HP's Adagio Minor

The peaceful morning passed quickly, and the elves of the Ongnard family were busy around - an extremely grand dinner was about to be held here. Although all kinds of fresh ingredients had already been prepared, they were still elegant and efficient as usual It is not until the afternoon that the elaborate decoration begins.

After taking a hot spring bath, Lola changed into a banquet dress.This is a coral-colored knee-length skirt. The shawl on the outer cover is slightly lighter. The fabric of pado satin is soft and warm. There are several smooth and round pine snail pearls inlaid at the junction with the yarn - each one is the same size, exuding a dazzling rainbow luster - this design is both smart and textured, even if you are always fond of red Lola, who has a cold, has to admit that the dress is really beautiful.

Of course, after staying in Durmstrang for half a year, she has already whitened a lot, so it complements her complexion very well after wearing it.

As for the hair, this is definitely the focus of protection. Since the quick-drying spell will damage the hair, Lola would rather use the time-consuming and labor-intensive traditional method-she gently blots the excess moisture on the hair with a towel, and then carefully applies Hair conditioner, from the tip of the hair to the top of the head, after making sure there is nothing missing, comb the hair straight and wait for it to dry naturally.Although it was very Muggle-like, she felt quite at ease.

Trouble ensued—the girl accidentally snapped a red coral barrette while tying her hair—and ordinary bonding spells were ineffective against the precious jewel.She hastily opened the jewelry box and rummaged through it: a pure-color crystal headband?Seems a little too common; a polka-dot bow headband?The look is lovely, but the style doesn't match the dress; a hat with black feathers?Too much color; chains set with opals?Not only is it heavy, but the color is too light and not outstanding enough... After searching for a long time, I couldn't find a hair accessory that could match the dress. Now, the girl was worried.

Just when she was at a loss, there was a knock on the door, and a house elf came in on tiptoe, and put the round wooden box on the tray on the dressing table.

"This is Madam's order." It said respectfully and then retreated.

Lola opened the box curiously, and saw a set of exquisite jewelry inside—the copper-yellow hair crown in the shape of tangled branches, inlaid with rose-red broken crystals, and the ivory flowers with light champagne color carved delicately and lightly— — Lola just took one look at it and fell in love with it.

She combed her hair into a simple reverse twist braid, and casually put it behind her head. Among the slightly messy hair, the beautiful corolla was like an ornament only available to fairies in legend.

"...I seem to hear

A vaguely beautiful sound came into my dreamland,

And a muffled voice, like a staccato singing voice,

The tone is resentful and gentle, echoing in my ears...

'—listen! —Listen!I am a water nymph, and I touch your diamond-shaped window panes with crisp sounds, and your windows are illuminated by the faint moonlight.Look, the lord's wife, wearing a rippling robe, appeared on the terrace, and she was fascinated by the beautiful night sky full of stars and the beautiful sleeping lake. '..."

(Excerpt from Bertrand's "Nymph")

Lola carried the beautiful fragments from the prose poetry collection on her back, looked left and right in front of the mirror, and finally walked out of the room satisfied.In the lounge at the end of the corridor, Frigo Pierre was playing wizard chess alone.

"Sorry for the wait."

"It's nothing, it's what a gentleman should do—"

On the chessboard at this time, the White Queen copied the chair and smashed the opponent off the horse.

"Damn woman, you should be kicked by a horse's hoof to break all your bones..." the black knight said angrily, clutching the half of his head left.

"Shut up, idiot!" The White Queen slammed down the chair, gluing its head to pieces.

"We are going to win!" The few remaining white pieces cheered.

Pierre stood up with a disinterested expression on his face. He looked at his "dance partner" a few times, and said with some surprise: "It's rare to see you dressed like this. It's weird. Uh, I mean it's pretty good!"

"Thank you." Lola took out the magic wand in her sleeve and smoothed the boy's wrinkled clothes with a light wave. She was quite good at this kind of housework spell.

"Now it's my turn to say thank you—"

"You're welcome."

??

Along the way, Lola and Pierre chatted one after another. Although the von Stilland family was unable to attend today's banquet, it also meant that she would not be able to see her friend Anos, but this did not reduce her Interest——Lola put all her attention on the beautiful dress, she couldn't help observing her own reflection in the window, the chandelier, or the antique vase set up in the corner, and even had an idea in her mind. The idea of ​​painting a self-portrait - she wanted to preserve herself as she is today.

When he was approaching the door, Pierre slowed down and bent his arms like adults, but the girl didn't pay attention at all and was just staring at the decorative paintings on the wall in a daze, so he had to cough a few times.

Lola quickly came back to her senses, and pulled her up cooperatively——as soon as the two people's limbs touched, they successfully induced a sense of stiffness, and the atmosphere was instantly cold.

"Hey, did you find out? Today's banquet is really high-level," Pierre pretended to be relaxed, "There will be countless people on the other side of the door, and they wish they could be so lively every day...Of course, except for me. "

"—and me." Lola said quickly, in exchange for a good-natured smile from the other party.

Walking into the banquet hall, there was a lot of voices, the sound of music and conversation intertwined. The two young children did not attract much attention, but soon, someone recognized that it was the son of Mrs. Ungernard and her ex-husband. All kinds of greetings flooded in.

In Lola's view, the kindness and enthusiasm seemed very deliberate, and she could even distinguish the deep meaning behind the smiles—of course, this is only a part of people—more people didn't hide it at all, but kept looking at it with weird eyes .

The embarrassing identity made Pierre feel ashamed, and the whispering sound in his ear made him angry—explode?Or escape?He had no choice but to pick up the pace.

"I'm sorry, even you...I really shouldn't come, this place is not suitable for me at all."

"No, Frigo!" Lola's answer was unexpectedly firm, "Of course you should come, you are the heir of the Pierre family."

"I know, but..."

"Relax, man, take a deep breath—" she motioned the boy to do the same, "and smile."

After finishing speaking, Lola took the lead in showing a communicative smile, and nodded slightly to the unknown guests around.There are still two sweet dimples on the childish face, she knows that such a smile is very pleasing to the elders.

"You're pretty good at it."

Pierre and Lola walked through the crowd politely and quickly, and came to the side hall, where a group of half-sized children had already gathered.Pierre said hello to a few boys he knew, while Lola was idling around, her eyes caught by the colorful puff bars on the snack stand—yes, she was a little hungry.

When Adrian Wengnerd came in, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. He was dressed in an improved traditional Austrian-style gown, and he looked gentle and elegant, with a kind of stability beyond his peers.He politely brought his female companion into everyone's sight—with a delicate face, black hair scattered like waves, and a lilac-colored high-end dress that made her skin as snowy, although that expensive, gorgeous, inlaid The jewels of magic gemstones are dazzling, but they also indirectly highlight the power of the family.

Out of politeness and respect for the Ongnard family, everyone stepped forward to salute.Miss Jiao was very satisfied with the envious eyes she received when she appeared on the stage. She held an elegant demeanor and was extremely arrogant——suddenly, her expression changed, but she quickly covered up her gaffe with a smile.

Pierre and Lola were not in a hurry to get up, but stood at the outermost edge of the crowd.

"Good evening, both of you!" Adrian walked up to them, "You look beautiful today, Lola."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"I think you should consider wearing it at school," Pierre whispered from the sidelines. "As far as I know, men are girls who like to wear skirts—whoops!"

Lola withdrew her elbow as if nothing had happened, and said to Adrie, "Your dance partner is also very beautiful today, isn't she?"

"I think so... Allow me to introduce, this is Miss Laura Barodis, and this is Miss Bafra Butarskaya."

Butaskaya raised her head and saluted extremely arrogantly. She was already half a head taller than Lola, and she was almost looking at people with her nostrils.

Adrien couldn't help frowning, and Pierre took a few steps back exaggeratedly, making it clear that he didn't want to talk.However, Lola's return gift was very standard and in place, it didn't seem to be affected at all, so it seemed that the other party was arrogant.Butaskaya blushed, and when she noticed Lola Barodis staring at her neck, she turned pale again.

"Have a good time." Lola looked away and smiled.

??

Before the buffet, Lola and Pierre sample delicious French food.

"I heard that the Butaskaya family was originally from Estonia. Did you know each other before?"

"I've seen it a few times." Lola replied lightly, "It's a pity that it's not very pleasant."

"I can see it! No wonder she is so rude. Although she is beautiful, if it is not because of the family cooperation project, Adrian's dance partner should never choose her... And she actually asked Adrian to come to greet her in person-it is a waste of herself. Becoming a princess! I guess she probably has some, er, thoughts, but this is purely wishful thinking, it is impossible for the wife of the heir of the Wengnard family to choose from such a family with unstable foundations..."

Pierre grumbled when he mentioned it, and did not eat until he had said enough.

"I didn't expect you to know this. I thought boys at this age only knew how to play."

"Although I don't pay attention to this matter, someone will always talk about it."

"We should salute Mr. and Mrs. Ungernard later. Where did they go? I haven't seen it yet."

"Don't worry about them, you're busy enough today... Well, in fact, when you were dressing up, they already told us to have fun and eat well."

"..."

At this moment, there was a commotion in the hall, and some people couldn't stop shouting, "Oh, Merlin! They're here, they've already reached the gate of the manor!"

"Really? I have to go out and see!"

"Who is here?"

"Of course it's a distinguished guest, let's go outside quickly."

Lola and Pierre followed the crowd into the outer hall—they couldn't help but wonder which distinguished guest they were visiting.

The banquet hall of the Wengnard Manor is very wide, with 24 columns propping up a high painted ceiling, and six bright crystal chandeliers illuminate the place magnificently, even if hundreds of people gather here, they will not feel the slightest sense of loss. Crowded—but some people went up the corridor on the second floor just to get a glimpse.

The door of the banquet was slowly opened, and the crowd suddenly fell silent.I saw the three guests coming from the night, their soft and smooth blond hair was illuminated by the candlelight, like fragrant honey, showing a different kind of beauty.

"Lucius, my sincere friend!" Franz Wengnard greeted him, "Your arrival makes me very happy."

"It's also an honor for the Malfoy family."

Ongnard didn't care about the other party's indifferent tone of voice. He knew that the most powerful pure-blood wizard noble in England had always had such a temper.

While the adult wizards were busy attending the ceremony, the children were also busy - a large group of people scrambled to chat with the distinguished guests from England, and the broken English with various accents made Draco Malfoy want to roll his eyes.However, considering that he was in Austria this time, he had to put away his previous arrogance, show a sociable smirk, and make a full ten of the British gentleman's style.

The girls around didn't know it, and they were still caught in this romantic platinum color. Boys with outstanding family background, outstanding talents, and handsome as Master Malfoy are rare.

Although little Malfoy enjoyed the girls' adoring eyes, he didn't want to talk to them about stupid things.He chose a more important chat partner to highlight each other's identities—Although Adrian Ungernard is a year younger than him, he goes to school in Durmstrang—chatting with him will not make people feel uncomfortable. Shame on the Malfoy family.

Adrian attached great importance to this little guest from England. He personally invited Malfoy to the lounge, and recommended a unique 'berry brandy' (non-alcoholic children's drink) according to the needs of the guests. .

Little Malfoy flicked the crystal glass. The brown-red liquid had a fruity fragrance and a mellow taste similar to wine. It was the most popular drink among young people in Austria-but for him, this sour taste It was downright bad - Malfoy was not happy about it.

And what made him even more unhappy was the humming banquet music, harp, violin, flute...Merlin, it was almost unbearable to make people doze off.However, it is very rare to be able to make an exception this time and come out of the lifeless Hogwarts, maybe I shouldn't be too picky.

After a second thought, Malfoy regained his composure.

To be honest, I came back to Austria not only because of the family business, but also because of the excitement.After all, it is rare in the entire wizarding world to remarry like Mr. and Mrs. Ungerard.

As the outsiders, the Borg family has no right to obstruct the two lovers, not to mention that the only son of the former Mrs. Ongnard, Adrian Ongnard, has long been established as the sole heir.

And Mrs. Pierre left all the property to her son Frigo Pierre—it was reported that the two teenagers were still close friends, which made the Pierre family even more speechless.

As for the Tresor family, which is the mother family of the current Mrs. Ongnard, they have been in the limelight in the social circle recently. Who told their daughter to marry into a magic family whose comprehensive strength ranks among the top five in the world? .

Little Malfoy's head was spinning non-stop. As the heir-to-be of the Malfoy family, he naturally had a deep and thorough understanding of the social circle.Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, the distinguished British young master seems to like this drink very much—otherwise, why would he look at the glass so seriously?

Later, the company that sold this 'berry brandy' drink used the praise of the British Malfoy family as a gimmick to promote sales, and it didn't stop until the head of the Malfoy family—Draco Malfoy personally denounced it. This advertisement even had to be falsely compensated for the loss of its reputation, which caused a lot of cross-border news.

"Whoever brewed this must have a troll tongue!"

He muttered to himself, putting the cup aside.
