HP's Adagio Minor

??

As the daylight hours dwindled, the whole of Durmstrang became darker and darker-not even the thick sheepskin cloak cast a warm spell, and the magical fire in the fireplace never went out, and the sun could not be forgotten.Lola misses the summer in Riga a little bit. The gravel scalds her feet, the sun makes her skin red, and diving into the warm sea to chase small fish is so wonderful.

In the potion class, Professor Agazade explained the main points of the configuration of the anti-itch potion.He is an old man with pure Persian blood. Although he tends to forget words in lectures and has severe hand tremors—he always makes the students panic when he pours the powder—but he is indeed the best in Europe. One of the potion masters.

Lola put the rhizome of the earth dragon vine into the grinder, and then rummaged through the tool table.

"Give."

Anders handed her a gavel.

"Thank you."

After a few knocks, the skin of the hairy, lumpy stem is crushed, and the juice that flows out flows into the filter cup.

"...after foaming on the surface, pour in the ground dragon vine juice and Changhongjiao powder, turn off the heat, and stir clockwise three times."

Lola compared it with the notes, and Anos, her partner, weighed the long red horn powder, put it in a small bowl, and sorted out the tools needed one by one.

"We still have to fish out the Heliconia." He picked out two small net bags and put them on the table. "Or you want to wait until the potion is finished before fishing. That's fine, but there's an extra step of sedimentation."

"Removing the heliconia tree after completion will make the potion more effective." Lola flipped through the textbook, "It can reduce one or two side effects."

"side effect?"

"Yes, look at the phrase 'free from sneezing and runny nose caused by bitter taste'...what are you laughing at?"

"Look here, medicine for children." Andos pointed to the mark on the book, "Professor Agazade didn't make any special request." He looked at the girl's flushed cheeks, and continued, "Of course, I believe this can The potion is milder and the color is better."

"As the book says, Zhan Qing?"

"We can try."

"Whoa, we just threw the heliconia in the pot and you're going to pick it up? That's pretty fast!" said Tully from the next table, "but you're clearly Muggle-inclined, I mean, you two love 'hands-on' '."

"Is there?"

"Yes, if I hadn't seen you both at work, I'd have thought it was two Muggles here—"

"You're exaggerating, Tully." Lola laughed. "I just grew up...well, I often go to Muggle society."

"It's not a big deal," Anos interjected, "Didn't Professor Agazade say, 'The making of potions should not be limited, any method should be tried'—I think 'hands-on' is more consistent precision."

"It's easier to use magic as a wizard, look!"

Tully pointed to his work table, on which the metal roller was automatically pounding the powder.

"It's great," Lola said, "but you can't do anything but stare at it."

"This is the case for the time being. We are only in the first grade, so it's normal that we don't have enough magic power. My brother said that when we become adults, we can lie comfortably on the sofa and direct the cauldron to make potions by ourselves."

"Tully? Can you do me a favor? The fire isn't strong enough." Vichy pointed to the cauldron, "I've added fuel wood, but it's not even able to ignite a single spark except for the smoke."

"It's probably damp, try using a drying spell." Anos suggested.

Vichy waved his wand, but the burning wood only evaporated water vapor on the surface, and the inside was still damp.

"Dude, try again... Oh, no!" Tully was distracted, and smashed the pestle heavily on the table, sweeping the whole earth dragon vine juice, soup and bowl, into the cauldron.

"We're done!" Vichy sighed, "Even if we start over now, there's not enough time."

"Oh, Merlin's socks! If I had known this, I'd rather 'do it'." Tully said ruefully.

The crucible went from boiling to calm, and after taking out the heliconia, it settled for another ten minutes before Lola put the anti-itch potion into the crystal bottle.

"It seems to be different from the description in the textbook." She signed the bottle cap, "It's a bit blue and a bit green, why is it like this?"

"Maybe some details have been overlooked, we can ask Professor Agazade." Anos took the vial and found that his name had been marked, he smiled at the girl, "But even so, we have done enough Excellent.

"Don't know if I can get extra points, you know I need to—"

"Lola, someone is looking for you outside."

The girl looked up and saw a few senior students she didn't know standing at the door of the classroom.

"It's Haney and Ertz," Dai leaned over and asked nervously, "how do they know you?"

"I don't know." Lola hesitated, "Can I ignore it?"

"You have no choice, they are in the sixth grade."

??

"Good afternoon, Miss Barodis."

Seeing the girl approaching, the leading senior looks handsome and looks like a gentleman.

"I didn't expect you to be so charming and lovely. Look at the beautiful color of your hair, just like the delicate yellow daisy incarnated by the forest elf Bertis. Even though you are only wearing plain clothes at the moment, you have an extraordinary temperament. My lady... I am honored to have you at Durmstrang."

A string of compliments flowed on like water, making one's scalp tingle - what eloquence and blind eyes were required to ignore his messy brown hair and stained work gown.

"Thank you." Lola tried to remain calm, "Excuse me, I'm afraid I don't know any of them."

"Know? Oh, of course, please allow me to introduce myself, Reye Hane, from Italy."

"Mr. Hane, uh senior..."

"You can call me by my first name, the lovely lady always has the privilege."

"Pfft—" The tall and strong boy next to him sneered, "When I see a woman, I behave like this. Italian infatuation blooms everywhere, but I chose one who was not well-developed." He greeted the others, "I don't want to It's disgusting to stay here... let's go, let's have some fun."

"Parker Eltz, he has always been vulgar and rude, please ignore him."

Lola managed to keep smiling, "What can I do for you?"

"Actually, it wasn't me who was looking for you, but the Riding Beast Taming Association of this school..."

"Find me?"

"Yes, although the animal riding class can only be taken in the third grade, I believe that you may have some impressions of a rare oriental dragon horse - it once caused a riot, just a few months ago."

"Sure, it's impressive, but it's not about me."

"No, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean this matter. The riot was just an accident." Reye Hane wrote lightly. Miss Si will go there herself."

"I'm so sorry, I……"

Lola wanted to decline, but was cut off.

"You know, a lady shouldn't refuse a gentleman's invitation at will." Reye Hane leaned down and whispered in the girl's ear, "Especially when the lady is not qualified enough, obedience and obedience are more flattering like."

After speaking, he took a step back and showed a frivolous smile, "The most sincere invitation from the Riding Beast Taming United Association, I believe you will make an appropriate choice, Miss Barodis."

Lola got goosebumps all over her body, and she quickly glanced into the classroom—a few boys were staring at this side with strange expressions, she blushed and said in compromise, "Senior Haney, of course I can accept this invitation , but before that, I want to change my clothes first."

"Of course, you can take your time. The lunch break is still long." Reye Hane also noticed those gazes, "Your knights seem a little nervous, but unfortunately the number of places is limited."

??

The arrival of the 'bad boy' did make the boys nervous, and they buzzed around Lola, with differing opinions about her going to the high society.

"At least he gave you this." Tully looked carefully at the application letter. "If the first grade wants to visit the senior club, it must have the permission of the president and the signature of the supervisor."

"'Epita? Haroldson', although it is very scribbled, but the signature cannot be faked, the professor has special ink." Andos wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, "It also states that there will be senior students accompanying the whole process. "

"Where is the United Riding Beast Taming Association? The Riding Beast Hut?"

"I have to go further back, through the beast riding training ground... No one knows the details, because the lower grades are not allowed to visit there—except you."

"So, I'm really honored." Lola took a sip of apple juice, and Vichy, who was opposite her, was indignant, "The application letter should be applied by Lola herself, not by the cycling association. They are too much Already!"

"...maybe consider this an adventure?"

"You really think walking in the snow would be fun in the cold, Nath?"

"It's better than staying in the dormitory every day. You know, since the cancellation of outdoor classes last week, I haven't stepped on the ground other than floor tiles, and there are still a few hours of sunshine at noon."

"Lola," Anos said sternly, "if you don't want to go, don't force yourself."

"To be honest, I was quite disgusted at first, but I have already promised, so I can't go back on my word."

"What's the matter! In the worst case, let's go to Professor Scott. The sixth grade threatens the first-grade girl. If it is spread, he will lose his face."

"Oh, come on, Vichy!" Lola laughed, "Don't worry, I'm just going to have a look—as a 'first-year girl', I think they won't make things difficult for me."

"Better so."

"I'm full, let's change clothes first... See you in the afternoon!"
