[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Chapter 16 16. Visiting the Library

After lunch, Sirius, who couldn't wait to leave the long table, immediately pulled Tahlia out of the hall, and joined James who was waiting outside.

"What's wrong? It's like running for your life..." James asked.

Sirius threw himself on James, hanging on to him. "Damn it, I shouldn't have been sorted into Slytherin!" He found that what he said to the Sorting Hat last night was too firm, let him be so reserved for another seven years!Merlin kill him!

"Sirius you..." James looked at him helplessly, then whispered in his ear at a volume Tahlia couldn't hear. "Think about Tahlia, hold on..." before speaking in a normal voice. "With Tahlia by your side, you can stop complaining."

"Well, Sirius," Tahlia reassured, patting Sirius on the shoulder as well. "I'll follow you." She knew about Sirius' conflicts with her family, but she forced herself to interact with them in order to keep her from being discriminated against in Slytherin because of Muggle-born. It seemed that from the moment they met, Sirius always In comforting her, and taking the lead in blocking all other people's hostility towards her, it is so lucky to be friends with him.

Sirius also felt that all the depression was swept away instantly because of Tahlia's few words. Sure enough, Tahlia treated him the best!Get lost, James, and cousins! "Tahliaaaaaaaaa!" He let go of James, looking at Tahlia with beautiful gray eyes, moved. "Sure enough, you are the best person."

"Ahem..." James looked at Sirius, who was also becoming a nymphomaniac. He didn't know who was laughing at him for meeting Lily yesterday on the train like he was crazy. At this moment, he looked at Sirius with a contemptuous expression written all over the On his face, at least he still knew why he became mentally ill, while Sirius... didn't even notice that he had a crush on Tahlia!

Remus smiled and looked at the three people who were fighting, suddenly there was pain deep in his body, and he staggered, but fortunately he concealed it perfectly.He lowered his face, there was still a short period of time before the full moon... he had to think of a reason to deceive them, otherwise he couldn't guarantee that they would still be able to let himself walk beside them undefended like they are now.

A few people talked and laughed along the way, preparing to go to the library. Although none of them knew how to get there, James showed Gryffindor's fearlessness to the fullest, grabbing a passer-by at random, no matter which college it was from—except Slytherin— ─Boldly ask him the way.

It just so happened that they were lucky enough to meet a Ravenclaw, who told them the way to the library in detail, and the serious Remus immediately took a piece of paper and wrote it down. After the instruction to turn left and right on the stairs, I must have felt dizzy... Even I was dizzy remembering it. If he hadn't written it down, they probably would have asked someone for directions soon.

"I see, thank you." Tahlia thanked with a smile, and then led everyone forward. Remus hurriedly followed, holding the densely packed small pieces of paper in his hand, intending to tell Tahlia the direction as soon as she asked.

Seeing the road sign recorded on the piece of paper appeared ahead, Remus opened his mouth to remind Tahlia who was leading the way ahead. "Tahlia, ahead..."

"...When you meet the armored knight holding a broken axe, turn right, then turn left into the first corridor you meet...then take the stairs on the right, and remember that the stairs can only be opened when they are facing the portrait of the woman in gray Go, go up the stairs and turn right, walk for about 5 minutes and you will come across a large tapestry with the Hogwarts school emblem on it, and there is actually a corridor hidden behind it, go straight in..." Tahlia was about to continue , but found that everyone was staring at her with their mouths wide open. "That's how I remember it... isn't it?"

Remus looked at the slip of paper in a daze, and found that it was exactly what Tahlia said. "Tahlia, you have a good memory."

"My brother told me that too." Tahlia said with a smile.

"No wonder you like reading so much..." James' mouth was still open, looking quite entertaining. "It's really a pity not to enter Ravenclaw..."

"The Sorting Hat has indeed been considered for a long time," Tahlia said seriously. "But then it said that Slytherin was more suitable for me..."

"In my opinion, Ravenclaw is suitable for you..." James murmured.

Maybe if she argued with the Sorting Hat last night and was sorted into Ravenclaw, there wouldn't be so many troubles, and she wouldn't have to face the constant temptations from Lucius and his gang, and Sirius wouldn't have to deal with him because she still had to endure it. family get along. "Maybe Ravenclaw is really better..." Tahlia said softly.

"Tahlia?" Sirius sensed something was wrong.

"Huh?" Tahlia put on a smile and didn't look disappointed again.At this moment, they had already reached the big tapestry. "Look! It's almost here from the corridor behind here..." She lifted the tapestry, and there was a corridor full of portraits behind her.

The four of them walked past the tapestry in single file, and Remus had basically discarded the little piece of paper. Since Tahlia had memorized it, it was obviously unnecessary for him to keep looking at the piece of paper. Sure enough, Tahlia took They turned left and right, and after a while, they stopped in front of the library.

"Hey!"

They had just arrived when there were two hurried footsteps coming from behind, Lily and Snape.

The two ran in front of them, slightly panting from the run just now.

"Sorry, have you been here long?" Lily asked. "Severus and I asked a lot to find this place."

"No, we just arrived too," James said.The gentleman pushed it away first and let Lily go in. He wanted to keep Snape out of the door on purpose, but there were Tahlia and Sirius outside, which made him dispel the idea, but Snape sneered disdainfully when he passed by For a moment, if they hadn't learned the Advanced Transfiguration technique, James would have just pulled out his wand and turned him into a slug!

The six of them occupied a small corner together and each took out their textbooks. Tahlia's thesis was written very quickly, because she remembered almost everything in the textbook, but vaguely felt that textbooks alone could not write a perfect thesis, so she got up and planned to find some more reference books.

"I'll go find some more books..." Tahlia replied under Sirius' questioning eyes.

Tahlia walked towards the special area of ​​transfiguration, looking back and forth for books that might be used by the title of the book. At this time, a hand held a book in front of his eyes.

"Master Malfoy!" Tahlia took the book in a daze.

"You probably need this one." Lucius said flatly. "But…" He reached out and grabbed Tahlia's hand suddenly. "I have some questions for you."

"What... what?" Tahlia swallowed. "I……"

"Tell me, where does your family live?" He asked slowly and clearly.

"Uh... by the sea... in a small town by the sea," Tahlia replied hesitantly.

"Really..." Lucius smirked. "I understand, if I were you, I would be very...careful..."

"What... mean?" Tahlia asked nervously.

"Nothing interesting," Lucius let her go. "You don't know your situation, do you? Wait...I remember...it seems that Sirius Black is very protective of you..." He narrowed his eyes. "...so interesting..."

Tahlia didn't dare to stay any longer, as soon as Lucius let her go, she turned around and ran away grabbing the book in her hand, not daring to turn back and run all the way in the original direction.

"Remember what I said..." Lucius' voice still came faintly behind him.

What does he... mean?Did he know?But why didn't he tell others but came to warn her alone?Or did everyone in the academy already know about it?Did she fail on the first day of school?Or was it just another temptation that he didn't see? ...Tahlia felt that her head was about to explode. She didn't know much about the thinking patterns of Slytherins. At first, she thought that Slytherins were poisoning people like Snape, and she didn't feel tired talking to Sirius. But it seems that she is thinking too simply. Since this morning, Lucius has not said a word to her without several detours, and Tahlia is still not sure whether she understands the true meaning of his words correctly. On the surface, she was asking a question, but in fact she was probing other aspects... She felt that she was going to have a mental breakdown.

After standing for a while to calm down, Thalia grabbed the book and sat back in her seat.

"Found it!" Tahlia held up the book in her hand. "There should be a lot of references for me..."

"What is Emery's understanding of Transfiguration?" Remus flipped through the book in distress and asked in a murmur. "I do remember where I read that passage..."

"Page 7, Remus," chuckled. Tahlia looked at Remus who had almost finished the book, and replied. "In the middle, he believed that transfiguration was not limited to still life and animals. In ancient times, scholars believed that still life could not be transformed into animals, but he overturned this theory, and now he is proved to be correct," Tahlia explained. "I read the book explaining advanced transfiguration. It talks about the method of transforming a still life into an animal and the points to pay attention to. We should be able to learn it when we are in senior grade..."

"Did you read the book on Advanced Transfiguration?" Lily repeated.

"Well, when Principal Dumbledore took me and my brother to buy books during the summer vacation, I asked him if he had any recommendations..."

"He recommended you Advanced Transfiguration?" Remus said incredulously.

"No, what he recommends is "Transformation You Must Know". The principal said that this book can be used in conjunction with our textbooks, but..." Tahlia looked a little hesitant. "Uh... I also bought "Advanced Transfiguration", "In-depth Discussion on Transfiguration" and "Final Transfiguration"..." She paused. "And then, uh... I'm done."

"So?" James' mouth opened again unconsciously.

"Uh... The transformation of a still life into an animal is mentioned in "Deep Essay on Metamorphosis", but I didn't dare to try it at home..." Tahlia said. "But "Final Transfiguration" is really fun! Those..." When she mentioned the point of interest, she started talking, not noticing the jaws of the people on the side who were about to drop to the ground, but obviously Snape was not included, although He was also surprised by Tahlia's knowledge, but thinking about when they first entered elementary school, it seemed that it wasn't that surprising, so he was the only one who was able to maintain a normal look.

Lucius Malfoy had been standing behind the bookshelf for a long time. Originally, he didn't tell the rest of the academy about Tahlia's bloodline because he was curious about why this Mudblood was sorted into Slytherin, and he wanted to find out why the young master of the Black family paid so much attention to her .After hearing Tahlia start talking about the various theories of transfiguration, he also became interested in this mudblood. It can be heard that Tahlia has really read a lot of books, and he himself confirmed in the morning that a lot of knowledge is not It was in the first grade textbook, and while secretly surprised, he decided to observe Tahlia first.
