[HP] Can you be gentle with me
Chapter 56 56. Outsmarting
After getting into the car, Sirius realized that he didn't have any Muggle change on him, only a large denomination banknote. He handed out a pound in embarrassment, and asked in a low voice in embarrassment. "Uh... can I get some change?"
Seeing that the driver looked like he didn't want to pay attention to him, he touched his nose and reluctantly threw the banknote directly into the change box. "Sorry, to Dover."
The driver didn't say a word, and printed a small piece of paper for him without saying a word, urging him to hurry up and sit in the back.
Poor service... Sirius thought.He obviously felt the strange eyes from everyone, and looked down at himself. It turned out that he didn't expect that he would go to the Muggle world today. No wonder the people around him felt strange with his wizard robes...
Forget it, he picked an empty seat and sat down.Just pretend he's done with the masquerade...
During the journey, Sirius' mood also fluctuated with the ups and downs of the bus.He hasn't figured out what to say after meeting Tahlia. If she really doesn't plan to return to the magic world, how can he convince her?Merlin...
Finally, when they arrived in Dover, Sirius smelled the familiar smell of the ocean as soon as he got out of the car, and he felt a little relaxed. He didn't notice that there were also a few young people who followed him out of the car sneakily and maliciously.
Sirius walked in the direction of Tahlia's house based on his impression. After a while, his more sensitive senses, which were trained at home since he was a child, discovered a group of people following him...
Why was it being followed?
He remained calm, but racked his brains thinking about what attracted these little bastards to him...
In fact, what he didn't know was that in the Muggle world, a little boy with a wad of pounds on his body represented a fat sheep in the eyes of the punks.
Gradually moving away from the crowded place, the punks were still admiring their good luck, the kid in front of him automatically went to the place where there were few people, thinking about it, he quickly approached him without hesitation.
"Hey, hand over your money."
One of them, presumably in the lead, put a hand directly on Sirius' shoulder.
"Why?" Sirius glanced at them and asked, tilting his head.
This answer stunned the punks, this is clearly a robbery, right?Don't ordinary people turn pale with fright, shout to let him go and hand over the money obediently?What's the matter with this kid?Is it really like his clothes, which came out of the Middle Ages?
In the end, it was the elder brother who took the lead to react first. "Why do you ask so many questions? Just hand over the money!"
Sirius sneered in his heart, but still tilted his head with an ignorant expression. "But this is my money, why should I give it to you?"
Didn't these little bastards first observe the surrounding situation when they robbed people of money?Even though the crowd here has started to decrease, he glanced at the building not far away with a prominent sign saying POLICE, and he remembered that the term was similar to their Auror. Are these people really stupid or fake...
"Stop talking! Just give it to us!" A man was obviously impatient, and immediately reached out to grab the money in Sirius' arms.
"Ah - someone robbed me!" Sirius immediately shouted loudly.
The little bastards were taken aback when he yelled like that, why is this little boy yelling like an ordinary person again now.
However, he continued to do what he was doing.
"What are you doing!" A voice suddenly came.
Several punks froze, Sirius took the opportunity to run in the direction of the sound, showing a triumphant smile.
"Dare to rob in front of the police station... You guys are quite courageous..." The voice continued calmly.
police station?
The punks turned around stiffly, did they pass the police station just now?Damn, so focused on this kid that they didn't even notice they were right next to the police station.
The elder brother who took the lead said with a flattering smile. "Mr. Police, look, we didn't take anything..." As he spoke, he pushed a few younger brothers and ran away.
But it was just that they were immediately surrounded by a group of policemen, and soon they were sent to the police station one by one.
"Little brother, what are you doing here alone?" One of the policemen with light blond hair asked while stroking Sirius' head.
Sirius lowered his head and whispered. "I'm here to find friends to play..." He paused for a while, forcing tears to fill his eyes. "But I'm lost..."
The policeman became nervous instantly, a crying child was definitely the most troublesome existence!Quickly comfort. "Okay, don't cry, can you tell me your friend's name? We'll take you there..."
"Really?" Sirius blinked, tears streaming down obediently.
Looking at the little boy with good features in front of him, and the light gray eyes seemed to be shining with tears, the blond policeman burst out with a sense of justice in an instant, and patted his chest to assure him. "Of course, as long as you tell me their names."
"Watson." Sirius said immediately, smiling, and now he didn't even have the strength to walk...
Castle Hill Road is quiet most of the time, with only occasional frolic sounds, but not to the point that it will affect other residents. Laughter, and sometimes roars, but most of the roars were shouting the same name──Billy.
"Billy──!"
look!appeared again.
"Billy! Where the hell are you hiding my notes?"
Although Tahlia's hair was tied up at this time, it was a bit messy because she had just rummaged through the box, and she continued to search.
Billy stood aside innocently, smiling awkwardly. He obviously just took a tattered notebook and threw it under the sofa. This was his habitual behavior of teasing Tahlia. The notebook just disappeared, could it be more weird?Could it be that the notebook ran away by itself?
"I put it under the sofa..." Billy murmured, lying down on the ground to check again, but there was no trace of the notebook.
Tahlia is pissed.
"Billy, I told you a few times not to touch my book! Someone lent me that notebook, and now you lost it, how am I going to return it!"
Billy grimaced. "I'm sorry, I won't dare to mess around with the notebook that someone borrowed you next time." He looked at Tahlia with a pitiful expression.
"I won't forgive you! You haven't even thought about it..." Tahlia said angrily. "If you don't take the notebook that others lent me, it means you will still take my other books!" As he said, he angrily put down the box that he had just opened and found that it was also empty. "Don't think I didn't realize what you meant!"
Several other people also sat helplessly on the sofa, and now only Billy is not tired of stealing Tahlia's book, now you know it!I even lost my stuff...
Ding-dong-
Everyone immediately looked at the door.
"Who will come to us?" Tony asked with some doubts.
Tahlia yanked back Billy's grip and stood up. "I'll go and open the door." He turned around and said again. "Billy, find my notebook immediately!"
Sirius stood in front of the blond policeman, pressed the bell, waited, felt his heart beating fast, finally, the door opened, and the first thing he saw was the only black eye in the family.
"Hey, Tahlia," he said, grinning. "I—"
boom!
The door closed in front of him in an instant, and Sirius' smile froze on his face.
"She...is your friend?" The blond policeman behind asked uncertainly.
Sirius nodded. "We...uh, had a fight..."
"No wonder..." The blond policeman showed an 'I understand' expression, patted Sirius on the head reassuringly, reached out and pressed the bell again.
"Tahlia, who is it?" Hamish asked as he saw Tahlia pass by the living room.
"No one, salesman," Tahlia said quickly. "I'll go upstairs to find my notebook." As he said that, he immediately rushed upstairs.
"...It seems that the notebook is very important to him?" Hamish and the brothers looked at each other, when the doorbell rang again.
"..." Could it be a promotion again?
Josh stood up. "I'll go." After finishing speaking, he went to open the door.
The door opened again in front of Sirius.
"Sorry, Mr. Watson, this kid said he came here to find friends, do you know him?" It seemed that the previous experience was too embarrassing, this time the blond policeman took the initiative to ask with a smile after seeing the person who opened the door.
Josh looked down and found that it was Sirius.
"Sirius? How did you come here?"
Sirius touched his head in embarrassment. "I'm here to play with Tahlia, uh...did she say that?"
"No." Josh frowned. "I think she probably forgot..." As he spoke, he opened the door a little more, and stepped back slightly to make way for a passage. "Come in," he said.
Sirius turned and bowed slightly to the blond policeman. "Mr. Police, thank you."
"No." The blond policeman quickly waved his hands, and then said to Josh. "Then Mr. Watson, the child is in your hands."
"Okay." Josh nodded. "Thanks a lot."
"No, no." The blond policeman said, turned and left.
Sirius walked into the house.
"Thank you, Josh."
"Where." Josh smiled. "Tahlia's friends are our friends," he said. "Would you like something to drink? Have you eaten yet?" He paused and patted himself on the forehead. "Ah, you're here to find Tahlia, wait a minute, I'll call her down."
As he spoke, he really called her name towards the stairs.
"What's the matter?" Tahlia's voice came from the stairs.
"Sirius is here, you seem to have forgotten to tell us he's coming today..." Josh yelled upwards.
A moment of silence.
After waiting for Tahlia's response for a long time, Josh called out again. "Tahlia?"
"Sorry... I forgot to say that," said the voice. "Let him come up..."
"Sirius, you go up first..." Josh said gently. "Stay for dinner?"
"Uh...don't bother..."
Josh smiled and slightly pushed Sirius upstairs. "It's not troublesome at all. Do you know which room her room is?"
Sirius nodded without further refusing, and slowly walked up the stairs.
The door of the room was open, and the afternoon sun shone in through the windows in the room, and even illuminated the corridor through the crack of the open door.
Sirius approached and tapped the door panel with his knuckles. "Tahlia."
"Ah."
Tahlia sat on a small comfortable single sofa in the center of the room, watching him quietly, he looked around the whole room unconsciously, he hadn’t seen it the last time he came here, although this room It's not big, but it also has an independent bathroom. There is a simple single bed on the left, which surprised him a bit. He always thought that everyone's house had a double bed like the one in his room.
Next to the bed is the desk, and there is a small bookcase full of it. There are also several books piled up in a mess on the desk.
On the right side of the door is a larger bookcase, and then there is the door leading to the bathroom. There is also a small wardrobe next to the door. There is no special decoration. If you don't say it, you can't tell the gender of the owner of the room.
"I think your room should be much more luxurious." Tahlia's voice came faintly.
Sirius quickly regained his senses, shook his head, then thought he was wrong, and nodded again, but it was unclear to show off his room...Damn it, should he shake his head or nod...
Seeing Sirius shaking his head and nodding for a while, he wanted to laugh, but luckily he held back, and when she spoke, his voice was still flat.
"What did you come to see me for?"
Seeing that the driver looked like he didn't want to pay attention to him, he touched his nose and reluctantly threw the banknote directly into the change box. "Sorry, to Dover."
The driver didn't say a word, and printed a small piece of paper for him without saying a word, urging him to hurry up and sit in the back.
