[HP] Can you be gentle with me

boom!

The door to the hospital wing was slammed open with a bang, of course, but this time Pomfrey didn't growl.

The conversation that Harry was about to say carefully was interrupted by the conversation he heard outside the door not long ago. The next second, two figures rushed in, and a man in black robe appeared next to the hospital bed in the blink of an eye, and his hand He had already held the wand firmly, and began to mutter the spell...

As the tip of the wand moved, several deep wounds on Tahlia's body miraculously healed, as if the spell was specially invented for such wounds...

This surprised Pomfrey.

She just wanted to ask Snape to come over to see if she could make a potion that could heal the wound, but she didn't expect him to cast the spell directly and accurately──

An idea took shape in her head, and the realization made her feel unbelievable...

No wizard can know in an instant what kind of spell caused the wound just by looking at it, let alone accurately judge the solution of the spell, and this means—

Merlin...

It didn't take long before Snape finally stopped casting the spell, put down his wand, and took a step back, looking at Tahlia with complicated eyes.

His hands were hanging down, as if he didn't know what to do next.

It was Pomfrey who made the first move, and began to pour countless bottles of potions into Tahlia's mouth neatly, deciding that no matter why Snape hurt Tahlia, that would be something that needs to be figured out later, and the important thing right now is to let Tahlia stabilized.

Then there is Sirius.

Apparently he was on the same page as Pomfrey.

As for how he found him in front of Tahlia's office instead of Snape's asshole's office, and how he didn't seem too surprised after seeing Tahlia, but figured out so quickly what the cure for the wound was...

At the moment when Snape stepped back, he had already strode forward, grabbed his collar, and before anyone could stop him, he punched Snape hard on the left cheek──

"You're the most asshole I've ever met, Snape!" Sirius yelled, and this time, Pomfrey didn't bother to remind him that no noise was allowed in the hospital wing, and she just continued to focus on caring for Tahlia.

Rarely, Snape didn't react at all, he was still being grabbed by the collar, his face was tilted to one side due to the force just now, and he didn't turn back to face Sirius again.

And this move seemed to annoy him even more.

I saw him raising his right fist again, as if the fist was about to fall in the next second──

"Merlin!"

An exclamation made everyone present stop their movements again, and their eyes moved to the direction of the sound──

It's Pomfrey.

It should be said that Pomfrey was full of horror.

"what happened?"

This question came from Dumbledore, considering that Sirius was still grabbing Snape's collar, and although both of them paused because of Pomfrey's exclamation, it seemed that they didn't have the extra thought to speak at the moment...

"See for yourselves!" Pomfrey gave up on explaining, and threw several testing spells at him.

"What's the meaning?"

Sirius asked with a very bad face, not realizing that he had unconsciously let go of the hand that was holding Snape's collar tightly just now.

He has never worked hard on healing spells, and he has no idea about these lights of various colors representing different results, but even he knows that a normal and healthy person will not almost monopolize the whole body at this moment. Shrouded in a clear black mist, he could barely see Tahlia's body...

Pomfrey didn't answer.

It was Snape, on the other hand, who changed his face instantly after seeing the color of the detection spell, which surprised Sirius, who glanced casually, after a moment of bewilderment.

Snape walked forward slowly under everyone's gaze, drew out his wand again, and re-cast the exact same detection spell that Pomfrey used just now, as if to confirm something...

And everyone suddenly felt that the most important thing they should do at this time was to keep quiet, so they also stood quietly aside, watching Snape cast the spell over and over again, trying again and again because they didn't believe the results--

No one made a sound, and no one tried to ask why Pomfrey was looking at Tahlia with such distressing eyes at this moment, and no one wanted to interrupt Snape's almost hysterical behavior.

Perhaps because of Snape's desperate act of constantly casting spells, Pomfrey had forgotten by this time that she should have asked why the young man in front of him had shot Tahlia so badly, and couldn't help but speak. "Stop it, Severus—the test spell did not go wrong."

This sentence successfully became a switch to stop Snape from doing nothing, making him stop and retract his wand, but he didn't say anything, standing beside the hospital bed silently with his hands down, staring at the woman lying on top.

There was a long silence.

Even the two children just stood quietly, without making any noise to break the atmosphere at this time.

"I won't let this happen, I promise."

I don't know how long it took before Snape finally spoke. He seemed to understand something suddenly, fists clenched tightly, and he spoke as if announcing.

"I will heal her."

After finishing speaking, he turned around, left the confused faces of everyone except Pomfrey, and left the medical wing.

What's the meaning?

Sirius felt confused, and apparently the others were equally confused, and looked at Pomfrey questioningly.

Being stared at by so many people at the same time, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She glanced sadly at the people on the hospital bed before speaking slowly.

"I have to say first... I don't know exactly what caused Tahlia's physical condition, but I guess-" She paused for a moment, thinking again about how to say the cruel truth more tactfully came out, but she didn't succeed in thinking it out, and finally chose to continue speaking at a very slow speed.

"──I estimate that according to Tahlia's current physical condition, she will definitely not live for three years."

Three years...

Everyone was stunned. If someone walked into the medical wing now, they would definitely see several stone statues standing there.

"Are you...are you joking?"

Sirius' face was extremely ugly, and it took him a while to force out this sentence, which seemed to be what everyone present wanted to express.

Pomfrey didn't show any signs of impatience because of this, and spoke patiently. "You should have seen it just now, that is the result given by the detection spell──"

"Then something happened to Snape!" Sirius exclaimed.

Yes, it must be!

Considering he was definitely the one who hurt Tahlia──

"Think for yourself if what you're saying makes sense, Mr. Black!" Pomfrey said louder. "Is there any reason for Professor Snape to do something deliberately? To cater to my...joke?" She put her hands on her waist and continued angrily. "I also have no reason to lie to you, I'm just telling the truth—"

After a while, seeing everyone's obviously depressed mood because of her words, they sighed, lowered their volume and spoke slowly. "I thought you should have seen it too. Professor Snape said that he would provide assistance. If treated early, Tahlia would be able to live well. Don't act like she is under some indelible curse..."

If it was said that Pomfrey's words before made everyone's mood drop to the bottom, then her current narration is definitely like throwing down a life-saving rope, allowing them to hold on tightly.

"You mean, Tahlia doesn't have to die?"

After a while, Regulus asked cautiously.

Pomfrey gave them an annoyed look. "I made it very clear from the very beginning. According to her current physical condition, she can't live for three years, but I didn't say that there is no room for change..."

Especially with Snape's promise that with the help of a potion master like him, the situation will definitely be improved...

"That's good..." Sirius heaved a sigh of relief, he didn't feel so nervous anymore, his eyes drifted unconsciously to the direction of the hospital bed, and he was surprised to find that the woman lying on top had opened her eyes at some point, although her expression was Still weak and pale. "Tahlia…" he called, stepping forward quickly. "how do you feel?"

"Alive." Tahlia said, her voice was dry enough to make her frown.

"That's not a very clear adjective." Regulus couldn't help but speak from the side.It was only then that she noticed that there were other people in the medical wing.

Looking around, she was obviously surprised by how many people gathered here, especially since there was no way the Black brothers would be in school at this time.

"What are you all doing here?" She couldn't help asking.

"What else can be done?" Sirius gave Tahlia a rare look. "I don't even look at who almost died just now!"

Tahlia shuts her mouth.

She knew very well why she was sent to the medical wing, it was all because she couldn't control her emotions just now and insisted on using Lily to provoke Snape's anger.

Lily was a pain in Snape's heart that could never be erased, and she knew it perfectly.

But what she couldn't understand was how she still felt sad and unwilling about it—she had been working hard for so many years, trying not to care about, or even forget these emotions...

And when she saw Snape easily pissed off because of Lily, she was irritated too.

face down.

"Didn't that tell Harry to look for you?" she said, turning her face away slowly. "I still want to live, Sirius, I still have a lot to do—"

"Want to live?" Sirius snorted, causing Tahlia to be momentarily taken aback, and stared at him with wide eyes.

It seemed Sirius was angry.

"Why don't you tell us what's going on with your body?" Sirius ignored Tahlia's astonished expression and continued. "Because I can't see at all that you want to live."

"What do you mean?" Tahlia asked in a daze, but she didn't expect that this question made everyone except Dumbledore blush.

A moment of silence.

Sirius looked very angry, opened and closed his mouth a few times but couldn't utter a sentence, and seemed to be suppressing himself from yelling.

Finally it was Dumbledore who broke the silence and spoke softly.

"Tahlia, you shouldn't be ignorant of your physical condition, am I right?"

Tahlia froze instantly.

Of course she knew something was wrong, but it shouldn't be this serious... So far, the most serious thing is only the time when she suddenly coughed up blood, not to mention that she almost passed out recently, so there should be improvement yes

Smiling, she spoke. "You guys are so nervous, I think it's just a small problem—"

"Small problem?" Sirius suddenly couldn't hold back his voice.

Then he continued to growl under Tahlia's surprised gaze.

"You're dying and it's a small problem? So what's the big problem? When we face your dead body?"
