[HP] Can you be gentle with me

"No!" Tahlia sat up abruptly, gasping for breath, she quickly looked at her hands carefully, there were no bloodstains... So, is it a dream?But the dream felt so real... She could even feel the slight burning sensation of the magic spell shot from the wand, she was sweating, and the pajamas were sticky to her back, Taking a few deep breaths, she changed her pajamas and walked into the bathroom.

After a while, after Tahlia walked out of the bathroom, she had calmed down. At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and she decided to write a letter to her brothers, and also explained the time when she arrived at the station platform after the holiday the day after tomorrow. She put down the quill and walked out of the room. Noticing that her hands were still trembling, she clenched her fists slightly and retracted them a few times, but she still couldn't stop the trembling of her hands. After sending the letter, she went to the medical wing, took a deep breath, smiled, and pushed away the medical staff. wing door.

"Miss Watson, what are you doing here?" Pomfrey, who had been fiddling with bottles and cans of potions all morning, asked immediately when he saw Tahlia walk in.

"I've come to see Sirius, ma'am," Tahlia replied.

"Ah, so... But he hasn't woken up yet, he had a little fever last night, and the fever just went away this morning," Pomfrey said. "I think he'll have to rest here for a while today..."

"Fever?" Tahlia was puzzled. Didn't Sirius already drink the potion when she left yesterday, and he was already more than half healed?

Speaking of which, Pomfrey said angrily. "This kid knew that the temperature was very low in the middle of the night, and he kicked the quilt out of bed in the middle of his sleep. Fortunately, I have the habit of patrolling the room in the middle of the night, and I found that he had a severe fever..." she said. "However, there are too many people who have caught a cold these days, and the fever-reducing medicine has just been used up. There is no other way, I can only use the traditional method to let him reduce his fever naturally. I boiled the medicine for him all night, and only fed it to him in the morning..."

Tahlia was speechless.It turned out that Sirius slept so poorly that he kicked off the quilt and got a worse cold as a result, what else could she say?I don't know where to start complaining...

"Tahlia?" came a weak voice.

"Awake?" Pomfrey hurried forward. "Mr. Black, you still have to stay here and rest today."

"Why?" Sirius stared.

"It's not like someone kicked the quilt yesterday and got a fever." Tahlia said on the side, and added a sentence. "And made Madam Pomfrey stay up all night to help you boil your medicine..."

Sirius looked at Pomfrey in embarrassment, and he was relieved when he found that she didn't seem to be angry. No wonder he felt that he felt unusually cold after arriving last night. It turned out that he had a fever...

"You just stay here and rest today," Tahlia said. "I'll copy the notes for you, ah, by the way, the day after tomorrow is going to be a holiday, will you go back?"

Sirius muttered something under his breath, which Tahlia couldn't catch, but then he spoke in a normal voice again. "Well, I guess I'll have to go home..."

"Would you like to come to my house to play?" Tahlia asked.

"Really?" Sirius almost jumped up, but was held down by Pomfrey, she gave Sirius a warning look, and he quickly lay down obediently. "Can I go to your house to play?"

Tahlia laughed. "Didn't I always ask you out?" she said. "I'm planning to call James and the others... But I don't know if they will be willing to go to the Muggle world..."

"Of course they would!" Sirius said. "We haven't been there yet... you can come to my house later... er no, we can also go to James' place for a few days, what do you think?"

"Well, I think it's ok, I'll tell my brothers again..." Thinking of her brother, Tahlia's heart trembled, and the image of Hamish covered in blood appeared in her mind again, and she shook her head to shake the picture out.

"Great," Sirius said happily, and was about to say something more when Pomfrey cut him off.

"Okay, you need to rest!" Pomfrey said, laying him down on the pillows, turning to Tahlia. "Miss Watson, hurry up and go to class, don't disturb the patient's rest..."

Tahlia nodded and waved to Sirius before turning and leaving the ward.

All day long, Tahlia has been a little absent-minded, and her thoughts have always drifted home involuntarily. She is afraid that what if she doesn't receive a letter from her brothers tomorrow morning?Or, what if the news is bad?The dream last night was so real that she was deeply afraid of becoming what she was like last night. She must not let that happen again, otherwise she might hurt the person she cares about one day.

Sirius finally returned to the living room in the evening, he seemed to have completely recovered from his cold, and seemed to be in good spirits. "Tahlia," he shouted, and sat down in the empty armchair opposite Tahlia, in fact, not only across from her, but around her were all empty armchairs, but Sirius didn't notice much.

Tahlia hummed to show that she heard, and concentrated on writing the thesis, but pushed a stack of notes directly in front of Sirius with her left hand.

Sirius looked helplessly at the stack of notes in front of him, didn't he just miss class for a day?How do you accumulate so much...

Glancing at the helpless Sirius, Tahlia spoke. "There are a lot of lessons today, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

"But, it's almost a holiday..." Sirius protested softly.

"Well, it's time for vacation." Tahlia nodded. "So you know all the professors have done a lot of homework..." She thought for a moment, then added. "Let's say it first, you are not allowed to come to my house until you finish your holiday homework..."

"Tahliaaaa..." Sirius had a sad face, remembering that the day before yesterday, his dean gave them a very long dissertation that was not kind at all, and he had a headache. Other subjects don't have to worry so much, but it was a potion... ..He and Peter wouldn't be able to make the finished product so smoothly every time if it wasn't for Tahlia watching from the sidelines.

"If you're complaining about the Potions treatise, I can help you," Tahlia said.

"Really?" Sirius' eyes lit up.

"Of course." Tahlia said seriously. "I'll lend you these." He said, pushing another stack of potions books to Sirius.

"........."

Is it too late for him to refuse now?

In the lobby the next day, Tahlia breathed a sigh of relief after receiving a letter from her family. The big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. The letter stated that the four of them would pick her up at the station together and take her to have a delicious meal. Tahlia smiled, luckily that dream wasn't real, she would never do something like that, right?The way Tahlia was in a good mood was to happily push a lot of book notes to Sirius, expressing that she wanted to share the joy of reading with him, which made Sirius feel bitter.

When it was finally the day of the holiday, Sirius finally didn't have to deal with Tahlia's stack of books as if he had been pardoned.

As a companion, but when he thought about going back to that cold home, his face sank again... Fortunately, he was able to visit Tahlia this holiday, and he must tell his brother about her!I believe Regulus will also like Tahlia.

Their compartment was very lively, besides the four of James, there was also Tahlia, and Lily, who was invited by James, of course also dragged Snape along, the seven of them almost filled the compartment, and Sirius had already mentioned it to James. Going to Tahlia's house to play, and now several people are discussing the itinerary excitedly.

"Tahlia, do you want to come to our house too?" Lily asked suddenly. "You haven't been back to Cokeworth for a long time, have you?"

Tahlia was taken aback. She never thought about going back to Cokeworth. Although she even lived there for a long time, she was not so happy in the life there at the beginning. If there is any change in life If so... She looked at Snape, since she met Snape, many things happened, and most of them were good, maybe if she decided to go back to Cokeworth, she could also visit Snape?

Thinking of this, Tahlia smiled. "Well, I told my brothers, I think they would like to go back there too..."

"Great!" Lily happily took Tahlia's hand. "I can take you to the newly opened department store in the past few years, and there is a small Ferris wheel! Right? Severus... you will come too?"

Snape's face stiffened, but he nodded anyway.

"That's it!" Lily said and pulled Snape's hand, but Snape was stunned for a moment, and then quickly withdrew it as if he had been burned, and Lily didn't care.

"Lily, what about us?" James asked immediately.

Lily looked at him disdainfully. "Have you asked someone to invite you like this?" she said. "Besides, you won't go to our place..."

James seemed to lose his vitality for a moment, shrinking into a corner and lost.

Tahlia chuckled.However, at this moment, Snape took the initiative to speak to her on a rare occasion. "Watson... can you... come out for a while?"

"What?" Tahlia asked suspiciously.

Snape's eyes wandered, hesitating a bit. "Just come?"

"...Okay," Tahlia said, following Snape out of the box.

"What happened?" Tahlia asked once in the empty hallway.

"You...you know Mr. Malfoy very well," he said.

"Why do you ask that?" Tahlia was a little disappointed, but he called her specifically to ask about Lucius. "Did he...see you?" She remembered Lucius had asked her about Snape earlier.

Snape nodded. "Well, he said he was very interested in my potion abilities..."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Tahlia said. "Doesn't this mean that he affirms your ability..."

"That's not what I meant..." Snape said anxiously. "I didn't expect him to talk to me, but I feel like I've said the wrong thing..."

Tahlia was speechless, Snape probably meant that he accidentally said something that shouldn't have been said, and he wasn't sure if that offended Lucius, she sighed. "I'll ask you about it," she said. "But is this way of speaking natural to you?"

"........."

Tahlia waved her hand quickly. "Okay, okay, I'm just kidding..." she said. "But I think Lucius should value you... He also asked me about you, so it seems that the two of you did the same thing..." He said with a smile.

"...Really?" Snape said so, but with a slightly excited look on his face.

Tahlia stared blankly at Snape, this was the first time she saw Snape smile, but it wasn't for her, maybe Snape was happy for other things, but never because of her, presumably Lily saw It's always been Snape who would smile at her like this. Thinking of this, she couldn't help being jealous of Lily again, but as long as she recalled Lily's kind smile towards her, she would feel very guilty. She wasn't like Lily who could On the contrary, she can even scare people... The events of the past few days came to mind again, and the scared expression on Snape's face at that time... His face couldn't help but darken.

The two returned to the box, but in very different moods, as if Snape hadn't noticed Tahlia's depression.
