[HP] Can you be gentle with me

It's been a long time.

The only sound echoed in the small cave was painful panting.

No...she doesn't want to drink any more.

"No more..."

Tahlia knelt on the ground, clutching the glass tightly in her hands, as if the glass might be crushed at any moment.

she can't do it...

But there are some left--

Please, no more!

"Yeah...you really are as evil as I thought──"

"Shut up!" Tahlia yelled suddenly, shaking her head violently, trying to get rid of the voices in her head that had been bothering her since the liquid had entered her mouth.

She was thirsty... but she shouldn't be, she'd just downed several potions.

But she was really thirsty-

"Water...I need water..." Tahlia murmured absentmindedly, and began to look around, feeling dizzy, trying to find something to ease her discomfort.

And she couldn't find it.

In fact, it can't be said that she can't find it, because there are lakes all around her, but now she is desperately trying to stop the urge that every cell in her body is clamoring to touch the lake that is definitely problematic.

The effect of this potion... Voldemort could not have known about it.

And he definitely knew the invaders would need water—

Obviously, he wouldn't be the Dark Lord if he hadn't tampered with the only source of water in this space.

The water...she couldn't drink-

Damn.

She knew exactly what she shouldn't touch...

But when she came back to her senses, she found that she had squatted down by the water, and her hands were trembling to let the glass dip into the dark and cold lake water...

Tahlia knew something was wrong, after she couldn't help but poured a full glass of lake water into her mouth.

And things are really bad...

When she was drinking water, the originally calm lake became restless, as if something was awakened inside, and they all struggled to get out of the lake.

And she was absent-minded and could only continue to scoop up water from the lake to quench her thirst that seemed to never be quenched...

Tahlia knew something was grabbing her limbs.

Her eyes gradually focused, and she didn't know whether she first realized that she was unable to use all her strength, or that it was the ghosts she had only seen in books that swarmed out of the lake and began to try to drag her into the water.

All she knew was that she was being gradually pulled into the lake by those things, and she couldn't even begin to think about how to deal with it...

Perhaps she had really acted too hastily.

He rushed into Voldemort's well-laid trap without being prepared.

So that's it?

She was at a loss... let the cold lake water gradually flood her thighs and abdomen...

That's it-

"Hmm!" The sudden pain in her abdomen that came to her mind made her vigilant.

The pain came suddenly and without warning, but it was also timely.Because of this, Tahlia suddenly realized what the current situation is...

What the hell is she doing now?

Tahlia had never intended to die inexplicably here, even though she had been prepared to be killed by Voldemort one day, but not here.

She cannot die here.

Thinking about it, he didn't know where the strength came from, and his right hand suddenly pulled away from a cold palm that was tightly grasping his arm, quickly took out the magic wand hidden in his robe, and roared out before the water flooded his mouth and nose. a spell.

Before this, she never thought that she would be able to perform this kind of magic one day.

The magic of evil...

She's... evil.

……evil.

Let her be like this──

She doesn't care anymore.

There was a small burst of flame from the wand, small but dangerous, and the level of danger seemed to be noticed even by those unconscious things that could not even be called living things, and they loosened their restraint on Tahlia, and of course she did not Then continue to sink into the water.

Panting for breath, Tahlia stood up slowly, the tip of the wand continued to shoot out flames without any sign of stopping, and the small piece of flame that shot out at the beginning had already attached to the closest thing at that time, burning more and more The more intense it was, even the struggling of those things back into the water could not extinguish the flame.

The temperature of the entire cave is gradually rising, and it is suffocating. It is very dangerous to burn flames in such an almost airtight space, not to mention this kind of black magic flame, which is famous for making it easy to control and difficult to control. the──

Tahlia is pretty well under control.

Those flames are now almost filling the entire space, but there has been no flames around her, as if she has an invisible protection. Although Tahlia is sweating and her expression is full of pain, so far, she has always been able to drive The flames swerved before reaching her, shifting their target to destroy the Inferi that had tried to kill her not so long ago.

That's right, it went smoothly at first... But there are always surprises in everything.

Another without warning.

The abdominal pain that saved her life just now and allowed her to regain her sense of crisis has now distracted her, and she should not be distracted now.

Tahlia found that at the moment when she paused briefly and her left hand unconsciously caressed her abdomen, a flame seemed to finally find a chance, and even rushed towards her with excitement, as if there was still a faint echo in the air. The hallucination of the flames cheering...

It was too late to regain control, and if she did so, then there would be flaws in her control of other flames. Seeing the faintly revealed black flames approaching her eyes, she only had less than a second to think about it. ...

Maybe she should thank Lucius.

At school, when Lucius taught her dueling skills, what he liked to do most was to attack her suddenly without giving her time to react. She complained about it many times at the time, but now she finally knows that she was rewarded for it at that time. How valuable is her reaction ability, which even allowed her to turn sideways quickly just before the flames were about to burn her body, and her right hand did not stop casting spells because of this sudden movement, and she still held it firmly. holding a wand.

The flame passed by her cheek. Coincidentally, there was nothing behind Tahlia. On the contrary, the flame continued to rush forward after passing by her side. The next second, it hit the standing island In the center, the stone basin that the flames would deliberately bypass as if they were alive──

Boom.

Tahlia had only time to reflexively throw the first strongest protective spell that flashed through her mind, and then felt a strong impact, and the shield only lasted for a short while before it was shattered by the impact, and then she I didn't know anything, and my eyes were plunged into darkness.

It was black.

This was Tahlia's first sensation after regaining consciousness.

She blinked a few times, and then the scene in front of her eyes gradually turned from blurry to clear. She was still in the cave, but she was no longer on the small island in the center. It seemed that the impact just made her fly out.

The lake water has returned to calm, and there is no trace of the corpse still moving, but the point is that Tahlia's whole body is in pain now.

Unlike the abstract pain that directly puts pressure on the pain-sensing nerve in the brain like the piercing carpal bone, the pain she feels now is very real, a real physical pain.

It's a miracle she's still alive.

And she can still act...

Although she was struggling, she still trembled and slowly stood up against the wall, deliberately ignoring the pain in her abdomen that had been throbbing since she woke up. Maybe she was injured somewhere, but that's not what she should care about now, she There is one more Horcrux to deal with──

Tahlia found that the boat she used to cross the lake had been damaged due to the accident just now and could no longer be used at all. Fortunately, the lake is no longer dangerous and she can swim across it...

The pain in her abdomen was still there, even after the pain in other parts of her body gradually subsided.

It was only after she set foot on the island again that she realized that she didn't need to expend any effort to swim over. Even though the previous flame had no life, it would still subconsciously repel the black magic cast on the stone basin from the same source, or the flames inside. A potion with unknown ingredients, that's why she didn't throw Fiend at the beginning.

Now, Fiendfire had apparently perfectly annihilated the Horcrux at the bottom of the stone basin, along with the potion that nearly killed her.

She didn't know if she was lucky or what, the destruction of this Horcrux should be regarded as a mistake, if she didn't and almost died, it should still be considered smooth...

Walking forward slowly, Tahlia found that her footsteps had become a little sloppy, and she would fall to the ground if she didn't pay attention, but it didn't matter...at least she succeeded.

One step closer to eliminating Voldemort.

Tahlia reached out her hand and carefully picked up a small charred pendant on the dry bottom of the stone basin, perhaps it had once been a very delicate pendant.

Even though it was valuable in the past, and even caught Voldemort's eyes, so what, it has not completely lost its value now, and it is not even considered a piece of garbage.

With a cold snort, Tahlia didn't take another look at the thing, and directly threw it into her interspatial bag.

Ok, it's time to go back...

Hope it hasn't been too long.

Until now, Tahlia suddenly remembered that there was a little black-haired boy waiting in a nearby hotel. She didn't know how long she was unconscious. In short, she had to go back as soon as possible...

Hurry back as soon as possible...

Merlin seemed to be on her side. When she returned to the hotel with her tired body and still aching stomach, she found Harry still lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. in a few hours --

The little boy rolled over on the bed, as if his body had sensed the morning light shining on him. His eyelids moved a few times, then opened, and blinked a few more times before he fully woke up.

Harry slowly sat up from the bed, rubbed his eyes sleepily with his small hands, and looked aside, and saw Tahlia standing by the door.

"Tahlia?" Harry called, blinking again.

Tahlia blinked too, then pulled out her wand, and subconsciously wanted to cast a warming spell on Harry. Even though it was still summer, the early morning weather was still cold for a child. This was after two weeks of listening to Harry. Conclusion after sneezing all morning.

She spoke, and waved her wand. "Good morning, Ha──"

Harry's eyes widened.

Because Tahlia, who was about to speak to him in front of her, suddenly stopped talking, and fell heavily on the ground, motionless.
