Snape remained silent all the way back to the castle, and Helena was worried.

When she arrived at the cellar, she couldn't bear it and said, "Don't think too much, it's more important to go to the medical wing tomorrow to treat the wound on your body."

Snape said indifferently: "The wound on my body is problematic at first glance. Do you think this is suitable for going to the medical wing?"

"The principal mentioned that he will ask Madam Pomfrey to take good care of you, so you should be able to go." Helena said.

Snape stopped suddenly, clenched his fists, and couldn't bear it anymore: "Fifty points! Just deducted fifty points! I almost died there, but he only deducted fifty points for them! He stared at Helena and gritted his teeth, "It seems that with Dumbledore, my life is only worth fifty cents, isn't it?"

Helena sighed: "This is the best result we can achieve, and you should also learn some lessons from this incident. There are four of them, no matter how curious you are, you shouldn't..."

"You want to teach me too?" Snape interrupted her coldly, and asked with a mocking expression.

Helena finished her words without haste: "What I want to say is that no matter how curious you are, you shouldn't run there alone late at night. You should call more people."

Snape was stunned, looking at her in surprise, Helena said in a low voice: "If you also invite three people to join you today, then there will be more people who discover the secret, and the headmaster will be able to do more. Concession...Although I don't think even that can stop him from defending the Hijacker and Remus Lupine, at least you don't have to take such a big risk, and we won't suffer so much."

Snape stopped talking.

He turned his eyes away, staring at the corner with his lips tightly pressed together.

It was too late, Helena let him be silent for a while, and then urged him to go back quickly. Just because he didn't meet Filch on the night patrol just now, it doesn't mean they won't meet again in a while. Before they are discovered, they have to go back to the common rest. room.

Snape did not refuse Helena's proposal, and the two returned to the common room in the darkness of night, and saw Regulus who had been waiting for a long time.

He sat sideways on the armrest of the sofa, his long legs bent casually, with a relaxed attitude.

It would have been a better picture if it weren't for the way his eyes fell on them with a lot of meaning.

"I can explain." Helena stepped forward and said calmly.

Regulus didn't answer her quickly, he tilted his head to look at Snape behind Helena, he smelled strongly of blood, his face was pale, and there was still a bloodstain on his chin.

"Mr. Snape is injured." Regulus concluded, "He should go to the hospital wing quickly, and shouldn't just go back to the dormitory." He stood up straight, "Let me help him." He lifted He walked towards Snape, patting Helena's head reassuringly as he passed, and that alone calmed Helena.

"You go back to rest first, and I'll take Mr. Snape to the medical wing." Regulus said with his back to Helena, without looking back at her expression, he firmly pressed Snape's shoulder, He left with this young man who was seriously injured and unable to resist him.

Helena stayed where she was, neither following nor not following, and could only kick the sofa irritably.

The road to the medical wing was very quiet. At this time, there would be no one else but them.

After leaving the cellar, Regulus stopped pressing Snape, and the two walked one after the other in the flickering corridor, and soon they met Filch who was watching the night.

"Mr. Filch, good evening." Regulus greeted him politely, and said under the flattering gaze of the other party, "Mr. Snape is injured, and I have to send him to the medical wing as soon as possible. Come out at curfew time, please understand."

Filch was a Squib, and he didn't have a good attitude towards most of the young wizards in the school, but he had a better attitude towards the Slytherin students, especially those students who came from aristocratic families and respected him relatively.

"Please, Mr. Black." Filch stepped aside, and Mrs. Norris meowed behind him.

Regulus thanked Filch and let Snape go first, and he followed instead.

After getting away from Filch, Regulus stared at Snape's back, and suddenly said, "I appreciate your ability, Mr. Snape."

Snape kept on walking: "You used sending me to the medical wing as an excuse to perfunctory Helena and drive Filch away. If you just said this to me, it would make me think that your brain capacity is no bigger than yours. How many brothers do you have?"

Regulus stopped, and there was no movement behind him. Snape also stopped, and without turning his head, he said, "I'm not in the mood to deal with you tonight, Mr. Black, you'd better finish your sentence as soon as possible." , otherwise you will have no chance."

Regulus stared at his back and said, "I'm not going to ask where you and Helena went, and I don't want to know where your injuries come from." He took a step forward, and his voice was closer to Snape's. , Snape tilted his head.

"I just want to tell you that Helena is mine. I won't allow anyone to bring her into any danger. Once I find out that someone has done this, I will do whatever it takes to make him suffer."

Regulus' words made Snape turn around completely. In the dark corridor, the two young men in Slytherin school robes met each other. After a while, Snape mocked: "You don't mean to say that?" You should come and tell me that you should go to your dear brother, everything happened tonight because of him."

Regulus smiled politely: "Really? This has something to do with Sirius?"

Snape paused, "If it wasn't for him, nothing would have happened."

Regulus fell silent and stopped smiling.

"You really have a good brother, Blake, and I look forward to the day when you brothers turn against each other."

After saying this, Snape couldn't stand the continuous humiliation any longer, and left here quickly.

Regulus stood where he was and watched him leave, and only when he was completely out of sight did he move away.

He didn't go back to his bedroom, or even to the cellar, but turned around and walked towards Gryffindor Tower.

Near the Gryffindor common room, he saw his brother waiting for him.

"I thought you would come earlier, but I didn't expect you to make me wait so long." Sirius rubbed his arms while speaking.

Regulus noticed his movement and asked him, "Are you injured too?"

"You mentioned 'also', so you must have seen Snape's injury." Sirius glanced at him, "What did he say to you? Oh, don't ask, he must have mentioned me. So it seems Helena Byrd didn't say anything after she went back, or she hasn't had a chance to say it yet. You smell like blood, and you probably had close contact with Snape, so I can tell—Snape told You have something to do." He raised the corner of his mouth, "Are you here to ask the teacher? Because I brought danger to your girlfriend?"

Regulus was quiet for a while before saying: "Snape said so, but I want to hear yours even more." He whispered under the shadows, "Compared to him, of course I believe you."

Sirius looked at his younger brother with complicated eyes. In the first few years, when they were young, they had a close relationship and talked about everything.

What makes them go further and further?

It is the burden of the family, it is different ideas, it is the growth of age, it is ruthless, and it is also sentimental.

"I can't tell you what happened tonight, it's a secret, and no one can tell." Sirius said after a long time, "What I can say is that I didn't expect Bird to show up, and I didn't expect things to develop like this Seriously. Or maybe I thought about it, but I didn't care." He smiled coldly and said, "I'm still a bit similar to that family member, isn't it? I didn't realize it until tonight. The malice that comes out of my flesh and blood, I control it unconsciously, I haven’t faced it intuitively, this is my mistake, I will try my best to restrain it in the future. I will change, I can do it.”

His last words didn't seem to be telling Regulus, but telling himself.

Regulus suddenly felt that he didn't need to ask anything.

He turned to leave, Sirius stopped him and said: "If Bird tells you something, you must remember that it must be kept secret. She has promised Dumbledore that if she leaks it because she told you, she will mess with you." trouble."

Regulus stood there without moving or speaking. Sirius pursed his lips and said, "Actually, it's not just her. If you tell the story, we won't be brothers in the future."

Regulus looked back at him, and Sirius paused and said: "The matter has developed to this point, I am already very sorry for another person, this is something I have to face, so even if you don't like to hear it, I will I'm going to 'blackmail' you like this."

Regulus didn't respond to him until the end, and left directly.But Sirius also knew that if he didn't refute, he agreed to a large extent.He returned to the dormitory exhausted, lay on the bed, drew the curtains, and meditated alone.

He didn't think that what happened tonight was all his fault. He always felt that the bigger fault was Snape. If he hadn't had bad intentions, how could he have taken the bait?

He was indeed the one who made the plan, and he was the one who told Snape how to deal with the Whomping Willow, but the choice to walk into the trap was Snape's own choice, as James said, no one forced him to follow them, didn't he? ?

He was so upset not because Snape almost died, but because he finally realized how unfair the plan was to Lupine.There were two more people in Hogwarts who knew Lupine's identity, and one of them was a girl he liked. He couldn't imagine how painful it would be for Lupine to wake up.

Thinking of this, Sirius turned over and thumped the bed angrily.

Helena had been waiting in the common room for Regulus to come back.

He came back a little too late, and she was very tired as soon as she relaxed after being frightened, and she fell asleep after waiting.

When Regulus came back, he saw her nestled on the sofa and fell asleep with her head tilted. Her long red hair was hanging around her body, and a few strands hung messily on her lips. There was a fragrant and steady breath between her slightly parted lips and teeth.

Regulus slipped his Adam's apple, walked over slowly, raised his hand to carefully brush the disturbing strands of hair between her lips.

But in an instant, Helena woke up.

She slowly opened her eyes, her vision gradually became clearer, her breath was filled with the familiar smell of Regulus, she instantly felt relieved, breathed calmly, and threw herself into his arms in a relaxed manner.

"Tonight..." She wanted to say something, but someone pressed her lips.

Regulus pressed his fingers on her soft lips, he lowered his head, looked at her very closely, and said softly, "Don't tell me."

Helena hesitated, and Regulus said directly: "It's something that needs to be kept secret, you promised Dumbledore not to say anything, didn't you?"

Helena pursed her lips and nodded.

"Then you are still willing to tell me?" His gray eyes fixed on her, "Are you not afraid that I will reveal the secret, or that you will not be responsible to the person who is in the secret?"

Helena lowered her head and said, "Yes. Not afraid. Worried."

She simply answered his three questions, and remained silent after answering.

Regulus stroked her long hair lightly, and the fingers that had pressed her lips just now landed on the side of her ear, stroking her soft earlobes with some gentle force, his deep and magnetic voice Comforting her softly in her ear: "This is enough, you don't need to tell me the rest, you just need to promise me that you will never put yourself in danger again, can you do it?"

He held her chin and asked her to look up at him.

Helena blinked and said, "What will you do if I can't?"

Regulus looked at her for a while, then sighed, "What can I do." He said helplessly, "Of course I can only do my best to protect you."

Helena smiled, all the accidents and adventures she encountered tonight were forgotten by her, and she clung to him recklessly and refused to get off.

Regulus was sweating slightly from her quarrel, and many thoughts came out of his mind. Before his rational defense was on the verge of collapse, he carried Helena horizontally, put her at the entrance of the girls' dormitory, and drove her back to sleep.

Helena turned her head three times a step, and she didn't want to just go back like this. Regulus looked at her motionless. She endured and endured, and couldn't help it anymore. He whispered in his arms: "I don't want to go back to the dormitory." Her red hair broke into his gray eyes, and he heard her whisper in his arms, "Let me go to your dormitory, okay?"

Regulus took a breath, slowly pushed her away, looked down at her and said, "I'm not the only one in my dormitory, and the boys' dormitory is not a place for girls."

Helena showed regret on her face. This is the most annoying place. She couldn't find a place where she could be alone safely.

Regulus admired the regret on her face, and suddenly said: "But if there are no accidents, I will be the prefect in the fifth grade."

Helena looked at him puzzled, quietly waiting for him to solve the confusion for herself.

Regulus raised his hand, stroked her cheek lightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "...prefects have their own dormitories."

Helena was stunned for a moment and then understood his hint. She blushed instantly, and now she ran away on her own initiative without him urging her, and she didn't even have the nerve to turn her head.

Regulus stood there watching her fleeing back, and laughed a few times.

After her back completely disappeared, his laughter stopped abruptly, he turned around and walked towards the boys' dormitory expressionlessly.

There were some things that Helena didn't need to break her promise to tell him, nor did Sirius need to be merciful and hint at him.

He can find out for himself.

It's not difficult.

Back in the dormitory, went into the bathroom to wash, Regulus stood in front of the mirror and smiled slightly at the mirror.
