[HP] Can you be gentle with me

In the end, of course, they went to ride the Ferris wheel.

Tahlia's expression changed only briefly, and neither child noticed it.

In their eyes, Tahlia is definitely happy to travel with them today.

So when they got home, the two kids were tired from playing all day and went to bed early.

Even in their sleep, their expressions were smiling, as if they were still stuck in the good memories of playing during the day.

Tahlia tidied up some of the things they had brought out before returning to the living room, frowning and looking straight in the direction of the fireplace.

And there was a raging green flame immediately, and then a slender figure stepped out.

"Oh? Didn't you send me a message this time?" Tahlia asked, and she didn't feel guilty after seeing the awkward expression of the old man who had just stood still in front of her after hearing this sentence. "It seems that this time is really much more important than Snape's little wish last time?"

"This time is really important." Dumbledore smiled weakly. "I've heard from Mr. Pettigrew, Tahlia."

"What did he say?" Tahlia asked slowly.

"You know exactly what he said—" Dumbledore said softly. "I'm sure Mr. Pettigrew won't just contact me, especially since you're the one who convinced him to go on this mission..."

Although he still didn't understand exactly what method Tahlia used to make Peter Pettigrew overcome his inner timidity and act like a real Gryffindor.

Tahlia was silent, and didn't answer immediately, but turned around and walked to Harry and Nigel's room, closing the door gently, and then returned to the living room, motioning for Dumbledore to sit down.

"He said he found Voldemort," Tahlia said as Dumbledore sat on the sofa. "I think he told you that too."

Dumbledore nodded. "What do you want him to do?"

"Of course, according to the original plan, I have to go back." Tahlia replied quickly.Also because she answered so naturally and quickly, it made Dumbledore stunned for a while.

"You didn't mention you had to go back, Tahlia," he reminded after a moment.

"Really?" Tahlia said flatly. "Then I must have forgotten to tell you."

The whole space became abnormally silent. Obviously Dumbledore didn't know what to say. Emotionally, he would never want any junior around him to risk his life again, but intellectually, he also knew clearly that to win, he would absolutely A certain amount of sacrifice is required—

"It's perfectly fine for me to go back, isn't it?" Tahlia broke the silence. "Voldemort never doubted me at all, and I did assign Peter to find my master, and I'm still one of his loyal subordinates──"

"And Harry?" Dumbledore said suddenly, interrupting Tahlia. "If you raised Harry for so many years but didn't...how should I put it...but didn't continue your master's will and killed him, have you thought about how to explain it to him?"

Tahlia shuts her mouth.

After a while, he said in a low voice. "I've thought about it."

She thought about it, but she still couldn't figure out the answer.

"But that's not the point, Albus──" Tahlia had no intention of continuing to discuss the question raised by Dumbledore, and of course she wouldn't tell him that she hadn't thought of anything, and waved her hand a little annoyed. "Anyway, you still need someone there, and I'm still the best candidate, so I don't think it should be discussed anymore." There was a pause. "Unless you have the ability to instigate Lucius to do things for you..."

"Lucius Malfoy...?"

Tahlia resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "Otherwise, where do you think I got that diary? I'm not that capable of stealing things from such an old manor..."

Regardless of the fact that Lucius and Narcissa are not weak, the manor of such a famous pure-blood family is definitely well protected, not to mention there are house elves watching...

Although she didn't like this kind of enslaved and hysterical creatures very much, she couldn't deny that they had their own magic system, and they were not lost to wizards at all.

"...yes, he already knew about Mr. Malfoy, his father—" Tahlia continued. "And if he didn't make any changes because of this, it's impossible for me to say anything to him..."

Dumbledore was still trying to digest the news, and it was something he had never imagined, that Tahlia and little Malfoy had such a good relationship, he always thought they just got along well in school.

Thinking about it now, I thought it was Voldemort's arrangement that Tahlia would live in the Malfoy Manor after graduation, because Tahlia would never tell him anything more about her life, so the worry I had when I first heard about it was unnecessary. There was no way little Malfoy was going to give her a hard time.

In other words, it was a matter of coordination between them that she would live there.

Thinking about it, he also became very depressed.

And Tahlia noticed.

"Sorry, Albus," she said, and Dumbledore looked up slowly at the words. "I didn't hide it from you on purpose, I forgot to tell you..." she said. "Besides, I thought you would have figured it out by yourself a long time ago—" With Dumbledore's level of shrewdness, how could he not have thought about it all the time, anyway, the fact is, maybe both of them ignored it unconsciously, so She didn't mention it, and the other party didn't ask.

Dumbledore perked up a little and coughed lightly. "Let's not continue this topic..." he said, restraining his childish expression and turning serious. "So, you really plan to go back?"

Tahlia nods. "Since Peter already knows the whereabouts of Voldemort, I naturally have to be the first batch of loyal servants to greet him, and it will be more convincing, right?" There was a short pause. "But I won't be there for too long, I think he should ask me back soon..." Continue the work that Snape should have been responsible for before, providing Dumbledore's information to Voldemort.

"The children—"

"I'll have them go and spend a few days with Sirius tomorrow, I've got in touch…" Tahlia replied. "Of course Sirius agrees."

Dumbledore didn't know what to say anymore, the woman in front of her had already taken care of everything, as always, so that others couldn't find any loopholes.

"I have only one condition, Tahlia," he said finally.

Tahlia didn't speak, just sat, silently waiting for Dumbledore to continue.

"And I know that even if I don't order it, you intend to do it—" he said.

Almost instantly, Tahlia knew what Dumbledore was going to say.

Actually think about it.

Snape had to go back too, otherwise Voldemort would know right away that he was a traitor, and the most important thing for him to do after his return, besides killing Harry, was to get rid of everyone who dared to betray him.

"I'll keep an eye on him," she said. "If that's what you mean..."

Dumbledore nodded approvingly, then stood up slowly. "Then... I should go too - I don't think you want me to be here to bother you..."

Tahlia smiles. "I never said that, Albus."

"But you made it very obvious." Dumbledore didn't look offended at all. "So I never knew how to really get along with a Slytherin," he said, nodding again before stepping into the fireplace to leave.

All right……

Tahlia leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes.

It all started.

And the success this time is success, and if it fails, it is absolutely possible.

"I need you to find Voldemort, Peter."

While closing her eyes, she seemed to be back in the room where she had a conversation with Peter, and what clearly appeared in front of her eyes was the obvious frightened expression on his face after hearing these words.

"You...you want me to find...that person?" he said sharply, and the little bit of firmness he had finally shown just now disappeared in an instant.

"Only you can do it, Peter," Tahlia said wearily. "I know Voldemort..." Glancing at Peter who flinched at hearing Voldemort's name again, she continued. "He is hiding in foreign forests, your Animagus is absolutely suitable for finding him in that environment──"

Peter seemed to be hesitating again, and it gave Tahlia a headache.

"I thought you were trying to make amends, Peter," she said slowly. "Think of James...he's always considered you a very important friend, hasn't he?"

Peter was silent, lowered his head, and seemed to really start to seriously recall the bits and pieces of their previous school days.

Then he suddenly found that compared to the memories of being with James and the others, he remembered more about Tahlia's face teaching him seriously. He never saw any contempt or mocking of him in her eyes. In school, only When talking to her, he really felt at ease, and he didn't have to deliberately force himself to follow the thinking of the friends around him...

He knew Tahlia would always listen carefully to his every thought.

And he let her down, completely disappointed.

That's what he really wanted to make up for.

Raise your head and speak. "I go."

Tahlia nodded, stood up and was about to leave, which made Peter startled, and quickly stopped her. "that's all?"

"What else do you want from me?" Tahlia turned around and asked jokingly. "Forcing you to cast an Unbreakable Charm?" She wouldn't do it, and she knew Peter didn't want her to, and being forced to do anything was never meant to be true, and that was it. She has a deep understanding.

"I think you should do this." Peter said seriously, and then he found that Tahlia was stunned by his words, and her expression became very strange.

"What are you talking about?" Tahlia asked. "If you break your oath, you will die—"

"On the contrary, as long as I don't violate it, I'll be fine, right?" Peter answered.

Tahlia was very surprised at the moment, she stared straight at Peter for a long moment, trying to find a hint of hesitation in his eyes, and to her even more surprise, she couldn't find it.

Peter has changed.

And this change is even just for a moment.

"You really think it through?" she asked again. "Are you really determined to commit your own life to...?"

Peter thought about it seriously for a while, long enough for Tahlia to think that he might back off again, but he didn't, and when he spoke again, his answer was the same.

"I really think we should set the Unbreakable Charm, so you can rest assured, don't you? And this spell can also push me forward when I want to back down..." he said softly. "I don't want...to disappoint you any more──"

Tahlia froze for a moment, then found herself smiling before she knew it. "Well, since you want to..." She said, took a note on the table and wrote something, shouted to the fireplace, threw the note in the moment the flame ignited, turned her head, and said Peter spoke. "Then, when Lucius comes over, we can begin—"
