HP's Adagio Minor

??

"It's hard to come to Hogsmeade, we should go to some more interesting places." Anthony sighed while eating the newly baked creamy chocolates in Honeydukes Candy Shop - the girls' full shopping desire made him dumbfounded.

"I really want to buy all of those sets, but unfortunately there are already similar styles in the closet..." Sally Ann said unsatisfactorily.

"Then you tried for an entire hour?!"

"'Only by trying can one be sure of what one really needs'——" Lola flipped through the books and periodicals she had just picked up from the bookstore, and answered subtly with the subtitle on them.Although she is not as fanatical as Sally Ann, she can also understand the mood of "If I don't buy it, I will try it".

"Well, I don't understand—how about we go have a butterbeer? It's getting a little cold."

The three of them walked towards the Three Broomsticks, almost every student wearing a badge of support for Cedric Diggory along the way.

"The first project is coming soon, and I don't know what it will be."

"Who knows."

Sally Ann dragged Lola into the tavern, but was almost squeezed by the tall figure who had just come out - Hogwarts' teacher on the protection of magical creatures was tall, and Professor Moody who was following him used the With strange one-eyed eyes, he looked at Lola's wool cloak with the school emblem painted on it.

Although Defense Against the Dark Arts is a compulsory subject at Hogwarts, Headmaster Karkaroff objected to Durmstrang's students taking it, believing that it flouted the Dark Arts teaching system.

Pansy once told her that everyone is rumoring that Defense Against the Dark Arts is a cursed class, and that the professor who teaches the class will suffer from accidents, so that a new teacher has to be replaced every year, but there is no doubt that Professor Moody is the toughest ever, The most capable one - he has the Chief Auror Medal issued by the Ministry of Magic, and also has the story of Draco Malfoy turning into a ferret (this is a kind of humiliation to Master Malfoy, who once raised white rodent student throws a tantrum).

After finally finding a vacant seat, the three of them chatted while eating fish and chips with sweet hot drinks.The Gryffindors at the next table laughed exaggeratedly from time to time-of course, the tavern was already noisy, so Lola and Sally Ann had to get closer when talking.

"Those redheads are all from the Weasley family, born Gryffindors." Sally Ann said to Lola, "The prank biscuits that have been popular in school recently were invented by those twins."

"They've got a great idea, don't they?" Anthony seemed to appreciate it, and spoke to them in slang.

"Hey, Ginny, this way!" One of the twins waved towards the door, and a girl with the same red hair came trotting over with a white face.

"What kind of package do you need to go to the post office to pick it up?"

"Some of your clothes, Errol is sick, mother can only send by registered mail." Ginny Weasley looked around, and then showed a disappointed look, "I asked my classmates to go shopping, let's go first gone."

"Okay, remember to bring me a box of chocolate cauldrons."

"I want almonds—"

"Not for you, Ron," interrupted the other twin. "Hey, isn't that Granger? She's sitting alone?"

"Come on, Fred." Ron glanced at the corner, then turned his head quickly, "I don't want to talk to her, she's been obsessed with 'vomiting' lately..."

"Lola! What are you thinking?"

"No... nothing."

Lola smiled, and turned her eyes to the cloudy sky outside. The window glass reflected Sally Ann and Anthony—they were talking intimately, which made people feel unspeakable envy.At this time, a gray-headed owl jumped in through the skylight—the red-tailed vulture yelled excitedly, and threw the package into the owner's arms accurately.

Lola opened the package, and inside was a palm-sized wooden box and a letter.

"Who sent it?" Anthony asked curiously.

"Who else could it be, boyfriend!" Sally Ann saw the signature on the envelope at a glance, "I've been thinking about it, but it's finally here."

??

After returning from Hogsmeade, Lola hurried back to her room—she had roughly read the contents of the letter in the tavern, but this did not prevent her from reading it again.

Andos' handwriting is handsome, with a natural slant.In the letter, he told about the big and small things that happened in daily life, and also wrote the recent research on the "Dream Art", and according to Lola's request, he wrote the thesis that he had just written - "The Faith and Humanities of the Eastern Magic System" Historical Factors" transcribed.

The deep friendship revealed in those seemingly simple but caring sentences in the letter cannot be compared with empty sweet words.

As for the wooden box, there is a flat object - after undoing the triple shrinking spell, it is about the size of a soup plate at a banquet; its surface is regular, and the imprints are like many concentric circles surrounding a white and flawless The inner core is engraved with dense oriental characters, which looks simple and mysterious.

Anos mentioned in his letter that this thing called 'compass' was a prize he got in the 'experience mission', made of 'thousand-year ebony', 'Kunlun jade' as the core, 'hard as a stone, It makes a sound when it hits, it is as light as a feather, and it can float in water, but there is no further explanation on what is the use of this thing, only that it must be placed in a bright place.

Lola settled the dinner under the elf's plaintive eyes, and studied until late at night, but still had no clue—even if she pointed the compass directly at the candle, she couldn't see any change—finally she could only admit that My own brain is not enough, I'd better take a hot bath and sleep.

When she came out of the bathroom with wet hair and steam, the bright moonlight filled the room like hoarfrost through the round window.She was sitting on the edge of the bed with the compass in her hand, her fingers stroking around the edge - she really missed Anos, every day, no, every moment - at this moment, the magnetic needle It actually started to spin, and turned faster and faster with the vibration of the compass, and only heard a 'click', and the jade core broke away from the compass and floated into the air——the uncut jade bathed in the moonlight emitted a beam of soft light. The shimmer of light formed a light screen.

[This appears to be used to record video. ]

Lola thought about it, and took a closer look. Inside the light screen was an antique room with simple furniture.Before she could finish admiring the exquisite flower and bird paintings on the wall, a boy in black walked into the picture—Lola subconsciously held her breath—and saw him take some clothes from the closet and throw them on the short shelf. On the ground, he pulled out his wand with his right hand and waved it lightly, and the clear and transparent spring water automatically filled the tub. He rolled up his sleeves, wrung out the towel and wiped his face.

Outside the window, the sun was rising, and the bright sunlight pierced through the dim room, shining on the young man's thin profile and short hair shining like gold in half shade.At that moment, Lola seemed to hear the sound of pattering water, the rustling of leaves being blown by the wind, and even the boy's sigh.

"Anos..."

Lola felt her chest constricted, and couldn't help murmuring—but at this moment, the boy's hand to unbutton his collar suddenly stopped, and he turned his head in disbelief, and looked over.

"Lola?!"

The moment they looked at each other, Lola was stunned, her attention was attracted by the beautiful collarbone line in the open collar of the other party, and it was not until Anos' face suddenly approached that she suddenly came back to her senses.

"This... Isn't this a projection? Can you hear me?" She stammered, her face was hot and hot.

"Of course." The young man smiled, his eyes as gentle as the stars in the night, making people addicted, "Long time no see, Lola.

Anos looked at the girl seriously, with soft and flexible facial features and a sweet and touching smile, all of which made him unable to take his eyes off.At this moment, he was annoyed that he was like a puppet, he could only answer the other party's questions bluntly, but he didn't know how to express the longing that had already flooded his chest.

I haven't seen her for two months. She has lost some weight, and the hair on her shoulders is still dripping water, which wets her neck, and that cute round-neck pajamas—Anos's face suddenly blurred. A thin layer of red was applied, but soon he remembered something, and said seriously:

"There is a six or seven hour difference between here and the UK. It should be late at night over there, right?"

"It's only 11:[-], and my schedule has always been like an owl!" Lola's joke made the red-tailed vulture flap its wings mockingly.

Seeing the girl puffing her cheeks with a bird, Anos felt that she was really cute, but considering that she still had schoolwork the next day, she was not as energetic as himself after morning exercise, so he continued to urge her She rests earlier.

"Anos, are you back?"

After the two chattered and talked again, the voice of Aarons Yates came from outside the door—this guy who loves oriental culture and vowed to become an "Asian expert" did not know how to convince Sean Professor, and came to the Asian School of Magic together.

Almost in the next second, Anos immediately waved his wand, and slammed the door that his roommate had already pushed open.

"Oops!" Yates might as well, stumbled backwards, wondering, "Strange, what's wrong with this door?!"

Lola couldn't help laughing at Anos' overreaction—at this moment, the clock on the wall jingled—a new day had arrived.

"Happy birthday, Lola."

"Thank you!"

Seeing Andos' handsome smile, Lola suddenly felt an urge—she really wanted to get closer to him, so close that she could smell the cool scent of herbs and woods on his robe.

Until the jade core fell back to the compass and the magnetic needle stopped turning, Lola was still immersed in the joyful emotion before. She put the compass on the window sill as Anos said, to ensure that it could get as much moonlight or sunlight as possible. ——then dried her hair, got into bed, and had a good night's sleep.

??

The next day, Lola received a lot of birthday presents, and the elves worked hard and cooked a lot of delicious dishes, which made all Durmstrang students feast on them.

"This is exclusive news, the first item of the Triwizard Tournament is related to dragons!"

Biro said mysteriously, his mouth was full of food, and he could pronounce words very clearly.

Everyone was skeptical, thinking that he must be dreaming, only Alexei expressed the possibility, and Lola felt that he seemed to know something.

On November 11th, the whole school will be suspended from noon.

The site for the first project was chosen at the end of a dense forest.

"Dragon! It's really a dragon!"

As soon as they entered the arena, the students exclaimed—four very ferocious-looking adult fire dragons were locked in a fence surrounded by planks, their necks were raised high, and they roared, and clusters of flames burst from their open mouths. , mouth with long fangs - there are at least 30 adult wizards outside the fence, waiting in full force.

"I've said it a long time ago! This time, please accept it!" Biro said triumphantly.

"You don't look surprised at all," Lola said, taking a seat next to Alexei. "Did you already know that?"

"Oh, that's not the case. You know, it's not the first time I've seen these big guys. As for the news of the competition, I guessed it—but I didn't expect that they would all choose female dragons that brood and incubate eggs!"

"Where is Victor?"

"He and the other warriors are in that tent, and they will draw lots to determine the order of appearance and the dragons to deal with... He will find a way!"

Everyone in Durmstrang is convinced of this.

"Merlin bless!"

Thinking that the warriors would face these behemoths, Lola couldn't help but get nervous. The album in her hand had already been crumpled by her—she didn't even hear the commentator's words clearly, but just held the crystal ball high, ready to shock the world. photographed.

With the entry of the No.1 warrior, the dragon trainers loosened the iron chains tied to the dragon's legs and neck - a silver-blue fire dragon with long pointed horns strode out of the fence and faced Hogwarts. Cedric Diggory of Cedric growled.

The crowd was clamoring, and everyone followed the roar, their hearts trembling.

"That's the Swedish short-nosed dragon, which usually lives in the uninhabited mountains in northern Sweden. Gloves and shields made of this dragon skin have been very popular in the last few centuries, and they still have a high collection value."

Although Cedric on the field was pale, he acted without any hesitation. After several failed attempts to get close, he suddenly turned a rock into a Newfoundland hound and successfully diverted the fire dragon's attention—approximately After 15 minutes, Cedric finally passed his dragon and caught the golden egg.

The students at Hogwarts were almost insane, especially when their champion narrowly escaped the last wave of dazzling blue flames (too bad he was still burned), and the deafening cheers, screams and chanting echoed throughout the arena.

After the referee scored points in turn, the broadcast sounded, "One goes down, there are three more! Miss Delacour, please come on!"

Fleur Delacour was trembling from head to toe, but she still maintained the elegant demeanor unique to a French lady. She held her head high and held her wand tightly in her hand. Opposite her was a slightly smaller scaled animal. The smooth green fire dragon is desperately shaking the fleshy wings beside it.

"The Welsh green dragon is not aggressive, she drew a good lottery." Alexey said, "This kind of dragon is now domesticated, and has lost its hunting nature."

"You mean, there are more difficult dragons to deal with?"

"Yes, it's very difficult to deal with." Alexey pointed to the dragon fence at the back of the competition field. "Look at that black one. It's the Hungarian Horntail, the most dangerous of all fire dragons."

From such a distance, Lola could see the lizard-like dragon covered in black scales, with bulging eyes, and long, bronze-colored thorns protruding from its head and long tail.

"I hope Senior Krum doesn't encounter it."

While the two were talking, Beauxbaton's students shouted excitedly—their warrior had successfully cast the hypnotic spell, and the fire dragon suddenly fell asleep, but then it snored, from its mouth The flames emanating from the inside caught Fleur's dress on fire - and the French lady extinguished the flames with an awkward flick of her wand, then sprinted towards the golden egg.

Because Beauxbaton's representative took less time than the previous warrior, he got a higher score.The audience burst into cheers again, and then, again, the radio blared, "This is Mr. Krum!"

"Victor! Winner!"

Biro played his old role as a cheerleader, commanding everyone to cheer in unison, and then a scarlet-scaled fire dragon was driven onto the field-it had a strange golden tassel-like ring around its face. Thorn——Lola looked at this strange fiery dragon, and suddenly felt an indescribable resemblance to a dragon horse.

"Look, don't the flames it shoots into the sky look like mushroom-shaped clouds?"

"So, this is a Chinese fireball? I heard that the egg shell of this fire dragon is highly prized and widely used in Chinese witchcraft circles."

"Indeed," Alexei said solemnly, "but the Chinese Fireball, as the only Asian fire dragon, is aggressive by nature, with fast firepower and agility."

On the playing field, as soon as Viktor stepped onto the field, he suffered continuous attacks-hit by this kind of flame, he would be reduced to ashes in an instant.

"Oh, damn it!" At this moment, the Durmstrangs were all cursing the fire dragon in the same hatred.

Fortunately, the rigorous physical training in the past played a role at this moment. Viktor quickly hid behind the rock, and while the fire dragon was roaring, he directly hit it in the eye with the Eye Sickness Curse.

"Very bold!" the voice of the commentator shouted - the Chinese Fireball let out a terrible, earth-shattering scream, and the audience gasped in unison, "He showed extraordinary courage - ah - yes , he got the golden egg!"

"He succeeded, succeeded!" Everyone in Durmstrang cheered. Of course, other schools did not hesitate to applaud and applaud. The warriors should have been respected.

It's a pity that half of those real dragon eggs were crushed, and the referees deducted a lot of points. Principal Karkaroff's face was a little ugly.

"How can you blame him, why pile up so many eggs!" Biro muttered dissatisfiedly, while waving the banner of the school badge.

Lola wiped the sweat from her forehead and sat back on the spot. The hand that had been holding the crystal ball was so sore that she couldn't lift it up, but she didn't want to miss any wonderful pictures.

"Let me help you hold it for a while!" Alexey said, "Just keep instilling magic power, right?"

"Yes." Lola gratefully handed him the crystal ball, then stretched her stiff arms.

When the Dragon Wizard rearranged the venue, the auditorium suddenly became noisy.

"...What nonsense are you talking about!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. Half of the warriors in the Triwizard Tournament are dead. What else can Potter do besides pickle the head of a mouse?! He won't live long, he will die soon!"

"Shut up! I won't let you say that!" the shrill female voice yelled, and Ginny Weasley angrily drew out her wand and pointed it at him.

"How dare you point your wand at me? I'm a year older than you!" But soon, the Slytherin was too scared to speak—a huge black leather bat appeared on his face, A few girls on the side screamed, but they were drowned in the exclamation of the crowd.

The several-ton strong Hungarian Horntail with jet-black scales was unchained, its mouth was open wide, its roar shook the ground trembling, sparks came out of its nostrils, and it looked terribly frightening.

"He's coming! He's coming!" There was a din in the auditorium. Everyone was expecting and surprised. No one knew what this 'boy who lived' would do.

"Oh, Harry—" Ginny squeezed her wand, almost crying.

"He was born a warrior! We believe in him!" Fred patted his sister's shoulder comfortingly, while George shouted, "Harry is a warrior who belongs to Gryffindor and Hogwarts!"

Lola watched from the stands, and saw the Hungarian Horntail writhing its spiked tail, crouching low, guarding its nest of eggs, and Harry Potter didn't seem to care. Not afraid, he raised his wand, yelled in the air, and a ray of light streaked across the edge of the Forbidden Forest and flew towards him quickly—the light flew into the field and suddenly stopped in mid-air beside him.

"Fire?! Good boy!" Alexei cheered, "This trick is so wonderful, why didn't I think of it!"

Seeing Potter riding on his broomstick and circling rapidly in the air, everyone straightened their necks, watching him become a black spot in the sky.

"Potter ran away! He's scared!" The Slytherin boy managed to tear off the giant bat and jumped up. "Coward! Coward!"

But in the next second, Potter almost swooped down at an even faster speed, and hovered around the Horntail, leaping and flipping nimbly, avoiding the fiery flames sprayed out by the fire dragon.

"My God, he can fly!" the audience exclaimed.

"Too risky, Merlin!"

However, as one of the most powerful beasts, the fire dragon also has unusual wisdom. After Potter narrowly avoided a super-long flame, the spiked tail drew towards him, even though Potter fiercely He turned around, but was still torn by a long spike and pierced into his shoulder.

"Oh, bad!" Seeing this scene, even the 'big tall' Gomez couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Potter is hit, he's going to fall!"

The Slytherin was still cursing, but the situation once again struggled with his expectations, and Potter remained on the fire.

"The mother hornet protects its eggs all the time." Alexey watched the dragon writhing, spreading and retracting its wings, retracting and spreading them, those scary yellow eyes fixed on Harry, and the words in its mouth The fangs were all exposed, "This stalemate is not a solution."

And Potter seemed to have noticed this too, he kept flying around the hornet—finally, the hornet was irritated, it stood upright, waving its pair of front legs with sharp claws, black as hell The thick, rough, huge wings were fully unfolded—and at that moment, Potter immediately dived to the ground, and before the fire dragon had time to react, he let go of the gun, freed his hands, and successfully grabbed the golden egg .

Amidst the deafening noise of shouts, applause, and applause, he held the heavy golden egg under his uninjured arm and hovered majestically over the stands.

"That's amazing!" Lola sighed involuntarily, "He's the fastest, isn't he?!"

"I really underestimated him, I didn't expect..."

"fantastic!"

Although the Durmstrangs hope that their school will win, they still admire the real warriors. Besides, facing such a ferocious and huge fire dragon, who can boast that they can do better than them Woolen cloth!

The author has something to say:

The main and supporting roles in the original book have come to an end. I like the friendship between Ginny and Harry the most, the friendship that I have silently loved for many years (however, Harry fell in love with her too quickly and suddenly!!). .
