[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Sirius walked happily on the streets of London in the early morning. This was the first time he had been in the Muggle world by himself. Although it was still early and there were no people on the street, it did not prevent him from observing the Muggle shops and so on curiously. He and James made an appointment to meet in front of the Leaky Cauldron, when Tahlia would come and take them on the Muggle bus to their house.Breathing the unique smell of London morning, refreshing, unlike the rotten smell at home, he felt that going home to find friends was really the best choice he had ever made in his life.

"Sirius, this way!"

James and Remus, who were already standing in front of the Leaky Cauldron, were waving happily at him—Peter didn't come because he wanted to help his father, so he hurried forward.

"Successful?" James asked as soon as Sirius walked in front of them.

Sirius rolled his eyes. "Would I be here if it didn't work out?" he said. "Tahlia isn't here yet?"

"I knew you were the first to ask Tahlia..." James patted Sirius on the back. "What? I haven't seen her for a few days and miss her?"

"I'm just asking seriously..." Sirius said angrily. "What the hell are you talking about..."

James stopped making trouble, turned his head and saw Remus squatting on the ground, looking at something intently, and asked curiously. "Remus, what are you doing?"

"Huh?" Remus raised his head slightly, and then continued to observe the things on the ground. "Look...these are ants from the Muggle world, how do you think the Muggles let them walk in such a straight line?" He said, looking up at James and the two of them seriously.

"..." Sirius suddenly couldn't decide whether Remus was serious about asking or just asking to punish them. "No, it's just ants... Remus, ants walk like this in both wizarding and Muggle worlds..." he said. "Are you really ignorant or are you pretending to be ignorant?" After praying inwardly for a while, Remus would jump up and say, "Haha, you must have been tricked."

However, after seeing Remus' surprised expression, Sirius suddenly felt that the world was sick. He was Remus, who always studied hard and sometimes followed Tahlia to urge their Remus!Who is going to tell him who this guy is squatting on the ground asking stupid questions...

"Who are you and what did you do to Remus?" James finally asked.

Remus's face was blue and white, and suddenly he realized that he really seemed to ask a stupid question. Fortunately, he also had the experience of living in the Muggle world when he was a child... He carefully recalled why he didn't After carefully looking at the ants at home, why didn't he see ants when he arrived at school... He lowered his head and muttered in a low voice. "Who would be bored staring at ants..."

James and Sirius looked at each other and raised their hands.But should I complain about Remus' common sense or complain about myself doing stupid things like observing ants when I was a child, and then deliberately cutting their team to make them confused for a while, but no matter how much damage they will eventually find The other path can be regarded as one of their special abilities...

At this time, a Muggle bus stopped in front of the stop sign on the opposite street. After the bus left, they saw Tahlia standing under the stop sign. She had obviously seen them and waved to them, sideways Looking at whether there is an oncoming car, he walked towards them.

"Hey, have you been waiting long?" Tahlia said.

"No, we just arrived..." Remus said quickly, trying to make up for the stupid question he had just asked. "That's the Muggle bus?"

Tahlia nods. "Although it's not as fast as the Wizard's Knight Bus, it's still very convenient," she said. "It looks like we can directly catch the bus bound for us from here... that's right," she said when she suddenly thought of something. "Have you exchanged Muggle money?"

The three of them were taken aback for a moment, fortunately they changed into Muggle clothes, but they forgot that the currency used in the Muggle world is different from that in the wizarding world.

Seeing the expressions of the three, Tahlia didn't say anything, she just smiled and said that she was going to help them exchange, and the three quickly took out their wallets and handed them to her. "Wait for me here for a while."

"Where can I change?" James asked.

"Gringotts." With that said, Tahlia walked into the Leaky Cauldron, leaving three people in a daze. They never thought that Gringotts also had the function of exchanging Muggle coins, it was unimaginable There will also be Muggle money stored in it, but after thinking about it, it is probably only such a place where Muggle-born wizards can exchange coins. After all, there is no second bank in the wizarding world, so it cannot Go to Gua Bank to exchange it, it will probably scare all the staff to death.

Soon, Tahlia returned to them and handed them some banknotes. The three of them looked at the paper currency for a while. She explained to them the face value of the banknotes and how to prevent them from being found later. She gave them copper coins, and she explained the conversion between pence and pounds.

"I didn't expect Muggles to use paper as money..." Sirius held up a £50 note in front of his eyes. "Are you not afraid of being copied in large numbers by someone?"

"No." Tahlia smiled. "Don't underestimate these banknotes, ordinary people really can't copy them casually." She said. "It should be said... Even if ordinary people fake it, you can find it different if you look carefully..."

"...Amazing..." Sirius murmured.

Soon, the four got on the bus, and Talhia stopped James who wanted to throw the £10 note into the toll box in time. "Wait, the bus doesn't give change...the denominations in your hands are too big..." she said. "Let me vote for you first, you go find a seat..." As he said, he pushed the three of them to the back, and he paid for the ticket himself, and then took four small slips of paper and handed three of them to the The three who were waiting behind.

"Where are we going first?" Remus asked.

"Come to my house first," Tahlia said. "It was past eleven o'clock when we got there, first go to my house for lunch...then we can go to the beach..."

"Beach!" James was about to jump up excitedly, but was pressed helplessly by Remus beside him.

Tahlia was puzzled. "Have you ever been to the beach?" Then, not only James, but also Sirius shook his head slowly.

"How did you go to Remus?" Sirius asked in surprise to Remus who was not at all excited.

Remus shrugged. "When we were young, we often moved and lived close to the sea, so my mother often took me to play in the sand..."

"Why do you keep moving?" James asked, freeing Remus's hand from his shoulder.

"...uh... because my father often writes articles on the study of dark creatures, so for the convenience of writing... we also follow him around."

"Ah, your father is Lyall Lupine!" Tahlia exclaimed in surprise, then tapped her forehead. "I should have thought of that..." Lupine is not a very common last name after all...

"Have you ever heard of my father?" Remus asked confused.

This time Tahlia almost jumped up excitedly, but was pressed in time by Sirius at the side. "Of course I have! I have read many articles written by your father!" She said with a glowing face. "He really knows very, very well about dark creatures! I read a lot of papers he wrote in the early days..." She showed a regretful expression when she said this. "It's a pity that no matter how I searched, I didn't see his new work... It seems that I suddenly don't want to write..."

"Don't want to write?"

"Well, the last article I saw was from 1965, and it hasn't been since..." Tahlia's voice trailed off, and she thought she knew why Remus' father stopped writing, probably around that year, Remus was bitten by a werewolf, right?He was...five years old!If it was her, if her family were tortured like this, she probably wouldn't have the energy to take care of other things. If she knew who bit Remus, she would definitely make him pay the price... Thinking of this, she clenched her fists. "Anyway," she coughed lightly. "Remus, your father was a very powerful man..."

Remus nodded quickly, obviously amused to hear compliments on his father from others.

On the next journey, the four of them chatted as usual, and the time seemed to pass very quickly. It didn't take long for Tahlia to see the indicator approaching Dover outside the window. "We're almost there," she said, pointing out the window. "Look! Over there is the sea..."

"Wow..." James and Sirius immediately squeezed to the window and looked at the sea view outside the window in amazement. "It feels endless..."

Tahlia chuckled. "How can there be no end..." she said. "If you take a boat from here and keep going, you will arrive in France in a short time."

James turned his head sharply. "That close?"

"Originally, there is only a strait between here and the European continent. It looks very close on the map...you don't know?...Forget it, it seems that you really don't know..." Tahlia looked at the two people. It was a somewhat dull expression, and he gave up explaining.

"...Hogwarts didn't teach this." Sirius rubbed his head sheepishly.

Tahlia suddenly wondered what they had learned before going to Hogwarts. "Who taught you to read before you went to Hogwarts?"

James thought about it. "Sirius and I were both taught by someone at home..." Sirius nodded aside. "But in a normal family, the parents should teach it themselves... How about you, Remus?"

"Huh? I went to elementary school for a short time, but then my mother taught me because I moved too often..." Remus said.

Tahlia nodded knowingly. "No wonder..." She found that the preschool education in the wizarding world seems to have serious problems. Most of them just let the children know how to read, and they don't let them learn other knowledge. In comparison, the Muggle education The teaching in elementary school is very comprehensive, maybe the wizarding world should also learn from this advantage?

"Ah, we're here!" Tahlia saw the stop sign ahead and hurriedly rang the bell.

After the bus came to a complete stop, the four handed back the small slips of paper and got off the bus one file at a time.

James took a deep breath. "I think I smell the sea!"

"Come on." Sirius gave James a push, causing him to almost hit a utility pole by the side of the road. "And how do you know what the sea tastes like?"

James, who was thinking of protesting Sirius' actions, was stopped by his words, and was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Haha, James is actually right." Tahlia said with a smile. "You can really smell the sea here..." He led them into a small supermarket.

Seeing the puzzled expressions of the three of them, she explained. "My brother said to buy something to drink and go back." She stood in front of the drink cabinet and asked. "What do you want to drink?" She glanced at the three people who had been dazzled by the dazzling array of drinks, and directly reached for a few bottles of soda. "Drink and watch this, I don't think there is such a drink in the wizarding world..."

"What is this?" Remus asked after taking it.

"Soda," Tahlia replied.

Several people took the drinks and paid the bill. After walking out of the supermarket, James couldn't wait to open the bottle cap. Bubbles gushed out instantly with a puff, splashing his hands all over. "Oh! What is this..."

Tahlia laughed, handed the handkerchief to James, and demonstrated unscrewing the bottle cap. "When you open the soda, you have to be slow. If you unscrew it all at once, it will be like James just now..."

"Don't tell me sooner." James was crying. Although he dried it with a handkerchief, his whole hand became sticky and uncomfortable.

"Who told you to turn it away?" Sirius said indifferently, while tilting his head back and gulping down the soda that had been safely opened. "Ahem..." It was the first time he drank soda, he coughed a few times because of the bubbles in the liquid, Merlin, what kind of weird drink is this...

James looked at Sirius gloatingly. "Still talking about me..." Sirius glared at him.

Tahlia looked at them both helplessly. "Can't you just drink it slowly like Remus did?" she said. "It tastes good if you drink it slowly..." She also took a sip herself, savoring the cool, spicy, spicy and sweet taste.Although it is winter, soda is delicious no matter what time of year it is.
