[HP] Can you be gentle with me

The days at school really flew by, and before he knew it, Nigel was completely used to being a Hufflepuff student.

He lives a full life every day. After class, he will go to the library to look for Harry and the others. If they haven't arrived, he will take a seat for them first, and then they will happily do their homework. , this is really great, Harry and the others are already in fourth grade, no matter what question he asks, they can almost answer him very quickly.

Especially Hermione!

Nigel almost thought she had read all the books in the library!She really felt like Tahlia to him, they had too many similarities.

They were both Muggle-born, excellent, and their obsession with learning was very similar. No wonder Tahlia remembered the girl Hermione in particular.

After finishing their homework, they would go to the hall to have dinner together, and then they would go back to their colleges. At this time, Nigel would happily take a lot of books and sit down near Cedric and start reading, even though he was surrounded by He didn't feel awkward even if he was a senior student. It should be said that they all welcomed him to join. Even if he didn't know as much as them, they wouldn't reject him from asking some simple and deadly questions in their eyes.

Hogwarts is really wonderful!

correct!And Fred and George!

Nigel will play with them almost every weekend. He has been very interested in the twins' ideas from before and now. They always have all kinds of novel ideas, and even he was brought along with them Try a whole bunch of fun experiments.

The twins also like to drag Nigel around, and almost want to visit the entire castle. The only disappointment is that they were bumped into in the dark during a certain night tour.

The twins were so frightened that they didn't dare to move. Apparently, even people like the twins, who didn't take school rules seriously, were very afraid of Snape, who was dubbed the worst professor by the whole school.On the contrary, Nigel on the side glared at Snape with an indifferent expression of 'the big deal will be deduction of points and confinement'.

Snape frowned tightly, his eyes flicked back and forth between Nigel's puffy face and the twins who looked stiff and wooden.

"Do you know what time it is?" After a while, he asked softly.

Done!

Snape was mad... Fred and George looked at each other and swallowed.If I knew they should have borrowed the invisibility cloak from Harry today...

However, Snape's next words startled them greatly.

"Go back to your dormitory." He said calmly. "Don't let me meet again." After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

Eh?

that's it?

No points deducted?No confinement?Just leave like this?

"Nigel, what did you do..." After a long time, Geroge asked in a daze.

"Huh? What?" Nigel came back to his senses and turned his head. "I didn't do anything..."

"But Snape just left!"

"He didn't deduct points from us!"

"We didn't confine us either—"

"Hmm..." Nigel frowned, staring in the direction Snape was leaving. "He didn't seem to deduct points from me last time."

The twins looked at each other again, and then, they all smiled brightly, as if they understood something at the same time.

"Oh, Nigel—"

"You are our angel—"

"We can't live without you—"

"Follow the brothers from now on, we'll cover you—"

"...Enough, you two!"

Soon, it was the eve of Halloween, and Nigel and his classmates excitedly gathered in front of the gate of Hogwarts Castle after class to welcome the arrival of the other two wizarding schools.

All the students remembered this matter. After all, when they stepped into the hall early in the morning, they found that the representative flags of the four colleges had been hung there, and the professors seemed to be very nervous, always asking the students to wear their uniforms neatly.

"Nigel, you came early."

A voice sounded from behind, Nigel turned around and found that it was Harry and others.

"Well, we'll come right after class," he said, standing slightly aside so Harry and the others could squeeze in.

"I don't know how they will come here..."

"Broomsticks?"

"I don't think so, it's too far—"

Hearing Harry and the others talking behind him, Nigel couldn't help feeling curious, besides, it was already six o'clock, so they should appear soon.

As if responding to Nigel's thoughts, following a student's exclamation, everyone's attention moved in the direction of the student's finger.

It was just a small black spot at first, and then the black spot gradually enlarged...

"Oh, Merlin!"

It's a carriage!

A carriage pulled by several huge flying horses!

Nigel opened his mouth involuntarily.If only Tahlia could be here... no, wait...

His heart sank uncontrollably.

Tahlia can't see this, even if she's here now, she can't see this—

Compared with Nigel's sudden depression, the high and excited emotions of the rest of the students obviously formed a sharp contrast.

A hand was placed on the shoulder suddenly, Nigel turned his head and saw a head of brilliant golden hair. "Draco?"

"What's wrong with you?" Draco asked in a low voice, leaning closer. "unhappy?"

Nigel froze for a moment, then shook his head. "No."

Draco chuckled. "Why not? Nigel...Your emotions are written all over your face──" So he wasn't really surprised that Nigel would be sorted into Hufflepuff, he was never good at hiding his inner emotions. "Because of... Tahlia?" he ventured a guess.

Unexpectedly, when he said this, Nigel's reaction immediately confirmed his random guess, which surprised him. "Merlin's beard! Is it really because of Tahlia?"

"What do you mean?" Harry also seemed to have been attracted, and joined their conversation. "Draco, what do you say about Tahlia?"

"You'll have to ask Nigel about that." Draco shrugged. "Look at him..."

Harry took a few steps forward, and sure enough, he saw Nigel's stern face. "How's Tahlia?"

"She's fine..." Nigel lowered his head and muttered softly. "I just wish she could be here too, to watch this with us—"

Several people also fell silent.

yes……

How nice would it be if Tahlia was here too?

Sensing that Harry and the others were inexplicably in a bad mood, Hermione felt a little strange, but she still didn't ask anything, and only pushed them when a big boat suddenly appeared in the middle of the lake. "Hey, Durmstrang's students are here too."

After a while, a group of people disembarked from the boat, the leader at the front was almost as tall as Dumbledore, and he greeted him in a familiar way before he reached the full distance.

"That's Igor Karkaroff," Draco whispered to them. "Father said he always wanted to come to our house..."

"To your house?" Nigel blinked, glanced again at the man with the goatee, and quickly classified him as unlikable. "Why?"

Draco looked disdainful. "Of course it's because he wanted to curry favor with my father! But he thought well, Malfoy wouldn't hang out with someone like him..."

In the middle of speaking, Draco was interrupted by the crowd who suddenly roared. Several people couldn't help but look forward. It was okay not to look, but when they saw it, they—except Nigel and Hermione—were all excited.

"It's Krum!" Ron grabbed Harry's arm and looked like he was going to jump. "Harry! Look! It's Krum!"

Draco didn't cry out, but his slightly flushed cheeks from jumping around wouldn't lie.

"Who is he?" Nigel asked suddenly.

There was a sudden silence all around.

All the students turned their heads and stared at Nigel who asked this sentence with strange expressions, as if it was incredible that he said this.

Nigel was looked a little embarrassed and looked embarrassed. "Uh... well, I guess he's famous?"

"Of course he's famous! He's the greatest Seeker in the world!" Ron yelled excitedly, completely forgetting that not only had Nigel not been to the World Cup, but he'd never been very interested in Quidditch. "How is it possible that you haven't heard of him?"

And his volume was obviously too loud, and Karkaroff, who just walked to them and hooked Krum's shoulder, turned his head, and his eyes fell on Nigel like the students around him who also looked unbelievable, perhaps wanting to see what happened Where did the child come from that he has never even heard the name of the world-renowned star student he is most proud of.

How could Nigel be so dull that he couldn't even feel such an obvious look with contempt, he didn't immediately answer Ron's words, but raised his head and stared back at Karkaroff not to be outdone.

"It's just a Quidditch player, no big deal." He glared at Karkaroff, speaking in a deliberately loud and slow voice, as if answering Ron's words, but actually speaking to Karkaroff on purpose Listen.

Expected Karkaroff to point his nose at him angrily and blame him, but he didn't.To Nigel's surprise, Karkaroff only frowned for the first few seconds, but then, he laughed and pulled Krum past Krum, who couldn't hide his surprise at what Nigel had just said.

"Hahaha, did you hear that, Viktor?" His laughter sounded like something was stuck in his throat, which sounded very uncomfortable. "The kid said you're just a player and it's no big deal..."

Krum was stunned for a while, and then murmured something in non-standard English. "Wo is really a player..." Then he unconsciously saw the black-haired boy standing beside Nigel, with a faint scar on his forehead. "Harry Potter?" He asked uncertainly, his eyes widened a bit. "You are Harry Potter?"

Harry didn't expect Krum to speak to him suddenly, and was momentarily stunned. "What?"

"Wo saw your scar." Krum took a few steps forward, Karkaroff didn't stop him from doing so, after all he himself was a little surprised to see Harry Potter in this situation.

Still a little unresponsive, Harry said in a daze. "Oh, yes... I'm Harry Potter." Then he held Krum's offered hand absently.

Ron was clearly envious of that.

"And you are?" Krum turned his head to look at Nigel after letting go of Harry's hand.He is equally interested in this funny kid.

"Nigel." Nigel blinked, and then realized that he didn't dislike the big boy in front of him who didn't have the slightest airs. "My name is Nigel..." He paused, then added reluctantly. "Nigel Snape—"

"Snape?" Karkaroff exclaimed, suspicious. "You said your name was...Snape?" Nigel's expression darkened again for a moment. "What's your relationship with...you and Severus Snape?"

Nigel was even more unhappy.

It's like this every time, whenever he says his name, someone asks him that question...

He just hates it.

Thinking about it, he spoke bluntly.

"It doesn't matter at all, sir." At the same time, he clenched his fists angrily.

They have nothing to do with each other!Absolutely not!
