[HP] Can you be gentle with me

"Bi-lly!!!!" A childish roar echoed through the entire house.

The three people who were chatting in the living room after dinner looked at Billy who was running downstairs in a panic, and all looked at him with contempt. He must have provoked Tahlia somewhere.

Sure enough, there was another sound of footsteps. Tahlia, who was more than ten years old, ran downstairs quickly and looked towards the living room. The long hair she had grown over the years was scattered behind her head because of anger, and her eyes were wide open, as if from the eyes. Ray stared at Billy who had to face him.

"My dear little sister, please forgive my brother!" Billy begged for mercy. "I really didn't mean to ruin your homework!"

Everyone showed suddenly enlightened expressions. Tahlia, who always regards books as the bible, always reacts like this when someone spoils her hard work. After so many years, only Billy can make fun of Tahlia's homework with both hands and brains.

"Why didn't you say that last time you deliberately sprinkled biscuit crumbs on my book so that insects from somewhere gnawed off my book? And what happened to the marks on my relativity book last time? Not to mention Last time..." Tahlia grabbed the broom next to the stairs and started chasing and beating Billy who was running around.

"Please help!" Billy wailed as he fled.

The three people sitting on the sofa rolled their eyes together, not bothering to get involved.

He is hopeless.

After seeing that Tahlia seemed to have vented almost, Josh got up, grabbed Billy, slapped his head hard, and threw him on the sofa. "Okay, Tahlia, no matter what he does, your book will somehow return to its original state, so let him go!"

This has always made the four of Josh feel very strange, as if their previous pranks were all a dream, because when they went to see them the next day, those traces would disappear inexplicably, if they didn't know that Tahlia hadn't gone out at all, They all thought she was silently buying a new one.

It was right to think about it, although Tahlia herself didn't know why it happened, she sat down angrily, making her elongated face return to a cute look. Billy immediately poured a glass of juice and handed it to Tahlia, as if apologizing.

Seeing Billy's expectant expression, Tahlia wanted to turn her head away, but accidentally smiled.He took a sip of the juice and said seriously. "Don't use my homework next time!"

"Of course." Billy quickly agreed.of course not!Who the fuck did that get little Tahlia's attention every time!He absolutely does not admit that he is jealous of those books!

It has been three years since they moved to Dover, and they have gradually gotten used to the peaceful life here by the sea.In the past three years, the four brothers worked hard to make money and spent frugally, and finally saved a lot of money. They used the money to open a small restaurant and became their own bosses. Unexpectedly, the business is not bad, but now they live a good life Very comfortable.

As for Tahlia, now there is only a little baby fat left, and her hair has grown long. Although many people think that Tahlia is Josh's daughter, Tahlia always smiles and proudly says, "That's my big brother." Enough See Tahlia's adoration of Josh.She originally wanted to be a doctor, but now she has a new ambition, which is to go to Josh's research institute to study with him.

"By the way, Tahlia, your birthday is coming soon. Is there any birthday gift you want?" Hamish, who has always been silent, asked rarely.

"Huh?" Tahlia just remembered that her birthday is coming soon, because her birthday is on 6/19, and the final exams are often approaching in school, so even Tahlia always forgets her birthday, but she My brothers always remember it, which makes Billy even more resentful of those books, and makes Tahlia forget her own birthday every year. How attractive are these ghost things?

"Let's go out to dinner this weekend!" Tony suggested. "It's been a long time since we went out to eat together! By the way, help Tahlia buy gifts?"

Foodie Billy immediately agreed, but he thought about it and said to Tahlia. "Let's say it first, you are not allowed to choose books for birthday presents."

"..." Tahlia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although she really likes reading books, she has never bought a book for her birthday, okay?

"There is a school graduation exam this year. Can we celebrate it in summer vacation?" This year is Tahlia's last year in elementary school. I have already applied for the public funding of Dover Middle School. If I study there, not only will the tuition be free, but I will also get a scholarship every year.

"I didn't know you were worried about the elementary school graduation exam?" Josh raised his eyebrows.Their little sister has already learned to go to the sky, how could she be passed by a mere elementary school graduation exam?

"Take every exam seriously." Tahlia said seriously.

So, they really have to rob people with books every year, and everyone feels helpless.

"Okay, let's wait until the summer vacation to celebrate dinner." Tony concluded. "However, we will deliver the birthday present to you on time, so just look forward to it!"

"Okay." Tahlia agreed. "I'm going upstairs to read a book first. Let's talk slowly!" After speaking, he got up and went upstairs.

This is making us jealous!The four men thought through gritted teeth.None of the four people who had automatically regarded books as their imaginary enemies had an anthropomorphic Lord Book who was laughing at them as a victor.hateful!Bring back their little sister!

Not surprisingly, Tahlia graduated from primary school with a No.1 grade.As soon as the graduation ceremony was over, she was arrested by her four brothers and took her to the restaurant to celebrate her birthday, completely preventing her from getting access to any books today.In this battle of stealing people, Mr. Bookben was completely defeated.

"Tahlia is 11 years old!" Billy said, raising his glass of wine. "cheers!"

Everyone clinked glasses one after another, and of course Tahlia's glass contained juice.

"Happy birthday, Tahlia!" Hamish said quietly.In the past few years, Hamish has been playing the role of silently supporting everyone. He seldom speaks, but as long as it is about family matters, he will never refuse.

"Thank you!" Tahlia said with a smile.She knows that her four brothers have sacrificed a lot to let her live a good life. They even prioritize Tahlia in finding a partner. As long as they feel that they can’t treat Tahlia well, they will be kicked out without saying a word. Tahlia often teases them According to their standards, they will probably be single for the rest of their lives. After all, very few people would treat a stranger without complaint, even if this person is her boyfriend's sister, especially if she treats her like her own daughter. , there should be no such person in the world!

Tahlia wants her brothers to be happy too. She has been persuading them not to worry about her, but the results are not good. The four sisters still feel that no woman is as cute as their own little sister. In the end, Tahlia finally gave up on helping her brothers. It's a match, it's just too unfulfilling.

Josh has always wondered why Tahlia is going to go to school at the same pace as ordinary people. She can directly apply to a good university, and even if she skipped a grade, she would have graduated earlier. Tahlia's answer is that she doesn't want to be with people her age. Out of touch, this answer is really perfect, but Josh always feels that this is not Tahlia's idea.

In fact, Tahlia really didn't want to skip a grade. If she skipped a grade, she might never see Snape again for the rest of her life. She didn't know why the boy she only got along with as a child would affect her so much. She thought, if She went to university as usual, maybe she would have the chance to meet Snape, after all, even if she didn't go to the same university, but her circle of friends expanded after she went to university, maybe one of her classmates would know Snape!But this reason obviously cannot be told to the brothers, otherwise they might talk to her every day about how sour vinegar is.

That night, everyone went to their rooms until late to rest. Tahlia lay on the bed, silently praying that such happiness would not slip away. Since moving here, this is what she does every night, never Intermittently, this is another secret she didn't tell her brothers.

Tahlia dreamed that everyone was going to have a picnic together, mom and dad were there, and it was strange that Snape was also there, and he used Tahlia's old lunch box lid, she couldn't help but chuckled, and received a glare from Snape unsurprisingly.

Then Tahlia suddenly floated up, higher and higher, and farther and farther away from everyone, but she couldn't land, and called out the names of her family members in a panic. The people below found her, but there was nothing they could do. She comes down.don't want!She doesn't want to leave them!But the body drifted farther and farther uncontrollably.

Suddenly, a voice appeared in the ear. "take it easy."

Tahlia turned her head and saw Snape floating beside her at some point. "You... how..."

"Don't be afraid, try to communicate with it and you'll be able to go down," Snape said.

"What... communicate with whom?"

Snape's impatience was written all over his face, and he barely rolled his eyes. "And the magic in you, is your head stuffed with straw?"

"Magic... magic power?"

"It's that weird feeling you felt before!" Snape growled under his breath. "Hurry up, you're running out of time!"

"How?" Tahlia asked.

"Believe it, it is part of your body, don't doubt its existence, it will listen to what you say."

Tahlia closed her eyes obediently, trying to find the feeling she had experienced three years ago. After a while, she 'saw' it. Although she closed her eyes, she could see a small group of light in the darkness ahead. "I think I see it."

"Well, tame it, soothe it," Snape's voice said.

Tahlia stretched out her hand and slowly touched the light, and then she touched it, it was warm but not hot, Tahlia said softly. "Are you OK?"

The light trembled slightly, as if responding to Tahlia. "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Another quiver.

"Can you get me back to the surface?" Tahlia asked gently. "I'd be scared at that height...I don't want to leave my family..."

This time, the light trembled fiercely, Tahlia opened her eyes and found that she was sitting on the grass, her legs were a little weak and she couldn't stand up.

"Can you... stand up?" Snape's voice came again, and Tahlia looked away, and sure enough he was standing beside him, Tahlia thought the words sounded familiar.

She nodded, then grabbed the hand of Josh who had already rushed to her side, and stood up with strength, automatically ignoring Josh's staring at Snape.

"Tahlia, are you getting up?"

What's the meaning?Aren't they having a picnic?

"Tahlia?"

"Touch!" Tahlia woke up instantly, feeling the whole bed fall heavily on the bedroom floor, making a loud noise.

"Tahlia?!" The knock on the door became urgent after this sound. "What happened? What was that noise? Are you okay?"
