[HP] Can you be gentle with me

The class bell rang, but the professor didn't show up for a long time. Tahlia poked Sirius next to her. She had just noticed the cat standing motionless on the podium. "Is that...that cat the same as Professor McGonagall..."

Before he finished speaking, as if answering Tahlia's question, the cat leaped from the podium and turned into the witch who stood in front of the gate yesterday to greet them.

"Good morning," she said. "I am Professor McGonagall. This class is Transfiguration. This is a subject that requires great talent. I don't expect you to be geniuses in this area, but I hope that when I teach, you can pay attention to the lecture, and I say pay attention to the lecture. It means..." With a wave of her wand, the unknown object in one of the Slytherin students' hands instantly turned into a mouse, writhing in his hand, causing him to yelp and throw the mouse out. "Don't focus on things other than listening to the class..."

This action made the students who were a bit slack in spirit straighten up, as if they were afraid that this serious witch would give them a bad blow.

"What we're going to learn today is turning matches into needles," she continued. "This is the most basic transfiguration technique. The closer the object to be transformed is to the original object, the less difficult it is, okay." She lit up her wand again, and matches flew out of the small box behind her, falling on each in front of a person. "Now concentrate on turning it into a needle, start."

Tahlia turned her attention to the match in front of her, thinking of the needle...

"Aha!" Sirius on the side suddenly shouted.

Tahlia turned her head and saw the thin shiny needle in front of Sirius. "You made it!" Tahlia said happily. "Amazing."

"It's not difficult," James said, flicking his wand lazily, and the match in front of him instantly turned into a needle. "Look! That's all."

"Ah, attention everyone! Mr. Black and Mr. Potter have succeeded!" Professor McGonagall said, noticing this. "Five points each for Slytherin and Gryffindor!"

Tahlia returned to her match, took a deep breath, and waved her wand!

"Well done, Miss Watson, five points for Slytherin!"

Tahlia kept practicing the same movements, which puzzled Sirius. "Didn't you succeed? Why did you repeat it so many times?"

"Look!" Tahlia excitedly picked up the needle she made and gave it to Sirius.

"Isn't it just following the needle?"

"It's different!" Tahlia said excitedly. "Compare it with your needle..."

"What are you guys talking about?" James leaned over to look.

Sirius picked up Tahlia's needle and his own, took a closer look, and... "Why is there a pattern on your needle?"

"Let me see!" James snatched Tahlia's needle and moved closer to observe. "Really! How did you do it?"

Tahlia was clearly delighted at the discovery, her eyes lit up. "I found that the more I thought about it, the more I deformed the needles!" she said. "So I want to try to see how far it can go..."

The two of them suddenly realized, and they began to change their matches into needles and back again, and then back to needles... When Professor McGonagall announced that the class was over, the three of them had a great time playing, because they could even Let any pattern you imagine appear on the needle, like James's is a gorgeous broom.

Transfiguration is such an interesting subject!they thought.

Tahlia followed Sirius and James out of the classroom after class, and Remus followed them. Seeing Snape and Lily walking not far ahead, Tahlia quickly pulled Sirius and followed, and James also pulled Remus after seeing Lily. catch up.

"Snape!"

"Lily!"

Snape resisted the urge to roll his eyes, it must be that annoying Watson again, can't she just stop pestering him all day?

"Tahlia, James...ah, and Sirius and Remus, hello." Lily greeted with a smile. "I just saw that you have changed into needles. It's amazing."

"Thank you." Tahlia said, she didn't expect Lily to notice what they were doing, but what about Snape... She looked at him, but his face was still expressionless, and Tahlia lowered her face slightly.

"Lily, I know how to make patterns appear on the needle, do you want me to teach you?" James immediately said braggingly.

Snape snorted coldly.

"Do you have any comments?" James turned his head and asked angrily. "I see that you can't even make a needle, so why don't you teach Lily?"

"I don't teach and it's not your turn to teach," Snape said coldly.

Looking at the two whose eyes were about to sparkle, Lily hastily grabbed Snape's sleeve. "Severus, don't say that, their needles are really beautiful..." and said to James as well. "We can do metamorphosis homework together, do you want to make an appointment with the library later?"

As soon as James heard this sentence, he turned into a puppy and almost didn't wag his tail. "Of course! Then after lunch today? You probably don't have classes either?" He glanced at Snape, then at Lily who was about to start persuading Snape, and said reluctantly. "...Snape...can come too."

"Let's go too." Sirius said immediately, not to mention he wasn't brother enough, the more people distracted Snape, maybe James could have a few more words with Lily. "It's easier to discuss if there are more people, Remus, are you coming?" He didn't ask Tahlia, but he automatically put her in the list to go together.

Remus thought for a moment. "Well, I happened to be in class just now and I didn't understand something..."

They walked to the lobby together, although Snape kept his face dark all the way, but he didn't stop Lily from interacting with them too exaggeratedly, but he would still let out cold snorts from time to time, which made James and Sirius a little unhappy, but Tahlia felt that this was already It was Snape in easy-to-get-together mode, so she didn't try to talk to Snape again, lest he suddenly turn into a sharp knife and stab everyone except Lily.

Now it's certain that Snape hates her...Even Sirius and James won't let Snape have such a completely ignoring attitude, like this morning in the lounge, it was Snape who first opened his mouth to mock Sirius, and when James and Lily talked, Snape would also say a few words from time to time, making James flush with anger, but it was not easy to do so in front of Lily.

As for her, unless Tahlia took the initiative to walk in front of him and made him ignore him, he would not say anything to her at all. Perhaps only Tahlia cherished the relationship between the two of them in the same class that year, and Snape I also said that after throwing away the rubbish, Tahlia walked silently beside Sirius, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt chest tightness. Why did Snape hate her so much?Did she do something that would annoy him?

A group of people walked into the hall, and there was a sudden silence. All the students were frightened by their combination of red and green walking together.

But they didn't stand together for a long time, as soon as James entered the hall, he pulled Lily and Remus towards the long table of Gryffindor, and Snape, who had a stinky face, left Tahlia immediately and walked towards Slytherin in displeasure.

"Seeing sex and forgetting friends..." Sirius gritted his teeth, glaring at James in the distance who had started talking to Lily again.

"Haha...at least he didn't forget to bring Remus..." Tahlia chuckled, pulling Sirius away. "...It's more practical for us to go to eat, so let him go." As he said, he also walked towards their long table.

As soon as they approached the long table, they were greeted by Andromeda. "Sirius! Sit here!" She waved her hand, pointing to the empty seat beside her, but the space was awkward, it was too wide for one person, and too crowded for two.

Tahlia glanced at Sirius hesitantly, he frowned, thought for a while but didn't speak, after a while, he grabbed Tahlia and walked to that seat for her to sit down, and he immediately squeezed to sit down too. "Sirius!" Tahlia called softly.

"It's absolutely impossible for me to leave you alone." Sirius said seriously. "Let's eat." Ignored the people around who became a little stiff after Tahlia sat down.

Tahlia was very embarrassed, very embarrassed, but seeing Sirius calmly started to take food, she could always feel the gaze staring at her, making every movement she made seemed like someone would jump up and point at her at any time and said: You don't fit in here!

At this moment, Lucius also followed Narcissa into the hall, and took the two reserved seats obliquely in front of Tahlia.

Lucius glanced at Tahlia indifferently, and said in a flat tone. "See you again, Miss Watson."

Tahlia noticed that Sirius' hand holding the cutlery shook slightly, but no one else noticed except her, and she replied with a smile. "Good afternoon, Senior Malfoy."

Narcissa chuckled. "Luc, I haven't heard someone call you senior for a long time..."

Lucius was taken aback, only to realize that since he and his superiors became prefects last year, those who were older than him in the academy would call him by his name directly, and those who were younger would also call him Mr. Malfoy. It seems that this Watson is not a pure-blood family Born... He tried for a whole morning without definite results, but Narcissa pointed it out at this moment. Thinking of this, his brows frowned slightly.

Sirius had a bad premonition, he had completely noticed the change in Lucius' expression, could it be that he was discovered so soon?But it seems that Tahlia didn't show any tell, right?He was sure that her behavior was very Slytherin, logically speaking, she shouldn't be seen through just like that...

"I heard that you and Sirius added points to the academy in the Transfiguration class this morning." This is not a question, but an affirmative sentence.

Sirius rolled his eyes silently in his mind, don't call him by name as if he knew him very well, although he still has to admire Malfoy for having a source of information about him at school.

Tahlia replied. "Sirius was the first to successfully turn matches into needles. I was slower, but Professor McGonagall still helped me add points."

Narcissa nodded to Sirius. "Sirius, yes, I hope you can keep it up."

"Thank you." Sirius said lightly, continuing to eat mechanically with one hand.

Tahlia could tell that Sirius didn't like eating with his cousin very much, and such a reserved conversation made it impossible to feel that they were related by blood. Although Narcissa was beautiful, she always had a calm expression on her face, And there was almost a Lucius by her side, she poked Sirius' thigh secretly.

Sirius froze for a moment, but his body movements were less rigid after that.

"Miss Watson, I hope you continue to do well." Lucius said. "Slytherin has won the Academy Cup many times in a row. I hope there will be no surprises this year."

"Yes." Tahlia nodded quickly.
