[HP] His little devil

Maggie once told Ceci Parkinson that if Regulus favored Helena, she would feel honored as her friend too.

She feels the same now as she said.

She was shocked, disbelieving, and somewhat delighted.

Of course, it's not without jealousy, but that kind of feeling is not much. First, she regards Helena as a good friend, and second, she has been rejected a long time ago. After so long, to be honest, she doesn't like Regulus that much anymore. After all, rushing is not a business.

Knowing what Regulus and Helena really had on Valentine's Day, she was happier than being asked out.

The fat and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders!She also has face when she speaks out!

"Will he break off the engagement with Lestrange?" Maggie's eyes sparkled.

Helena smiled stiffly. She didn't know how she told the truth. Maybe she was a little unbelievable when Maggie asked, so she was off guard.

But it's good to say it out, some things are always held in the heart and things will go wrong, and she feels relieved to have a friend who can share what's on her mind.

So she didn't hide it, shook her head and said frankly: "I don't know."

Maggie was a little disappointed, but quickly cheered up: "Since he said he would give you an explanation, he will definitely cancel the engagement. It's only a matter of time. Don't be discouraged."

Helena looked at her with complicated eyes: "I thought you would be unhappy knowing this."

Maggie smiled and said, "Of course I'm a little jealous of you, but at least it's you, right? If it were someone else, whether it was Lestrange or Parkinson, I would be really angry."

Helena was right after thinking about it, but she would be the same, if Regulus' betrothed was Maggie or Evelyn, she would probably be happy to accept it?No, there is no gladness, but acceptance is certain.

The two chatted for a while and left, unaware that a group of four at the Gryffindor table opposite was discussing them.

"What do you think Bird and her friend are talking about?" Potter stretched his neck, "Could they be talking about me?"

Pedilu said softly: "Maybe yes, after all, today is Valentine's Day, and recently your name is always tied to Bird."

Potter twitched the corner of his mouth and was about to say something when he heard Lupine say, "I don't think so."

Potter looked over: "Why?"

Lupine said flatly: "Didn't you see? Before they talked, Sirius' brother talked to Miss Bird."

Sirius raised his eyes and glanced at the other side's long table. Everyone had almost left, and there were only a few people left, all unfamiliar people.

Potter was a little surprised. "So what? He's not all engaged."

Lupine was silent for a while and said, "What do you mean now, James?"

James Potter was taken aback.

"Or, what do you think? Isn't it your plan to chase Miss Bird? You care so much about these things, do you take it seriously?" Lupine spoke in a very calm tone. Potter heard this But it looks like a cat whose tail has been stepped on.

He stood up angrily and said, "Of course not! How is this possible? You know my feelings for Evans better than anyone else. How could I take this seriously? I just..."

"He's just not convinced." Sirius said for him, "Don't think so much about Remus, Helena Bird is not suitable for any of us, James or anyone else."

The words were too profound, and Potter didn't have any emotional intelligence, so he didn't hear it. Peter Pedirou rolled his eyes and stared at Lupin with secretiveness. Lupine sat there with a pale face, and nodded after a while and said: "you are right."

Sirius smiled and said nothing, but Potter finally came to his senses, he was taken aback for a moment before saying, "Remus, don't tell me you..."

"It's nothing, James." Lupine interrupted him, "Sirius is right, I shouldn't think so much. In my situation, I shouldn't think about it." He smiled palely, "That's so irresponsible."

I am not responsible for myself, nor for girls.

In such a situation, he should be alone forever.

This was Lupine's subtext, he suddenly didn't want to stay with his friends at this moment, he got up and left alone, Potter wanted to follow, but was held back by Sirius.

"Don't go, let him be alone." Sirius said lightly, "If he can't figure it out, no one can help him."

Potter hesitated, "But Sirius, I don't think Remus is right to think that way. If he really likes Byrd, then he should..."

"What should it be? Do you think Bird will like him? Or, do you think they can really have results?"

Sirius Black's words made Potter give up chasing Lupine.

He thought about it carefully. What stood between Lupine and Helena was not only the grudge of the college, but also the difference in status.Lupine's lineage, Helena's lineage, their ideas, it's all too difficult.He couldn't imagine Helena Bird with Lupine at all, and she with Snotluck seemed more likely to him.

Potter sighed at the thought.But in fact Sirius Black had more to think about than what he thought of.

In his opinion, Lupine is 100% not going to get what he wants, and even if there is a [-]% chance, he will support him with Potter.

But he knew exactly who his brother was, and there was no way he would give Lupine that chance.

Lupine had better not make Regulus an enemy because of this.

He only thought about keeping Lupine and Regulus from being enemies, while Potter and Regulus were on the other side.

This happened in the evening, Sirius was not there at the time, and was dragged away by the girl. After all, today is Valentine's Day, as a school girl, he should not be too popular.

Potter was on the order because he wanted to show off in front of Helena as planned and give Evans a final blow.

To see Helena, he had to go in the direction of the cellar, so it was no surprise that he met Regulus.

He didn't feel that he was looking for him, so he raised his foot and wanted to leave, but Regulus blocked him in the next second.

Potter paused, noticing something unusual.

He was about the same height as Regulus, and the two looked at each other for a moment, before he spoke first, "You are Sirius' younger brother, I don't want to have any conflict with you, so please get out of the way if it's okay."

Regulus looked at him indifferently, and Potter had to admit that he looked a lot like his brother, which made him dazed for a moment.

But he soon discovered the difference between him and Sirius. Sirius would not look at him with such cold and arrogant eyes.

Potter frowned and wanted to leave, but Regulus directly raised the hand holding his wand.

Potter was very vigilant, and immediately drew out his wand and confronted him: "What do you want to do?" He rarely asked calmly.

Regulus squinted at him and said, "What do you want to do again?"

"What does it matter to you what I do?" Potter frowned.

"If you are going to find Helena, then it has something to do with me." Regulus held the wand, turned his eyes to stare at the green gemstone on the wand, and said in a casual tone as if he was talking about the weather, "If not, then you You can leave the cellar, this is not the place for Gryffindors."

Hey, guess what, I really came to find Helena, what can you do to me?

Potter wanted to say that, because Regulus, a man a year younger than him, treated him with such disdain.

But he really didn't come to provoke right and wrong.

He will go to Evans in a while, that is the most critical part of tonight's plan, it would be bad if he was locked up or deducted points.

So don't make trouble here.

Potter took a deep breath, passed Lily Evans' face several times in his mind, and finally calmed down.

"Whatever you want." He said indifferently, "Anyway, we have almost completed the task here."

He turned to leave, but Regulus didn't let him go so easily.

"Also, don't get close to her in the future."

Potter turned his head when he heard the words: "Who did you say not to get close to?"

"You know." Regulus stared fixedly, not moving a bit.

Potter squinted his eyes, even though his EQ was so low, he realized something, slowly opened his eyes wide and said, "You like her!"

This is the first time someone has directly pointed out this matter. In fact, neither Regulus nor Helena has directly expressed the word "like".

Regulus frowned indifferently when he heard a love rival who could not be called a love rival point out everything.

"Hey, Blake, don't forget that you are engaged. You have to be responsible to your fiancée and Bird. If you really like her, you should call off the engagement." Potter said seriously, " I seldom give advice to Slytherin, you are the first time, I only say it because you are Sirius' brother, think about it for yourself."

He left after speaking, in a hurry, obviously in a hurry to do something.

Regulus didn't know what was wrong with him, as if he was frozen by his words, he stood there for a long time without moving.

Helena is not in the bedroom at the moment, nor is she in the common room.

She was in front of Lily Evans.

"So that's how it happened." Helena said calmly, "That night at the Black Lake was just a misunderstanding, a chance encounter, and Potter mistook me for you. Everything he has done recently is just scheming, all to make you Understand your own heart. I think time is enough, and you can see clearly, right."

Evans' eyes were red, and he said after a while, "You mean, he just wanted to stimulate me, so he kept..."

"Yes, don't finish the sentence. I got goosebumps when I heard that." Helena put on a disgusted look.

Her appearance eased Evans' emotions. She forced a smile and said, "I'm very grateful that you can come and tell me this. Actually, I... I don't know what happened. I think I might have really I don't understand my own heart."

Helena felt that it was time for her to leave at this time, and it was better to leave her alone for the rest, or wait for Potter to come to her and confess her true feelings.But she suddenly thought of Snape's pale face in the sun again, and she couldn't help but talk too much.

"It's not too late to understand everything now." She hesitated and said, "But I hope you can handle the relationship between Potter and Snape well. Feelings and friendship are very important. Don't hurt friendship for the sake of feeling. As far as I know, Snape met you before Potter, and Potter has a group of friends, but Snape probably only has you."

After saying that, Helena left after finishing speaking. Evans stood where she was, with the words "Snape is probably only you" echoing in her ears. When Potter finally found her, her eyes were red. Say: "If you want me to accept you, then you must accept my friend and get along with him..."

Potter... mixed feelings.

In fact, Helena felt that she was really talkative.

If Evans could handle the relationship between Potter and Snape well, she would have handled it long ago. If she couldn't handle it well at the beginning, no matter how hard she tried later on, it would be useless.

She felt that she was putting too much thought on others, so she should stop thinking about those and think more about herself.

It was Valentine's Day, everyone was out on a date, and the Slytherin common room was empty early.

When Helena walked in, she was still regretting that she had to spend another Valentine's Day alone, and when she was done regretting, she remembered what Regulus said at the long table, and the kiss he offered at Bird Manor.

All of these signs point to her not being unrequited.

Can he really explain to her when the fourth grade starts?

She walked forward in a daze, without looking at the road, and accidentally bumped into someone.

No, to be precise, it crashed into a familiar yet unfamiliar embrace.

The faint woody fragrance is so familiar, but this embrace is a bit strange.

She didn't have many opportunities to get close to this embrace, and she didn't dare to recall the few times, for fear that she would think too much.

She raised her eyes slowly, and saw Regulus' pale and melancholy face.

"Helena." He whispered her name, which made Helena's heart itch.

She even forgot to push him away, or stay away from him, and just leaned in his arms, letting his cool arms slowly wrap around her waist, and said "Huh?" in a daze.

Regulus lowered his head slowly, and approached her in the empty silver-green Slytherin common room, his cool lips brushed against her ear, and she heard him say something in a low voice: " Happy Valentine's Day."

...so she didn't spend Valentine's Day alone this year, did she?
