[HP] His little devil

With Regulus' promise, Helena's heart disturbed by the "prophecy" calmed down a lot. She finally realized how inappropriate the intimate behavior between the two of them was at the moment, and she immediately withdrew and stood up to pack her things.

Regulus followed her and stood up straight, quietly watching her pack her things from behind her, and when she picked up her schoolbag and was about to leave, he didn't intend to say anything.

Helena turned her head to look at him, bit her lips after hesitating for a long time and asked, "Then we are reconciled now?"

Regulus seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses and said, "Well... it's reconciled."

Helena grabbed the strap of her schoolbag: "You don't blame me anymore?"

Regulus straightened his school robe and picked up his schoolbag: "I never blamed you, it's my problem." He turned to her sideways, his eyes fixed on the ground, "I shouldn't blame you. You made that request, you didn't do anything you shouldn't have done."

Helena opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. Regulus quickly faced her. After looking at her for a while, he raised his hand to stroke her thick and soft red hair, and whispered, "I was Dazzled by jealousy, I shouldn't interfere with your normal friendship, I believe you and Snape are just ordinary friends, you have nothing between you. In fact, even if you have anything, with my current status, I am not qualified Mind that. I shouldn't have done that to you, it was my fault, sorry."

Helena was a little flustered by his candid apology. She blinked and said, "No...it's not entirely your fault, I have problems too. I won't comfort anyone like that again in the future, and girls won't..."

"...Girls are still fine." Regulus said this, and suddenly laughed lowly. Helena was a little dazed by his melodious laughter, as if she had run away from home rationally, only knowing that she was stupid over there.

Immediately afterwards, she felt her eyes dim, and the person in front of her approached her face, turned her head and kissed her on the cheek.

"It's time to go, we've stayed here for too long." After the short and restrained kiss, Regulus straightened up and reminded her gently.

Helena woke up in an instant, she didn't care about what to say, she grabbed her schoolbag and ran out of the divination classroom.

After that day, news spread that Regulus and Helena had stayed alone in the classroom after the divination class.

Lestrange, as Regulus' fiancée, turned a blind eye to the rumors and smiled with disdain. Her impeccable appearance made it difficult to figure out whether the rumors were true or false. Most Slytherins still didn't believe it. As for Regulus' lace news, he is different from his elder brother, he is the object of their admiration, and they don't think he would do something that is out of his mind, even if some classmates said that they saw everything with their own eyes.

Just because Slytherin doesn't believe it, doesn't mean Gryffindor doesn't believe it.

James Potter is particularly convinced that he has been talking about his younger brother in Sirius' ear these days, and Sirius asked him when he got tired of hearing it: "If you are so dissatisfied with him, you can go to him directly. It is useless to talk to me. Yes, James."

James said angrily: "Your brother is engaged! He should abide by the etiquette and not add trouble to his fiancée!"

"I don't even know when you care so much about Slytherin's behavior, they do something out of the ordinary, shouldn't you be the first to applaud, and then watch the fun and laugh at them?" Sirius is not salty He glanced at him lightly.

James opened his eyes and said, "That's different. Those are your brother and Bird. They are different from other Slytherins. One is your relatives, and the other is..."

"What is it?" Sirius asked, staring at him.

James said dryly, "...he was someone I was familiar with before. Anyway, I don't think this is right. You should go and persuade your brother not to delay others, and treat your fiancée well since you are already engaged."

"Do you not want him to delay his fiancée, or do you not want him to delay Helena Byrd?" Sirius asked him, stopping.

James was surprised: "It's both, but what's wrong with that?"

He was so calm that Sirius didn't speak for a while, and he observed him for a while before saying: "This shouldn't be something we worry about, you are too abnormal James, otherwise you would only worry about Slytherin before." Applause for unseemly gossip."

"What's wrong with me, if it wasn't your brother who was at the center of the rumors, I would worry about it? I just can't see your family doing that kind of thing, and I don't want it to affect you." James said unhappily snorted.

Sirius kept walking forward with his hands in his pockets, complex emotions echoed in his gray eyes.

"No matter what they do it won't affect me," he said in a nonchalant tone. "They don't think of me as family."

James was well aware of his situation in Black's house, so he didn't care about the topics just now, and said directly: "If you don't have a good summer vacation, you can come to my house to find me at any time, and write to me if you can't come out by yourself , I will save you."

Sirius tilted his head and smiled and said, "Understood."

At least he still has a place to go, doesn't he? The world is so big, besides that cold and oppressive big house, there is also a warm and eager place waiting for him.Sirius Black's frozen and indifferent heart beat slowly.

The end-of-semester exams are coming up soon, and this is probably Helena's best year in exams, because her Potions grades this year won't pass the mark again.

When she packed her things and boarded the Hogwarts Express, she felt a little melancholy, because she was going back to that big manor again.

Helena was not used to guarding that empty place alone, even if it was her own home.

Thinking of the cold and silent house all day long, and the old house elf Leif, Helena let out a long sigh of relief, and couldn't read the book anymore, so she simply put it away and lay down on the table to watch the rapidly receding scenery outside the car window.

Every time she goes home from a long vacation, she feels depressed. In order not to affect her friends, she finds an empty box by herself.

Now that she was alone here, she didn't need to hide her melancholy troubles.

All she could think about was how she was going to revitalize the Byrd family.

This burden once fell on her parents, but they died of illness before they had achieved anything, so the responsibility fell on her shoulders when she was young.

In what ways can a single girl revitalize a family?

Relying on her own strength is of course the best, which is also what she expects, but it takes time and connections. For example, if she wants to add glory to the family by going to the Ministry of Magic, she must also be able to be the Minister of Magic to achieve great achievements.

It's hard no matter how you look at it.She also knows nothing about politics.

For her now, the best and quickest way to revitalize the family is probably through marriage.

This is also the idea that Lady Bird instilled in Helena when she was still alive.

Before Regulus got engaged, Helena told herself that she liked him until he got engaged, and by then she would have to find her own way out.But when it came time for him to get engaged, she found that she could no longer part with him.

The brain is very clear about what to do, but the heart in the body doesn't listen.

Can't go on like this.

If this goes on, there is no hope.

Helena sat up straight, took a deep breath and told herself in her heart that she would pamper herself for one more summer vacation, and if this summer vacation ended, if there was no turning point, then she would force herself to come out.

The moment Helena made a decision, the door of the box was opened from the outside. She looked quickly and saw Regulus walking in sideways.

He was not wearing a school gown, which was rarely worn on the way back.He was dressed in a dark retro suit. Although he was young, his aura was already very strong.

This is a model for the heirs of a pure-blood family. Everything about Regulus seems to have been built according to that standard. With him setting the qualifying line so high, other heirs of pure-blood families have to work hard to catch up.

"Why are you here?" Helena was surprised at his appearance, her green eyes only stayed on his face for a moment before turning away, and she sat there and said, "You went to the wrong room, Regulus, your Friends are not here."

"But you are here." Regulus sat directly next to her, not even across from her.

Helena remained calm: "Is there anything you want from me? As long as I can do it, speak as soon as possible..."

She made it official, but Regulus didn't answer as she expected.

He looked at her and said, "I have nothing to see you, I just came to see you."

Helena continued to keep her composure...sorry she couldn't.

She frowned and looked at him: "What do you see me doing?"

There's really nothing to see, it's a holiday, and the train probably won't be long.

Regulus wasn't as close to the enemy as she was. He stared at her for a while, as if he could see what decision she had made when she was thinking wildly by herself. The menacing eyes made Helena's heartbeat almost stop. .

"Come here," he said suddenly.

Helena's expression was blank for a few seconds: "What?"

"Don't hide by the window, come to me." He stretched out his hand directly to her.

Helena hesitated and said, "It's more convenient to talk at this distance."

"I don't want to talk to you." Regulus directly stretched his arms around her shoulders, and forcefully pulled her back into his arms, "I want to hold you."

Helena's face suddenly turned red.

"Isn't that good?" She froze there, not breaking away from him.

"It's nothing bad." Regulus said rationally, "I remember I told you, Helena, I will give you an explanation. It will be this summer vacation at the latest, and you can rest assured to wait for my letter, or wait for our School starts. I hope you can listen to my words and stop making random decisions."

Helena said dryly: "I didn't make any random decisions." She made a well-thought-out decision, and it was a plan that a Slytherin should make for herself. Life is not only about love, but also many other important things. Even though she knew it would be difficult, she had to work hard.

Regulus obviously heard her subtext, and he was sure that she was really deciding on something. His handsome face quickly flashed a bit of gloom, which was the kind of gloom and arrogance unique to Blacks. Helena was lucky to be in the nine And three-quarters of the stations have met Mrs. and Mr. Black, and that is the characteristic of them who have practiced to perfection.

This was the first time she saw this on Regulus's face. In fact, there was very little excess emotion in him, no fanaticism, no urgency, and no obsession.But maybe he didn't have it, he just didn't show it.

If he doesn't, then everything is easy to handle, but if he just doesn't show it, then it's difficult.

You have to think about it—but at this age, you can hide all your desires and excesses very well, how strong your heart and nerves are?And usually such people are destructive when they explode.

At that time, whether it is facing enemies, relatives, friends, or lovers, it will be life and death.

Helena was a little nervous, she suddenly didn't want him to keep silent like this.

"Are you sure?" She took the initiative to break the silence, and her tone was surprisingly calm when she asked this question.

Regulus just looked at her like that, without any hesitation, said: "Yes."

Helena took a deep breath, no longer froze, but took the initiative to lean into his arms.

Regulus was taken aback, as if he didn't expect her to do this, her expression looked determined.

Helena gritted her teeth and said, "Just this time. Regulus, just this time."

Even if you go against the principle, you have to try again, whether you succeed or not, just this one time.

Regulus responded with such a calm voice, obviously no different from his usual speech, but it seemed to have the effect of a hallucinogen.

"One time is enough," he said.
