[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Chapter 161. The Language of the Snake

Soon, Tahlia was ready to pack her things and leave school.It wasn't until this moment that she realized that she had bought so many things for Harry unconsciously.

There is a whole big box for the clothes alone, not to mention a big stack of coloring pages and picture books with patterns that can move by themselves, and several bags full of dolls.

It seemed that she had to be a little more restrained... She must never buy a novelty on the fly just because Harry looked expectantly at it—otherwise Lucius would be jealous if he found out, jealous for Draco.

For the first time, Tahlia understood Lucius' psychology of wanting to buy everything for Draco. Seeing a child smiling innocently in front of her, even she had the urge to fulfill all his wishes.

Even if he wasn't related to Harry at all.

"Go, Harry," she called.

Harry staggered over immediately, and stretched out his hands, obviously wanting to hug.And Tahlia said it anyway. "If you can walk by yourself in the future, you can walk by yourself." Still hugging him smoothly, it seems that this sentence is not convincing at all.

With a casual wave of the wand, the boxes of items that were stacked on the ground were automatically reduced to a size that could fit in a small bag, and of course Tahlia immediately put them all into her space bag.

During the process, Harry kept his eyes wide open, staring at Tahlia and casting spells with interest, never getting tired of watching the miraculous sight in front of him.

They quickly returned to the apartment.

There has been no one living in the space for several months, and a thin layer of dust has accumulated on the furniture. Tahlia secretly made a decision that the next time she plans to leave for a long time, she must cast a spell on the place that will not be stained with dust. It's just a matter of waving the magic wand to remove the dust, but when I get home, I'm faced with such a gray look, and I'm not happy at all psychologically.

"Chirp!" Harry sneezed uncontrollably, rubbed his nose with his hands, and frowned.

"Sorry, Harry," Tahlia said, flicking her wand quickly to make the annoying dust disappear. "much better?"

Harry's response was to wriggle directly for Tahlia to put him down, and after Tahlia bent obediently, as soon as his feet touched the floor, he rushed forward excitedly, climbed onto the small chair that belonged to him, and The face looked at Tahlia excitedly.

"Are you happy to be home?" Tahlia smiled. "Obviously you had a great time at school──" I was very touched that Harry also considered this small place his home. "I'll take you to play with Draco tomorrow, okay?"

"Draco!" Harry yelled, making Tahlia laugh out loud.

At least, in the future, Harry will have someone of the same age whom he has known since childhood to get along with, maybe it will make his life easier.

The next day, Tahlia didn't break her promise to Harry, and showed him at Malfoy Manor by the fireplace early in the morning, just in time for their breakfast.

Lucius was obviously used to such sudden visits from her, and he would have been surprised if Tahlia hadn't found a day to sit with them after the holidays, it should be said.Draco, on the other hand, saw Tahlia appearing with Harry, regardless of the fact that he was still eating, he jumped off the chair, rushed to Tahlia at his fastest speed, and shouted excitedly. "Tahli!"

"Tahlia." Harry on the side immediately corrected him. He was finally able to pronounce Tahlia's name in full a few days ago.

Draco gave Harry a confused look.

Harry looked smug. "Tahlia!" he called again, waving his short hand excitedly.

Not knowing if Draco really understood, Tahlia nodded seriously when she saw him, then tried to shout a few times, and finally, finally let out. "Tahlia!"

"Sure enough, my son is that smart." Lucius said suddenly, the smugness in his tone fully revealed. "Even Little Potter can understand this meaningless expression──"

"Lucius, children are good at imitating──" Tahlia directly poured a bucket of cold water on him, and led Harry to the dining table. The moment they appeared, the house elves had already recognized her, and they just walked back and forth. It took less than a minute to set up the cutlery and food in the empty space on the table. "He just yelled out what Harry said." He hugged Harry to the chair, and sat down slowly himself. "I'm more curious, but you never corrected Draco to pronounce my name clearly?"

"Don't you think it's special for him to call you 'Tahli' endearingly?" Lucius quipped. "This is the privilege of my son."

Tahlia was completely speechless, and decided to ignore Lucius who had gone into silly dad mode again, and started to eat breakfast with his head down.

"Say..." Lucius spoke again suddenly, and Tahlia looked up slowly, looking at him. "That thing... have you dealt with it?"

He was referring to Voldemort's diary, the last time Tahlia had taken that away before she left for school and he hadn't had a chance to track her progress.

"Not yet." Tahlia replied naturally, raising her eyebrows after seeing Lucius' stunned expression. "Don't you think it's easy to destroy a Horcrux?"

"Of course not." Lucius replied hastily.

But he really thought that Tahlia had already destroyed the diary. After all, it had been half a year since she took the diary away. Based on his understanding of her, she should have found a way to destroy it long ago.

It never occurred to him that even Tahlia hadn't been able to find a way to eliminate such an evil thing as a Horcrux—the fear of the Dark Lord in his heart increased a little, and he originally thought that that fear could not rise again.

"I think Luc was just expressing his concern, Tahlia—" Narcissa smiled. "Right, Luc?"

Lucius nodded of course, casting a grateful glance at Narcissa.

The interaction between the two was completely watched by Tahlia, and for some reason, an image appeared in her mind--the image of Snape sitting next to her in the morning light, and the two of them sitting together in her imagination in the house...

Shake your head quickly.

She really thought too much... Even if Snape treated her better now, she didn't dare to have any expectations, looking forward to the day when they would interact like that.

"Anyway," Tahlia cleared her throat. "I will definitely destroy that thing, you can rest assured about that---in fact, I have been working hard to find a way..."

Lucius nodded. "I know," he said. "If there's anything I need to do, just tell me—"

Now, in terms of wanting to kill that man, he can be sure that he will never lose to Tahlia.

It was that person who made it impossible for him to say a word to his father. Even if he finally understood now, it was already too late.

It is impossible for that person to bring them a glorious future, and some of them are just destruction, and fantasies like poison, which will be wiped out with a light touch.

Afterwards, Tahlia let Harry play with Draco, while she enjoyed herself sitting on the extremely comfortable sofa in Malfoy Manor, completely emptied out, closed her eyes comfortably, and quickly dozed off in a relaxed way, which made Lucius beside her unbearable The corners of his mouth kept twitching several times, and it felt like the muscles on his face were almost broken.

Narcissa went to the kitchen and was busy preparing some of her specialty cookies, ignoring the crying house elves. It was an indescribably peaceful day in the manor, if not counting the sudden crying from the courtyard outside. If you shout—

Even Tahlia was awakened by the sharp cry. After looking at Lucius, she quickly stood up in tacit understanding and ran towards the outside...

Just now Draco dragged Harry to play in the garden with the house elves staggering, and now the two adults are very disturbed...

If anything happens to the two of them—

As soon as they stepped onto the turf of the courtyard, both of them were stunned, standing there with their mouths wide open.

Draco sat on the ground, crying so loudly that Tahlia instantly understood who was making the cry that he had just heard.

But Harry was standing, standing in front of Draco, shouting at a snake further ahead.

The snake was actually not that big, but to the two children who were nearly two years old, it was obviously as terrifying as a huge monster. The house elf who was following them fell to the side, and it seemed that it was bitten by the snake .

However, this was not the reason for the two of them to stand in a daze.

To their shock, Harry shouted—

A hiss that made them feel like they were in a nightmare again.

That language, they have only heard it from one person in their lives... that creepy, cruel and cold-blooded language──

It's already equated with Voldemort, Parseltongue.

The snake seemed confused for a while, hesitating whether to retreat or go forward to continue attacking, and Harry looked like he was about to cry, still roaring with great effort, uttering intermittent snake language from his mouth .

Finally, based on the purpose that Tahlia and the others didn't understand, the snake wagged its tail very slowly and left.

And Harry finally cried out, turned around and saw Tahlia, and walked towards her while crying.

Tahlia controlled herself not to back down, and desperately resisted the urge to pull out her wand—kept telling herself that Harry wouldn't turn into Voldemort in the next second, and Voldemort left...

"Tahlia—" Harry wailed as he hugged Tahlia.Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief—he was already speaking normal language. "Snake... afraid!"

And Draco also saw his father, sniffling and staggering towards Lucius.

Both Lucius and Tahlia reflexively picked up the child in front of them and comforted them in a low voice.

"The snake is gone...don't be afraid," Tahlia said softly.

After a while, the two children stopped crying and fell asleep in their arms.

Lucius threw a sharp look at the house-elf who had woken up from a coma and was about to make a shrill apology, ordering him not to make any sound, otherwise if the two children were awakened, he would definitely Send him a box full of socks straight away.

He glanced at Tahlia unobtrusively, and found that her face was extremely serious, she must be thinking about what just happened──

How could the Potter child be a Parseltongue?

He clearly knows that the Potter family is a very famous pure-blood family in the magic world, and he can be sure that the Potter family has absolutely no blood relationship with the old Slytherin family. Even if there is, it has long been diluted with the long history... …

Could this be what the prophecy meant, that the Dark Lord would possess unknowable power?

He suddenly became wary of the child in Tahlia's arms. Perhaps people have misunderstood the direction. This child is not a savior, but a demon who may overthrow that person in the future, or even replace him──

"Lucius," Tahlia said suddenly, pulling him out of the thought.

"Ok?"

"What happened just now, I hope no one will know..." Tahlia said seriously, and Lucius subconsciously nodded in agreement. "I always think it's not that simple—but," she smiled. "I will take care of it, and what you are worried about, I will never let it happen..."

Lucius was taken aback for a moment, then realized that he had unconsciously expressed his thoughts on his face just now, and opened his mouth in embarrassment. "I'm not really worried—"

"I know." Tahlia nodded. "Actually, I also had this idea at that moment, but I believe that things will definitely not develop in such a bad situation──" He lowered his head, looked at the little black-haired boy who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and spoke again. "I have faith in Harry."

He also has confidence in James and Lily. With their two good parents, Harry must be a great wizard in the future.
