[HP] Can you be gentle with me

Chapter 151 Part 5

The Watsons' home has always been rarely visited.

It's not that they are difficult to get along with, in fact, the four men of the Watson family have been getting along very well with the rest of the family since they moved to Dover.

However, even though many girls expressed a clear affection for them, I have never seen any of them invite those girls into their home, it should be said that they have never even had a meal with them.

Everyone knows that there is a girl in the Watson family, who is many years apart from her four older brothers. They almost thought that she would go to the most prestigious school in the area, but it turned out not to be. The girl—I remember it was called Tahlia ──but went to a far away place to study, and the time in Dover was getting shorter and shorter.

When they realized it, they realized that they hadn't seen the girl in and out of Watson's house for a long time.

Everyone gradually forgot—forgot that there was a girl living in the Watson house.

A girl named Tahlia Watson.

On this day, a stranger came to Dover.

In the UK, people with black hair and dark eyes are not common, but the woman walking on the street now has this feature, which has attracted the attention of many people.

Several residents gave her a friendly nod and smile when she passed by. They never exclude outsiders, and they hope that anyone who comes to this seaside town can feel warm.

But the woman made them flinch -- after several of them turned their heads in embarrassment at the woman's dismissive attitude.

She just walked slowly, very slowly, but she was not observing the surrounding environment, because her eyes were always looking straight ahead, and nothing or anyone around her could arouse her interest.

It wasn't until a boy behind her suddenly pulled her to make her turn her head, and instead of getting angry because she was pulled for no reason, but nodded to him, people didn't notice the boy's existence.

She barely had any interaction with the boy before, and the little boy just followed quietly. It took a while for everyone to realize that the boy was acting with the woman. After all, if the little boy didn't know her, He wouldn't drag her into the nearest famous restaurant in their town and sit down in front of her, and if she didn't know the boy, it would be impossible for a strange child to pull him and sit directly opposite her without manners. .

The waiters in that restaurant were gathering together at the moment, huddled behind the counter, whispering to each other, with hesitant looks on their faces.

"You go—" One of the young waiters with flaxen hair pushed the people aside. "I really dare not go there..."

"What are you so afraid to go over?" The person who was nudged asked, but his tone was not so sure. "Isn't it just an ordinary guest──"

"Then you go!"

"Forget it, look, I have to deliver this drink to the guests at that table──"

Apparently, the woman's expression looked too cold. Even if she didn't look fierce, several waiters still pushed and dragged each other, and no one wanted to serve that cold-faced female guest.

"What are you all doing here?" A male voice suddenly sounded from behind them, and they froze for a moment, then turned around and shouted flatteringly at the man in front of them.

"The store manager──"

"Don't call me that kind of voice." The man smiled, holding a glass of water in his hand, even if it was just a very ordinary gesture, it was very attractive for a man to do.It also made the waiters scream in their hearts.

With such a handsome and temperamental store manager, they are definitely the luckiest employees in Dover

"Tell me, what happened?" He took a sip of water and asked casually.

The waiters didn't seem to be afraid of this gentle store manager at ordinary times, and now they directly expressed their inner thoughts, pointing to the woman sitting quietly in the corner. "We don't dare to talk to her..."

The man looked along, and then──

Kuang Dang!

The water glass in his hand fell to the ground, and the debris was mixed with water and sprinkled all over the ground.

But the man didn't intend to clean up at all, he just stared blankly at the place where the woman was sitting in front of him, and then, under the unbelievable gazes of the rest of the people, he walked over there slowly, almost cautiously. next to the woman.

"I'm still wondering when you will find me in your store." The woman didn't look up, but continued to study the menu. After a while, she didn't hear the man's reply, then she raised her head and looked at the man. She didn't know why, The way the woman looked at the man made him feel a little weird. "Long time no see, Hamish."

"Long time no see..." Man, no, Hamish murmured. "Long time no see...?" Suddenly, he glared angrily at the woman in front of him. "You dare to tell me it's been a while?" He growled. "It's been so many years—you..." He widened his eyes, but he seemed to have suddenly lost all his strength, and sat down on the chair that had been pulled away at some point. "For so many years...you never thought of going home to have a look..." He buried his face in his palms and said weakly. "Does Josh know you're back? Does anyone else know?"

The woman shook her head. "As soon as I arrive, I will come here first." After thinking about it, he added another sentence. "Feel sorry."

Hamish looked up. "We thought you were dead," he said hoarsely. "Tahlia - we thought you were dead... It's not like we didn't hear anything about what happened to your place a few years ago..."

"I'm not dead." Tahlia said flatly. "I'm still sitting here, aren't I?"

"Then why haven't you answered our letter?" Hamish became excited again. "We sent hundreds of... no, thousands of letters to you, why didn't you reply? Tony also said—he also said that he would rush into the wizarding world... rushing into the wizarding world to find you! But if you don't With your guidance, none of us managed to find the entrance to Diagon Alley...not even Josh once went in—we..." He was trembling all over. "We all thought...we'd lost you forever—"

"Feel sorry."

Hamish shakes his head. "I'm not asking for an apology, Tahlia—I just want to know where you've been all these years and why you never contacted us."

Tahlia was silent for a moment before speaking. "I dare not take the risk of contacting you rashly."

"So what we've heard is true—" Hamish nodded. "What really happened to you..."

Tahlia wasn't surprised that Hamish would hear about the chaos Voldemort had caused, after all there had been quite a few attacks on the Muggle community. "Yes, and we won." She was lucky she was alive, despite the cost to both parties.

"But why?" Hamish asked again. "Even if there was a fight, what's the matter with you? Why don't you dare to contact us?"

"Because I was involved," Tahlia said. "Hamish, I participated in that fight." After saying that, he turned his head slowly, staring blankly ahead. "But I won't have anything to do with it any more—"

Hamish didn't answer, he had a hunch that Tahlia had something to say.

"I'm tired, brother." Tahlia sure enough spoke again.

"Then go home," Hamish said quickly. "Home is waiting for you at any time──"

Tahlia shook her head. "No." She refused directly. "Too many people know where you live - all I want is to be gone...from there."

"But you came to us—" Hamish said expectantly. "If you really meant to leave for good, why did you come to us?" he asked. "If someone really wants to find you, obviously we can't completely hide a wizard? After all, you have... how to say? You have a lot of ways to let people tell your secrets──"

"So I won't tell you where I'm going." Tahlia said flatly. "I'm here this time to let you meet someone."

"Who?"

Tahlia didn't answer right away, but pointed to the boy who had been sitting quietly across from her. "Meet Nigel." Hamish realized that there was another child sitting there, and the sight of Tahlia gave him such a shock that he didn't even notice anyone around him.

"He is my son."

"Are you telling us now that we haven't been able to find you for so many years, and just after we all thought you were dead, you suddenly appeared with a... son?"

Tahlia wasn't sitting in a restaurant anymore.

Now she was sitting on the sofa in the living room she was very familiar with, and Nigel was sitting next to her, still not saying anything, while four men sat opposite her, all looking at her seriously.

The words just now were spoken by Josh.

Tahlia didn't speak, just sat quietly.

"That's good—" Josh continued, though his voice trembled, not knowing what kind of emotion it was. "That's good, Tahlia—you have a son."

"I'm not a kid anymore, Josh—"

"Of course I know you're not a child!" Josh suddenly yelled. "But where is that man? Did he come with you?" For some reason, he had an intuition that he hated the child's father very much, so he snorted. "Obviously he didn't come, where is he, Tahlia?"

It took Tahlia a moment to speak. "It doesn't matter, I don't intend to see him again—"

"Why don't you let me guess?" Josh said angrily. "Little Sirius?" This guess is very reasonable, considering that the boy in front of him also has black hair.

Tahlia shook her head.

"James?"

"James and Lily are married, Josh." They're both dead—but Tahlia didn't say that. "Don't guess, it's all over—" she said, then stood up slowly, and the boy beside her immediately followed suit.

"Where are you going?" Billy asked immediately, ready to jump up at any moment.

"I'm here to say goodbye," Tahlia said, not seeing that the four men were all stunned after hearing her words. "And I'm leaving now."

She didn't want anyone to find her, and while she was sure that person would never want to come to her, Sirius would.

And as long as there is someone who wants to find her, she will not stay here, because this must be one of the key places they are looking for.

"There's nothing I care about anymore, brother," she said. "I'm sorry I let you down──" bowed slightly. "Thank you for taking care of me growing up, I really don't know how to repay you..."

None of the four could utter a single word.

Even though Tahlia said that there was nothing she cared about anymore in the wizarding world, it must be a lie.

If you don't care, how could you want to leave far away.

In the end, they watched Tahlia disappear with the boy named Nigel, and they couldn't keep him.

The greatest pain in life is to find that they never got it after they lost it and found it was just their illusion.

Early the next morning, a man rang their doorbell.

The Watsons' home has always been rarely visited.

Tony, who opened the door with doubts, saw that it was Sirius, and pulled him into the room anxiously. After seeing him, the rest of the people also rushed forward, throwing questions at him one after another. body.

Sirius was dizzy from being asked. Originally, he came here with a lot of questions, such as Tahlia's whereabouts. Who knows that he was thrown more questions as soon as he arrived here──but this did not prevent him from thinking about Tahlia's brother. A conclusion was drawn from their interviews.

Tahlia came back here, took Nigel with her, but left immediately.

With Nigel... Sirius thought of the taciturn but actually very fragile boy, and cursed unconsciously. "I must kill Snape."

Then, when he raised his head, he found that the eyes of the four men in front of him were wide open, but they seemed to have suddenly realized.

Not only did Sirius draw conclusions from their words, they also got their answers from Sirius' unconscious expletive.

Severus Snape, huh?

very good──

Very very good.

Maybe they should ask little Sirius how they can find out where the damned man lives.
