[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Tahlia's sight was covered by the hat, so she couldn't see what was going on off stage.

"Let me see..." A thin voice sounded in my head. "I can tell you're smart and hardworking... you're obviously a Ravenclaw... wait, I see your motivation for studying... well, is it to impress others... I think you really want to be recognized... ..."

Tahlia heard the voice muttering, but it didn't seem like she had made up her mind.

"...well... I'll have to think about it for a while... You do have the qualities of a Ravenclaw...I see, go to Slytherin..."

"What?" Tahlia thought, a little surprised.Didn't you just hear that she has the qualities of a Ravenclaw?Or was the hat's thinking too leaping for her to keep up?

"Why are you surprised? Child...I saw you who worked hard, but I also saw that you were eager to prove yourself to others, and eager to become stronger. Ravenclaw is good, but Slytherin is absolutely It is more suitable for you who have a goal..."

"Is that so..." Although she still couldn't understand the thinking logic of the hat, it did give Slytherin an answer that was more suitable for her. So she hoped that others would agree. "...Then, let's do as you said, thank you."

"Okay...then..." the hat shouted. "Slytherin!"

The hat was picked up, Tahlia was about to smile at Sirius in the audience, but saw his dumbfounded expression, not only him, James also had an expression of disbelief, what happened?Why do they look at themselves with something wrong, but it's just that they haven't been assigned to Ravenclaw, isn't it?Or did they think she was a bad person because she was sorted into Slytherin? Tahlia walked towards the long table in Slytherin with some trepidation, sat down tremblingly, her expression was full of anxiety, she kept looking at Sirius who had not been sorted, observing his expression.

Sirius looked at Tahlia who walked towards the long Slytherin table and sat down in disbelief. He didn't expect that Tahlia, who was Muggle-born, would be assigned to Slytherin. Any school could do it, but why did they discriminate against Slytherin who were Muggle-born the most?Besides, didn't Slytherin not accept Muggle-born students?No, it doesn't seem like it's really confirmed that Slytherin doesn't accept Muggle-borns, it's just because there's probably never been a Muggle-born in Slytherin, maybe there have been Muggle-borns in history? Sirius' mind was in a mess right now, most importantly, looking at Tahlia's expression, he probably didn't know what kind of predicament she was going to face.He cast a questioning look at James anxiously.

James was also shocked. He didn't expect Tahlia to go to Slytherin, and he even forgot to continue to court Lily. Facing Sirius' look, James thought for a while. Anyway, almost all of the Black family went to Slytherin, so Sirius might also Will you go?He glanced at Sirius, then pointed his chin slightly in the direction of the Slytherin table.

Sirius instantly understood that if he entered Slytherin, he would be able to use his family advantage to somewhat stop some people who troubled Tahlia. Sirius, who had made up his mind, stepped forward resolutely after being called by his name.

It has to be said that apart from a person's natural personality, family education also has a great influence on a person's characteristics. Although Sirius is rebellious by nature, he has also learned and got used to the Slytherin way of thinking under the education of the Black family. The Black family was the root cause of all Slytherins.

So when the hat was put on Sirius's head, a unilateral and tough conversation with Sirius unfolded in his mind.

Sirius felt helpless, it was exhausting to think in Slytherin ways, but not doing so wouldn't stop the Sorting Hat from sorting him to Slytherin. "Sir...you just put me in Slytherin..." he thought in his head. "I have a reason to go..."

"But I can see the uninhibited and unrestrained Gryffindor in your heart... Slytherin is too depressing for you..."

"I've been like this since I was born, so you don't have to worry about it. Believe me, I have enough means to make you agree..."

"...Are you threatening me?"

"No," Sirius thought. "But I definitely have to go to Slytherin."

"...Is it true that every Black has a madness in his bones... Well, since you are so persistent..." The hat seemed to have given up on continuing to argue with Sirius, so it shouted loudly. "Slytherin!"

Sirius gracefully took off his hat and handed it back to McGonagall, and sat down beside Tahlia. "Hi!" he said.

Hearing that Sirius was in the same academy as her and greeted her, the big stone in Tahlia's heart was relieved. "Sirius!" She was obviously very happy that Sirius was also in the same house as her. Of course, the happiest thing was that Snape was here too. Although the conversation in the corridor just ended badly, they were divided into Slytherin after all, and they said that they would be together in the future. Continue to be a classmate for 7 years.Although it was a pity that James couldn't come together—James said that he wouldn't want to come if he killed him—but she was already very satisfied, and Tahlia, who was so happy, didn't notice Sirius' serious expression after greeting her.

"Sirius, not bad." A girl suddenly appeared and patted Sirius on the shoulder. "I was expecting you to surprise me."

"Andromeda." Sirius responded flatly.

"You impolite brat, don't you even call out your sister?" Andromeda patted Sirius on the back vigorously.

"Cousin!" Sirius shouted hastily.

"Sister, pay attention to your image." The blond girl not far away said, sitting next to her was a boy with long platinum hair.

Sirius nodded at the blond girl. "Narcissa."

Tahlia pulled Sirius's clothes slightly, and asked in a low voice. "Are they your cousins?"

Sirius nodded with a stiff expression.

But the small interaction between the two caught Andromeda's attention. "Who is this……?"

"Tahlia Watson, hello." Tahlia smiled and held out a hand. "You are Sirius' cousin, nice to meet you."

It's over! Sirius cried out inwardly.Originally, he wanted to hide it for as long as he could, but Tahlia declared his name, and now everyone will be interested in his background.

Sure enough, the people around narrowed their eyes slightly, but Andromeda reached out to hold Tahlia's outstretched hand. "Watson? The one with the restaurant in Diagon Alley?"

Tahlia was about to answer, but Sirius had no time to stop when there was a clear knock on the glass.

Sirius suddenly thanked Dumbledore very much, because Andromeda sat back quickly in her own seat after seeing Dumbledore stand up, much to Sirius' relief.

"Never say you're Muggle-born," Sirius whispered to Tahlia.

"Welcome, I would like to say a few words before our dinner party begins..." Before Tahlia could respond to Sirius, Dumbledore began to speak. Tahlia clearly saw the classmates rolling their eyes indecently. "Roll and jump, everyone! Dragon shit!" After speaking, he sat down immediately.

"What?" Tahlia asked blankly.

"Forget it," Sirius said. "I heard that he does this every year..." He had already taken some chicken legs that had suddenly appeared on the big plate and put them on his own plate. "...crazy."

Remembering the strange color scheme of Dumbledore's robes for the first time, Tahlia agreed with Sirius' words and reached for some stew as well.

Tahlia was very stuffed at dinner, because few of her classmates spoke, unlike the long and noisy Gryffinfor table in the distance, she saw James almost jumping on the chair when he talked about excitement, which made Lily and Remus beside him laugh out loud.

Whenever Tahlia wanted to say something, she would be stopped by Sirius' eyes. She could only keep adding food to the plate silently. When she realized that she had filled too much, it was too late, and she looked at the person who was sitting quietly eating at the corner of the table. Snape, remembering that he told him not to waste food, stuffed all the food into his stomach in a fit of anger, and then felt that the food in his stomach was full of food and seemed to burst out at any time.

After everyone ate and drank enough, Dumbledore got up and ordered the prefects of each college to take the students of their own colleges back to their respective lounges. As soon as he finished speaking, the platinum-haired long-haired girl sitting next to the girl whom Sirius called Narcissa The boy stood up and said in a lazy tone. "First graders come with me, I'm the prefect."

Several first-year freshmen including Tahlia and Sirius stood up obediently, followed behind the platinum long-haired boy, walked out of the hall slowly, and walked down the stairs all the way. Tahlia felt that they should have reached a very deep place .

They were brought to a stone wall, and the platinum long-haired boy spoke again in the same tone. "A correct password is required to enter the lounge, otherwise the door will not be opened no matter what method is used." He stood in front of the wall and said clearly. "noble."

A door appeared in the center of the stone wall, and the freshmen followed the platinum long-haired boys into it. There was a large stone fireplace inside, and there were quite a few tables scattered around. There was a faint green light from the window, like a living room. Next to it was the bottom of the lake, and Tahlia swore she had just seen a vague black figure pass by.

"I'm Lucius Malfoy, feel free to ask me any questions you have, though," he paused. "I hope it's not some stupid question...Our dean is Horace Slughorn, he teaches Potions, you can ask him if you have any difficulties." He ordered the girls among the new students to come forward. "I'll take you to your room first, the boy will wait for me here for a while."

"See you tomorrow," Tahlia said to Sirius, and followed Lucuis.

They seemed to go down another flight or two of stairs, and finally, Lucius said, pointing to a hallway to the right. "The one with your name on it is your room, and all your luggage has been brought in. This is your class schedule for this semester." He gave each of them a copy. "I hope you can show up in the lounge on time at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and I will take you to the lobby for meals and classes, understand?"

Tahlia and the girls nodded.

Lucius turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly he seemed to remember something again, and said back. "Remember that you can come to me if you have any questions." However, the tone sounded like he didn't want them to disturb him with any questions, and then he left.

Tahlia and the girls looked at each other for a while, then walked down the hallway.

Tahlia found her name on the second door on the right, along with another girl's name on the sign.

"It seems that I have a room with you." The girl who followed from behind said, pushed the door first and walked in. "My name is Flora Greengrass, what about you?"

"Uh...Tahlia Watson." Tahlia replied, walking to the bed where her luggage was placed and sitting down. The bed was so soft that it sagged when she sat down. "Nice to meet you."

"Yeah." Flora responded, starting to organize her things.

Tahlia took out a small roll of parchment and a quill, dipped it in ink, and began to write a letter to her brothers. She wrote everything about meeting Sirius and James on the train, and said that they knew each other and lived in the same place. Lily from Cokeworth also told about meeting Snape, and by the way, complained sadly that Snape pretended not to know her, and finally wrote her own sorting result, saying that she was in the same college as Sirius Let the brothers not worry that it will be very strange.

Tahlia thought for a while, and added at the end of the letter that she was already thinking about her brothers, so she signed and planned to mail the letter tomorrow morning.
