[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Another rumor has surfaced at the school in recent days, and it's even more unbelievable than the previous rumors about Nigel Snape's motherhood.

It is extremely rare that this time the rumors were spread jointly by Slytherin and Hufflepuff houses.But on the first night of the class, many people saw their Potions professor and teaching assistant pulling each other in the cellar corridor, and then their teaching assistant was picked up by Professor Snape, and the two walked away , disappeared directly behind the door of the potion classroom.

But no one dared to catch up to find out what happened afterwards──but later, many of them also saw Professor Watson rushing out of the potions classroom alone, looking flustered, stumbling along the way, several times They almost ran into the students or the armor next to the wall, and in the end Diggory from Hufflepuff couldn't help but stepped forward to help, and then sent their potions assistant back to her office safely. Probably only Diggory became troubled after completing the task, and went into NigelSnape's room for a long time.

……Back to the topic.

After hearing about this, almost all the students in the school were very curious about what happened to the two professors. Various versions spread quickly, and the most normal one was Slytherin's version. Professor Watson passed out suddenly in the middle of walking. And Professor Snape had to carry her back to his office, and Watson fled from the Potions classroom in a hurry because of too much embarrassment after waking up.After all, one of the two parties involved was their headmaster, and no matter what, they didn't dare to make fun of Professor Snape without authorization.

In comparison, the versions of several other colleges are much more interesting.

Whether it's Professor Snape who loves captives, or Professor Snape can't bear the loneliness for many years and drags Watson to seek comfort... No matter which version, as long as the Potions Professor hears about it, it is conceivable that their lives will be different in the future how miserable.

But even so, Professor Snape's power still couldn't dampen their enthusiasm for gossip about others - especially school professors.

"Do you think they are lovers? I heard from my father that they are the same age and have known each other since they were students—"

"It's very possible. It is said that they are also spies at the same time, and their relationship must be very good."

"Maybe they're engaged... see the ring on Professor Watson's finger?"

"You mean, Professor Snape proposed to Professor Watson... long ago? When? Is that why Professor Watson decided to come back?"

"...No, there is a big question, where did Professor Watson go?"

And so on, you can see groups of students gossiping together everywhere, and everyone seems to be interested in discussing why.

Only one person was very angry about these rumors, and that person's name was Nigel Snape.

Nigel almost exhausted all his strength to force himself to take out his wand and rush to the dark place after hearing these rumors. He had to tell himself over and over again that even if he rushed there like this now, he still had no ability to deal with that annoying person. What about the man, maybe he will suffer another loss from him──

Who the hell spread these damn rumors!

If he found out, the twins would be delighted to get more test subjects!

Nigel absent-mindedly cursed those gossipers along the way. As a result, he just turned a corner and fell into someone's arms, and almost fell backward due to the ensuing reaction force. Fortunately, he hit The person on the top pulled himself back in time.

It just hurt the bridge of his nose... just now, the force was too great, his eyebrows were tightly knit together in pain, and he unconsciously reached out his hand to cover the sore nose—oh, damn it!

Only then did he suddenly realize that what he saw in front of him was the whole body of black cloth.

Damn damn damn damn damn!

Nigel couldn't help cursing inwardly.

He was so unlucky-

"Mr. Snape." Snape frowned, looked at the black-haired boy holding his nose in front of him, slowly let go of the boy's hand, and spoke lightly. "I thought the person with the eye problem should be your mother..."

Nigel glared at Snape bitterly. "Sorry, sir." After saying that, he moved to the side and was about to leave, but was stopped immediately.

"and many more."

Nigel turned his head suspiciously, staring at Snape warily.

Only then did he realize that the man's face seemed a little haggard, maybe he wasn't the only one who didn't sleep well all night recently.

"What else is there?" After thinking for a while, he asked plainly.

Snape moved his lips, but made no sound. After a while, he took out something and handed it to Nigel, before speaking. "This is her wand."

Nigel blinked, not reacting to what Snape said for a moment, but took Tahlia's wand in a daze of reflex.

"Also, in the past few days, you find some people to take turns leading your mother—"

"...I thought you—"

"I think..." Snape interrupted Nigel, raising his hand. "You shouldn't object."

Nigel kept his mouth shut for a moment before he looked up, staring at Snape silently. "You've provoked her again." He said with no expression on his lips.

Snape was silent, and it took him a long time to answer. "No, I think the situation this time is exactly the opposite of what you think, whether you believe it or not—" After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Nigel's response, and walked sideways to the boy who was stunned for a moment, and left.

He was right.

Snape could roughly guess what was going through Tahlia's mind, guilt.

But she doesn't need it... He clearly knows that she doesn't need to feel guilty, compared to the mistakes she made, she didn't do anything to herself at all—even so, it seems that she is not ready to face herself in a short time.

And this time, he didn't intend to push her too hard.

Tahlia has never been threatened by violence, even the Dark Lord did not make her submit in such a simple and simple way, even so, she only obeyed on the surface, but secretly never really loyal.

Approaching with malice will only have the opposite effect, and it will never be possible for her to admit it from the bottom of her heart.

If he had learned anything during the previous two-month vacation, it was that Tahlia was never ruthless in rejecting the kindness of a person who put down her body. She has been hurt, as long as she feels sincere, she will accept it.

Lucius was one, Black was one... and many, many others, even Pettigrew, who had betrayed the Potters and killed the Potters, had also been forgiven by her.

There's no reason you can't do it yourself.

In particular, having mulled over Tahlia's behavior since their reunion, Snape was uncommonly optimistic about it.

The days to come are still long, he doesn't need to worry──

Time passed quickly, just a few weeks passed, during this time Snape didn't take the initiative to get close to Tahlia, and Tahlia always avoided him from a distance, even in the Potions class, she stood silently at the end of the classroom Head, so that you can be the first to leave the moment the class is over.

Snape knew that Tahlia didn't need a student leader to walk from her office to Potions these days, and although she still had to call for someone to show her to the Great Hall for dinner, she did get to know the castle, anyway, it was good thing.

While thinking, Snape pushed open the door of the Potions classroom, walked in quickly, and waited for the bell to ring.

Not long after the students were almost seated and Snape had returned last week's homework, Tahlia slowly opened the door and walked in, then remained where she was standing before, quietly He didn't say a word.

I don't know when it started, the whole school has discovered that Tahlia's eyes have problems, Snape is not surprised, after all, Tahlia never intends to hide this matter, so the news spread naturally.

Tahlia Watson, the witch who has been confirmed to be a spy beside the Dark Lord, is now blinded by the curse cast by the Dark Lord himself. These few words spread throughout the entire castle instantly at an abnormal speed. They also quickly learned about this from their children. Perhaps a large part of the owl letters pouring in on Monday morning was due to last week’s Daily Prophet. Fortunately, she can’t see it now, and she didn’t show up that day. In the hall, otherwise her mood may fluctuate even more. After all, Tahlia is extremely lacking in self-confidence and always blaming herself. In theory, this is definitely not a good thing, but Snape also knows that there is no way to overcome such psychological emotions. A spell or potion for quick healing was another reason why he had decided to keep her at a distance first.

However, looking at the dark-haired woman at the back of the classroom with her still expressionless face, Snape suddenly felt that perhaps it was time to take further action.

"Ten points from Ravenclaw, late for class." He pulled himself out of his thoughts, returned to class, and said coldly to the students who rushed into the classroom after the bell rang and almost bumped into Tahlia Open your mouth. "Another ten points will be deducted for trying to hurt the professor."

That Ravenclaw turned pale in an instant, but his past experience told him that he shouldn't refute, so he touched his nose resignedly and quickly walked to his place to stand still.

"Now..." Snape scanned the classroom and spoke. "Let's start."

Almost the moment Snape opened his mouth, Tahlia, who was standing at the back of the classroom, tensed her nerves and paid attention to her surroundings. After a few weeks of getting used to it, she found that she could easily and accurately use the voices made by the students To judge the direction and the approximate distance, even, she can know where Snape is now just by the sound of Snape's footsteps walking back and forth in the classroom.

"I don't expect you to surpass your predecessors." Snape's voice flowed into Tahlia's ears like silk, well, the aisle between the third and fourth rows was going from the first row to the back of the classroom. "I just ask you to at least have the level you should have to enter this advanced class." The voice paused, and then there was the rustling of chalk writing on the blackboard in front of it. "Soothes the mind."

"what?"

"Psychic sedative?"

Then, there was the noise of the students who were obviously too stunned and started to rummage through the textbooks frantically.

Tahlia was just as confused, completely unaware of Snape's purpose in changing the content of the class so suddenly, after all—

"This is not the content of NEWTs, sir." Sure enough, after they failed to find the content related to the magic soothing potion from the textbook, a student finally boldly raised his hand to ask a question.

"Could it be that you can't hold any extra-curricular knowledge in your mind except for exams?" Tahlia chuckled to herself, and Snape's tone sounded like 'He's willing to give in to teach them extra-curricular knowledge and how can they not be moved?' T instead questioned his 'look. "Five points from Ravenclaw, Mr. Smith, for your lack of progress."

The original whispers stopped for an instant.

"The steps are already on the blackboard, if you have no other questions, then I suggest you start." Snape's voice came out coldly again.

Tahlia relaxed her shoulders and listened intently again, when she heard Snape approaching, taking her already tense mood to another level in an instant.

Honestly, she doesn't know what to do with Snape now, she can't even remember the last time they spoke - at least the brief and awkward times she had with the man in front of her after that - at least as far as she was concerned. It was extremely embarrassing──the conversations were all vague in her memory.

Damn at least he had to say something didn't he?Angry insults or nasty accusations are fine...at least he should show something!She had no memory of ever being so brutal to someone, especially Snape.

"I never said you had to stand here, Tahlia." Snape's voice slid into her ear in exactly the same tone as he had spoken to the students just now. "This is also your classroom---"

Still not an accusation.

Tahlia didn't speak, just lowered her head slightly.

What the hell did Snape mean...how could he have continued to be pleasant after he had lost his temper with him for no apparent reason?Could it be that he knew that under his deliberate provocation, his emotions would lose control?

Yes, deliberately.She probably guessed what he was thinking at that time...

Thinking about it, she sighed.

That's why she really didn't know what to do.

"You should be angry..." After a while, she murmured.

"To you?" Snape raised an eyebrow, then sighed. "That's nothing to be angry about."

"The old you would have been absolutely pissed." Tahlia turned her face away. "I remember you said..."

Suddenly she felt a hand brush her hair behind her ear, and Tahlia froze for a moment, then shook her head sharply away from the contact. "Don't do that!" she hissed.

To her surprise, what she heard was a chuckle.

... She must be hallucinating from being too tense.Thinking about how these students in the class were still working hard to make potions, it was impossible for Snape, who was a potions professor, to laugh in his class.

"Since you remember what I said earlier, can I assume that you also remember what I told you earlier?" Snape's voice came into his ears again.

"What?" Tahlia asked stiffly, trying to move aside, but still didn't dare to look up.

Snape chuckled again, looking at Tahlia's bewildered expression amusedly, and after a while, deliberately slowed down his speech and spoke in a low voice.

"I said... I'm chasing you."
