[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Remus and James sat on the chairs with serious faces, staring straight at the door—that is, themselves, and there was a chair opposite them, obviously for him to sit on.

"May I ask what you are trying to do with the appearance of interrogating me?" Sirius asked hesitantly before going up to sit down.

"Sirius, sit down." Remus said very gently, gestured to the empty chair with his hands, but the gentle tone clearly conveyed a message, Sirius swallowed, it is best to be obedient at this time It is better to be obedient.

Thinking, sit down carefully.

"Uh—" he began.

But it was interrupted immediately. "Sirius, brother," James said, glanced aside at Remus, and continued after getting his nod. "I think we need to have a good discussion."

"Discuss what?" Sirius was full of doubts, and then asked after looking around. "And why didn't you see Peter?"

"He's in detention—for being late with homework," Remus replied flatly. "But don't change the subject. This matter is very important. It should be said—very important to you."

"What?" Sirius was at a loss. "is important to me?"

James nods. "Yes, about Tahlia—"

Sirius leaned over immediately, his expression much more serious. "What happened to Tahlia?"

"It's not her, Sirius," Remus said with a headache. "The question is what's wrong with you..."

"What else can I do?" Sirius asked blankly. "I haven't upset Tahlia lately—"

What he said is true, he's been very quiet lately, he's done his homework well and hasn't borrowed paper references from Tahlia all the time, and he hasn't bothered Snape casually—well, at least he hasn't troubled him in front of Tahlia, has he? Did he still unconsciously do something to make Tahlia angry?

Although Tahlia would get angry, she rarely lost her temper with them, and it was often when he finally realized that Tahlia was angry that she was not angry at all.

"Of course she's not upset." James rolled his eyes. "But if you're so stupid, we'll all be mad—"

Sirius' face turned half black in an instant. "Where the hell am I stupid?"

"You like Tahlia."

Remus pointed it out abruptly, with a very firm tone, which made Sirius freeze in place, his mouth opened wide, as if he hadn't expected to hear this sentence at all.

"W-Why did you say that suddenly──" After a while, Sirius spoke, but it was very much like Peter's usual stuttering appearance.

"We thought you'd figure it out for yourself someday, but look at—" James said. "If we don't talk, you'll probably never act—"

"Action...Action what?"

"Catch Tahlia of course! Brother!" James stood up and patted Sirius on the shoulder vigorously.

Sirius remained stunned. "I...I never thought of chasing—"

"So you're really dull, Sirius," Remus said sternly. "Anyone with eyes can see it, but you two don't."

"But—but I didn't—I, I always thought of Tahlia as a normal friend—"

Remus sighed.

The person in front of him doesn't seem to be Sirius at all, I've never seen him respond so slowly, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that after Tahlia is involved, Sirius has never been like Sirius at all──

"Let me ask you, do you think James likes Lily?" he asked.

"Of course I do!" Sirius replied quickly.

The whole school knew that James had been trying to pursue Lily, not to mention no one knew better than him. After all, James had clearly expressed his affection for Lily when they were still on the train in the first grade.

"Why?" Remus asked.

"Is that even a question?" Sirius said. "Everyone knows!"

"I'm not asking them, I'm asking you—" Remus said. "How do you know James likes Lily—besides all the lily things he yells about all day long," paused. "What did he do to make you feel that he liked Lily?"

silence.

James stood aside in embarrassment, although he did like Lily, but he was embarrassed by Remus saying it so seriously──

He knew what Remus meant, because Sirius had done for Tahlia everything he had done for Lily, and Remus was trying to get Sirius to figure it out by guiding him, which was much more effective than if they had just forced him to believe he was coming.

James has always been an undisguised person, all emotions are written directly on his face, if he says he likes it, then he likes it, and his every move is also confirming his words.

He'll wait for hours just for Lily's side, he'll be happy because Lily is happy, he'll be sad because Lily is sad, he'll do anything for Lily, he won't let Lily get hurt, he'll want to give To protect Lily at any cost, he has always only had Lily in his eyes...

"Too much," Sirius finally said, looking up at Remus. "Lily is everything to James."

"how about you?"

"I?"

He told Tahlia—

Sirius' eyes widened, and he seemed to be at a loss for an instant, and his eyes began to drift and dodge, but he didn't dare to look at the two friends in front of him.

This means that he is to Tahlia--

He opened and closed his mouth a few times, but he couldn't say anything.

"You are to Tahlia what James is to Lily, Sirius," Remus said softly. "What do you think that means? Huh?"

Sirius didn't speak.

Because he himself was confused.

"Wa...Watson."

In the corridor, Tahlia was stopped by a voice—an unfamiliar voice.

It is estimated that they are looking for trouble again. Although there are almost no such people in this year, it is impossible to guarantee that they will not appear again. Impatiently, he turned his head and stared at the person who called him, holding a magic wand in his cuff, ready to attack at any time. can be drawn out.

"I, I didn't mean to embarrass you──" The man seemed frightened by being stared at, and said quickly.

"So what are you going to do?" Tahlia frowned. "I don't think I know you──" Although the school robe is a student of Slytherin, she never remembers what they look like, and can only roughly judge from the height of this person that it should be a senior student.

"Rosier," the man said. "I'm Rosier, a seventh grader."

"Actually, I'm not interested in knowing at all──Rosier." Tahlia said coldly.

She was already confident that no student in the school could beat her—at least in the academy, she was sure.Other colleges - anyway, they won't make things difficult for her, and she doesn't care.

Rosier swallowed, automatically ignoring Tahlia's words. "Well, I... my father wrote a letter asking me to—" He hesitated for a while before saying again. "──ask me to help you."

"Help me what?"

"He didn't say it, he just said that I have to help you—" Rosier seemed afraid to disobey his father's order, and said hurriedly, if Tahlia refused, it would be very troublesome.

But Tahlia knows the reason.

The man was really quick, and he already sent a helper to her—although most of them were surveillance, he probably wanted to make sure she would carry out those orders properly, right?

"I see, then you come with me now──" she said lightly.

After hearing Tahlia's words, Rosier heaved a sigh of relief, he would not disappoint his father's expectations, but then he spoke in astonishment. "W-what? Now?" He didn't expect to have to provide assistance so soon, and he obviously didn't react at all.

"It's okay if you don't want to help me now," Tahlia said. "But if anyone gets angry and implicates your father, that's not my problem."

"You...you mean?" Rosier's eyes widened.

Tahlia frowned. "I didn't say anything." He said impatiently. "Are you coming or not?"

"Of course!" Rosier nodded quickly, not daring to delay to follow Tahlia.

It was an illusion, Watson said absolutely nothing - he told himself.

Tahlia quickly found her purpose.

Barty Crouch… Jr.

She had heard that since young Barty was sorted into Slytherin, his relationship with his father was not very good, but she had to try, maybe old Barty cared a little bit about his son──

About that report.

Old Barty Crouch insisted on getting a bill passed, obviously that was holding up the man, and Tahlia actually didn't know how a student of hers staying at school could affect this, but obviously starting with old Crouch's son was definitely the first step.

"Hey," Tahlia called out to little BartyCrouch, who was coming out of the classroom, and he seemed to be quite shocked by it. She wasn't sure if it was because of the intimidating seventh grade standing behind her. The reason for giving birth to Rosier was because he never thought that a person he didn't interact with would suddenly stop him.

The answer is both.

Barty Crouch naturally knew about this senior. Since he entered school, he has been hearing about her from his classmates. Most of them are saying that she must not be underestimated because of her Muggle background. I thought it was just talking among classmates. But when he overheard some of the older students talking about it too, he turned to awe.

He has never been very popular with his father, and he also understands that being in Slytherin will definitely add fuel to the fire, but what he has always longed for is Slytherin's pursuit of power, and this senior sister is obviously very suitable, in this academy where power is everything , She must be very powerful to make so many people dare not mess with her.

Now she actually stopped him, and the senior senior followed behind him, like a guard, which was really unexpected to him.

Obediently stopped. "What's the matter?" He asked as calmly as possible.

Tahlia smiles. "Don't be so nervous, Crouch, it's actually—" She glanced at Rosier behind her. "This is Rosier. He wants to talk to you. Are you free?"

"Yes, yes..." Little Crouch agreed.

It turned out that it was Rosier who wanted to find me... Rosier who was rumored to inherit his father's business soon──wait a minute, so why did he call this senior?

"Come with us for a while, okay?" Tahlia asked again.

Little Crouch nodded, and followed the two into the empty classroom.

Tahlia directly pulled out her wand and cast a series of spells. The two people on the side were stunned. Rosier felt his throat dry and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

Some of these spells he has never seen before, and this girl—she is only in the fourth grade!

No wonder his father would give him such instructions—no, it should be said, no wonder the man asked his father to give him such instructions.

He figured it out, so the rumor wasn't wrong, Watson had really—

"Rosier."

An impatient tone reached his ears. Rosier didn't think about it anymore, and quickly responded.

"What exactly are you looking for with Crouch?" Tahlia asked.

Rosier's mind was blank, Tahlia was looking for him, how could he know what she wanted to do with Barty?

Tahlia shook her head.

You don't need to count on this seventh-grade senior—she thought her intentions were obvious. Although the report was not in a very prominent position, anyone who has the habit of reading newspapers should know it, and now she has found a small Barty Crouch──

Rosier should know what his purpose is—fortunately, he was appointed by that person to monitor him.

Instead, he spoke to little Crouch.

"Looks like Rosier's thinking," she smiled. "Don't worry about him, anyway, I know what he wants you to do, let me tell him—"

Little Crouch nodded blankly.

Tahlia organized the conversation for a while before asking first. "Crouch, are you aware of the bill your father pushed recently?"

"Wand Registration Act?"

"Yes." Tahlia nodded. "What do you think of that bill?"

Little Crouch frowned.
