[HP] His little devil

The meaning contained in Regulus' words made Helena blush and her heart beat.

She nestled in the young man's arms, feeling the warmth of his embrace, and said in a hoarse voice: "You hug me too tightly, Regulus, I can hardly breathe."

Regulus loosened his strength symbolically, and asked her, "What about now?"

Helena nodded silently, and when she nodded, her forehead touched his face, feeling his breath filled with his smell, Helena felt that she was about to suffocate.

"Actually, you don't have to call me that." Regulus said before Helena choked.

Helena calmed down and asked in a low voice, "Are you saying that I don't need to call you Regulus? Then what should I call you?"

Regulus pointed out: "People who are close always have more intimate names. When there are only the two of us, you can call me..."

He paused, and Helena was a little anxious: "What are you calling?"

Regulus smiled lowly, his chest vibrated, and Helena in his arms felt deeply.

"What do you say?" He asked without answering.

Helena blushed even more, and she felt like she was going to burn.

She took a breath, hesitated for a moment, and slowly wrapped her arms around his waist. This was not the first time she had hugged him like this, but every time she sighed——his waist is so thin.

His shoulders are so broad, but his waist is so thin. His entire upper body is a perfect inverted triangle. Even wearing a school robe can't hide his good figure. He is worthy of being the Seeker of the Quidditch team.

Helena thought wildly in her heart for a while, and said with a sigh of relief: "Then... I call you Rael."

Luckily, she guessed correctly the address he wanted her to change.

In fact, this is just a title, and it doesn't matter what it is called—this was Regulus' thinking in the past.

But it's different now.

When Helena called him that, he felt the hairs all over his body stand on end.

"Helena." He lowered his head and looked at her from a distance, his eyes fixed on her lips.

Helena noticed that gaze, and said with a thunderous heartbeat, "I'm here."

Regulus moved closer to her face, and when the two were about to touch their noses, he suddenly stopped.

"I haven't given you my gift yet." He probably smelled the faint scent of jasmine on her body, frowned slightly and gave up the idea of ​​kissing, let go of her arm and said, "Do you still want it?"

Helena immediately said: "Of course." There was a little disappointment on her face, but she quickly brushed it away, "Are you willing to give it to me again?"

Regulus glanced at her: "You should explain that bottle of perfume."

Helena said helplessly: "Actually, I don't know how to explain it. I was just walking and ran into Remus Lupine from Gryffindor. Before I left, he picked up the bottle of perfume and said yes Mine, don’t give it to me.”

Regulus said with a delicate expression, "Remus Lupine?"

"Yes, he said I left it behind, and told me to cherish gifts from others." Helena spread her hands and said, "I said that I don't accept gifts from strangers, but he forced them on me. The reason why I want I snatched the perfume back from you just because I was afraid that you would misunderstand it. Besides..." She said in an inexplicable tone, "I like that smell, the scent of jasmine, I like jasmine, you know?"

Regulus froze, looking at her in surprise, a rare embarrassment appeared on his face as time passed.

"I'm sorry." After a long time, he whispered, "It's my fault, I didn't even know about it."

Helena has been paying attention to him and has a panoramic view of his emotional changes. She smiled happily and said: "I'm not angry, you don't need to apologize at all, I didn't tell you that I like this, it's normal for you not to know. "

Regulus looked at her and said in a complicated tone, "But someone knows."

Helena froze and said, "I'm also very surprised about this. I haven't mentioned it to anyone, and I don't know why anyone would know."

Regulus lowered his eyes, the name Remus Lupine passed through his mind several times, and then he was temporarily put into the "box" related to Severus Snape.

"Here is my gift." He took out the exquisite little box from the pocket of his school robe and handed it to Helena, "I hope you like it."

Helena happily took it, and while unwrapping the gift, she muttered to herself: "Of course I would like it, even if you gave me a carefully packaged slug, I would happily accept it."

Regulus admired her imagination, and smiled meaninglessly with the corners of his mouth curled up.

He really hoped that she would like it and not be intimidated by his gift.

But after Helena happily unwrapped the present, she was really frightened.

"..." Helena stared at the "gift" in the box with her eyes wide open, her red lips parted and closed for a while, but she couldn't say a word.

Regulus opened his arms and leaned against the table, and said calmly: "I wanted to give this to you when you went to see my mother during the summer vacation. But you left, so I can only give it to you now. "

Helena closed her mouth, retracted the shock and bewilderment on her face, and said after a while: "Do you know the meaning of giving the ring?"

Regulus said quickly, "Of course, of course I do. I was going to use it as our engagement ring. It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Yes, Regulus' birthday present to Helena was a ring.

A very beautiful, very Slytherin ring.

The dark green gemstone is inlaid on the platinum ring, surrounded by a ring of diamonds, it is very shining, even in the box with not so good light, it is very dazzling.

Helena was in a very complicated mood, holding the gift box for a long time without moving.

Regulus looked at her for a while and said, "Scared you?"

Helena didn't speak. She wanted to refute, but she needed to choose her words carefully. This gift was too heavy and had different meanings. She couldn't accept it so easily.

While she was thinking about it, Regulus had already started to reassure her.

"Don't worry." He said softly, "I'm not forcing you to get engaged or married to me."

Helena looked up at him: "It's not that I don't want to marry you."

Regulus embraced her shoulder again, touched her face soothingly and said, "I know." He whispered, "But no matter what the decision I make, before my plan comes to fruition , we can’t get married easily.”

As his elder brother, Sirius did many things that he disagreed with.But Sirius was right in saying that he shouldn't be selfish not to think about what would happen if Helena married into the Black family at this time.

He shouldn't be blindly confident, thinking that he can handle everything.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, what if?If something happened that they didn't want to accept, one can imagine how hurt Helena would be.

He didn't want her to be hurt, and he didn't want anyone to bully him, even if that person was his mother.

Moreover, since he has listened to her words, it will be impossible for him to obey the family and that lord in everything in the future, which means that he may be in danger.He couldn't even marry Helena when he didn't get a stable job.

He can't drag her into this danger, she should live in peace and tranquility, just like she is at this moment.

"Regulus." Helena's eyes were red, she knew him too well, she could sense some things even if he didn't say them, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's my fault, I should..." He should be braver and more reckless, and no matter what happens in the future, no matter how many crises and hardships there are, he should be with him without hesitation.

"It's not your fault." Regulus lowered his head and pressed his forehead to hers, "Helena, it's not your fault, you are right, even if you want to run towards me like a Gryffindor now , accept everything about me, follow me against your heart, and I will not let you sacrifice so much to be with me."

Helena choked up and said: "Why do you make things so scary, you are so good, as long as you are willing, there are countless girls who are willing to give everything for you, I am too bad, I really..."

"But none of them are you." Regulus said indifferently, "I admit that I may have been angry with you in my heart because of this before, but I have figured it out. In fact, you are not only planning for yourself, but also for Me. The fundamental reason why you are worried about all this is because of me, I understand. "

Helena wanted to say a lot, but didn't know how to say it, so she could only throw herself into his arms and sniff.

"You want to live a peaceful life and revitalize your family in a dignified manner, I think you are right." He hugged her and said to himself, "Others should know that you are right to think so... revitalize Pure blood doesn't need to be so extreme."

It was late that day when Helena caught the train back to Hogwarts.

She held Regulus' gift tightly in her hand, and went back to the bedroom with a heavy heart.

Evelyn and Maggie had been waiting for her to explain, and when they saw her, they pulled her to the bed.

The three of them huddled together on a bed, drew the curtains, cast a spell of secrecy, and then chatted with peace of mind.

"You and Black appeared at Mrs. Puddiff's teahouse and went to the private room—do you know how much sensation this caused in Slytherin?" Maggie said with a look of admiration, "Everyone is talking about whether you and Black... ...well...that's..."

"What?" Helena asked puzzled, "What are you talking about about me and Regulus?"

Maggie blushed and hesitated, Evelyn couldn't take it anymore, and said directly: "Everyone is saying that you are like this!"

She made a gesture, and Helena understood it at a glance. She blushed instantly, and hid back: "No! No! How could it be! How old are we! We are only 15 years old!"

Evelyn pulled her back and didn't allow her to dodge: "What's wrong with being 15 years old? I can't help it when I'm so in love. It's understandable to do anything. In that kind of confined space, there are only you and Blake, and you still don't know what to do?" After staying there for so long, saying that you didn't do anything, you won't even believe this kind of nonsense."

Helena's face paled: "But we really didn't do anything."

Maggie observed her for a while: "...really didn't do anything?"

Helena nodded.

Evelyn looked at her: "Oh, seeing your disappointed look, I kind of believe that you really didn't do anything."

Helena blushed again: "Don't keep saying strange things, Evelyn, when did I get disappointed."

Evelyn smiled and said, "You should look in the mirror, you have 'Oh, he really should do something' written all over your face."

Helena was so ashamed that she simply turned away from her friends.

With this movement, she tore open the pocket of her school robe, and the gift Regulus had given her fell out.

"Huh?" Maggie picked it up and said, "What a beautiful box, it looks very valuable. This must be a birthday present from Blake, right?"

Helena immediately turned her head when she heard the words, and saw that the gift box containing the ring was in Maggie's hand, she stretched out her hand nervously: "Give it to me."

Maggie was stunned, but Evelyn reacted quickly and rushed over and said, "Why are you so nervous? It's just a birthday present. It's okay to show us, right?"

As she spoke, she opened the box, and the precious ring lay quietly inside, glowing with a dark and gorgeous light.

For an instant, the three girls in the curtain fell silent.

The first to react was Evelyn.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Should we call you Mrs. Black soon?"
