[HP] His little devil

More than one person at Hogwarts has compared Helena to Lily Evans.

They have the same color of hair and eyes, but have very different schools and personalities.

Like her name, Lily Evans is a bright and cheerful lily, and Helena Bird is also like her name, like a beam of soft and warm light, giving people a gentle and delicate feeling.

But such a gentle and delicate person is from Slytherin, which makes her more contradictory attractive.

Helena ignored Parkinson's unfriendly gaze, and went to Honeydukes with Maggie and Evelyn.

Because it was the first time they came to Hogsmeade, the three of them seemed a little excited, a little less cautious and restrained that belonged to Slytherin, and even bumped into someone if they were not paying attention when walking.

Helena was a girl, and she wasn't too tall, but the person she bumped into seemed to be weaker than her. She still stood still, but the person almost fell because of her unsteady figure.

"Remus!" James Potter's voice sounded. Helena had heard this young master Potter barking his teeth and claws on weekdays. She was quite familiar with his voice, and it was not difficult to tell whether the Remus he mentioned was who.

She quickly looked back and saw Remus Lupine being supported by Potter and Peter Pedillo. Potter was greeting him, not showing the slightest complacency in his usual pranks. Helena was a little surprised by that look .

But she quickly averted her gaze because she sensed an unfriendly gaze.

She looked over slowly, and met Sirius Black's gray eyes, which were very similar to Regulus's, but completely different.

Regulus' eyes were always calm, no matter what happened there was no disturbance.Sirius Black's is just the opposite, his eyes are rich, vicious, cruel, contemptuous, pitiful.And so on, he always reveals his emotions unabashedly, just like this moment.

Helena sensed his malice towards her.

He doesn't like her.

Of course he could not like her, but seeing that face so similar to Regulus showing disgust towards her, Helena still felt uncomfortable.

She stood up straight, refraining from looking at Sirius Black, focusing only on the man who had been hit.

"Are you okay?" Although the two colleges were tit-for-tat, and she didn't like Gryffindor very much, she still greeted her after bumping into someone.

However, before the hit Remus Lupine could speak, James Potter spoke for him.

Without even looking at Helena, he accused: "I don't know what you're thinking when you walk without looking at the road!" When he turned his eyes, he saw Helena's school robes first. The corners of his mouth were raised maliciously, wanting to say something sarcastic, but in the next second he saw Helena's face, emerald green eyes, and long red curly hair. He was stunned and swallowed everything he wanted to say. went back.

"I'm fine." Lupine took this opportunity to say, "It's okay, I'm also responsible, and I don't look at the road much, don't mind James' words."

Is a good old man.He looked weak, pale and haggard, looking into her eyes with little Gryffindor dislike for Slytherin.He definitely didn't want the conflict to intensify. After all, everyone came to Hogsmeade to play, not to fight.

Helena didn't say much, she nodded and said, "As long as you're fine."

After she finished speaking, she was about to leave with Evelyn and Maggie. James Potter didn't realize it at this time. When Helena passed them, he thought he said in a low voice: "Damn, I almost thought Been watching Evans for a long time."

Helena glanced sideways at him and said nothing, but Lupine said softly, "Miss Bird and Evans don't look alike at all."

James Potter: "Isn't it? Her hair and eye color are—"

"Hair and eye color are also different. Evans' hair is not as red as Miss Bird's, and her eyes are a little darker green than Miss Bird's..." Lupine murmured.

Helena was surprised that he would have such an opinion. They are really not familiar with each other. Her knowledge of him only stays with the robbers. His words made her take a second look at him, Lupine Looking over lightly, the two looked at each other, Helena hesitated for a moment and said: "Your face is not very good-looking, pay attention to rest."

Lupine froze for a moment, his pale face made the blush in his ears more obvious, but fortunately Helena left soon without her noticing.

But Sirius Black found out.

"Remus." He said flatly, "Don't tell me you like that Helena Byrd."

Lupine said immediately, "I'm not, I haven't."

"Really, then you really know her."

"I just... paid a little more attention because people kept comparing her to the girls James liked."

"Oh." Sirius Black smiled and said, "This is the best, don't forget that guy is a Slytherin, and... she is also at the same table as my well-behaved brother."

Even if Sirius Black didn't fully understand what kind of person Regulus was, as an older brother, he had his own understanding.

He didn't think Regulus was the kind of person who would stay at the same table with someone for three years for no reason, so he didn't want Lupine to get involved in this relationship.Not only because Regulus was his brother, but also because Lupine was his good brother.

Lupine didn't say anything, and quickly left with the three of them. They didn't notice that in the open space not far away, Regulus stood with a few Slytherins, looking at this side thoughtfully.

Helena and Maggie went to Honeydukes, but Evelyn thought there were too many people here, so she went to Fengya wizard clothing store first.

When Helena and Maggie arrived at Honeydukes, they regretted why they didn't go to the clothing store with Evelyn. There were really too many people here, not only inside, but also outside. They wanted to go in and buy something. quite difficult.

Helena looked at the poster on the Honeydukes window. The magic poster on the poster was melting and solidifying. It seemed that she could smell its sweetness standing here. Of course she wanted to try it, buy some to taste, but she Money is tight.

The crowd became a good excuse for her. She said to Maggie, "Do you want to go in? There are too many people, so I won't go in. I can wait for you outside."

Maggie was also a little concerned about the crowds, but she really wanted the candy on the poster, so she frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Then you wait here for me for a while."

Helena nodded.

Maggie asked her before she left, "Do you need me to bring you anything?"

Helena smiled and said, "No need, I don't like sweets."

Maggie nodded and quickly got into the crowd.

Helena actually has a sweet tooth, but she never shows it.She was too poor, and there was nothing valuable left in the Byrd Manor. When she was in the first grade, she was smeared, and she struggled to work during the summer vacation. In the second grade, she was able to make money, and she didn't want to waste money on snacks.The higher the grade, the more expensive the textbooks, and all the money she saved had to be used wisely.

Standing and waiting outside Honeydukes, Helena reached out to catch snowflakes from time to time.Snow had already started to fall in Hogsmeade in September, and Helena lowered her head and counted the petals of the snowflakes, so as to block out her chaotic thoughts.

A shadow blocked her light, and Helena looked up and saw Regulus.

"Regulus?" she asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Regulus stood there, always holding a book in his hand, and Helena quickly glanced at it. It was the kind on the Honeydukes poster.

"Are you here to buy candy?" She was a little surprised, "You also have a sweet tooth?"

The word "also" is very subtle, as if revealing her preference, Helena hesitated for a moment before returning to her calm and calm appearance.

"It was given by someone else."

Regulus answered her question. His tall and straight figure seemed to block the wind and snow for her. She couldn't catch the snowflakes, so she put her hands down.

"I don't like sweets." His tone was calm, which was the state she was most familiar with. "If you like it, that's fine."

Helena was stunned: "What?"

He raised his hand and handed the candy box to her, with a light and polite smile on his deep-lined face.

"Give it to you." He said without thinking, "Happy birthday."

Helena didn't know in what mood she accepted the box of candy.

Regulus didn't stay long, and soon left with others. Taroya Murcibo gave her another look and smiled meaningfully. She stood there with her head bowed, her long curly red hair covering most of her s face.

Maggie saw her pensive look when she came out, and she ran up excitedly and said, "You don't know how lucky I am! I bought the last box! Eh? Wait, you have it too?"

Looking up at Maggie's surprised face, Helena was silent for a while and said, "I went in to buy it when you weren't paying attention."

It would be unwise to confess that it was given by Regulus, and possibly bring disaster upon himself.

Counting Helena's four girls in one dormitory, probably all four of them are interested in Regulus.

As Regulus' constant tablemate, she even helped Maggie send love letters on Valentine's Day.

She still remembered how stiff Regulus was when she pushed the love letter to him on Valentine's Day in the second grade, and he was obviously relieved when he learned that it was from someone else.

Of course he didn't accept the love letter, and refused very politely. Maggie cried for a long time in the dormitory after learning about it.

Helena has always hidden her liking for Regulus, not only for Regulus himself, but also for other people.She won't let others know, because she knows that this secret love will end without a problem.As long as she likes him quietly, she won't burden anyone.

After returning from Hogsmeade, it wasn't long before it was time for dinner.

Helena ate something casually in the auditorium and left alone. Evelyn and Maggie were still eating and didn't pay much attention to her whereabouts, but Ceci Parkinson looked at her curiously for a long time.

Helena didn't go back to the common room. She rode the moonlight to the edge of the black lake. The breeze stirred her curly red hair and black school robe, and the sound behind her made her turn her head slowly.

She stood by the black lake, the lake was sparkling, reflecting the girl's young and delicate face.

Regulus came step by step from not far away, and she counted his steps in her heart, and when he stopped, she said, "Thank you, I'm glad you can come."

Regulus looked around and asked her, "Where are the others?"

Helena said calmly: "Because you promised to come, I remember that you don't like excitement and being surrounded by girls, so you didn't call anyone else."

Under the dim moonlight, Regulus stood there upright, and she observed all the expressions on his fair and handsome face, guessing whether he would see through her clumsy lies.

In fact, she didn't mean anything else, she just wanted him to spend her birthday alone with her.They were both in the third grade, and he should get engaged soon, following the standard path of an heir to a pure-blood family.After he got engaged, she could no longer like him silently and get close to him in the name of a friend. She could only do it now while she could, lest she regret it for the rest of her life.

She kept saying "Don't pierce her" in her heart, and he seemed to have heard her voice, his thin lips opened and closed, but no sound came out.

"Let's eat a piece of cake." Helena took the opportunity to take out the reduced cake and said after zooming in, "I made it myself in the kitchen, do you want to try it?"

Regulus never ate what was handed to him by others, this was a habit he had grown up with since he was a child.

He lowered his head and stared at the cake that Helena handed over. She had already cut it in advance. The cake was not too big, and he cut it into two pieces, exactly one piece for each person.She probably didn't plan to invite other people to come in the morning, just look at the size of the cake.

Helena kept extending her hand, but Regulus never took it.

Her arms were sore, but she persisted.Finally, when a gust of cold wind blew by and Helena began to tremble, Regulus took the cake.

"Thank you." His voice was deep and clear, "But I have eaten it. Can I take it home to eat?"

He didn't look at her, nor did he see Helena's disappointed expression.She bit her lip, smiled and said of course, and the two stopped talking after that.

Helena ate the cake on her own, without mentioning lighting candles or making a wish.

Regulus stood aside to accompany her, and as time passed, some people gradually gathered by the Black Lake.

Knowing that the time was almost up, Helena raised her smile and said, "Thank you, Regulus, let's stop here today."

Regulus also saw the approaching person, he didn't refuse, but before he left, he took something out of the school robe pocket and handed it to her.

Helena was about to leave, seeing him so stunned, she looked down and saw a gift box in his hand.

"Birthday present." He said calmly.

Helena couldn't hide her surprise: "What else? I thought the candy during the day was a birthday present."

Regulus remained silent, and Helena didn't hesitate, and accepted the birthday present graciously.

She picked it up, and he had no reason to stay any longer, and left before the others came over.

Slytherin's school robes curled up beautifully in the night wind, and Helena held the gift box that still had his body temperature, feeling mixed feelings.

This wasn't the first time she had received a gift from Regulus.

As a classmate with a decent relationship, Regulus would never miss her in the gifts he prepared for every festival.

But that was mostly what the Blacks got ready for him to send.

He didn't know about the first grade birthday, he didn't send anything, and he gave a simple brooch for Christmas. Helena later found out that the brooch was very similar to the one Avery's sister received. Never wore it again.

In the second grade, he accidentally found out about her birthday from Evelyn and gave her a book about potions.

Helena felt ashamed for a while, remembering her Potions results.

When it came to Christmas, the things Regulus gave were not the same as before.

She didn't quite know why he sent him Galleon directly, but she later found out the reason on the card he attached with the gift.

He didn't know what she needed, so he just gave her the money to buy herself a Christmas present.

It was the most practical and happiest gift Helena had received. Although its value was obviously not as good as the previous brooch and the lone potion ancient book, it was the only one he put his heart into.It is not the same as others, it is prepared by him.

After returning to the dormitory with the gift, Helena pulled up the curtain to lock herself in, and quietly opened the birthday present he gave this year.

She saw the Black family crest at the corner of the gift box, her heart skipped half a beat, she lifted the quilt to cover herself as if hiding a secret in her heart, and said "Luminescence" in it, the wand lit up, and she could see clearly Gifts in a gift box.

is a necklace.The pendant was a beautiful green gemstone, which at first glance looked like nothing else, but when the light from the wand was extinguished, the gemstone gleamed in the dark.

Like Helena's name, it is a warm and soft light.

Slytherin boys' dormitory.

Regulus sat in front of the table and looked at the cake on the table. He rested his head on one hand, his gray eyes were emotionless, as if he was just looking at the cake without thinking about anything.

He never eats what others hand him, even from people he trusts, it's out of habit.Even eating the three meals prepared by the elves after arriving at Hogwarts, he overcame the discomfort for a long time.

Looking at the cake that Helena made with her own hands, she had already eaten the other half, and he hadn't touched the other half.

He suddenly frowned, his picturesque face was a bit stern, he didn't turn on the lamp, the subtle light shone on his face, he slowly raised his hand, picked up the cake and took a bite.

Very sweet.

Sweeter than Mama and Kreacher's.
