HP's Adagio Minor

Lapland in September has entered a rainy autumn.

After Lola came out of the student fireplace, she skillfully cast the dusting spell on herself. She got a lot of tan, and her healthy wheat-colored skin looked youthful.On the way back to the dormitory, people kept saying hello to her—the outstanding performance on the Quidditch tour made everyone in the school know her—the girl was in a happy mood, and the beautiful floral dress and sweet smile made the boys move away. Do not open your eyes.

From the luggage that the elf had sent to the room, she dug out the small gifts she had prepared and planned to distribute them to her friends.As soon as I went down the stairs, I met a familiar face - the boys rushed together, each holding a newly tailored school uniform in their hands.

"What a hassle, and I don't want to... Hey, Lola!"

Pierre was talking to Adrienne when he saw the girl showing a bright smile first.

"Good afternoon!" Lola walked towards the boys. "It's nice to meet you!"

"It is flattering to hear that, Your Highness."

Ever since she acted as the 'Princess of the North' during the pre-match performance, people have been using this to make fun of her.

"This summer vacation is really fun, isn't it?" Tully leaned over, "I went to England, and Stonehenge is so mysterious!"

"Sounds great, man! Too bad I didn't go anywhere, and my mom thought I was lost if I hadn't been home for the last week."

"In that case, you can choose not to join the Quidditch team."

"No!"

"Then don't complain."

"Hey, I didn't!"

"Arguing again." Dai Xiao said, "The two of them are always like this."

The others all made helpless expressions.

Lola's Spanish snacks were exchanged for a travel souvenir silver coin with Stonehenge gleaming on it; a box of pomegranate sweet cakes from the Wizard's Bazaar in Jerusalem; and a very fancy bookmark.

"Oh, Vichy!" Lola said, holding a bookmark with light green leaf veins, "This is so beautiful!"

Pierre and Edrie didn't go anywhere during the summer vacation, so they didn't have any travel souvenirs, but they decided to treat everyone to a big meal on the weekend, and this proposal was approved by everyone.

"By the way, where's Anos?"

Lola asked suspiciously, but the others said they hadn't seen it.

"In that case, please..."

After saying goodbye to the boys, Lola felt hungry, and it was tea time, so she decided to go to the restaurant and try some delicious butter cookies.

On the way, a group of freshmen visited the school under the leadership of the senior prefects. Their ignorant appearance reminded her of her former self—but the timidity and anxiety at the beginning had become distant and strange.

Just watching, a familiar figure came out of the office of the Black Magic Association, and the girl was surprised to see the girl, "Lola? Why are you here?"

"Someone put a mud spell in the corridor on the first floor, so I can only go here and take a detour, you—" Lola looked at the closed black carved door, "You joined the Black Magic Association?"

"No," Anos shook his head, "There are places reserved for this year, and I'm just one of them."

"Then who else is there?" Lola asked, seeing the boy pursing his lips to her, she was stunned in doubt, "Huh?"

"There are two more in our class, including you."

"what!"

The girl exclaimed, and then quickly covered her mouth—this place is too close to the principal's office, and it is really not suitable for making loud noises.The two ran down the stairs, and Lola followed Anos closely for a long time before recovering.

"You said me too?"

"Well, the list was drawn up by Professor Sean, and all students with black talents were selected."

"But, I don't...my father, you know he is always strict, and he won't allow me to join the Black Magic Association."

"Don't worry, it's just a draft quota, and the specifics need to be evaluated."

"So it is!" Lola breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked tentatively, "Do you really want to be selected?"

"I'm still thinking about it." Anos saw a hint of concern in the girl's eyes, so he said seriously, "I believe that not everyone will be obsessed with black magic and lose their minds. Joining the association is more about An affirmation of ability."

This is true, but Lola still doesn't want to see her friends be influenced by those 'fanatics', but she also understands that Anos's mind is much more determined than hers in many things.Thinking of this, Lola glanced at the boy again, only his clean sideburns, side cheeks, and a little bit of nose tip could be seen from the side, but even so, Ren Jiu gave off a handsome and stern look.

"Thank you for the holiday gift, my gift in return is already in your locker - I asked Vichy to put it in."

"……How do you like it?"

"A gift? Of course, this is the most beautiful starry sky kaleidoscope I have ever seen!"

"As long as you like it, it's the first time I've made this."

"Really?" the girl was surprised, "No wonder it's exactly the same as the starry sky I saw last time! Oh, Merlin, you still know how to do this? Where did you learn it..."

The girl looked like a cute little sparrow. Anos looked at her with a faint smile on his lips.

There was no change at the beginning of the new semester. At the opening ceremony, Principal Karkaroff welcomed the new batch of purebloods with a sweet tone. He also commended the awards won by several associations. But a familiar figure was missing——Heinrich Mandeln graduated with excellent grades in all subjects, leaving behind the president of the student union and the president of the Black Magic Association. But before the results of the election polls come down, no one can say for sure who will take office.

After Viktor Klum signed with the Bulgarian national team, Alexei became the main player and vice-captain of the school team with his outstanding record, training almost every day.However, since that inter-school competition, his sunny and handsome appearance has impressed many girls, and he often receives love letters from the Allied Girls' School.

From the second grade, in addition to the compulsory courses, you can also take some interesting subjects. Of course, no matter how you arrange your courses, you must obtain fixed credits, otherwise you will have to repeat the grade.

Among a lot of elective courses, Lola chose 'Divination', "Elementary Skills? Magic Painting" and "Ancient Runes" as her electives. Although she liked astronomy very much, when she thought of a set of formulas to calculate stars The trajectory of the movement, I can't help but have a headache.

Professor Lemon, who teaches divination, is probably in his thirties, squinting his eyes all day long, as if he hasn't woken up.He likes to arrange the classrooms in strange shapes, and every week there are different themes in class, such as deserts or tropical swamps, all kinds of decorations are amazing.

In the class, you will learn all kinds of divination methods. In addition to the traditional crystal ball and tarot cards, you can also use stones, leftover bones or tea leaves for divination. Most boys think this course is ridiculous. Extreme, but Lola seemed quite interested.

On this day, I learned the ancient Norwegian ice divination - holding ice cubes in my hands, rubbing until both sides are smooth, and then recite the prayer three times with the admiration that everything is a god, and then carefully observe the ice cubes.

"Concentrate, breathe slowly... what do you see?"

Professor Lemon's voice was a bit pervasive, and the boys who made up the credits talked with a sad face:

"I don't see anything, what about you?"

"I don't know, I only see my hands through this thing, oh shit!"

"I'm freezing to death. If I cover it again, the ice will melt away."

The boys whispered loudly, and Professor Lemon didn't remind him, "Be careful and don't affect others."

The most focused person present was probably Lola—her hands were red from the cold, the ice melted into water on her hands, and slipped down her wrists into her sleeves—as the only girl, she was called to the podium again Demonstrated in public, but this time the result of divination was unexpected.

"Oh? Doom and hell, you've come to that conclusion?"

Professor Lemon stared in surprise (of course, even so, his eyes were still just slits), and after listening to the girl's self-analysis, he looked at the ice carefully, "Yes, the fog is blue and gray, and there is a The curved white mark is indeed what you said..."

At this time, the bell for the end of get out of class just rang, and Professor Lemon said as usual, "That's all for today. Everyone writes a paper based on their own observations and submits it next Tuesday."

After all the boys fled quickly, he stopped the girl who was walking at the end, and said, "Actually, bad luck is not terrible, Lola, everything has two sides, you should look at the good side."

??

Until entering the secret study room, Lola Renjiu didn't want to understand what the two sides of bad luck are. She told the portrait about it, but in exchange for an understatement of relief:

"You may just be wrong."

Since Lola's magical power instilled into the crystal ball can turn on the climate change in the painting, the portraits entering the 'midsummer' often have their hair tied up, "When it comes to divination, they are naturally extremely devout, and they pay attention to specialization and precision. Is it possible to be a prophet if you are like you who are looking at flowers and looking at flowers like this, trying things here and there?"

"I don't think about it, I just care a little bit, because I haven't... oh well, let's not talk about it, I have to let my head relax, it's about to explode!"

Lola rested on the sofa and stared at the ice cubes for the whole class. Her eyes were sore and sore, and it took a while to recover.

"..."

The portrait looks at the girl silently until she opens her eyes.

"Today, as usual, first demonstrate the spells you learned in class, and then compare them with the ones in the notes. This will help you experience the magic skills yourself."

The girl had no objection to this arrangement, and after practicing again and again, her physical strength and magical power reached the upper limit.

"Huh, let me rest for a while." The girl wiped off her sweat and sat back on the sofa.

"Your hair has grown a lot."

"That's because the food at home is good, and I have taken good care of it." Lola lifted the ends of her hair proudly, "Although there is not much difference in the color of the top of the head and the ends of the hair now, I still plan to wait for the hair to grow longer Then, trim it a bit."

"How long will it take?"

"I don't know, anyway, I will never touch any hair growth agent, or hair growth spell, never!" After finishing speaking vowedly, Lola quickly turned around and shouted at the half-smiling portrait, " Hey, Ruddy! Don't you think it's because of my long hair that I've improved so quickly in Charms recently!"

"Is not it?"

"That's not the case!" Seeing the noncommittal look of the portrait, the girl became anxious, "I have been practicing all summer vacation, of course, it's just some ordinary spells, and there are elves to supervise... But I rely on myself, not my hair ——Hmph, I have checked in Grandpa's big study a long time ago, what kind of magic power control, it is just because of the mutual integration of specific magic magnetic field and magic source, so in fact, all this depends on the wizard himself in the end!"

"That's right," the portrait smiled, "I didn't expect you to learn to think for yourself."

"You admit that you bluffed me?" Lola raised her eyebrows. "You bullied me as a freshman, it's really unreasonable."

"No, I didn't lie, it's just that the curse in the blood has faded... Besides, long hair suits you better, Princess Frost, huh?"

"Well, I admit that you inspired me to choose that wig. The long silver hair is beautiful."

"Same with long blonde hair."

"Yes, so I won't cut it so short anymore. It's very convenient to tie it up every day like now."

The girl and the portrait were bickering and looking at the small disc on the table. The magic light screen that emerged on it was constantly looping the performance of the Quidditch interschool competition. The high-definition close-up and the full-field perspective are the most advanced Multi-angle switching crystal screen - this comes from Professor Manninger's generosity, and is used to repay the wish of the 'old ghost'.

"Aren't you bored yet?"

"..." The portrait was silent for a while and said, "Actually, I have nothing to do every day, except look at this."

"Well, I've thought about that a long time ago."

Lola took out a few fist-sized crystal balls from the pocket of her cloak, "Because you can only stay here, so I recorded some things, um, they are everyday things...although they are small, and the time is not too long. It's long, but I can replace it regularly."

The girl said that she placed the crystal balls neatly on the top of the flat pillows of the sofa in order, tightly adhering to the picture frame.

"This is just a basic magic product, so you have to use magic power to play it, but I have asked someone to help improve it, and it can be played continuously for about an hour-you can watch whichever you want," the girl made a touching movement , "Anyway, it is sensed through the shadow, so as long as you raise your hand to cover it, it can be turned on even if you don't touch it."

"It's very creative and thoughtful...you and your little knights did it"

"Anos, Adrian, and the others all helped, and I even went to ask senior Frankovsk for advice—he's a student assistant in the Magic Skills? Tools class."

The girl gently opened one of them and introduced, "This is our new hall, this is the corridor, outside is the snow mountain, this is our student tower, and my room..."

The portrait looked at the picture in the crystal ball, although it was a bit blurry, and it shook violently from time to time because of walking around, but no matter what, it made him feel a little more moved in his heart.

"Thank you."

It said thank you very seriously.

Since then, Lola often used the crystal ball to record the video, and then brought it back to the secret study. Every time, the portrait was relished—it was so lonely after sleeping for such a long time.

"It's a pity that I can't hear the sound. The students in the choir actually sang well."

"It's okay, look, their expressions are more devoted."

"..."
