[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Billy didn't come home until the rest of them were almost done eating.

The food was almost bottomless, Billy said he was bullied, but was ignored by everyone.

"I still want to eat it and cook it myself!" Hamish blurted out, momentarily forgetting the disaster Josh had reminded him not long ago.

Seeing that Billy was really walking towards the kitchen, he remembered it suddenly. "Wait, Billy!" He rushed forward, entered the kitchen one step ahead of Billy, and sighed ventriloquically. "Forget it, what do you want to eat..."

Billy was still stunned. "I'm just going to pour water..." he said, before breaking into a smile. "But since you're going to do it, I'll have a tuna sandwich."

"........."

Josh and others suddenly discovered how to ask Hamish for the food they want to eat, and it seems to be very effective...

Just pretend to cook for yourself.

Looking at Hamish who was sighing and satisfying Billy's big appetite, Tahlia began to feel sorry for the youngest brother...

Snape watched Tahlia interacting with her brothers with some envy, a scene that would never have happened in his own home.

No, he never expected that.

He didn't care about such a father at all. Whether it was beating his mother because of her status as a witch, or being idle and drinking all day long, all these were enough to prove that his father was just a memory in his life, and it would fade away after a long time. Being forgotten is not as precious as memories, he doesn't need such things as family.

So why envy Tahlia?

He just needs to make sure that no one can bully him anymore.

"Hey, Severus." Tahlia's voice sounded. "Wait, any plans?"

Snape recovered himself and shook his head. "And you?"

"Me? Let me think about it..." Thalia pondered for a moment, then spoke cheerfully. "I want to write my homework first, do you want to go together?"

"........."

"Severus?"

"Okay." Snape reluctantly agreed.

After all, it is absolutely beneficial to finish the homework first.However, I had a headache thinking of McGonagall's long metamorphosis paper... I couldn't help but frown.

"Don't worry, don't worry about the Transfiguration homework." Immediately judging Snape's inner troubles, Tahlia smiled. "I am here!"

Mimi continued to talk with a smile. "I even borrowed some reference books, I think they will be useful."

Snape was completely speechless.

So they spent a few days staring at their homework. If it was James who came, they would definitely be wailing, but fortunately, this person is Snape now, and his leisure time is mostly static activities, unlike Sirius. He and James wandered around the castle all day long, so he wouldn't feel dull after several days of quietness.

He almost felt that it would be good to live like this.

But he immediately dismissed this idea, he just had to make those who looked down on him pay a painful price, for this purpose, he could give up everything else.

The only one that went beyond plan was Tahlia.

He looked up at Tahlia who was flipping the pages of the book with great interest.

Where did this girl suddenly appear?

First, he kept swaying beside him, and then he discovered that he did not reject her touch. He wanted to stay away from her, but he was in a bad mood. He was too close and felt that this emotion was too strange. Normal him.

What the hell was he supposed to do with Tahlia?

However, Tahlia had a good relationship with Malfoy, maybe she had the same purpose as herself?So it doesn't matter if you let yourself get in touch with this girl who is not in the plan now, right?

"what!"

Tahlia yelped suddenly, causing Snape to bounce slightly in fright.

"how?"

"Sorry." With an apologetic smile, Tahlia rubbed the back of her head. "Forgot to tell you, I sent a letter to Lucius earlier to inform Lucius of my visit to their manor, and asked them if you could come with me—well, they didn't explicitly say no, but—" She looked at Snape, Some hesitated to speak. "It sounds inconvenient..."

"You...you asked?"

Snape opened his mouth in astonishment, stuttering again.

I didn't expect Tahlia to ask this directly, but in this way, he must have been rejected.

"Yeah." Tahlia nodded and agreed. "I promised, didn't I?"

"I—so I can't go?" He swallowed, and confirmed again.

"I think that's what it means," Tahlia said, pulling out the stationery and reading. "That's what was written in the letter--Tahlia, regarding the little Mr. Snape you mentioned, although Malfoy Manor is not unable to accommodate one more person, but it is the Christmas holiday and there are many guests in the manor, so I am afraid that there will be a lot of inconvenience. Think twice..." She stopped reading. "Uh, sorry..." she said. "I thought they would say yes."

After all, they had let the Muggle-born her go, and there was no reason not to let the half-blood Snape go.

She thought it was too simple, she didn't know the real reason why Abraxas would let Tahlia go to Malfoy Manor, and how could he let a half-blood wizard go to their house without the lord's order?Especially since this half-blood wizard is still a student.

"Severus, I'm really sorry…"

"Why do you apologize?" Snape asked flatly.

"what?"

Snape shrugged. "You have done what you promised me, and it's not your fault that they refused, but it's just that I don't have the ability to contact them at the moment, so you don't need to apologize." He glanced at Tahlia. "Can't you even figure out such a simple thing? Your mind is tied up?"

Tahlia is pissed.

She was just worried that Snape would be disappointed because he was so desperate for Lucius' favor, that's all.

But look at how he responds to himself.

Reluctantly opened his mouth. "Severus, can you speak less harshly?" She closed the book and got up to put it back on the shelf. "If Lucius really finds you in the future, will you still talk to him like this?"

Snape froze, shaking his head quickly.

"It's okay," Tahlia said. "I'm just talking, I know you don't mean anything - you've always known it." She smiled and was about to walk out of the study. "Otherwise I wouldn't be talking to you all the time."

Snape was even more stupefied after hearing this, she said that she always believed that she was harmless?What did she base her judgment on?He obviously didn't show any emotions that were not 'malicious', could this be the reason why she kept pestering her...

"where are you going?"

After recovering, he found that Tahlia was about to walk out the door, so he subconsciously asked.

"Shower." Tahlia smiled mischievously. "Do I even have to report to you for taking a bath? To put it simply, I'm not your pet—"

"Absolutely not." Snape replied coldly. "you think too much."

Tahlia laughed, not paying attention to Snape's response, and walked out of the study, closing the door behind her.

Since she discovered how to get along with Snape, she became more and more familiar with it, just like just now, although Snape responded coldly, she swore she would definitely see his red ears.

After confirming that Tahlia closed the door and went out, Snape showed an embarrassed expression, angrily grabbed another book and started to read it, and then was angry at himself for grabbing a book about transfiguration just like that...

Annoyed, he simply threw the book on the side table, let it go and started to be in a daze.

So when Tahlia returned to the study after taking a shower, she saw Snape sitting on the small sofa with her mouth slightly open, staring at Snape in front of her, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Snape turned around sharply at the sound of laughter.

"Uh, no…" Tahlia pulled back her expression. "You... were you in a daze just now?"

Snape was silent.

"...Okay." Tahlia spread her hands. "I know what you want to say. If there is no regulation, you can't be in a daze, right?"

Snape's face darkened in an instant, he stood up straight away, left the sentence 'I'm going to take a shower' and walked out of the room in a gust of wind.

"Hey, don't be angry, Severus!" Tahlia quickly opened the door and chased after him. "I'm kidding, hey, Severus!"

He was answered by a loud slamming door upstairs.

The joke went too far...

Tahlia smiled wryly, but it was worth it to see Snape in a daze just now.

A few days later, it was the day when Tahlia was going to Malfoy Manor. During this holiday, Lucius called her mainly because he wanted her to attend a banquet, so she picked a day before the banquet to visit and stayed there until the banquet Go home the day after.

Fortunately, during the summer vacation, Lucius took himself to the robe shop in Diagon Alley to buy some good quality banquet robes, otherwise she would have to wear school robes to attend again, which she didn't care much about, but it was hosted by Mr. Malfoy You can't lose face at such a banquet.

I have always felt guilty for not being able to bring Snape to Tahlia. I invited him to my home, but I went to someone else's home and left him alone in my own home. Anyone would be embarrassed, let alone someone else. How could Snape get along with people.

But Snape himself didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Wherever Tahlia went was out of his concern. Ordinary people might feel embarrassed staying in someone else's house, but from his point of view, he never felt that way. That kind of thing, he doesn't care what other people think of him anyway.

Maybe that's how the misunderstanding came about...

Snape suddenly wondered why Tahlia is still amiable no matter what harsh words she unconsciously said in the past few days, although in the past she would not get angry because of her harsh words, but recently...how should I put it , Recently, she seems to be accommodating herself unconditionally.

This morning, Tahlia packed her light luggage, held the Portkey Abraxas had given her in one hand, and opened the study door. Not surprisingly, she saw Snape inside who was about to read a book.

smile at him. "Severus, I'm leaving, these few days you-uh, you can read all the books in my study."

Snape nodded, casually took a book and sat on the sofa to read it, thought for a while, and spoke again. "See you in three days."

"Well, goodbye." Said, walked downstairs.

Hamish didn't have to go to the restaurant today, he was sitting in his living room reading the newspaper, and looked up from the newspaper when he heard Tahlia coming downstairs.

"Going to the senior's house?"

"Yeah." Tahlia replied.

"The same way as last time?" Hamish asked with great interest.

Tahlia handed Hamish the Portkey.

"Different items from last time, but in the same way," she said.

Hamish studied the badge carefully for a moment, murmuring. "This is really amazing..."

"Okay, Hamish." Tahlia smiled, taking the badge back. "I'm really going over there."

Suddenly thought of something again. "Tell Josh they don't bully Severus."

Hamish was speechless.

Although I wouldn't target that Snape boy, how could I tell my brothers not to do that? Tahlia has left a big problem for herself, and I feel a headache when I think about it...

Even so, he nodded, forget it, he will try his best...

Tahlia was relieved to get Hamish's assurance, at least even if she couldn't completely stop Josh and the others from bullying Snape, Hamish would help a little, so that when she returned home, she wouldn't find that Snape had run away in anger.

"See you in three days then," she said.

After inputting the magic power, she felt her navel hooked again, and the next second she was standing in Malfoy Manor, but this time it was not the room she was in when she arrived last time.

In this room, it seems that there is not enough light──

Her eyes hadn't adapted to the darkness, and before she could see clearly, an unusually soft voice came.

"Ah, Miss Watson, we were talking about you..."
