HP's Adagio Minor

??

This year's temperature drop came very early, and the whole November was almost submerged by the cold snap.

After five consecutive days of blizzard, the owls finally had a chance to reach this "barren land" where the living environment is harsh.At dinner, Lola was piled up like most people with all kinds of packages. In addition to mail-order clothes, there were birthday presents-even though she had passed the birthday party a week ago, she still received gifts. Puts people in a good mood.

Sally Ann has recently learned the stacking and shrinking spell. These miniature gadgets bulge the envelope, and she still shares everything she has seen and heard about Hogwarts with Lola in the letter—"The time-turner application form is handed in." No reply, the Ministry of Magic is too stingy', 'I can't wait to buy back all the delicious food in Hogsmeadry, I've run out of pocket money this month', 'Captain Hufflepuff Cedric Dee Gorey is a handsome guy and they beat Gryffindor...Harry Potter fell from the sky and everyone freaked out...There is a restraint in the sky, at least a hundred dementors floating above our heads , disgusting"...

Reading, writing, and posting letters, Lola was very busy this evening. The last time her gift with the letter was a contrasting picture of a hippogriff and a griffin drawn by herself, and Sally Ann and Mary Roca seemed She was particularly interested in these flying magical creatures, so she began to draw Pegasus and Dragon Horse this time.

At this time, the boy's exclamation came from outside the window. Under the night, several figures jumped up and down on the white field in the distance, which was particularly conspicuous.

"What's that? How come they're so close?"

"It's the watchers. They can't cross the campus border. Professor Baisuoya said that the astrology has changed recently, so this kind of biological activity is frequent."

"Hey, you lower grades, be quiet!"

"Shut up, upstairs, we haven't spoken yet, when will you yell?"

"It's so noisy, I'm rushing to finish my paper!"

"Everyone listen to me and put their heads back, otherwise I will deduct points!"

"Isn't it okay to look at the scenery? Do you think we are birds in a cage?!"

"Whoever looks again will deduct points!"

"If you have the ability, you can close it. With such a small window, do you still know who I am?"

"Hahahaha, what a fool!"

"Haha, you're so stupid!"

……

The students who stopped the outdoor class early were full of energy. Lola listened for a while amusedly, and closed the window until her hands and cheeks were numb from the cold.

??

In the early morning of the weekend, most people were still sleeping late, but Lola got up early.Facing the mirror, she tied her blond hair into a neat ponytail, and then rubbed her blue eye circles—she hasn’t slept very well recently, and often wakes up in the middle of the night (it is said that this is because of her tall stature), and in the mirror The curves of the girl's body have slowly stretched, and her lovely round apple face has also become pointed, which looks different from when she first entered school.

Going downstairs from the dormitory, when she passed the second-grade common room on the fifth floor, she suddenly remembered that Anos was officially elected as a member of the Black Magic Association not long ago—Professor Sean and Professor Scott were in front of the whole class. The news was announced - and since then, the boy has not been seen at any time other than class, not even at mealtimes.

To be honest, she has long since lost the anger she had at the beginning, and she still doesn't know how to ease the cold relationship between the two, especially when they can't see each other at all.

[Perhaps, he is deliberately avoiding me. ]

Thinking of this, the girl sighed in disappointment.

??

On the way to the secret study, the girl kept waving her wand, melting the ice and snow to create a path, and when she walked through, the path had to be filled with snow again.In order to keep her whereabouts secret, she had to adopt this stupid method, but in this way, her walking speed became very slow, and when she finally reached the boulder, her magic power was almost overdrawn.

After resting for a while beside the rock covered with icicles, she softly sang the tune of the family tree, and the dense magic power in the air lingered around her, forming streams of transparent energy.Just as she was pressing her hand on the boulder, there was a sudden sound from behind——

Lola turned her head and saw Anos on the soft snow layer not far away, holding up the levitation spell all over his body so that he was walking on the ground except for some snowflakes on the upper of his shoes.Simple as it may seem, it's not something anyone can do, at least not Lola.

The eyes of the two met, and the blue eyes that almost merged with the snow quickly moved away - Anos turned around and left with a cold face.

"and many more!"

Lola couldn't help making a sound, the white mist exhaled from her mouth almost covered her sight, but the cold air was condensed by silence.She opened her mouth, wanting to thank her for the anonymous birthday gift, and to apologize for her previous slip of the tongue, or to thank him for his help—in fact, the number of times he has helped her is already countless... She has so many I wanted to say many words to the boy, but the gathering of so many words made the girl feel at a loss.

Perhaps sensing something, Anos stopped, stared straight ahead, and said in a hoarse voice, "...I didn't follow you, I just passed by."

After speaking, he continued to walk forward, but the corner of the thick cloak was pulled.

"I know!" The girl chased after her with a deep kick and a shallow kick, sinking deep in the snow below her knees, "I didn't mean that, I just..."

The more anxious she was, the more she didn't know what to say, the cold and dry eye sockets were filled with damp water vapor.

Seeing the grievance of Lola's red eyes, Anos's heart softened, and his turbulent emotions rolled inexplicably.He couldn't help reaching out to support the girl, the light spot on the tip of the wand was slightly bright—the gentle magic power surrounded the surroundings, and gently lifted the girl up. After the warm heat-preserving spell, the girl's drenched trouser legs were quickly dried, and then protected against the wind. The curse blocked the cold wind that blew through the woods.

Lola was a little flattered, but her face slowly turned red.

……

??

When Lola walked into the study, she kept a sweet smile on her face.

"You seem to be in a good mood." The portrait looked at the girl curiously. You must know that she was still frowning all day long just a few days ago.

"Yes, Anos and I have reconciled." Lola said happily, and after a while, the joy in her eyes slowly faded, "There has been too much snow recently, and it is too conspicuous to come here. Convenience... If there is any way to come over right away, you know, I found a book about Portkeys in the library yesterday, but unfortunately the content inside is too complicated for me to understand."

"You want to make your own Portkey?" The portrait raised an eyebrow, and said in a teasing tone, "Only your magic power?"

"Well, this is indeed a fantasy to me. Just the arrangement of the ancient magic pattern characters in the magic circle is as weird as a heavenly book." Lola ignored the face of the portrait, "Fortunately, you still have a little self-knowledge." He continued, "I really hope to go to the fifth grade quickly, and then I can choose to make magic tools."

"Actually, you don't have to look far away at all. Didn't Edgar give you the door key a long time ago?"

After listening to the girl's words, the portrait suddenly said.

"How do you know!" Lola's eyes widened, and she couldn't help stroking the buckle of the mithril necklace—there was a decorative ring like a feather on it.

"Of course I know, and I also know that this portkey is temporarily unusable."

Hearing this, Lola was even more surprised. She had indeed tried it long ago, but she didn't know how to make the Portkey work. After asking her father to no avail, she gradually forgot about it.

The girl removed the ring from the necklace, and the wings, which were the size of a fingernail, were slightly transparent, "Father said that I have to figure out how to use the door key, and this door key can transport me to a safe and secret place—— Ah, this is it?!"

Lola said, suddenly exclaiming.

"Well, it seems that you are not too stupid." The words of the portrait made the girl pouted in dissatisfaction. It smiled and continued, "Actually, the reason why the door key cannot be opened is because it is not complete. Look at that!"

Lola followed the direction indicated by the portrait and looked at the seascape painting—under the irrigation of magic power again and again, the waves in the painting were deep and surging, and the ancient sailboat on it also exposed its mast. .

"What's the matter, Ruddy?"

Just as Lola was curious, she saw suddenly huge waves in the seascape painting, and the storm poured down, almost capsizing the sailboat.And when the sailors on the ship were fighting desperately with the ocean, the portrait waved his hand and smoothed the waves in the painting in a blink of an eye.After the weather calmed down, the sailors in the painting danced around the huge wooden box next to the bed, and then the wooden box gradually opened—only the sound of the mechanism clicking, and the frame of the seascape painting suddenly flicked out, revealing the small treasure inside. treasure chest.

Lola stared blankly at the dense potion bottles and many messy things inside.

“It is often said that the depths of the sea are full of treasures.”

The portrait recites the opening chapter of a play in the language of the Haiwu people.

Afterwards, everything became step-by-step, and Lola found another wing ring hanging in the decorative item under the guidance of the portrait.Then press the two wings on another severely shrunk picture of the river—the small green spring pool reflects beautiful ripples, and the magical spring water wraps the door key, emitting a dazzling golden light.

Then a miraculous thing happened, the two wings merged into one, thinner and more transparent than before.

"Come on, try it, think about going back to your room."

Under the urging of the portrait, Lola raised the door key, and as a result, she rushed back to the bedroom with a whoosh. After a while, she appeared excitedly beside the sofa in the study.

"This is simply amazing." She was surprised and delighted, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I think so too, but without a certain reserve of magic power, the treasure chest cannot be opened."

The portrait spreads its hands innocently.

??

After finishing the personal tutoring of the Black Magic Association, Anos unknowingly came to the boulder pile on the way back—it was very inconspicuous, and he would never have noticed it if he hadn't been attracted by the singing.Looking around, the boy found that the largest boulder faintly exuded a magical atmosphere—just when the girl's hand touched it, he clearly saw a strange magical power burst out from the cracks in the stone.

what is that?

Just as he was thinking, he seemed to have made up his mind, and took out a small pocket watch from his pocket.After a little hesitation, he turned the hour hand and returned to the early morning four hours ago.Then he hid behind a nearby snowdrift—it was hidden, but the view was clear.

Soon, Lola appeared—every step she took was so cautious, even though her face was pale, and she had obviously invested physical strength and magic power, she still dragged her heavy steps to the front of the boulder.When she took a break, she looked around, her emerald green eyes swept over the snowdrift where Anos was hiding, but she didn't notice that there was an extra person here.

[It seems that the newly learned concealment spell is very successful!]

The boy's heart couldn't help beating wildly, but he comforted himself.

At this time, the sweet and ethereal singing sounded, and Anos looked at Lola carefully, and found that she was more haggard than ever.Then, he saw the girl's stare at him. From his angle, he could just see the subtle expression changes on her face, her panic, her nervousness, her subconscious biting of her lips, and her embarrassment. The appearance of chasing after oneself clumsily.

But at that time, he acted so indifferently, even though his chest was filled with intense emotional ups and downs, he didn't show any of it.He subconsciously realized that he did not reject this feeling, but how to express it correctly became another problem.

After a while, the girl walked towards the boulder, and the smile returned to her face—she put her hand on the boulder, and then a small door appeared out of thin air. When the girl entered, Anos vaguely saw The rooms inside are neatly arranged, and it doesn't look like a place to practice evil magic.

But after the girl entered, the small door slowly disappeared.Andos walked out of the snowdrift where he was hiding, and studied quietly in front of the boulder for a while, but he didn't see the girl coming out.He looked down at the pocket watch in his hand, the shallow sunlight that he hadn't seen for a long time penetrated the clouds and shone on him, like a silent old time.

library study room

"Recently, Anos has been haunted, how is he learning?"

"Hey buddy, taking an entire semester's credits in one go is a huge challenge for anyone."

"But he has a Time-Turner!"

"That thing is said to be able to reverse time, isn't it?" Pierre was a little envious, "Cool, the name sounds amazing, first in grade, and with such a sharp weapon, why not let other people mess around? "

"You know, this honor student benefit can only last until the end of the semester. In order not to waste it, if it were me, I would work so hard." Tully pointed to the thesis on the parchment roll, "at least think about the proposition There's more time."

"Doesn't Lola know about this?" Just as the boys were whispering, Vichy suddenly said, "The other day she asked me where Anos was, and I didn't know what to say."

"Huh? No one told her?"

"We can't get this kind of thing, Lola should be the first to know...Aha, he's here!"

"You're late today." Adri waved at the boy, "You were the first to leave the dormitory, but you were the last to arrive here."

"I've been delayed for a while, what were you talking about just now?"

"No big deal, let's talk about your Time-Turner, by the way, Lola doesn't seem to know you have this - did you tell her?"

"No."

"No wonder!" Pierey screamed, but was stared threateningly by the library manager, and immediately lowered his voice obediently, "You don't know how depressed she has been recently, it must have something to do with you."

"..."

……

While everyone was carefully transcribing the main points in the book, Anos and Adrienne, who took the lead in completing the sample questions, came to practice the spell under the corridor.

"Actually, what Frigo said just now is correct. Once there is a conflict, the cold war will not solve the problem at all."

Adri originally didn't want to ask about the relationship between Anos and Lola, but seeing the passage of time, the two remained at a stalemate, and he became a little impatient.

"Be tolerant, brother, you know her character better than us, how could she mix with those fanatics? Maybe in your eyes, she is very weak and needs to be protected all the time, but there are many things you should not get to the root of After all, girls and boys are different, and it is what you should do to water flowers with honey!"

"—Besides," Adriatic couldn't help saying seeing Anos' silence, "You guys obviously like each other, but someone has to take the first step. Generally speaking, men should take the initiative."
