HP's Adagio Minor

??

Lola sat on the sofa chair with her back stiffened, the pages of the book she had been reading so much were folded in her knees—she stared at the fireplace restrainedly—in the flames of the green field, two magical images hung above her, to be precise, it was Busts of two people.

"...I never knew that my daughter would have such a 'smart' idea." Edgar's face was livid, and the flames were burning around him, making crackling noises, "If Hein hadn't contacted us, Me and your mum and your cousin Graeme thought you were safely back at school and there for the Easter break."

"I'm sorry, Dad, I didn't want to hide it from you."

"But you did it! And you got into Hogwarts - should I praise your bravery?! Or your ignorance?! Don't you know what this place is going through!"

"I know!" Lola hurriedly explained, "So I was worried about Sally Ann and wanted to see her before leaving. But here I found that the situation of Hogwarts students is very bad, and those Death Eaters abused black magic on them , taking pleasure in consuming my life—I couldn’t stand by and just decided to stay for a few days to help, but I didn’t expect that the Portkey would fail..."

Under her father's stern gaze, her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped.

"Miss Barodis, I'm sorry for disturbing your vacation arrangements." Another image said, "After several days of hard searching with your father, I'm finally able to confirm your safety, which is gratifying. "

Heinrich's tone was calm, but his expression was as cold as if there had been a blizzard for several days and nights.

"You didn't return to the Irish arena in time after encountering the dementors in London, and you didn't try to contact the school teachers. This matter itself is wrong. Although you are very familiar with the Durmstrang system and just avoided the bottom line, Therefore, it is considered a violation of school rules-but personally, I strongly disapprove of your self-assertion, you know, putting yourself in danger is the most stupid behavior."

Heinrich's words were approved by Edgar, and the two teamed up to give Lola a hard time, but they couldn't take her back for the time being——if you want to enter or leave a country that is completely blocked, except for constantly Negotiating with the Ministry of Magic, there is no other way but to try to open magical passages such as the Floo Network and Portkeys; and Muggle transportation is not recognized by the mainstream society, and cannot guarantee safety, so they can only tell Lola repeatedly Protect yourself and stay here to wait for news-Lola doesn't want to expose her tracks, lest she cause trouble in the search party full of Death Eaters.

After using the tongs to pass the invalid door key into the fireplace, and obtained a heavy drawstring bag filled with special Floo powder balls, the two clusters of images in the flame finally disappeared with a 'poof, poof'.

Lola rubbed her long hair that had been dried by the fire, and leaned on the back of the chair and let out a long sigh of relief.She knew that she was very reckless this time, and she also knew that the current political situation in Europe was not optimistic, but they did not object to her helping Sally Ann and Hogwarts students.

The anxiety of the past few weeks was eased, and she felt more relaxed than ever. She even had the time to think about what Alexei would do if she knew she was trapped in Hogwarts... Oh, God of Magic, this matter It's better that he doesn't know.

Waving the magic wand, tidying up the desk, and making the bed by the way, Lola looked around from strange to familiar furnishings.Since these days, she has been living here. Although she cannot go out at will, she still understands the information of the outside world in the descriptions of Ravenclaws.

For example, all the secret passages leading to Hogsmeade were blocked, and the wizarding town expelled outsiders for no reason.

For example, the old devil Grindelwald died, and his saints were massacred by werewolves when they held the soul-calling ceremony.

For example, Harry Potter and his partners escaped from Malfoy Manor last week and rescued the prisoners, including Luna Lovegood.

For another example, Ginny Weasley hadn't come to school since the beginning of school, and Neville Longbottom suddenly disappeared on the second day of school, and the Gryffindors were worried.

……

In any case, Hogwarts is still dead, and there is no Easter without eggs and decorated bunnies, which even ghosts can't stand.But all resistance is silent and low-key. Before there is no absolute power to defeat the opponent, most Hogwarts students can only bear it silently.

The only good news, I am afraid, is that Michael has finally recovered.Not only did he expel the remaining witch spells from his body, but he also learned a trick of magic protection.This made several other Ravenclaws suddenly realize that Hogwarts now focuses on brainwashing and control rather than imparting knowledge-this is completely contrary to the school's responsibilities.So, in addition to studying by themselves in their spare time, they also practiced spells privately in the empty room of the tower.

Although Lola is a year younger than Sally Ann and the others, it is undeniable that Durmstrang's teaching is more practical than Hogwarts, especially in the courses of comprehensive dark arts, physical defense, dueling skills, etc. ——Lola has the title of "Student Assistant Teacher". She also taught the lower grades' Charms class before, and guiding this group of Ravenclaws who don't have a solid foundation in "Defense Against the Dark Arts" is simply a piece of cake.

When the clock on the wall moved another frame, Sally Ann hurried back to the dormitory after finishing her night watch.

"Lola!" There was a strange and excited expression on her face, "DA will organize the first official assembly of this school year tonight, which is located in the right corridor of the lobby on the third floor. Neville Longbottom found a He’s been hiding in the living room for the past few days, and he’s still managed to get food! Anthony and I happened to run into him and planned to move there with a few Gryffindors.”

"Wow, that sounds good, do you want me to cover you?"

"No, no need! You have to go with us." Sally Ann took out the cloak from the closet and handed it to her. "You have done so much, you should join DA... put on quickly."

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. After all, I'm an evil, terrible, black magic apprentice from Durmstrang. Oh, yes, you can also call me 'Dark Witch'."

Lola joked as she put on the cloak.

"You don't have to worry about this, we will try our best to convince people from other colleges." Sally Ann took out a dusty notebook from under the bookshelf, and then the two walked out of the dormitory.Anthony, Terry, and Michael were all fully dressed and waiting at the bottom of the stairs. The two Ravenclaw girls behind them looked at Lola in surprise, showing a surprised expression, obviously just got the news.

"It's all ready, let's go." Anthony said.

??

When walking down the spiral staircase of Ravenclaw Tower, Mandy Bloche was still a little bit stunned:

"Merlin! You guys are so secretive, oh, I should have thought about it a long time ago, how could Sally Ann's appetite increase so much!"

"Although those incantations are wonderful, but..." Padma Patil on the side looked very worried, "I really don't know what to say, you are too courageous—what if Carlo finds out? You shouldn't have brought Lola into this."

"Lola did this to save me, we have a responsibility... Hey, she's gone!" Terry choked Michael's loud voice, "Shh, keep it quiet, man, she's right behind you."

"Oh, that's right, her move is simply superb!"

"Thank you for the compliment." A sweet voice with a smile came from the darkness.

The Ravenclaws walked through the corridor, they clinging to the base of the wall, and they walked silently-the levitation spell was added to their legs, a common spell used by northern wizards when crossing the snow, and now it works unexpectedly well.

The group of people didn't stop until they were in front of a bare wall.

"Here it is." Anthony squeezed the enchanted Jin Gallon, "I'll send them a letter."

"Hurry up!" Sally Ann urged.

After a while, a polished door appeared on the wall.Anthony reached out and turned the brass handle - inside the door was a large, torch-lit room with a high ceiling, wooden bookcases lined the walls, and several huge bookshelves stacked on the floor Silk upholstery, except for a few more hammocks in the corner, the overall layout still continues the appearance of the last DA party.

"You guys came on time!"

The Gryffindors had arrived, and Padma walked up to her twin sister, Parvati, and the two began talking in a low voice.

Lola followed Sally Ann and the others to the side and sat down. She did not remove the concealment spell on her body, and the people present seemed to have noticed that a 'stranger' had entered.

After the dawdling Hufflepuffs arrived, Neville Longbottom of Gryffindor told how he found the Room of Requirement, escaped from the pursuit of the Carlo brothers and sisters, and found a new secret passage to the Pig's Head Bar Say it again.

"We are here today because of DA...what do you think of this place?!"

"Excellent!"

"cool!"

Everyone laughed and replied that it had been a long time since they had spoken so brazenly - for a long time before, DA activities basically relied on secret messages, but now that 'freedom' has returned, there is no It's even better than this - the three college students present were all elated.

The Gryffindors were super excited. They had been thinking about striking out for a long time. If it wasn't for being too conspicuous, they would actually want all members to play Missing at once—moving to the Room of Requirement, which made damn Carlo jump in a hurry But I just couldn't find it, and then I waited for Harry to come back and defeat the old bat Snape (oh, don't forget to send a letter to Professor McGonagall), anyway, it's all so cool!

The Hufflepuffs were skeptical about the food at the Hog's Head, and the superior location of the dormitories (adjacent to the basement kitchen) made them still hesitate.However, they don’t mind sacrificing their personal appetite for the sake of DA... If it’s really hard to swallow, they can also process it by themselves—who else can understand so many food-related spells except Hufflepuff?

Ravenclaws are all smart people. During the day in school, they try to make the illusion of 'I only love to study, and I can learn anything'. At night, they paint walls, paint, and write slogans with other DAs... But Now that there is a suitable venue, the 'tradition' of collective study needs to be restored - they urgently need real knowledge to satisfy their surging thirst for knowledge.

The other two academies are in favor of this proposal, and they also want to get back the original intention of forming DA from the joyful and friendly learning atmosphere, and the sense of achievement and satisfaction after truly learning a difficult spell.But back then, all the spells were taught by Harry, and he knew a lot, that's undeniable - now no one can match him in 'practice', so everyone has no idea.

Antonella had expected that everyone would have concerns. It was imminent for DA to improve his own quality. He had already sent the message to the other two academies—he had found the right candidate.

"Tell me, Anthony, who do you recommend?" Hufflepuff's prefect, Ernie McMillan asked.

"That person is in this room." Anthony made a fool of himself.

"You mean, choose one of us?" Hannah Aibo obviously interpreted this as another meaning, "In the case of public election, it must be counted according to the votes of each college."

"No, I mean, she sat with us—but obviously, none of you noticed."

"she?"

Everyone's eyes jumped between Sally Ann and Mandy, but these two people looked like "Don't look at me, he didn't mean me", everyone was confused now.

"Stop joking, buddy!" Ernie felt helpless, "I guessed that you wanted to recommend a Ravenclaw. Your college's overall grades are good, and we have no objection." He glanced at Neville Longbottom (the other party He was talking in a low voice with the people around him,) and continued to add after a pause, "However, you can't become 'experimental monsters' to scare people."

As we all know, Ravenclaw has such a boring habit of being piled up by data.

"I have a question." Seamus Finnigan of Gryffindor said, "Even if you can understand those difficult spell books, it's just a theory, it can't be... oh, Merlin!" His voice Suddenly raised, and then pointed to the corner of the wall speechless.

Everyone looked in the direction of his hand, and saw a mass of air like a shadow cast by the fire, gradually turning into substance, and finally revealing its essence clearly—Lola removed the concealing spell, revealing her fair cheeks , the silver braids hanging down on the black cloak, smooth as silk.

"I remember her!" screamed Lavender Brown. "She was a student of Durmstrang!"

"Is it her? The one riding Pegasus...'Black Witch'?"

"Why is she here?"

The Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs were shocked, and no one expected Lola to appear out of thin air like this.The messy discussion and questioning made everyone focus on the girl, but the latter was very calm and didn't seem to panic at all.

"How could you rashly bring her here?!" Ernie frowned, his tone almost condemning, "Who can guarantee that she won't leak about DA."

"Ahem, in fact——" Anthony explained to everyone, "Lola has been in Hogwarts for a while, but has been staying in Ravenclaw Tower."

"Live with me." Sally Ann continued, "Lola is my cousin, I think she can join DA..."

"Oh no, that's not going to work!" Seamus interrupted. "She's a Durmstrang, a true Dark wizard—she'll attack us!"

"Don't be naive, who will attack you for nothing!" Terry turned on the mocking mode, "The crucible of the 'Demolition Expert' is the big killer."

"you!"

Seamus was embarrassing in front of everyone, and he couldn't hold back his face. His potions were terrible, but Terry was extremely talented. Even Snape couldn't fault him when he was a professor of potions - Seamus was in front of him , unable to refute their own 'crucible explosion history'.

"When the Triwizard Tournament was held, Durmstrong and Slytherin walked closest, and Karkaroff and Snape were also of the same kind." Hannah expressed doubts, "Maybe she is the same."

"It's absolutely impossible!" Michael said righteously, "Lola took a great risk to save me from the vicious witch spell set by the Carol brothers and sisters. Maybe it will take a while longer, and you will only have Met me in St. Mungo's ward...she saved me and had nothing to do with Death Eaters, I swear it!"

"I could swear it too," Sally Ann said. "I haven't written to my family in months. Lola came to me to make sure I was safe, but I didn't expect to be trapped."

Hearing this, many people's expressions became a little loose, and Sally Ann continued, "Speaking of Karkaroff, his death has been published in the newspapers a long time ago. He is indeed a Death Eater, but even if he didn't die, he would Well, the bad things done have nothing to do with Durmstrang—not every wizard who studies the dark arts is evil, such as Viktor Krum, who is also Durmstrang, everyone present Most of them are still his fans—does he attack his opponents with the black magic he learned when playing Quidditch?!"

"Hey, girl!" Anthony, who is a huge fan of Krum, protested in a low voice that his idol was being 'illustrated'.

"Sorry, I'm just making an analogy." Sally Ann smiled slightly at her boyfriend, and said seriously, "Actually, after several years of Triwizard Tournament, our influence on Durmstrang has become less bad— —They are self-disciplined and gentlemen, they never abuse magic at school, and there hasn't been any vicious fights in one school year."

"That's true." Everyone nodded.

"The first section of Chapter 1 of "Introduction to Magic" tells us: 'There is no distinction between good and bad magic, and it depends on the heart of the wizard to judge good and evil.' Therefore, I do not agree to use black magic as a criterion for judging. The quality of a person needs to be presented through his position and what he does."

"You make a good point."

Hannah seemed to be convinced, she cast an apologetic look at Lola, but Ernie was still vigilant, "I still can't trust a dark wizard easily." The families of the students admitted by Tron are all inclined to... black magic, but you know, this kind of powerful, extreme power will make people crazy-you never know when she will destroy Hogwarts !"

Sally Ann just wanted to refute, but was gently pulled by Anthony. She turned her head and saw that Lola had untied her cloak and got up slowly - a slender figure, dignified and graceful, a girl in a moon-white dress Walking gracefully to the open space in the middle of the crowd, he smiled at the Ravenclaws and said, "Thank you for saying so much for me. Now, please allow me to say a few words for myself."

"Of course." Anthony raised his hand and made a 'please' gesture.

Lola smiled, and then looked at Ernie, "I believe that Durmstrang takes black magic as a compulsory course, which makes many people not understand, but I want to say, it is precisely because of this that I understand it very well This systematic spell—unless you want to use lifespan as a medium to cast a forbidden spell, otherwise, I am afraid that there are not many people in this world who can destroy a magic school."

Lola's teasing was met with a few chuckles, and Ernie was embarrassed by his own assumptions.

"Because, in fact, you don't need to worry that I will become a Death Eater reserve. In fact, the Death Eaters once invaded Durmstrang two years ago, even though they broke in during the holiday and brought the werewolf, Half-infernal corpses, even bloodthirsty worms, but still can't do what they want - I was lucky enough to participate in this battle with my friends, and finally won... This matter is completely blocked, so you don't Know that in Durmstrang these days it is strictly forbidden for any student to have anything to do with Death Eaters."

The DAs present were shocked by the strong confidence in the girl's tone of "we don't need to stand in a team, we are in our own team".

After scanning the audience with the 'friendly' expression that she gave to the lower grade students, Lola continued:

"I often write to Sally Ann, and I am also surprised by the strange circle that every professor of black arts at Hogwarts can only teach for one year-I think, since you like Professor Lupine's teaching very much, you should also You should be interested in the real stuff—for the past two weeks, I have explained the protection from witchcraft and the black magic purification spell to Sally Ann and the others. You know, black magic is just a general term, and the content inside Not all the so-called curses...Of course, I still know a few simple ones, otherwise how can I impress those Death Eaters?! But the ones are too vicious, even if you want to learn them, I can't teach them ——Think about it, which school will teach minors this? Don’t parents protest? "

A long self-monologue made most people slightly less wary of Lola's identity. They began to discuss in whispers, and their attitudes were obviously inclined to "yes"-as Lola said, the practice she experienced More than everyone present, and what Durmstrang focuses on teaching is what Hogwarts desperately lacks.

"You seem very confident, we think we can give you a chance." After several Hufflepuff girls discussed, one of the girls said, "Can you cast the Patronus Charm once?"

It is said that Death Eaters cannot cast the protection spell, and people without a pure heart cannot create a patron saint. Dark wizards can easily be backlashed by magic when they cast spells forcibly. No one can hide it under the watchful eyes of the public. It is the best identity prove.

"...The Patronus Charm was created by Principal Dumbledore, do you know it?" the girl asked again with some uncertainty.

"Just wait and see!" Sally Ann replied triumphantly.

Lola and her cousin looked at each other and smiled tacitly, then pulled out their wand, and waved lightly at the air in front of them: "Call God to protect——"

A silvery, hazy and beautiful mist sprayed from the top of the wand, covering the entire ceiling in the blink of an eye, and then, the mist condensed into a solid body—groups of small and cute jellyfish, swinging long tentacles, the skirt seemed to be covered by the tide. Beating, showing a wonderful wavy texture - they are surrounded, sprinkled with silver glitter, floating down, as if bringing everyone into the beautiful underwater world.

Lola's expression also seemed to be very pleasantly surprised. She was immersed in joy, and subconsciously used her magic wand to direct the little jellyfish to gather together, so that the faint silver light on them would not be dazzling—after the light reached its peak, everything turned into light The points dissipated.

Everyone was stunned. Even Sally Ann and Anthony, who had seen Lola's aquatic patron saint before, were stunned by the huge number.

"It can be seen that you are very good!" said the former Hufflepuff girl. "Well, I think you are good enough to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts... My name is Susan Burns."

"Lola? Barodis, nice to meet you." Lola said seriously, and then seemed to think of something, "Just now, when I was concentrating on recalling happiness, I couldn't help but think of the time when I was in Huo During the short study life of Gewarz, the time here is very peaceful and beautiful, which makes people yearn for."

Lola's words silenced everyone, they just want Hogwarts to return to what it was before, back to the interesting period when the Triwizard Tournament first started!

"Well, let me add, in fact, Lola's physical skills are also very powerful, and she is not afraid of close combat." Michael explained in a yelling tone, "I have persuaded you here, don't do it in the future." Pretending to be smart."

Lola raised her eyebrows, and she had to suspect that this guy was trying to arouse other people's competitiveness and let her perform strength work again.

Such gags made everyone gradually relax, and almost when the big guy was about to agree, a voice came from the corner, "Even if she won't do anything to harm the interests of DA now, what will happen in the future! Does she have a close relationship with Ravenclaw?" Wrong, but think about it, the previous 'informant' was not Ravenclaw..."

"Lavender!"

Neville hastily stopped, now is the time to unite, and mentioning this old matter will only escalate the conflict and cause disagreements between the colleges. He wanted to make up for it, but he didn't know what to say.

Although she is also a Gryffindor, Parvati was also shocked by her roommate's words, but she only showed a look of disapproval, and tried her best to appease her sister - because Padma was so close, she almost wanted to jump up Pinching the stupid girl's neck, "For the sake of our voluntary joining DA, how can you talk like that!"

"Too rude!" Mandy snorted coldly.

"Miss Brown must have no brains before she spoke." Terry mocked, while Michael's face was downcast, looking like he might explode at any moment.

"It's ridiculous!" Sally Ann laughed angrily. "If you feel that Ravenclaw is not qualified to be here, we can completely withdraw from DA to relieve your worries."

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Seeing that he had offended Ravenclaw completely, Lavender panicked, "I was afraid you would be deceived."

This made people want to laugh even more, even Ernie and the other Hufflepuffs shook their heads silently, and Neville's forehead was sweating, "Okay, Lavender, please stop talking for now, we Today is to talk about the future of DA!" He looked at everyone in Ravenclaw, "In fact, we all know what is going on... This cannot be blamed on anyone, let alone the school."

"Of course." Anthony's face is still not very good, and anyone who is said to be a traitor in his college will be upset.

The atmosphere was strangely quiet, and everyone seemed to be caught up in the memories of the last time DA was disbanded—that was really terrible!

"...Actually, I, as an outsider, can stay in Hogwarts thanks to the help of Sally Ann, Anthony, Terry, and Michael. I don't want to embarrass them." Lola said suddenly, "But the current situation, I can't leave here for a while... If you still feel uneasy, I am willing to accept the unbreakable curse, how about it?"

The girl openly stated her bottom line, Ernie, Seamus and other students who still had some doubts couldn't help admiring her for her courage.Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and finally turned to look at Neville - he has gradually risen to become the new spiritual leader of DA through repeated confrontations with the Carlo brothers and sisters.

"Tell me, Neville, what should we do?"

"Yes, we listen to you."

Being watched by so many people, Neville seemed tense for a moment, but soon he regained his composure - he looked at Lola with clear and bright eyes, just when everyone thought he would agree, the boy shook his head ,

"No, no need!" He grinned, and his already opened face showed a bit of stupidity, "I heard Luna talk about you before, she said that you are more kind and easy to get along with than others imagined, just like a A Hufflepuff in Durmstrang, with all the integrity and bravery of a Gryffindor—that's an odd description, but I see what she means now."

"I also miss Luna very much. I always feel that I can get a lot of inspiration from taking classes with her. Fortunately, she is safe and sound."

"If she were here, she would definitely accept you without hesitation, and I have no reason to refuse—" Neville walked up to Lola and held out his hand to her, "Welcome to join DA,"

"My pleasure."

The author has something to say:

If there is a loophole in the plot logic, or the timeline is not clear, please tell the author...

-----------------------------------

It is indeed a distressing thing for the chapters that have been written with great difficulty to be accidentally deleted and rewritten. . .

The second half of the chapter is a bit different from the original setting. .Sure enough, write it again, it is impossible to be exactly the same~~~

This chapter has been updated a lot late, because the author doesn’t want to face the reality... I gritted my teeth and finished writing today, only to find that the number of words is unprecedented~ I won’t change it, so let’s integrate it~

It’s really interesting to talk to the supporting characters in the original book~~~Ernie is dragging, I like it~
