[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Dumbledore took the two of them to the Robe Shop, the Potions Shop, and the Gorgeous and Stained Bookstore. Tahlia seized the opportunity to ask Dumbledore if there were any extra-curricular books he recommended, and then excitedly picked out a lot of interesting ones. The fire in her eyes seemed to be As if he wanted to move the entire bookstore back, Josh took a lot of effort to drag Tahlia out of the bookstore.Then they bought the necessary balances and telescopes.

Out of the corner of Dumbledore's eye, he caught a glimpse of a black shadow rushing out of Knockturn Alley, looking furtive, and his eyes flashed a cold light for a moment.

"I think the rest of the time you two can go shopping on your own. To go back to London from this street, you only need to go back to the archway just now and tap with your wand." He said. "This is a ticket for the school bus departing from King's Cross Station in London on 9/1, please be sure to keep it." Dumbledore took out a ticket to Tahlia. "Cross between platforms 9 and 10 and you will arrive."

"Thank you." Tahlia took the ticket and thanked her.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Dumbledore nodded slightly to Josh, then turned to leave.

"Don't you think he's in a bit of a hurry to leave?" Josh looked at Dumbledore who was leaving quickly.

"Maybe the principal has something to do..." Tahlia was also puzzled, but anyway, he had already bought everything he needed, so he raised his head and asked. "Josh, is there anything else you want to visit?"

As soon as Tahlia asked, Josh immediately forgot what happened to Dumblrdore just now. "Yes, do you want a pet?" Josh asked excitedly. "I remember you said pets were allowed on your list? I remember passing a pet store just now!"

Tahlia thought about it. If the wizarding world used pets to deliver letters, then she must have one, otherwise she would not have contact with her brothers for the whole semester, and when she returned home, she would probably be soaked in sad eyes for the whole holiday. "Well, let's go and have a look."

The two returned to the pet shop they had just passed by. As soon as they entered the shop, they were dazzled by the various pets that filled the shop.Wait, what kind of creature is that... Tahlia stared blankly at the huddled black fur ball in the cage on the right shelf.

"Picking pets?" A clerk came to greet them.

"Yeah," Josh replied. "Do you have any recommendations?"

"Our owls have always been selling well!" The clerk waved his hand, pointing to a row full of owls on the left. "Or cats are not a good choice, they are very clever and will help you catch pests..." He pointed to some cages at the back of the store.

"Which one do you want, Tahlia?" Josh asked.

"The owl is ready," Tahlia replied. "Otherwise I don't know how to write to you."

Josh was instantly moved. What could be happier than being able to make their little sister think about it?

"Josh?"

"...I'm so touched...well, I mean, just buy an owl!" Josh said seriously.

Automatically skipping what Josh said in front of him, Tahlia walked in front of the owls. "Which one should I choose?" She murmured, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a brown owl, but there was a circle of black feathers growing around its neck, like a black necklace, and the owl just turned its head straight Looking at her anxiously, Tahlia approached unconsciously, reached out and stroked its wings.

"Be careful!" The clerk hurried over suddenly. "Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Josh heard the clerk's shout, and he also came over.

"This... This owl has already pecked many customers, I'm afraid Miss..." At this moment, the clerk seemed to have black lines on his face and looked at the owl that was said to have pecked many customers enjoying Tahlia's caress. "But it seems that I was worried for nothing..." The clerk also reached out to pet the owl. "Ouch!"

"..." Josh didn't know what to say, he looked at Tahlia who was having fun with the owl, and asked. "Do you want this one?"

"Yeah." Tahlia couldn't hide her excited tone, she stretched out her arm, and the owl obediently jumped onto her hand. "That's it."

"It's him." The clerk said quickly. "This is a male owl." He shook his still aching hand and asked Josh. "Are you sure you choose this one?"

"Yes."

"Then there are 4 Galleons and 7 Sickles in total." The clerk said. "Need a cage?"

Josh counted out enough coins to give to the clerk. "Well, it's troublesome."

The two walked out of the pet shop carrying a bird cage. Dumbledore cast a shrinking spell on the large and small things they had just bought, and promised that they would return to their original size the next morning. Tahlia was still teasing the owl in the cage. "We should give him a name!"

"How about Skylar? He seems smart, like you," Josh suggested.

"Scholar?" Tahlia smiled. "Sounds good... I'll call you Skylar, hello, Skylar."

Skylar in the cage answered her with a cry.

Tahlia had a good harvest today, and it was already evening when she returned home, and she was not surprised to see the other three brothers waiting for them with anticipation.

"How is it? Is it fun over there? Did you see anything nice? Can we go there later? You bought an owl too!" They heard a series of questions from Billy as soon as they entered the living room.

"Billy, you ask so many questions that we can only answer one at a time." Tahlia took out the shrunken item from her pocket and put it on the table with the birdcage.

"These are the things you bought today?" Tony looked confused. "It's too...pocket..."

"The principal said these things will be back to their normal size tomorrow," Josh said. "It's convenient for us to carry it home, who asked Tahlia to buy a lot of books..."

Everyone looked at Tahlia together, with an expression of no surprise at all, Tahlia also became embarrassed and coughed lightly. "Hey, the principal kindly recommended me some more books..."

No wonder... Everyone looked at the small books on the table, which were pocket-sized but piled up as high as a birdcage, complaining in their hearts, maybe it would not be a good choice for Josh, who also loves books, to accompany him today. In the eyes of the two of them, such a number of books probably only represented a small amount.

"So, was it fun today?" Hamish asked again, but not as much as Billy asked.

"Well, it's amazing over there!" Tahlia happily talked about what she saw and heard today, and took out her wand from her bosom to show to her brothers.

Tony took the wand, watched carefully, and poked Hamish, who was standing nearby. "No response..."

"Hmph, that's because you don't have this talent." Josh said proudly. "You didn't see Tahlia make it snow in the wand shop as soon as she got this wand."

"What are you proud of!" Tony changed his target to poke Josh. "It's not you who made it snow in the store!"

"Okay." Hamish snatched the wand out of Tony's hand and returned it to Tahlia. "How old are you and still so childish..."

Tahlia was able to take a closer look at her wand. It was inconvenient to take it out when she first bought it on the street. She discovered that her wand was carved with thin patterns, and thin light colors could be seen against the dark brown body. texture...

"Try a spell and see, Tahlia," Billy urged.

"Yes, yes, try it!" Tony echoed.

Looking at the expectant faces of the crowd, Tahlia couldn't help it. It happened that she also wanted to try using magic for real.She took out a book from her bag that was based on wanting to start reading immediately without asking Dumbledore to cast a small spell together. According to the headmaster, this standard spell book was the designated book for spelling, and opened it to find interesting spells.

Levitation spell. Tahlia decided to try this spell. After all, failure does not seem to have any serious consequences. The shadow of blown glass in the wand shop is still there, but Mr. Ollivander said that it was caused by using an unsuitable wand. Everyone That's what happens when a wizard picks a wand, but Tahlia was horrified by the destructive power of that single wave.

She took a cup, cleared her throat, pointed her wand at the cup and said, "Wingardium Leviosa."

Amid the exclamation of everyone, the cup slowly and steadily floated up. Tahlia nervously directed the cup to fly around. Gradually, after she discovered the trick of controlling it, she became playful and made the cup circle around the heads of her brothers. It was not until this moment that Tahlia truly believed that she could Those who use magic, if they were in a semi-skeptical state before, then they are undoubtedly sure now, and their mood is also happy.

After letting the cup float back on the table, she flipped through the book again, and this time she found the spell to be eliminated. She pointed at the pocket objects on the table and said the spell: "Finite Incantatem."

Books, balances, medicine boxes, etc. instantly returned to their original sizes, causing the table to shake slightly, and Skylar was also frightened, flapping his wings and jumping up and down in the birdcage.

All four men were taken aback by Tahlia, and they stared blankly at Tahlia.

Sensing the eyes of the four, Tahlia asked suspiciously. "What's wrong?"

"No," Tony said. "It seems to be very simple for you to do it."

"So it's all about getting the spell right?" Billy asked. "It feels quite simple, Tahlia, you are so good, stay at home and learn by yourself, don't go to school, if you leave home for so long, we will miss you." After talking, Billy's eyes were still a little pale red.

Tahlia looked at her brother with a slight frown. "I don't know if it's just a matter of reciting the spell correctly. Although I don't want to be away for so long, the principal said that for everyone's safety, it is best to receive a formal education." She hugged Billy's arm . "Well, Billy... I will definitely write to you every day. And I will miss you every day."

Josh looked at Tahlia who was comforting Billy, and suddenly felt that she had grown up. Although Tahlia was very well-behaved and sensible, now she seemed to be more mature than their older brothers.

"And I'm still at home all summer!" Tahlia smiled. "It's still so long..."

Billy said right away. "Then you can't keep reading for the rest of the time."

Tahlia's smile froze.

"Look, you really love books and don't love your brother anymore," Billy forcefully squeezed out a tear from his newly flushed eyes. "Woooo...I'm so sad." As he spoke, he wanted to wipe his tears with Tony's clothes beside him.

"Go away, it's disgusting!" Tony pulled back his clothes, picked up the book on the table and hit Billy hard on the head.

"Tony!" Tahlia yelled unconsciously as she watched her beloved book being used as a weapon.

"…" Tony immediately joined Billy in crying.
