HP's Adagio Minor

On the other side of the corridor, a group of people approached. The leader was a slender young man with long black hair tied neatly behind his head. His face was expressionless and looked a little indifferent.Matvey signaled all the freshmen to keep quiet, and then stepped forward to salute: "Senior Mandeln, good day!"

The other party nodded slightly, and the aristocratic style was undoubtedly revealed, "There seem to be more freshmen this year than in previous years."

"Indeed." Matvey replied respectfully.

"Cousin, let's go." The boy next to him muttered dissatisfiedly. He was wearing a snow-white dress and looked about the same age as Lola.

"Be quiet, Wolfe."

"But……"

"Master Ram, you have just transferred from another school, and you probably haven't visited the 'Black Magic Academic Research Association'. If you are interested, we can take you..." Several students surrounded by the two said enthusiastically They all had shiny Student Union badges pinned to their collars.

This group of 'shining elites' brushed past Lola and went straight into the room at the end of the corridor.

"Hey, Romanov, remember to step aside from now on!" The student who walked at the end turned his head and said in an unfriendly tone, "Don't let these chattering newborns bump into Master Ram."

"Pay attention to your words, Wolf." Matvey was still polite, but he did not back down.

"Hmph, what's so great about a prefect, why don't you have to greet some unremarkable guys." The man thought about it, and almost bumped against the door frame.

"Fat pig, I tell you to walk without looking at the road." Someone said something, and everyone laughed.

"Ignore them, bunch of snobs."

Afterwards, Matvey talked about the school's student union system - this is a student group with the most rights besides the school board and the principal, responsible for order and norms in the school.Members who join the student union will not only have certain generous benefits, but also enjoy exclusive access to tea rooms, restaurants, and dormitories. After being promoted, they can also join high-level societies such as the 'Black Magic Academic Research Association'.

"The 'Black Arts Academic Research Association' only recruits students with outstanding talents and abilities, and the number of new places for each semester is fixed... The one we met just now is Heinrich Mandeln, the current student council president and black magician. The president of the Magic Academic Research Association, known as the 'new star in the magic world', he has a very high status in the school."

From Matvey's fiery eyes, we can see his admiration for this outstanding man.

After visiting the plant greenhouse, Matvey announced that the freshmen can go back to the dormitory to rest on their own.

"You are not allowed to hang out outside the dormitory after 10 o'clock every night, and you are not allowed to leave the campus during lunch time. By the way, there will be a school assembly tomorrow morning, and the student cafeteria will be closed more than usual... Be careful!" The lacquer was thrown from the air, and before everyone had time to react, one unlucky guy was hit in the back.

"All petrified!" Matvey quickly pulled out his wand, and the scrambling sphere fell to the ground.

"Tork, are you okay?" Lola asked worriedly. If the boy hadn't just stood in front, she would have been hit in the face—Merlin, just thinking about it hurts so much!

"No, nothing." Tork blushed, and wanted to stand up but gritted his teeth in pain.

"Hey, has anyone seen a ball?" The broomstick that followed fell to the ground, and a dirty boy jumped from it. "I see it seems to be coming in this direction."

"Alexey," Matvey said angrily, "how did the Bludger come here? It's not close to the training ground!"

"It's just a new trick," Alexei scratched his head, "Matvey, since I just joined the team, don't sue me."

"A warning." Matvey glared at him angrily, and then grabbed the arm of 'unlucky guy' like a chicken, "I have to take this new student to the infirmary, I hope I didn't hurt any bones... Alright, the others are dismissed."

The freshmen dispersed noisily, everyone protected their heads and looked around from time to time, for fear of experiencing another sudden attack.

"Where did he get hit?" Alexey was a little embarrassed. In fact, he didn't expect the Bludger to fly so far and hit an innocent, defenseless first grader.

"Back," Lola replied.

"Back, oh, it sounds really painful... eh?" Alexey's eyes widened, "Merlin! I'm not mistaken, this, this is not... Matvey, why didn't you tell me Baro Miss Deas is here!"

"Didn't you already see it, remember to send her back."

"But the way I am now..."

"Don't keep the princess waiting, sloppy!" Matvey waved his hands, ignoring his younger brother's jumping feet in anger.

Lola watched the brothers interact amusedly, "Hey, Knight."

"Hey, long time no see."

After greeting each other, the two headed back down the perforated colonnade—Alexey holding the Bludger (which weighed ridiculously petrified) in both hands, and Lola helping to carry the broomstick.

"I threw my wand in the dressing room, otherwise the spell can be undone directly."

"Sorry, I can't help you."

"It's nothing, you just entered school." Alexey noticed that Lola seemed to be very interested in the broomstick in his hand, so he talked about flying lessons, and soon the topic turned to the Quidditch team. Fortunately, Lola also knows a little bit (influenced by Sallyanne's fanaticism), which makes Alexei speak more enthusiastically.

When he reached the entrance of the student tower, he still seemed unsatisfied.

"I'm here, thanks! By the way," Lola asked. "What's the school schedule like? I'm worried I'll be late tomorrow."

"Then I'll look for you tomorrow morning, anyway, we all live very close together." Alexey volunteered, "I can accompany you to the restaurant, and then take you to the classroom, and you can even sit on my broom and go to physical training I don’t think Matvey took you to visit the field, the student club and the animal riding hut.”

"Sounds really good!" Lola originally wanted to decline, but was very interested in the beast riding cabin. "Will it be too much trouble, maybe I can visit it myself?"

"Don't bother, don't bother, as a senior, you should always help your junior." Alexei blinked mischievously, and his brown eyes were full of smiles.

"Alexey?"

A calm male voice interrupted the two of them talking and laughing. The senior student in black was riding on a broomstick and looked down at them. Because of the backlight, Lola couldn't see his face clearly. She just thought he should be a very serious person. , "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I..." Alexey looked at Lola helplessly.

"Senior, I'm just passing by." Lola said, "I happened to meet Senior Romanov, so we chatted for a while."

"Uh, yes, that's it." Alexei nodded quickly, gave Lola a grateful look, and then said, "Captain, I didn't bring a wand, so..."

'Captain' glanced at the Petrified Bludger in his arms, took out his wand and swung the Bludger into the sky, "Follow quickly, everyone is waiting for you."

"Yes!" Alexei quickly stepped on the broom and waved to Lola.

Lola watched the two of them fly to the training ground in the distance before turning around and entering the student tower.

??

student tower? seventh floor

"Girls' dormitory? Do not disturb boys? Violators will bear the consequences."

There was such a brass sign on the door by the stairs, with a bow drawn in red dye.

"Two-headed giant."

Lola opened the door of the room according to the password on the registration form, and then changed the new password again.

Just when she was about to take a good look at her future residence, she couldn't help being stunned: the gray walls, the mottled wallpaper, the old and damaged sofa with the lining exposed, the fireplace was dirty, and the curtains were full of stains. Dust, creaking floorboards, unidentified black stains all over the carpet...

This is completely different from what she imagined. Could it be that she will live in such a place for the next seven years?

"Merlin, I wish the place where I slept was a little cleaner."

Carefully avoiding the cobwebs, Lola tried to open the hanging bedroom door.

"My dear lady, please wait a moment!" said a high-pitched and thin voice.

Lola turned around, and saw an elf bowing to herself. It was wearing a pillow cover with the Durmstrang logo on it. It was a little whiter than the elves Lola had seen. It was taller and thinner. Wrapped in a black bandage, only one eye was exposed.

"Forgive me, dear Miss Barodis, this is really Cary's mistake." Usually when the elf speaks like this, it will be accompanied by neurotic self-punishment, such as hitting the wall, or grabbing anything to hit the head, but in front of The elf just kept bending over, standing there motionless.

After a while, seeing that Lola didn't respond, it raised its head slightly again.

"This is Cary's mistake. Cary was wrong. Please forgive me, Miss."

"..."

"..."

"Well, I forgive you."

Hearing this, the elf bent her waist even lower, and her nose had already touched the floor.

"..."

Lola stared at the elf in puzzlement until it reminded her bluntly.

"Miss, Kari is waiting for your punishment."

"what?"

"Aren't you going to punish Kari? Kari failed to decorate the room before you came." Kari blinked his black one-eyed, looking a little puzzled.

"Why punish you? Since you didn't arrange it well, then arrange it now." Lola also felt very puzzled, "I don't like punishing others."

"Yes, Miss Barodis." The elf bowed again, but the expression on his face didn't change much.Lola couldn't help thinking just now that if Yuri heard this, it would take at least three days and three nights to be moved. Obviously Durmstrang's elf is not so neurotic.

While the elf was busy, Lola was a little idle, "Are you in charge of arranging the dormitory rooms?"

"Kari does everything like everyone else, and Kari can do everything."

"Oh, well...but why did you say punishment just now?"

"Anyone can punish Kari, as long as Kari is alive, any punishment is fine, miss." Kari paused his hands, looked straight at Lola, and said cheerfully, "You changed your mind, now Just punish Kari?"

"No, no, you continue." Lola quickly waved her hand, deciding not to discuss any 'punishment' with it.

Soon, the dilapidated seventh floor changed its appearance——

Neat handrails, gorgeous golden door frames, and ivory white wallpaper make the whole room brighter; light apricot screens hang beside the elegant arched windows, through which you can see the distant mountains and boundless green forests; the ceiling It is a dome, connected with the wall by a curved surface, with delicate floral patterns outlined on it; the wainscoting on the side is made of exquisite sashes, and the frame is dotted with a circle of gilt, and the middle is lined with light-colored oriental brocade; walnut The floor is covered with gorgeous embroidered piping carpets, which are very Nordic; the dark suede sofa is placed in front of the fireplace, and it must be very warm in the cold winter; the tall drawer at the corner is placed with oriental charm Glazed vases; colorful landscape paintings on the surrounding walls...

In addition, in the study room connected to the common room, the solid wood tables, chairs, and bookshelves are all painted in a stable and atmospheric dark brown, with various golden patterns painted on them, and even the owl cage is inlaid. Decorated with a circle of aqua sapphires.

Every girl is probably yearning for this kind of room arrangement with bright colors, lightness and exquisiteness, and Lola is no exception. She is very happy to visit.Walking into the bedroom, Lola almost screamed. It was as if the bedroom in the manor was moved here. Even the silver-gray brocade eiderdown quilt was exactly the same, except for an extra thick but extremely soft blanket.

"This is all arranged according to Mrs. Barodis' letter request, I hope you are satisfied." Cary bowed again, "All the clothes in your luggage have been ironed and hung in the closet. Today's dinner Carrie I will send you to the side hall, and you will go directly to the restaurant to eat from tomorrow... If there is no other matter, Kali will leave first."

"Wait, Cary, do you know where Mr. von Stillland lives? I mean, I'd like to send him a message if I could."

"I'm sorry!" The elf shook his head, "Kari has never heard of the gentleman you mentioned."

"Are you sure?" Lola asked repeatedly, and finally fell silent.

After eating the meals on the table indiscriminately, and hurriedly taking a shower, Lola lay down on the desk and wrote three letters in one breath, respectively to her father, mother, and Sally Ann.Her new partner looked at the addresses of the three letters, raised her head and yelled a few times, as if asking where they should be sent first.

"Send it all to Riga, let the family owl send it to England, remember to come back quickly with your father's letter."

It was late at night, and Lola was tossing and turning in bed, and the darkness aggravated her uneasiness.

"Oh Merlin, don't let your imagination run wild," she said to herself, "Anos might just be late, I got a letter from him the other day, and I've already written to Dad, and he'll tell me what's going on What's going on..."
