[HP] Can you be gentle with me

By the time Sirius Black stepped into that ward again, it was already the next night.

He originally only planned to go home for a short rest, but maybe he was too exhausted from the battle. When he woke up, he realized that such a long time had passed, and came back again after rushing to fill his stomach.

And Snape was still there, which surprised him.

Could it be that, as Remus said, Snape really fell in love with Tahlia as they thought...?

Is it really possible for him to... fall in love with someone?

"Snape?" He walked over involuntarily.

Nothing happens.

"I said, Snape?" He insisted, calling again.

This time, however, Snape's eyeballs moved, gave him a blank look, then returned to their original position, continuing to stare at Tahlia.

There was something wrong with him.

That's the only thing Sirius is sure of right now.

"How's Tahlia?" he asked casually, though he wasn't expecting a response from Snape.

But what surprised him even more was that it seemed that Snape paid special attention to Tahlia's name. After hearing Sirius' casual question, he turned his head sharply and spoke hoarsely. "Black."

Sirius opened his mouth wide open for a moment. "You..." He coughed lightly and asked again. "I'm asking you, how is Tahlia?"

Snape's eyes gradually focused, and he answered blankly. "So far they haven't found out what spell the Dark Lord is using."

"So?" Sirius also became bewildered. "You still haven't said what's going on with her..."

"She saved her life," Snape said flatly, turning back again. "She's not dead."

Sirius suddenly became angry.

When did Snape become such a ignorant character!No matter what he asked, he would only get this kind of answer that anyone could tell... He almost thought he had become a fool.

damn it.

But now that these therapists are so busy, he can't just disturb them...

Praying secretly that they would soon lift the spell on Tahlia, Sirius decided not to talk to Snape for the time being, he had another very important thing to do.

He had to tell Nigel about this...

But what should he say? Tahlia was everything to Nigel - what could he say to appease the kid?After all, he is already eight years old, and many things are not so easy to get over...especially his unusual dependence on Tahlia──

Sirius felt his head all tangled up in an instant, he sighed, gave Tahlia one last look, and walked away slowly.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Snape stood there in a daze.

But not all.

Snape's mind was racing, flashing through all the potions he'd seen in the past... there must be - there must be something he could make.

What Black said earlier was not wrong.

Who can save Tahlia...

That's right, only him.

"……gentlemen?"

Only he can find a way to save Tahlia—

"gentlemen!"

What?

Snape came back to his senses and realized that the previous group of healers had all left at some point, leaving only one, and he was standing in front of him.

Tahlia still lay there quietly, not moving.

Snape briefly looked away from Tahlia to the healer, looking down at him slightly.

Seeing that Snape didn't seem to be planning to speak, the therapist spoke after hesitating for a while. "Her condition has stabilized."

"...she didn't wake up."

The therapist froze for a few seconds before continuing to explain. "We will find a way to wake her up. In short, you can rest assured that the spell is no longer life-threatening."

Snape nodded, indicating that he understood, the therapist didn't say anything more, turned around and left in a hurry, they were all exhausted, he just wanted to lie down and sleep now.

No life threat?

Snape walked over slowly, pulled a chair and sat down with a sullen face.

"What on earth are you thinking?" he whispered. "Impulsively breaking the spell, making everyone worry about you...and you just— just laying here?"

"What should I...what should I do with you?"

No response.

The whole room is still silent, like a space isolated from the world, he has no way of knowing what happened outside, he just wants to stay here now.

Everyone should be celebrating, right?

After all, the Dark Lord is dead.

Snape buried his face in his hands.

It's not something to celebrate at all, it's not at all...

He didn't care about the Dark Lord's life or death at all, he just wanted—he just wanted Tahlia to open her eyes and say a word to him...

But the wizarding world is indeed boiling.

After the Dark Lord was quietly resurrected but was killed immediately, the next day's newspaper headlines were full of headlines that could make all wizards lose their minds, and Voldemort's eyes widened and he fell to the ground with his limbs splayed The photo, with the young savior Harry Potter looking at him in astonishment.

It's a pity that no one was able to find Harry Potter's whereabouts afterwards, as if he disappeared completely.This made the reporters anxious, and Merlin knew how much they wanted to find the savior, and reported on him.

But none of this has anything to do with Harry, he is now peacefully staying in Tahlia's small apartment with Nigel, and he hasn't even gone back to school. According to the letter from Draco, the school gate has already been crowded with a bunch of reporters. , he didn't want to go back now.

It was Sirius who had brought Nigel back, too, after he'd left himself here first.

Harry didn't intend to bother Nigel now, because since Sirius told him about Tahlia's accident, he seemed to have lost his soul, sitting on the sofa in a daze, not saying anything, even taking his favorite potions book It failed to attract his attention.

Tahlia must have been hurt badly, otherwise it would be impossible not to come back to see Nigel now, which made it even more difficult for Harry to tell Nigel what happened at that time.

Sighing a little, he looked at the clock on the wall and decided he had to go out and do some shopping before they came back hungry... Luckily Tahlia kept some Muggle money in the drawer.

"Nigel, I'm going to buy some food, you stay here and don't run out." Even though he knew that Nigel would probably not respond to him, Harry said something before slowly opening the door and leaving.

At almost the same time, an unexpected person came to the Daily Prophet.

The blond man had a perfect smile on his face. After glancing at the reporters present, he slowly opened his mouth in a deliberately protracted tone. "I think you may have a lot of...doubts?"

Lucius Malfoy?

Several people looked at each other.

Although they had learned from various sources that Lucius Malfoy was not involved in the battle, they would not be naive to think that the slick Mr. Malfoy, who had been cleared but was undoubtedly a former Death Eater, would be innocent. I just want to come and chat with them.

"I guess you're trying to find Harry Potter?" He spoke again.

"You... how do you know?" one of the reporters blurted out.

Lucius kept his usual smile. "Is not it?"

Everyone looked at each other blankly again.

How should I put it, they are really in urgent need of subject matter, but this time, whether it is the resurrection or the fall of the Dark Lord, it came suddenly, so they have no information at all, even when the first reporter who heard about the matter arrived, there was no news. They only had time to take photos they used to make up for the front page. As for when the Dark Lord planned his resurrection, who helped him resurrect, and how he died afterwards, they didn't know at all, let alone what happened afterwards The Azkaban Prison Break...

I thought I could find out something from some of the people who were present at the time, but they also disappeared together with Harry Potter. The Aurors were all silent, and they didn't want any news at all. Lupine also hid in the Black house, so we can't want them They ran directly to the door of Sirius Black's house and clamored for an interview, they were dying, who knew if Black's old house would do anything to them──

"Mr. Malfoy." Finally, a wizard from the innermost position stepped forward, and he was obviously the most senior one by far. "What do you want us to do when you come here yourself?"

Lucius smiled, glanced around at the crowd for some unknown reason, and then spoke. "I want to buy the front page for the next three days."

"What?" The wizard exclaimed immediately.At this moment, how could they agree to Lucius Malfoy's request? If they fail to follow up and report on the Dark Lord tomorrow morning, the public will be completely disappointed. It is conceivable that their newspaper sales will be very tragic. number. "How is this possible—"

"You should at least let me finish first, shouldn't you?" Lucius raised his eyebrows, and then took out a thick document from his pocket. "Here." He swung his wand, sending the document flying towards the wizard. "All the information I have is here. I hope you will report it truthfully without missing a single word."

The wizard took it suspiciously, glanced at it inadvertently, and instantly widened his eyes. "Merlin──" He looked up in horror and looked up at Lucius. "Is this true? That Tahlia Watson—"

"All the corroborating materials are also in it, you can find that the information I gave you is absolutely correct." Lucius said lazily. "It's only good for you, I'm paying for the front page and you have news to write about... maybe you should think about it before you say no to me."

"This..." The wizard hesitated for a while, but was persuaded in no time. "Okay, we accept."

Lucius nodded. "Please." After saying that, he left slowly.

He had done what he had promised, and now it was time for the other party to deliver... Dumbledore.

After Lucius left, several wizards surrounded him.

"Robert, what did Malfoy give you?"

Robert was obviously still in shock. The document Lucius Malfoy gave them was like a gift from the sky. He couldn't believe such good luck...

"Look for yourselves." Finally, he managed to regain his senses, and said to his colleagues, and then threw the document over, and after a few glances, their reaction was exactly the same as his just now. "I want to see the report on time before the deadline tonight, understand?"

"clear."

Early the next morning, the Daily Prophet was sold out, forcing them to quickly reprint a lot of copies.

The crowd was in an uproar, and wizards could be seen all over Diagon Alley, clutching newspapers, arguing with fellow travellers about the veracity of their reports.

The Daily Prophet used three full pages to report on this matter--about Tahlia Watson's true identity and her role in this incident were all written out in detail one by one.

Although most people didn't believe it at the beginning, after all, Watson has always been regarded as one of the lackeys of the Dark Lord, and has escaped trial many times with scheming, but the newspaper continued to publish some stories about her relationship with the headmaster of Hogwarts on the following day. After Albus Dumbledore's communication records and Sirius Black's oral argument were added, everyone was shocked for a while...

So is Tahlia Watson really a spy sent to the Dark Lord's camp from the beginning?And judging from the content of the report, she was even just a student at the time...

This is really unbelievable, but they even released the communication records, and, after this report was published, the media went to Dumbledore and immediately got a positive answer. It was written in detail in the newspapers for three days.

This is the game of the century with the Dark Lord, they say.

On the fourth day, the hall of St. Mungo's was suddenly full of wizards, men and women, young and old, all gathered here, just because someone found out that Watson was here now, and seemed to be unconscious.

Still in a coma...

Although the hall was crowded with people, it was unusually quiet.

They've figured out one thing -- and at this moment they all hope that Tahlia Watson will wake up.

She saved them, she almost sacrificed herself to save them.

And now, it seemed that only Merlin could save her.
