[HP] Can you be gentle with me

"Sirius, you should know that we have no objection to you being friends with that girl." Walburga said flatly, as if the previous letter from home never happened.

Sirius cursed to himself, but waited quietly for his mother to continue.

"That girl does have her advantages, and your original choice was not wrong." She said. "Perhaps your relationship is not bad?"

"If not having any contact at all is a good relationship in your eyes, then yes." Sirius retorted in a bad tone.

"Sirius, watch your manners!" Orion snapped.

Walburga took a deep breath, and rarely scolded him. "Sirius, we hope you can at least mend some things with that girl."

Sirius couldn't control his temper anymore, stood up abruptly, and his volume doubled. "Don't you think it's late now?" he added sarcastically after a pause. "Mother?"

"Sit down, Sirius."

"Oh, no, of course I shouldn't be sitting down. Did you tell me to stand up again as soon as I sat down?" he said loudly. "After all, I'm never allowed to say no to your decisions, right? I have to do what you want me to do! Or do you think it's easy to reconnect with someone who has broken up?"

"Sit down!" Orion snarled, then realized his gaffe, calmed down for a while, and then spoke again, this time less emotionally. "Please sit down, Sirius."

Sirius sat down reluctantly, looking at his parents angrily.

"We know it's not easy, but for the sake of the family, you have to try your best," Walburga said. "The girl should be honored to have Black willing to be friends with that type of person..."

"That kind of person?" Sirius got angry again, couldn't help but yelled at his mother again, and couldn't care about the consequences of doing so. "What the hell did Tahlia do to you? Besides, she doesn't care about the bloody Black family—"

"Shut your mouth!" Walburga trembled with anger. "How dare you—how dare you talk about our noble family like that! Those little devils influenced you! Yes, it must be! Let's see what kind of friends you hang out with—"

"I'm not going to shut up! James and they are great friends! So is Tahlia! But you told me to distance yourself from her!" Sirius stood up excitedly again, this time knocking the chair behind him away. "I never cared about this Black Glory, in my eyes these are dogs at all──"

"Sirius Black!" Walburga roared uncontrollably, drew out his wand and pointed it at Sirius. "I will clean up your unscrupulous child for the ancestors now! Bella is right, it is the Mudblood──"

"Oh, so Bella told you!" Sirius didn't show any fear, but puffed out his chest. "You guys wanted me to break up with Tahlia after hearing what Bella said, right? Then you regretted it for some reason! Maybe you should ask Bella, why did you give you wrong information in the first place──"

"You! You—" Walburga yelled hysterically, but he could only utter a few words, obviously very angry.

"Walburga!"

Orion stepped forward quickly, pressed his wife's magic wand, and said flatly. "Sit down first, you two, calm down. Sirius, set the chairs up." Seeing that Sirius didn't intend to move, he said a little more forcefully. "sit down."

Orion didn't speak until the two finally regained their composure and sat down. "Malfoy has publicly stated their attitude towards that... that girl."

Sirius didn't speak. He knew that the little Malfoy was interested in Tahlia, but he was a little puzzled how even the big Malfoy knew about her.

"They have made it clear that this girl has her special qualities. Previously, we only unilaterally believed Bella's report and asked you to cut off contact with her. We didn't think clearly first."

"Orion, we—"

Orion's look made Walburga, who wanted to continue defending himself, shut up.

"At the moment when Malfoy has already expressed his opinion, if we Black continue to struggle with her mud...Muggle-born is obviously very inappropriate." Orion said flatly. "So, Sirius, for Black's sake, please try to repair your relationship with that girl." There was a pause. "I think you should hope so too?"

Sirius bowed his head, what should he say, that he didn't listen to his parents from the beginning and broke up with Tahlia and instead pretended to deceive them together?Isn't this self-inflicted...

"I see." In the end, he chose to go with the flow. "I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee it." Although in fact it had already succeeded, I added a sentence silently in my heart.

Orion nodded. "Now, I think you need to apologize to your mother."

"What?" Sirius looked up, his expression full of disbelief.

"Yelling at your mother is not a good behavior for a son." He said lightly.

Sirius swore that he would never apologize for speaking for Tahlia just now. It was his mother who insulted her first. If he really apologized, wouldn't he be admitting his mother's words?

"No!" He quickly stood up and ran directly to the door. "forever!"

And before Walburga had time to get angry again, the door of the room was closed before his eyes, and Sirius also disappeared outside the door.

"Orion! Look what a son we all have!" Walburga said angrily.

Orion sighed.

Black men of the same generation as him include Alphard and Cygnus. He has become the most powerful man in the Black family, just because he and his wife have two sons. Daughter, originally the couple loved the eldest son very much, but as he grew up day by day, his personality became more and more rebellious, and he often clashed with them, which made him more and more headache. In contrast, Regulus Much more well-behaved.

Maybe it's time to give up Sirius and focus on growing Regulus instead?

Orion rubbed his temples.

Because he ordered Sirius to stay away from the girl impulsively after hearing Bella's words, but it didn't take long to find out that the adult had a good impression of the girl. Xin's eldest son, if he knew this earlier, shouldn't he just let go of all this and travel around like Alphard, after all Cygnus is also very capable...

Glancing at his wife next to him, Orion shook his head and quickly drove this thought out of his head. Walburga would not be willing. She is definitely the person who values ​​the glory of Black the most in the whole family. How could she let herself leave the family and leave? ?

"At least he hasn't done anything humiliating to the family so far."

"Sirius, it's time to start eating." Tahlia's voice sounded in his ears, and Sirius came back to his senses, and sure enough, he found that there was a sumptuous amount of food on the big dinner plate.

After he put a lot of food on a small plate, he pushed it in front of Tahlia.

Tahlia was speechless. "Sirius, I can't eat this."

"Of course you can eat it." Sirius said as a matter of course, took another small plate and began to pack his own food. "You really grow too slowly... When we first met, you were as tall as my shoulders. Seriously, are you growing taller?"

"Of course!" Some said angrily.Of course she has grown taller, it's just that she grows... a little slower. "That's because you guys grow up too fast..."

"Anyway, you should eat more."

"I also think you should eat more, Tahlia." Snape, who had been silent all along, spoke up. "You said you can't waste food."

"........."

If it wasn't for the bad relationship between Sirius and Snape, Tahlia would have thought that the two had teamed up. Sirius was in charge of serving up a large plate of food, and then Snape told himself not to waste it. No, how could they do this for such a thing? Little things become amicable?Are they so compatible?

It was not her fault that she was not tall. With a sigh, Tahlia picked up the knife and fork resignedly, and began to fight against the food.

Finally, after the dinner was over, Tahlia felt that she had difficulty walking now, and her stomach must be chubby. Fortunately, the school robes are very wide, so she couldn't grow taller after eating like this, but she kept gaining weight.. ...Thinking of this, she decided to absolutely stop Sirius's horrible act of adding food in the future.

When we arrived at the living room, Regulus had already been brought into the dormitory by the current prefect. The prefect this year was not Lucius, but he was the chairman of the male students. In fact, it was not surprising at all. Only Lucius is the most qualified in the school.

He was partnered with a female student from Revenclaw, and it seemed that Lucius had no problem with that, Tahlia thought silently, anyway, except for partnering with Gryffindor, he was always acting indifferent.

But since Lucius was mentioned, it happened that she was still wondering about their high-profile interaction with her.

"Sirius, when will Narcissa and I—"

"Tahlia, when will Malfoy and you—"

The two spoke at the same time, were also taken aback at the same time, and then laughed out loud.

"You ask first." Tahlia said with a smile. "What do you say about Lucius?"

"Since when did you know Malfoy so well?"

Tahlia looked around to make sure no one else was paying attention to them before speaking. "Last year I asked Lucius to teach me how to actually use magic, uh... like a duel."

Sirius opened his mouth in surprise. "So, so you used to disappear often to-"

"Train in the Room of Requirement."

"But, why?" Sirius was puzzled, in his perception, Tahlia already knew a lot of things, there was no need to learn anything from Malfoy, besides, who knew what that Malfoy taught her...

"Because it's necessary." Tahlia said flatly. "Do you remember that Halloween night last year? Although I seemed to know a lot of spells, before you came back, I would have been defeated if Severus hadn't helped me." There was a pause. "Then I realized that just being able to cast spells is not enough, I have a lot to learn."

"But why Malfoy—"

"Because he is indeed someone in this school who can teach me, and he didn't target me like other Slytherin students." Tahlia interrupted Sirius' question with a hand. "I said, I don't judge a man because of his family, do I?"

Sirius thought hesitantly.

"Besides, Mr. Malfoy also invited me to Malfoy Manor for a few days during the summer vacation. I think they have no ill intentions towards me..."

"You went to Malfoy Manor during your summer vacation?" Sirius exclaimed.

Now there is no need for him to ask.

This story must have spread among the pureblood families, so that the parents who heard the news would not need to alienate Tahlia anymore.

Everyone knew that Malfoy was the man's most valued subordinate, and since he dared to invite Tahlia, it must have been acquiesced by the man...

but why?

Sirius frowned.

What exactly do they want from Tahlia?

"Yeah, Lucius told me on the train, I think that's when Remus overheard our conversation." Tahlia didn't notice Sirius's frown, and continued. "He said Mr. Malfoy had a good impression of me... Sirius, are you listening?"

Seeing Sirius's fugue, Tahlia waved his hand in front of his eyes.

"Tahlia." Sirius started, but the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't make a sound.

What should he say?

Tahlia had said earlier that he would not judge a person by his family, and Malfoy had indeed done nothing wrong with Tahlia now, but he still had a vague feeling that there was something wrong with it.

Damn he really hated the feeling of not knowing how to warn Tahlia!

"What?" Tahlia looked at him confused.

He opened and closed his mouth a few times, and in the end, he decided to observe for a while longer, and then bring the evidence directly to Tahlia after he caught the handle on that Malfoy, and believed that she would make a judgment by then.

"Promise me, be careful of the Malfoys."

silence.

Tahlia lowered her head and thought for a long time before looking at Sirius again. "I promise you."
