[HP] His little devil

Regulus was also stimulated by Helena's ambiguous behavior, he let go of his hand covering her mouth like an electric shock, and the soft touch of her lips still remained in his palm.

Of course, apart from this, the wet palm also reminded him of another thing.

He couldn't help thinking about what they did that day behind the curtain of the Slug Club. In the quiet, small and slightly dark space, Helena and Regulus were breathing anxiously. They looked at each other, and it was Helena who broke through first. There was silence.

"Is there anything you want from me?" Helena glanced at the corridor and said, "This is not a place to talk, Regulus, if you have anything to ask, you can tell me after class."

They are at the same table, and it is indeed more appropriate to use the time before get out of class is over to talk, but...

"You left after class recently, so I didn't have a chance to tell you anything." Regulus was stating the facts, his tone was clearly calm and rational, but Helena seemed to hear something else.

Is he complaining?

isn't it?

His tone didn't sound like that at all.

Helena once again felt that she was crazy, so she took a deep breath to keep calm, but it was really difficult for her to stand two people in this narrow corner, they were almost close to each other. Keep calm.

She endured for a while, then held her breath a little and said, "Then you can also write to me and tell me, there is really no need to be like this."

Regulus' answer was quick, not as hesitant and contradictory as she was at all, he asked the moment her voice fell: "What is it like now?"

...what is it like now?Helena glared at him a little angrily—what do you think it is now?My chest is almost on your body, can't you feel the contact between breaths?

Of course Regulus felt it.

He felt more clearly than she imagined.

He lowered his head and stared at her with his gray eyes unblinking. Helena was furious at his sight and wanted to just leave, but Regulus grabbed her hand again.

"You've been getting very close to Snape lately."

Helena felt inexplicably guilty about his endless words, and she tried to explain: "It's not very close, it's just normal classmates."

"You are often seen doing homework in the library together."

"Oh, that's when I need him to tutor me."

"Remember what I told you?"

Helena was stunned: "You told me a lot, what are you referring to?"

Regulus pulled her back to her side, she bumped into him due to inertia, she let out a soft cry, her lips brushed his chin when she raised her head, Helena's heart skipped a beat, Regulus' gray eyes dimmed.

"Did you mean the phrase 'leave the near and seek the far away'?" Helena said with her eyes lowered, feeling blessed.

She didn't look at Regulus, but could feel his breath intertwined with hers. She paused for a while and said, "But I don't think that's appropriate. Snape and I are closer in identity, and I don't have much contact with him." You need to be so careful, don't worry..."

Worried about falling in love with him.

Helena didn't dare to finish the last sentence, but Regulus seemed to want to hear it, and grabbed her wrist forcefully and asked: "Don't worry about anything."

Helena took a breath, raised her eyes to meet his rarely aggressive eyes, and said helplessly, "What do you say? What else could it be? Of course, you don't have to worry about being gossiped."

Helena obviously felt that Regulus's grip on her loosened a lot after she finished lying. She didn't want to be sentimental, but she seemed to really see the disappointment in his eyes.

Helena's heart was unspeakably sore, she should have taken this opportunity to leave, but she was still young after all, instinct and experience made her sober, but the situation in front of her made her obsessed.

She breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help saying: "Christmas you..."

She wanted to ask if he was really going to announce his engagement to someone at the Blacks' ball on Christmas.

But she started to realize that she had no position to ask this.

Her cheeks were flushed, her green eyes were full of contradictions and embarrassment, she was still clenched into a fist by the hand held by Regulus, and under Regulus' inquiring eyes, she stiffly switched to a less sensitive question: "Do you have time for Christmas?"

Regulus didn't expect her to ask such a question, he temporarily let go of her hand, and said softly, "What?"

Helena lowered her arm, pinched the wrist he had grabbed with the other hand, bit her lip and did not speak so quickly.

Merlin knew that she was just making up an excuse, that's not what she wanted to ask, so how would she answer now?

After thinking about it, Helena could only bite the bullet and say: "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't invited you to my house for a long time, so I'm asking if you have time for Christmas."

Of course he's running out of time!How could he have time to visit her house when he was going to the big Christmas ball at Black's house?

Not to mention how shabby her home was, everything that could be exchanged for money in Bird Manor was exchanged for money, decent furniture was nothing, and if Regulus came to her house as a guest, she didn't even know where to ask him to sit.

Helena waited silently for his refusal, he really didn't have time, it was perfect for her to use this to ambiguously ask her original question, but Regulus thought for a moment and said——

"I have time." He opened and closed his thin lips, "Can I do it at night?"

Helena looked at him with wide eyes, this time she was really too surprised, unable to hide her emotions.

Regulus' gray eyes carefully painted her beautiful face, and his deep and magnetic voice slowly said in a small space: "There will be a dance at home at Christmas, and I must attend. But I can do it at the dance." Go to your house as a guest after it's over. It's probably rude, but you should be the only one in your house." He turned his eyes and asked her, "So, do you mind if I go over at night?"

do you mind?

Of course I don't mind.

As long as he is willing to come, even if there is nothing to entertain him, even if it may be very embarrassing, Helena is actually happy.

Her eyes were hot, and she was worried that she would shed suspicious tears on this occasion. Helena raised her head and pretended to look at the stone wall above. After a while, she said in a complicated tone: "Actually, you know that I am just looking for indivual……"

It's just an excuse, she is not "sincere", he can directly refuse, and then pretend that nothing happened.

Her words were interrupted in the middle, and Regulus said incredulously, "I don't know."

Helena looked back at him, he was lying, he must know.

"I'll be there on Christmas Eve." He lowered his voice, "I'll temporarily turn on the fireplace at No. 12, Grimmauld Square, and temporarily connect to Bird Manor. You wait for me at home."

Helena was upset, but she still had common sense: "...Will Mr. and Mrs. Black allow you to do this? As the oldest and noblest pure-blood family, they probably have kept their mansions extremely secret And protection, even if it is temporarily opened to the fireplace in my house, it should be an extremely special case, will they really agree?"

Of course they won't agree, but so what?

Although Regulus didn't say this clearly, his silent expression was exactly what he meant.

Helena's blue eyes stared at him, and being looked at by her, it was obviously not wise to continue to remain silent, so after a while he said, "Dad and Mom, they have always been very... tolerant to me."

Tolerance is a relatively reserved word, in fact it is better to describe it with indulgence.

Compared with the harshness of the Black family to Sirius Black, Regulus enjoys endless preferential treatment, and even the house elves in the family treat them both differently.

The reason for this state of affairs is not difficult to explain-it is simply that Sirius Black is so different, and his difference is his original sin.On the other hand, Regulus is a "family member" who makes people feel comfortable and kind.

Just like their bedroom at home, Sirius Black's room is full of trying to show himself different from the rest of the family, while Regulus is just the opposite.Slytherin's silvery green was everywhere, covering beds, walls and windows.The family crest of the Black family and the French motto of "forever pure" carefully depict his bedside. Everything about him is carried out according to his parents' expectations and family needs. It is precisely because of his sense of identity and mission that his parents have high expectations for him. , very conniving.

Helena could also think of why Mr. and Mrs. Black trusted Regulus so much and were so "tolerant".

This thing he valued was precisely the reason why they couldn't get together.

Thinking of this, Helena regretted everything she had said and done today, and she didn't want to really receive Regulus at Bird Manor on Christmas Eve.She was extremely contradictory, two emotions of joy and rejection were competing for her heart, making her complexion very ugly.

Regulus didn't give her a chance to refute everything that had been finalized, he was about to leave, and before he left, he asked one last question: "Don't you have anything for me?"

Helena pursed her lips and said, "No."

In fact, there are.Yesterday was his birthday, of course she prepared a birthday present for him, she carefully prepared birthday presents for him every year, but at this moment, she denied it.

She said no, so emphatically.

Regulus looked at her for a while, then suddenly reached out to her.

Helena looked at him with wide eyes, and his hands fell on the side of her face, brushing away her long curly red hair, and pinching her earlobes.

Helena froze there for a moment, looking at the calm young man in disbelief, his cool fingertips caressed her soft and delicate earlobes, and took off her beautiful but worthless earrings with ease.

After his hand left, Helena immediately raised her hand to cover her missing earring, and was about to say something, when Regulus pinched the earring and said, "Then use this instead. "

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, the black school robe curled up lightly. As for what the earring was used to replace, Helena knew very well.

It's just a birthday present.

Helena blushed and let out a breath slowly.
