[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Tahlia led the three to the front of her house, opened the door and shouted inside. "Brother! I'm back!"

"It's time to eat." Hamish's voice came from the room.

"Wait for me..." Tahlia said to the three.

She poked her head into the kitchen and found Hamish wearing an apron, busy bringing dishes to the table, and hurried forward to take a plate. "What about the rest?"

Hamish said helplessly. "The few of them have been yelling about your friend coming this morning, saying that there is not enough food at home, and they just went out to shop again..." He said, looking at the clock on the wall. "...But I should be back soon."

"I'll take them upstairs to put their luggage first, and I'll be down in a while." Tahlia put the plate on the dining table and said.

"Okay," Hamish said. "Is it okay for them to share one room together? You know... that's the guest room?" His plan was that if that didn't work, he could go downstairs to squeeze with any brother and let them sleep in his room.

"Should be fine," Tahlia said.The vacant room at home was so big that it almost occupied the entire fourth floor. Tony had been asking her to move in, but she didn't want to because she had to climb an extra flight of stairs. There was also a small storage room on the fourth floor, and Both Tahlia's room and Hamish's are on the third floor. Because of her interest in studying, Hamish converted another small room on the third floor into a study room so that she can go in and read at any time. I have to say that although they are only It has only been three years since I moved here, but the accumulated collection of books inside is already considerable. Billy took the room on the first floor because he was too lazy to climb the stairs, so Josh and Tony shared the entire second floor together, and they often joked that they could only pick up empty rooms that other people didn't want.

She walked back to the corridor in front of the door and motioned for the three to follow her. "I'll take you upstairs to your room first, you should be able to share one room together?" she asked. "Because there is only one guest room in our house, so..."

"It's okay," Sirius said quickly. "Anyway, James and I used to share a room when we were kids..."

James followed Sirius and rolled his eyes, of course Sirius was okay, he always slept well, because no one could hear him snoring... He looked at Remus behind, um, Look at how well Remus sleeps and doesn't snore...

Sensing James' gaze, Remus smiled at him, but sighed helplessly in his heart, remembering that he forgot to wear earplugs when he came here, he couldn't sleep because of James snoring every day when he first started school, and later Urgent mail-ordered super-powerful earplugs to finally be able to sleep well, hoping Sirius won't snore...

"Here we are." They stopped in front of a room on the fourth floor.

Tahlia pushed open the door and walked in first, and the three of them also stepped into the room one after another. There was a large double bed inside, and a small camp bed brought by Josh was placed next to it. "The bathroom is over there." She pointed to a door next to her. "Do you need toothbrush towels or anything?" she asked.

Remus shook his head. "I have it." Sirius and James also dug out their own toothbrushes from the luggage and waved them at Tahlia.

"Tahlia!" came a shout from downstairs, and it must have been Billy.

"Here we come!" Tahlia yelled, sticking her head out of the door, and then turned to the three of them. "Let's go, it seems that my brother and the others are back."

"James, you say you and Remus are...Gryffindor?"

At the dining table, the four adults and four children had already settled most of the food. When they went downstairs just now, Tahlia had introduced the three of them to her brothers, and also said that their college was different from hers and Sirius.

"Yes." James swallowed the fish in his mouth before speaking. "We will wear a hat when we are sorted, and he can decide which college we belong to based on our character."

"Well, Tahlia has the traits of the four houses she told us about..." Josh nodded. "But I think Sirius has a similar personality to yours. Why is he in Slytherin?"

Sirius almost spit out a mouthful of food and hastily explained. "Josh, our family is all sorted into Slytherins."

"Family is also the standard of classification?" Tony asked in surprise.

Not really, Sirius thought silently. "Not exactly, but somewhat affected..."

Tony nodded knowingly, did not continue to ask, but spoke to Tahlia. "By the way, Tahlia, the characteristics of your house that you mentioned in your last letter, we still don't quite understand after we discussed it. What kind of children are you in Slytherin?"

Basically, they disdain Muggle blood, discriminate against Muggle blood, hate Muggle blood, hate Muggle blood... Tahlia whispered in her heart, but she knew that the purpose of the old man in Slytheirn was definitely more than that. "Slytherin accepts talented children, and they also have the desire and ambition to achieve something. For this purpose, they are willing to do their best, so Slytherin has produced many great wizards in the past...for example," she suddenly said. After a while, she thought that speaking out would probably scare her three good friends. "The Merlin we believe in in the wizarding world... he himself graduated from Slytheirn."

James opened his mouth wide in shock, and forgot to continue chewing his food. He thought that Tahlia was talking about the man who was making trouble outside, but he didn't expect... Merlin, Merlin who was so respected by them The old man turned out to be from Slytherin!

The expression on the face of Sirius on the side is also very brilliant. Fortunately, he grew up in a family of Slytheirns for generations, but no one knew that Merlin was also a Slytherin. If he had known... Maybe he would not be so repulsive Slytherin, after all, Merlin was so great, and Slytherin was only ruined by the man who came later.

Billy smiled happily at the side. He said earlier that the college that their Tahlia entered must be the best. Sure enough, the old seniors of their college are the great figures they believe in in the wizarding world. Maybe Thalia will become the one they admire in the future. As for the object, at this time, he has already fantasized about several scenes of everyone admiring Tahlia.

Looking at Billy, who was already in a dazed state, Hamish sighed softly. "So, that hat means Tahlia, you're a good fit for Slytherin?" he asked, because he had the impression that Tahlia had mentioned to him that there was a school called Ravenclaw in the school that was just for students. Boy, by the selection criteria of that college, Tahlia should have gotten in there, right? "What about Ravenclaw? Don't they take in kids like you who love to learn?"

"The Sorting Hat has been thinking about it for a long time..." Tahlia said. "But he said that the reason why I love learning deep down in my heart is because I want to get your approval. He said that this is not in line with Ravenclaw's natural love of reading...compared to what I did to achieve my purpose. It's more of a Slytherin effort."

"I see." Not only her three brothers, but even her three best friends finally understood why she was sorted into Slytherin instead of Ravenclaw. It seems that she is indeed a Slytherin, and the Sorting Hat doesn't even care about him. Sorting her into Slytherin for Muggle-born.

"Tahlia."

"Huh?" He was suddenly taken aback by Hamish who spoke to her in a very serious tone.

"We've approved of you." Hamish looked at Tahlia seriously. "After that, no matter what your decision is, your brothers will always support you behind your back." He said.

Tahlia stared blankly at Hamish, unable to say anything for a long time, feeling overwhelmed with emotion, although her fourth brother seldom speaks, but every time she speaks, she feels the warmth from her brothers even more. But today, she felt that if she spoke now, her voice would definitely be choked up. "Hamish..." She uttered a word, her voice was really hoarse...

"Haha, Tahlia." Billy laughed. "Why are you crying?"

Tahlia quickly touched her face, only to realize that it was wet. What happened? She actually cried in front of Sirius and the others!

Looking to the side, I found that the three of them were pretending to be serious about eating food. They took the handkerchief handed over by Billy and wiped it on their faces indiscriminately. After using it, they took a breath through their noses before speaking. "I didn't cry."

The three people who were pretending to eat paused for a moment, but they wisely didn't look up and chose to continue enjoying the food.

Tahlia didn't expect that such a topic of discussing college would open up her tear ducts, what happened to her in the past six months, she always shed tears for no reason, obviously since meeting Snape by the stream...

...Snape. Severus Snape... Severus.

Tahlia found that she missed him, and reunited after three years of separation. Although they didn't speak much at school, they often saw each other. Unknowingly, they got used to turning their heads and seeing that gloomy figure when they were in class. In medicine class, he confidently made potions, in transfiguration class, he swung his wand in frustration but couldn't always succeed, in the room of Response, he always sat on the sofa in the corner and read a book silently, and that night...was exposed On the night when he was a mixed race, his body trembling but standing upright...

I don't know if his father still beat him like before? In that case, Tahlia thought, their trip to Cokeworth was absolutely necessary.

"Tahlia?"

Seeing tears welling up in Tahlia's eyes, the three boys were startled and pretended to be sitting on their own business. First, they didn't want to embarrass her. Second, they really didn't know how to deal with Tahlia who was crying. She said something that was obviously nonsense with her eyes open. After she didn't cry, there was a sudden silence. Even Hamish called her name and didn't get any response. For a while, the three of them were stiff and didn't know how to continue eating. They were about to see each other. Finally, Sirius raised his head slowly and cautiously, but saw Tahlia who was in a daze with a blank face, and three men staring at her suspiciously.

"Tahlia?" Hamish called again.

This time she responded. "Huh? What?" She asked in a daze.

"What did you think of just now? You didn't respond when we called you…" Tony asked.

Only then did Tahlia realize that she had just spent too long remembering Snape, and said hastily. "It's nothing." Looking at the expressions of disbelief on everyone's faces, he bit the bullet and told the truth again. "I thought of Snape..."

"What?!" Sirius and Josh immediately jumped up, then were taken aback, looked at each other and sat down awkwardly.

"Why do you think of him?" Josh asked, as if gnashing his teeth.

"Huh? Because I'm going back to Cokeworth later..." Tahlia said. "I just thought of the time when I was in the same class as Snape..." Thinking of this, she said angrily. "He kicked my rock in the water the first time I met him!"

Everyone was stunned.

Had it turned out that the only thing Tahlia was angry with Snape was when he kicked her rock into the water?
