[HP] Can you be gentle with me

"Severus, what is the special application of leech juice compared to a whole leech?"

Tahlia looked at the potion book in front of her in distress, and finally gave up after staring at it for a long time. She turned to Snape, who was also digging his head seriously, as if asking for help.

"Let me see..." Snape looked up and moved closer.

Tahlia moved slightly to the side to give him room. "Looking at what's written in this book, I think it's basically the same..." He said sadly.

The more advanced the potion book, the more uniform the recipes and production methods are. In the beginning, Tahlia was able to figure out the answer, but then she really had no choice. It couldn't be higher, and every time I saw Snape reading the super-difficult potion book with great interest, I became more aware that potions didn't just rely on pure hard work to get ahead.

"Of course it's different." Snape said in a serious tone. "Potions are a delicate subject—"

"I know." Tahlia sighed. "But I don't think I can understand it either..."

Snape was speechless.

"I just hope that I can study the school-wide potions properly now." Sighed again. "But don't expect me to continue my studies..."

"Tahlia, what should I do if you even said that?" Lily on the side couldn't help but said. "Your potion score is higher than mine every time..."

"Only papers, Lily." Tahlia said seriously. "The potion that you and Severus made together is definitely the highest score."

"But the paper—"

"Papers don't help at all with implementing potions," Tahlia said.

Another sigh.

Lily laughed out loud. "Okay, Tahlia, don't keep sighing, you are so good in other subjects, you are not bad in this one."

Snape also nodded silently.

Tahlia is already great.

"By the way, why didn't you see those noisy people today?" Lily asked.

"James and Sirius went to participate in the selection of the Quidditch team, and others went to cheer for them. I heard that this time is a joint selection of Gryffindor and Slytherin. . . . " said Tahlia. "But I think there might be a fight soon."

I really don't know whose idea it was, but thought of putting together these two colleges that would always have friction when they meet, what should I say?Probably the selection of James and the others will not be too peaceful.

"It seemed too quiet without those few people around," Lily said.

"Don't tell me you like them ringing in your ears." Snape said somewhat angrily.

Lily laughed out loud. "Severus, you're still mad at them for calling you by your nickname..."

"Who wouldn't be angry?" said angrily.

"Hey, don't look like that." Lily smiled. "I would be angry if I was called like that, but they are just a little naive. Wouldn't it be naive if you vomited with them?"

Snape was at a loss for words.

"Well, Lily, if Severus is childish, you won't find someone mature." Tahlia smiled, winking at Snape, but Snape's expression stiffened instantly.

Lily thought for a while before speaking. "That's right." She patted Snape on the shoulder and watched him shrink away from her hand and smiled. Ever since she found that Snape would subconsciously avoid being touched by everyone, she often made gestures to touch him , and then watching him dodge stiffly, this is really something you can never get tired of playing.

The three continued to finish their homework, and Tahlia put down the quill in her hand.

"I want to go to dinner, are you going?" She asked, while packing up her things, she stood up.

"Let's go together..." Lily also quickly put away the things. "I didn't realize it was already this time."

"I'll go too." Snape also said in a low voice.

"Yeah." Tahlia responded. "Then let's go together, I'm almost starving."

Maybe Sirius and the others have already arrived in the lobby, and I don't know if their selection will go well, but seeing that James is really flying well, it should be very likely that he will be selected.

I hope Sirius can also be selected, so she has to cheer for whatever she says, right?After all, it's a game of her friends...

But when the three arrived in the lobby, they didn't see James and Sirius.

"Where are they?" Tahlia asked in astonishment, looking around for Sirius, but there was no one, but Remus and Peter were there.

"I'll ask Remus," Lily said, waving them to the Gryffindor table.

"Thank you," Tahlia thanked, tugging on Snape's sleeve and walking to their seats.

"Tahlia, I can't even find my own seat..." Snape didn't shake her off, but he wasn't used to it.

"If I don't pull you, who knows if you will run to the corner by yourself again." Tahlia said angrily.

One force pulled him to sit down. "Let's eat," she said. "You promised to teach me potions tonight."

Snape subconsciously wanted to refute, but then remembered that he had indeed promised Tahlia, shut his mouth obediently, and took the tableware that Tahlia handed to him.

Satisfied to see Snape obediently eating, Tahlia smiled slightly and took some food to eat as well.

It's rare that Sirius is not here today, so he won't always force himself to eat a lot of food...

After a while, Lily ran over, accompanied by many suspicious looks from Slytherins.

"Lily, what are you doing here?" Snape hissed.Didn't she know that it was very inappropriate for her to come here as a Gryffindor?

"Come on, Severus, I don't mind at all." Lily smiled, then turned serious, to Tahlia. "Tahlia, Remus said James and the others went into the hospital wing."

"Into the medical wing?"

"Haha, Sirius, you're so cool today!"

At this time, although James was lying on the bed in the medical wing, he was laughing.

"You too." Sirius's smile was also very bright, but if it was matched with the thick bandage wrapped around his left arm, it seemed very incongruous.

"To be honest, your timing of your swing is really perfect, that person is just a little bit close to bumping into me... that guy who only knows how to play tricks!" He cursed angrily.

"Of course!" Sirius said proudly. "I'm already an official Slytherin batsman."

"I'm also Gryffindor's official Seeker," James said cheerfully.

"So, two official players, can you explain to us why you are here?" Tahlia's voice suddenly came faintly.

Both James and Sirius froze, mechanically turning their heads in the direction of the sound.

"Hey Tahlia, are you full?"

"Hey Lily, why are you here?"

Tahlia and Lily were staring at them seriously, making both of them shrink back nervously.

Feeling that Tahlia's eyes fell on his bandages, Sirius immediately stuffed his whole hand into the quilt with guilt, but this action made Tahlia squint his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong," he said quickly.

"You're wrong?" Tahlia smiled. "I don't know where you are wrong, can you tell me?"

Crap.

Tahlia is absolutely pissed.

Very very angry.

"James...help me explain──" He looked at his good brother with a begging look.

damn it!

James has been completely immersed in the joy of Lily visiting him, completely unable to feel any stimulation from the outside world.

Really damn James Potter!

He smiled awkwardly at Tahlia. "Tahlia, this is definitely not what you think..."

"Who promised me this morning that the pure selection would not cause trouble?"

"……I."

"So what are you doing here now?" Tahlia said. "You also got...a roll of bandage?" You raised your eyebrows. "And it's still wrapped around your hand."

"Haha." Sirius laughed dryly twice. "Believe me, this is definitely an accident..."

Tahlia snorted.

"Really!" Sirius explained hastily. "There was a player in the selection who wanted to hit James maliciously. I hit a ball in real time, but I was hit by another ball that was also maliciously aimed at me..."

Tahlia froze for a moment. "No trouble?"

"Swear by Merlin." Sirius immediately raised a hand in a gesture of oath. "If you don't believe me, you can ask James, James... er, forget it... Anyway, what I said is true!"

Tahlia stared at Sirius carefully for a while before speaking again. "Okay, so why is James lying here?"

"I was going to ask that too," Lily ignored James who was smirking at her, and asked Sirius instead. "You said the reason for your injury, what about him?"

As he spoke, he pointed at James, who was still in a state of complete dementia, with some contempt.

"He saw me being shot, so he flew in to grab me," Sirius said. "As a result, his broom couldn't bear it, and we fell to the ground. Although the height was not high, he still hurt his foot."

"So, you were injured while saving each other?"

Sirius nodded quickly.

"Well, it's not your fault this time..." Tahlia said.I really don't understand why boys love such dangerous sports, ah no, there is an exception beside him, and that exception is still awkward because he will not make the reason to visit Sirius and the two even if he is killed. Stay outside the door and don't come in. "You guys should take good care of your injuries, but don't be able to play when the game comes..."

"Absolutely not!" Sirius said immediately. "Mrs. Pomfrey says we'll be fully recovered tomorrow."

Tahlia nodded and gestured to Lily.

"Well, then I'll come to see you tomorrow, and Lily and I will go back first." Then, he walked to the door with Lily. "Remember to rest well."

"Lily, are you leaving?" James reacted and shouted in a panic.

"Quiet! This is the ward!"

The shout immediately attracted Mrs. Pomfrey, who came angrily, drove Tahlia and both out of the hospital wing, gave James and Sirius a stare, and then left angrily.

Seeing the door being slammed shut and Lily and Tahlia no longer in the ward, James asked in a daze. "Brother, what's going on?"

He still has the nerve to ask what's going on?It's really hopeless... Sirius rolled his eyes angrily. "I'm going to sleep." Ignoring James, he pulled the covers over and lay down, being careful not to pull the bandage on his left hand. "Good night."

"Sirius──"

"To shut up!"

"Sorry, Severus, to keep you waiting."

Embarrassed to be thrown out, the door slamming shut behind him, Tahlia smiled awkwardly at Snape.

Snape shook his head. "Just seven minutes."

"You're still that clear?" Tahlia laughed. "Okay, let's go back, otherwise it will be too late to ask you about potions..."

"Actually, tomorrow is fine too—" Snape murmured softly.

"what?"

"No."

Tahlia didn't care either, and said to Lily. "Then Lily, let's go back to the cellar first." Bian waved to her. "See you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow." Lily smiled. "Don't discuss it too late..."

"Of course not," Tahlia replied.

Probably, no way...
