[HP] His little devil

Helena hadn't drafted anything in her mind, and wasn't sure what to say to Lupine.

She wanted to say a few words for Snape, but seeing Lupine's miserable appearance, she was a little bit speechless.

In fact, both he and Snape were the poorest victims. Snape and the culprit were enemies. After being injured, he could justifiably be angry and hate, but Lupine was different.

Those were his friends, people who knew he was a werewolf and were still willing to be friends with him, how could he hate them?

He can only forgive openly and continue to be the good friend who tolerates all their shortcomings.

But can he really be free from pain and entanglement in his heart?It must be difficult.

If he could, he wouldn't be what he is now.

Helena thought for a long time before speaking to break the silence between the two.

She turned her eyes away from meeting Lupine's eyes, and she always felt weird meeting those brown eyes.

"Mr. Lupine, what a coincidence." Helena smirked, "But we should all know that this is not a coincidence."

Lupine was quiet for a while, then said in a low voice: "Well. After knowing my secret, you still appear here, you must be consciously waiting for me."

Helena praised him honestly: "You are very smart."

"Thank you." He was worthy of Helena's compliment, "Is it James or Sirius?"

He actually guessed directly why she appeared here.

Helena hesitated for a moment and said, "All of them."

Lu Ping frowned slowly. He looked at her with indescribably complicated eyes, and said after a long time, "Then you know everything?"

Helena thought that what he said was the secret of his identity, and she was still wondering why he had to ask again. Isn't it obvious that she already knew it?

She said frankly: "Yes, I know everything."

Lupine's reaction was a little strange. He seemed to have been greatly shocked, and he stopped looking at her, and even took a few steps back.

He looked so haggard and shambling, and Helena was worried that he would just fall, so she took a step forward, thinking that if he did fall she could help with a Levitation Charm to keep him from falling too hard. It hurt, but Lupine might have misunderstood her actions.

"Helena." He suddenly called her by her Christian name, causing Helena to freeze there.

"I'm sorry." He looked at her, his eyes were bloodshot, "I'm really sorry."

Helena was at a loss by his appearance: "Why do you apologize?"

Lupine laughed at himself and said, "Shouldn't I apologize to you? I have caused trouble to you. Are you here today to reject me, or to curse me for being incompetent, or to laugh at me as a lunatic?"

Helena was confused, and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean? Why did I do that?"

"If it's not like this, what else can we do?" Lupine turned his head and looked at a vast expanse of white snow, his hands in his school robe clenched into fists, he pursed his lips and said, "You like Regulus Black , I always knew that I never expected anything, I didn't even want to let you know my feelings for you, I'm sorry to let you know all this from someone else now, but you really don't have to be bothered by it, I won't Any unrealistic delusions."

"Wait." Helena had to understand, "You like me?" She opened her eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief.

Lu Ping looked at her belatedly, and said in a daze, "You don't know?"

"Should I know?" Helena wondered, "No one told me this! How could I know? If I knew..." If she knew, she would never have promised Sirius Black to meet Lupine!

She thought he just wanted her to show that he didn't mind Lupine's status as a werewolf, so that Lupine would not feel so guilty and afraid!

No wonder... no wonder why Potter came first and then Sirius. They came to find Snape instead of her. It turned out that it wasn't because Snape was their enemy, it turned out that it was all because of...

Merlin.

It's all about.

Helena suddenly thought of the perfume that Lupine had forced her to accept on her birthday.

Jasmine...

Jasmine...

The memory went backwards quickly, it was an afternoon not long after school started, she was still young at that time, but she had just entered school, and everything about Hogwarts was new to her.

Although as a Slytherin, she doesn't have excessive adventurous spirit, but she also wants to know the secrets of this castle.

Before curfew, she wandered around the castle with nothing to do, and unknowingly detoured into Professor Sprout's greenhouse.Outside the transparent glass of the greenhouse, she saw the magic jasmine cultivated by the professor. Its flowering period is much longer than ordinary jasmine, and the petals can be used to make some daily potions. She lay in front of the glass and looked at it for a long time. Lupine.

Lupine then was not the same as Lupine is now.As a second-year senior, Helena who just entered the school is not as comfortable as she is now. She has heard of the name of the hijacker since she entered school, and she doesn't mind that he is one of them, and he is still a year older than herself. Grade, which made her worry that she would suffer or even be hurt if she faced him alone.

She was too scared, so she explained incoherently to an irrelevant person: "It's not yet curfew time, I just came out to familiarize myself with the location of each classroom, you may not know, I am a freshman this year... I don't want to be here I stayed for too long, I just saw the Jasmine I like, so..."

The memory came to an abrupt end in Lupine's gentle, deliberate smile.

The him at that time and the him now overlapped in front of Helena's eyes. She clenched her wand tightly, unable to utter a word, turned around and ran away.

Lupine did not catch up.

He stopped there, and Potter emerged from the invisibility cloak, and said bitterly: "Damn it! Remus, you are so stupid. I used to think that you understood the relationship between men and women better than me. You could always give me and Evans has some good advice, but how did you let Bird go when it came to your own business?"

Lupine turned his head with a pale face, and didn't mind Potter's sudden appearance. He just asked him, "If I don't let her go, what else can I do?"

Potter said anxiously: "Of course it is to stop her! Continue to express your feelings to her, and tell her that you will pursue her and compete fairly with Sirius' brother!"

Lupine smiled palely and said, "Fair competition? Since I was five years old, the word fair has never appeared in my life."

Potter fell silent at his words, and finally he stepped forward, put his arm around Lupine's shoulders, and pulled him together into the Invisibility Cloak.

At the end, Lupine heard Potter whisper, "I'm sorry Remus, I'm really sorry."

October 22nd was Regulus' birthday, and Helena was a few months older than Regulus.

On Helena's birthday, Regulus stayed with her all the time, and the two spent a wonderful day at Mrs. Padiff's teahouse.When it was Regulus' birthday, Helena certainly hoped to be with him.But what happened to Lupine made her feel very terrified, and she was restless for several days. When Regulus' birthday came, she still hadn't figured out how they would spend it.

And she seemed a little too narcissistic, thinking for sure that Regulus would abandon the other classmates and run out to spend the day with her.This is actually wrong, she is the heir of a down and out family and doesn't need to socialize, it doesn't mean that Regulus is too.He still needs to socialize, and she knows that many people are planning birthday surprises for him, including Parkinson.

Ever since the ambiguous relationship between Helena and Regulus became more and more widespread, Parkinson always thought of how to make a surprise move, and let the rumored heroine be replaced by himself.As long as the opponent is not Lestrange, she is relatively confident. She always feels that no matter how bad she is, at least her surname is worth more than Helena.And so far, no matter how hot and true the rumors were, Regulus, the person concerned, has not come out to confirm his relationship with Helena. This is the reason why Parkinson is still unwilling to give up.

As long as she is not sure and no one can get a definite answer from him, she feels that she still has a chance.

When Regulus' birthday was approaching, Parkinson dressed up gorgeously every day. Even when she was wearing uniform school robes, she had spent a lot of thought embellishing the corners of the school robes to make herself look more charming.

She used Gold Gallon to bribe two boys to help her keep an eye on Regulus to see where he would pass, and then deliberately appeared there, showing him the cute smile she had practiced dozens of times in front of the magic pier mirror.

She can be said to have exhausted all her skills, but sadly received no response.

It was soon Regulus' birthday. After class in the morning, Parkinson embraced Regulus again. He stood at the door of the classroom, looking at her with gray eyes, as if he was watching some funny show.

Parkinson's cheeks were flushed, and she wanted to say something unwillingly. Helena just finished packing her things and walked out of the classroom. She saw Parkinson in an embarrassing situation at first sight. Going to let her go like this.

"Regulus, have you heard the recent rumors in school?" Parkinson suddenly said loudly, "Everyone says that you are in a relationship with Bird, and that you will get married as soon as you graduate. Is this true? ?”

Helena stopped walking and looked at Parkinson quietly.She understood her intentions, and she deliberately asked questions that everyone was embarrassed or afraid to ask Regulus, so that everyone could listen, even if Regulus admitted, she would not be more embarrassing than now, But if Regulus denied it, then Helena would be more embarrassed than her.

Obviously, the two of them have nothing to do with each other. It might be troublesome for Regulus not to come out to clarify, but if Helena's identity doesn't come out, it will make people think that she is trying to take advantage. At that time, everyone's opinion of her will be compared to Parkinson's. The perception is bigger and worse.

This is a lucrative business, as long as she is brave enough to really ask, she is not afraid of offending the person involved.

Parkinson was actually scared. She obviously felt that the aura around Regulus had changed after she asked this question, but she couldn't take back the water that was spilled when she said it. She could only use all her strength. Supporting himself not to fall down with strength, he stared wide-eyed and waited for the answer.

Helena stood behind Regulus, trying to help him out. It was the end of get out of class time, there were too many people nearby, and this class was taught by Gryffindor. If he was forced to answer, no matter the answer Whatever it is, it will spread throughout Hogwarts in minutes.

Regulus turned his back to Helena, there was a distance between the two of them, and he probably didn't know she was here. When the two separated just now, he said that he had to leave first, and Helena also said that she would Going to the auditorium for dinner with friends, he probably thought she had already left, so he didn't expect her to come forward to rescue him.He thought for a moment, and then he spoke.

He didn't answer the question directly, but said: "This is none of your business, Miss Parkinson." His tone was obviously as calm and polite as usual, but it made people's skin crawl.

"Instead of paying too much attention to gossip, it's better to worry about your grades." Regulus said lightly, intending to end the topic and walk away, but Parkinson paid a very high price to put him here Yes, without an answer, it is impossible for her to give up.

She went all out, stopped Regulus who was about to leave, and said directly: "Do you want to just fool around like this? What is your reason for doing this? Is it a disguised admission that you are really in love with Helena Byrd? If you If you don't answer directly or continue to change the subject, then I will take it as your default."

Regulus quietly looked at her slender arm lying in front of him, that arm was so fragile that it could be severely broken with just a single spell from him.Holding his wand, he slowly curled the corner of his mouth.

"Do I have to answer you?" Regulus didn't even give Parkinson the most basic face, "Who are you, and what qualifications do you have for me to answer your questions? Where do you come from?" , think that if I don't answer, I will acquiesce?"

Now is not the time to acquiesce in all this. When the time is right, he will give Helena a legitimate and enviable explanation, but it is definitely not now.Since Helena has her ideas and requirements, he must respect her feelings and re-pave the future for her, all of which will take time.

Parkinson didn't know what Regulus was thinking. She seemed to have caught the loophole in Regulus's words, and said in a fuss, "Oh...you said my logic is wrong? You said you didn't answer no Does that mean you are acquiescing? That is to say—you are not acquiescing, you are not in love with Helena Byrd."

Regulus frowned at Parkinson, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He swept away the wide sleeves of the school robe, revealing his hand holding the wand, and said lightly, "If you keep talking to yourself, I won't be polite." He showed a distressed expression, "I never thought that one day I would Doing it with my classmates, or classmates from the same college. But I believe that as long as I understand the ins and outs, no matter whether it is the dean, the principal, or even Mr. Parkinson, they will understand me."

Ceci Parkinson finally knew what she had messed up, she turned around and ran, Regulus smiled politely at everyone, and then quickly followed without looking back.

Helena stopped where she was, and looked at Regulus' back through a few people. He and Parkinson quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor. Although she would not be there in person, it did not prevent her from thinking that Parkinson would How to be dealt with by Regulus.

She actually doesn't care much about that now, she thinks it's herself who is more troublesome.

Everyone discovered her existence after the farce ended, and they all had a little bit of the same idea as Parkinson.

Since Regulus made such a rebuttal, it probably means that he did not really fall in love with Helena Byrd.Maybe they were having an affair, but maybe he was just playing around?

Helena Potter looks really good, with red hair and blue eyes, not inferior to Lily Evans, the flower of Gryffindor.With such an appearance, it is nothing new for the children of their noble families to come and go casually during their studies.

For a moment, everyone looked at Helena with contempt. Helena felt that in the eyes of most people, she became Regulus' plaything to pass the time, although she told herself over and over again that Regulus didn't mean it that way. , he wouldn't think that way, but he couldn't help everyone think that way.

She felt embarrassed and turned to leave, but the crowd surrounded her and she couldn't move an inch.

She raised her eyes to see a group of girls standing there whispering and laughing at her, there were a few familiar faces, she knew they had been trying to develop something with Regulus, maybe even to be his plaything, they It's also fun.

Helena was a little annoyed, she tilted her head, and was about to draw out her wand to say something harsh, when another person helped her out.

Rita Lestrange yawned and said, "The show is over, what are you still doing here?" She lazily said, "Aren't you hungry? I'm starving to death. Bird, come together Are you going to the auditorium for dinner?"

Of course Helena would not refuse, she agreed naturally and left with Lestrange.

This time, no one stopped her anymore, and everyone was well aware of Lestrange's tricks.

After walking for a while, Helena said lightly: "I have invited you to watch an interesting performance, so I won't thank you, and you probably don't need my thanks."

Rita smiled sweetly and said, "Oh sure, I don't need that, but I need something else."

Helena looked at her sideways, and the two stopped and looked at each other. Rita approached her excitedly and said, "Don't you want to see how Regulus handles Ceci Parkinson?"

Helena wanted to see it, but she didn't dare, and...Although the culprit of this farce was not Regulus, she was inexplicably angry with him, thinking that he didn't notice her standing behind , Just walking away like that, her teeth itch.

"Come with me." Rita didn't care what she was struggling with, she pulled her wrist and said, "This way, if I'm discovered, I can still use you as a shield! I'm really curious, so please take this as a It's my thank you for saving you!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Helena to answer, Rita dragged her to chase in the direction where Regulus and Parkinson disappeared.

Helena's red hair fluttered as she ran, and her thoughts drifted away with her.

Well, in fact, she was also very curious about what Regulus, who seemed extremely polite and gentle, would warn Parkinson.

She thought about several things, but none of them were as shocking as what she saw.
