[HP] His little devil

Regulus took Helena to Madame Padiff's teahouse. It was a small and cramped teahouse. Everything in it was decorated with tacky lace, even the small round tables.Mrs. Padiff decorated the inside of the teahouse with a very strange hanging ornament. From time to time, a fat golden angel threw sweets to the guests who came in.

It's a popular dating spot for Hogwarts students, and even if it's not Valentine's Day, it's packed with couples looking for fun.

Helena thought about the possibility of going out here with her future boyfriend, but since her boyfriend became Regulus, she stopped thinking about it.Because no matter how you look at it, people like Regulus are not the kind of people who would come to this kind of place.

But he was the one who didn't fit in here, so he casually took her hand and walked in.

As soon as they entered, they were surrounded by pairs of eyes. There were many familiar faces, and Helena even saw Chesack and Maggie.Maggie was standing at the edge of the crowd holding Chesak's arm, and when she saw Regulus walking in holding her hand, Maggie's eyeballs almost fell to the ground.

When she came back to her senses, Maggie looked at Helena with eyes of admiration. Helena was so embarrassed that she could only smile shyly.She wanted to let go of Regulus holding her hand, but Regulus grabbed her hard, ignoring her struggle, she was a little embarrassed, and quickly glanced at him, but he didn't look at her, his eyes fell on On Mrs. Padiff who was walking slowly.

Mrs. Puddiff is a middle-aged witch who still has charm. She holds a fan in her hand and is dressed in fancy clothes. When standing in front of them, Helena can smell an intoxicating fragrance.

Well, it was much more smoky than the bottle of jasmine perfume that a stranger gave her. It was aggressive, and she didn't like it very much.

"Mr. Black, compared to your brother, you are really a rare visitor here. Welcome." Mrs. Padiff waved her fan and said, "I have been keeping the private room you booked for you. Come quickly, you are here again Stand down, everyone will not be able to drink tea and chat."

Helena thought so deeply, so she quickly followed the other party. Regulus held her hand all the time, and he didn't let go when they entered the private room.

He held her with one hand, held his wand in the other hand, and said a few spells to the closed door of the private room, and the door of the private room completely disappeared from the outside.No one can bother them unless they open the door from the inside.

When Helena knew what he had done and got away from the crowd, she was just relieved, but became nervous because of this discovery.

Regulus finally let go of her hand at this moment, she immediately put her hands behind her back, and wiped the sweat from her palms on the school robe.

Regulus noticed her little movements, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and there was a hidden smile in his gray eyes. He pretended not to know anything and said to her, "Sit down, did you make a cake this year? I miss you Probably not, so I prepared this."

He waved his wand again, it was obviously a very ordinary wand that didn't look good, it was even simple, but it was ever-changing in his hands, as if it contained infinite power.

Helena touched her wand with the hand hidden in her school robe, and felt that it was really flashy.

The birthday cake appeared on the table, and it was much more delicate than what Helena made last year. She was stunned for a moment and asked, "Could it be you who made this?"

Regulus was silent for a while and said, "No."

Helena breathed a sigh of relief.

Regulus glanced at her and said, "Not all conditions allow me to do these things."

Helena nodded understandingly: "Fortunately, you didn't do it. If you did it, I probably wouldn't want to eat it." After a while, she frowned and said, "Maybe I'll use a permanent preservation spell to store it away. stand up."

The corner of Regulus's mouth hooked up, as if he was smiling or not, he waved his wand again, and the candle appeared on the cake and burst into flames.The next moment, the light in the box dimmed, and it was he who drew the curtains to isolate the comings and goings outside from the inside.

"Make a wish." He said softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the flickering candlelight.

Helena's face burned for no reason, she coughed lightly and said, "Oh, yes." She sat on the chair opposite him, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes in a dignified way, and silently recited her wish in her heart.

A few seconds later, she opened her eyes and blew out the candle, but the light in the box was still not much brighter, instead it became darker because the candle was extinguished.Helena tried to pull the curtains back, but Regulus held her half-stretched hand.

"That's it." In the dim light, Regulus said in a low voice.

Helena's hand trembled, and she slowly withdrew her hand after a reply.

Regulus didn't stop her anymore, and she successfully retracted her hand.

Sitting there, Helena was really fidgeting, and she had to move from time to time, for fear that she would freeze in the chair.

Regulus sat across from her and watched her for a long time, and finally brought up a topic: "What did you wish for?"

Helena pursed her lips and said, "You can't express your wish. If you say it, it won't come true."

"Oh." He nodded and said again, "Then I just want to ask you—is it a wish related to me?"

Helena was silent for a while, then nodded embarrassingly.

Regulus stood up suddenly, walked to her side, and sat down shoulder to shoulder with her.

"Then you should say it." He whispered, "Since it is a wish related to me, you can tell me, maybe I can help you realize it now."

Helena didn't look at him, her eyes fell on the birthday cake with the candles out, she was quiet for a while and said, "You really want to know? You can indeed make it happen for me."

Regulus was silent for a moment, probably guessing what the wish was from her tone, but he still followed her and said, "Then tell me."

Helena clenched her fists and said, "I hope to have a good time with you."

The concept of "being together well" was so big that Regulus had to carefully consider whether he could easily make the promise.

He didn't speak for a long time. He knew exactly what Helena was implying. She hoped that he would make a choice as soon as possible, so why didn't he want to.

"Give me some time." After a long time, he said softly, "I will make a choice, but not so fast. Actually..." He dragged out his tone and lowered his voice, "Actually I don't admire him as much as you think."

Helena's heart skipped a beat, she couldn't help but grabbed his hand, and looked at him sideways: "Really?"

"Compared to a leader who is far away in the sky, your words by my side have more weight. I say that, can you understand?"

Helena was cheered up by Regulus' hidden deep meaning, and she excitedly grabbed his hand: "Really? My words carry more weight? Did you really listen to my words?"

Regulus didn't want to upset her on her birthday, so he nodded.

Helena was very happy, with an undisguised happy smile on her face, Regulus looked at her for a long time, and suddenly felt that he still couldn't fool her so bluntly.

So he finally said what he really thought.

"I did listen to your words, but I really have no way out." He said in a deep voice, "My family has been on this road for too long, and it is difficult to turn back. I can only continue on. But What I can promise you is that I won't get too deep."

Helena froze for a moment: "You mean..."

"On the surface, everything needs to be passable, and even some sacrifices are required. This will take some risks, but for you, I will always reserve a retreat for myself and my family."

His words were ambiguous, and he didn't say exactly what he was going to do, but it seemed that he was planning to "follow the yin and obey the yang."

His attitude made Helena even more worried.

Thorough loyalty may go to extremes, but you can do one thing in person and another in the back, and you may be able to protect yourself if you are not discovered, but what if you are discovered?

The consequences could be disastrous.

Helena unconsciously tightened Regulus' hand, with such strength that a man probably couldn't bear it.Regulus didn't say anything, he let her hold her until she came back to her senses and let go.

"Does it hurt?" Helena asked him in a low voice.

"It doesn't hurt." He seemed indifferent.

Helena looked at his hand that was scratched red by herself, bit her lips and said, "Why doesn't it hurt?" She began to gently rub his hands for him, she lowered her head and said nothing, her depressed breath made Regulus Can not ignore.

"You're worried." He broke through her thin disguise.

Helena just lowered her head and said, "I feel like I've caused you trouble, maybe it's better for you not to be together..."

As soon as these words came out, Regulus no longer allowed her to play with his hand, he directly held her instead, she had to raise her eyes to meet him, his gray eyes were undisguisedly dark: " You want to leave me?"

Helena sighed: "If possible, I want to be with you forever."

"Of course, it's okay, I can take care of everything." He said firmly, "Don't think about those things, don't say those things, you haven't caused me any trouble, I will take care of everything, even if Without you, I'm not sure what I'd end up doing, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Helena didn't speak, but Regulus suddenly said, "Do you know why I sat next to you in the first grade?"

Helena was taken aback when he suddenly mentioned this, and she subconsciously said, "Is it because I didn't look at you with fanatical eyes like other girls? You want to study hard, so you need to be quiet..."

"If you need to be quiet, you can sit with someone of the same sex." Regulus said.

Helena kept her mouth shut.

In fact, she has also thought about this question, or recently.

As he said, if he really just wants to be quiet, he can find a boy to sit with him.

But he chose her.

Helena's thick eyelashes flickered like a small fan. Regulus looked at her steadily and said, "I haven't thought about it. But if you think about it, you can understand why you did that. He pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly and said, "Probably from the first time I saw you, from the time I saw you wet in the rain before sorting, I have liked you."

Helena leaned into his arms in astonishment, even forgetting to breathe.

"You were all wet that night, your school robe was wet, and your red hair was dripping. You asked me if I knew the Drying Curse, and I helped you." Regulus' voice was right next to her ear, " I helped you, Helena. Maybe from then on, you are different in my heart." He said in a humble tone, "I took the initiative to help you, but you may not know... I am not as good as you imagined. Helpful. So many freshmen got wet, but I only helped you."

...Probably from the very beginning, Helena wasn't the one who fell in love with him first.

Probably from the beginning, the first person to make a choice was Regulus.
