[HP] His little devil

Helena couldn't pretend to say that she hadn't thought about leaving Regulus.

Slytherin understands Slytherin. They don't have the impulsiveness and courage of Gryffindor. When encountering difficulties, they seem to pay more attention to their own interests.

Regulus was like that, so should Helena.

Even though they clearly knew this, they still felt uncomfortable with each other.

Helena didn't answer Regulus' question right away. She stood in the breeze under the night, and the wind blew her long red curly hair. She tightened her school robe, and the fourth grade girl became more mature and beautiful, with bright eyes The style is more charming in dim light.

Regulus stared at her until she opened and closed her red lips, continuing the topic just now.

"Do you still remember the prophecy I saw before?" Helena looked away and said, "It was the prophecy I saw in the tea in the divination class."

She couldn't see Regulus' expression, and didn't know his reaction, but his tone was very calm.

He responded calmly: "I remember." He said, "You saw me die."

Helena took a breath and let it out, still looking away and said: "Do you know what mood I was in at that time? You definitely don't know, I didn't tell you all." At this point she finally turned her face and looked at His eyes, his gray pupils, were staring at her, hot and dangerous, with the dark shadows of the Blacks.

Helena took a step back subconsciously, a little hesitant, but she didn't really give up on what she was going to say next.

She mustered up that damned Gryffindor-like courage, and said clearly: "I have never dared to recall the prophecy I saw that day. As long as I think that you may die, I can't maintain my sanity. In this world like There are still many people like you and me, who are suffering life and death that I can't even imagine because of that person's ideas. I respect pure blood as much as you, and hope to restore the most glorious past of pure blood, but all this It should not be built on bones and blood."

She grabbed his hand, his hand was cold, she was startled, and said in a suppressed tone: "It is because of people like them that Slytherin is notorious, and everyone hates Slytherin." Lytherin has an inherent evil impression. Maybe Slytherins are not righteous, but it doesn’t mean they will kill innocent people indiscriminately. We can disdain people who don’t conform to our ideals, and we can make ourselves better by not being with them. Excellent, ignore them like dust, but you shouldn't mutilate and expel them to the extreme, even persecute Muggles who don't know anything about wizards in the future... And, those Muggles are not as weak and stupid as we imagined .”

She tightened her grip on Regulus' hand, and said with a sigh of relief: "I know that my thoughts may be difficult for you to understand, just like it is difficult for me to understand that person, the choice of the Black family, and yours. It's like letting it go. In fact, it's not me who should make the choice from the beginning to the end, but you." She met his silent but sharp gaze, and said word by word, "The person who should make the choice is you, Regulus, I'm waiting for your choice, I won't tell anyone everything I know, if you don't feel at ease, you can forget about me."

After saying the last words, Helena let go of Regulus' hand, closed her eyes and stood in front of him, calmly waiting for his spell.

but.

Nothing at all.

He doesn't even talk.

After a long time, Helena slowly opened her eyes.

In the darkness, the two looked at each other, and neither of them proposed to leave first.

When the curfew was approaching, Regulus finally spoke.

He smiled, that smile was very short and fleeting.

He said: "Do you think that even if I agree with your point of view and agree to the prudent request you mentioned earlier, do you really have a way out?"

Helena bit her lip and said nothing.

Regulus said lightly: "There is no way out. Although no one in our family is a Death Eater, there is no way out. Helena, whether it is me or my family, there is no way out today. .”

This is a very real problem.

That lord is becoming more and more powerful. Sober purebloods like Helena are a minority, not a majority. That person is strong and intelligent, and he can't tolerate half a grain of sand in his eyes. It's too late.

He hardly needs to ask his parents, he knows what answer he will get.

If they quit now, they would become public enemies of the Dark Lord's forces, and it would be difficult for them to even guarantee their own safety.

Going forward with difficulty is easier than retreating.

Helena looked at Regulus' face, as if she could read his thoughts and what he didn't say.

Her face turned pale, and Regulus slowly raised his hand to caress her cheek, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't be afraid." He said softly, "Don't be afraid, you haven't walked in yet, have you? You are very smart , the loss was stopped in time."

The words "stop the loss in time" made Helena feel that she was mean and hateful. She opened her mouth to say something, but Regulus' index finger pressed on her lips, stopping her from speaking.

"Don't say anything." Regulus said lightly, "Let me think about it. You are right in saying that it is not you who should make the choice, but me." His deep gray eyes were fixed on watching After holding her for a while, he put down his hand on her lips and said, "You are a girl, I shouldn't let you be troubled by these things." His cold hand moved from her face to the top of her hair, Straight through the red hair for her, "Let me think about it, Helena, I need to think about it... think about it carefully."

Before curfew, Helena went back to her bedroom.

As soon as she entered, she saw Maggie lying on her bed, and Evelyn sitting beside the bed, and they both smiled secretly.

"Finally back," Margie said. "I thought you were going out all night like Parkinson."

Helena looked at Parkinson's bed: "She hasn't come back yet? It's almost curfew."

Evelyn shrugged and said, "She probably won't be back tonight. After you and Black slipped away, she was severely humiliated by Lestrange in the common room."

Helena didn't care about other people's business anymore, she walked to the bed and said, "What are you two doing in my bed?"

Maggie and Evelyn looked at each other and whispered, "Blake called off the engagement, is it because of you?"

Helena was stunned, speechless for a moment, Evelyn thumped her a little angrily: "You hid it too deeply Helena, if it wasn't for Maggie who found out that you disappeared with Blake, she couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart." I don't even know when you and Black hooked up!"

Helena pursed her lips and said, "It's not like what you said."

Evelyn tilted her head, and pulled her to lie on the bed together: "What? Didn't he cancel the engagement because of you?"

"..." It was really for her, but things didn't go as smoothly as everyone thought. Helena frowned, feeling a little distressed.

Evelyn and Maggie looked at each other, and said softly, "Could it be that you two slipped out together tonight to fight?"

Helena thought for a while and said, "It's not considered a quarrel, but the situation is not optimistic. I can't say anything now, I can only take a step forward."

Maggie looked regretful, Evelyn hesitated and patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry baby, you are so beautiful, no matter what you do, Blake will forgive you."

Helena was helpless and wanted to explain, but felt that Evelyn was right. It was indeed what she did that caused them to break up. Although Evelyn was wrong, she hit the right spot.

Helena didn't sleep well that night, as soon as she closed her eyes, it was the prophecy she saw in the tea that day.

She kept seeing Regulus being dragged down, and the surroundings were dark and cold, and bursts of piercing pain invaded her head and body, and finally she woke up screaming.

Maggie was the closest to her, and when she heard it, she immediately opened the curtain and said, "Helena, are you alright?"

Helena panted quickly, clutching the quilt tightly and said, "I'm fine." She gritted her teeth, "It's just a nightmare."

Maggie sighed, and was about to say something when someone preempted her.

Ceci Parkinson returned to the dormitory at some point, and was woken up by her screams, and said sneeringly: "Do you have nightmares? Aha, this is the first time in real history. It must be your selfishness." Da finally provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked, so he was cursed?"

Evelyn also opened the curtain, glared at Parkinson and said, "Shut up if you can't speak, Parkinson, you were humiliated by Lestrange like that, Helena didn't even mock you, but you satirized others ?”

Parkinson was poked in the sore foot, pointed at Evelyn and said, "Selwyn, try saying it again!"

Evelyn got out of bed directly, approached her bed and said, "Just try it, what do you want?"

Parkinson blushed and was speechless for a while, and finally drew the curtain directly and chose to escape.

Evelyn snorted disdainfully, stretched her waist and said, "Since you're all awake, let's get up. It's time for class after dinner. This morning is the dean's class."

Helena sat on the bed, and she kept the curtains closed, so others could not observe her expression.If they had seen it, they would definitely not have exposed this matter as easily as they do now.

Helena wasn't doing well, she didn't do well in Potions class, Regulus wasn't with her, and of course he wasn't with Lestrange, he was with Rosier, which made Helena unbearable Thinking——Actually, he could have chosen a male classmate as his deskmate from the very beginning, and he didn't have to choose her. What was the purpose of choosing to sit next to her when he walked into the classroom that day?

After the class was over, she went into the library to have a quiet time. When she was looking for a seat, she saw Snape who was doing homework. Apart from his place, there were quite a lot of people, and some people were whispering gossip. Helena After hesitating for a moment, he sat across from Snape.

Snape looked up and saw that she lowered her eyes again, the quill was writing without pausing, and the mockery had already come out of her mouth: "Miss Bird's dark circles are the finishing touch to your beautiful features, and your pale skin It makes your red hair more vivid, if I didn't know that you are a pure-blood wizard, I would have suspected that you were a vampire who sneaked into Hogwarts."

Helena frowned, did not speak, and turned out her Potions homework to write.

She didn't refute, Snape looked at her again in a little surprise, seeing that she was absent-minded, he thought for a long time and said: "Lestrange and Parkinson were fighting in the courtyard last night, you didn't participate in it, why did you get involved instead?" A look of frustration?"

Helena lowered her head and said, "What should I look like?"

Snape said indifferently: "Confused? Excited? You finally got your wish. Black has canceled the engagement. Maybe he will be engaged to you soon. You can be happy in any way, but you shouldn't be like this now."

Helena got a headache when she mentioned this matter, she held the quill tightly and raised her head: "It's not as simple as you think."

Snape raised his eyebrows: "Really? I don't think I understand your complex emotional entanglements very well, but the wrong content you wrote on the sheepskin makes me unbearable—are you a pig brain? Helena Byrd ? Shrunken figs must be shelled when making potions, or you won't see the sun tomorrow!"

When it came to potions, Snape seemed unreasonable, and Helena muttered while correcting her mistakes: "You should really be a potions professor. If you were the one giving the lectures, I wouldn't dare to do that." kind of mistake."

Snape twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard her mumble, and was about to point her to other questions when he caught a glimpse of a familiar and heart-wrenching figure out of the corner of his eye.

It's Lily, and here she is, with her roommate, Mary Freckles.

Snape was holding his breath, and Helena noticed that he looked back strangely, and saw Evans and Mary Macdonald passing by.The former smiled at them with a slightly stagnant expression and was about to leave, while the latter grabbed the former unconvinced.

"Lily, what are you rushing to do? Shouldn't you go over and say hello? Snape is your good friend. Are you going to let that Slytherin bird snatch him away?" Mary MacDonald Na said angrily.

Lily felt very sorry for what she said, and pulled her arm and kept smiling apologetically at Helena. Helena didn't say a word, which was a way to save face for Snape and her, but Macdonald didn't want to leave so easily.

She broke away from Lily's hand, walked to the table and stared at Helena proudly: "Hey, Helena Bird, you imitate Lily everywhere, seduce her suitors, and steal her best friend, Now you still want to tarnish Black, what is your intention? Are you trying to take away everything from Lily? Don’t think that you can replace Lily and get everything from her because you are also red-haired and blue-eyed!"

Helena looked at her with wide eyes, pointed at herself and looked behind her, and said incredulously, "Who are you talking about? Are you talking to me?"

Macdonald said angrily, "Of course it's you! Don't act stupid! Everyone has eyes and can see for themselves. Do you think you can escape responsibility by pretending to be stupid!"

Helena thought it was ridiculous, so she laughed out loud. Lily stood up to stop Macdonald, frowned and said seriously: "Don't talk about Mary, it's not about Miss Bird, you made a mistake!"

"You're just too kind Lily! Helena Byrd obviously has a problem! Why don't you just listen to my advice? It's fine with Potter, he's gone astray, look at Snape! He's your The good friend I met before entering school, now not only does not contact you for the whole summer vacation, but also does not even talk to you after school starts, this is obviously her trick!" She pointed to Helena and said indignantly, "She has been talking to you since last semester. I started to get close to Snape, and that's when Snape alienated you! Who else could it be if she wasn't playing tricks? Even if you can swallow this breath, I can't accept this. I have to question her for you , Lily, stop pulling me!"

Lily was taken aback by what Mary MacDonald had to say, but she still held her back and stopped her from offending Helena.She glanced at Snape with some hurt and blankness in her eyes, obviously sad and puzzled by her friend's neglect for no reason.

Snape sat there without saying a word the whole time, not even watching the farce, his black eyes fixed on the parchment on the table, his body motionless.

Seeing him like this, Lily lost her mind for a moment again, and MacDonald went too far when she lost her mind.Her "high-spirited talk" attracted many people's attention, and Mrs. Pince's warning sounded soon. If the warning hadn't come in time, MacDonald might have held a lecture in a place like a library for reading books.

Is Helena the kind of person who suffers from being dumb?Absolutely not.

So it is impossible for her to keep silent at such a time.

She put down her quill, stood up slowly, straightened her school gown, and said with a smile: "I really can't agree with Miss MacDonald's series of accusations, let me guess why you came to slander me on a whim—is it Are you really just complaining about Miss Evans? I can't see it. I remember you mentioned Black at the beginning? I think it must be the Black of Gryffindor, right?" She raised the corners of her mouth, and her smile deepened, " Are you now rambling with jealousy because Black gave me two extra glances at dinner?"

Mary MacDonald's pupils shrank, and the hand that pointed at Helena trembled, as if she was being told.
