[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Sirius was restless.

It wasn't because taking care of Harry made him exhausted and restless. Little Harry seemed to have an endless stream of energy in front of him. Originally, Tahlia didn't want to sleep in the afternoon nap, but at night he got up and tossed him after a short sleep──this situation It lasted a whole week.

One week!

That's what made him restless.

Harry stayed with him for a week, which was a far cry from what had been agreed to be just one night.

In fact, the morning after Harry was brought here, when he didn't see Tahlia, he had a faint feeling that something was wrong - considering that the person Tahlia was going to meet was that fellow Snape, there was absolutely nothing wrong with it...

And after he had struggled for a long time, and finally came to the logical conclusion that asking about Tahlia's whereabouts was more important than enduring seeing that annoying black guy, he finally headed to Spider's Tail, where Snape was said to live. The house in Lane.

And he also met Snape smoothly--by the way, the two of them were just short of pulling out their wands and directly dueling on the Muggle streets, and the uneasiness in his heart instantly rose to the highest point it had ever been before.

Tahlia never came, he said—

Where did she go?

Then he went to Tahlia's small apartment.

The door was locked tightly, and the protective spell Tahlia had cast on it hadn't been changed at all, proving that the master wasn't even inside.

And went to his brothers too—

After accepting their warm hospitality, while he came to the conclusion that Tahlia was not here, he also secretly decided to keep the matter of Tahlia's suspected disappearance a secret, and he must not disclose it to the four men in front of him. They know how to get out of control...

Then, Dumbledore looked at him with the same puzzled eyes he had shared - meaning he didn't know where Tahlia had gone either.

Not in Diagon Alley, and Tahlia wasn't in any of the stores there.

Neither was there in Knockturn Alley, and Sirius' presence there as the current Auror caused a lot of commotion, with dark wizards scurrying about inside.

After searching for two full days without any results, he was completely depressed.

Sitting dazedly on the sofa in his living room, Regulus obviously had the same thought as himself, and also sat aside, not knowing what to do.

It never occurred to him that Tahlia would not come to bring Harry at the appointed time.

I never thought that she would disappear one day.

Sirius didn't even dare to think about what would happen to Tahlia, and anyway, he couldn't convince himself that way, he would rather believe that she got the time wrong-even though it wasn't something she would do at all.

For seven days, no one heard from Tahlia.

What's even more irritating is that after he went to Spider's End again, he found that the bastard who most likely knew Tahlia's whereabouts was wearing a face that had nothing to do with him.

"Evidently Tahlia said she was coming to look for you, how could you have never even seen her?" Sirius finally couldn't help it, and yelled directly at the door of Snape's house. Fortunately, some protective spells were cast here to prevent him The roar spread out.

"She said she wanted to find me, so I have to meet her?" Snape snorted coldly. "Your logic is so flawless that I can't refute it, Black." He felt that opening the door just because of the man in front of him was enough time wasted, especially since he had been trying to figure out something for a few days, like a week Where did the potion that he worked so hard to make before disappear... Or how could there be no report on Tahlia in the Daily Prophet...

"But...but—" Sirius scratched his head irritably.Mingming heard from Regulus that Tahlia looked very much looking forward to leaving the old house. "She said she wanted to come to you!" In the end, these words were not convincing even to him.

Snape was damn right, there was no evidence at all that Tahlia managed to meet Snape, and he wouldn't be bored enough to lie about it, even though he hated seeing him.

Could it really be the result he couldn't imagine, that Tahlia was captured by someone?

"...Forget it──" Sirius said dejectedly, waving his hands casually. "If she comes to you, tell me?"

His answer was the door slamming shut in front of him, and he was almost hit in the nose by the door because he was standing so close.

"Damn it! Snape!" Sirius yelled angrily, but it seemed that the owner of this house had no intention of opening the door again, kicked the door angrily, and then turned and left.

He didn't want to stay in this place for too long at all... It felt musty all over his body.

But he didn't have time to worry about the environmental problems of the neighborhood where Snape lived, because as soon as he returned to the house in Grimmauld Place, he opened the door and saw Regulus' worried and guilty face.

"What's wrong?" He asked reflexively.

Regulus looked panicked, completely different from his usual sense of stability.This made Sirius suddenly feel that the atmosphere in the whole space became very tense──

"Harry's gone—"

"Missing?" Sirius instantly felt his head was hit hard by an invisible object──

Tahlia's disappearance was scary enough, and now even Harry was gone?

"Did you ask Kreacher?" he asked in a deep voice, thankfully the impact didn't stop his head from shutting down.To say that the person who knows this house best... no, biological, definitely only Kreacher, after all, I still don't understand where he hid the portrait of his mother.

"Ask... asked..." Regulus said tremblingly. "He also said he didn't see..."

Now Sirius finally had a legitimate reason to panic.

How could Harry, a child, disappear without any reason?

That was his godson! James's child! Tahlia dragged the little dark-haired boy he was watching for!

And he failed his best friend's expectations, Tahlia's request was not good enough, even, as a godfather, he was really incompetent──

Loud crackling.

The two men looked almost simultaneously at the... house-elf Kreacher who suddenly appeared beside them.

He bowed respectfully to Regulus, then curtly bowed only slightly to Sirius. "Kreacher met the master."

A normal Sirius would definitely express his dissatisfaction with this, but at this time he has no time to think about other things, so he just opened his mouth impatiently. "what you do?"

Kreacher unhurriedly pulled out a small piece of parchment from the pillowcase he was wearing, and spoke. "Kreacher found this in the house while cleaning...Master."

Sirius got even more impatient and waved his hand. "What do you give me with this kind of rubbish? Or use it to decorate your... small nest?" After speaking, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

"Come on, Sirius—" Regulus advised first, then held out his hand to Kreacher. "Kreacher, give him to me."

Kreacher respectfully handed over the slip of paper, respectfully bowed deeply to Regulus, and then disappeared with a snap.

Regulus smiled wryly, clutching the parchment in his hands. "I said brother, when will you be nice to Kreacher?"

"When he won't curse me in secret." Sirius said quickly, then looked at the piece of paper in Regulus' hand. "Don't throw that trash away?" he asked, then murmured. "Sometimes I really don't know if he's crazy... always doing crazy things—"

Regulus shook his head. "Kreacher is a good house elf, Sirius, you should know—" He said, casually glanced at the parchment in his hand.

In an instant, he let out a cry. "elder brother!"

"What?" Sirius immediately snatched the small piece of parchment, and after taking a look, his eyes widened instantly──

There was only one line of writing on it, and based on the content alone, people might misunderstand that Harry was captured by someone, but Sirius recognized the handwriting──

How could he not recognize the handwriting?He watched it for seven full years!

Tahlia's handwriting.

And on the parchment it says:

'Harry is fine, don't worry...'

"What does that mean?" Regulus asked worriedly. "Who wrote it?"

"She left..." Sirius murmured.

"What?" Regulus asked again, puzzled. "Who left?"

But Sirius seemed to be unable to hear anything, and murmured to himself. "She left...why?"

Why did you suddenly say you were leaving?

What happened?

"Sirius!" Regulus changed lanes, and the volume increased a lot before Sirius finally got a little reaction.

"What?" asked in a daze.

Regulus frowned. "I'm asking you, who wrote that? What happened to Harry? Who left?"

"Regulus──I..." Sirius' disappointed expression was written all over his face. "I don't think Tahlia is missing..." he said slowly. "Leaving instead—taking Harry along."

And here he stood, not even knowing why Tahlia was doing it.

She just left without saying anything!

Sirius was very frustrated, if she really wanted to leave, he would definitely not be able to stop her, but she didn't even say a word to him—

"Tahlia took Harry away?" Regulus repeated in astonishment. "Where did you go?"

"If I knew, do you think I'd still be here?" Sirius smiled wryly, glanced at the parchment again, then clenched his fists, and the small piece of parchment was crumpled up like this.

For a while no one spoke.

Because there's no point in saying anything, even if they stand here and finally discuss why Tahlia left, it won't change the fact that they can't find her at all.

They can only wait.

Waiting for Tahlia to come back voluntarily──

Or, when Harry was 11 years old, he might be able to use him to find out Tahlia's whereabouts.

At this time, a man stood outside the door of the small apartment where Tahlia lived.

A sullen man.

Snape stared blankly at the door, as if hesitating whether to knock or not, he was still surprised that he would appear here inexplicably, he was staying at home, but when he came back, he found him Already apparated to the road outside the small apartment, and the pot of potion at home wasn't even finished yet.

What Black said to himself just now kept flashing in his mind.

Tahlia was going to look for him, but for some reason she didn't show up at Cokeworth.

For some reason, he felt an urge to check for himself—even though he couldn't understand why he suddenly had such an idea.

And because of these two conflicting emotions, Snape has been standing here for almost thirty minutes—

Finally, he reached out, knocked on the door, and waited...

No one answered the door.

Snape knocked again, but still no response.

frown.Could it be that Black guy really couldn't find Tahlia?There will be a day when something like disappearing will happen to her?

Where has she gone?

It doesn't matter, anyway, we will see it after school starts anyway, considering that the report is probably unlikely to be published, Snape is very cold about the Daily Prophet now, it seems that there is an invisible force behind him, no matter what he sends How many letters have been sent asking, only to get a reply that they will not report this kind of unsubstantiated statement--as if their previous reporting is so well-founded... Look at that woman Skeeter, writing Not a single word of what came out was true.

But when Snape found a middle-aged wizard sitting in Tahlia's seat at the staff meeting two months later, he realized that something was wrong.
