HP's Adagio Minor

??

The next morning, Lola woke up early. She rubbed her eyes and sat up on the plank bed she was not used to sleeping in.

"Morning, buddy!"

The dozing red-tailed vulture owl raised its head in response, and then quickly turned its back. Lola was amused by its arrogant appearance, knowing that it was still making trouble for passing notes back and forth to Ravenclaw Tower last night. temper.

"Okay, when the list of warriors is announced today, you have to cross continents and help me deliver the letter to Anos. He is far away now."

The red-tailed vulture owl shook its beautiful tail feathers, with an expression of 'I am competent'.

After freshening up, the girl came to the restaurant along the magnificently decorated corridor. There was no one there, only plates of beautiful and delicious sliced ​​cakes, and various steaming teapots.

Lola leaned on the leather sofa chair, quietly looking at the white sky outside the window, and the silver-maned horses flew across the castle and forest towards the center of the lake in the mist.

"Another good day...can I sit here?"

"Of course, sir."

Dimir Fittinghoff sat across from Lola and seemed to be in a good mood.

"The climate in the UK is more humid than I imagined, but compared to the volcanic ash covering the head and face, this little thing is not worth mentioning. Ivano and the others are probably regretting how they stayed with a workaholic like Matvey all day long." It's really not a good job to take care of the students and get burnt out."

This year's climate is abnormal and outrageous, the snowstorm raged early, and the volcano that had been sleeping for hundreds of years suddenly erupted, causing toxic volcanic ash to cover the sky.Durmstrang has canceled all extracurricular activities for the semester, including weekly trips to town, extracurricular practicums, and even moving botany classes indoors.

"It's a lucky thing to be able to come to Hogwarts. My friends envy me a lot."

"Sometimes, man-made or God-sent, can be the cause of disasters. The same is true for luck. It is always necessary to spend time."

Dimir seemed to have something in his words, and Lola was stunned for a moment. Before she could figure out the deep meaning, the boy lazily waved his wand, and a set of delicate enamel tea sets appeared on the low tea table.

"British people like to drink English breakfast tea. I think it tastes good whether it is added with milk or lemon, and this tea really clears up people's mind quickly."

While Dimir was speaking, the tea set started to move by itself. It brewed several kinds of black tea in proportion, and the flowers printed on the pot swayed accordingly, which was very beautiful.Later, the owner of the tea set invited the girl to taste it together.Lola picked up the enamel teacup. The tea soup inside was clear in color and tasted smooth and sweet when paired with milk.

"It's unique, isn't it?"

Lola nodded, curious, "Is this an antique set?"

Nowadays, such a group of magic utensils is rare, and what is especially rare is that it has complete accessories, which can complete various tea products in an orderly manner, and make appropriate and subtle adjustments according to the owner's wishes.

"Not really, real antiques will only be sealed in a corner, but obviously it won't... If you like it, I can give you a set, anyway, I don't need that many."

"It's too expensive—"

"Don't say no, Laura, I actually have something I want to ask you to do."

Lola looked at Dimir in surprise, she really couldn't imagine that a Feitinghoff could have anything to help her.

"I heard that the Barodis family has a large-scale pine snail breeding industry. In fact, my fiancee likes pine snail pearls very much, especially a variety called 'Hippo Rainbow'. Unfortunately, in recent years, pine snail pearls have grown globally. The production of snail pearls is generally low, and this exotic variety is even more priceless... I don’t know if this variety has been cultivated in your family’s industry, if possible, I would like to buy a batch for wedding decorations.”

"So that's how it is," Lola thought for a while. "My father is in charge of this family business. I can write to him to inquire, but I don't know if the senior has other requirements for the quality of pearls."

"I want the rainbow to be as dark as possible, price is not an issue—"

When transnational aristocratic families want to do business, it is much more dignified to be recommended by someone than to rush to the door. Moreover, in recent years, the pine snail pearls produced in the Baltic Sea have become famous all over the world because of their variety and excellent quality, so Edgar also A small profit was obtained.

Lola would not refuse to bring a business to the family, especially if the other party was one of the best families in the wizarding world, but at the same time, she was amazed by Dimir's generosity, "A wedding decorated with pine conch pearls? Merlin! How beautiful it would be, the senior's fiancée is so happy!"

When Dimir heard this, he just smiled, "I just tried my best to make her happy. Although I just follow the family's marriage tradition, it is a rare lucky thing to have a good impression of each other... In fact, I envy Gomez even more. S."

"Senior Gomez is also engaged?"

"It's almost time to settle down. I don't want to assign him a ridiculous marriage. Everything depends on his own choice... You seem to be puzzled? Yes, the old system of subordinate clans has been abolished long ago, but this is also The misunderstanding brought about by the innovative wizard government—you know, the allegiance of the subordinate clan to the main clan is passed down through blood, so no matter how the years change, they still cannot disobey the orders of the main clan.”

"However, Gomez's situation is different. He was raised as my dead man from a young age. We were unequal from the beginning-this situation is not uncommon in this school. Everyone is used to it. , the old system of affiliation is still being implemented in the families of various countries."

"..."

Lola silently took a sip of tea. Anyway, the subordinate families of the Barodis family have long since disappeared in the long river of history, and she has never thought of being the main family. Sure enough, the big families are somewhat unknown. Legacy of history.

At this moment, a white figure that appeared out of nowhere quietly jumped onto the sofa and landed on Dimir's lap.Lola, like all girls, has no resistance to this soft fur, well-behaved and sensitive creature.

"I saw this snow fox in the corridor, is it the senior's pet?"

"Yes, it is my contract beast."

"Contract? Like me and Ryoma?"

"Oh no, that's far from it. After all, you and that bad-tempered Eastern dragon horse are subject to the ancient contract law, but we are just a small covenant between hearts." Dimir touched Xuehu's head , "This can't last in the blood."

Lola didn't know much about this, but she was quite interested, so the conversation between the two gradually drifted away.Dimir's knowledge is vast, and it's a pleasure to chat with him all over the place.

"...I heard that just last semester, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts was a werewolf, but he didn't seem to be born this way, but he still couldn't resist the madness of the full moon night—"

"Indeed, the nature of werewolves is such that they are prone to anger and mania, and randomly attack other creatures."

"So, is there any creature that is similar to a werewolf, I mean, has a strong and powerful body like a werewolf, but maintains a rational consciousness, or that it can switch between two forms? Even, From a beast to a human form?"

"...I didn't expect you to ask such a question." Dimir looked very surprised, and he looked at Lola fixedly, "This is not something that you will learn in the third-year course, I think you use it as an entrance essay It’s inevitable that the subject matter of this book will be a bit out of the ordinary.”

"Senior, I heard that Professor Lemon wanted to invite you to be a teaching assistant of divination, but he has not been able to do so. Although everyone says that divination is a ridiculous subject, I think it is quite interesting, and what I proposed Yes, it's just that I often see such scenes in divination..." Lola paused, "I'm not sure if this is a fantasy in my head...Professor Manninger once said that the highest state of transfiguration is It's wizards who transform themselves into some kind of animal, but those wizards who become Animagus are still human, not really beastly."

Seeing Lola's distressed look, Dimir sighed, "Although I can't answer your question, I heard that there are many different factions of Animagus. For example, there is a female Auror in England who is born with a disguise. Magus can change his appearance at will, and has the ability to hide and disguise...Maybe some ancient families still retain the inheritance of ancient magic power—it’s a pity that I only know so much.”

"No, that's cool! It would be great to know, and maybe with a few gold stars, I'll be able to apply to borrow books from the basement library, where I might find more clues... Of course, I I will never practice the transformation spell rashly out of curiosity, that would be very risky, and I am not suitable for taking risks..."

Dimir smiled as usual, watching the girl chatter with excitement - for a moment, he saw in her eyes an adventurous heart hidden deep inside, which made the beautiful emerald color even stronger. It was bright, exactly as it had been foreseen.

And in a blink of an eye, he seemed to see it again—Lola Barodis stood on the vast ice field with dozens of black beasts, roaring in shock toward the end of the continent—at this moment, the girl Still talking about Animagus, he didn't notice Dimir's distraction, only Xuehu flicked his tail suspiciously.

The reason why the Vietinghoff family is famous in the wizarding world is not only the accumulation of fame and wealth in the long history, but also because of a special talent - some people call it foreknowledge, and those who inherit this talent can often see Some strange pictures from the past, the present, and the future—but the Vietinghofs are extremely smart. They claim that this is just a bit of intuition in the bloodline talent, but they never reveal the specific content to others.And it was this "intuition" that allowed this family to make the right choices in life and death several times, and it did not cause debilitating disasters like other families that were good at prophecy.

Today, there are very few members of the Vietinghof family who have inherited their talents. They are more focused on developing intelligence forces, and the advantage of having a good personal relationship with the governments of various countries is that neither Greenwald nor the mysterious person can rely on their own strength. A family known for being 'neutral'.

Lola did not know the history of the Vietinghof family, and she had never given much thought to Dimir Vietinghof's unaltered friendliness.But it is also because of this that she can treat everyone with the truest heart, no matter who the other party is.

??

"...I don't want any of you to be affected by the loose discipline of Hogwarts, and there are too many wizards with impure bloodlines or vain names. There is no point in getting too involved with these people... "

After the boys' morning exercises, Igor Karkaroff led all the students to the foyer of the castle—the seniors were eager to try, and each and every one of them held the parchment rolls in their hands tightly, but they didn't arrive. Students of all ages naturally don't want to miss this opportunity to watch the excitement.

Lola followed Alexei and they were at the end of the line. Even though she was so far away, she could still feel that the headmaster's face was almost stiff.When he met Harry Potter yesterday, he also cared so much, almost staring hard at the scar that is well-known in the wizarding world.

In the eyes of girls, Harry Potter is a somewhat shy British boy with black hair and green eyes. He seems not so confident, and his clothes are a bit sloppy, making it difficult to associate those legendary deeds with himself.But even so, Sally Ann still said that Dumbledore was very protective of him (maybe because they were both Gryffindors), but it was a pity that he was only in the fourth year-anyone under the age of seventeen could not cross that rule. age boundaries.

"If I can compete on behalf of Durmstrang - God of Magic, I will die immediately, and I will be willing."

"I can tell you, you are 'eliminated' before the start of the game, so stupid? Believe it or not, I was the first to rush up and beat you to the ground?"

"This is too cruel, at least you have to restrain yourself in front of Lola!"

Under Biro's talkative reminder, Alexei felt a little embarrassed, and he swung his arms vigorously, almost pushing Biro forward.

"Ouch!" Biro wailed in a low voice.

Lola has long been used to the fights among the boys, but her attention is attracted by the strong Halloween atmosphere in the auditorium-a large group of live bats are flying around the enchanted ceiling, and there are hundreds of bats at the same time. Little figures carved from pumpkins squinted at the ground from every corner.

At this time, Hogwarts from various colleges had already gathered around the entrance hall, and the focus of their attention was the center of the thin golden line and the large, rough-carved wooden goblet , which is burning with a magical flame that will never be extinguished.

And, those naughty ghosts trying to break into the age line.

"Look, they actually dare to drink..."

"Aging agent? Merlin! This beard is white enough..."

"Hahaha, fight! For a thousand Galleons, buddy!"

Just when everyone was making a fuss, a sharp-eyed student shouted, "Here they come!"

The crowd immediately fell silent——

Viktor Krum and Principal Karkaroff walked in front side by side, followed by the other Durmstrang students.Under the excited gaze of countless people, Viktor crossed the age line without looking sideways, and threw the parchment with his name written on it into the blue-white flame, and the flame quickly turned red, and sparks burst out.

Lola watched a group of Hogwarts students hold their breath in shock, secretly amused, while Sally Ann in the crowd made a face at her, and then showed a helpless expression, as if to say, 'I said it earlier Yes, someone will do something stupid. '

"Yo, Harry Potter is here too." A Durmstrang student suddenly said softly.

Lola followed the trend and saw the 'golden boy' Potter was looking at Senior Krum with admiration, and the red-haired boy beside him opened his mouth in surprise.

"Ron, you look like an idiot."

A brown-haired girl in a Gryffindor school gown said helplessly that she was not affected by the frenzied atmosphere around her by flipping through the books on her lap from time to time.

"Let's go."

After the rest of the students entered their names, Principal Karkaroff said.

When they left the hall, the Durmstrangs met the Beauxbatons, and the students from the two schools saluted the principal of the other school.While quietly waiting for Principal Karkaroff to exchange greetings with Mrs. Maxime, Lola inadvertently met the eyes of the silver-haired girl—she suddenly remembered that she had seen this French girl at the ball at the Wengnard Manor. Teenage girl, who appeared to be dating Simone's ex-boyfriend at the time.

Fleur Delacour also felt that the only girl in the Durmstrang delegation looked familiar, but she had no intention of communicating at all right now, so she didn't talk to her aloud.

"Humph!"

The familiar nasal voice made Lola's thoughts jump out of the memories quickly. Even though she was a little unhappy, she didn't pay attention to Bafra Butarskaya's provocation.In fact, this girl has always been a little afraid of her, but she always likes to find ways to step on herself—but her rolling her eyes is very untimely, at least in front of all Durmstrang, such an attitude is really very rude ——So, like other proud French students, she turned pale with surprise at the intimidating momentum of the Durmstrangs' counterattack.

Under such a comparison, everyone found that the silver-haired girl not only has a pretty face, but she actually has a courage that is not inferior to any boy. In the contest between the two schools, she did not flinch at all, but raised her head gracefully. Following Madame Maxime up the steps, no one seemed to be able to stop her inevitable footsteps.

And those Hogwarts people were attracted by such a 'queen' aura, and stepped back one after another, eagerly watching the actions of the French students.

The Durmstrangs returned to the cabin under the leadership of the headmaster. Although the Hogwarts restaurant welcomes them at any time, the food here is obviously more in line with their taste.It wasn't until breakfast started that everyone's tense expressions slowly relaxed.

"Those French boys are like cowardly quail. How can they participate in the competition?"

"I heard that Beauxbatons has always had more women than men, which is different from ours, but to be honest, they are too thin—"

"Anyway, Beauxbatons is also a well-known magic school in Europe, with a good reputation for hundreds of years, it shouldn't be too bad...I want to know who will be in Hogwarts?"

"We're not familiar with them."

"True, but so are they."

"Travel these ants under your feet, Senior Krum!" Biro gulped down a large glass of vodka, and then shouted excitedly.

"You can't underestimate any opponent, I will be more cautious." Viktor finished with a serious expression, and suddenly glanced at the Quidditch cheerleader who was trying to jump on the table to tap dance, very displeased, "Why is he drinking so much?" Difference?"

"Oh, for the sake of the prefect's absence, let him vent here." Dimir joked, holding a wine glass.

"What are you venting about? He's a poor drinker!" Alexey said angrily after being kicked by Biro several times, but was pushed from behind by the "big tall" Gomez, and he and Biro both The person rolled into a ball and fell under the table, making Lola and everyone laugh.

The author has something to say:

Author: According to this rhythm, Lola's third year at Hogwarts will be very long. . .But I am reluctant to delete the opportunity for the original characters to play soy sauce. .

Anos: I began to doubt whether I have the standard equipment that a male protagonist should have

Author: If you want an inner monologue, I can give you a chance to add drama

Anos: ...Never mind, as long as you make sure no one cares about Lola.

Author: This...is really hard to say
