[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Snape moved first, swung his wand sharply, and threw a spell that was about to hit Sirius—

"Protego." Sirius murmured almost lazily, and the spell cast by Snape bounced away as if hitting an invisible barrier. "Is that all you can do? Snotluck?"

Snape just looked at Sirius coldly.

He didn't think that such a blow could make Black admit defeat, the key point was in the back──

"Damn it!" Sirius cursed, looking at the robes that were already on fire, he quickly said a spell, water spouted from the spell to extinguish the fire, raised his head, and glared at Snape. "You are cheating!"

Snape smirked. "I just fired two spells, I didn't expect that in your perception, this is deceit..."

Sirius responded with a straight spell back, making Snape dodge in embarrassment.

Another round of mutual shooting spells.

Tahlia's eyes are always on the two of them, so that she can intervene at any time when she loses control. It's not that she doesn't trust them, as if they will deliberately violate the rules, but she doesn't dare to overestimate the two of them facing each other. emotional control.

Forget about Sirius, usually he was always very hot, with all his emotions and anger written on his face, but even Snape would lose his usual calm, in front of James and the others, it was as if he had taken dynamite, ready to explode at any time.

Things got out of control.

Surprisingly, it wasn't Sirius and Snape's fault.

The dueling stage next door was Avery and Parkinson. These two people obviously didn't get along as well as they usually get along. This duel was fought with all their strength, and it probably had some meaning of fighting for power. After all, they were both in seventh grade, and in front of Tahlia Always vying for her attention.

The result of the collision of two equally powerful spells was a small explosion, which also spread to the dueling ring next door. The unsuspecting Snape and Sirius were both thrown several meters away and hit the wall heavily .

──Then he fell unconscious.

Tahlia's mouth twitched.

Unexpectedly, it was Avery and Avery who caused the trouble. Seeing the two of them looking at her anxiously, she couldn't express any blame at all. After all, she should thank them—after all, Snape and Sirius might be offended. It also saves her from worrying about who will win and who will lose.

I don't know that Tahlia didn't blame them at all at the moment. Avery and Parkinson looked at each other nervously. They both realized that they ruined Tahlia's event. At least a lot of students were affected this time, and probably many students will won without a fight──

I regret it now...

It would have been nice if they had been sparring at the beginning...

After Tahlia settled the affected students, she walked up to them, and the two stood up straight.

she smiles.

This move puzzled them.

"Avery, Parkinson," she said.

Even though the girl in front of them was only at the height of their shoulders, they still didn't dare to pose as seniors. They all knew that if Tahlia participated in this duel, they would have no time to cast any spells, and they would probably be lying on the side of the medical station in an instant... …

Silently waiting for Tahlia to speak again.

"The next time you use this kind of spell, it's best to consider whether it will affect the space you are in." She said, she didn't even mention her dissatisfaction with them at all, her tone was flat as if she was really guiding them . "You are lucky this time. If the explosion happened in a small space, neither of you would be as unscathed as you are now...I say this, can you understand?"

"Watson?" Avery asked hesitantly. "us……"

Tahlia cut him off straight away. "I'm not blaming you anyway," she said. "You are Slytherins, you should have thought about the consequences before doing anything, this time it will be your first mistake, but I don't want a second time..."

So, Tahlia doesn't blame them this time...

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Tahlia had already turned and left, to tell Crouch Jr. to continue announcing the game.

"This time we are tied, and next time we will definitely win..." Parkinson said in a low voice.

Avery nods. "Anyway, I won't lose to you."

In the end, because the two most promising players in Slytherin both abstained, the result was that the sixth grade Slytherin prefect won the championship, and James lost to a seventh grader in the third round. He used some excessive spells, and he lost in the championship game, so James was quite happy after waking up, thinking that he was just a little away from the championship, and excitedly told Remus that he would definitely come back next time a city.

Sirius and Snape, who regained consciousness, stared at each other viciously, regardless of the burn marks on their bodies, they wanted to take their wands and return to the dueling ring, but of course they were sternly yelled at by the busy Pomfrey up.

Snape silently hated Avery and Parkinson, whether they were his seniors or not... If it weren't for them, Black would be the only one lying here now...

He's researched quite a few practical little spells...although one hasn't worked out yet, but he's looking forward to how that spell will work on Black.

The duel meeting passed like this, and it was not too dull. After all, there was an explosion in a group of duels, but it was already more peaceful than Tahlia had originally imagined.

I couldn't help feeling grateful, luckily Sirius and Snape didn't fight till the end...

However, the end of the duel meeting means that something is coming──

The next morning, Tahlia arrived at Malfoy Manor, where Voldemort was already waiting, and there were many masked figures standing around.

"Tahlia, you're late." Voldemort said coldly.

Tahlia stepped forward and bowed. "I'm sorry, Lord...that old lunatic at breakfast suddenly babbled something..." A few snickers came from beside him.

Voldemort also chuckled. "Then there's nothing to be done, is there?" he said aloud, rising. "That's the only time Dumbledore can be proud, don't you think?"

All the figures are kneeling, and so is Tahlia.

"Lord, he's been really proud for a while..." Tahlia said.He, too, said something silently in his heart.

Satisfied, Voldemort sat back on his chair and held out his hand to Tahlia. "I think you have something to give me, Tahlia."

Tahlia stood up and carefully took out the detailed plan in her robe, including the list of students on this train.

After reading the list, Voldemort frowned. "Tahlia, what's going on?" he asked, and everyone could feel the atmosphere in the room becoming dangerous.

Tahlia spoke calmly. "Lord, you know, our Slytherin students have chosen to stay..."

"Don't try to fool me with that," Voldemort said coldly. "Slytherin students have always been few, and this list is too different."

"Lord," Tahlia said, still looking calm. "It seems that the list is missing, but if you look carefully... our primary targets are still on it..." she said. "We have no way of knowing why the rest of them suddenly chose to stay in school, but this does not affect our actions."

Voldemort looked carefully at the list again, and found that what Tahlia said was true. The children of the troublesome people he listed were all on it, and none of them was missing. Anyway, clearing the lineage was always just an excuse, but he still spoke. up. "The rest are staying in school suddenly, I don't think you can't handle it?"

Only then did Tahlia feel a little nervous and broke out in a cold sweat. "Lord, please forgive—" she said. "I think it has something to do with the duel meeting held by the school a few days ago..."

Voldemort didn't speak, waiting for her to explain, so she continued.

"In response to most of the Slytherins staying in school, I originally thought of letting them hold an activity during the vacation──I think it will help them get acquainted and do their best to do things for you in the future, Lord──" Sensing Voldemort Feeling a little relaxed, Tahlia was also slightly relieved. "But all such activity has to be reported to Dumbledore..."

"Let me guess, so he said that this type of activity should be extended to the whole school, am I right?" Voldemort said coldly.

"Nothing is hidden from you, Lord." Tahlia bowed her head. "So, after the announcement was posted...some students decided to stay on campus to watch the game—I'm so sorry, Lord."

Voldemort looked at Tahlia who lowered his head indifferently, but he hated Dumbledore even more in his heart, so this time it was the old lunatic's sudden madness that caused his plan to change.

"I think you'll have to consult with me before you do anything in the future, Tahlia," he said. "Since you have good intentions in organizing this event, I think I don't mind your unauthorized actions this time──" He paused. "But there will never be a next time."

Tahlia kept her head down. "Thank you, Lord."

It seems that they didn't expect Tahlia to be forgiven so easily. The people on the side were very surprised. If they did such an unauthorized thing, the pain waiting for them would be light...

Is it because she is special?

"You seem to have a lot of opinions on this?" Voldemort's voice floated faintly, and several kneeling figures trembled unconsciously for a while. "The Dark Lord is always kind, don't you know it?" No one dared to answer, but Voldemort didn't intend to make them answer, turning back to the girl standing in front of him.

"Tahlia."

"Yes."

"Go down and get ready, Lucius will assist you—" he said slowly, in an unusually soft tone. "I'm looking forward to your performance this time, Tahlia..."

Tahlia trembled slightly, but her tone was very calm. "I won't let you down, Lord──"

In the following days, Tahlia had a miserable life.

She had to face the fact that Voldemort was also in this manor early in the morning, even though the man didn't always stay here, but because she didn't know if he would come back here suddenly, she and Lucius could be said to be cautious in everything they did- ─

Lucius didn't know about the attack. It should be said that the only ones who knew about the attack were the people in that room at the time, but Bella was definitely there. Her iconic laugh completely revealed her identity...

But Voldemort still wanted him to help her, she really couldn't think of what he could help her, and it didn't mean that he could also get on that train...

Perhaps he wanted to test Lucius' loyalty? Tahlia sneered, she really doesn't trust anyone, such a superior person can't last long...

But he wants to test, so let him do it - Tahlia believes that Lucius will pass the test.

"You know the Lord is planning an operation, right?" They were in the study right now, and since Tahlia found Abraxas' diary last time, they had restored all the furnishings to their original state, and even Voldemort himself would not have noticed the abnormality.

Lucius froze for a moment, but answered reflexively. "Don't tell me."

standard answer.

"Of course I won't tell you." Tahlia rolled her eyes. "But he wants you to help me..."

"I don't even know about this move…" Lucius said blankly. "How can I help you—oh!" The meeting's eyes widened. "Tahlia──" Was he defeated by this girl just now?

"Shh..." Tahlia leaned back in the chair, picked up a book and flipped through it casually, and then continued to speak in a relaxed tone. "If I knew, would I still ask you?" she said. "I really can't think of any assistance you can provide..." As he spoke, he gave Lucius a contemptuous look.

"You're making it sound like I'm useless..." Lucius said displeased. "Anyway, I have also completed many tasks given by the Lord..."

"For example, spreading rumors that I'm working for the Lord──"

Lucius' face suddenly lost all color, and he stared blankly at Tahlia. "you……"

"Yes, I guessed it a long time ago──" Tahlia said nonchalantly, and continued to flip the book. "It's not hard to guess, is it? Considering the time, and your weird attitude these days..." He didn't look up. "But I forgive you, Lucius—"

"It's easy for you to say..."

"Otherwise do you think I'll accept your apology without reason?" Tahlia frowned. "If you don't make me feel that you are serious, I have no intention of talking to you for the first half of the sentence..."

"That being said..." Lucius forced a smile. "But you really don't blame me?"

"Of course it's your fault." Tahlia rolled her eyes. "But everything is in the past, I decided not to care about your past, so you are not satisfied?"

"No, that's enough──" Lucius raised the corner of his mouth weakly. "I'm touched, really."

"Come on," Tahlia said, finally looking up and smiling.

"Isn't that what friends are supposed to be like?"
