[HP] Can you be gentle with me

When the two arrived in the hall, many owls flew in, one of which flew over Tahlia's head, dropped a thick letter, then stopped on the table, and kissed Tahlia's hand affectionately.

"Thank you, Skylar..." Tahlia took a piece of bread and gave him a small corner. "How are you guys?"

Skylar nodded, then continued to eat Tahlia's bread, sometimes taking a sip from her drink.

Looking at her tired pet, Tahlia abruptly stopped taking out the letter she wrote last night, and let him rest for a day. After all, flying back and forth for such a long distance every day would not be exhausting.

After thinking about it, he still handed the letter to Skylar. "Go and rest, and send this letter for me tomorrow, okay?"

With a soft cry, Skylar picked up Tahlia's letter in his mouth, jumped up with wings, and quickly flew out of the window above the hall.

Planning to go back to her room at night and read the letter slowly, Tahlia finished her breakfast quickly and waited for Lucius to lead them to class.They didn't have to wait long, before Lucius motioned for the first year to come with him.

At the school greenhouse, Lucius said to them. "That's right here. This is Greenhouse No. [-]. You won't need to go into the next few rooms." He let everyone in, and then left in a hurry as if he was also in a hurry for class. It must be said that he seemed in a hurry They still give people an elegant feeling, are all pure blood families trained like this? Tahlia glanced at Sirius, no wonder he felt that Sirius' demeanor also revealed a luxurious atmosphere, how young did he start training?

Sensing Tahlia's gaze, Sirius trembled unconsciously, why did he feel like she was thinking about something horrible, he turned his head and asked. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Tahlia smiled wickedly.But also coming from a magical family, Sirius felt that it was much easier to approach.

"Tahlia..." Sirius looked at Tahlia sadly.

"Nothing really!" Thalia said. "Look! The professor is coming in!"

"...Are you changing the subject?" Sirius said, but because the professor really came in, he couldn't continue to say anything, why does it feel like Tahlia is doing something bad... Who the hell is leading her!He thought bitterly.If he finds out, he will definitely try his best to learn metamorphosis and turn that person into a slug!

Professor Sprout, who teaches herbal medicine, is a short and fat witch. She is the dean of Hufflepuff's college, but she feels very kind, and there is no pressure at all in her class. Tahlia can accurately identify some herbs, and Professor Sprout is very happy However, Tahlia noticed that Snape could always silently say the correct herbal term before the professor gave the answer, but he didn't seem to care much about the college's extra points, always Standing aside with a gloomy face.

In the afternoon, they were taken to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, and after a while, James and the others arrived in a hurry.

"Phew, I was almost late..." James sat down with a smile, looking in a good mood. Tahlia guessed it might have something to do with Lily. "Just met Lily, come with her."

Sure enough, Tahlia thought.As long as Lily is mentioned, James seems to have endless energy, which always makes the atmosphere very lively.

"What's your class in the morning?" Sirius asked.

"History of Magic," Remus said. "Don't look at how energetic James is now. He slept like a pig in the classroom all morning and snored."

"I didn't!" James hurriedly denied, after all, Lily was sitting not far behind, how could it damage his image.

"Yes." Remus said seriously. "I swear the voice I heard was from you..."

There was a soft laugh, it was Lily, and Snape beside him also showed a contemptuous smile.

"Remus..." James looked at Remus sadly, how could he say it directly like this, and let Lily hear it, thankfully he got up and greeted Lily as soon as he woke up after class in the morning, and didn't want to let Lily She found that she slept through the whole class!

But he couldn't express his complaints, because Remus's expression was so serious, it seemed that he didn't mean to tell Lily at all, and he could only swallow the words that James blamed, and sighed, he took He took out his quill pen and began to scribble randomly on the textbook. Although it was random scribbling, he wrote a few words repeatedly, such as Lily, such as Evans. James, who was writing seriously, did not notice that the treacherous Remus who was already laughing was sneaking and Sirius clapped happily.

Tahlia looked at James, who had eaten turtles several times in a row, and thought it was funny. She turned to look at Remus, gave him a thumbs up, and got a big smile in return.

At this time, the class bell rang, and the professor walked into the classroom.

A group of people immediately sat down, including Snape. After all, this is the subject they are most interested in at the moment. The rumors about that person outside are spreading. Perhaps it is not a bad thing to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts well. Of course, Tahlia is also very much looking forward to this class. In fact, she looked forward to all the classes.

Snape looked at the professor on the podium, and the moment he spoke, he knew that he didn't need to listen carefully. Although their textbook was a famous introductory book on Defense Against the Dark Arts, it was obvious that the professor didn't really After understanding it, many concepts were vague or even wrong, and he couldn't help frowning.

Yes, Snape loved the Dark Arts, and even knew a lot of Dark Arts spells already.But it's a pity that Hogwarts doesn't teach this subject, but Defense Against the Dark Arts does exist. To learn Defense, you must first understand Dark Arts, right?How else would you know what to defend against?

He looked at Lily and found that she was not dissatisfied with the professor's explanation, but this is normal, if she hadn't studied a lot of black magic and its defensive magic, or was very familiar with the contents of the textbook, wouldn't it be You will find mistakes in the professor's lectures.

Since Snape was sitting behind Tahlia, he didn't notice that she had the same tight lip and frown throughout the class.

Tahlia was very disappointed with this class. He just read roughly according to the content in the textbook, but he ignored most of the important arguments, and these arguments are very important. The advanced black that Tahlia bought separately It was constantly mentioned in the magic defense books. Originally, he wanted to save it to ask the professor after class, but from this point of view, it is obvious that the professor doesn’t know much more than himself. Even, Tahlia feels that his understanding of this textbook is absolute. It is more thorough than this professor.

As mentioned in Chapter 7, black magic and defense are inseparable, just like a balance, whichever side is too heavy will make the balance tilt, so according to the book, even if you don’t plan to use black magic when learning defense, at least You should also have a basic understanding of it.However, in his opening remarks just now, the professor said that black magic is an absolutely evil existence, and strongly advised all students to stay away from it, and he didn't even give them a chance to understand it. He was so afraid of a thing that he didn't touch it at all. It would be even more dangerous. Everyone knows the truth, but it seems to have become a fairy tale to deceive children in this professor's mouth. In this way, they may not be able to learn the essence of Defense Against the Dark Arts in this class. , no matter how well written this textbook is, it will not help.

After class, Tahlia remained silent, and this aura also affected the people around her.

"Tahlia, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Tahlia who hadn't spoken since the DADA surgery, James couldn't help asking. "Don't talk, it's not like you."

"...I'm asking you guys," Tahlia thought for a moment before speaking. "What do you think of the professor's speech just now?"

"Nothing special." Sirius shrugged. "What's wrong?"

"I think..." Tahlia said. "His attitude towards black magic is a bit strange..."

"What do you mean?" James asked. "Black magic is indeed very evil, yes, why is it so strange?"

"No, I mean, black magic might be evil," Tahlia paused. "But is that why we don't touch it at all?"

"Since it's evil, then there's no need for us to contact it?" Remus thought for a while and said. "It's like, since I know a certain biological danger, I won't approach it. Isn't that the same reason?"

"Yeah... no, I mean..." Tahlia struggled for the right words. "How can we really learn Defense Against the Dark Arts if we don't understand it at all?" she said. "Shouldn't it be completely repelled?"

"But we shouldn't use black magic..." Sirius said, frowning.Although there are many dark magic books in their house, he really hates the study full of them, making the already gloomy house even darker, yes, just like his last name...

"It's not that we're going to use...uh..." Tahlia said. "Just take the example that Remus gave just now, knowing a certain kind of biological danger, such as..." She couldn't think of any examples for a while.

"Werewolf." Remus helped her take it lightly. "I think werewolves are definitely dangerous enough."

"Well, like a werewolf," she said. "We know werewolves are dangerous creatures, so we'll keep them out of the way...right?"

"...Yes." It was Remus who answered, but his expression was a little strange. "According to theory..."

"Well, but we don't want to know them at all because of this," Tahlia said. "If this is the case, we will never know the reason why werewolves are dangerous, and even we will not be able to find out their weaknesses to deal with them, will we?"

"...That seems to make sense..." Sirius mused. "So you mean...?"

"I guess we can't be completely against the Dark Arts..." Tahlia replied. "It's also written in our textbook that the author believes that black magic and defense are two aspects of the same thing, and it will not be complete without either... I think the professor may have misunderstood."

"...Maybe." James was also lost in thought.According to Tahlia, not only should they not resist the Dark Arts altogether, they even have to understand it?This is completely contrary to his previous education, but the example she gave does have her reasons. Besides, since it is written in the textbook, it cannot be Tahlia's nonsense, after all, she has read very few books. If he doesn't remember, then maybe he has to change some of his thoughts. "I think we can study this point..."

"Yeah." Sirius said too. "What you just said is much clearer than what the professor said." He smiled. "Maybe it's really like what you said. We can find some more books to confirm it."

Tahlia didn't expect them to accept her point of view so quickly, she was a little stunned for a while, nodded, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Remus, whose face had turned pale since the conversation started. "Remus, are you okay? Not feeling well?"

Remus shook his head. "No, it's just that I... don't really like wolves... werewolves," he said.

"I'm sorry." Tahlia apologized immediately. "I shouldn't have given that example!" she said guiltily. "But I don't think they should be discriminated against by wizards. After all, most werewolves are not voluntary..." Seeing that Remus still didn't recover his color, he relaxed a little after hearing her apologetic expression. "...Let's change the subject, we've been discussing this... the atmosphere has froze."
