[HP] Can you be gentle with me

The next morning, Snape changed Tahlia's bandage again, and it was obvious that the skin on her arm was no longer bruised. It seemed that as long as the medicine was applied regularly, the wound would heal quickly.

They didn't continue to talk about Nagini later, not because they didn't want to talk, but because they knew too little. No matter how they discussed it, it was just speculation. The only thing they were sure of was that it was a poisonous snake, and it might be magical. Mystical creatures, nothing more.

As for why Voldemort chose such a snake to carry with him, or when he found Nagini, they had no way of knowing now.

After a full day of rest, and the potion Snape had given her, Tahlia found that she was able to get out of bed and walk, although she still felt a little dizzy and wobbly, but she still wanted to go back sooner, After all she'd only told Nigel she'd be gone for a day or two, and she didn't want him to worry at all—

"By the way, what do you do about Potions class when you leave school so suddenly?" Tahlia didn't object to Snape holding her body firmly when she couldn't stand for a while, but turned her head and asked indifferently .He only came over the day before yesterday to say that he would come along, but now it's been two days, and it's not the weekend, and the school is still in class, so could it be that Snape really dropped the school class?

Snape held Tahlia's arm firmly. "The headmaster has made arrangements." With a wave of his wand with his free hand, all the items he brought flew into his box and arranged them obediently. With another wave, the box shrank to the size of only one hand left Big, and was finally tucked into his robes. "Let's go." As he said, he let go of his hand slightly, letting Tahlia walk forward on his own, while he followed behind, carefully watching in case Tahlia staggered suddenly again.

After leaving the hotel, Tahlia realized that they were not in the UK. Maybe Snape found a hotel in any nearby village and settled down for a while. It was quiet here. Tahlia silently looked at the black forest in the distance, it was hard to imagine That was the dark place where Voldemort hid, the contrast between the two was too great...

Then she stretched out her uninjured left arm and let Snape hold it from behind, and the next second, she was apparated by Snape and disappeared in place.

The place where they appeared was familiar to Tahlia. "Grimmauld Place?" She raised an eyebrow. "You surprised me." She never knew that Snape would know about this place, after all, his relationship with the people who lived there was as bad as it could be.

There was no emotion on Snape's face. "It's impossible for me to have no idea where his residence is located... considering how often he came to my house to make trouble..."

"Sirius doesn't have the time to investigate your residence just to make trouble for you. I don't believe that he would go to you for no reason, Snape." Tahlia said quietly, ignoring the sudden change of expression on her face. Snape, who was in a complicated situation, stepped forward first, reached out his left hand and knocked on the door a few times.

In less than a minute, the door was opened.

"Oh, thank you Merlin, you're here!" Sirius opened the door, as soon as he saw Tahlia, he grabbed her hand and pulled it in as if he had met a benefactor—

"Hiss—" Tahlia let out a sound in pain, not for anything else, but because Sirius' hand was holding her wound impartially.

Sirius froze for a while, then let go of his hand as if it was scalded. "Are you hurt?" he asked, and as he asked, he took Tahlia's hand again and carefully opened her sleeve with the other hand. "Merlin! You're really hurt!" He exclaimed.

Tahlia slowly withdrew her arm. "It's okay, Snape's been healed."

"Snape?" Sirius looked suspicious, and then he looked past Tahlia, who was slightly sideways, and saw Snape standing behind him, glaring at him with displeasure. "Snape!" he said through gritted teeth. "What is he doing here!" He stared back unwillingly.

"...It's a long story." Tahlia smiled helplessly. "I'll explain it to you another day...how is Nigel?"

Sirius glared at Snape several more times before suddenly thinking of something. "Speaking of which, it's a good thing you're here... Nigel is throwing a tantrum at me! Not even Regulus can coax him..."

Tahlia was momentarily confused. "He got angry with you?" Nigel never lost his temper. It should be said that she really couldn't think of any reason why Nigel would get angry with Sirius. "how come?"

"Well...it's a long story..." Sirius smiled wryly and shrugged. "Hey! Anyway, come and see for yourself──" He said, taking a few steps back to allow Tahlia to go further inside.

But when Snape was silent and was about to follow, he stretched out his hand to block Snape's eyes. "I didn't intend to let you into my house, Snape."

Snape glanced at Sirius and spoke slowly. "I said I'm going in?"

"Of course you—what!" Sirius was about to continue his sarcasm, but was momentarily overwhelmed by Snape's reply. "You won't come in?" He thought that this guy would definitely follow in!

"I didn't mean it... but since you did, then—" Snape smirked. "I reluctantly accept your invitation." As he said, maintaining the same expression, he stretched out his hand and waved Sirius' impolite hand in front of him, strode into the house, followed by a few strides. By Tahlia's side, Sirius was left stunned at the gate with a stunned expression, as if he still didn't understand what he just said.

"Snape!"

Ignoring the sudden roar coming from behind, Snape only felt a burst of pleasure in his heart, and Tahlia obviously didn't intend to comment on it, and just led Snape quickly to the living room of Black's old house.

"Tahlia! Thanks Merlin, it's so good to have you!"

A door at the end of the corridor suddenly opened, and then a man with a somewhat embarrassed appearance flashed out. This man, who had a lot of similarities to Sirius in his brows, was the same as his brother. The first thing he saw Tahlia was This sentence.

Tahlia became more and more curious about why Nigel lost his temper... unexpectedly, Regulus, who has always been stable, became so embarrassed──

"What did Nigel do..." she asked, stepping forward quickly, directly into the room with the open door. "Nigel... how do you—"

He stopped abruptly.

Merlin...

"Nigel..." Tahlia's eyes widened, but she only called out Nigel's name and didn't know what to say.

The room was in a mess, with broken pages, parchment, and some feather fragments scattered all around... There was a table inside. Tahlia was sure that this heavy stone table was not here, maybe Sirius and the others asked Nigel She asked for it, and after seeing what was on the table, she probably understood what was going on... It was a cauldron.

An empty cauldron, black as if it had been scorched...with a black circle radiating from the cauldron on the surface of the table.

She knew what was going on without even thinking about it, and of course, Tahlia was sure that Snape, who was following behind with black lines on his face, also understood...

Potion accident.

"Whoa! Tahlia!"

And the instigator of this accident burst into cheers after seeing Tahlia's appearance, and the next second, he rushed over excitedly and slammed into Tahlia's arms.

Tahlia looked down. "Nigel! What did I tell you? About making potions—" She had clearly warned him!She won't stop him from experimenting, but everything is on the principle of safety. What's going on with this apparent explosion?

"You said to be careful." Nigel raised his head seriously and said.

Tahlia froze. "Then what's the matter—"

"Ah, sorry..." A voice suddenly came from behind. "That's what I did..."

Tahlia turned her head and stared at the embarrassed looking man who walked in. "Sirius, I need to explain—" Nigel pursed his mouth the moment he saw Sirius walk in, turned around without saying a word, and didn't even want to give him a look.

Seeing this, Tahlia finally understood──

"You blew up his potion?" she asked, though she knew the answer already.

Sirius nodded with a sad face, trying to let himself ignore Snape who was sneering contemptuously at him, stepped forward and squatted in front of Nigel, who turned his back to him in a fit of anger, and spoke nicely. "Okay...Nigel—I admit it was my fault, I shouldn't have scared you on purpose when you were making potions...forgive me, okay?"

Nigel glanced back at Sirius furtively, then turned around again, snorting.

Sirius raised his head and looked at Tahlia as if asking for help, but only got a look from her asking him to ask for blessings. He sighed softly and continued to try to appease Nigel. "Nigel, don't be angry, or... I'll make a new pot with you──"

"And make a more sensational explosion? Black... I'm worried about your potion abilities—" Snape's gloating voice suddenly came from behind.

Hearing Snape's voice, Nigel froze for a moment, then turned his head warily and stared at Snape, forgetting for a moment to keep ignoring Sirius.

Of course Snape noticed it too, and suddenly felt dumbfounded.This child is still very wary of him, he doesn't understand at all, he doesn't remember that he has ever bullied this child—not to mention that this child is still clearly showing a look of blame for why he would appear here, which makes him Even more helpless.

He can still confirm one thing, that is, Nigel is definitely the most special child he has ever seen in his life──

Snape didn't bother trying to get Nigel to talk to him, but instead walked straight up and started observing the mess at the table.

There were several broken glass vials on the table, and there was still some light green liquid in one of the bottles. He casually picked up the bottle and brought it close to his nose to smell it, and then glanced at the remains of some materials left on the table──

"Undetectable Poisons (Undetectable Poisons)..." he murmured, but his eyes widened uncontrollably, calmly and uncontrollably. This is a magic potion that only the third graders will learn, and it's just a theory──they You only need to learn the characteristics of this potion, you don't need to actually make it at all──otherwise it will be a disaster in potions class...

Regardless of the fact that the potion requires precise control of the dosage of the ingredients, there are also very strict requirements on the timing, stirring speed, etc. of the magical potion in sequence... Maybe the students in his advanced potion class can make it... But Nigel?

Nigel wasn't even in school yet-

Snape gave Sirius a hard look that made him shiver unconsciously.

If it wasn't for that guy Black, maybe he wouldn't be seeing such a mess now, no, he couldn't be sure... maybe the kid would fail - but it might work, wouldn't it?After all, it was surprising enough for a child his age to have heard of the potion.

Nigel also forgot in a daze to keep staring at Snape, he was now full of surprise that he knew in the dark what potion he was going to make!And only glanced at the ingredients... Draco was right, the black paint potion was really powerful - no!wrong!Of course he couldn't admire the power of the dark potion!He wouldn't admit that Snape was amazing!

Absolutely not!

Giving Snape what he thought was the fiercest look yet again, Nigel turned his head and winked at Sirius, deciding to forget about Sirius' sabotage just now, now that they had a common enemy. "Sirius..." he said softly. "You can do it again with me..."
