[HP] Can you be gentle with me

"I miss you so much."

Tahlia let Sirius hold her in a daze, she really shouldn't have pushed her away at a time like this, because she knew exactly how he felt, because she felt the same way when she met Snape not long ago, despite that At that time, she acted like she had no emotion at all.

"Sorry, Sirius──I know I promised to come to you..." Finally, she could only whisper this sentence.

Sirius just continued to maintain the gesture of hugging without saying anything.

After a while, he let go of Tahlia, and slowly backed away, with a bright smile on his face, as if the trembling words just now had never happened. "Long time no see," he said.

Tahlia nodded with a smile. "Well, long time no see."

Then no one spoke again, sensing that the atmosphere had become very awkward, James coughed lightly. "I said, do we have to stand here and talk? I suddenly feel pain in my feet... Lily, did you buy me some painkillers?"

Lily handed the vials in the bag to James, and spoke as well. "You go to the living room first... I'll get some food, Sirius, I remember you said you wanted salmon steak today?" After getting Sirius' nod, he quickly pushed Tahlia and others into the living room, while he himself Walked into the kitchen and started to get busy.

"So, why do you want to come over today?" James sat on the sofa, tilted his head up and downed a bottle of potion, then cleared his throat, and spoke first instead of his good brother. "Actually, you can tell us first, Lily will definitely prepare a lot of delicious things──I said, Tahlia, Lily's cooking is really delicious! Her fried steak is definitely the most delicious in the world, and There are those scrambled eggs..."

"Oh, enough of you, Prongs." Sirius rolled his eyes. "Why don't you tell me what dish Lily is not good at?"

"There's absolutely nothing like that," James replied seriously.

Tahlia couldn't help laughing again.It was only then that James realized that he had seriously strayed off topic, so he quickly stopped and asked again. "Ahem, did you run into each other on the road?"

"No." Tahlia shook her head, glanced in the direction of the kitchen, ready to stop James from rushing out impulsively shouting for revenge, and slowly told what happened.

Sure enough, as Tahlia narrated more, James' eyes widened and his fists were clenched tightly. Finally, he couldn't help it anymore, and jumped up from the sofa, ignoring the sudden throbbing pain in his legs, and pulled out The wand was about to rush out, and Sirius at the side had no time to react. Fortunately, Tahlia was already mentally prepared, and threw a petrification spell over.

With a bang, James fell to the ground, stiff all over.

"Merlin, James!" Lily, who was led out of the kitchen by the commotion, saw her husband lying on the ground at a glance, Sirius with a look of astonishment and Tahlia calmly holding her wand. "What's the matter?" Tahlia asked Tahlia as he pulled out his wand to lift James up from the spell.

"I think this new excellent Auror forgot that he was alone, and wanted to rush out and fight those Death Eaters just now..." Tahlia put away her wand and said slowly.

Lily immediately let go of the hand that was holding James angrily, causing him to fall back to the ground due to the sudden loss of support. "Oh, Lily!"

"When will you get rid of your impulsiveness?" Lily grabbed James' ear. "I thought you promised that you wouldn't provoke so many Death Eaters by yourself? What's more, you were all injured..."

James muttered aggrievedly. "Who told them to attack you just now..."

Lily froze for a moment, and let go of James' hand.

Because of the surprise of seeing Tahlia, she almost forgot that she was almost attacked just now...

"...Sorry, James, I was so careless..." she whispered. "If Tahlia hadn't shown up just in time, I'd—"

James responded by hugging Lily tightly, and instantly felt like the situation just now happened again, except that the male and female protagonists were replaced.

Tahlia coughed lightly, and the two who had almost forgotten that there were outsiders were let go of each other.

"Thank you, Tahlia." James said, rubbing his head awkwardly. "It seems like you're always helping us—"

Tahlia smiles. "You guys also helped me a lot, really." Then, facing the confused expressions of several people, he spoke again. "I am really happy to get along with you, and I should thank you."

Yes, the current atmosphere made her instantly feel like she didn't have to worry about anything when she returned to school. Although she also had a lot of troubles in the last few years of school, it was still incomparable compared to now.

The atmosphere at dinner was very harmonious, mainly listening to James happily talking about all the things after marriage, and then talking about some interesting things about their previous honeymoon trip, basically James, who has never been in contact with the Muggle world For example, when I got on the plane for the first time, I complained loudly that I still prefer the feeling of flying broomsticks, but the people next to me looked at me with crazy eyes, which made Lily want to dig a hole to hide. Pretend it's not your husband.

Throughout dinner, Tahlia barely stopped laughing.

It's been a long time.

It's been a long time since I laughed like this.

James even took out the postcards that Remus sent from all over the world, and Tahlia almost burst into tears after reading them—on each postcard, there was a note asking them to say hello to him for him, and he didn't write her name clearly. The name, but you can tell it at a glance, this is indeed very similar to the approach that the delicate-minded Remus would take, unlike the two men present here-the body always runs faster than the brain...

"By the way, what happened to your wedding invitation last time?" She couldn't help complaining. "Do you think my life with Voldemort wasn't exciting enough?"

"James insisted, I told him!" Sirius immediately betrayed his brother and stepped aside.

James gritted his teeth and looked at Sirius who had ducked aside.

He shouldn't have written that invitation for his best friend just because he missed Tahlia every day!It's still sold now...

Tahlia didn't say any more complaining words, she just sighed, and then spoke. "In short, don't do this again next time..." No matter which party it is for, the impact is negative. "Would it be difficult for you to invite me? After all, I'm definitely at the top of your Auror's focus list..." She raised her head and stared straight at James.

James and Sirius looked at each other, then nodded silently.

Not only is it ranked very high, it is number one at all, even surpassing Malfoy and Sirius's cousin Bella Lestrange, considering the recent incidents that are almost 100% certain to be caused by Tahlia but lack of evidence-in fact, it is not difficult to judge , look at the technique, basically as long as Auror Fang is completely destroyed, then that's it.And the reason that Voldemort guy wasn't on the list was that no one had ever seen him appear... so it's useless to be on the list.

However, it is also worth mentioning that even though they would have lost as long as Tahlia made a move, that battle would have had the least number of deaths. Most Aurors were just knocked out, not dead, which has always been the case One of the hotly discussed topics among colleagues.

Only James and the two of them knew the reason, or there were a few other people, but they didn't know.

All in all, the list is just a list, not a wanted warrant.

It means that even though they are 100% sure that someone did this, as long as they can't produce evidence, they won't be able to catch that person, especially when this group of people happens to be all so-called high-status people. It's even harder.

Although Tahlia didn't have any prominent family background, she was a curse-breaker, and the Ministry of Magic didn't have the guts to go to the goblin dignitary without evidence.

Although they don't want to admit it, they have nothing to do with those Death Eaters at the moment, they can only rely on sporadic leaked information to stop them—they know that it is the information leaked by Tahlia, sometimes they will succeed, and sometimes they will lose. Step on muddleheaded.

This is definitely completely different from the situation they had imagined when they were handsome against the dark wizard.

Seeing the two of them who became a little frustrated in an instant, Lily couldn't bear it anymore. She had seen her husband's hard work this year. In fact, even if James didn't complain to her, she was in St. Gorey has treated so many Aurors, and it can be inferred that the current situation is indeed very, very unfavorable to them.

Even, people's confidence in Auror and the Ministry of Magic has begun to shake, and some people have even defected. She was afraid in her heart, afraid that one day she would face James' cold body without breathing when she returned home.

"Not for long," Tahlia said suddenly.

Everyone looked at her suspiciously.

"I know it's looking bad right now - but trust me." She smiled. "Voldemort will pay the price sooner or later, he will definitely pay the price." As he spoke, he stood up.

"Are you leaving?" Sirius asked, his tone revealing deep disappointment.Time passed so fast, in fact, he felt he could never get enough with Tahlia, they hadn't seen each other for over a year, they had a short dinner together, and she was leaving again.

It's not like Tahlia didn't notice his disappointment, but she's been around long enough—nodding. "I have to go," she said. "But I will come here from time to time──" Stopped Sirius who was about to open his mouth to say something. "I won't break my promise this time, you can rest assured—" She smiled again. "I cherish you all, really..."

Sirius could only nod blankly, watching Tahlia say goodbye to them again, drink the potion and change into another form, walk out the door and apparate.

It's always the case.

The attention Tahlia gave him was never the kind he wanted the most, and the kind of attention he wanted was the kind of attention he couldn't force.

Could it be that he really should give up?

"Padfoot, are you okay?" James sat across from him with concern on his face. "I think Tahlia will one day—"

"No, she won't." Sirius smiled wryly. "I know she won't—otherwise she would have agreed a long time ago, so how could she still not express it at all..."

James couldn't say a word of rebuttal, Sirius was damn right.

If Tahlia really had that kind of meaning for Sirius, she wouldn't just treat him as an ordinary friend now.

But why?

"I don't understand, Prongs." Sirius held his head in frustration, and it was more a whisper than a question to James. "Why did I try so hard, but she still didn't like me?" He suddenly raised his head and stared at James.

"She likes you, Sirius──" Lily suddenly joined their conversation, holding several teacups on the table. "But not that kind of liking—"

"I know, it's the liking of a friend." Sirius answered sullenly. "I just don't get it."

Lily shook her head. "So you boys really don't understand what our girls are thinking..." He said, looking at James with contempt. "Otherwise someone wouldn't be so naive at the beginning."

James, who was insinuated, retreated into the sofa, not daring to say a word.

"So what exactly is she thinking?" Sirius looked at Lily, it could be said that he now had all his hopes on her.

Lily looked at the two men with blank faces angrily, and sat down too.

"I said, none of you can tell, does Tahlia like Severus?"
