[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Chapter 18. 18. Repaying Gratitude

The two walked around the castle for a short distance, until the sun gradually set on the horizon, and then they walked slowly back to the castle.On the way, Snape remained silent, as if thinking about how to get along with Tahlia in the future. Lily didn't say anything more. In her eyes, Snape's attitude towards Tahlia was very special. She didn't know why, but she could vaguely feel that Snape didn't hate her, so she couldn't understand that he always was a move to push Tahlia far away.

Lily didn't speak until they reached the hall, which was almost full of students having dinner. "Then see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow," Snape said.

The two of them headed in different directions, towards the dining table of their academy.

They arrived at the lobby later than the others, so just after Snape started, people left one after another. He didn't pay much attention to it, but he heard that Potter in the distance was harassing Lily again, which was unpleasant.

The food on the big dinner plate started not to be replenished continuously, and the dinner time should be almost over, Snape put some more food on his plate, he couldn't imagine not having a meal at home.

Two small figures quickly passed by in the corridor, and the sound of footsteps caused a lot of echo in the quiet corridor at this time.

"Hu... huh!"

Sirius was running, followed by Tahlia, also panting.

"Sirius, run... run slower!" Tahlia was almost unable to catch up, and was out of breath. Sirius had long arms and legs, and he approached her two steps in one step. Seeing Sirius Farther and farther away from her, she shouted anxiously.

"If you're slow, you won't have dinner!" Sirius yelled, turned around a corridor, found that Tahlia hadn't followed, stopped quickly, and looked back. "Tahlia?"

"Hoo...Sirius..." Tahlia ran to Sirius, bent down and put her hands on her knees, panting heavily. "Hold...Sorry..." She had never tried to run for such a long time before, if it wasn't because they forgot the time while reading in the living room, they would not have forgotten the time for dinner. "If it wasn't for me..."

"It's not all because of you, I also accidentally fell asleep." Sirius said.He was telling the truth. When they returned to the cellar, they sat in the armchairs and read a book, but Sirius fell asleep after reading it for a while, and Tahlia forgot everything as soon as he read the book, and the result was that Sirius woke up suddenly. It was already this time, and after calling Tahlia, the two rushed towards the hall.

After taking a short breath, Tahlia nodded to Sirius, and the two started to run again.

When they arrived in the hall, they quickly sat down on the empty seats. Since most of the students had already left, the entire long table was almost empty.

"Just in time!" Sirius said happily, reaching for the big plate, but the food on the plate disappeared the moment he touched it.

"........."

"........."

It seems that they have to go to bed hungry today. "Forget it...Sirius, I happen to eat a lot for lunch...I..." Tahlia was talking, but her stomach grunted in betrayal. "...I...I'm not hungry at all!" She felt far-fetched after hearing this.

"You're actually very hungry..." Sirius just finished speaking, and his stomach began to wail.He sighed. He knew that he would not have chosen the potion textbook when he was just reading the book. He thought that potions had magical effects, and making potions should be magical and interesting. It's gone... Almost as soon as he opened the textbook, he fell asleep quickly when he saw the types and properties of various medicinal materials, but he found an effective solution to insomnia. "I seem to have some leftover snacks in my room... I'll get them when I go back..."

"No need," Tahlia said. "I also have some biscuits, you can save them..." When she had to write a letter to her brother, she must not include the fact that she didn't have dinner on the first night, Tahlia also sighed.

Listening to the two people who kept sighing, Snape, who was sitting not far away, really felt that if the old Slytherin knew that there were such students in Slytherin, he might jump out of the grave in anger.

How stupid, Snape thought, he couldn't concentrate on his food since they rushed into the hall, after all, there weren't many students in there at this time, but...he looked at the food in front of him. full plate.

He has no obligation to share food with her, and it has absolutely nothing to do with him that she didn't eat dinner! Snape said to himself.He has no obligation... no obligation... no... yes... Kuangdang!The knife and fork fell heavily on the plate, and Snape was annoyed. Who will tell him why a lid of a lunch box full of food appeared in his mind, and he couldn't shake it off!Sure enough, she shouldn't have appeared in my sight, damn it!

Snape stood up abruptly, picked up his own plate, walked quickly towards Tahlia, and threw the plate in front of her with a bang.

"S...Snape?" Tahlia froze. "you this......"

"Food must not be wasted," Snape said flatly. "I used to help you solve it, but now you are obliged to eat them." In this way, he repaid the previous favor, and they owed nothing.

Tahlia looked at Snape moved, didn't expect him to give her food, maybe it meant he didn't hate her that much?A glimmer of hope rose again in my heart. "Thank you, Snape!" she said sincerely.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Snape thought his veins must be twitching.

"What?" Tahlia was bewildered.

"Forget it." Snape was still furious, and without answering Tahlia turned around and left the hall like the wind, leaving Tahlia and Sirius looking at each other with still blank faces.

"Did I just say something wrong?" Tahlia asked Sirius blankly.

Sirius was also confused, just that Snape, who usually ignored Tahlia to the end, would surprise him enough to bring her food after she was late for dinner, and then the two of them didn't say a few words, and Snape was inexplicably irritated and angrily left, It's really confusing. "Probably not?" he said. "You just said thank you..."

"Ah." Tahlia suddenly realized.

"how?"

Tahlia recalled the interaction between the two three years ago. At that time, she was the one who thanked Snape because she brought food to Snape. Now that the roles of the two had been reversed, could it be that Snape was saying that he was the one who should thank him?This is really awkward...

But Snape was a great help, otherwise Tahlia would have been really hungry. She and Sirius wolfed down the food on the plate, and then realized that they were the only ones left in the hall, so they got out of there and went back. to the room.

In the living room, Tahlia said goodnight to Sirius, and went to her room, only to find that her roommate had changed into her pajamas and lay on the bed, casually flipping through a book. Tahlia remembered that she only took out parchment and ink yesterday. She hadn't packed her luggage yet, so she opened her suitcase, took out all the things and put them in her closet or put them on the desk. Then, she saw a photo frame with a group photo of her and her brothers. Everyone in the photo smiled brightly, and Tahlia also smiled when she saw it, and carefully placed the photo frame beside the bed.

"Why can't they move?" The roommate's voice came suddenly.

Tahlia froze for a moment, then reacted immediately. "I didn't wash it with water, and it's annoying to watch them move around every day, isn't it?" She smiled slightly at her roommate and continued to tidy things up, but she could feel the cold sweat on her back.

"Well, moving around is really annoying sometimes..." Her roommate nodded and paused. "Yesterday you said your name was...Tahlia...Watson?"

Tahlia breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, just call me Tahlia, can I call you by your name, Flora?"

Her roommate thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay." Then he turned his gaze back to the book, and didn't ask Tahlia any other questions.

After setting everything up, Tahlia went to take a shower, then sat down at the desk and took out another piece of parchment and started writing a letter, but this letter was relatively short, just explaining that she had her first class today and that she was with friends They wrote homework together, and Tahlia thought about Lucius' matter for a while, and finally decided not to write it in the letter.

After that, she continued to read books, but she borrowed them from the library instead of textbooks. Maybe she can go to the library more often in the future?She was really excited to see the many books that were obviously about to overwhelm the bookshelves today, and wondered if she could read them before graduation...

"I'm going to sleep, how about you?" Flora said.At this moment, she was sitting on the edge of the bed and had turned off the bedside lamp.

"Right away." Tahlia said hastily, probably accidentally she was fascinated by reading again. "I was going to bed too."

"Yeah," Flora nodded again. "Mr. Malfoy said that he would be waiting in the lobby tomorrow morning to take us to herbology. I see you got up early today, so you shouldn't have to worry about being late?"

"I think so," Tahlia said.Although she got up early because she was too excited, and because she had to send a letter, there was no guarantee that she would not oversleep tomorrow. Thinking of this, she decisively put bookmarks where she saw them, put the books back on the shelf, stood up and lay down on the bed , reached out to turn off the light. "Good night, Flora."

"Good night." In the darkness, the shadow on the bed beside him turned over.

Tahlia didn't oversleep the next day, and not long after arriving in the living room, she saw Sirius walking over while yawning.

"Morning, Sirius."

"Good morning, Tahlia." Sirius admires how Tahlia can always be in good spirits early in the morning, as he thinks it is very difficult to crawl out of bed, if he didn't blackmail the roommate in the same room in advance. He woke up, I'm afraid he really can't get up so early.

"I heard from my roommate that Senior Lucius will take us to herbalism after we finish breakfast today." Tahlia said, not noticing that Sirius frowned when he heard her address Lucius.

"Hmm." Sirius walked out of the living room first. "Tahlia, you have to remember to stay away from him..."

"Who?"

"Who else? Lucius Malfoy!" Sirius held his forehead, Thalia wouldn't have forgotten what he said yesterday.

"Oh, I haven't forgotten," Tahlia said. "So far, it's all he said to me on his own initiative..." She patted Sirius on the back. "Don't worry, I'll be careful." He promised so, but although Lucius seemed to have discovered her origin, he didn't publicize it to others. From this point of view, it is still open to question whether Lucius really harbored ill intentions towards her. .

"I'm serious, Tahlia." Seeing that Tahlia didn't really take it to heart, Sirius said anxiously. "The Malfoy family has always been a power-following and pure-blood family, and old Malfoy is said to have a close relationship with that man, you really have to be careful..."

"Sirius, I'm serious too." Tahlia said. "And I can't treat a person with prejudice because of his family. You see, you are very different from your cousins."

"This... I will definitely not harm you, this is different!" Sirius said anxiously. "But Malfoy...Malfoy he..."

"He hasn't done anything against me yet, has he?" Tahlia continued. "Okay, Sirius, I always remember you saying that I won't trust him completely until I figure out what he is, but you can't tell me to just see him as a bad guy." She smiled.
