HP's Adagio Minor

Chapter 44 [44]

??

Lola leaned on the railing and watched the jagged tops and peaks of Kebne appear in the clouds. Unfortunately, the girl was too preoccupied to appreciate this rare beauty.

Just when she was thinking about how much magic power the portrait needed, her hair was suddenly pulled hard, making her scalp numb from the pain.She turned her head angrily, only to see a huge nostril blowing at her, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Call-"

Ryoma's cry carried the pride of a successful trick.

"Go away, stay away from me!"

Lola pulled out her wand angrily. She didn't know why she was so irritable today, but before she could say the spell, the wand was sent flying with a "snap", leaving only a red mark on the back of her hand .

"you--!"

The girl's frightened and timid appearance was so ridiculous in the eyes of the dragon horse, and it shook its head triumphantly, as if showing off its pair of yellow and golden horns.

"What's the matter, is it possible that the contracted beast still wants to attack its master?"

Lola was so angry that she laughed, she didn't want to pay attention to it at all, and when she was about to turn around to pick up the wand, Ryoma threw the unsuspecting her down the steps with a horn of her head, and fell headlong into yesterday's snowdrift .

This time, the girl was completely annoyed, she wiped off the snow on her face, got up as quickly as possible, and while the dragon horse was snorting, threw the snow ball mixed with a lot of mud and sand on it.

"Get out, get out—!"

Just as she bent down to catch the snowball again, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the dragon horse flapping its wings and raising its front hooves towards her. She quickly rolled to the side, and the horse's hooves sank deep into the snow. The failed Ryoma neighed ear-piercingly, and stomped on the girl again.

Lola couldn't avoid it, and instinctively curled up with her head in her hands.

At this moment, the imprint of the unfinished contract suddenly appeared on the forehead of Ryoma - the movement of riding the beast froze, and the powerful magical energy made it so painful that it could not move.It shook its head unwillingly, but it attacked again and was punished by the contract.

Lola took this opportunity to rush towards the porch. In a panic, she slipped and fell on the low handrail of the steps. The dragon-horse horn crown that followed her just happened to throw her on her back— ——At this moment, each person and beast were stunned.

The dragon horse immediately jumped into a rage, jumping up and down, trying to knock the girl off the horse.Lola tightly grabbed the dragon horse's mane, and leaned over the dragon horse's strong back in the posture of riding a long-tailed horse. She had no saddle or pedals, and she could only grasp the balance by clamping the horse's body with her legs.

Different from the long-tailed horse's soft and warm fur, the dragon's horse's scales are cool and slippery, and its wide wings flutter wildly, rolling up strands of wind blades, threatening to stop the girl from falling.But no matter how it tossed, Lola gritted her teeth and persisted.

[Never fall down. ]

That's all she could think of.

The girl's scream and Ryoma's neighing alarmed the students in the hall, and when they came out, Ryoma was already galloping to take the girl up into the sky.

"Lola—!"

Someone in the boiling crowd seemed to be shouting, but the girl had no time to pay attention—she was getting farther and farther away from the ground, and she was flustered.

The dragon horse is much smaller than the long-tailed horse, and even smaller than the Pegasus. It flies very fast and is very flexible.According to the members of the Beast Riding Club, this beast has a well-proportioned body, with well-defined joints and tendons, a deep and long chest, and tall and long limbs... In short, it is an excellent competitive riding beast.

Therefore, it is easy for it to turn sharply in mid-air, pause and other actions, but in the eyes of the onlookers, the scene is simply dangerous, and the girl was almost thrown off by it several times.

Heroes always want to save the beauty, and the Quidditch players caught up with them the fastest—Krum was superbly skilled, flying at the forefront, Alexey followed closely, and several other players followed behind—they Consciously arrange into the outflanking formation during the usual training.

Because the girl was on the back of the dragon horse, everyone didn't dare to use magic wands casually. They could only throw some binding spells at the pair of big wings, but it dodged them one by one.Although the broomstick was fast and flexible, it aroused Ryoma's anger, and it began to counterattack frantically, kicking and hitting, and blazing white flames from its mouth - igniting the broom tail of the slowest member of the team .

"Asshole, this guy can breathe fire, is it a dragon?!"

Swearing in the air, the team member received another kick and fell off the broom, only to be caught by his mates.

Ryoma seemed to find this very interesting, so he rushed into the group of broomsticks again. The other team members could only be busy saving themselves. Only Krum followed Ryoma nimbly.

Ryoma's attention was on the other people, and he no longer cared about throwing the girl off. Lola found a gap and took a deep breath, but she didn't dare to relax her vigilance at all.

At this time, a black cloud was pressing on her head, and a huge black griffin was slowly descending—Quesai Helk was sitting on top, with a few flying horses faintly following behind her.

The griffin knocked away the broomstick in disgust, and jumped straight at the dragon horse. Its sharp claws were like the eyes of its equally sharp owner, full of wild and powerful beauty.Facing the Griffon, Ryoma obviously didn't want to confront it head-on, so he led Lola to speed up the flight desperately.

The wind was blowing, and Lola turned her head to look, only to see the griffin and the broomstick chasing closely behind.Ryoma suddenly lowered its flight altitude after a roundabout, and it skimmed through the forest. Branches and leaves grazed Lola's hands and face, forcing him to lower his head.

After rushing out of the forest, the dragon horse flitted across the lake, its vigorous and snow-white figure was reflected in the lake water, and the cold water vapor woke up the girl's already chaotic head.

[You can't sit still like this.]

Lola collected herself after thinking about it, and shouted in a slightly trembling voice:

"The wand is flying!"

??

"No, Laura, she—"

When Anuosi heard about this, he immediately dropped his pen and rushed out of the library.

There are many students surrounded by the long perforated colonnade, all of them raised their heads and pointed to the distant sky.Because he was not tall enough, he went down the steps and stood in the snowdrift outside——looking up, he saw a few broomsticks moving rapidly around a horse riding a beast, which was lying prone on the ground. silhouette.

After a while, the Griffin and Pegasus came from a distance, and the whole scene suddenly became more chaotic.

Anos's mind was blank, only a trace of complicated emotions shrouded his heart like a fog.He couldn't help but took a few steps forward, but almost tripped - looking down, he saw a magic wand stuck horizontally in the middle of the stone crack, the handle of the quaint wand was shaking, but he couldn't move it.

Here's Lola's wand!

"what is the problem?"

In the hall, the current vice president of the student union, Wofford, and several members of the student union also squeezed in, followed by several senior seniors, and the professor who had just finished class.But no one could tell why, it happened so suddenly.

The legs of the student who was in charge of guarding the dragon horse were trembling. This oriental beast rider is usually honest, but today he just went out for a walk as usual, and this kind of thing happened. How can he explain it to the president!

"I didn't expect it to attack magically. No wonder Asians say this creature is extremely difficult to tame."

Valentinghanger raised his head and stared at the white riding beast. If it didn't look too much like a Pegasus, with its pair of golden horns and white flames in its mouth, it could be compared to a small charmander .

"I think this horse is quite suitable for Miss Barodis. There is a saying-their fate is destined to be entangled."

Reye Hane spoke the lines of a certain drama in a tone that was optimistic about the show. This cynical behavior was unanimously stared at by the people around him, and finally changed his words silently, "Ah, the boss is so majestic!"

??

In the air, the men and horses of the Beast Riding Club also pursued again according to the outflanking formation.

The beast riders were agitated. Although they didn't pay attention to the Quidditch players flying around on the branches, the gap on the lake was too large. In order to ensure the safety of the girl on the dragon horse, they had to work together—for a while. , pegasus, griffin, and broomsticks all scurrying about, dazzling the sky of Durmstrang.

The dragon horse continued with its weird pace, forcefully bypassing the two pegasus that blocked it, and its speed seemed to be faster than before - occasionally a few magic wands were also skillfully avoided by it.

Lola, on its back, coughed violently from shouting, but she didn't want to give up, so she kept shouting, "Here comes the wand!"

The wand trembled again on the ground, followed by a loud noise, and the gravel splashed. Anos put away the wand and pulled it out from the deep gap with his hand.

"The wand is coming—!"

The girl yelled again, and this time she finally succeeded, and when the familiar touch of the wand returned to her hand, it was followed by a kind of magic - she suddenly no longer felt afraid.

"Stop and obey my orders!"

Lola pointed her wand at Ryoma's head, and she heard it grit its teeth, but she didn't dare to soften her heart.

"Did you hear that, stop! I don't want to hurt you, but you are too much!"

The dragon horse moved its ears and slowed down obediently, but soon it flapped its wings heavily—the speed suddenly reached its peak—and it took the girl to climb high into the sky, flying almost completely vertically. The crowd below roared.

Lola hugged Ryoma's neck tightly, her feet were already hanging in the air, and her whole body was floating like a flag. The strong wind at high altitude made her unable to open her eyes. Tears welled up due to discomfort, but she didn't have time to wipe them off.

"damn it!"

In extreme panic and fear, she dropped all her shackles and cursed loudly.

Ryoma led the girl through the thick clouds. In the thin air, the sun was soft and warm, shining on the vast sea of ​​clouds.Under such a beautiful scene, the girl chanted spells one after another at Ryoma—but more than half of the spells hit on the scales were bounced off—she had no choice but to beat Ryoma's head hard.

The griffin quickly caught up, and it grabbed the dragon horse's wings fiercely, but the dragon horse suddenly sank, and then got into the clouds, as if deliberately playing a hiding game.Lola looked at its broken wings, and was really afraid that it would not be able to hold on and fall from a high altitude, so that she, who was riding on it, would inevitably fall to her death.

Thinking of this, she secretly became afraid of her reckless behavior just now.

"What on earth are you trying to do!" The girl's voice was very helpless, "How will this end? Hurry down, it's too dangerous!"

Although the language was difficult, Ryoma seemed to understand Lola's words. It hesitated a little, but in the next second, it was hit by a light on one wing, and its whole body tilted uncontrollably.

"Lola!" Krum's voice suddenly appeared below Lola, and he shouted, "Jump down, I'll catch you!"

Just when Lola was hesitating, the griffin approached again. Herke's eyes were as cold as glaciers, and the moment he passed the girl, he grabbed her cloak and pulled her off Ryoma's back. down.

The dragon horse roared in pain, and the Griffon master threw the girl towards Krum, and then counted the dragon horse with the wand in his hand—the dragon horse's body froze all of a sudden, and its wings and hooves turned into stone. There was a mesh muzzle on its head, and a thick chain around its neck—the griffin's claws gripped the chain tightly, dragging its rapidly falling body up, and then croaked triumphantly.

Although Ryoma was unwilling, he was in a terrible mess, and his magic power and physical strength had reached the upper limit.It struggled to raise its head, looked at the blurry figure flying farther and farther away, finally panted heavily, and calmed down completely.

??

Lola fell from Krum's arms to the ground, and her legs couldn't help but feel weak. She was still holding on to her wand and a bloody white mane.

"Lola!" Alexei ran over first, leaned slightly and said to the girl, "Lola, how are you? Hey, smile girl, you look so beautiful when you smile!"

His words seemed to be naturally optimistic, and Lola slowly came back to her senses before realizing that there were many familiar faces around her.Everyone rushed to express their concern to her, but the girl smiled forcedly and repeated: "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm not hurt.".

Seeing that Lola was fine, Alexei heaved a sigh of relief, and then reported to his captain, "...Everyone is fine...It's a pity that a few brooms were destroyed..."

Viktor patted the boy on the shoulder. He saw him desperately saving his teammate who had fallen from the broom, and he also saw him distract other mounted beasts who were attacking his teammate.

"You did very well."

A simple compliment made Alexei's face turn red all of a sudden.

Then, the Quidditch captain said to the crowd, "You save a few people to send Barodis to the infirmary for examination, and everyone else goes back inside."

His prestige has always been very high, so the lower grade students have no objection.

Alexei looked at the girl's face and hands, then winked at the boy next to her, and seeing Anos' understanding after meeting his gaze, he nodded and followed the captain to the hall walk.

At this moment, several student union officers are very busy - they have to explain the reason of the matter to the professors who came to ask, and at the same time they have to direct the student union members to disperse the crowd, and even have to do it themselves. Separated from the students - of course, this is not counting the random command of the vice president Wofford.

On the contrary, several prefects led by Ma Weitt quickly notified the other clubs to evacuate, and asked the senior students to leave the school hall with the junior students and return to the safe dormitory.

As for the animal riding club where the accident happened this time, only the acting president and a few students were left behind. Once you leave the beast riding base camp, you won't pay attention to those idiots who are jumping with anger.

Although the Quidditch team is an excellent example of righteousness and bravery, because many players were injured, they were immediately taken back to the exclusive lounge - several professional team doctors took turns to check - the game is about to start, and each of them can It's Karkaroff's treasure, and if there is one hair missing, this headmaster who regards honor as his life should be furious.

medical room

"...These scratches are fine. When you cast the spell again tomorrow, they will heal completely without leaving any scars... As for this place, it's just a sprain, and it will recover after a few days of rest."

As Mrs. Khametova said, she spread the sticky transparent ointment on Lola's wrist, and then stuffed the bandage into the boy's hand, "...When the ointment dries, you can simply bandage it. Learned about it in first aid class."

Anos nodded, and watched Mrs. Khametova push the door open. An exaggerated howl came from outside, and then disappeared into the sound of closing the door.

"Oh, you bad boys, who told you to fight!" Madame Khametova said angrily.

Lola and Anos sat quietly on the edge of the bed. After the ointment dried and turned white, the boy carefully manipulated the wand and let the bandages wrap around it.

"Okay." After a while, he said.

Lola didn't hear this, she was in a daze, and when she realized it, she realized that the atmosphere was a bit cold, she looked at her friend quietly, and found that he was having a straight face, apparently not very happy.

After another moment of silence, the boy suddenly said,

"sorry."

""

Anos lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes covered his eyes, "I should be with you, accidents are always prone to happen in crowded places."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at Lola, his blue eyes were full of self-blame.

"Oh no, I don't blame anyone for this matter. If you want to blame it, you should also blame me... I shouldn't be entangled with it. I don't know why, but I got into a fight with it when my head got hot today." Lola clutched her wrist, Sighing, "I won't be so reckless in the future, I mean, it's too irrational and easy to worry."

"You were brave, everyone saw it, and you didn't even cry."

Hearing this, Lola's eye circles turned red, and Anos quickly said, "No, I mean, you did a good job, you saw you aimed the flash spell at its eyes, so it fluttered Twice, almost hit..."

When he said this, he paused for a rare moment, and then he couldn't speak anymore—tears were already rolling in the girl's eyes. It landed on her ripped robe.

In the next second, the girl immediately erased them, she didn't want people to feel that she was cowardly and cowardly.

"I just can't figure it out...why it always comes to mess with me." Her voice was full of grievances, with a rare fragility, "Obviously I have already untied the curse, and I didn't bind it with a contract, Why does it do this..."

"Hey, I have afternoon tea snacks today, and I also took some lemon black tea..."

Vichy came in, followed by Pierre, Adrienne, Tully and Dai—the boys were shocked when they saw the girl.

"What's the matter, the wound hurts?"

Vichy piled all the things in his arms on the table, leaned over and asked with concern.

"It's just a sprained wrist, and the medicine has already been applied." Lola waved her hand, but she frowned slightly in pain because the movement touched her wrist. "It's just that I feel a little scared now, so..."

"Oh, Merlin! How could you be afraid? Do you know that you look so majestic? It's like a Valkyrie, really!"

Pierre shouted excitedly, then was slapped on the head by Adrian, and then he hugged his head and remained silent.

"We understand that everything is over, and you need to rest now." Adri said gently, noticing the girl's trembling hands and pale face.

Such relief was exactly what Lola needed, but she didn't notice that Anos, who was sitting on the side, silently clenched his hands into fists.

After a while, the boys talked about what they had just heard:

"...The beast rider who caused trouble will be sentenced, and the Society for the Protection of Magical Animals has already intervened."

"According to the crime of intentionally harming a wizard, it has a high probability of being sentenced to death. No beast riding is allowed to harm a human wizard."

"Oh, Tully, when it comes to hurting, I don't think it did it intentionally." Dai's understanding of the matter was obviously different, "It seems to care about Lola very much, I think it wants to get close to its master from the bottom of its heart... "

"But Lola didn't make a contract with it."

"No, the contract is just one step away, isn't it? So I don't think it even hates Lola, otherwise it wouldn't be flying like this-to be honest, the picture is quite beautiful!"

"Oh, come on, please don't be so naive..."

……

In the evening, when Lola returned to the dormitory, Cary had placed a special 'sick dinner' on the tea table.She tried to hold the spoon with her left hand, and took a few mouthfuls with difficulty, but the food in her mouth was not as much as it fell on the ground.

She put down the tableware, and suddenly felt no appetite, Ryoma's handsome figure, and those misty black eyes—how could such a beautiful creature be associated with the death penalty?

The author has something to say:

A chapter with a lot of words, I am too lazy to segment it.It has been reported that the role of the heroine is not enough. The author still believes that it is difficult to reflect the life of the wizard, the life of the school, and other major atmospheres with the lens around the heroine, so more or less it needs to be passed The perspectives of other supporting characters, or voice-overs to summarize... In this way, in some chapters, the heroine will have fewer opportunities to appear, but I will continue to write about the heroine's campus life... In the update of this novel, The pace of the story and the story is really slow, but the author really enjoys such a slow and detailed portrayal of characters and telling the storyline-this is a wizard farming article, and the cliff has no great ambitions, I am absolutely sure ...
