[HP] Can you be gentle with me

"I wanted to see you, Tahlia," Lucius said again.

"Why?" Tahlia smiled sarcastically. "Afraid I'll ruin your wedding?"

Lucius shook his head.

"I never thought about it that way," he said.

"Then what do you think?" Tahlia sneered. "Ah, I'm getting married today, let's call Tahlia, she still owes me a favor, maybe we can take this opportunity to ask her to do something for our children in the future?" There was a pause. "how do you feel?"

"Stop it." Lucius said dully. "I'm not going to—"

"You used to think that way," Tahlia pointed out mercilessly.

"I'm very sorry."

Tahlia froze.

"What did you say?" she asked uncertainly.

Lucius lowered his head and looked seriously at Tahlia, who was obviously many years younger than himself and only reached his chest—but he happened to get along very happily with him. Looking back now, the time with her in school was the only time he could get along with him. When she was completely relaxed and made friends, she was the only one who approached her without any calculations. "I'm sorry, Tahlia," he said. "I shouldn't have approached you with purpose in the first place—I..." He closed his eyes. "I miss our old friendship—"

"Did I hear you right?" Tahlia forced a smile to hide her unease. "The always noble Malfoy is apologizing to me?"

"Just because it's Malfoy," Lucius sat down slowly on the sofa, resting his hands casually on the armrests. "So you should know that my apology is absolutely sincere."

"Sincerely trying to plot against me again?" Tahlia asked coldly.

Although in her heart, she knew that Lucius' words were absolutely serious.

But she was really scared.

After falling into a trap once, will anyone dare to step into it again?

"If you think like that, there's nothing I can do about it, Tahlia." Lucius smiled weakly. "Actually, I don't have any hope that you will forgive me—"

"Why are you saying it now?" Tahlia asked. "We have been in contact so many times before, why did you decide to apologize to me until now—on your wedding day?"

"Because you're the only friend I'm comfortable with now," Lucius said wearily. "And on my wedding day, I would very much like to have your blessing."

"I'm not a very good friend," Tahlia said flatly.

Lucius stared straight at her. "That's not true."

"Of course it is true!" Tahlia said excitedly, but immediately calmed down. "I mean, as a friend, I'm definitely not qualified."

"No." Lucius denied. "You're definitely my friend Lucius Malfoy admits." He held up a hand. "Swear to Merlin."

Tahlia stared blankly at Lucius' gesture of swearing.

Then, she laughed.

"It's the Lord's order again?" She smirked. "Did he realize that I broke with my group of friends, and now he is going to use you to threaten me?"

"What?" Lucius' face was instantly filled with confusion, but almost at that moment, he finally understood──

──Understand how Tahlia agreed to work for the Lord in the first place, and, if he understood correctly──

"I think I understand." Lucius smiled, already certain of the outcome of this conversation in his heart. "If I heard correctly just now, you said that you still care about my friend, don't you?" There was a pause. "I think I should be happy. After all, what you mean is that the Lord's use of me to threaten you is also very effective, right?" As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up even more. "I'm glad you think so, Tahlia."

Tahlia's eyes widened involuntarily, the disguise shattered.

Damn Malfoy!

No, I should say damn myself!

She shouldn't have talked to Lucius too much, and it's not like she didn't know how well a Malfoy could deduce facts from details in human speech.

Cursing secretly in his heart, but the expression on his face quickly adjusted back to the original plain appearance.

She really cherishes Lucius as a friend, otherwise she would not always have the feeling of being betrayed and sad. If she didn't care about Lucius at all, she wouldn't be angry at his calculations at all, but now Lucius said it directly , frowning, staring straight at Lucius.

After making sure he wasn't flinching from his gaze at all, Tahlia simply gave up and rolled her eyes angrily.

"Are you sure you won't count on me again?" she asked.

Lucius nodded earnestly.

"Okay, you won—Merlin knows how I would agree..." She said helplessly. "So? What do you want me to do?" She raised her eyebrows. "It's not as simple as wanting my blessing that you miss our friendship?"

Lucius finally let go of the big stone in his heart.

These days, she will always miss Tahlia's concern for herself, not to say that she doesn't like Cici's concern, but the two are different, Cici is loving him, and Tahlia, Tahlia is sincere as a friend treat yourself──

He shouldn't give up this friendship so easily. What's more, Cici has been nagging him all day to apologize to Tahlia. Obviously, she really has a good impression of Tahlia.

He breathed a sigh of relief and showed a standard smile.

"You do know me, Tahlia—"

"Stop talking about such unimportant things, Lucius." Tahlia interrupted her impatiently. "I just can't stand the way your pure-blood family speaks in such a way."

Lucius was very satisfied with the fact that Tahlia changed his name again. If anyone told him before that he would miss this kind of interaction that Tahlia complained about, he would definitely say that person was crazy, but now it seems that he thinks Tahlia who thinks of him like this is really like a 15-year-old girl.

Feeling that their getting along has returned to the way it was before, Lucius is no longer so reserved about etiquette, and he no longer speaks in such a deliberate tone, opening his mouth. "I want you to be godmother to our kids, Tahlia."

silence.

Tahlia's eyes widened, and it took her a long time to find her voice. "You, you mean—Narcissa she—has—" So this wedding is...

"Oh, of course not! What are you thinking!" Lucius rolled his eyes in an inelegant manner. "Cici and I haven't..." He stopped the sentence abruptly. "Ahem, anyway, Cici is not pregnant."

"Oh, sorry, I misunderstood." Tahlia said awkwardly.

It can't be her fault, can it?Ordinary people designate godparents when they already have children, right?Besides... She just thought of this crucial question. "Why me? Wait..." Thinking of what Lucius said just now, he obviously recognized that he was his friend. "It should be asked, why do you want me to be the godmother of your child who hasn't even appeared?"

"If you are invited by others later, wouldn't our children have no godmother?"

"…" Tahlia was completely speechless. "It's not that I can't be your child's godmother if I become someone's godmother. Besides, if you mind in the future, why don't you help him find another one?"

"No." Lucius insisted. "No one but you can be godmother to my child, he deserves the best—"

A pang of soreness rushed into her chest, and Tahlia had to admit that she was touched by this sentence.

"Besides, you can only be my child's godmother, not anyone else—" Lucius said confidently. "Malfoy never shares."

Then as soon as Lucius uttered these words, Tahlia's heart full of emotion seemed to be poured with a bucket of water in an instant, and it was directly extinguished.

She gave Lucius a hard look.

"You know I'm not an item, right?" He said angrily. "I'm not your Malfoys' private property—"

She figured it out, as soon as a child was involved, Malfoy, who was usually calm and reserved, would instantly transform into a silly father mode. This must be a family tradition, right? Mr. Malfoy was the same, Lucius was the same, she even thought Lucius was more serious, he didn't even have a baby yet!

"So you agreed?" Still not missing the meaning of Tahlia's words, Lucius asked cautiously.

He rolled his eyes angrily. "What do you say?" Tahlia glared at him. "As long as you promise not to spoil your child to heaven, I promise you." With Lucius like this, she doesn't want her future godson to be a little bully──

"Of course!" Lucius quickly agreed, fearing that Tahlia would regret it the next second. "I will definitely do my best to push him to be the best Malfoy ever—"

Tahlia didn't speak.

She suddenly felt sorry for the unborn baby Malfoy.

At this moment, she felt much more relaxed.

Since it wasn't the man who asked her to come, and she had already forgiven the current Lucius, the wedding banquet obviously became much more interesting, and she was finally able to sincerely bless the couple who were about to get married.

Narcissa was obviously very excited when she saw Tahlia's arrival, and she hadn't seen this special elementary school girl for a long time.

Although there have been a lot of rumors about her recently, but today is a wedding, whoever mentions those things is a spoiler──

"Narcissa, you are so beautiful." Tahlia praised sincerely. At the moment she was in Narcissa's room. Of course Lucius couldn't come in, but there was no rule that guests couldn't see the bride before the wedding, right?

So with Lucius' request on his shoulders, Tahlia is here.What did he say then?It seems to be 'show you how perfect my future wife is'──

Though speechless, Tahlia had to admit it.

The only one who can stand beside Lucius is Narcissa.

Her and Lucius's dresses are obviously the same style, also pure white, embellished with gold embroidery thread, making the bride seem to be shining, such two people, maybe they will have a godson soon, Tahlia jokingly Thinking about it, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"What are you laughing at?" Narcissa asked with a smile.

But Tahlia coughed a few times in embarrassment. "It's okay, don't bother with me—" She picked up the hair accessories on the dressing table and gently fixed them for Narcissa. "Today is your wedding day, Narcissa."

Narcissa chuckled, and could tell she was really excited.

"It's great that you and Luc are reconciled—" she said.

"Who made up with him," Tahlia said with a laugh. "It's just to maintain a good relationship with the father of my future godson──"

Narcissa shook herself up, joy written all over her face. "So you agree?"

"There's no reason to turn your baby down, is there?" Tahlia smiled.

Narcissa had a very good relationship with her later, but she had less contact with her since she graduated, and a series of things happened later, and she didn't have time to visit her—not to mention that if she wanted to go to Nacissa, it would mean Going to Black's old house, not to mention the current conflict with Sirius, she has no intention of meeting the Black couple at all.

Maybe I can see her often in the future, and she will live in Malfoy Manor in the future, and I just have the special door key of Malfoy Manor.

Narcissa chuckled.

"You know, Luc's actually sad—" she began. "When you were estranged from him before, he had no vitality for a long time..."

Tahlia froze for a moment. "Is he really that sad?"

She never thought that Lucius also attached great importance to getting along with them. She had always thought that he could only chat with her at most.

Narcissa chuckled out loud. "Luc doesn't just choose our child's godmother, you have an influence on him that he didn't even realize—" There was a pause. "But I know—he only relaxes when he mentions you. For the first time, I know that Luc can have so many expressions on his face."

"I—"

"So I have to thank you, Tahlia," Narcissa said seriously. "You let him not live so tight."
