HP's Adagio Minor

Durmstrang College Dean's Office

"...Principal Sean and Vice-Principal Mandeln have not returned yet. They are attending a hearing held by the United Ministry of Magic in Sweden...Those intruders who trespassed on the school boundary? Death Eaters, yes, and werewolves, We will not deny this point, they are indeed extremely dangerous, but they did not pose too much threat, they were sent to the prison by the defensive magic circle... I am sorry, ma'am, this school strictly prohibits any reporter from conducting field interviews, but I must declare Fortunately, there were no school casualties in this attack..."

Closing the photo frame, Professor Scott wiped the sweat from his forehead. It has been many years since Durmstrang has not been besieged by major newspapers and media—even if he had been in the past, he did not need to deal with it—but this year He had just been promoted to the dean of the college, but he had to replace the two principals and vice principals in public relations in the absence of them.

He looked at the sofa on the other side of the room, "I think the hearing is probably overtime. If you want to see Principal Sean, I'm afraid you will have to wait a little longer, Mr. Barodis."

"I'm afraid I don't have that much time," Edgar Barodis frowned, and said dissatisfiedly, "If your child disappears for more than three days, I believe you will be more anxious than me."

"Of course, I can understand your feelings. The little elf has been searching and rescuing, and we will not give up any possibility." Professor Scott said dryly, "And I have also notified the principal and the school board, I believe they are very happy. Be here soon."

"...Please forgive my gaffe, if you allow me, I have to go out to get some air."

"Of course, Mr Barodis."

Watching the other party walk out of the office, Professor Scott couldn't help sighing. As a grade teacher, he knew Lola Barodis very well. There was no doubt that she was a kind-hearted, hardworking and gifted child. Teachers will not like such students, but, this time...

He didn't want to think about it.

All of this was a bold game. It had been set up since receiving the secret letter from the Vietinghof family. It was led by the two principals alone, and the school board and other teachers were not notified in advance.

And the appearance of pretending to be slack did attract snoopers, but unfortunately, the strict magic circle trap failed to catch August Rookwood——he escaped, leaving behind the seriously injured Parker Ebbotts , the latter was cursed, and died before reaching St. Mungo's.

Even so, he once believed that the situation was still under control. Next, he only needed to eradicate the Death Eater forces infiltrated in Durmstrang, so that the school could stick to one side in the troubled times.Everything changed until Ronnie Morphy broke into the principal's office in embarrassment and told what had happened in a horrified tone.

When they walked through the library on the remains of vampire bugs all over the place, came to the study room of the Black Magic Society, and opened a secret passage to the edge of the frozen lake, the residual, creepy magic breath was clearly the Laughing at their ego.

Then, the elves who searched and rescued found her wand and handed it to the principal's office.However, this made people even more worried - if a wizard lost her wand, it was like cutting off her limbs. How should she protect herself at such a young age?

Accompanied by the light of the six-pointed star, Edgar walked into the study room of the secret room. For a moment, he seemed to have returned to his study life in Durmstrang.

"It's you? Why are you here?"

The portrait came from behind a lush flowering tree, with long silver hair fluttering in the breeze. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, but he had an incongruous maturity, "Since you graduated, you have never I met you, Edgar, you look much older, and you don't sing—oh, yes, you can come in now without singing."

"The patriarch." Edgar saluted and asked bluntly, "I wonder if you have seen Lola recently?"

"Of course I saw her, just three days ago, but she disappeared again a few minutes later, there seems to be a strange magical fluctuation that affected the transmission of the Portkey—" At this point, the portrait paused, "Outside What happened?"

After listening to Edgar's general account of what happened, the portrait paced back and forth in several frames, "You said, those Death Eaters broke into the library and stole the Great Alchemy Handbook? What do they want this for?" ?The IQ of those guys—I'm not saying, they don't have the ability to study these advanced alchemy—and the contents of that handbook have been duplicated long ago, so why bother to open the 'Divine Seal'? Could it be Voldemort..."

Hearing this name, the veins on Edgar's forehead twitched, and he clenched his fists tightly, "The chief patriarch, the most important thing now is not this matter, but Lola—she is missing."

"Missing?" The portrait raised his eyebrows, "What can I know about this kind of thing, why don't you ask the picture hanging outside, that guy is not like me, he can only stay in this place, if he is happy, You can still walk around, find out new news if you say you can't..."

"He's just a secondary painting."

"Me too."

"No, you are different from it." Edgar stared at the boy in the picture frame tightly, the corners of his mouth tightened, "You don't think your descendants are so stupid that they can't even recognize Horcruxes, do you? Great patriarch?"

For a while, the study in the secret room was extremely quiet, only the petals of lavender flowers falling silently to the ground from the branches in the painting.After a while, the portrait lazily opened its mouth, "Although I said that, I didn't feel much sincerity from you in the past, but—" it drew a long tone, "I really like Lola very much, she is a A considerate girl, she uses Transfiguration very well - have you seen that oriental vase, it used to be an earthenware pot with a gap in the handle, but now it is so delicate and beautiful... You understand me mean?"

"She's still alive."

"Live well."

"But I can't find her through the protective spell, the magic barrier of 'Kamos' blocks everything... Where is she?"

"I'm sorry I can't answer this question. After all, I'm not a god who knows everything, but..." The portrait's beautiful purple eyes flashed a gleam, "As far as I know, no magic is as effective as a contract, especially magic. There is nothing more reliable than the magic circle contract that comes from the blood, and the creatures tamed in this contract are all the darlings of natural magic. They naturally know how to use a little clue to go Looking for the real master..."

Demon Wolf Clan? Black Rock Tribe

After staying in the wolf tribe for a few days, Lola gradually got used to the primitive tribal life here. In fact, it was not as difficult as she imagined.Whether it was chopping firewood or digging under the snow to find plant roots, it reminded her of the wilderness survival training class she had participated in-of course, this had to exclude the restrictions of eating frozen raw meat and not being able to use a magic wand.

Because she doesn't have the quality and ability to hunt in the wild, she works with the old people and children in the tribe, melting ice and boiling water, stitching animal skins and other tasks can be regarded as smooth, but she can't stand the deerskin peeling—— —After witnessing the whole process for the first time, she was so nauseated that she couldn't eat anything.

Fortunately, Wonimir took good care of Lola, not only brought her a rare delicacy (honey), but also often chatted with her in his spare time, relying on him to explain everything.Once, Lola asked him why there was not a female wolf in the whole tribe.

"What's so strange about this? The adult demon wolves in the tribe will go to the tundra during the breeding season. At that time, if there are female demon wolves who are willing to have children with them... and have children, they will bring the children back to raise them. Of course, only Men only."

This strange marriage system made Lola very surprised, and the wolves who lacked the ability to get along with the opposite sex seemed to have different attitudes towards young girls besides the reverence from the 'spirit'.

for example.The young wolf leader, Simon Hess, distrusted wizards very much. Even though Lola was a non-threatening opposite sex, he still maintained a skeptical attitude. 'Ling' will never save her.On the other hand, the demon wolf was extremely enthusiastic, which was quite different from the natural appearance of Wernimir. The overly attentive performance caused Lola to instinctively feel disgusted.

But no matter what, the demon wolves seemed to have made up their minds and were unwilling to let her go again.Even the high priest kept silent about this matter, and for a while, she didn't know what to do.

On this day, the demon wolves who had tracked the reindeer herd for five days returned to the tribe. In an excited tone, Warnimir described the fruits of victory captured by the brave demon wolves-not only did they bring back until the 'ka Moss' finished food and even drove off the enemies who had attacked the Graystone Horde. "

"...how brave Simon Hess was to take a captive."

What Lola never expected was that this 'captive' would be an acquaintance.

"Senior?!"

"Lola, Lola?!" Reyey Hane raised his head in astonishment and with difficulty. His hands and feet were bound together by ropes, and he lay reclined in the cold rubble, looking extremely embarrassed. "Why are you here?" here?"

"It's a long story... how about you?"

"Me too. It's a long story."

After Lola untied the rope and brought thick fur and hot spirits, Reyey seemed to recover, "Merlin! It's too cold here!" He said, "I I hate this kind of blizzard weather the most, and I hate this backward place even more... But your treatment looks good, women's welfare?"

The feeling of meeting acquaintances is that they can talk to each other to their heart's content. After the two of them got to know each other about the situation, they looked at each other speechlessly.

"Durmstrang was invaded by Death Eaters, werewolves, and vampires? They also stole books? Those ghouls? They can read?"

"Strictly speaking, it should be a half-infernal corpse, and the person who took the book can't be sure of his identity. He may, may..." Lola's voice became softer as she spoke, and finally she decided to change the subject, "What about you, Gray?" Did you guys do the Yan Tribe attack?"

"Of course not!" Reyey shook his head, "Although I agreed to Quesai, it was clearly written to 'capture alive', how could I kill them, and so many died! You know, it's not easy, Few of the wizards who came with me could withstand the extremely cold weather here, so we only caught... few of them, and they are still locked in the basement of the survey station... If it weren't for being trapped by the snowstorm, we would have already caught them... Just leave here, and you won't be discovered by these stupid guys at all."

"Then why don't you shift the phantom?"

"I think so too, but now that the 'magic barrier' will interfere with the magic power, I don't want to have any accidents where my limbs are separated, and my wand was trampled to pieces by those stupid guys."

"Senior, if I want to return to Durmstrang, how long will it take to get there?"

"Let's go?" Reyey glanced at the girl strangely, "Do you know where this is? The Ural Mountains! Miss Barodis, this mountain range is located on the edge of the West Siberia Plain, that is to say, we are now in Russia. within the boundaries."

"Russia?"

Lola repeated in surprise that the wolf tribe was so far away from Demstra, and she felt dizzy in her head.

"And we can't cross the magic barrier back to Scandinavia before the end of the polar night, it's too risky, more dangerous than living here."

"Is there no other way?" Lola was a little disappointed, but then thought of something, "Then if we enter a Russian city, then contact us for rescue?"

"Sounds easy enough, but we're both wandless, what can we do? You don't see how the wolves don't think much of us--but as for contacts, I can think of a way, but First, I have to go back to the original reconnaissance station..." Reyey looked at Lola, "Do you think these barbarians will let us go?"

Seeing the thoughtful expression on the girl's face, Reyey took another sip of the wine, the pungent taste made him cough again and again.

A few days later, when the girl told Leyey the news that the wolf tribe had agreed to take the two of them back to the survey site, he didn't seem too surprised.In fact, he has long been sensitive to the fact that these monsters treat Lola unusually. The same words, said by her, will definitely have a better effect than his own.

However, Lola was not happy - because of this, she had a dispute with Simon Hess - the other party's wariness, suspicion, and look of contempt hurt the girl's self-esteem.

"I didn't intend to stay and enjoy myself from the beginning, let alone squander resources, but it turned out to be defined as eating and drinking." She complained.

"Then, these monsters, I mean demon wolves, why did they keep you?"

"I don't know." Lola shook her head, "The High Priest always emphasizes 'time to return'."

"Timing?" Reyey was full of doubts, "It sounds like it has a mysterious meaning, but unfortunately I don't understand it, but being able to be like this is already a 'captive' preferential treatment," he said, nibbling on Lola's belt The barbecue that came, "I just don't know when I can get out of the haze of death."

"They won't kill you." Lola said seriously, "They have an agreement with the ancestors of Durmstrang, and they will never harm the students at school."

This is what Warnimir told her. When the two sides were at war, the demon wolves took him back as a prisoner because they smelled the contract from Reyey—other adult wizards who broke into the territory had already They were driven to death.

"Whoa! With that said, I should really be glad I didn't graduate from school—seriously, I wouldn't mind being a repeater for the rest of my life."

It was only then that Lola remembered that the senior in front of her was traveling around the world in style before she got her graduation certificate and saber.Then, for some reason, the two of you talked to each other, and the topic changed to the world's knowledge and food.

"Rather than eat raw meat and fat mud here, I would rather go back to Spello, where not only delicious food, but also a large fertile land, planted with many vines and olive trees, there is a flower festival every year, people always like to put Flowers are sprinkled all over the streets of the town..."

Reyey suddenly fell silent as he spoke. He hadn't returned to his hometown for many years. Originally, he planned to propose to Elena and take her back to Italy for a visit.

Lola also misses her parents very much, misses Riga's beach, and the endless blue sea water, and as she was thinking, the pendant around her neck suddenly vibrated slightly and flashed green light.

Surprised, Lola subconsciously grabbed the hem of her shirt. She raised her eyes to look at Reyey - the other party was still staring at the snow outside the gap in the cave, and didn't notice this abnormality.
