[HP] Can you be gentle with me

The wound had visibly deteriorated.

He should have discovered earlier that no matter how ordinary the snake around Voldemort was, it was definitely not an ordinary species, and the venom was not that easy to deal with.

He just couldn't understand, it was fine when the dressing was changed in the morning, how could it be so fast and almost returned to the previous terrifying appearance in such a short period of time.

"Is there a place to make potions here?" he asked.In any case, the immediate priority is to stabilize Tahlia's situation, he must reanalyze the venom...

Tahlia slowly raised her hand and pointed to a door next to the kitchen, eyes half-closed, without saying a word.

"Wait for me," Snape said, pulling out a potion from his robes for Tahlia to drink before standing up and hurrying to the room, pausing and turning his head on the way. "Nigel, come here, I need your help."

Nigel's eyes widened in disbelief that Snape would ask him that... but—

He sneaked a glance at Tahlia, she seemed to be really sick, and Darkness was probably trying to make a potion to make her feel better... After all, everyone said his potion was very powerful.

But he hates the dark!

But, helping him means helping Tahlia──

After struggling for a few seconds, Nigel jumped off the sofa and followed Snape into the room - or rather, his potion cubby.

But he didn't have time to complain about Snape's intrusion into his secret base, because the man in black had set up the cauldron in the blink of an eye, lit a flame underneath with his wand, and held a small bottle of dark red liquid in one hand The test tube looked at it carefully.

"What's that?" Nigel blurted out, and although he immediately shut up, he couldn't stop the words from reaching Snape.

Snape glanced up at Nigel. "Tahlia's blood."

"Tahlia's—" Blood? Nigel couldn't hold back an exclamation for a moment.

"Yes, I have to analyze the venom in it..." Snape said quietly, then carefully grabbed another smaller cauldron from the side shelf, poured half of the blood into it, and then lit the fire .Now he has no intention of paying attention to the surrounding environment at all, and his mind is only thinking of making the antidote as soon as possible. If he pays attention carefully, he may find that Nigel's potion making tools are absolutely complete to his surprise.

"So what am I going to do?" Nigel asked sullenly.

He's beginning to feel now that Snape is playing tricks on him by asking him to come in... He's just standing there by himself, not knowing what to do, just standing in the doorway, he might as well go outside and take care of Tahlia— ─

"Come here," Snape said, glancing up, freeing a hand to point at the larger cauldron from the beginning. "Pay attention to the temperature of this pot for me..."

When Nigel walked to the location, he suddenly remembered something, and said lightly. "I don't have a wand."

Snape stopped abruptly and turned his head suspiciously. "Then how did you make the potion at Black's place?"

"Regulus was there to help me." Nigel shrugged.

"Really..." Snape murmured.

Thinking about it, it could only be Regulus, and if he was killed, he wouldn't believe that Sirius Black could hold his temper and stand aside to precisely control the size and heat of the flame for Nigel, and not destroy the potion... Wait, He really destroyed the pot of potion.

"Then you come and cut those mountain leaf stems in the box into strips for me—"

Nigel nodded hastily, telling himself that he was doing Tahlia a favor, not the dark ones... Then he went to the box that Snape had mentioned, opened it, rummaged around and grabbed a handful of mountain leaf stems, Back to his small table which was a bit crowded because there were already two crucibles on it, he took a knife and began to cut seriously.

After a while, Nigel pushed the neatly cut stalks of mountain leaves in front of Snape, who was already stirring the cauldron.

Snape took a silent look. "You handle it very skillfully."

Nigel didn't answer.

Of course he has to handle it very skillfully... At the beginning, Tahlia told him that it was impossible for him to actually make potions before he was not proficient in handling medicinal materials. Merlin knew that he specially arranged this special room for him in order to let Tahlia How much effort was spent in the potion──

He finally got Tahlia's approval not long ago... There are many tools here that he has never used himself!He just now suddenly remembered... the darkness has taken over his equipment──

He absolutely, absolutely hated Snape the most!

After more than two hours, the liquid in the cauldron had turned a thick dark green, Snape asked Nigel to bring a small bowl, scooped some into it, and then raised his head. "Okay, this might take the venom out of Tahlia's wound..." He seemed to be speaking to Nigel, but it sounded like he was talking to himself as he opened the door and walked out.

Tahlia was already asleep, with her injured hand hanging on the cushion, in a deep sleep, and Nigel knew she must be in a deep sleep, otherwise, no matter what, as long as she appeared next to Tahlia, she would wake up and tell him A smile, and then asked what he was doing here.

Snape wasted no time, walked quickly over to Tahlia and sat down, dipped some of the now creamy potion in the small bowl with his index finger, and spread it on her arm. Tahlia frowned, but didn't open her eyes.

"Nigel, go get some water," Snape ordered.

"Why—" Nigel wanted to speak, but shut his mouth quickly, turned around and walked quickly into the kitchen. After a while, he filled a glass of water and handed it to Snape.

Snape brought the water to Tahlia's mouth, letting her drink it slowly, being careful not to spill a drop.

After the series of actions were completed, Snape lowered his head again, looked at Tahlia's arm for a while, and then spoke again. "Nigel."

Nigel said nothing, just gave Snape a look.

Snape stared at Nigel for a moment, then tried to say lightheartedly, "We've got to take Tahlia to St. Mungo's—"

"Is it serious?" Nigel asked in horror as his eyes widened again.

"It's not life-threatening." Snape lowered his voice. "But I thought maybe there's nothing to lose by showing it to the therapists there..."

What he didn't tell Nigel was that this time he couldn't be sure that he would be able to cure the poison completely, yes, he was good at potions ... and all kinds of poisons ... However, when it came to healing, he never dared to claim to be an expert, he certainly He could keep trying here, but he would never risk Tahlia's life again.

Nigel blinked, and then, after a very long time, nodded slowly and slightly. "But I'm going too."

Snape nodded hastily in agreement, stood up and hugged Tahlia, who was still asleep, and motioned for Nigel to follow. After he approached him cautiously, reached out and grabbed one of his sleeves, he quickly walked towards the room. fireplace.

"Saint Mungo!" he shouted.

In the next second, the three of them disappeared together in the emerald green flames bursting out of the fireplace.

Tahlia felt exhausted today.

Just walking on the streets of London for a short while seems to have exhausted all her energy, she should go back to school soon and get a good night's sleep, maybe she won't have this vain feeling of vacating... Wait Wait——vacate...?

It was as if someone... was holding her.

This recognition made her open her eyes abruptly, and the scenery in front of her just happened to be distorted together. The next moment, she was already in a completely unfamiliar scenery──

Damn, what the hell kind of place is this...?Before she could fully react, her body began to struggle and twist subconsciously.

"Tahlia?"

A voice came to her ears, and Tahlia's body froze instantly.

"woke up?"

Snape didn't expect Tahlia to wake up so quickly, he just came out of the fireplace, he felt the movement of the person in his arms, and before he had time to ask, Tahlia suddenly became very excited and pushed Open yourself, so that he didn't hold on firmly for a moment, and the next second, Tahlia, who had already stood still, glared at him angrily.

"I warn you, Snape..." Tahlia was visibly annoyed, trembling all over, and Snape wasn't sure which was the most common cause - her physical condition, or her anger... "If you Do it again for no reason──"Well, it's probably the latter...

But, he just did what he thought was right, and he didn't understand why Tahlia was so angry. "I have to take you to St. Mungo's," he explained.

Tahlia was stunned for a while, then looked around, and found that several therapists had noticed that they were walking towards them, and then realized that she seemed to be a little too excited, shut her mouth, and silently moved towards Nigel who was following. reach out.

Nigel came running quickly to grab it.

"And you also came?" She lowered her head and asked.

Nigel nodded. "Wherever Tahlia goes, I will follow."

"Okay, I see." Tahlia said with a smile, before looking up at Snape again. "What's wrong with me?" She was sure that there must be a reason why Snape had brought her here, was Voldemort's snake's venom really that hard to deal with?

Snape raised his hand, and instead of answering Tahlia's question right away, he handed the parchment scroll he had filled with some toxicity analysis to a therapist who had walked up to them, who seemed to be more experienced than the others There were many, and after only a few glances, he raised his head suspiciously.

"If I'm not mistaken, although this poison won't be fatal immediately, it can't be completely cured, is it?" he asked.While instructing several people on the side to let Tahlia lie on a hospital bed first.

Snape was expressionless. "That's right." If it wasn't for that, he wouldn't have brought Tahlia here on purpose.

The therapist studied the roll of parchment carefully for a while before speaking again slowly. "I think we'll have to replace that—"

"Tahlia Watson."

The therapist frowned slightly, but continued to answer the conversation. "—we'll have to do a closer inspection of that Miss Watson."

Snape glanced at Tahlia, and only answered after getting her nod of agreement. "Can."

So, the therapist waved to some wizards outside the order, and began to wave his wand to cast spells carefully. It took them a long time. It seems that the snake is really not a common type...

During this period, although Nigel sat quietly and looked at Tahlia, he was still a child after all. After a while, his head began to shake little by little, and then he lay down on the side with a bang, and fell asleep.

Snape stared blankly at Nigel's sleeping face who wasn't staring at him because he was asleep, and before he knew it, he had waved his wand and summoned a blanket to cover Nigel.

Tahlia saw all this in her eyes, even though she was surrounded by many therapists who were examining her, she could still see what was happening on the side, she knew that Nigel had accidentally fallen asleep, and Ben was still thinking that she was not He couldn't cover him with a blanket and saw Snape bring a...

When did Snape become so kind?

When did Snape act like this to take care of a child?

Tahlia stared at Snape silently, as if trying to get some clues, but then, the voice of the therapist came to her ear. "alright."

She turned her head away and said softly. "Thanks for your hard work."

The therapist seemed a little overwhelmed, and was stunned for a few seconds before speaking. "No." After finishing speaking, he squeezed out a professional smile, nodded slightly and led the rest of the therapists away.

"Nigel can't sleep here." Tahlia said flatly once the crowd left. "I can't distract myself from watching him here..."

"Take him back to Black's old house?"

Tahlia couldn't help giving Snape a blank look. "Yeah, and then Sirius will know I've put myself in the hospital again, that's a good idea, Snape."

Snape shut his mouth.

Although he hadn't heard Tahlia speak to him in such a joking tone for a long time, anyone who heard such words would feel embarrassed──

"It can only be Lucius's place," Tahlia continued, looking up, looking straight at Snape. "Please, just ask Lucius to watch over Nigel for a day or two for me..."

Snape was about to say yes, when he found that one of the healers had returned here just now, holding a smoking glass in his hand, and asked Tahlia to drink it, this potion would make her sleep peacefully all night, no matter what How, sleep is only good for her now.

Snape checked the potion carefully first, and after confirming that it was just a normal dreamless potion, he stuffed the glass into Tahlia's hand. "I'll take Nigel over there." He said, while gesturing to Tahlia to drink the potion as soon as possible, he turned around and picked up the sleeping Nigel and the blanket carefully—

He didn't even understand how he could move so lightly unconsciously. He just felt that the child in his arms felt soft when he was hugged, and he could feel Nigel's regular breathing, which made him feel a little impetuous. Gradually leveling off, it never occurred to him that he would be—how should I put it—a child be so drawn to his emotions.

Snape held Nigel in his arms, and even though there were a bunch of mixed questions in his heart, he still focused on Tahlia. After she obediently drank the potion and closed her eyes from sleepiness, Snape started to walk again. into the fireplace.
