[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Tahlia Watson knew from an early age that she had to perform well in order to win a little bit of status in the hearts of her parents. As a product of her parents who were not in the plan, she was not able to have model cars or electric toys like her brothers. Her parents were never special. What did they buy for her, they kept her short, well-managed hair, at first glance one would think she was a little boy, the only difference from her brothers was her eyes.

The elder brothers have the same blue eyes as their parents, but Tahlia's eyes are black. She hates her own eyes that are different from those of her family members. Although she is the only daughter in the family, her parents obviously prefer a lively son. I really tried to take care of her as a boy, maybe it would be more convenient. My parents are busy with work and often work late in the factory. Having a son at home can indeed ensure that I can join a more stable labor force later.

On this day, Tahlia was kicking stones along the path by the river. She will go to elementary school soon. For her, it probably means that there are a group of classmates who will laugh at her, but a girl always wears men's clothes and shaves her short hair. With short hair, she doesn't even have a dress, let alone a dress or beautiful mature shoes?Especially her demeanor is really not so...elegant under the influence of her brothers.

With a kick, the stone under his feet rolled forward a long way, and finally stopped beside a boy.

The boy silently looked at the stone rolled to his feet, then at Tahlia who was running over, and kicked the stone into the river without saying anything.

"..." Tahlia watched helplessly as the plaything that accompanied her all afternoon fell into the water as if in slow motion, while the instigator looked nonchalant. "You..." she said. "May I have your name?"

The boy glanced at her before slowly saying, "I don't think it's any of your business."

"You take my stone..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the boy. "How old are you still playing this kind of game... Is your brain not fully developed? You're not a girl." After speaking, the boy left Tahlia stunned and turned away.

Not a girl...

Normally, Tahlia would roar angrily, but today it was abnormal, for some reason, she was not angry when she heard the boy's words, but more sad, but why?She had obviously never seen the boy, but it was the first time he saw Hei's bright eyes, which were completely different from her own, and she suddenly longed to see him again...

A gust of wind blew, and suddenly felt cool on her cheeks. She reached out to touch it and found that it was tears. She hadn’t shed tears since she was 4 years old, and even the malicious ridicule or teasing by her brothers didn’t make her cry. Now, she shed tears because of the boy's words.The boy's face came to mind again, she quickly shook her head to drive him out.

After that, Tahlia passed the trail every day without seeing the boy again.

On September 9st, Tahlia stepped into the classroom, took a seat in the middle and sat down, and waited quietly for the teacher to enter the classroom.Gradually, the seats in the classroom began to fill up, and some children who had known each other before entering school began to chat. Tahlia had been silently watching these future students, but she didn't have the courage to take the initiative to contact them, so she took out her textbook and looked through.

At this time, the classroom door opened again, Tahlia looked up unconsciously, her eyes widened instantly, it was that boy!

The boy seemed to be reluctant to walk in. He scanned the classroom coldly and found that only the front seat was left, which happened to be diagonally in front of Tahlia. The patched gray backpack also took out the textbook.

Tahlia was eager to talk to the boy, and she did, standing up and walking over to the boy. "Well, may I ask..." But her question stopped suddenly, because she didn't think of what to ask at all.

"What to do?" The boy raised his head, his impatience written all over his face.

"Well, we met by the river the other day..." Tahlia said. "You kicked my stone into the river..."

"So?" said the boy. "Are you expecting an apology from me? Then I think you can go back, because I have no impression that we met. Even if what you said is true, I will not apologize. You still spend your mind on books Go." After speaking, the boy focused his eyes on the book again.

"No... I don't want you to apologize! I just..."

"Just what?" the boy asked without even looking up.

"Just...wanted to be with you..."

"Okay, everyone!" Before Tahlia could finish speaking, the classroom door suddenly opened again, this time it was the teacher. "Sit down!"

Tahlia just shut her mouth and walked back to her seat, secretly determined to express success to the boy next time.

"Today is everyone's first day at school, so let's introduce myself first!" said the teacher, and then motioned to a classmate to start.

A little boy with blond hair stood up, smiled at everyone, and spoke. "Hi! I'm Freeman, Timothy Freeman... oh, you can call me Tim."

"Morgan, Jessie Morgan."

"Donald, Sally Donald..."

Soon, it was Tahlia's turn, she took a deep breath, stood up and said. "Hi, I'm Watson, Tahlia Wats..." Before she finished speaking, the classmates started whispering.

"Is she a girl?"

"I thought he was a boy..."

"Why did she cut her hair so short?"

"She shouldn't have a problem, right? You know, here..." The speaker compared his head.

"Quiet!" The teacher on the stage stopped the students and signaled Tahlia to sit down, but did not argue for her. Tahlia felt aggrieved, but sat down anyway. The teacher looked at her in the same way as the students, and couldn't understand her dress , she clenched her fists, she must impress them..."Continue to introduce!"

He continued to introduce himself, but Tahlia didn't think about it until the dark-haired boy reluctantly stood up. "Severus Snape."

This boy obviously received more attention. From the malicious words of his classmates, Tahlia knew that the boy named Severus Snape lived in the slums of this area, and his father was not a good guy, always drinking and making troubles and not doing his job properly. After all, even in the slums, there are many law-abiding people who work hard but earn a meager salary, and their mother is even more weird. Except for the screams from the Snape house at night, which are obviously beaten by Mr. Snape, almost no one has seen it his mother.Anyway, even in the ghetto the Snape house was famously creepy.

But the boy sat down and continued reading as if he didn't hear the discussion of his classmates. This time Tahlia had a deeper impression of Severus, but he didn't remember himself... Tahlia thought sadly.

On this day, all the students in the class knew that there were two weird people in the class, one was Tahlia Watson and the other was Severus Snape.

Originally thought that being excluded by his classmates, the boy might have a feeling of sympathy with Tahlia, but no.In fact, the boy never tried to talk or interact with anyone in the class. Even, Tahlia felt that the boy always looked at everyone, including the teacher, with a disdainful look, as if everyone except the boy was inferior. First class.

A few months after the start of school, Tahlia still couldn't talk to the boy, but the teacher's attitude towards her changed a lot. Tahlia is obviously very good at studying. She has a brain that is smart enough to be called a genius, and The attitude is also very humble. While admiring her, the teacher also learned that Tahlia’s family is the root cause of her dressing up. So far, whenever a classmate makes fun of Tahlia, the teacher will severely reprimand that classmate. Gradually, the classmate The students also gradually talked to Tahlia a few words. After finding that she could help you answer questions about homework, many students also began to abandon their first impressions and began to accept Tahlia.After all, regardless of her appearance, if you get to know her deeply, you will find that she is really an easy girl to get along with.

The only thing that remains the same is Severus Snape, he still does his own way, doesn't care about anyone, and never just wants to pass his homework, it seems that his mind is not on it at all, the boy often has a meal without a meal, it seems that his mysterious mother is not always Can help him prepare lunch. Tahlia felt very sad, although she was not valued at home, but at least her mother never let her go hungry and taught her to work-in order to help the family later, and since the teacher went to the house to tell them how good Tahlia is After that, her parents began to care more about her, but Snape's life did not improve at all because of going to school, which made Tahlia feel very unfair.

On this day, Snape was still staring at the empty lunch bag alone while everyone was enjoying their lunch. Tahlia made up her mind, she packed half of her lunch, which was quite a lot, and put it on the lid of the lunch box, got up and walked towards Snape, put the lid on the box Go to Snape's table.

"What are you doing?" the boy said for the first time in months, glaring at Tahlia.

"You have to eat enough to have the energy to study." Tahlia said naturally. "I noticed that you often don't eat lunch, which is not good for your health..." She saw the boy wanted to speak again, and said quickly. "This is not a charity. You know that the amount my mother packs for me is always the size of a boy. I can't finish it. You can't waste food." Tahlia practiced these words many times secretly, and she knew that boys would not accept it easily Her kindness had to be said so that he could not refute it.

The boy fell silent, and Tahlia knew she had succeeded.She walked back to her seat and pretended to continue to eat lunch, but secretly glanced at Snape out of the corner of her eye. After a long time, she saw the boy hesitantly pick up the cutlery, then she looked away and started to eat lunch.

When Tahlia was about to finish eating, the empty lunch box lid suddenly appeared on her table again, she looked up, and Snape was staring at her. "Food can't be wasted, you said."

Tahlia blinked, then reacted, and said. "Well, thank you for helping me out of my troubles."

"You're welcome." With that, Snape walked back to his seat.
