[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Before they knew it, it was dinner time, and everyone decided to pack up and go to dinner.But Tahlia spoke. "Sirius, wait a minute and pack some food for me?" she said. "I want to stay a little longer, can you bring me back to the living room?"

"Yes yes yes..." Sirius said. "But what are you doing here?"

Tahlia smiles. "I didn't do anything, I just wasn't very hungry, I wanted to stay and read more books."

"...Okay then." Sirius agreed. "Is there anything in particular you want to eat?"

"It's okay, I probably..." She looked at the watch in her hand. "...Back to the saloon at eight o'clock, save me an armchair?"

"Okay." Sirius smiled.

The rest stood up and prepared to leave.

"Lily," Snape called.

"Ok?"

"I'm not going to the hall anymore, you go with them." He nodded his chin towards James.

Lily asked confusedly. "Why?"

"I thought of some questions, since Tahlia is here, I'll stay and ask her..." He looked at Tahlia questioningly. "agree?"

Tahlia nodded slightly.

"Then I'll stay too." Sirius said immediately, but Tahlia laughed out loud. "What's wrong?"

"You just agreed to help me get the food, what did you leave me for?" Tahlia said with a smile.

"But..." Sirius glanced at Snape who had already sat back in his seat. If he did something to upset Tahlia later, who would beat him up for her?

"It's okay," Tahlia said. "Right?" She looked at Snape.

"Yeah." Snape nodded.

"I think we'd better hurry…" Remus said. "Otherwise, it's time for dinner..." Although he still felt that something happened between Tahlia and Snape, looking at the situation just now, Snape should not do anything that would hurt her, and besides...he remembered Tahlia's precise control of making Snape's chair slide out with a wave of his wand may not be noticed by others, but he knows that Tahlia's knowledge of spells is definitely much higher than theirs, and even if Snape intends to use spells, Tahlia will definitely not be offended to what cheap. "James?"

"Well, let's go." James joined in persuading Sirius. "Don't forget you promised to help Tahlia get dinner."

"...Okay." Sirius agreed with some reluctance, and let the three of them drag him out of the library.

Tahlia spoke to Snape only after seeing the four of James out of sight. "Stay here on purpose, what's the matter with you?"

"No." Snape said flatly. "I do have questions to ask."

"Really?" Tahlia said. "what is the problem?"

Snape said slowly. "Preparation of Sophisticated Potions, I don't think you can't understand it at all."

Tahlia was taken aback for a moment, and then answered. "Hmm." She took out the potions book. "I really don't understand some things...but..."

"...but not to the point of ignorance," Snape continued. "Why did you say that before?"

Tahlia thought for a moment. "You said you asked me to find the dean."

"I've changed my mind," Snape said. "Maybe we will still do homework with a group of people in the future, and we can have less contact with each other in normal times, but we can't always keep talking when everyone is doing homework... You answered a lot of subjects for me, in exchange..." He pointed that book. "I'm willing to answer your questions about the potion, and besides, I can understand it better. I think it's fair?"

"I think so," Tahlia said.

"Glad we've reached an agreement," Snape said, ecstasy in his heart, but of course nothing showed on his face. "So... what's your question?"

Tahlia quickly opened the place she had marked with a bookmark. "Here . . . it says that morning dew is generally widely used as a palliative between two mutually repelling herbs, but here it is," she turned to the next page. "But it also says that the morning dew has strong medicinal properties and has mutual repulsion with most medicinal materials, so it is not suitable to be used in potions..." She raised her head. "How can there be such contradictory statements?"

Snape glanced at what Tahlia pointed out in the book, and replied. "Both sides are correct. The morning dew itself is indeed extremely medicinal, and it is mutually exclusive with most medicinal materials. Generally, it will not be used in potions—when the medicinal materials of the potion are not mutually exclusive. in the case of……"

It dawned on Tahlia. "Ah, I see," she said, grabbing a piece of parchment and taking notes. "If there is a situation in which the characteristics of the medicinal materials are mutually exclusive in the potion, you can add morning dew as a mitigation, because the morning dew can have a repulsive reaction with them, so that the two mutually exclusive medicinal materials become mild after the reaction, so it is It can be effective...but the dewdrops in the morning are rarely used in potions because of their mutually exclusive properties with many medicinal materials...I see!" She wrote in a hurry, and after a while, she raised her head and asked. "Am i right?"

Snape nodded in surprise, not expecting that he only hinted a small part, and Tahlia immediately understood. "That's probably what you said."

Tahlia smiled. "Thank you, it really helped a lot."

"No," Snape said. "It's just each other."

Then, Tahlia asked a few more questions, and Snape quickly answered them for her. Snape was really good at potions, and Tahlia felt that he knew Snape better again. She even felt that he was better than a seventh grader. Even more powerful.And Snape, who was in the state of explaining potions, was not as harsh as usual, she had never seen Snape who could speak so peacefully.

"Why are you so good at Potions?" Tahlia couldn't help asking.

"...my mother was gifted with potions..." Snape was silent for a moment before replying. "I think I got genetic."

"I see," Tahlia said. "Then your mother was a witch?"

Snape nodded.

Tahlia blurted out. "Then how did she..." get beaten up by Mr. Snape?She quickly ordered herself to shut up, without finishing the question.Still, Snape knew what she meant.

"It just happened," Snape said flatly.

"I'm very sorry."

"I don't think you were the cause of this, Miss Watson," he said, his tone slightly higher, but his expression unchanged.

"Oh..." Tahlia responded blankly.

Snape glanced at him, then looked at his watch. "I remember you just had an appointment with that Black at eight o'clock?"

"Yeah." Tahlia also looked at her watch. "My God! It's already this time..." The pointer on the watch pointed to seven fifty, and then he noticed Snape's unnatural, hesitant expression. "What's wrong?"

Snape hesitated before speaking. "I think that if you really want to keep your origin secret...you should choose your words carefully..."

"What did I just say?" Tahlia asked nervously.

"The wizarding world believes in Merlin, not God..." Snape said. "…you should probably change your mouth."

Tahlia opened her mouth slightly, and she almost gave up because of this particle. Fortunately, there were only the two of them here, otherwise it would be a tragedy if other students in the academy heard it.

"Thank you," she said.

Snape waved. "No, you'd better go back quickly, I don't want that Black to come and make trouble again if he can't see you..."

"...Well, I'll go first then." Tahlia stuffed everything into her backpack, slung her shoulders, said goodbye to Snape hurriedly, and ran out of the library.

Tahlia started running down the hallway, and within a few days she'd had two runaways, which she'd always done when she got to Hogwarts, she thought to herself, sarcastically.We're almost there, turn the corner ahead...

"Oh!" She bumped into a person, and then bounced back heavily due to the reaction force and fell to the ground, but the person who was hit only swayed but stood still.

"Watson." The man said calmly.

Tahlia raised her head, her eyes widened, why did Lucius bump into so many people... "Uh...sorry, Senior Lucius." She stood up in a bit of embarrassment.

"I don't think I need to remind you to be more careful?" Lucius said. "You're in a dangerous situation, Miss Watson."

Tahlia murmured. "Sorry...but I was in a hurry..."

"Anyway," Lucius said. "Remember what I said..." After saying that, he walked slowly past Tahlia and left.

"Huh..." Tahlia breathed a sigh of relief, walked a few steps forward and said the pass word to the Slytherin entrance, stepped in after the door opened, Sirius had already occupied two seats, and was sitting anxiously Seemingly hesitating in her seat whether to leave to find herself, Tahlia looked at her watch, well, no wonder, after all, it was already ten past eight.

"Sirius." Tahlia walked towards Sirius. "Sorry, I'm late……"

"It's okay." Sirius waved his hand. "I thought something happened to you..."

Tahlia smiled, picked up the sandwich that was clearly meant for her on the table, and took a bite. "Sirius, it's not so easy for me to just run into things..." She sat down.

"Of course I know, it's just..." It's just that Tahlia's personality of not taking the initiative to guard against others unless they hurt her is really worrying...

"Just what?"

"No." Sirius said immediately.

Tahlia just gave him a suspicious look before continuing to eat her sandwich.

After a while, Tahlia's sandwich was almost done, and she asked Sirius. "Tomorrow is the weekend, do you have any plans?"

"James wants to hang around the castle, and I'll be with you too, right?" Sirius said. "We're going to go to the secret passage that we didn't go in last time." When it came to the secret passage and exploring the castle, Sirius' eyes twinkled with many little stars.

Tahlia thought for a moment. "Well, I'll go with you."

"That's great." Sirius smiled, he thought Tahlia would just stay in her room and read for two full days. "James must be happy too."

"Haha." Tahlia laughed. "It's a rare leisurely weekend, and if the exam is approaching, it won't be so leisurely..."

"...Tahlia, it's only the third day of school." Sirius said helplessly. "It's very oppressive to mention the final exam as soon as the school starts."

"Yeah." Tahlia said seriously. "So we can take it easy this weekend."

Sirius wailed, so that might not be the case for the rest of the weekend?Who's going to save his perfect weekend?
