[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Tahlia just stood quietly, not saying a word.

Of course she didn't know about it at all—until she heard the discussion among the students who had read the newspaper today.

Whenever that Gavin was killed, it was clearly before Voldemort ordered her to do things for him.

But she said she didn't know, would anyone believe it?Now that she had been labeled as one of Voldemort's men?

So she just stands.

Ignoring the annoying group of Slytherins beside her whispering in her ear that James should be taught a lesson-

"You won't forget that order, will you? Anyone who dares to touch him can try..." She said coldly, those muttering voices disappeared immediately, and she only dared to glare at James.

Seeing that Tahlia didn't intend to answer himself at all, but instead whispered to a few people around him, James lost control of his emotions in an instant. He directly raised his wand and stepped forward a few steps, then shouted a spell and threw it away.

The Slytherin standing in the front dodged in embarrassment. The spell flew towards Tahlia, but she dodged it by turning sideways slightly. The spell hit the wall behind and knocked down a stone brick. The ground shattered into several small pieces.

"Potter, do you want to fight?" the Slytherin dodged the curse growled, drawing his own wand as well.

Anyway, the order only said that he can't take the initiative to attack, so he can always protect himself, right?

"Parkinson, don't be stupid." Tahlia said flatly, and walked directly to the front, facing James who was furious.

Of course she could understand why James was so angry.

Gavin Potter was obviously killed by a Death Eater - could not help but sneer - yes, he would be called that one day.

It was only natural that he would be dissatisfied with her as a reserve, and even impulsively came to question her.

"Potter," she said, a smile on her face. "Maliciously casting a spell on a classmate is not a heroic Gryffindor act—"

"Just murder someone?" James said aloud, raising his hand just as he was about to cast another spell.

Unexpectedly, it was pressed.

He turned his head angrily, and was about to yell at him, to see who would stop him at such a time—

However, when he roared into his mouth, he forcibly suppressed it after seeing the identity of that person clearly, causing the voice to become a strange hoarse growl even though the volume was lowered, but the anger in it could still be clearly heard. "Remus?"

Remus didn't take offense at the angry sound, he just shook his head and looked at Tahlia silently. Only then did James realize that not only Remus, but also Sirius and Peter were already standing around him unknowingly. Although Peter looked scared when facing the group of Slytherins in front of him, he still tried his best to stand beside him with his chest straight. side.

Sirius, on the other hand, made a direct lunge and stood in front of him.

"Calm down, James." Came Remus's gentle voice.

James felt calmer.Looking at Remus gratefully, he took a few deep breaths before speaking again.

"Tahlia," he said. "I just want to ask you one question──" Thinking of this, I felt very sad inside. Who would have thought that the cousin who loved me the most would be killed like this. "Do you even know about this?"

A moment of silence.

"Tahlia, you should answer." Sirius also wanted to know the answer very much.

Tahlia smiles. "The point is never whether I know, isn't it?" Facing the puzzled expressions of the four people in front of her, she continued. "It's about whether you believe it or not, Potter."

James' face fell.

"Then obviously the answer is yes," he said, with a sardonic smile. "You're wrong, Tahlia, the point is always whether you dare to admit it."

After speaking, he pulled a few people and left.

That's right, the point has always been whether you dare to admit it.

Tahlia smiled wryly.

In front of these Slytherins, she really couldn't admit that she didn't know about it, and she couldn't admit that she still regarded them as her best friends.

coward.

"Watson." Avery whispered into his ear suddenly. "How about I teach them a lesson?" He smiled wickedly. "I promise no one will know—"

Tahlia glanced at him coldly, and he immediately regretted saying this, the oppression of the girl in front of him is getting more and more terrifying day by day──

"Don't do such a foolish thing, Avery," she said flatly. "Orders are absolute."

Tahlia looked down at her watch and found that it was almost time for dinner. Although she was not hungry, in fact, she hadn’t felt hungry for a long time. Eating seemed to be just a daily routine. When the time came, she walked in Lobby, fill your belly and leave.

"I'm hungry," she announced.

She walked directly in the direction of the hall, and of course the students beside her followed quickly, as if they planned to follow Tahlia wherever she went.

Of course, with the idea of ​​building a relationship.

Tahlia would never say the words to ask them to stay away from her, even if she wished that they would all be left alone, but obviously she couldn't do that, after all, she had a very clear order from Voldemort on her shoulders— ─She had to snare for him at school.

So even though she deeply dislikes this group of Slytherins who always follow her with greedy faces, she still has to let them follow like this. Felt like their voices were always disturbing her thoughts.

After dinner, Tahlia went straight back to the dormitory, only here, she could be alone, without those annoying guys, and without facing the puzzled eyes of her friends, only herself──

No, obviously today I can't even stay in the dormitory peacefully...

There were several knocks on the door regularly, resisting the urge to yell, Tahlia stepped forward and opened the door a small crack, and through that gap, she saw her roommate—it should be said, the former roommate, Flora Greengrass.

She seemed disturbed, and Tahlia wasn't surprised, considering what she'd done to herself before, even though she wasn't hurt, and taught them a lesson...

"What are you going to do?" Tahlia asked rudely.

Flora trembled, hesitated to speak, and looked at Tahlia hesitantly.

"I still have books to read, so I don't have time to stand here with you—" Tahlia frowned, looking displeased at the cowering ex-roommate in front of her.

How long had she not seen this man?

It seems that since she moved out of this dormitory, she didn't pay attention to Flora anymore, and her attention was on Sirius and the others at that time—

──Stop thinking about it!He abruptly stopped this thought.

The brow wrinkled even tighter. "Why didn't I know you were so hesitant when you spoke?" she said. "What's the matter?"

Flora lowered her head slightly, and her body began to tremble.

Tahlia felt like her patience was wearing thin...

Just about to close the door directly, Flora suddenly raised her head and said. "Ta...Tahlia! Can I, can I move back into this dorm?"

silence.

Tahlia squinted. "I get the impression you moved out by yourself, Flora."

"I..." Flora lowered her head again after being said, as if she wanted to shrink herself to the smallest size.Open your mouth obediently. "I...Kate said that I was always in their dormitory and made them very uncomfortable..." She stared straight at the floor, not even daring to look up.

"Does that mean you were kicked out?" Tahlia said coldly.

Flora flinched again and stopped talking.

Tahlia didn't speak again, she just took out her wand.

"You..." Flora immediately took a few steps back in fright.

Tahlia turned around unhurriedly, and glanced back at the terrified Flora. "Why are you nervous? I'm not trying to cast a spell on you..." After finishing speaking, he turned around and waved his wand.

The books and clothes that were originally placed on Flora's vacated bed automatically floated back to where they belonged, and the stacks of books that had been stacked on Flora's desk obediently moved to the floor next to Tahlia's desk.

After everything was cleared, Tahlia turned to face Flora again. "Okay, where's your stuff?"

Flora's eyes widened, she didn't expect that Tahlia would agree to her request so easily, she thought of those roommates who pushed her away just because she had made things difficult for Tahlia in the past, and it happened that Tahlia was absolutely not the one to mess with now, tears welled up in her eyes out.

"Tahlia, I—"

"You don't have to thank me." Tahlia interrupted her. "In any case, you must not be left without a place to sleep." Glancing at the suitcase behind Flora, he waved his wand again.

The suitcase slowly floated into the dormitory, and landed precisely beside Flora's bed, exactly where they had placed it when they first stepped into the dormitory in first grade.

Flora froze in place, unable to speak for a long time.

Tahlia didn't say anything else, just walked back to the desk silently and sat down, with her back to Flora, but a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

People really are so realistic...

But just let her move back and see how moved she is.

"Flora," she called, turning her head away.

Flora came back to her senses, and replied in a daze. "What, what?"

"You don't organize your things?" She smiled. "There are a lot of classes tomorrow—"

"Oh, yes!" Flora hurried into the dormitory, but couldn't help but look around the whole room, after all, she hadn't stepped into this dormitory for a long time.

"Come on," Tahlia said, with another wave of her wand, and this time Flora flinched without realizing it, and her suitcase bounced open. "The dormitory won't change into something weird just because you moved out earlier."

Flora quickly took out her things and arranged them, while constantly thinking about speaking, she hesitated for a while, and finally she decided to call Tahlia.

"Huh?" Tahlia replied casually as she was concentrating on writing her thesis.

"I'm sorry about the previous matter." Flora said with difficulty. "That was—"

Tahlia spoke without looking up. "I don't mind, so there is no need to apologize." She said casually, and she really didn't care, after all, she never cared whether Flora treated her well or badly, anyway, it didn't matter.

Flora suddenly felt that the recent discussion among the colleges, and even the entire school, that Tahlia was very scary was completely wrong.

The figure of Tahlia writing with her head down in front of her overlapped with the girl who smiled timidly at her a long time ago──

"Flora."

Tahlia's voice came again, but she still didn't look back. "What?" Flora asked.

"Don't misunderstand me." She said, the movement of writing on her hand did not stop at all, and her voice sounded cold. "The relationship between me and you is just that we are divided into the same dormitory." After a pause, he reached out and picked up the thick book beside him and opened it. "So I think I have to tell you first, if you do something to make me—" At this moment, she turned her head, the expression on her face was indescribably indifferent. "──Things that make me mind..." The corners of his mouth curled up. "You know that the fire in the living room is actually warm."

Flora seemed to be submerged in ice water, trembling all over, nodded stiffly, while mechanically packing her things, she didn't dare to say anything, and immediately regretted her decision to move back to this dormitory.

Those discussions are absolutely, absolutely true.

Sure enough, rumors can only exist based on certain facts.
