[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Tahlia had no intention of following the students on the train back.

After all, she already had the Portkey that led directly to Malfoy Manor.

Can you have less contact with those Slytherin students and have fun?

But she had to arrive early, but she didn't know what the intention was, she wouldn't ask her to make something happen at Lucius' wedding banquet, right?

Forget it, in short, no matter what it is, she can only do it obediently.

Laughing self-deprecatingly in the mirror.

At this time, she was facing the mirror, planning to tie her hair up, thinking that she would not need to spend time tidying up when she set off tomorrow. Her hair has grown longer over the years, although she can usually let them hang loose, but it is obvious that It is inappropriate for the son to attend the wedding banquet.

"Let me help you." Flora suddenly appeared behind her.

Tahlia gave her a sideways glance, then dropped her hands to let her... best roommate do her hair.

She knew she didn't dare to mess with it casually.

Flora really didn't intend to mess with it casually. On the contrary, she tidied Tahlia's hair seriously, but it was not the reason she thought.

Although Tahlia said something that seemed threatening to Flora on the night she moved back, Flora found that Tahlia was not as scary as she imagined, but was kind to her instead. Putting aside the rumors outside, she Almost the perfect roommate.

Based on this, Flora gradually became more courageous, and began to talk to Tahlia. After several attempts and got Tahlia's response, she also started to talk more, and often began to tell her these things as soon as she returned to the dormitory. The whole day's knowledge, as well as the troubles of schoolwork.

Tahlia listened silently, did not show interest, but did not show impatience, so Flora took it as if she was not repulsed, and would talk for a while when she came back every day, and the one who benefited the most was It's a class problem.

No matter what learning difficulties she talked about, Tahlia would answer for her, and sometimes the examples she gave were much more impressive than those in the books. She felt that she would definitely get a very good result in the OWLs next June.

Maybe it was nice that she and Tahlia shared the same dorm.

It didn't take long for Tahlia's hair to be done.

There are no fancy decorations, just a simple ponytail tied up and fixed. Flora left a few strands scattered in the front without tying it up, so that it will not look very restrained, and it looks more natural.

"Thanks," Tahlia said, casting a little spell to keep her hair tangled for a while.

Flora shook her head. "It should be," she said. "As a reward for teaching me every night—"

Tahlia chuckled suddenly.

"What?" Flora asked suspiciously. It's rare for Tahlia to laugh out loud for no reason. It should be said that she hasn't seen it since the moment she moved out of this dormitory.

"Nothing..." He suppressed his smile.

It's just a reminder of the past, the phrase 'In exchange, I'll answer your potion questions──' and 'It's just each other. '

Yes, in the past──

...the past that can never go back──

"Tahlia, aren't you going?" Flora looked suspiciously at Tahlia, who had already done her hair but was sitting back at the desk, and asked.

Tahlia directly raised the badge in her hand in response.

"Oh..." Flora instantly understood that Tahlia would not take the train with them, but she was also surprised that her roommate even had the key to the door of Malfoy Manor, and it turned out to be the very important person.

I didn't ask any more questions at the moment, I sorted it out in the mirror again, said goodbye to Tahlia, and left the room.

After confirming that Flora was gone, Tahlia cast a dozen spells on the door, making sure no one could break in without her knowing, before pulling out Mr. Malfoy's diary.

Until now, she still feels very heartbroken when she sees this diary.

Carefully flipping through the pages of a diary filled with a father's love for his son, followed by regret and redress for his own mistakes.

And, the strong desire that the person who got this diary can help Lucius.

──help Lucius, she thought sarcastically.

Help Lucius who calculated himself from beginning to end.

sneer.

Can she do it?Putting aside his calculations against himself, help him regardless of previous suspicions?

This is the sticking point.

Tahlia read the book for a while, and then suddenly realized that it was almost dinner time, so she stood up, put the diary she had just taken out back in the drawer, locked it, and cast a protective spell.

After confirming that everything was well protected, she put on the school robe and stepped out of the dormitory.

As soon as he entered the living room, he heard a voice behind him. "You didn't go?" It sounded full of surprise.

Slowly turned around and stared at him.

"I didn't know you cared about where I was, Severus." She smirked.

Snape scowled for a moment. "Of course I'm not interested."

"I guess so," Tahlia said, turning around. "I never said I wasn't going." There was a pause. "After all, it's such a great opportunity to get in touch with so many pure-blood families, and even meet that adult, it's a pity that you can't participate—" After finishing speaking, she knew that Snape must be very angry, but she couldn't Restrain yourself, these words were spoken by her.

Sure enough, following the sound of chanting a mantra, a mantra flew towards her, and she dodged sideways.

sneered.

"I think I hit your point of view?" She said, seeing the expression on Snape's face, she felt her heart was being torn so hard that it was almost split in two, but she kept her face calm. "You haven't even tried the silent spell, and you still expect to be able to sneak attack me, Severus?" She deliberately ignored her heartbroken emotions, she said sarcastically. "If you want me to say, even with your ability, that lord can't even take a look at you—"

she hoped.

She hoped that he could at least protect herself well. She was really afraid that one day she would be too late or powerless to stand in front of her. She couldn't predict the day when Voldemort would lose interest in her. At that time, she would lose her life. How should she continue? protect them?

"You've always heard of the Silent Curse, right?" The corners of Tahlia's mouth curled up, in stark contrast to Snape's resentful expression. "Perhaps I should show you?" He said, drawing his wand, but backed away after seeing the hostility in Snape's eyes.

Sure enough, she still couldn't do it, she couldn't be his enemy.

Sighed. "Forget it, why should I waste my time here..." she whispered, not surprised to see that Snape's face darkened a lot.

Turn around and step out of the living room.

The moment the door closed, the sound of it being hit by a spell was clearly heard.

Tahlia was sad, but smiled.

Maybe this is a good way--

If this can keep them alive in peace, then let them hate themselves to death.

After finishing dinner peacefully, and walking back to the dormitory calmly, Lucius and their wedding banquet is at noon tomorrow, so it means that she has to show up at Malfoy Manor in the morning after breakfast, to meet the man, hoping to Her Occlumency Technique is at least somewhat effective. It seems that she has indeed become abnormally able to control her emotions, at least to the point of indifference. Perhaps this is also one of the benefits?

The appearance of himself in the hall just now seems to have caused quite a discussion.

After all, the whole school thought she had left on the train with the group of Slytherins.

The Slytherin table was scattered and only a few students were sitting, including Sirius Black of course.

He once again showed the spirit of resisting to the end, and he just refused to go home with Regulus. Presumably the Black couple would be angry for a while, but Tahlia would never have any sympathy for them.

Sirius was also stunned for a moment when he saw Tahlia, but then he remembered that she had the same key to the Malfoy Manor as his father, and there was no need for her to take the same troublesome train as the group of students to attend the wedding banquet.

Compared with Slytherin, the number of absent students in other colleges is much smaller, almost none. Even James told his family that he didn't plan to go back on the grounds that he had to prepare for the exam.

Besides, they have important things to do this weekend.

It was a very, very important event, and it could be said that it was a great pioneering work in the history of the school, and none of them wanted to be absent.

Thinking of his mother's angry appearance, Sirius was complacent, he just didn't bother to abandon his friends to participate in this kind of meaningless entertainment.

It can be said that, except for Regulus, everything in the house makes him feel sick.

He hates that.

What kind of pure-blood theory, what kind of nobility of Black, what kind of brilliant achievements, what kind of excellence in black magic... It's just bullshit.

So he still can't accept it until now.

How did Tahlia get involved with these things he hated so much?Not only was it involved, but she jumped directly to their center of power without knowing it...

But he didn't have a chance to ask him clearly—it should be said that Tahlia didn't give himself a chance at all, since the last incident.

But not this time.

Sirius thought confidently, those Slytherins were blocking him before, but now they are gone.

So, as soon as Tahlia left the hall, he rushed out under the encouraging eyes of James and others.

Tahlia sensed Sirius following her from the very beginning, so she cast the Disillusionment Charm and dodged into a classroom to stay still.

The advantage of the illusion spell is that as long as it is in a static state, it will hardly be noticed by others. It is equivalent to painting a natural protective color on the body and blending with the scenery.

Of course, Sirius immediately lost Tahlia and stood in the middle of the corridor annoyed, feeling extremely sad in his heart.

He felt that Tahlia seemed to be getting further and further away from them—

But what made him even more uncomfortable was that he was the one who pushed her away at the beginning.

Tahlia looked at the lonely Sirius standing in the middle of the corridor, and instantly felt the urge to go up to him and have a good talk with him, but she shouldn't, shouldn't let them get involved in these wrong things.

So she held back abruptly.

It wasn't until Sirius finally left that Tahlia slowly walked out of the classroom where she was hiding.

It was different from Snape leaving her, even though Sirius' alienation would make her sad, but it was far less than the heartache when Snape misunderstood her, she felt very sorry for Sirius.

Sirius always silently supported her behind her back, and she couldn't even give anything back, and even did a lot of things that would disgust him.

She's not a good friend at all, is she?

With a wry smile.

So it's a good thing for Sirius and the others to stay away from him.

As soon as breakfast was over the next day, Tahlia activated the Portkey without even having to step outside the school, as if the Portkey wasn't within the castle's inability to apparate.

There was no one in the hall where she arrived. This is the hall she had been to a long time ago, and the walls were covered with portraits, but this time they didn't whisper to themselves anymore. Obviously they were very excited today, probably It's because of the wedding banquet.

"Where's Lucius?" she asked one of the portraits.

"Where else?" the person in the portrait replied. "Today is a big day—"

"Of course I know today is a big day." Tahlia said with a headache. "Otherwise I wouldn't be here."

"You're early, girl." Another figure in the portrait frowned. "As a guest, it's impolite to arrive too early."

"That's because she has to be early."

Lucius's slow voice came suddenly, the door of the room had been opened at this moment, and Lucius was already dressed for the wedding banquet later.

He was wearing a pure white wizard robe, decorated with golden silk thread, which echoed perfectly with his blond hair that shone in the sun.

Truly a spirit.

Tahlia thought.

But definitely the most calculating elf!

"Malfoy," she said with a perfect smile on her face.

Lucius frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

"Where is the Lord?"

"He's not coming, Tahlia—" Lucius said slowly.

Tahlia's doubts were not hidden for a moment.

The man didn't come, so why did he call himself—

"──I want to see you." Lucius said again.
