HP's Adagio Minor

Three years passed in a blink of an eye.

One day in May, the temperature was a little abnormal, and the dazzling sunlight gave people the illusion of being in a scorching summer.After lunch, the hostess of Barodis Manor was invited to a social tea party, so Lola was left alone in the huge manor.

In front of the dressing mirror, Lola was tucking her hair carelessly into a flounced beanie.

"Small, little master," Yuri stood outside the door with a mournful face, "It's inappropriate for Yuri to go out without permission!"

"I'm just relaxing," Lola straightened her cloak, then turned around with satisfaction, "Is everything ready?"

"Ready, Yuri brought cheese stew, salmon sandwiches, assorted fruit tarts..." The elf respectfully held the picnic basket, and tears of gratitude shone in his eyes after receiving approval from the little master.

"You are not allowed to tell your parents what happened today."

"But Yuri can't lie to the master...but this is the order of the little master..." The elf wanted to hit the wall, but remembered that the master didn't allow it to do damage, so he cried loudly, "Woo... Yuri It's useless... Yuri is a bad elf!"

"It's noisy!" Lola frowned.

The cry was instantly choked in his throat, and Yuri wept silently.

Lola had long understood the nervousness of house-elves, but it still affected her emotions somewhat.Sensing the displeasure of the little master, Yuri followed behind dejectedly, his big head almost drooping to his chest.

It is only a few dozen steps away from the gate of the manor to the seaside. Lola casually pointed to a location, and the elf with a distressed face was instantly refreshed. It was quickly arranged, with deck chairs, parasols, all kinds of snacks and drinks. , decorated with flowers all around.Lola stopped Yuri from throwing flower petals into the sea (no matter how much sea water is sprinkled, it won't turn into a scent of flowers, Lola said), and the elf had to stop angrily.

Lola took off her hat, and her fluffy light-blond hair became lighter in the sunlight.The cloak was bulging, revealing the dark green one-piece dress inside, with leggings tied from the knee to the calf, and a pair of strange pointed shoes on the feet - this swimsuit was worn by Lola's grandmother when she was young. Inlaid with rare magical gemstones, the materials used are very elegant.

"I always feel that the style is a bit old." Lola couldn't help pulling the collar, the tight neckline made her feel uncomfortable, "Maybe it's time to buy a new one... Muggles are fine , although the fabric is a bit short, it looks good, what do you think, Yuri?"

Yuri blinked his big tennis-ball eyes, but didn't make a sound.

Lola found herself asking a stupid question, whether in the wizarding world or the Muggle world, clothing trends are nothing but empty talk to elves who only wear pillow covers, not to mention that they are forbidden to touch the clothes of their masters.

"Okay, I'll call you if something happens."

After Lola signaled the elf to leave, she took off only her petticoat, "It's still so comfortable!" She stepped on the wet gravel with bare feet, and the coolness spread from the soles of her feet to her whole body. Over knees, waist, chest.

"I don't understand why Sally Ann is afraid of water, maybe I can teach her to swim so she won't be afraid... Merlin, that's a great idea!"

This is not boasting, Lola's swimming style is indeed beautiful, and she is good at diving.Taking a deep breath, he dexterously drilled into deeper waters, and the water flowed through his body to bring out several beautiful ripples.The underwater world is very peaceful. The sun shines on the coral reef through the sea water, refracting sparkling waves. After being alarmed, a few small fish fled in all directions, causing Lola to keep chasing after them.

If only I could be as free as they are.She couldn't help thinking.

??

In the sky above the southwestern coast of the Baltic Sea, a carriage driven by flying horses is speeding through the clouds.This private carriage has a beautiful appearance, six well-trained flying horses, and the interior of the carriage is as spacious as a living room, which is very suitable for short-distance travel.

A blond-haired and blue-eyed boy was sitting by the car window. He was about seven or eight years old, but he was quiet like a child.Not far away, two well-dressed men were sitting on the sofa talking.

"...The mining of the ore is going smoothly. Of course, this is also due to the compromise of the Malfoy family. Although the income is not high at present, in fact, the Muggle market is very broad, and the demand is very easy to meet." Among them A blond man speaks eloquently.

"I'm curious, there is no objection within your family about intervening in the Muggle world for trade activities?"

"The Steeleland family is notoriously stubborn, but they are not stupid. We have never been able to imitate the British people's pretentiousness." Mr. von Steeleland laughed, "It's a pity, Barodi The Si family is not involved in this field, I think you can join, you know, the risk of this project is not high."

"I will consider it," Edgar Barodis put down the teacup in his hand, "but at most it is my little personal property."

"You've always been so conservative." Mr. von Stillland was not surprised, he changed the subject, "Is the production of pine nut pearls not high this year?"

"I'm afraid so, climatic conditions have a great influence on this creature."

"Rare things are usually in short supply."

"As you can see."

The two gentlemen smiled and wished each other a happy cooperation, and then the carriage arrived at the destination, Riga.As the host, Mr. Barodis expressed his desire to invite the guests to have dinner at the right time, and Mr. von Stillland readily agreed.So the three gentlemen, two, one, and one, changed from a carriage to a cruise ship, and headed to Barodis Manor.

It has to be said that the island where the Barodis Manor is located has a beautiful environment. The flat and clean beach is soft with soft sand, the sea waves are bright and clear, and the warm wind blows with a slightly salty breath, which relieves people from boredom.

The cruise ship sailed into the pier, and everyone entered the manor along the path through the bushes.The blond boy walked last, and vaguely saw a pile of things scattered on the beach, and then a figure flashed past from the vestibule, he hesitated for a moment, and did not tell his father about this discovery.

"My wife happened to be out and will be back before dinner...Lola?" Mr. Barodis saw his daughter standing restrainedly outside the living room, "Mr. von Stillland, let me introduce, this is mine Daughter Lola."

"Good afternoon, Mr. von Stillerland." Lola stepped forward, pressing the corner of her skirt, and bowed.

"Good afternoon, sweet girl," said Mr. von Stilland with a smile, "this is my son Annos.

"Good afternoon." The boy's salute was impeccable.

"I think the kids are about the same age, maybe there will be more talking."

With the permission of the two gentlemen, Lola showed the young guests around. She had no similar experience, so she was a little nervous during the introduction.And this little guest only chimed in once in a while, and was not keen on talking, making it even more difficult to please.

Unknowingly, the two came to the beach.

Before Lola received a tip-off from the elf, she hurried back to her room to change her clothes. Before she had time to clean up the 'message', she glanced at the little guest in embarrassment in the face of the clothes all over the floor and the snack plate with residue.

"It just so happens that I'm hungry, we can have afternoon tea here." The boy said suddenly.

"Oh, of course!" This was exactly what Lola hoped, she called Yuri, and soon, a well-arranged picnic-style afternoon tea appeared in front of the two of them.It's just that the elf couldn't touch the owner's clothes, so Lola had to go into battle herself.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh." She folded the soiled laundry and put it aside, and then invited the little guests to try Latvian specialties.The boy noticed Lola holding her soiled hands behind her back. He thought for a moment, drew a wand from his pocket, and muttered a spell quickly.

"Thank you." Lola looked at her clean hands, then at the restored clothes, and smiled, "Your spell is so good, I wish it was like you...well, I mean, I know there are There's a household spell dedicated to folding laundry, but I don't know how to use it yet."

"No, you can learn it." The boy asked, "What stage have you learned in basic magic?"

"Only, only the initial stage." The elementary theoretical stage.

"Please don't be humble, I think we can communicate." The boy suddenly became interested, and he said something about his own learning of magic spells, with a strange accent mixed in between the sentences.

"I don't know how you precisely control your magic power?"

"I..." Lola was in a dilemma. She didn't know how to answer, and she didn't know what kind of response she would get after telling the other party the truth.

"Forgive me, maybe my question involves your family's privacy." The boy thought that Lola was unwilling to say, so he laughed at himself, "Should we go back, Miss Barodis?"

When Lola saw the young guest asking to leave suddenly, she realized that she was being impolite. She hesitated for a while, but decided to tell the truth, "I'm sorry, Mr. von Stillland, I'm afraid I can't answer your question."

"It's nothing." The boy echoed, even though he knew that some magic families did have secret magic theories, he still couldn't help being angry, "But you don't have to compliment me like that, maybe you really know more than I do ..."

"No, it's not. I just haven't awakened my magic power yet, so I don't know how to answer." Lola explained embarrassingly.

"I'm sorry." The boy said after a moment of silence.

"It's nothing." Lola forced a smile. "The family is full of pure blood. I don't think I will be a Squib. It's just that I have to do some things by myself for the time being...Mr. von Stillland?"

"Anos, you can call me that."

"Well, Anos, you can also call me Lola...Maybe, we can talk without this accent?"

"of course can."

"You, uh, you are the first person of the same age I saw, not counting cousins... I noticed that the spell you just chanted is somewhat similar to German in pronunciation."

"It's a kind of Old German."

"I see……"
