[HP] Can you be gentle with me

And so it went.

At least the next morning, except for a few parties, no one else knew what happened.

Not even Remus knew.

Everyone chose not to tell him for the time being, otherwise he would be very sad if he found out, and the self-confidence he had built up with great difficulty over the years might return to the original point in an instant.

Even Snape was immediately gagged by Dumbledore as soon as he woke up, but he responded to Sirius' stammering apology with a snort of disdain, which almost caused the two to fight again in the medical wing. Fortunately, the principal was present and they fell down. It's not enough to do anything directly, but the relationship between them is even worse.

This matter can be regarded as a secret, which will be buried in their hearts forever.

The only thing Snape can't accept is that he was saved by a Potter, and just thinking about the smug look on his face afterward gives him a headache. Sure enough, he shouldn't be curious about Tahlia and their little secret──involved in Tahlia If nothing good...

He suddenly wanted to know, if she was the one who faced the werewolf that night, would Black's attitude change completely now?ha!The person they're apologizing to becomes Tahlia...

Judging by their current relationship, it will obviously be exciting──

What Snape didn't know was that Sirius had been trying to talk to Tahlia since that night. He wanted to say something - an explanation, an apology... he just wanted to talk to her anyway.

They had hardly seen Tahlia before, but if they stopped the procession surrounding her, Tahlia would still show up and at least be willing to listen to what they had to say.

Now it is completely impossible.

No matter how much he yelled at those Slytherins, how much they gritted their teeth and wanted to cast a curse on him or beat him up, Tahlia just didn't show up, didn't want to step out behind those Slytherins, and wouldn't even see him .

He really wanted to apologize to her himself, he had already apologized to Snape, but he was sure he should apologize to her as well, he shouldn't have been so naive, he really shouldn't have let something so dangerous happen to Snape, he-

"I think she's overreacting, Sirius──" James patted his shoulder reassuringly and said. "It's been almost two months. She can't keep worrying about it. After all, you realized the seriousness of the matter at that time, didn't you?"

"She said she was disappointed in me, James," Sirius said sullenly.

"I don't think she should have said that," James said sternly. "She's done enough to disappoint us, you shouldn't mind—"

"Yes, yes!" Peter nodded.He had been informed of this too, and Remus was the only one kept in the dark. "I don't think Tahlia should be so decisive..."

Sirius rolled his eyes. "Should I be glad you know how to use the word resolute, Peter."

"Come on, we should really be happier," James said cheerfully. "Tonight is a big day!"

It was only then that Sirius remembered that tonight would be the first time they formally tried to transform without using potions. Peter's aggressive accident happened earlier. They have researched more thoroughly, and I don't know if their attitude has become more serious. The reason is that they always feel that their research is getting smoother and smoother, and they are very confident about tonight's transformation. Even Peter has shaken off the shadow of last time, and is eager to try.

Thinking about it, the mood of anticipation gradually overwhelmed the mood of irritability, and he nodded. "Well, I bet we make it tonight."

Tahlia hadn't seen Sirius and the others for a long time, it was her intention.

She knew what Sirius had been trying to explain to herself, but so what?It didn't mean that after she listened to his explanation, they would reconcile as before, and he would be able to accept the fact that he was the man's subordinate. If so, why bother to get in touch?

She has long understood that too much contact will hurt each other one day. She was too obsessed with Snape before, so now she always feels like there is a knife stuck in her heart, and she can't pull it out no matter what. It will be painful.

She should have insisted on staying far away and paying attention to them silently. As long as they are fine, there is no need for her to contact them at all.

Anyway, she has fallen in their eyes, so what else does she need to explain?

Still, she noticed.

The four of them called each other like code names.

Moony, Padfoot, Wormtail, Prongs.

It sounded nothing at first, but Tahlia knew what they were researching, and it was not hard to imagine how these names came about—so their Animagus was finally a success.

I am happy for them from the bottom of my heart.

Originally, she was worried that after Peter's incident, they would completely lose confidence, or that Peter would give up in fear, but obviously she underestimated the so-called Gryffindor's courage.

Peter's accident, not only did not hurt them, but made them improve even more, that's why they were able to successfully transform into beasts so quickly.

Although it was unknown what kind of animal the three of them had turned into, it was clear that Remus would not be alone again on the night of the full moon.

That's fine.

"Watson."

Tahlia scowled, glaring disapprovingly at the Slytherin walking towards her.

The student flinched, but still handed out the letter in his hand. "Here, my father said that it will be handed over to you."

"Yeah." Tahlia took it, waving the student away casually.

"What is it?" Little Barty moved closer, wanting to read the content too, but was immediately dismissed by Tahlia's magic wand in front of his throat at some point, and quickly withdrew his body.

"Barty," Tahlia said coldly. "Aren't you being a little restless?"

Little Barty swallowed. "Sorry, I was just thinking maybe I could help—"

"I need your help, I'll tell you." She gave him another cold look before opening the envelope.

──So, what do you want her to do this time?

But this time it's not a mission.

Instead, it's an invitation.

Plus a line of words on the back: important matters, arrive early.

So that's why so many Slytherin students had asked her to leave school this week, because Lucius and Narcissa's wedding was next weekend.

Did the man mean to ask her to participate?I want her to arrive sooner—

Otherwise, she would not have the slightest desire to attend, but there are two people who have been together for a long time, and there are more proofs, not to mention that she does not plan to contact Lucius for the time being.

After thinking about it, she smiled wryly... She can't decide whether to go or not. After all, the invitation has been handed over to her. Does she still have the right to refuse?

After pulling out a piece of parchment, he also started to write the application for leaving school.

In fact, she wished that someone else could do these things, but now that the other prefects in Slytherin—whether they are in the fifth or sixth grades—do not obey her at all, if this year's student council president is not a Hufflepuff, She will have the illusion that the whole school listens to her.

However, after all, she is indeed the prefect of Slytherin now, and under such circumstances, she has almost taken care of all the prefect's work.

At first, she almost forgot about the election of a prefect in the fifth grade, because there are too many things.

So when the prefect's badge fell out of the envelope of her book list, she was stunned for a while, but she didn't let others know, not even Josh and the others. It doesn't matter to her at all, does it?

After asking again if anyone else wanted to submit a leave application, she knocked on the door of Slughorn's office with a stack of thick parchment in her hand.

The door opened and Slughorn smiled when he saw it was Tahlia.

"Ah, Tahlia, good girl…" he began kindly. "Is there a problem?"

Tahlia held up the stack of parchment. "It is so, sir—" she began. "A lot of students have to go home next week because—"

"Mr. Malfoy's wedding reception, I know," Slughorn answered, pointing to his desk. "Just put the application there. I'll ask the headmaster to arrange a train."

After all, Slughorn had been the head of Slytherin for many years, and he knew very well that for the children of these pure-blood families, attending such banquets was an obligation, and they could not refuse them.

In fact, he was also on the invitation list—since his students were widely distributed in various industries in the magical world, there were many top figures among them.

"Sir, I have to go too," Tahlia said.

This shocked Slughorn.

"why?"

He knew that Tahlia was of Muggle blood, and logically he wouldn't have been invited.

Tahlia smiles. "You know, Senior Lucius has always taken care of me, and Senior Narcissa also chats with me from time to time."

But she thought ironically in her heart that it was precisely this damn care that made her fall into the current situation.

Slughorn showed a knowing expression.

He did remember that.

The Malfoys had been kind to Tahlia when they were at school, so it wasn't surprising that they invited their school girl to their wedding reception.

"I see." He nodded. "I'll let you know when I've approved those applications—"

Tahlia leaned forward slightly. "Thank you, sir."

Slughorn watched with relief as Tahlia exited the office.

Time has indeed passed quickly. The talented child at the beginning has grown up to be even better now. Although he comes from a Muggle family, he is not sloppy with these etiquette, politeness, etc. If he hadn't known her a long time ago Of her pedigree, her performance was absolutely impeccable.

Anyone else would have thought she came from a noble pure-blood family.

A black-haired boy from many years ago suddenly appeared in my mind──the same perfect smile, the same excellent pride...

Shake your head quickly.

Tahlia was different from him.

This time, he can be sure.

Slughorn didn't break his promise, and next Friday, he actually asked the principal to arrange a train to pick up these children who had to go back to the banquet.

Also because of this, classes were suspended for the entire afternoon on Friday, and although the number of students in Slytherin had never been too large, there were still quite a few when almost the entire house of students from the first to seventh years had to leave the school.

There was no Severus Snape in the group.

So these days his face is really gloomy, and even Lily touches his nose for fun and doesn't want to bother him.

He knew Tahlia was definitely on the invite list, and even though she hadn't given any indication that she'd be there, he just knew it.

Besides, with her friendship with Mr. Malfoy, there's no reason why she shouldn't be invited to their wedding reception, is there?

She had even been to Malfoy Manor several times.

My heart is actually very lost.

Even though Mr. Malfoy had corresponded with him for so long, even though he had expressed his interest in him outright, he still wasn't eligible to attend the wedding banquet.

If it continues like this, when will he reach the height he hopes for?

Unconsciously, I blame Tahlia...

If she was willing to recommend it for herself, he would definitely be able to attend the banquet now, but she just refused, damn it, why didn't she refuse?

Now he was full of resentment towards Tahlia.

Every time he saw those Slytherin students - no matter whether they were senior or junior - around her, they made obsequious faces around her, which made him more envious.

Why on earth could she obtain all this so easily?And he is still struggling at the bottom?

Since when did those Slytherins look at Tahlia in awe, the contempt has long since disappeared, and they only treat themselves, even though they don't know why they never do anything to themselves, but their eyes can't lie, he knows them Always look down on yourself.

He obviously started much earlier than Tahlia, but now he can't even see her back.

Sure enough, he shouldn't have let himself too much back then, if he hadn't indulged in that peaceful feeling at that time, it must be very different now, yes, he did something wrong then──

And it's all her fault.

Presumably at that time, she had already thrown herself away and strode forward, but at that time he was stupidly standing still.

He couldn't help but wonder what was the reason and purpose of her pestering him in the first place—was it because of his potion? Tahlia's potion was only a little better than ordinary people's. Maybe she hoped to use her potion ability to attract that person's attention because of her lack of self-knowledge.

So when he pointed out the potion problem when she communicated with that person, in fact, she took the credit alone──

Clenched fist.

He understands deeply now.

Tahlia Watson is nothing but a selfish girl.
