HP's Adagio Minor

??

The boy walked into the study, where his father was flipping through the documents in his hand.

"Welcome back, my pride!" Mr. von Stillerland looked tired, but when he saw his long-lost son, the fatigue from his body was swept away, "Have you lost your temper? How is your life in Castle Black? ?”

"It was a bit uncomfortable at first."

Anos followed his father to sit on the sofa, and the elf refilled tea for the two of them.Anos put his hand into the teacup and put a cube of sugar - after living in Castle Black for a long time, any wizard can only be like a Muggle, forgetting the wand and living only with his own hands.

"It's a nostalgia. I used to go there almost every summer when I was a student," recalls Mr. von Stillland. "Not using a wand was confusing at first, but life became very interesting-me and you My two uncles often ride horses through the woods, there are delicious beers in the Muggle villages and towns outside the forest, and at night, bonfire parties are held in the open-air pasture, and the girls send flowers and invite me to dance..."

"But it's different now. Muggle society is changing too fast." After a moment of silence, Anos said, "I read about Muggle society from books. Their 'machines' cover almost all fields and can explore 'Cosmos', surveying the 'crust', their 'science' seems to be another kind of magic, even more so than wizards..."

"Anos!" Conrad said solemnly, "I sent you to Castle Black to ensure your safety, not to let you indulge in the Muggle world."

"I've never forgotten that I'm a wizard, Dad." Anos said sternly, "You said that we should fully understand everything around us, friends, enemies, or anyone who is close to us. I thought Muggles were inferior to us." our race, but now I've changed that."

"'Science' and 'Mechanism'... You said you read it from a book?"

"There are a lot of Muggle books in the attic, and your reading notes, Dad."

Mr. von Stillland had a straight face but a smile in his eyes, "So you are very interested in Muggle society?"

"Yes, there is also the 'machine' in the basement, wrapped in a thin translucent cloth, I found it by chance." Anos said calmly, "After cutting it open, there is this kind of 'instructions' inside, it will Each area was covered in such detail that I just had to bring the 'pieces' together."

"Assembly, Muggle vocabulary." Mr. von Stillland corrected, "I bought it when I was young. Muggles call it 'electric fan'. I remember that there is also 'television' in the mailing brochure." 'Refrigerators'... all use 'electricity', and I heard that Muggles still like to use 'computers'."

"The book says 'electricity' isn't lightning at all, but a source of energy created by the Muggles themselves."

"Amazing creativity." Mr. von Stillland no longer concealed his admiration. He was not a person who followed the rules, and there were too many novel products in the Muggle world, and the speed of their replacement made him People are dazzled, far more promising than the wizarding society.

"We who have magic power are better than Muggles in terms of talent, but obviously wizards rely too much on these, and instead lose their way."

At this point, the father and son have the same idea.

"Dad, I don't think Muggles are as stupid as we stereotype, they also have very powerful power, such as the exploding vase, if it weren't for the protection spell of the family—"

Mr. von Stillland frowned. The vase was purchased a few years ago, and not long ago, an elf found a black object stuck inside the vase, which was incompatible with the surrounding magic waves.Just when Anos was about to take it out, the black object suddenly exploded. If it weren't for the nameless wand in his hand to protect him, I really don't know what would have happened.

Although everything was very strange, Mr. von Stillland didn't want to talk about it with his son. He motioned for the elf to take a long, thin wooden box from the cupboard.

"Speaking of wands, I think it's time for you to have a new partner." Although the original one has been repaired, its performance is not as stable as before. Mr. von Stillland will not allow a defective product to appear in his son's hands.

Opening the wooden box, there is a magic wand lying quietly inside. The body of the wand is tied with deep purple satin. The small card on the side reads - 'Ollivander Wand Boutique' - Extra Walnut? Crown Unicorn Mane Hair? Twelve and a quarter inches.

"We bought this in England a few years ago, remember?"

Anos nodded, he still remembered the incomprehensible words said by the weird old man who sold the wand:

"...Smart child, although it is sometimes arrogant and difficult to control, it is obviously tamed because of you. It will obey any instructions you have, but you have to remember that any bad habits will affect each other..."

Anos took out his wand. The walnut body was hard and not easy to bend. He waved it lightly, and the smooth magic ripples moved silently in the air.

"I'm glad you've had such a fulfilling life this past year," Mr. von Stillland watched with satisfaction as his son transformed the teacup into a glazed vase with a decorative handle, and the pattern on the bottle would change—— This is a Transfiguration lesson that fourth-year students can master.

"Classroom knowledge is not difficult for you, but you should meet more peers and expand your social circle. I have applied for a reserved place in Durmstrang for you, and you can enroll at any time."

"Before that, father, I would like to visit my grandmother's house with my mother for a few days.

"Of course, they'll be glad to see you.

After Anos returned to his room, he went straight to the bathroom - in Castle Black, washing is a time-consuming and laborious task, there is no magic to make hot water, only a few old elves Burn slowly.

It took a while for Anos to come out of the steaming bathroom. He wiped his wet hair and looked around.

The items in the room remained intact, maintaining the same appearance as before he left, and even the placement of the books remained unchanged.After being injured in that accident, his father proposed to let him go to Castle Black to recuperate. To be on the safe side, he was cast with various protection spells and anti-search spells, so that no one could find him, nor could he be mailed. Deliver dangerous magical (Muggle) items to him.

But as a big family like von Stilland, such a method of avoiding the world must not be disclosed to others unless it is absolutely necessary.So, a few days before he left the manor, Anos wrote dozens of letters overnight, asking the elf to send them to his friends regularly, no matter what method he used. (Elves have no right to drive owls to deliver messages)

Because he didn't know how long he was going to stay at Castle Black, he even prepared the opening presents.

"Eyes like raging seas, hair like flaming gold, great and noble Von Stilland..." Bobby is an elf who is responsible for daily life, humming a carol and putting orange fruit tea and dessert plates on On the coffee table, these are the routines for the little host to enjoy afternoon tea.

"Bobby is so happy to see the young master." The elf took out a stack of thick letters from the cabinet, and said as if offering a treasure, "Bobby keeps all the letters from the young master, and every letter is here!" It is the letters sent to Anos in the past year, among which the letters from Riga are the most conspicuous and the largest in number.

The faint scent of ink on the letter paper constitutes the joy, anger, sorrow and joy of the letter writer——

[...A few days ago, I accompanied Sally Ann to Diagon Alley in London. She was admitted. I guess Hogwarts probably admitted most of the students in Europe. The streets are full of dark wizards Robe, I even bought a wand, oh, Merlin, I also have my own wand, although it's a bit early...]

[…… Sally Ann's life in Hogwarts makes me envious, there is the 'savior' Potter, the powerful Malfoy, the four houses will never be peaceful, and there are even trolls breaking in on Halloween, it's too thrilling ! 】

[... My magic is a little out of control. When pouring water, the teacup suddenly cracked, and the paper burned for no reason when I was painting. What's worse, I destroyed the tulip field of Ruttenberg's family, and I don't remember it at all process……】

【...Those people call me the 'scary black witch', Merlin's socks, why not 'the black queen', so that I can recruit black knights openly... Let's not talk about this, maybe next time we meet, you Can be my model, I am tired of painting vases, even Yuri has his own portrait, it is so excited...]

[…My friend, although your reply is very punctual, why don’t you say more about yourself? Of course, I’m not saying that the skills you sent me are not good. In fact, they are very useful and help me quickly Just learned the elementary theory in the magic book, I have to say that in this respect, you are very, very good...]

[... Hey, I tried your improved howling letter, it was so interesting, I recorded a song and sent it to you - "The Cuckoo in the Black Forest", someone sang this song at the Egil song meeting , I think you’ve probably heard it too…]

Anuo Si opened the envelope and looked at it, with a smile unconsciously on the corner of his mouth.

"One more thing, master, the caulking stone is broken." Bobby said despondently, "Bobby can't fix it, and the owl won't let go of the letter, so... Bobby didn't get the letter from the owl, Bobby A bad elf, and Poppy is going to punish herself..."

After the elf bowed, he stumbled out of the room.

Because of the protection spell cast on his body, Anos left a piece of caulking stone, which can absorb magic breath, making the owl believe that the recipient is in the house, so as to leave the letter for him.But this kind of stone has a disadvantage, that is, it is easy to weather.

The last letter in Anders' hands was from Lola, in which she expressed her excitement at receiving the admission letter, which was signed four months ago.

Then the boy froze, his eyes fixed on the name of the school - Durmstrang - how could it be there?
