HP's Adagio Minor

When Lola came back, she learned that the visiting Malfoy father and son had left .Not only that, but her father, Mr. Barodis, and Mr. Toning Poxon were also absent--they had attended some impromptu party together and were not coming back to dine.

Sally Ann was surprised by Lola's embarrassment, but she didn't get to the bottom of it. She comforted Lola a few words and put the matter behind her.After washing up, the two little girls had lunch together affectionately.

"By the way, what are you wearing for the dance tonight?" Sally Ann brought up the topic, "I'm going to wear that rose-colored ice silk dress, anyway, this is not a formal social dance, so there's no need to dress too formally. "

"I brought several dresses, but I'm not sure which one to wear, the green one?"

"You mean the one your grandma gave you?" Seeing Lola nodding, Sally Ann showed a please expression, "Lola, I think the material of this velvet dress is too heavy to set off your cuteness. Besides, that style is already old...I said you should really pay more attention to the trends in the wizarding world!"

Seeing that Lola still looked ignorant, Sally Ann felt that it was necessary for her to share some dressing skills with her.So Lola, under the leadership of Sally Ann, had a preliminary taste of "the latest trend in the wizarding world".When the two little girls dressed up and walked out of the dressing room, it was already a quarter past five in the afternoon.

Before departure, Lola received news from her father that Mr. Barodis was going back to Riga to deal with some matters, and he could not continue to play with Lola here. After the "Ice Sea Festival" is over, take Lola home.

As one of the organizers, Mr. Toning Poxen was naturally too busy to take care of the two little girls, while Sally Ann and Lola enjoyed their leisure.The venue for the dance was in the public hall on the west side of the town, and Lola and Sally Ann only had to walk a few minutes to get there.Before entering the arena, Lola realized that she didn't have a dance partner. Sally Ann laughed at her, "We haven't officially entered the social world yet, so we don't need a dance partner. Follow me to meet more people later, your social circle is too small. gone."

Due to the limited space for the ball, children under social age were gathered in a small auditorium.Soon, Lola met the poisonous little Mr. Malfoy again. In the mouth of this British young master, everything was so dull, and nothing could compare to Malfoy Manor in England.But this time, he did not point the finger at Lola. Although the Barodis family is not a famous family, it is obviously inappropriate to make fun of nobles from other countries in public.

The Romanov brothers hesitated a little after hearing the surname of Barodis. Lola went in without knowing it, and still followed Sallyanne and the other noble children to salute one by one.

The dinner is a buffet, mostly Nordic dishes, which most people are not used to, and Lola is one of them.Some people simply stopped eating. Anyway, from the perspective of noble etiquette, it is enough to have tasted and not be rude.

Sally Ann and a few familiar girls were sitting in the corridor outside the auditorium, talking about a magic perfume. Lola listened to it for a while, feeling a little bored.She came to the dessert table and had to say that the desserts here are very delicious.Lola couldn't resist eating a little of each flavor when someone approached her as she ate a chocolate granola ball with shredded coconut.

"Lola?" Anos, who hadn't seen him for a few months, was tanned, and the candlelight reflected his blond hair. Just when Lola couldn't help but compare her hair color with it, a handkerchief was handed over to him. In front of her eyes, "Wipe it, it's all over your face."

A decent lady should never give people a rude feeling when eating. Lola hurriedly took the handkerchief and wiped it quickly.Anos curled the corners of his mouth, he seldom smiled, and his blue eyes exuded a friendly atmosphere, changing his old-fashioned and serious appearance.

Such an outstanding appearance naturally attracted the attention of everyone (especially the girls present), so naturally, Lola's embarrassment could not escape their eyes.

"It's gone?" Lola was relieved when she saw the boy nodding.Just as she was about to say something else, the snack stand on the side fell over for some reason, and all the chocolate balls inside fell out, not to mention staining her tutu skirt, and rolling everywhere.

Lola was stunned, and Anos was also stunned, but he quickly understood, and his eyes slowly scanned the audience.At this moment, Lola felt ashamed. No matter who saw it, it was her fault. Someone seemed to be saying in her ear, "Look at that, that Miss Barodis is really not careful enough."

For a moment Lola didn't know what to do - pick up the chocolate balls one by one?Such behavior is undoubtedly embarrassing and ridiculous.So, ignore it?This is not the way a lady should behave.Among the surrounding crowd, some people exclaimed, some frowned, and some couldn't help but sneer, "Why are you still in a daze? In a noble family like ours, who can do without a few magic wands, just wave it and it's over?"

Anos glared at the sarcastic person, and after seeing the other party shut up in embarrassment, he pulled out his wand, and a few cleansing spells quickly restored everything to tidy.Then he reached out to Lola and invited, "If you want, lovely Miss Barodis, please allow me to take you out for a walk."

"Of course, it's my pleasure."

No one in the audience spoke any more. After watching the two leave the restaurant, the discussion became louder.

"I've never heard of the surname Barodis. Is he a recent nobleman in the wizarding world?"

"I heard that this lady has no magic fluctuations until now, it seems that the rumor is true!"

"Don't be funny, how could a Squib have the courage to attend such an occasion, and still get to know the kid from the von Stilland family?"

"Don't underestimate him. It is said that when he awakened his magic power, he forcibly destroyed a building!"

……

All kinds of gossip made Mr. Malfoy couldn't help but sneered. He glanced at the girls not far away, and then moved his eyes to Miss Toning Poxon who had just learned the news. After chasing after him drumming, he couldn't help but snort coldly, this boring country place.

??

When Sally Ann found Lola, she was staring at the porch in a daze, watching a faint figure go away.

"Who is that?"

"A friend," Lola replied absently.

"a boy?"

"It's not what you think. His name is Anos. I mentioned it to you in my last letter."

"Okay, I remember! Obviously he helped you out, and escorted you out."

"I think so," Lola exhaled, "don't talk about that, why are you here?"

"Lola, I should have been with you all the time, and they would say that!" Sally Anne held Lola's arm tightly, and said angrily, "This party is too bad, I don't want to stay here for a moment. There! I swear I won't give those guys a good look, it's so rude!"

"...I'm fine, let's go back."

The children couldn't join the all-night party, and Lola went to bed early when she got back to the small building.Lola tossed and turned all night, and woke up very tired in the morning.

"I'm sure to attract the murlocs this time!" Sally Ann finished her grooming early, bouncing back and forth in front of the dining table, looking extremely excited, "Oh, Merlin, I can't wait... Lola, you Come with me too?"

Lola stared blankly, and Sally Ann turned her gaze to her father, "Dad, Lola can also participate, right?"

"That's a good idea. If Lola is willing," Mr. Toning Poxon smiled kindly. "I'm worried that I won't have time to take care of you when I entertain other guests. If you two can take care of each other, it will be fine." It could not be better!"

"We'll both take care of ourselves, you can rest assured! Won't you, Lola?"

"Yes, but I..." Lola was a little embarrassed. In the Egil Concert of "Bringing Miracles with Singing", the competition was not only about singing.The singer drives the output of magic power through singing, and then spreads the sound to the distant sea area, so as to attract the duet of the murlocs.Obviously, for Lola who has no fluctuations in magic power, this is something she can't do.

Seeing Lola's helpless expression, Sally Ann realized that she seemed to have hit her heart, "Oh, Lola! I'm not..."

"I know," interrupted Lola, "I'd be proud too, my dear cousin, if you could make a big splash at the concert!"

"That's true, Sally Ann, and I'll be proud of you too."

Under the comfort of her father and Lola, Sally Ann finally calmed down her guilt. When she stepped onto the boat, her slim back made the boys around her unable to help peeking.

"Lola?" Mr. Toning Poxon said lovingly, "Do you want to entertain the guests with uncle? This time, world-renowned wizarding families have been invited, such as the British Malfoy family..."

Two platinum-blond heads with haughty faces and contemptuous eyes suddenly appeared in Lola's mind, "My dear uncle, if you allow me, I hope to enjoy Sally Ann's singing well. Such an opportunity is too rare!"

After obtaining Mr. Toning Poxon's consent, Lola politely took her leave.Mr. Toning Poxen looked at her well-behaved appearance, recalled his sister's sad eyes, and couldn't help sighing.
