[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Snape deliberately ignored the slow voice calling to himself behind him, and continued to move forward. At this time, he didn't have the time to pay attention to that person—

Unexpectedly, the owner of the voice moved faster than him, and a hand directly grabbed his arm. "Meeting an old friend, not even saying hello, is unreasonable even by your standards... Severus?"

Curse all Malfoys.

Snape took a deep breath, turned his head and forced a smirk. "Mr. Malfoy, I don't think we know each other well enough to call each other by first name."

"It's not too late to get acquainted with each other from now on." The man with the blond hair smiled standardly, but he didn't ease his grip on it. "It's too unfamiliar to call me Mr. You should call me by my first name. I can't bear the respect of the dignified Hogwarts potions professor."

"I definitely didn't mean that, trust me," said Snape coldly, with a quick glance back—

There is no one behind Tahlia, in such a short time, she has disappeared...

I immediately cursed the man countless times in my heart.

"What do you want to do?" Snape vented all his dissatisfaction on this man in displeasure. "I can't believe you stopped me just to call you...Mal...Lucius."

"Based on our friendship for many years, I can't say hello to you on the street?" Lucius raised his eyebrows, and then he opened his mouth to get down to business because of Snape's instantly darkened face. "Just to tell you, Draco is also enrolling this year." Then he took a slight step to the side, stretched out his hand and pushed a little boy with beautiful blond hair behind him a few steps forward. "I don't think you would refuse to take special care of an outstanding freshman?"

Snape looked down.

Even if the kid didn't talk, no one would doubt that he was a Malfoy.

Although he was still very young and his face was still chubby, the expression between his brows and eyes was almost exactly the same as that of Lucius.

"You're that sure he's going to be a Slytherin?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Of course." Lucius puffed out his chest unconsciously, and then said to the child. "Snape...Professor will be your dean from now on—"

Draco nodded cautiously.

His father said that Professor Snape's potions were very powerful, and his father also said that Tahlia was also an assistant teacher of potions at the school. What he didn't understand was that Tahlia should feel that she hated Professor Snape...how could she agree? As a teaching assistant?

"Professor... No, Dean." He said.

Snape nodded curtly, then looked at Lucius, although his expression still looked unhappy. "Naturally, I will take special care of the students of the academy."

He almost forgot that the Malfoys were the same age as Potter, and in the blink of an eye, they were both old enough to go to school.

Ten years have passed since the Dark Lord disappeared.

Maybe he is no longer the young man he used to be, and no one will use his youth as an excuse when doing anything, but now he deeply understands that the mistakes he made can only be made up by himself.

"I assume you haven't eaten yet?" Lucius said.When he and Narcissa led Draco in a restaurant just now, they had already seen Snape standing like a statue in the scorching sun.

You don't need to think about it to know that he is definitely waiting for someone.

Whoever he wanted to wait for, Lucius had no intention of making him wait, and even though Tahlia hadn't said anything, he could vaguely guess that it was Snape who had left her for so long.

Especially after finding that Snape couldn't hide the joy on his face and moved towards the familiar big and small not far away, by the time Lucius reacted, he had already stepped forward and grabbed each other tightly.

When had Snape waited so long for Tahlia?

This made him very curious.

As for the things he was curious about, he would definitely find a way to find out the answer.

Snape nodded grimly.

Lucius curled his lips. "Are you interested in coming to Malfoy Manor for a cup of afternoon tea later?" Xiao Li stopped talking because his robe was tugged a bit, and then realized after looking down at his son's aggrieved expression, and changed his words. "After I've done shopping for Draco?"

"What else do you need?" Snape asked.

"There are also items for astronomy, sir." Draco looked up at the book list and answered.

Snape turned around almost instantly, and hurried through the crowd towards a storefront ahead.

Since he probably won't see Tahlia today, wasting his entire morning in vain, it's not bad to attribute his meal to the one who caused all this...

Leading the two of them, he pushed open the door of the shop.

Then Snape froze.

He had to take back any of the countless curses he had said about Malfoy.

After he made eye contact with a child with black hair and green eyes as soon as he stepped into the store... Maybe he should also thank the father and son.

Coincidentally, Tahlia, Nigel, and Harry Potter were in this store at the moment.

Thanks Merlin.

"Tahlia," he said.

Trying not to let himself be disappointed by the indifferent face of the woman in front of him who turned her head when she heard his voice, he continued. "haven't seen you for a long time."

"I remember we met at school, Snape." Tahlia replied coldly, then stopped talking to him and turned back to the clerk. "Just do what you said just now, and put this on for me."

After the clerk nodded and turned around to prepare, Tahlia turned around again, and couldn't hold back an exclamation of surprise for a moment. "Lucius?"

Lucius felt helpless at the moment.

He was thinking of taking Snape away, but he didn't expect to let the two meet directly, and now he can't explain to Tahlia why he walked into this store with Snape...

However, his worry at the moment has not been passed on to these children at all.

Almost at the moment when he saw Harry and Nigel, Draco almost couldn't contain a low cry of excitement, then immediately stepped forward and chatted with them enthusiastically.

"Did you bring Draco to buy supplies too?" Tahlia stepped forward and asked, glanced at Snape who was standing aside, and looked at Lucius suspiciously. "With Snape?"

"I just happened to meet, and entrusted Severus to take care of Draco from now on—"

Tahlia raised an eyebrow. "Severus?" She didn't know that Lucius had switched to calling Snape's name. "Since when did you and him become so close?"

Snape didn't know how he felt right now.

He seemed to have not heard his name from Tahlia's mouth in a long time.He heard it now, but everyone knew that Tahlia wasn't really calling him at all.

And he, like always, was completely ignored after a few words with Tahlia.

Damn he doesn't think he'll ever get used to this...

"I think so," Lucius said dryly. "Since there should be many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future, we shouldn't stick to any form of politeness, are you right?" Looking at Snape who was stunned to the side, he realized that he was not in the situation at all, and coughed lightly . "Severus?"

Snape came back to his senses, but stared at Lucius with a dark face.

"You've got a point," Tahlia said slowly, and continued as the two looked at her in surprise. "We do have a common goal to achieve." Squeezed out a smile.

Then, he turned around and was about to call a few children who were discussing their future school life with great interest to take them away, but was interrupted by Snape.

"I'll be visiting at Malfoy Manor in a while," Snape said, but his voice felt strangely dry.

"What does that have to do with me?" Tahlia scowled, then shot Lucius a glare. "Whoever he wants to invite to afternoon tea, and whoever agrees to the invitation, I'm not at all interested—"

"I mean, I don't think he minds you coming with us…" Snape said as calmly as possible. "You are with us."

Of course he knew that it was definitely not in line with Lucius's so-called etiquette to say this directly past Lucius and Tahlia, but he didn't intend to bother so much.

Especially since he already said it, Lucius would never say no, considering that his friendship with Tahlia is almost very good...

Sure enough, Lucius nodded despite showing a little displeasure. "I wanted you to come with me, Tahlia—"

"I don't—"

"Is Tahlia coming to our house?" Tahlia was about to refuse, but was interrupted by Draco's excited voice, and saw that he had already pulled Harry and Nigel up to them, looking at him with joy. "Tahlia you haven't been to our house for a long time!" he said.

All the words Tahlia was about to refuse stuck in her throat in an instant, but she just couldn't bear to tell Draco, whose eyes were shining with anticipation, that she didn't want to go at all.

It should be said that she didn't want to go because of Snape.

Until she figured out how Snape looked like a different person again, she would never step into any of those traps again.

No, she shouldn't be trying to figure it out at all, it's none of her business.

Absolutely none of her business.

"Are you coming, Tahlia?" Seeing that Tahlia didn't answer at all, Draco became anxious and asked again, not noticing that his father beside him was winking at him desperately.

After a moment, Tahlia forced a smile and reached out to stroke Draco's head. "Of course I'll go. It's been a long time since I took Harry and the others to visit you, right?"

Draco couldn't help cheering along with Harry and Nigel, turned his head, but shrank back instantly.

He thinks he is bad.

Because his father was staring at him fiercely.

Feeling so innocent, Draco couldn't help hiding behind Tahlia.

Did he do something wrong?

Why does my father seem very unhappy...

Carefully raising his head to look at Tahlia, he relaxed because of her soothing eyes.

Tahlia had been taking Harry and Nigel to Malfoy Manor for several years, mostly during the holidays, and every Christmas, and he was no longer as afraid of her as he had been when he first saw Tahlia.

And Draco thinks that Tahlia is really powerful, he can always make his father shut up with a word, but he still can't do it, especially Tahlia has never lost his temper with him, and has always been very gentle The one talking to him is completely different from the speechless imposing manner of her father!

With Tahlia's support, Draco puffed out his chest slightly.

He had done nothing wrong, he had just invited Tahlia over to his house!If his father scolded him for this incident, Tahlia would definitely scold him back for him!

"Harry, I'll show you my wand later!" He didn't worry about anything anymore, turned around and whispered to Harry. "It's a unicorn feather! Where's yours?"

"Yeah... awesome..." Harry was clearly distracted by Draco's discussion about wands, and even forgot to answer Draco's question.

That always reminded him of what Olivander said just now...

The last thing he wanted to hear was that he had anything to do with the Voldemort who killed his parents...
