every day and night all these years, He guarded her side and became her 'ghost' exclusively.

Speeding up his pace slightly, he looked at Lola's side face - she was no longer young, the subtle wrinkles added to her mature beauty, the light blonde hair was tied into a bun, her eyes were still firm, as before.

On the quiet Highway 500, they walked along the dense forest of the Black Forest and walked through familiar paths. They finally stopped in front of a valley-a pile of broken stone ruins in the middle, and a huge deep pit filled with The rain a few days ago - the once magnificent Castle Black no longer exists.

In the long river of history, who can remember this once prosperous wizard clan?

Lola took out a shiny silver medal from her close pocket.She put it on the pile of rocks, then pushed it away a few steps, and stood there quietly in a daze... The sunlight that penetrated the leaves shone down on the light dust, and everything around was so peaceful at this moment.

Lola closed her eyes, and the cuckoo's cry seemed to be heard in her ears, and she hummed the melody in her memory softly——

In the memory, the boy's eyebrows and eyes came to mind more and more clearly. He is still handsome, his hair is like burning gold, and his eyes are blue, like a clear sky.He smiled at Lola, raised the corners of his mouth and stretched his thick eyebrows, turning his coldness into a touch of gentleness...

……

[Your notes, I think, are enough to warrant the approval of Charms Academia to award you a Silver Knight Badge, sir. ]

[Thank you very much, ma’am, but I would like your name to be in the byline as well, let’s add it together. ]

[Wow, that sounds like a great idea! ]

……

Anders was in a trance with Lola, but the screen suddenly jumped.

Lola in front of her eyes has returned to her girlish appearance—the pink and tender face, like the most beautiful rose on the fence—she lowered her eyes, grabbing the petals of the small purple flower time after time.

Anduos couldn't react for a while, until the other party stood up from the wicker chair swing and walked out of the flower garden before hurriedly following him.He followed Lola through the back porch and into the foyer—at this moment, in the fireplace of the living room, the faint green flames had not been completely extinguished, and the surrounding air was oppressively suffocating because of the crackling sparks.

The girl's hand rested on the door frame, leaving some light purple traces—and the person in the room turned his back to the door—the other person opened the heavy curtains and looked out of the window into the endless, dark and turbulent depths. colored sea water.

Looking at this scene, Anos couldn't help clenching his fists.

That is, another self.

……

--------------- Extra? Wheel of Fortune II-------------------

"Are you still planning to leave?"

Lola stood quietly in the shadows, the dim light almost engulfing her.

"Yes."

"No room for turning around?"

"It's about the survival of the von Stillland family. I can't just stand by." Anos put down the curtain in his hand, "Mysterious people are recruiting loyalists everywhere, and the scale of Death Eaters is getting bigger and bigger. Many Grinwald period supporters have joined in..."

"But so what! Isn't it evasion if you don't stop it?"

"I am the heir, and I must consider it from the family's standpoint. I must go."

The other party's words were too calm, Lola couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed his skirt, "Don't forget, Anos, you are underage, so there is no need to attend that meeting at all! Without you, there will be other to help Dumbledore's Army, knowing that you would be left alone."

"I'll be an adult next year."

The argument was fruitless, and the two fell into a brief but long silence.

"Anos, don't go, okay?"

The girl whispered, with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry." Anos looked at her, "I really want to...but I can't, the political situation is full of changes all the time, and if you make a wrong move, you will lose everything...This is not only for me, but also for our future ..."

"No." The girl interrupted him, "Don't tell me 'after', I don't care at all, and those damn Death Eaters." Her voice was thin and desperate, "You know I care Only you—but you always choose to put yourself in danger to gain an 'opportunity'—but I can't see, touch, help, and hear from you..."

Anos was dumbfounded when he heard the words, and only listened to the other party's crying.

"I've been waiting for you forever, waiting for your letter, waiting for your date, waiting for you to propose to me... Anos, I'm an adult, just last week, but you didn't come to my coming-of-age ceremony. "

"that is because……"

Anos wanted to explain to his sad lover, but he didn't expect that the other just kept backing away.

"No, it's not important." She shook her head, "I can't wait for you, Anos, my parents have already made a marriage contract for me, right at the ceremony banquet."

Anos froze, he couldn't believe what he heard.

"The other party is an aristocrat from Moldova, a descendant of the great magister Tesheim. Although we are not very familiar with each other, I believe it will take a long time to get to know each other—by the way, if you can come, the wedding is scheduled for next year .”

……

In the end, the boy left in a hurry, and the flames of the secluded green field engulfed his despair.She sat down on the sofa with a pale face, and finally sobbed silently.When they were young, they had already engraved this ignorant love affair in their hearts, but they had no choice but to give up.

He and she are doomed to miss.

……

At the darkest moment when the Death Eaters swept across Europe, Lola Barodis's wedding banquet was held in the largest auditorium in Riga, and she followed her husband to Moldova the next day.The Tesheim family is not only a prestigious and ancient clan, but also owns nearly half of the country's non-metallic rich mines and rare gemstone mines.

Although wealthy, the Tesheim family is very thin and only the last heir is left. indefinite.

When Lola first married him, the two respected each other like a guest, which was a good start, but it was a pity that Tesheim became unfaithful not long after, and because of his indulgence, he became ill after a carnival night, which was inconvenient died.

When Alexandru had no heir, Lola inherited the title and inheritance of the Tesheim family and became one of the highest powers in Moldova.

At this time, she was not yet 30 years old, she had extraordinary beauty and huge wealth, and the entire European social circle caused a stir because of her. Under the huge public opinion, she never forgot that she was a descendant of Barodis, Be a Durmstrang.Although there are many admirers around her, or aristocratic clans to please, in order to maintain her reputation and avoid rumors and slanders from those who plot evil, she chooses a low-key lifestyle and is busy with charity education in the magic world. She gradually gained a good reputation in the wizarding world.

At the same time, she did not give up the political rights of the Tesheim family, but controlled the leading power in the dark. After ensuring the safety and stability of her own position, she resumed trade with various European countries. The Mandeln family of the 'King of the North Sea', because of the permanent trade agreement reached by the rare mineral 'diatomaceous earth', even made a series of headlines in major wizarding newspapers.

Of course, as time goes by, those thrilling historical events will always pass.With the assistance of her most loyal housekeeper, Mr. Lolmanokov, Lola leads a quiet and semi-reclusive life.

She likes to travel around. On a trip to Belarus, she adopted an orphan whose parents died and raised him according to the heir.After her adopted son graduated from Durmstrang, she gave him half of the estate and donated the other half to other charities.

In the end, time gradually took away her relatives and old friends, and she was also getting old, but she was still grateful for every day's happiness——when she was dying, she suddenly wanted to go back Home - so, his adopted son took her back to Riga according to one plant, and buried her in the island manor left by her parents.

In the middle of the vast sea, the sun rises and the moon sets, and the stars move.

She has no more regrets.

……

----------------The above episode II ends---------------------

??

Andos stood in front of the tombstone in a daze, he touched the withered flowers with his hands, but he felt nothing.

This time he spent his life with her. He witnessed her struggling in the tribal forces, seeing her running around for the trade crisis, watching her fall asleep and wake up in the pain... Whenever this time, how much he thought... But he is a ghost, and he can only experience her different lives in this way, but he can't do anything.

The world turned upside down again, and Anos returned to that beautiful and quiet beginning.

But this time, the garden was empty.

He couldn't help wondering, at this moment, someone seemed to have heard his voice—a vague figure appeared in front of his eyes, with purple eyes, and silver-white hair that grew almost to the ground—with a hazy face, Just like the appearance in the portrait—only the young and old voice sounded:

[This time, she will fall in love with a Muggle, and only after entering the Muggle world can she understand the original sin of this world, gluttony, greed, laziness, whitebait, arrogance, jealousy, rage...]

"No!" Anos yelled at the unattainable figure, "She won't! If giving up the magic power will make her happy, then she will no longer be her... Who are you? If you are the God of Destiny , then you should be merciful to the world, instead of controlling her fate and leaving hardships to her over and over again!"

[She lives well enough. ]

"But she's not happy."

[Everyone must face their own choices, there are no exceptions. ]

"She has no choice! It's all arranged by you!"

[No, I didn't...] The voice paused, [It's all up to you. ]

"I?"

Anos fell into deep thought, and a bold idea emerged——

If all of this is because of him, would it be different if he didn't appear from the beginning?

……

Time and space began to distort, and whiteness rushed towards Anos. He closed his eyes, but saw those memories:

——During the training mission in Asia, he was besieged by a prehistoric beast, the sawtooth and fangs tiger, at the bottom of the cliff, enduring the pain, he kissed the good luck badge she gave him over and over again;

——In the small town of Suolva after the blizzard, he looked at the beautiful ones in the window. After carefully selecting the patterns, he chose a beautiful silver satin with white pearls inlaid with crystal buckles, as dazzling as her smile;

——At the banquet on the eve of Egil's song meeting, the prank made her feel embarrassed, and he stepped forward to rescue him without hesitation, but the admonition afterwards made her red-eyed because of being too serious...

The memory fades slowly, with details and the past disappearing one by one.

The whole world fell into darkness, and Anos felt that he was in the deep seabed. As he continued to sink, the cold water became warmer and warmer.He opened his eyes, and saw the figure that haunted him——

The girl's graceful figure is as dexterous as a murloc's. She swims towards him, with slender limbs, causing warm currents one after another. The wide petticoat looks like a beautiful white jellyfish in the ups and downs; the sun shines through the sea, reflecting the sparkling waves On her soft light-blond hair, which is as thick as seaweed, her eyes are even more serene; she opened her mouth mischievously, spit out a series of lovely bubbles, and then smiled, comfortable and carefree.

Anos suddenly remembered that this was the first time he followed his father to the Barodis Island Manor, and he was trying to play with the underwater telescope to relieve the discomfort of seasickness. At that time, what he saw through the lens surprised him Endless...

Amidst the pounding heartbeat, he couldn't help stretching out his hand to her——

[I can not do it. ] He said to himself, [I can't bear to give up. ]

Anos held her hand tightly, the water receded at this moment, but thorns grew out of her soft skin in an instant, and the barbs pierced through his palm - he didn't let go, letting the blood flow, over the thorny ground The branches, dripping in the dust, solidified into dark red crystals.

The feeling of blood slowly draining from his body makes one fall into the abyss, but Anos feels an indescribable relief in his heart—he has been redeemed, and he understands that a real von Stilland should do what he says, Fulfill the true needs and desires of the heart, never compromise in any form of dishonesty, unkindness, unwillingness...

Anos closed his eyes again. Before his consciousness became blurred, he seemed to hear a tender and soft child's voice, as if it came from outside the sky, but also as if it was close to his ears:

[The ruler of darkness, Zevesta, planted a seed in the center of the earth. The seed took root and sprouted, and grew into a huge magic tree with dense branches and a tall trunk, blocking sunlight, and the world fell into darkness again...]
