HP's Adagio Minor

??

The polar night is over, but the sunshine hours in Durmstrang are still short. Students of all grades returned to their dormitories early, and Lola was no exception—after taking a hot bath, she fell asleep quickly.

Of course, not everyone went to sleep that early, and the fireplace was still flickering in the fifth-year common room.

"Congratulations on your triumphant return, 'Victors'."

"This is expected, isn't it?" Viktor Krum leaned back on the chair relaxedly, his thick eyebrows stretched, "Or, did you 'see' again?"

"No, I just got some news. The Romanian magic school team always uses 'sprinting' as their ultimate move. Unfortunately, they met you. This speed is not enough...Although the others suffer a little bit, but no matter what How to put it, failure and success, fate has already been doomed."

Dimir Fittinghof stretched out his hand to caress the soft fur of the snow fox. This well-behaved pet lay on the owner's lap, cleverly pricking up its ears, as if listening to their conversation.

"You are always well-informed," Krum smiled. "I think, you probably know, there will be a good opportunity for me."

"You mean signing with the national team?"

"Yes, I have great confidence, if I perform well in this final."

"You will succeed. People always have an urgent desire for victory, and this is the only benefit that persistence can bring..." Dimir narrowed his eyes, and his slightly curly hair draped over his shoulders, adding mystery to his ordinary facial features breath.

"I accept your good words."

The Quidditch captain's eyes lit up like lightning.

"You are Welcome."

Xuehu flicked his tail, his lazy look was exactly the same as his master.

"Did anything new happen at school during my absence?"

"It's nothing special, except that the Beast Riding Club was a blast - the rare ancient magic circle, the Eastern Riding Beast with curse and pannir attributes, and the ending of being contracted by non-club members... Everyone underestimated her, obviously She's a fun little girl."

"You mean—Lola Barodis?"

"Of course, who else could it be?"

"She drew a difficult ancient magic circle. In addition to the complicated magic circle graphics, she is also very demanding on the output of magic power. It is very rare for a first-year student to successfully complete it." Ivano Frankovsk on the side stood up Pretty glasses, added.

"incredible."

Krum told the truth, the impression that the girl would secretly hide and cry, saying that she didn't want to rely on others.He recalled the shy and shy look when he met her today, and then remembered the magical hurricane.

"I believe she has the ability."

Regarding his change of words, Dimir raised his eyebrows.

"She is very talented, but it is a pity that she is unwilling to join the club."

Ivano put back the silver bow tie in his hand—the medal he had won for sending Lola's short essay to the Literary League's student poetry competition.

"Silver Ax Barodis' bloodline is still pure... Should we be thankful now that she is still close to us?" Dimir looked at the unfinished cup-shaped sponge cake on the coffee table, wrapped in meringue. Decorated with chestnut cream like vermicelli, "Lola is a considerate and good girl, and she even brought us Italian-style desserts... It's hard to imagine how she will fall in love in the future, she must be as tender as water."

"You look like the second of the 'Love Saint'."

"Oh, don't compare me to that playboy, he's got so many girls - and I'm a man with a fiancée."

"She will not be our enemy, I can guarantee that."

Matvey Romanov walked out of the prefect's room in his pajamas. He sat on the single sofa, waved his wand lightly, and a glass of milk floated in front of him.

"We didn't say that, and you, and Alexei's maintenance seems too eager - may I assume that maybe one of you, has..."

"Assumptions are not valid!"

Matvey interrupted Dimir, he naturally knew that someone was gossiping about the marriage between the Romanov family and the Barodis family, but that would never happen, "It's just pure friendship, after all, she just came there I don’t know the place well, and I’m often squeezed out.”

"what about now?"

"Of course... I got to know my classmates." Matvey was a little uncertain, because girls came to him less and less often, and he was really too busy to take care of her.

"Recently the student union is a mess," he explained, "Senior Mandeln has delegated authority, and as a graduate, he naturally has to spend more time on NEWTs, that idiot Wofford often jumps out when he leaves school .”

"Only he can use the name of a meeting to win over votes." Ivano couldn't help complaining, "It's a waste of my time. I'm going to OWLs soon."

"I've always positioned him as a jumping clown," Dimir teased lightly. "It's interesting to see him embarrassed once in a while. Last time, I recorded it with a memory ball... I took this as a gift." Give it to him, it can probably be used as a request for leave from a meeting."

"Cool, I want to relive it."

"Count me in."

Xuehu received the owner's signal, it jumped off the sofa nimbly, quickly took back a crystal ball from the room, and then nestled into the owner's arms again.

The video in the crystal ball started with Wofford's arrogant mockery, and then he began to bully other people, even the first graders, under the pretense of his name.

"It's a pity that the memory ball can't record sound, otherwise it would be even better."

"Maybe we can add a piece of celebratory music and watch it in time, it will definitely work well."

Seeing that a few people were enjoying themselves, Krum also came over, and couldn't help laughing when he saw that Wofor was hit by the spell and began to kick dance desperately.

"I didn't expect him to dance quite well."

As soon as the words fell, the crotch of the 'dancer' was torn, but he continued to kick high.

Several boys gathered around the crystal ball, laughing loudly.

"I just found out now that this guy's underwear is a heart pattern."

The crystal ball dimmed at the moment when everyone waved their wands.

"Later we got into a scuffle, so I didn't have time to record it—I took the opportunity to cast a few curses, but unfortunately I missed the target." Dimir said lightly, relying on the power of the Vietinghoff family, he has always been like this.

"Did you hit someone else?"

Seeing Dimir's noncommittal look, everyone knew that the curse would definitely make the unlucky one hit enjoy it.

"Looks like you've been bored this term," concluded Viktor Krum.

He understands the young master of this big family, he has never paid attention to the solicitation of other forces, and he does not easily display his talents. He seems to follow the trend, but he is not as mediocre as he seems-and no one, including the school board, can force him Do anything.

"Almost, there are no new students in the club." In fact, there is no one else except him, the nominal president, and the only one member.

"He let Gomez join the spirit divination club." Ivano broke the news.

"What? Even if Gomez is your lifelong defender, you shouldn't play him like this... that guy would be happy? His favorite thing is group fights!"

"There's a mess in Chechnya. I just want him to calm down—as the head of the Lewandowski family, it's really embarrassing for the best subordinate to repeat a grade."

(Someone in the fourth grade dormitory sneezed hard.)

"But you haven't brought him to make trouble." Matvey pointed to the crystal ball that was replayed again.

"The final battle...after that he has to start studying hard."

"I gave him all the class notes, and I hope he can return to us soon." Ivano said that he tried his best, but he couldn't tell how confident he was in the face of the big hurdle of OWLs.

Dimir gave a rare sigh, but soon opened his mouth with a smile.

"Matvey, after the senior Mandeln you admire graduates, who will be his successor?"

"I don't know, but it definitely shouldn't be Wofford, and those in the sixth grade will not be willing to hand over the face of the school to that idiot."

"I remember that the Olsen family and the Helk family are in a competitive relationship."

"If you're talking about how to train dragons, I think so, but I'm sorry I can't do anything about it. You might as well ask my cousins... but I dare say that Quessie Helk despises the student union in his heart." , as long as you throw a lot of Galleons at the Beast Riding Club, anyone can get along with them happily——Valentinghamger, as the acting president, is quite reasonable."

"They have always spent a lot of money, but like the Quidditch school team, they can get a lot of sponsorship."

"They've got Parker Ebbetts..."

"A rude fellow with an empty mind."

"And Reye Hane..."

"Campus lover, fortunately he likes the opposite sex."

"So...we have a chance?"

"Obvious."

??

At the school meeting on the first day of school, Principal Karkaroff still focused on the theme of commendation, and he talked endlessly to boost the morale of all the students. The school board was satisfied with the performance of the Quidditch team. Besides, the Beast Riding Club brought them another surprise—the birth of a new brood of griffins—so they boldly increased the school's sponsorship funds, which was specifically reflected in the obviously rich dishes at breakfast.

Lola randomly picked up some food, and her good mood disappeared as soon as she opened her eyes—no one likes to wake up with a messy pile of parchment rolls and Surrounded by old books.

"These have been mailed one after another during these days... There is also a big bookcase, and Kali will bring it up when you go to class." The elf put a large stack of dusty books in the bedroom doorway.

Lola casually flipped through the old papers. Most of these old papers were study notes. In addition to the "Barodis Family Refined Charms Collection", there were also many books such as "Charms? Practice every lesson" or It was something like "Elementary Spells? Synchronized Practice", and she even found "OWLs Big Guess Questions: Reaching the Pass Line" in it - the printing date turned out to be 1930?This is simply antique!

"Is Dad crazy..."

Lola was overwhelmed by her father's hope that her daughter would become a phoenix.

In fact, Edgar just felt that the things piled up in the study were useless to him, and he might as well give them all to his daughter so that she could consolidate her studies.Of course, this is also a kind of urging in disguise. He hinted that his daughter should spend more time in the secret study to learn a more complete family education.

However, Lola has been trying to avoid it since the last time she broke up with the portrait—so she simply chose to keep out of sight—and stuffed all these things into the unused in the side hall.

The red-tailed vulture owl looked at the master's almost venting action, and tilted his head in confusion.

As a highly anticipated subject, the practice and application of black magic finally ended the boring classroom theory in the spring semester, and started the first class of defense practice.

Although they are only familiar with the classroom environment today, the children are still very excited.Professor Scott seriously told them the classroom instructions about the practical class, for example, don't cast spells at will, don't pour stains on the walls of magic-forbidden materials, and don't chase and fight during class... He said a lot, but all People almost went in with one ear and out with the other—their attention was drawn to the dim corridor behind the iron gate.

And when they walked in line, curiosity and joy were quickly replaced by unknown fear. The long and winding corridor was like the stomach wall of a giant snake, and the cold wind came from nowhere, blowing over everyone's face .As the team progressed, the corridor became narrower and narrower, and in the end only two people could pass side by side.

Lola held up her wand and used fluorescent flashes to illuminate it. Although the light was in front of her, she couldn't block the darkness around her. She held the wand nervously, forcing herself not to think about the horrors in those novels.

"don’t worry."

Anos spoke softly behind her.

After an unknown amount of time, everyone finally arrived at their destination—this is a wide hall, with tall pillars supporting an atmospheric and quaint dome, and various stone statues of beasts lined up neatly on both sides. It looks like an underground palace.

"This is Professor Sean who is in charge of teaching you."

"Welcome, students."

A middle-aged wizard in a black robe nodded slightly. Lola remembered that at the morning meeting, Principal Karkaroff seemed dissatisfied with the newly appointed deputy of the school board. this.

It is said that this is an academic researcher with a good reputation in the magic world, and has high attainments in defense against the dark arts and curse protection and resolution.

"This semester, I will guide you in the practical application of elementary defense black magic..."

Then everyone followed the two professors to visit the entire magic protection area - there is a teacher/student lounge with absolute prohibition against magic, a black magic tool room with ancient prohibitions for pure viewing, a teaching room with adjustable magic magnetic field, and The deep-seated black magic research room... the variety of house numbers makes it difficult to see.

"As you can see, our school's black magic teaching system and various facilities are among the best among magic schools all over the world..." Professor Sean's words made the first graders feel inexplicably proud, but Then he changed the topic, "But not everyone can get in touch with the deepest essence of this course. During the entire teaching period, Professor Scott and I will give each of you, with physical fitness, black magic control, A comprehensive score will be given for items such as magic reserve, ideology and character."

"What if you fail?"

"Students whose scores are lower than the baseline, I do not recommend that they continue to study this course."

The children talked a lot. It turned out that the "compulsory" of the black magic class would be forced to be changed to "elective", but anyway, this is also a tough measure to prevent evil people like the old devil from appearing again.

After a short break, the children are about to take a basic placement test.

"Top class, ordinary class, and cattle-herding class... Do you think this system applies Professor Cuile's 'Asian teaching method'?"

Frigo Pierre teased in a low voice.

"It is indeed somewhat similar, but my brother said that the black arts course has always been like this." Tully Dinklage said, "He also said that the placement test every semester has a different focus, and more is to see Scoring the professor's judgment..."

"So, you mean, we have to compare who is more pleasing to the eye"

"Maybe... it's more 'safe' than who looks better."

"Oh, well——" Pierey glanced at Adriatic and Anos, "The two of them are eliminated."

"That's fine."

Nath Day shook the two locks of curly hair next to his ears, and said sincerely.
