HP's Adagio Minor

??

When the boy walked into the infirmary, the girl was standing on the outside terrace looking at the distant sky, looking a little lonely.

Alexey waited quietly by the door for a while before saying, "Hi, Lola."

The girl turned her head abruptly, and then relaxed after seeing the person coming, "Alexey! What time are you——I didn't hear a sound."

"Just now, come get some painkillers, Mrs. Khametova is not here?"

"Yes, she went out, and I didn't meet her when I came."

"You are hurt?"

"Just a scrape," Lola said, raising her bandaged arm, "although it's a bit ugly."

"Not at all, girl with skillful hands." Alexei brushed off the white sheets to dry, and stood beside the girl, "The weather today is really good, and I can see the entire snow-capped mountain clearly... Eh, why is there a snow mountain near the top of the mountain?" There's a gap?"

"It's always been there, haven't you seen it?" Lola asked suspiciously.

"Sorry, I never noticed it, so today is a coincidence—that is, I discovered a new thing and met Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Seeing the young man looking at her with a smile, Lola suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She tried to change the subject, "You don't seem to be in school these few weeks. Are you going to participate in the graduate social practice?"

"Yes," Alexei nodded, "For this, I have to leave the Quidditch team temporarily, and I hope those guys can complete the prescribed high-pressure training on time."

"They work very hard, and Fligo spends almost every day on the training ground."

"It should be like this. The inter-school league is about to start. If you win the championship this year, you will have the opportunity to visit the A-level Quidditch club and receive face-to-face guidance from the best coaches in the world. Spotted by scouts."

"So your social practice is also related to Quidditch!" Lola looked at the badge hanging on the other's chest, which was a clown flower.

"I worked as a coaching assistant for the Grozisk Leprechauns in Poland. Although the job was a bit sad, I learned a lot... Actually, I could have chosen to go to the Gorodok Monsters, where the practical work was arranged on the sidelines A training partner, but recently the club has been reorganizing its funds, and has not played a league game for several months, and there is no atmosphere of preparation for the game..."

"I believe in your choice, and you will succeed."

"Of course, I have been walking towards the goal, and I will never turn back!" Alexey joked, "By the way, how are you doing recently?"

"I, I'm not bad."

"Yes, then it seems that my little gift is useless."

"??"

"Ahem, I've prepared a powerful hug. Here's a warm reminder that it's free for a limited time." Alexei said and opened his arms. He was still wearing thick protective armor, which looked like a Funny big Siberian bear.

Lola couldn't react for a while, she looked up at him, and suddenly realized that he was so tall and straight.

"I said, don't you really think about it?"

The slightly earnest tone made the girl finally couldn't help laughing. Seeing this, Alexei also grinned - his eyes were bright, and he looked warm and friendly.

"Why not!"

Lola graciously embraced the senior who had always taken care of herself.

Alexei stared at the top of the girl's hair. The faint fragrance made him a little distracted, but he didn't make any overstepping behavior, but patted the girl on the shoulder lightly.

"Lola, you're stronger than I thought."

With such a simple sentence, Lola's eyes felt hot. She grabbed the boy's robe and raised her head after a while, "Sorry, I..."

"There's nothing to apologize for, the tears are just sentimental—in fact, I hope they're for me..."

Hearing this, Lola's eyes widened, and after being washed by tears, her eyes were as clear as green water waves.

"Usually ladies don't show such eyes, but you are obviously different." Alexey rubbed the girl's head with a smile, and said in a brotherly doting tone, "If I successfully sign the club , Come and watch my promotion match during the summer vacation, how about I treat you to a big meal then?"

"……OK."

"Then it's settled!"

Alexey's smile was as sunny as ever.

Germany? Stuttgart? Von Stillland Manor

A dark carriage was parked at the main entrance of the manor, and an elderly woman was sitting in the carriage. She was wearing a crow-colored top hat and gown, and she almost merged with the shadows in the carriage.

"Mother."

Conrad stepped forward and helped the old woman out of the car.

"How's the arrangement going?"

"Everything is ready, please don't worry."

"...that is the place where your father was born. He often said that he wanted to go back and have a look. He has been talking about it for so many years, but this time he will stay there forever." Mrs. von Stilland spoke in a nasal voice, obviously I just cried, "It's a pity that I'm a useless person. I can't accompany him to the last journey, and I can't protect the whole family."

"Don't you say that, if it weren't for us, you wouldn't have—"

"Don't say that. After all, he is your uncle. If he comes forward to clarify the allegations made by the tax office, it will be much better than sitting still."

"You're right, but it's too exhausting after all... Please rest well, and let Eilish take care of everything at home."

"I always want you to be independent, but I'm often worried." Mrs. von Stilland patted her eldest son's hand, "Where's Anos?"

"I have sent him to Castle Black, and he should be at the end of the land by now."

"You did a good job." Mrs. von Stillland nodded, "He is still young, so he shouldn't be distracted by such things. Let him study in a local school in Germany after the limelight passes."

"Understood," Conrad hesitated, "Mother, there is one more thing."

"Things related to the family property shall be arranged according to your father's will." Mrs. von Stilland coughed a few times, exhausted by excessive grief, "Other things, I don't want to know."

After sending Mrs. von Stilland back to her bedroom, Conrad stood outside the door in a daze. An elf entered the room with a potion, and came out with an empty tray after a while.

"The old lady drank the medicine and fell asleep." It reported.

"Go down."

Conrad sighed. Over the years, her mother has always been in good health. She not only took care of housework, but also often advised the family business. She did not expect that her father's sudden death would hit her so hard.

As for his father, apart from being sad, Conrad felt that what happened was very strange—how could his father, who was always cautious, mistakenly drink a drug as champagne?

It's a pity that not everyone was vigilant. After the funeral, Conrad's two brothers couldn't wait to ask for the execution of the will, and then argued endlessly over the inheritance rights enjoyed by Anos, completely ignoring those greedy eyes Keep an eye on them all the time.

His father's aloof temper during his lifetime made many enemies in the social circle. Although he joined the industry under von Stilland's own name and joined the International Business Alliance, he understood that businessmen were only partners attached to their interests.Right now the von Stillland family is in chaos, the safety of the clansmen is questioned, and the family property is in jeopardy, but his stupid younger brothers have joined forces with unbearable foreign forces to amass money wantonly on the German border, and even threatened to pledge allegiance to the so-called 'The Pure Blood Code'.

Conrad frowned, and he kept pacing in the study until there was a light knock on the door.

"Father."

"Anos?!" Conrad stared at the person in disbelief, "Why are you here?"

"I'm sorry, I decided to come back without authorization." The young man took off his travel cloak, revealing the white official dress robe inside, "You shouldn't hide the destination of the entire trip from me, of course, the confusion spell did work, but it maintained Obviously not enough time."

"Castle Black is the safest place, it can incapacitate any wizard, and protect its master forever - all I have done is to ensure your safety until the storm subsides..."

"Father!" Anos couldn't help taking a step forward, "Do you think I'm still a child who doesn't know the world? The situation is so dangerous now, since I am the heir of the von Stilland family, of course I should be like you Staying here - it's a duty, it's an obligation."

"you……"

Conrad was at a loss for words for a moment, and only listened to the young man continue to speak, "'A true von Stillerland should do what he says and do what he wants, and never compromise with any form of dishonesty or innocence. , I don't want to...'—In any case, I will never leave the manor, leave you, mother, and grandmother."

Looking at Anos' firm eyes, Conrad had mixed feelings, but before he could speak, a house elf suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Master, Master Charnes and Master Cornelius are here..."

??

Conrad did not show the slightest relaxation because of the arrival of the two younger brothers. He let Anos follow behind him, and the two walked along the corridor towards the living room—just when they were about to arrive, Conrad De stopped suddenly.

Anos was a little puzzled, but soon he understood his father's intentions, leaned slightly behind him, and went into the side hall next door alone.

The door of the living room opened slowly, Conrad ignored the strange atmosphere inside, and went straight to the sofa—Charnes von Steele was the first to stand up and salute, Cornelius von Steeleland followed closely Followed, but it seems reluctant.

"Sit down," Conrad waved his hands, apparently not caring about these polite formalities, "Why are you two here?"

"We just came here to ask about the situation," Chains said, "Will the tax office really seal up those factories to the west?"

"It's hard to say, but no matter what, the loss caused by this incident forced us to cut off this part of the funds..."

"—but then I'll have to declare bankruptcy!" Cornelius interrupted the conversation of the two brothers, he said anxiously and urgently, "I have inherited such a small property, if I give up In terms of processing plants, the remaining old businesses can only maintain the daily expenses of the manor."

"Isn't that enough?" Conrad scolded with a straight face, "If you hadn't been blinded by profit, you wouldn't have been charged by the Ministry of Magic for tax evasion—the reputation of generations of the family has been ruined by you. Gotta clean it up."

"Don't talk to me in that tone, Conrad!" Cornelius blushed, "Reputation? What kind of reputation? Von Stillland's reputation has been ruined since your dealings with Muggles It's a mess—I'm surprised that my father and mother are still obsessively supporting you, but they don't care about my life or death."

"Don't care about you?" Conrad laughed angrily, "Father was still talking about you before he died, but you only know how to yell at him."

"I didn't, I was just scared, not against him—"

Seeing that the emotions between the brothers were a little out of control, Chains hurriedly smoothed things over, but Cornelius was still reluctant, "I saw my mother's carriage outside just now. She came back from Luxembourg, right? I want to see her, I want to see her." Tell her that her son was slandered and should not have been abandoned by the family so lightly—"

"Enough!" growled Conrad. "You can't see her. She's been pissed off about you and needs to rest now—if she wakes up and wants to see you, I'll send you a message."

"But--"

"No but," Conrad stared at his younger brother who didn't know how to advance or retreat, "I must remind you, Cornelius, we have separated, and you must listen to me here!"

Cornelius wanted to say something more, but Chanes stopped him, "Conrad is right, mother shouldn't be traveling long distances at her age, she needs rest more than us, and you are yelling like this It’s really disrespectful.”

"I'm glad that there are still people who are still awake, and this time, at least you didn't bring anyone here again."

As soon as this incident was mentioned, Chains felt uncomfortable, "That time—I mean, we were really reckless—afterwards, officials from the Ministry of Magic came to investigate. Fortunately, the German Ministry of Magic and the British Ministry of Magic The friendship on the side is not bad, so even if a foreigner like August Rookwood walks around in the noble circle, it will not cause too much trouble..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cornelius retorted, "Mr. Rookwood is a noble 'guardian', and the 'pure-blood honor' he follows is very empathetic to us."

"But don't forget, he's a Death Eater." Conrad said unceremoniously, "a servant who has been reduced to an evil force, just trying to win a group of supporters for his terrible master—it just so happens that some You idiot, you just believed the lie."

"He approached us through the Toshick family," Chanes said somewhat restrainedly, "he hoped to talk to those high-level Muggles through our trade network, but later, he began to accuse us of having a relationship with A Muggle deal."

"He was just a suggestion, he said it, just a suggestion." Cornelius was still defending, but no one paid attention.

"—I thought that such a conversation was nothing more than normal 'communication', but later I heard that the Odoo family in Rhineland-Palatinate refused August Rookwood's proposal for cooperation. , and was attacked by a werewolf, just a few days ago... I remember the day August Rookwood stormed off, so I was worried—"

When Chanes said this, he was obviously a little nervous.

"Your worry is not unreasonable, Chanes, after all, those people's hearts have long been distorted, and as fugitives from Azkaban, no one can be sure that the wands of these desperadoes are still clean—" Conrad Looking at the two younger brothers seriously, "If August Rookwood really wants to take revenge, he must also remember that this is German territory - and 'that person' must first conquer Britain before he can get revenge." Have the energy to take care of other..."

Although the facts were indeed as the two brothers said, Cornelius did not intend to agree with such a point of view.In his opinion, it is better to directly join this 'great organization' than to wait and see - you must know that even if some people throw away all their family property, they may not be able to really touch the core, but he is so close now - in today's When the various forces in the magic world reshuffle the cards, if you don't seize the opportunity, you will lose all your advantages.

So, he interrupted the topic again, and turned the focus of his remarks to the 'unjust' inheritance rights, "Partial! Too partial!" He shouted, "They are all descendants of the family, why can Anos inherit from them? One, and Everest has nothing."

"I've said this more than once. Could it be that you have been under the amnesia spell?!" Conrad was a little annoyed, "Father has long regarded Anos as the heir of the von Stilland family. What was given was only a few treasured trinkets—although those things are indeed ancient and precious, but in the final analysis, everything is just a legend, and no one has really found the treasure of the Wende tribe."

"Hmph, maybe..."

Cornelius became more and more convinced that there must be something strange about it. He squinted his eyes and looked at the magnificent living room in front of him. Every place here was full of his childhood memories, but it no longer belonged to him.Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind, if he was the one who inherited the old house of von Stilland, everything would be different...

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still. He had to find that opportunity. At least, he had to let Conrad give up his son's inheritance rights—for the sake of their blood, it would not be unreasonable if they could share the treasure equally. thing.

"Cornelius, where are you going?" Charnes asked.

Looking at the back of Cornelius leaving in a hurry, Conrad stood up without saying a word. He glanced at the landscape painting on the wall - at the other end of the room, Anos silently closed the speculum , walked out of the side hall.

When Anos appeared at the entrance of the hall, Chanes was extremely surprised. He thought that his brother would take the heir to Castle Black and keep it secret, but he didn't expect that Anos would still stay in the manor.

"This……"

"He wants to stay, and the child will always have his own ideas when he grows up." Conrad explained lightly, "And there are some things that I don't want to hide from him."

"I'm not sure, Conrad, whether it's appropriate for the child to know about it."

Seeing that Chanes was slightly embarrassed, Conrad patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, it's rare for you to come back, why don't you stay for dinner, I think mother will be very happy to see you."

Chanes nodded, and then looked at his nephew—this handsome young man, who has five points of portraits with Conrad, exudes full von Stillland-style charm in his gestures, and moves Also quiet, personable, only in a short moment, can people notice that sharp and vigilant line of sight.

In such a comparison, Chains felt that the youngest son of the Cornelius family was completely incomparable (the latter was only 11 years old).But from the bottom of his heart, he still hopes to win more benefits with Cornelius. Anyway, he only has Enid as a child. As long as the family does not suffer too much damage, no matter how the family is divided, a generous dowry is indispensable. After all, she She is the only girl in von Stilland's life.

Conrad looked at his cowardly and mediocre brother, and didn't want to break his little thoughts.

[Perhaps, after some time, the whole thing will be very different. ]

He thought so.

The author has something to say:

Well. .Dark tone. .In order to choose the right Death Eater candidate, the author listed several characters, and finally decided on Luke Wood to play the trick. Do you guys have any impression of him?

In addition, a paragraph was rewritten at the end of Chapter [92]. If you haven’t read the children’s shoes, remember to go back and make up for it
