HP's Adagio Minor

Hogwarts, UK, April 1995

"How long has it been since we had such good weather?"

Under the endless blue sky, Lola stretched out her arms, as if she wanted to embrace the long-lost spring sun—of course, she still maintained her balance at all times.

The dragon horse neighed happily, and the continuous rainy weather in the UK made it suffocated—especially the rain here has an indescribable strange smell—it flapped its wings vigorously, and took advantage of the wind to hover over the lake and the greenery. between the hills. .

In the middle of the turbid and gloomy black lake, the three observation towers have been demolished until only their bare bases remain. Lola still remembers watching the second match of the warriors on them. She pulled the dragon horse's mane to signal It skimmed across the lake again - the other party snorted impatiently, water is not the field that flying beasts are good at, it really lacks interest.

"The icy lake in Durmstrang is wider than this black lake, but there are not many aquatic creatures in it, but there are mermaids, giant squids, and Grindylow monsters living here..." Lola said with great interest, " I sometimes imagine what I would do if I were in the race, it's not easy to dive for an hour."

"I think it's a very smart way to choose the bubble head spell. Although maintaining the bubble head spell for a long time will consume a lot of physical strength, it is generally easier to learn." Anos' voice came from the book bag, "and use Gillweed is somewhat speculative, but I guess that Potter is easy to learn and well respected by the Potions professor."

"No, it's impossible! Potter is a Gryffindor, and almost no one in the whole school except Malfoy can get the praise of Professor Snape. He is very strict and demanding, and sometimes even makes people feel partial— — but then again, he's the Head of Slytherin, so there's nothing wrong with that."

"Really?" Anos said with a smile in his voice, "Then maybe you are more interested in the transfiguration technique performed by Senior Krum?"

"I don't want to hide it. I really think that Animagus is very powerful, but senior Krum only deformed half of his body. Obviously, this is not easy." Lola said and untied the drawstring of the book bag, Lifting the compass (the compass and the jade core were wrapped tightly with several layers of windproof charms to prevent them from being blown away by the strong wind), "How is it? Isn't the scenery from here great?"

"It's really beautiful!"

Anos stared at the light curtain with some amusement, more than half of the beautiful scenery shown inside was covered by the wanton flying blond hair, while the owner of the blond hair looked up stupidly - the dazzling sunlight made her unable to see the light curtain clearly, He also had no way of knowing how clear and translucent emerald green his slightly squinted eyes reflected.

"I knew you would like it," Lola said with a smug smile, "I'll take you to see the unicorn cubs next time!"

"Okay."

??

Since the beginning of the spring semester, Lola and her dragon horse have attracted many people's attention.

As we all know, wizards in Britain prefer to use artificial magic props such as broomsticks, so there is no magic school here that offers beast riding courses, and there are no relevant regulations that allow students to bring large riding creatures into the school.

And Lola seemed to be the only one.

As long as it doesn't rain, Lola and Ryoma will fly in the campus to their heart's content. There is no standard for flying beasts here. As long as they don't stay out of the magic boundary, they can fly as high as they want-how many times they broke through the clouds. Flying skills of various difficulties are practiced at high altitudes with strong winds, and the bravery and willfulness of the riders are fully displayed here.

The exciting Triwizard Tournament always seems to be intertwined with the long waiting period, and the boring study life has caused many students to notice this special figure—every time the dragon horse spreads its wings and sweeps across the sky, some people will be shocked. Phew, 'Wow, look!It flies so fast! ! '

At the same time, Lola's image has also changed from an "evil and indifferent black witch" to a "handsome female knight", which has attracted the attention of many opposite sexes, even the same sex. There are dozens more yellow rose notes than red rose notes.

??

On this day, Lola walked across the lawn along the lakeshore, with a hint of sweet incense on her body-Professor Trelawney spent a whole class carefully telling about the "wonderful relationship between Mars and Neptune". Angles' impact on historic events - and then, all have until Thursday to finish an astrology.

Lola was thinking about her thesis outline when a rustling sound caught her attention.Driven by curiosity, she followed the direction of the voice to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, where several dilapidated carriages were parked. The axles near the axles were newly painted with black paint, and seemed to be drying.

Lola looked around suspiciously, but didn't see any kind of creature - but the sound was clearly close at hand - and she froze until someone tapped her on the shoulder.

"Lola? What are you doing standing here?"

"I heard a strange voice, right there!" Lola's face turned pale, as if she was taken aback, "Can you hear me, senior?"

"Of course I can hear it, and I also know that it's thestrals looking for food." Under the girl's puzzled eyes, Dimir explained, "This kind of creature is a kind of Pegasus, and only those who have seen death can see it." To the true face of thestrals - they are said to look like black horses dying of starvation, with bat-like wings and white eyes without pupils."

"So, the seniors can't see those Thestrals?"

"Indeed."

Dimir smiled slightly, and stopped looking at the blurry black shadows behind the carriage. After all, foreseeing death is not really witnessing it.

"Although there are superstitions about thestrals circulating in the wizarding world, people who see them will encounter terrible disasters, but in fact this kind of creature has an amazing sense of direction, and has a keen sense of smell. When it smells blood, it will gather Together...but the Thestrals here have been domesticated, not only docile but also able to pull carts."

"No matter how many advantages there are, I can't make me like it. Just by imagining, I know how scary they are." Lola muttered, and followed Dimir back to the school wheel—it was getting dark, staying in such a group of invisible The weird creatures are really scary to be around.

Walking into the foyer, Lola found several copies of the Daily Prophet and "Wizard Weekly" lying on the floor - she and Luna had read the fictional public opinion news in it together, but since "Harry Potter's Secret History of Sadness" was published ", the sales volume of the magazine suddenly doubled several times—but the rumors about Hermione Granger in it made Viktor lose his temper. Who would have thought that he was so fascinated by this British girl.

"These are perfect for table legs—by the way," Dimir said suddenly, "summer is approaching, and there are a lot of mosquitoes recently, so you have to be careful."

After speaking, under the blank gaze of the girl, he lifted up the pile of newspapers and magazines with a levitation spell, and walked calmly towards the stairs.

??

Entering June, the atmosphere in the castle became tense again.Soon, the competition for the final event of the Triwizard Tournament will begin.

In the stands, hundreds of students filed into their seats, the air was filled with excited voices and chaotic footsteps, and the clear and deep blue sky was dotted with stars.A hedge twenty feet high surrounded the fringe of the playing field, and these high green walls were intricate and meandering in all directions, except for a gap on the side facing the auditorium, which was the entrance to the maze.

On the edge of the sports field, several professors were wearing wizard hats with big red stars, standing beside the four players.The students stood up and cheered, and then, a short whistle sounded, and the warriors entered the maze.

"The passage inside is so dark, it looks really scary... How did they find the Goblet of Fire? Who knows what monsters will come out of it! It's too worrying!"

"Come on, how can there be any monsters? Don't you see that the professors are all ready to rescue? As long as there is a red spark, someone will help them."

"Hey, did you place your bet? Mike and I chose Cedric."

"Come on, come on!"

Lola held the crystal ball and moved from one end of the stand to the other. In front of the closed maze entrance, the drum band and acrobatics class were performing. A group of junior students were laughing and playing in the aisle, almost knocking the girl off the steps. Fortunately, someone helped her in time.

"Thank you, sir."

"You're welcome."

The opponent waved his hand and continued to look at the field. He was tall, with long red hair in a ponytail and a fang earring on his ear. He looked extremely cool.

"Bam—"

A string of red sparks suddenly exploded in the air, and not long after, the referee signaled that Beauxbaton's Fleur Delacour was disqualified. "

"What's wrong, Merlin! What's wrong with her?!" A panicked woman surrounded the referee, who was supposed to be Fleur's mother, asked nervously.

"She will be fine. The professor will take her back to the infirmary safely. Please don't panic."

Although the narrator repeatedly emphasized, the atmosphere on the field gradually became tense, and everyone talked a lot, guessing what level was so difficult.

"She's not even afraid of dragons!" screamed one of Beauxbaton's students.

Lola returned to her original position after recording the panorama of the arena, and the Durmstrangs were gathering together and shouting slogans-the elimination of Fleur Delacour meant that there was one less competitor, which would be a great blow to the remaining players. It is undoubtedly beneficial.

However, when that flaming red spark reappeared and marked the location of Viktor Krum in the air, the entire arena erupted.

"Unfortunately, the contestants from Durmstrang were eliminated..." the commentator said clearly on the radio.

"No, it's impossible!" Biro jumped up angrily, riding on the railing and shaking his fist at the referee's seat, "This is absolutely impossible! This must be a black whistle!"

"Calm down, you're crazy!"

Alexey quickly dragged his excited friend down, Biro refused to give up, the two wrestled together, kicked over the snack cart next to them, and piles of soda cans rolled to the ground—a few The skin of the can was torn, and steam was blowing out.

The student peddler who sold snacks was taken aside before he had time to complain - the big tall 'Gomez' bought all the soft drinks with two Galleons, and stuffed them into the hand of the panting Alexi without any explanation. inside.

"Fight after drinking." He took the lead in opening the cap of the soda, and poured it into his mouth.

"..."

Alexei frowned tightly and threw the soda aside.

"How is it possible, Viktor, hiss...something must have gone wrong!" Biro buried his face in his palms and curled up on the seat decadently.

Lola sighed. She knew how much the seniors present, including herself, admired Senior Viktor. He was both brave and wise, and he was the glory of Durmstrang. The existence of pride unexpectedly lost the qualification for the competition in embarrassment, no one can accept this fact.

The Durmstrangs didn't want to watch the next game, but they couldn't leave without authorization, so staying where they were was becoming a torment. The boys became irritable and irritable, and they showed a little bit of provocation from other schools. Such extreme attitudes, fierce disputes, and even violent fights—all of these, but no one came to suppress them. Karkaroff had already rushed to the infirmary with Viktor's parents.

The darkness slowly covered the entire sky, and the dark night shrouded, together with clusters of magical flames, illuminated the entire arena. The exhausted students looked around in the stands—the remaining two warriors still Didn't come out - which made most Hogwarts people worry too.

However, it didn't take long before a bright light crackled, and the two shadows were transported by the Goblet of Fire and rolled down to the center of the field.The crowd subconsciously wanted to cheer, no matter which of them succeeded, the champion belonged to Hogwarts.

However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.

……

??

"……that's it."

The therapist from St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries put down the wand in his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead. After checking the light spell over and over again, Viktor quickly woke up. His expression was obscure, as if Recall what happened before the coma.

"Just a voodoo curse, no big deal - you'll always be our pride."

Mr. and Mrs. Krum comforted a few words, and then they were taken to the temporary office for registration by the medical staff, and the boys around were all coaxed out.

"Let's go, don't get stuck here, he needs some fresh air." Gomez said, waving his arms.

Soon, only Dimir and the 'patient' lying on the bed were left in the ward.

"Damn it!" Viktor cursed in a low voice, and finally no longer concealed his emotions. He suddenly tore off the round shield-shaped pendant hanging around his neck, and slammed it onto the ground, "When you started I was reminded to be careful, but I didn't expect it to be him, I thought...he is simply a lunatic, and he actually put a curse on it!"

Otherwise, he wouldn't be disturbed, completely lost his mind by the Imperius Curse, and attack other players with black magic.

"You don't have to blame yourself too much," Dimir picked up the amulet blankly. "We have reason to believe that his purpose of trying to frame you is not just to interfere with the entire race."

"I can't figure out what can compare to his vanity, heck... Isn't he getting enough?" The feeling of defeat was not good—his hands and feet were numb and swollen, and all the muscles in his body were throbbing. It took him a while to ask, "How is the game?"

"...Cedric Diggory died, and Harry Potter brought his body back."

"Did Karkaroff do it?!"

"No, it's not him! But he's proven to be a Death Eater, and has betrayed many of his fellow You-Know-Who fellows, and I think that's probably why they couldn't find him, because Potter said 'He' was resurrected." Dimir paused, then narrowed his eyes, "Unfortunately, no matter how far he escapes, the haze of death has not dissipated—he won't live long."

Outside the door, Lola froze when she raised her hand and knocked on the door—she was entrusted by Madam Pomfrey to fetch the old gauze and wound medicine powder replaced by the warriors—and what Dimir said was obviously very light , but every word hit her heart, making her feel tight in her chest.

Everything was so noisy, and Fleur Delacour, who was still lying in the next room, was still awake, and her mother was crying in French, "That's a heart attack, my poor daughter! I really shouldn't... …why did this happen, she almost… oh, bloody game!”

??

No one expected that the grand Triwizard Tournament would be so tragic at the end. Even if he won the championship, the "golden boy" Potter didn't seem to have any joy in it, and just as he experienced the death of his life... After the crisis, another Death Eater who had been lurking at Hogwarts, disguised as Professor Moody, also tried to attack him - while the real Professor Moody was locked in the magic box.

And when Dumbledore told the truth about Cedric Diggory being killed by Voldemort, all the students looked shocked and terrified—in this strange and dull atmosphere, the school leaving ceremony ended hastily.

Before boarding the big ship back to school, Lola did not forget to say goodbye to everyone she knew - she gave Luna, Pansy, and the Greengrass sisters a parting gift each, and of course, there were fewer gifts for the boys. Bow decoration.

"I'll write to you when I'm free. After all, there are very few opportunities for us to meet in the future." Pan Xi said pretending to be sad. At the same time, she didn't forget to rush to Butas not far away. Kaya rolled her eyes - ever since she threw a bottle of cyst potion in the other person's face, Butaskaya no longer dared to arrange people around, and walked around every time she saw her.

"Come on, maybe we can meet again at some banquet." Dracoford raised his head proudly, "After all, real nobles are welcome to invite to social occasions in all countries."

When Zabini received the parting gift, he said nothing, but glanced at the girl with his indifferent eyes-Lola didn't pay much attention, because in her opinion, not every parting is heart-warming. stay in love.

"I didn't interrupt my vacation to Spain this year, I got enough tan."

Sally Ann hugged Lola, and the two agreed to spend the summer vacation traveling through Denmark together.

(Please count me in too! Anthony hops around.)

When Beauxbaton's powder-blue carriage had already taken off, Ryoma rushed out from the Forbidden Forest, and reluctantly walked into the cabin—in the short few months, it also made many friends— Afterwards, the cabin was sealed off by a magic circle. Although there was no command from Karkaroff, everything was still in order. The huge magic school ship folded its sails and drove to the center of the Black Lake to slowly dive—the giant ship will go retrograde along the underground waterway to the mouth of the sea.

Lola was lying on the round window, and the beautiful spiers and castles under the blue sky were slowly being submerged by the water.

[Goodbye, Hogwarts! ]

She said goodbye silently in her heart.
