[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Before seeing anyone, the spell came first, and Tahlia was disarmed by Sirius for the first time in her life...

"Tahlia?" Sirius looked at Tahlia in astonishment and stared blankly at himself, then at Tahlia's wand lying pitifully on the floor not far away, and then looked at his hand in disbelief...

"Uh...sorry—" With that, he stepped forward awkwardly, picked up the wand and handed it back to Tahlia. "I didn't know it was you..."

"It's okay." Tahlia took the wand and said dryly.

Then both fell silent.

The atmosphere in the room was so sad that people could not breathe, Sirius looked at the mess in the room with blank eyes, and couldn't believe that everything happened so suddenly.

Originally, Lily planned to prepare a sumptuous Halloween dinner tonight, but when he arrived at Godric's Hollow, he felt something was wrong from afar──

And then there's this heartbreaking scene.

"Is he dead?" Sirius looked at the lying man on the ground and asked angrily.He wished he could tear this body into pieces, but so what? James won't be alive either...

That's the problem.

Sirius didn't know about the Horcruxes, Voldemort's Horcruxes were still there, he was definitely not dead, just disappeared temporarily.

Even so, Tahlia did not dare to tell him directly and with certainty that Voldemort was definitely not dead.

"I don't know." She said softly. "I think—"

The sudden dazzling light at the door made everyone in the room unable to see clearly for a moment, and in the next second, Sirius fell heavily on the wall behind him, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Tahlia didn't care that she still couldn't see the person coming, and cast a series of spells directly, but to his horror, those spells didn't hit the person at all, and many images flashed in his mind——Voldemort had already changed The picture of the secondary body turning around and attacking...

"Who is it?" she asked tremblingly.

Then the light disappeared.

Dumbledore stood straight at the door, looking at Sirius with complicated eyes, and Tahlia immediately understood why.

"He's not a Keeper," she said.Seeing the surprise on the old man's face, he continued. "Peter is." A look stopped Sirius from rushing out to seek revenge on him because he suddenly remembered that Peter was the Keeper of the Secret, regardless of being knocked down just now.

"Is this true?" Dumbledore spoke after a while, his voice unusually hoarse.

Tahlia nodded, and pulled Harry slightly forward in her arms for Dumbledore to look at.

"Harry is alive?" He also seemed confused, glimpsed Voldemort lying on the ground, the first time Tahlia saw the disgust in the old man's eyes. "Let me see." Then he saw the gash on little Harry's forehead. "This is?" he asked, slowly drawing his wand.

"When I arrived, Voldemort was lying there, only Harry was still alive, but with this wound on his forehead," Tahlia said.

Dumbledore bent slightly and carefully examined the wound on Harry's forehead. It took a long time, and finally, he raised his head and spoke with a serious face. "This is the wound caused by Avada Kedavra."

Sirius exclaimed. "How is that possible!" Regardless of just coughing up blood, he rushed forward excitedly. "The Killing Curse won't cause any wounds!" Besides, what the headmaster meant...was Harry hit by Avada?

So how is he still alive?

"It does have traces of the Killing Curse—" Dumbledore frowned. "But for reasons I don't know, the spell bounced back... Maybe, that's why Voldemort... fell here—"

For reasons not even Dumbledore knew about...

"So, you mean, after Voldemort killed Lily, he was about to kill Harry when he was killed by a spell cast by himself?" Tahlia asked softly.

Dumbledore nodded slowly, even if he wasn't so sure.

Avada Kedavra, so far without any cure or blockability, bounced off a baby - which doesn't explain it anyway...

The problem shouldn't be Voldemort, otherwise James and Lily wouldn't have died either.

Voldemort killed James, then Lily... so far everything went smoothly, but he couldn't kill Harry, so something must have gone wrong after Lily's death.

"Why, Albus?" Tahlia asked again.

Dumbledore thought for a while, and finally, whispered. "I think Lily protected Harry—"

"But Lily's already..." Sirius blurted out, but couldn't continue to say that Lily was dead.

"Yes, Lily is dead," Dumbledore said calmly. "That's why Harry's alive, boy."

"I don't understand."

"You mean, what did Lily do before she died?" Tahlia said without raising her head, just staring straight at the little black-haired baby in her arms. He had stopped crying, but his eyes were still filled with tears , A few drops will be squeezed out and slid down the cheeks every blink. "Whatever that was, whatever theory you were using, Harry survived."

It felt weird, the man I wanted to kill so easily was defeated by a baby who didn't know anything, people who didn't know would probably think that this boy was really born to be able to defeat Voldemort.

"That's enough." She said, hugging Harry before leaving.

"Where are you going?" Sirius stopped her.

"go home."

Sirius stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.

This is not right.

James and the others are all dead, and Tahlia only said to go home...

"I'll take care of Harry," Tahlia added.

Sirius was still stunned. "I...that's not what I meant—you...that's it?"

"So what do you think of me?" Tahlia turned and stared straight at Sirius. "I promised Lily that if something happens to them, I will protect Harry's safety—what I should do now is to take Harry home?" Looking at his still dazed expression, he sighed. "It's not that I'm not upset, Sirius—"

"No..." Sirius shook his head and finally spoke. "I know you're definitely upset—I mean, you shouldn't be acting so calm, Tahlia—" There was a pause. "You... you also have the right to... show sadness—"

Tahlia froze for a moment, then nodded. "I know." After that, he added another sentence. "Thanks."

But at this time, sadness is definitely the most useless emotion, she still has a lot of things to do, and getting Harry settled is the first priority.

Besides, with Voldemort gone, there was bound to be quite a commotion tomorrow morning--whether it was ordinary people or Death Eaters.

Post-war liquidation.

For some reason, the word popped into Tahlia's mind.

The Death Eaters are like street rats who have lost their backing, especially for the many things they did before, there must be a lot of people waiting in line for revenge──

But she can't be caught, otherwise even the agreement with Lily can't be reached.

"Albus, you have to testify for Sirius, even though everyone thinks he betrayed James and Lily." She dropped the words, and then left without looking back, despite Dumbledore's mouth opening slightly, as if still want to say something.

She took a taxi, and with Harry she couldn't apparate, and it was more acceptable to endure a taxi driver's weird stare than all the passengers on the subway, given that she was only 21 years old with a The baby, and the childless father followed, and she didn't want to bother explaining to passers-by that she wasn't Harry's mother...

As a result, her small apartment has an extra small resident.

The bedroom, which was originally not that big, was crammed into a crib that she transformed, and at this moment, Harry was lying on it and fast asleep.

Tomorrow, the wizarding world is bound to be different.

And Harry is destined to have a very troubled future──If Voldemort comes back, then the first target will definitely be the little Harry who made him lose power.

Tahlia lies on her cot, staring at the ceiling—

everything will change...

Slowly close your eyes.

In the early morning of the next day, the big headline on the front page of the Daily Prophet made all the wizards erupt, and there were great celebrations everywhere. The only ones who were silent were the Death Eaters.

You-Know-Who is dead.

Everyone believes so, and is happy from the bottom of their hearts.

But all the people with the Dark Mark on their arms knew in their hearts that he was not dead, which terrified them—the photo in the newspaper clearly showed the body of the person they once called their master.

And he didn't die.

Apparently his previous claim of being beyond death wasn't something he just said casually - so they kept a low profile, and the Lord would reappear shortly to teach the celebratory crowd a lesson.

But their expectations were completely dashed.

The Ministry of Magic started a massive sweep, and Voldemort didn't show up.

Then one by one the Death Eaters were arrested, some were thrown into Azkaban without even being tried, and Voldemort still didn't show up.

As if the Lestranges had grasped the last straw, they teamed up with an unexpected person—the son of Crouch, and found the Longbottoms who finally showed up after hiding for a long time. They seemed to want to find out the whereabouts of their masters, but Until the Longbottoms were driven crazy, they didn't ask any answers, and of course they were caught in Azkaban in the end.

The Death Eaters finally realized that Voldemort would never appear again.

This already symbolizes the end of Voldemort's era of terror. Even Bella Lestrange, his well-known capable men, went to prison, not including Lucius Malfoy who claimed to be under control—Merlin knew how many Galleons it took him So that the Ministry of Magic did not make things difficult for them—

That leaves only Tahlia Watson.

This woman who made everyone hate her teeth.

So when a large group of Auror stopped Tahlia who was about to enter Gringotts, the people on the side looked on coldly, and the eyes fully revealed the pleasure of revenge.

"What's the matter?" Tahlia asked, frowning.

His body trembled unconsciously, but Auror, who took the lead, bit the bullet and spoke. "We need you to come with us, there are several allegations against you that need your explanation..."

"I didn't do it." Tahlia said flatly, turning sideways to enter Gringotts. "Sorry, I still have to work—"

"Liar!" One of the crowd yelled suddenly, and then, the crowd became enraged and shouted, asking those Aurors to take him away.

"She ruined Anderson's house!" One of them looked angrily at Tahlia who was still expressionless. "The youngest son of their family lives with me now!"

Tahlia turned to the man and spoke softly. "What about the evidence?"

There was a sudden silence all around. Although they were still angry, none of them could produce any evidence.

After a long time, Auror who took the lead reluctantly spoke again. "Anyway, Miss Watson, we still need your clarification—"

"No need." Tahlia interrupted her directly. "Since you don't have any evidence, I don't intend to waste time with you... Please get out of the way." Said to one of Auror who was blocking the door.

"Please cooperate." Another Auror spoke, his tone sounded as angry as the crowd beside him, and his wand was already pointed at Tahlia. "Otherwise don't blame us—"

"What's your fault?" Tahlia didn't take out her wand as well, which undoubtedly gave them a good reason to take her away, thinking of Harry who was still taking a nap at home, saying that she couldn't be caught anyway.

"It's hard for us to see you like this, Miss Watson." Auror, who took the lead, grabbed the impulsive young man who was about to rush forward, and said. "Just come with us? If it's true as you said, you have nothing to do with those things, I guarantee you can still go home for dinner—" Although he was 100% sure in his heart that those things would definitely be done by Tahlia Yes, he knew for sure the second she heard Tahlia say it.

Unfortunately, voices are not considered evidence.
