[HP] Can you be gentle with me

"Tahlia, writing again?"

Having just finished Quidditch training, as soon as Sirius stepped into the living room, he was not surprised to see Tahlia writing something quickly again, frowning tightly.

Tahlia looked up at the sound. "Ah, Sirius! Training is over?"

"Yeah." Sirius nodded. "I'll take a shower first... I'll come find you later."

Tahlia smiles. "I was thinking that in case you don't plan to wash the mud off your body, I'll clean it up for you..."

Sirius shuddered.He didn't want to experience the feeling of being forced to remove the mud from his body by a cleansing spell. Although his body was clean, the astringent and itchy feeling was not at all comfortable. Since that time, Tahlia couldn't stand it. He started to do his homework without washing it, and the homework was covered with mud. After casting a spell on himself, Sirius developed the good habit of taking a shower as the first thing after training.

Tahlia also teased him that he had to be cursed once to learn his lesson...

"Don't be impulsive, am I about to go?" He said with a smile, not daring to stay any longer, and then walked to the dormitory.

Before long, Sirius came back refreshed.

"How's the training going?" Tahlia asked casually, still staring at the parchment.

Sirius sat down across from Tahlia. "It's still the same, damn James...he really got it right, why he always catches the Snitch so quickly, we didn't even have time to break the score—"

Tahlia smiled instead. "James is a great player, and even if we don't win the Quidditch Cup, the House Cup is still ours," she said. "Think about it, how many consecutive terms have we been elected up to the last time?" He said, looking at Sirius with contempt. "But if you deducted less points from us, Revenclaw wouldn't be so close to us. You know they're just a few points away from winning every year?"

Sirius smiled awkwardly. "Hey, but James and the others have been deducted more points."

Tahlia rolled her eyes. "You should be thankful that they deducted a lot, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to win the Academy Cup like this..."

"Haha..." Sirius scratched his head, and Tahlia kept talking about it, he really wanted to find a topic to talk about.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the dense parchment on the table.

"So how many people do you write to?" he asked. "Or did you start writing to that Malfoy guy too?"

"What are you talking about?" Tahlia looked at Sirius suspiciously. "I've always only written letters to that gentleman..." In order to prevent Skylar from being too tired, almost all the letters he sent to his husband now use the school owl, otherwise Skylar would have to go back and forth every day, and she would not I don't want him to get sick from being overworked.

Sirius was ashamed. "You just write him such a long letter every day?"

"I'm studying." Tahlia said seriously.

"You've been studying like this every day for almost two years." Sirius frowned. "Where did that gentleman find so much time to correspond with you?"

Tahlia shrugged. "Come on, next year we will take the OWLs exam. That gentleman really helped me a lot."

Sirius scowled. "Isn't there still one year left? You have to mention it now..." It seems that he has just entered the fourth grade, and people around him are talking to him all day long that he has OWLs to take the exam next year, and there is still one year left! "It seems like everyone is saying that all of a sudden." He lowered his head and muttered.

Smiling, Tahlia wrote the final signature and folded the parchment. "Okay, even if there is one more year, we still have to prepare well, right? After all, there are so many things to test—from our first grade to the present and even the entire fifth grade, it is definitely not enough to prepare in the bright year of."

Time really flies by, Lucius graduated as if it was yesterday, and Tahlia and the others are already fourth graders in the school in a blink of an eye, and the schoolwork is not as easy as it was in the first and second grades, and there are already many difficult contents.

During this period of time, Tahlia and that gentleman’s communication has never been interrupted. That gentleman really knows a lot. The questions she raised have never been seen before, and many of her insights are even more practical than those recorded in books. Tahlia can’t help being curious. Why is such a character not well-known in the magic world?

However, the previous experience is still there. For that gentleman, it is best not to ask non-academic questions, otherwise the consequences may be very serious.

"By the way, have you seen Severus?" Tahlia asked suddenly.

"How could I see him..." Sirius darkened. "Besides, besides in class these days, when have you seen him?"

Tahlia sighed. "Yeah, that's why I wanted to ask you..." she said. "Since Lucius graduated, he has been mysterious, always hiding alone, not knowing what he is researching──"

"What else?" Sirius snorted. "Not just something evil."

Tahlia smiled wryly. "Sirius, are you still targeting him after all this time?"

"Of course, I'll never give up on that," he said. "As far as I know, he's just a greasy-haired, gloomy--"

"Okay." Seeing that Sirius was getting more and more exaggerated, Tahlia quickly stopped, otherwise Snape would probably sulk at herself again if she heard it. "I think he's probably in the Response Room. I have to post a letter. I'll find him by the way. You don't think you want to go with me, do you?"

"I won't go to him even if I kill him." Sirius said, took out a textbook from his backpack, thought for a while and said to Tahlia dogleg. "Tahlia, lend me a reference to your paper, you see, I'm so tired from Quidditch practice, I promise you I won't copy it—"

Tahlia was speechless.

"Come on, it's Hogsmeade Week this weekend! Do you have the heart to make us unable to go because we haven't finished our homework?" Sirius clasped his hands together and was dragged in a low voice, Sirius blinked on purpose, like a puppy looking at its owner Like wagging its tail.

"...Isn't it you who didn't finish the homework..." Tahlia asked helplessly. "What are you guys busy with? Quidditch training is obviously only two nights."

"You knew it!" Sirius protested. "After all, you just drew up the schedule for us not long ago, didn't you?" As he said that, he became excited immediately. "Speaking of which, Tahlia, let me tell you, James and I feel a little bit close to success!"

How could there be any feeling of being close to success... Tahlia spoke, resisting the roll of her eyes. "Well, that's good, how does it feel?"

Sirius replied with a serious expression. "We all sometimes dream that we become animals!"

"..." There was silence for a while. "So, what did you dream you became?"

"I don't know." Sirius frowned. "But it shouldn't be able to fly."

sighed. "Okay, in short, you must pay attention to safety when you practice, and stop immediately if something goes wrong, and I will check it for you—see if such a dream really means something."

Hugged Tahlia happily. "Great! Just knew you were the best, Tahlia!"

"Black! What are you doing!"

An angry voice suddenly came from the entrance.

Sirius turned his head to look, and found that it was Snape. This guy has grown in height over the years, and he can't oppress him at all in terms of height, but──

"Isn't it just a hug? What else can you do?" He said, deliberately slowing down and letting go of Tahlia.

Snape scowled. "Let me remind you that you're not a kid anymore, you really don't mind if Tahlia didn't say anything?"

"Even if she minds," Sirius said seriously. "It's not your turn to tell me."

Tahlia's head hurts again.

She was already powerless to stop the tit-for-tat confrontation between these two people. She had never seen them quarreling for a day in the days of school, and both of them refused to listen to her persuasion and each gave in. It would be better if she was there , if she wasn't there, Tahlia was sure the two would have fought behind her back many times.

"Severus, I have a question for you, are you free now?" she began.

Snape then looked away from Sirius and nodded slightly.

Tahlia took out the notes she had compiled from the book the gentleman had given her. "I think it's right to write it this way?" she asked, handing over the note.

Sirius didn't say anything anymore. Once Tahlia entered the study mode, it's best to stay quietly by the side. If someone disturbs her—well, last time James walked shakyly for a whole week, he himself He wasn't stupid enough to do such a thing.

Snape walked over, carefully read the contents of the note, and then looked up. "Well, I guess there's nothing wrong with that, but—" He pointed to a place. "It's a bit weird here. Blood-sucking grass can have such an effect, but I think the material here should be replaced with shadow grass, which may be more effective."

"Really?" Tahlia looked closer immediately. "You mean it's wrong here in the book?"

"No." Snape shook his head. "It's just that I feel that this is more effective, but it still needs to be tested..." After a pause. "Where did you get this recipe?"

"Um, did I mention the gentleman to you?" Tahlia said. "That's the book he gave me."

Snape nodded. "Well, maybe you could ask him—"

"Okay." Tahlia completely agrees, that gentleman knows everything, and sometimes she even writes down some of her troubles unconsciously, and to her surprise, the husband also writes his concern about this matter in the reply letter. She always thought that the gentleman only wanted to talk about his studies with him.

Because of this, she actually had the urge to tell him anything, but luckily she never said anything about Remus.

Every time she thinks of this, she will feel guilty towards Remus, and she is also a little impatient when improving the potion with Snape. She has already blown up several cauldrons, which made Snape very unhappy, and he also treated her well. However, she felt that those who also blew up a lot of cauldrons had no right to blame her—of course, it was impossible for her to speak out.

In the end, Tahlia compromised and lent his thesis to Sirius, and he was only a reference as he promised, otherwise he might not even be able to take a glance at Tahlia's thesis in the future.

With the blessing of Tahlia's thesis, Sirius naturally finished his homework with ease, and started preparing for this weekend's itinerary enthusiastically.

Tahlia didn't go with them for the whole of last year. At that time, she simply forgot about having a consent form, and felt that it was unnecessary to write a letter home to ask for a signature for this matter, so she also He didn't do that, but there was another reason. In fact, Tahlia just didn't have much interest in the so-called all-magic village.

She can't escape this year, because Sirius sent letters every day during their summer vacation to remind her not to forget to sign Josh, so that all her brothers knew about it, and Josh signed it smartly. At the same time as his name, he did not forget to tell her to remember to bring some souvenirs home.

──Now she has to go.

"Tahlia, then we can go to Honeydukes first, I think you can buy a lot of snacks for your brothers there, and then we can go to the Three Broomsticks for a drink..."

Sirius had been whispering the itinerary into her ear all week, and Tahlia could recite the itinerary backwards.

"Sirius," he raised his hand to stop Sirius from muttering. "You've told me many times, I won't run away, don't be so nervous—"

"Always in case." Sirius said seriously. "Especially that Snape didn't even ask Lily to go this time. I don't know what he was doing. James and the others thought that the chances of you not going at that time were too high, so they sent me to supervise you." After finishing speaking, he smiled. Mimi looked at Tahlia.

Tahlia was speechless for a moment.

When did she temporarily change her promise to them?

In the end, of course, she did not disappoint Sirius. Although Snape didn't go with her, she thought about not going at all, but after all, she had promised him, and she would never miss the appointment without reason.

So at this moment, she and Sirius walked on the streets of this famous magic village against the cold wind. It seemed that it was always snowing here, and the color of the roofs of the houses could not be distinguished because they had been covered by snow for many years. After walking a few steps, Tahlia was trembling with movement.

Seeing this, Sirius directly stuffed his thermal gloves into Tahlia's hand.

"What about yourself?" Tahlia asked instead of taking it right away.

"I'm not cold at all." Sirius laughed, said, and took off his cloak to confirm this sentence, but was blown by a sudden gust of wind and sneezed.

Tahlia chuckled. "It's not cold yet. If you catch a cold again like in the first grade, don't expect me to visit you!" He said, pushing the gloves back to Sirius. "Don't worry about me, I'll just cast a warming spell."

Sirius thought about it and thought it made sense. After all, Tahlia had already been proficient in using spells like the Warmth Charm. Anyway, they could use magic in this village, and spells were always more useful than gloves.

"Why don't you just stay together?" James complained on the side. The interaction between the two has surpassed the level of ordinary friends, and Sirius also likes Tahlia. Why has it been so long since his brother hasn't Chasing someone down?

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Sirius slammed James on the head hard, but his tone sounded extremely awkward. In the past two years, he has pumped up a lot. Although it is not as good as Remus, it is still possible to suppress James. More than enough, and as for Peter...not to mention his tragic height is sad.

"James," Tahlia said with a smile. "We're just friends, we won't be together—"
