[HP] Can you be gentle with me

"Hey, I said Tahlia, you shared his lunch, why did you thank him instead?" The brunette boy behind Tahlia poked her back and asked.

"Huh? Isn't that good?" Tahlia turned her head and smiled. "Anyway, my goal has been achieved, and maybe this is his way of expressing his gratitude."

The brown-haired boy was still puzzled and muttered in a low voice. "Sure enough, Snape's family is weird..."

"Okay, Will, don't say that…" Tahlia said.

Her eyes returned to Sanpe. At this time, Snape was lying on the table with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was about to take a nap, and only at this time of day, his expression would not be so gloomy, which would make his face look soft a little.This is Tahlia's favorite moment, just staring at him silently, without staring, only thin lips slightly pursed, so calm.

In this way, as long as it was a day when Snape didn't have lunch, Tahlia would divide half of her food into the lid of the lunch box and bring it to his table silently, and Snape didn't say much, just took the cutlery and started to eat, finished eating Finally returned it to Tahlia, and she thanked him, and he said no thanks.The students were all familiar with this strange pattern, maybe it was just like what Tahlia said, this was Snape's way of expressing his gratitude, but except for Tahlia, the others didn't feel that Snape had such a meaning at all.

Soon, the end-of-semester exams were approaching, and Snape's face was not as pale as it was at the beginning of school, and turned a little bloody because he had a normal lunch.Recently, the students in the class have obviously felt the pressure of the exam. Some students who usually only care about playing have been circling around Tahlia nervously these days, but Tahlia has no extra time to take care of these students.Although the exam is not a problem at all with her self-study progress, she still wants to spend more time reading more books. She is determined to become a doctor in the future. To achieve this goal, she must have excellent grades. The place where Tahlia usually stays most often is the library. After school, she must go to the library to do her homework, because once she returns home, she will start to help with the housework, and she may not have time. The same long-distance running in the library is Snape, Tahlia saw him reading a book several times in the corner. She had observed secretly a few times, and found that the books he read were fantasy books describing wizards and witches, or some legendary animals and plants, etc. Sometimes when you see something, you will show a contemptuous smile. Tahlia didn't expect that Snape would be a superstitious person, she always thought he was a very rational person who wouldn't believe in these weird things.

This day, Tahlia was late for her homework, and it was already dark when she left the library. She hurried away with her schoolbag on her back, thinking that she might sleep late because she still had things to do when she got home, but she didn’t notice When she passed by a small alley, a group of people in the alley secretly followed her with expressions of finding prey when she passed by.

By the time Tahlia found out, one of the group had put a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, why are you still alone at this hour?"

"What?" Tahlia realized that after such a pause, the group of people had already surrounded her, moving towards the corner step by step. "You...what are you going to do?" Tahlia didn't know what kind of pervert this group of people was. Just the way she was dressed, these people still smiled at her obscenely. She didn't know whether she should be happy with her femininity or angry with this group of people. People's special habits, while calmly looking for a way out of trouble.

"Just play with your brothers!" they said.As soon as he reached the dark corner, he began to reach for the clothes on Tahlia's body.The first to suffer was the backpack, which had been pitifully thrown at their feet.

At this moment, Tahlia desperately found that there was no possibility of escape, and began to struggle hard.

"Oh? Started to be scared?" They took hold of Tahlia's hands, one of which was already inside her clothes.

"Don't...don't..." Tahlia was terrified, for the first time she felt helpless and knew that no one was going to help her. "I beg you..." she kept saying, but this group of people seemed to be more excited.

Without warning, the small stones on the surrounding roads began to jump, the branches on the side creaked and shook, and things on the ground such as stones and empty wine bottles began to float into the air, and one of the wine bottles flew quickly and smashed On the head of one of them, it shattered, and that person suddenly bled like a column and fainted to the ground.Only then did the group notice the tingling sensation in the air around them.

Tahlia still begged unconsciously, as if she didn't feel anything at all.

"Damn it! Did you do it?" Someone suddenly grabbed Tahlia's short hair and forced her to look up, but she looked blank.The man was angry, and he slapped Tahlia's face with a slap. A red palm print instantly appeared on Tahlia's face, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth because of the force.Seeing that Tahlia didn't respond, the man raised his hand to slap again, but Tahlia suddenly looked at him with empty eyes... The next second, the man lost consciousness.

Snape hurried out of the library, just now he felt a distinct wave of magic power, very similar to the feeling emanating from his mother when she was beaten, and he secretly wondered how she came here, moving his feet quickly.

When he finally arrived at the source of the fluctuation, he happened to see things floating around, and white light erupted from a child. It was indeed a magic riot, but it was not the mother!Then the surrounding group of people all fell to the ground, and the floating objects also fell to the ground one after another, causing the ground to be full of broken glass.

Snape approached slowly, a child crouched on the ground sobbing, Muggle born? "Can you... stand up?" Snape said, swallowing the concerned words back.He knew that children after a magic riot would be very weak, because he was often like this when he was younger, most of them were forced out by his trash father, but he learned to control very early, and the child in front of him was probably the first time .

The child looked up, and Snape's dark eyes met Snape's, startling him.

"Tahlia Watson?" he asked in disbelief. Snape never thought that this person would be Tahlia, from his point of view the girl was just a normal learning Muggle who was just a little annoying and insisted on sharing his lunch, and Snape didn't bother to get close to the girl, he waited anyway. After going to Hogwarts, there will be no connection between them, but now, the magic riot came from her?Which means, she's a witch too, and a Muggle-born witch at that! Snape was well aware that the girl's family was pure Muggles, and while there were not uncommon instances of this, it was very, very rare.

"S...Snape?" Tahlia's eyes were filled with tears, and Snape's mind immediately recalled the girl who cried instantly by the river a few months ago because of his own words, and it turned out to be her!So they have actually seen it. "You... why are you here?"

"Passing by," Snape said.

"Oh." Tahlia withdrew her gaze, maintaining her squatting position on the ground.

"Let me tell you it's getting late, if I were you, I'd hurry home instead of squatting on the road." Snape couldn't help but say.

"Oh yes, go home..." Tahlia murmured, unconsciously wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, while trying to stand up, her footsteps were a little flimsy, and she staggered towards her home.He didn't notice a group of people lying down on the road at all, and he didn't mention what just happened.She turned around suddenly. "Ah, Snape, see you tomorrow."

"Ah."

Snape watched Tahlia go away, looking down in thought.According to Thalia's reaction just now, it seems that she doesn't quite remember what she did, did she forget?But what is certain is that the magic riot is indeed Thalia, but why the magic riot? Snape kicked the guy next to him. He was a well-known sex offender in the area. He probably understood that Tahlia was probably being targeted by them. They deserved it!He walked up to one of them again, he was the only one bleeding, Snape saw a stump of a wine bottle beside him, was it Tahlia?During the magic riot, he unconsciously controlled the wine bottle to hit this man with precision, so not only is he good at homework, but he may also be a good witch in the future?

There was a voice in the distance, Snape's expression changed, and he quickly left the scene through the dark alleyway.

The next day, a small corner of the newspaper published the arrest of a group of gangsters. The strange thing is that they were lying on the street by themselves, and then they were spotted by the passing police.The reporter inferred that it was probably caused by internal quarrels and fights.And Tahlia didn't come to school.

Snape walked into the classroom, went straight to his seat instead of his usual, but first looked at Tahlia's seat, and it wasn't there. Snape was sure that Tahlia was almost the first in the class to arrive usually, and sure enough, yesterday's magic riot had a big impact.The teacher walked in to announce the start of class, and a classmate raised his hand to report Tahlia's absence.

"Student Watson asked for leave today for some reason, and her brother notified me this morning."

Snape was staring at his textbooks, asking for leave?Didn't you say why?According to his understanding, there are many symptoms of discomfort after a magic riot, and if they are not handled properly, they will definitely affect their future life. Before Snape, his mother would boil medicine for him to relieve the discomfort after the magic riot, but Watson... Snape decided to take a potion tonight. Give it to her as a thank-you gift for a multi-day lunch.

Snape's lunch bag was empty that day, too, but without the girl who would distribute the food to him on the lid of the lunch box.
