[HP] Can you be gentle with me

"Tahlia!" Sirius hurriedly greeted when he saw Tahlia walking in.

Tahlia walked over to sit down, and Sirius spoke hastily. "What did Malfoy want you for? He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"No." Tahlia smiled. "It's just a little bit of encouragement, after all, I've helped the academy add a lot of points in these few classes..."

"Really?" Sirius couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe that Malfoy stopped Tahlia just to tell about it, but judging by Tahlia's expression, it seemed that nothing really happened.

"Really," Tahlia said. "What else can he do?"

"Hmm…" Sirius responded.The clock also rang, and Professor Binns, who was said to have become a ghost, also floated into the classroom through the wall.

Could it be that he really thinks too much?

"Good morning, students..." Professor Binns spoke in a flat, ethereal voice, and he didn't care about the sparse responses from the students, and continued talking on his own. "I am Professor Binns. Today we are going to understand the history of the magic world... According to legend, in the ancient Greek era..."

Not long after Professor Binns opened his mouth, the classroom became lifeless. Sirius immediately couldn't think about Lucius' question anymore, and fell asleep on the table with a thump. Eyelids, not to mention Tahlia, this class was taught by them and the Ravenclaw students. Looking around, there are only two or three kittens left in the studious Ravenclaws who are still awake, and these few sober classmates Another half of the head was pointing to the side, obviously on the verge of drowsiness. It has to be said that Professor Binns' hypnosis skills claim to be the second, and no one dares to claim the first.

After finally making it through to the end of get out of class, Tahlia woke up Sirius, who was sleeping soundly on the table next to him.

"get out of class is over?" Sirius opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that the students around him were also yawning and packing their things to leave the classroom. "I didn't expect that I actually fell asleep the whole class... Tahlia, did you fall asleep?"

"No." Tahlia said. "But it's coming soon..." Professor Binns's lecture skills are really unsatisfactory. Tahlia thought to herself that she would go to bed earlier every Thursday night in the future, lest he accidentally overwhelmed him with the history of magic on Friday morning. I couldn't help but fell asleep.

"I really admire you..." Sirius said, put the textbooks into the backpack, stood up and followed Tahlia to the door.

In fact, Snape was also awake. He stared contemptuously at Sirius, who was woken up by Tahlia after class, and the traces of drowsiness were still clearly visible on his face. He really didn't understand how someone who was so study-oriented like Tahlia would tolerate such a person by her side. , let out a faint but clear cold snort just as he passed by Sirius.

"What's your opinion?" Sirius heard it, and immediately turned to ask.

Snape sneered. "What can I say? After all... I'm not the one who slept through the whole room..."

"Snape!" Sirius stepped forward and grabbed Snape by the collar, and when Tahlia, who was walking in front, sensed their conflict and turned around, Sirius already looked like she was about to beat someone up.

"Let go!" Tahlia hurried forward to pull Sirius back. "What happened?"

Sirius was clearly still angry, and pointed at Snape's nose, and Snape frowned in displeasure. "Are you asking him?"

"Snape, can you tell me what's wrong with you?" Tahlia turned to Snape and asked nicely.

"I have no reason to answer you."

Tahlia was at a loss for words, so the rare peaceful conversation between the two of them in the library yesterday really seemed like a flash in the pan, she found that this was always the pattern between her and Snape, a rare peaceful time together made her think that the relationship between the two of them had improved, After the next meeting, they will return to the original point and repeat the cycle.She sighed and turned to Sirius. "So what happened?"

"It's nothing really…" Sirius glared at Snape. "Simply express a little...kindness to him..." He squeezed out the last two words from between his teeth.

"It turns out that in the perception of the Black family, kindness means grabbing people by their collars. It's really a tradition." Snape said coldly.

"I warn you, Snape, don't mess with us again…"

Snape narrowed his eyes slightly. "I don't remember me messing with you guys." Yes, he was just expressing some emotion when he passed them, and then Sirius and James would always jump up in an instant.

Tahlia tugged on Sirius' sleeve lightly, frowning slightly. "Sirius, forget it..." and said to Snape. "Sorry, Snape."

"You don't have to apologize to this kind of person!" Sirius said excitedly to Tahlia. "A few times it was obvious that he was looking for trouble, Tahlia, you can't see it!"

"I..." Tahlia was instantly speechless by Sirius' words, yes, she could never lose her temper with Snape, no matter how sneering and sarcastic he was towards her, or even his contempt towards her friends, She couldn't even blame him, like this... Tahlia looked at Sirius who was obviously hurt in his heart, it was unfair to them, she didn't want to lose this precious friendship, she couldn't do this anymore. "Sirius, I'm sorry," she whispered, then turned to Snape.

Taking a deep breath, she ordered herself to lower her face, and insisted on speaking in a cold tone. "Snape, you...you better stay away from us," she said. "This is the last time, don't provoke my friend again." Then, grabbing Sirius' hand, she hurried out of the classroom for the first time in her life, leaving Snape behind.

Looking in surprise at Tahlia who left without looking back, Snape was a little stunned. In her memory, Tahlia had never spoken to him in such a tone. Usually she always spoke to him gently, no matter what he did if It seems that Tahlia's most angry tone is just a flat speech at best, never...she never used the kind of treatment just now as if she treated strangers...no, even strangers He wouldn't use such a tone, and the cold words just now were completely inconsistent with the impression Tahlia gave him on weekdays.

I don't know why I care, but she said to stay away from him... Isn't that what he expected?She won't bother him anymore, so he can get along with Lily at ease, isn't it great?But... Snape felt like a needle was being pricked in his heart, he frowned, really, he really didn't like this feeling... so be it, if they don't meet, they will naturally Nothing like this will ever happen again.

Tahlia outside the door walked quickly, pulling Sirius' sleeves vigorously, she didn't know if she could stay in the same space with Snape calmly after saying that, this was her first time Forcing himself to talk to Snape like this once made him feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

Sirius, who was being dragged away from behind, sensed that something was wrong with Tahlia. He didn't expect that Tahlia would really be angry with Snape. He regretted it after saying the complaining sentence to Tahlia, because he knew that Tahlia cherished Snape very much in his heart. The opportunity to get along with him, and after seeing her froze for a moment, and then changed her face towards Snape, he knew that the opportunity was deprived by him just like that. Although Tahlia didn't say anything at the moment, Sirius could still know what she had now. How uncomfortable.

So that's it... She and Snape, Tahlia are still walking fast, they've never had a good relationship anyway... But even if they can say a few words and then they don't say anything, she She thinks she can get used to it, and besides, it's her own wishful thinking to keep trying to get in touch with him. Occasionally, when she gets a response from him, she is overjoyed, and even greedily hopes to get more. The other party doesn't need to pay attention to her, right?In fact, she is just unbalanced, right?She thought that the relationship they got together three years ago could mean something, but obviously not. Although she helped him, she never asked him if he needed her help. She should have known that with such a strong self-esteem like him Such a closeness of herself may have aroused the other party's disgust early on, but she didn't know it...but...she pressed her right hand to her chest, trying to suppress the feeling of suffocation.

Sirius was still being dragged behind Tahlia in a daze. Suddenly, something cold hit his face and splashed on his cheeks. Looking at Tahlia whose shoulders were shaking in front of him, Sirius understood that she was crying! Sirius was at a loss and didn't know what to do, not because he couldn't comfort a crying girl, but because it was Tahlia who was crying at this moment, and he didn't dare to call her name, because he knew that if she turned around at this moment, He will see her fragile appearance, and he knows that she has a strong personality. A Muggle born boldly reaches out to him on the train platform, and talks to him confidently about her thoughts in the carriage. After sorting, he will know. He still faced his situation resolutely, faced Lucius' temptation without changing his face and calmly dealt with it...Although he had only known her for a few days, these actions had already been deeply imprinted in Sirius' mind, He didn't know how he'd react to seeing Tahlia in tears.

Tahlia stopped and stood still.

"Tahlia...?" Sirius stepped forward cautiously. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..."

"It's okay," Tahlia said, without turning her head. "It should have been like this a long time ago. I was really too stubborn before..." She wiped it on her face a few times with the corner of her wide sleeve. "That's it." She turned her head and looked at Sirius, the tears on her face had been wiped dry, but her eyes were still a little red, she smiled. "Feel sorry……"

"I..." Sirius felt that this was wrong, very wrong, since Tahlia valued Snape so much, then they shouldn't be strangers like this, even if Snape was an asshole!But Sirius was more than happy to give him a good beating, anything, as long as it didn't make Tahlia so upset... He wanted to say something, but his tongue seemed to be knotted and he couldn't make any syllables.

"I'm fine." Tahlia took a deep breath and continued. "Where should we go now?" She was still smiling, but not smiling. "Didn't you say you want to show me the secret passage...no...it seems like I will miss lunch if I go to see it now..."

No!She is not good at all! Sirius wanted to yell at Tahlia, but he couldn't, he hated seeing her like this...

"How about we do our homework?" Seeing that Sirius still didn't speak, Tahlia said again, maybe in the book she can temporarily escape from reality, without having to think about Snape, and don't need to care about her relationship with him. Bad... yes, I have to study at this time. "It's still a while before lunch. Just now, Professor Binns in the history of magic said that he has to hand in a paper on the origin of magic in ancient Greece next week. I want to write it while the memory I heard just now is still fresh... that's right," she thought to herself Speaking freely, I felt that the depression in my chest was somewhat relieved.He took out a notebook from his bag and handed it to Sirius. "I took some notes in class just now, and I made a copy for you, for you... Sirius?"

"...Huh? Oh, thank you." Sirius took it blankly.

Tahlia smiled again. "Don't be dazed, Sirius, do you want to go to the library with me?"

"...Didn't you just go there yesterday?" Sirius looked at Tahlia who was trying to pretend to be nonchalant and talked to him, and felt that he could no longer be obsessed with what happened just now, so he also returned to his normal tone. "Are those books yesterday not enough for a dissertation?"

"Those are just about Defense Against the Dark Arts," Tahlia said seriously. "I don't have many books on the history of magic..."

"Then just make do with textbooks..."

"How!" Tahlia said, starting to walk towards the library. "This is something that cannot be sloppy..."

Sirius had no choice but to follow Tahlia to the library, thinking of the best, at least as long as he followed her, he would not have to worry about not doing his homework one day at all.

Neither of them mentioned what happened just now.
