[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Fast forward to Tahlia's last night at the Weasley's house.

Harry and Nigel were already well acquainted with the Weasley children. When Tahlia said that she would leave today, she felt very reluctant, which made her feel more than a little guilty.

The two of them had a really hard time interacting with kids their age.

But the two of them suddenly matured, and they didn't cry to Tahlia that they wanted to stay here and play with the Weasleys. They just spent the rest of the morning playing in the yard with their children went.

"Percy..." Tahlia stopped the little boy who was also trying to run out.After he looked back puzzled and a little nervous, he continued. "Can you, send me the Scabbers?" It was no surprise to see Percy's instantly tangled expression.

Tahlia knows why. Although the Weasleys are very nice people, their family is notoriously struggling financially. After all, the child in front of him has a pet that is completely his own. No matter what, it is impossible to agree to send it so easily. out.

"I mean, can I trade you another pet?" she added. "I will definitely take good care of him!"

"I..." Percy was very embarrassed and lowered her head.

He knew that he should agree to this request, Professor Watson, no, Tahlia has been very good to them these days, and will teach them homework, but those are Scabbers, those were the pets his parents gave him when he was in school—

"I'll get you another mouse when we get to school, okay?" Tahlia asked again. "Or if you don't want mice, any other animal is fine, er, as long as it doesn't violate the school rules--I know I'm asking too much, but Scabbers are very important to me, and I believe that with your cleverness, Absolutely understandable, right?"

"Scabbers... are important?" Percy looked up, confusion written all over his face, completely unable to understand why Scabbers were important to Tahlia.

"Hmm..." Tahlia nodded slowly. "I used to have a very good friend, but he disappeared and no one could find him──Seeing Scabbers, I don't know why I thought of him──"

"Oh." Percy replied blankly. "It's like I will miss my classmates now that I have only been on vacation for a while?"

"Very similar." Tahlia smiled. "So, can you promise me?"

Percy thought for a while, then nodded seriously. "Then give it to you!" He said, also showing a small smile. "I hope Tahlia you can find that good friend of yours soon—"

"Thank you, I hope so too." Tahlia nodded, reaching out to stroke Percy's head. "Okay, you go and play with them... I saw that they seem to have already divided into teams──"

"What?" Percy yelled over her shoulder. "It's too much!" He hurriedly chased after him, yelling how he couldn't be counted.

So, in the afternoon, when Tahlia was about to take the two children back to her home, she had a cage in her hand. I don't know if it was an illusion. Percy always felt that her pet looked scared, but the thought was only for a moment, a moment. How could a mouse have such complicated emotions? Soon, he also joined the ranks of saying goodbye to Tahlia and others, and did not pay attention to his pet mouse anymore, not to mention that Tahlia had promised to give him a gift after school started. only new pets.

"Harry, we will play together in the future!" Standing in front of Harry at this moment, Ron, the youngest son of the Weasley family, said excitedly to Harry.

"Of course." Harry smiled brightly. "Besides, we will meet again at school in the future!"

"Yes." Ron replied blankly. "I envy you already living on campus - and Tahlia is such a nice person..."

Harry shook his head. "It's actually about the same as when I lived at home, and I don't run around in there -- it's too big," he said. "Nigel and I just stay in the room most of the time, and sometimes Tahlia will take us to the library, right, Nigel?" Then he turned his head and asked the little boy beside him.

Nigel had been listening intently to the twins telling him jokes, when he was suddenly thrown a question, he didn't react for a moment, watching Harry without saying anything.

It turned out it was as if what Harry said was false, and he could only look at Ron in embarrassment. "It doesn't look like Nigel is listening to us at all..."

"Looks like that's true—" Ron nodded understandingly, as Nigel had turned his attention back to his twin brother's joke.

It seems that Nigel and the twins have a special connection.

Strange to say, the mischievous twins don't usually attack Nigel, and it seems that the interaction between the three of them is just the feeling of the older brother taking care of the younger brother-this makes Harry puzzled, because he I have already suffered from many twins.

"Nigel, I'm telling you!" George seemed to have finished the joke, and said in a rare serious tone. "After the summer vacation next year, Fred and I will also enroll! We will definitely go to play with you at that time──" This sentence also got the nod of the brothers beside me. "Will you still be there?"

"I don't know either." Nigel glanced at Tahlia who was talking to the Weasleys, and finally decided not to ask the question. "But if Tahlia was there at the time, of course I would be there."

"Then you can convince Tahlia to stay there!" Fred hooked Nigel's shoulder pretending to be handsome. "You absolutely have to wait for us to go to school too!"

Nigel thought for a moment, nodded, and smiled. "Well, you guys still have to show me some fun stuff then!"

"Of course!" George patted his chest. "Brother, we will definitely take you with you──"

"If you dare to take little Nigel to get some things, I will let you know how to write the word regret!"

The twins shrank back instantly, after hearing their mother's sudden interjection.

Why was it that they were excited to chat with Tahlia one second, and they ended the conversation the next second and they happened to hear what they said to Nigel.

Tahlia chuckled, and spoke. "Come on, Molly, kids just have to be lively to be cute—you know that, Harry?" he said jokingly to Harry afterwards.The purpose is to tell him that he has to be more lively, and stop forcing himself to stay indoors and never go out.

"I probably know..." Harry muttered softly.

"Okay... so Molly, Arthur, I'll take them away first?" Tahlia looked up, and said one last time. "Thank you for being willing to entertain us for so many days—"

"Where—" Molly said quickly. "You're always welcome here, Tahlia—" she smiled. "Thank you for taking care of the children at school too."

Tahlia nods. "That's what it should be." After speaking, he formally said goodbye again, and then took the hands of the two children and left the Weasley's house.

Back in their small apartment, Tahlia called for Sirius.

"Can you take care of them for me?" She said to Sirius who had just stepped out of the fireplace.

"Of course—" Sirius was stunned for a moment, then replied reflexively. "But why?"

"I have to go out for a while," Tahlia said.Then, without waiting for Sirius to react, he apparated, and he only glanced at Tahlia as if he was holding something in her hand...

Shaking his head, Sirius didn't take this matter to heart, lowered his head, and said to the two little guys looking at him excitedly. "Looks like we'll have to make good use of Tahlia's absence, huh?"

Tahlia appeared in a small room in the blink of an eye, and Peter, who was cowering in the cage, took a closer look, and found that it was the place where they cast the loyalty spell before, and his guard had been relaxed because of Tahlia's attitude these days. rising.

Tahlia took the animal out of the cage and spoke. "I can't communicate with a mouse, Peter."

The next second, Peter stood in front of Tahlia in his original form, with an expression that looked like he was about to cry.

"Tahlia—"

"Stop, let me talk first." Tahlia interrupted Peter who had just opened his mouth. "I'm telling you why I didn't intend to kill you." Saying that, he waved for Peter to sit down. "Let me tell you something first, I have cast a spell on this room, even if you turn back into a mouse, you can't escape from here, do you understand?"

Peter nodded in fear, then sat down very slowly, his body still trembling uncontrollably.

"First of all, yes, I'm disappointed in you—" Tahlia said, seeing Peter flinch again at the remark. "But it's more about my disappointment... I shouldn't have promised them that you would bear such a heavy responsibility alone. I'm sorry."

"Tahlia...?"

"No one knows more about Voldemort's horror than me, Peter, not everyone has the courage to face him like Sirius and the others...the words are bold, but they don't even have self-esteem in front of Voldemort." I've seen too many people who have completely abandoned—" Tahlia said, and the tone of that tone was unusually heavy, making it difficult to breathe. "So I can fully understand your behavior──" After seeing Peter's joyful expression, he immediately continued. "But that doesn't mean I'll forgive you."

Peter curled up again.

"It's impossible for me to forget that because of your cowardice, you caused the deaths of James and Lily, caused their son Harry to urinate without the love of his parents, and even almost let Sirius take the blame for you—" she said, every word They all sternly hit Peter's heart. "Now you are obliged to make up for the mistakes you have made, which is why I will not kill you." There was a pause. "do you understand?"

Peter froze for a while, then nodded slowly.

"I can't forgive you, but I don't have the right to blame you for your personality, only you can be responsible for your own life." Tahlia continued. "So, now I have a request, and I hope you can agree to—"

"What... what?"

"I should ask, do you regret it?" Tahlia asked softly. She hadn't sat down since just now, but had been standing, staring at Peter from top to bottom.

"I..." Peter was in a daze, unable to make a sound for a while, finally managed to squeeze out a sentence. "I... of course."

How could he not regret it, James died because of his betrayal──

"So do you want to correct your mistake?" Tahlia asked, watching Peter shake his body again, and finally nodded slowly.

Tahlia poured a glass of water and handed it to Peter before continuing. "I know you have questioned more than once whether you were assigned to the wrong school." Peter froze for a moment. "And what I'm trying to say is that questioning that doesn't help at all—you just have to try your best to not be ashamed of Gryffindor, try to find the courage to take your mistakes and face them, can you do that? "

"I guess so," Peter whispered.

"So," Tahlia cleared her throat, seeing that Peter seemed to have finally made up her mind, looking up at herself with rare determination.

"I need you to find Voldemort, Peter."
