[HP] His little devil

Helena returned to the dormitory very late, and when she returned, Evelyn and Maggie were both asleep. She walked towards her bed lightly, and looked at Ceci Parkinson's bed as if she suddenly remembered something before going to bed. The curtain was drawn on the bed, and there was no movement in it, and it was not known whether she was in it or not.

I hope she can really do nothing as Regulus said.

When he thought of Regulus, he seemed to be able to think of his flickering face in the dark, as if he could still feel his scent permeating his nostrils.Helena blushed, quickly took off her clothes and got under the quilt, and only after she lay down did she realize that she hadn't taken a shower yet.

Burying her face into the pillow, it seemed that the breath of the opposite sex could not be dissipated. Helena struggled for a while and decided not to take a bath.

She wanted to sleep like this, because it made her feel... as if Regulus was holding her to sleep.

Nothing happened after that until Christmas.

Except that occasionally someone would point fingers at her, saying that she was obsessed with Regulus and was willing to be his plaything, but there was nothing unacceptable.

Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I have to mention, Helena will always run into hijackers for no reason, and the four haunt her in various places and at various times, and Lupine is always at the end. , always ahead of Sirius Black and James Potter.

She calculated it carefully, and there are reliable statistics to prove that she has encountered these guys more times than Lily Evans recently.

It was weird, but they acted like they had just met by chance, so she couldn't catch it.

In order to avoid disturbing her peaceful life, Helena decided to give up the company of Evelyn and Maggie, who are easy to be tricked, and spend most of the time with Snape, the robber's deadly enemy. A little restrained.

Of course, only hanging out with Snape was when Regulus wasn't around, and of course she was with him when he was around.

Regulus doesn't know what he's been up to lately. It may be that he doesn't want to be with her all the time so that others will look down on her and cause her to suffer more criticism, so he has been very restrained recently and will not distance himself from her. They were too close, and the extreme intimacy in the secret passage that day seemed to be just Helena's hallucination.

Helena is a girl, shouldn't expect these things, that's too proactive, but...

Looking sideways at Regulus' alienated and indifferent face, and the distance between the two of them was almost a person, Helena's teeth itch.She tried to shake Regulus' hand, but if there were people nearby, or in any public place, Regulus would avoid it without a trace.If it wasn't for his soft words to comfort her in private, she would have lost her face long ago.

She doesn't care about those gossips as a girl, why should he care so much?

And after he kept his distance from her, those rumors became even worse. In the beginning, she had the "honor" of being a plaything, but now she has directly become an "abandoned wife".

The days passed day by day, and soon Christmas would come. Of course Regulus had to go home, and Helena filled out the application for staying in school.

"Is there any problem?" In the abandoned classroom, Helena tugged on Regulus's sleeve reluctantly, "Will Mrs. Black ask you to find another girl to get engaged after you go back?"

It was really guessed by Helena. If he didn't give his mother a satisfactory answer when he returned home from the Christmas holiday, then he really wanted to find another opposite-sex engagement that satisfied his parents and family.

Of course Regulus would not tell the truth to Helena, he raised his hand and caressed the top of her hair, and said softly: "No." He lowered his head close to her ear, "I will never talk to anyone again. Getting engaged, even if we don't get married any time soon, and put our relationship on the table, I'm not going to have any more affairs with anyone else."

Helena lowered her head and murmured: "Do you think I'm a bit self-inflicted? I really want to be with you and want to possess you openly, but because of some things I'm hesitant, or even stop..."

Regulus took her into his arms, stared at the door of the abandoned classroom and said, "No. Maybe I didn't understand it at first, but I can understand you more and more."

"Why?" Helena asked.

Regulus didn't answer with words, but he answered in his heart.

He knows better than anyone that his mindset is changing.He could feel the restless factor in his bones and blood that was more and more likely to boil.He realized that extremes that he hadn't noticed before were changing him and even controlling him, and he could understand Helena's words more and more.When he himself gradually became out of control, the sense of powerlessness made him more able to imagine the nature of that adult and the benefits he could bring.

He hasn't officially known him yet, but he knows that he will inevitably need to know him in the future, and even surrender to him.

He can't have the slightest hope of persuading his parents to accept broad ideas. Some things are deeply rooted. He understands his parents like he understands himself. Not naive enough to confess everything.

Then something needs to be done secretly.

He thought a lot, Death Eaters, Order of the Phoenix, pure blood, half blood, even Muggles, everything slowly formed a line in his heart, he slowly retracted his gaze from the door of the abandoned classroom, and looked at it intently. The girl in his arms has bright and stunning red hair.

He told himself that seeing Dumbledore at the right time wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

His elder brother chose to rebel against the family in the most direct but stupid way, but he couldn't and wouldn't.

He wants to use a smarter and more effective method...

Christmas is coming, Regulus stepped on the train leaving Hogwarts, Evelyn and Maggie also went home, even Snape went home, the whole Slytherin except for Helena is only one or two There are two students staying in school, one senior and one junior, and Helena doesn't match up well.

Helena is a bit lonely, but bearable, spending most of her time in her bedroom doing homework for the Christmas holidays, and rarely going out unless absolutely necessary.And the time to go out is nothing more than eating and Christmas dinner.

Hogwarts will hold a Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve, and the headmaster and professors will spend the most important festival of the year with the students who stay at the school.

This isn't the first time Helena has attended a school Christmas dinner, and since she's the only one left in the house, she won't be home until Christmas.She didn't want to go back to that big, empty manor. Losing her parents' manor would always scare her.Coupled with the dislike expressed by her mother towards her association with Regulus during the summer vacation, the somewhat ostrich-minded Helena didn't want to go home even more.

Probably the biggest highlight of this year's Christmas dinner is that the four members of the Gryffindor Hijackers have all applied to stay in school.

Because there are not many students staying in the school, the professors organize everyone to sit together directly, and there is no need to separate schools.

This also gave Helena the first opportunity to sit side by side with the hijackers since she entered school.

On her left is James Potter, and on her right is Regulus' brother.

Compared to Potter, Helena felt more comfortable getting along with Regulus' brother.

"Mr. Black won't be home this Christmas?" In the extremely awkward silence, Helena had to speak first.

Sirius Black looked at her indifferently: "Don't you think the question you asked is stupid? Of course I didn't go home, otherwise the person sitting next to you would be a ghost."

Helena said calmly, "I know, but I'm not asking because I didn't see it. I'm just trying to find a topic so that the atmosphere here won't be so awkward."

Sirius withdrew his gaze and looked forward: "Then you can find a topic to talk to someone, it doesn't have to be me, you know I won't give you any good looks."

"I know, Mr. Black seldom treats anyone well." Helena nodded and said, "But the people here have nothing to talk about except you and me, don't you think?"

Even being able to talk to him was only because he was Regulus' older brother.

Sirius Black is so smart, of course he heard her impromptu words, his eyes fell over Helena and landed on Potter, Potter received this sight and turned to look at Lupine next to him, Lupin was expressionless Sitting there, without moving the Christmas dinner in front of him, the invisible house elf was almost drowning in tears.

"Actually we have something to tell you, Bird." It was James Potter who finally spoke, but was interrupted by Sirius.

"It's you who have something to say to her, don't include me, I have always firmly believed that those words should not be said." He emphasized.

James said dryly: "Well, it's the three of us..."

"You two," Lupine said suddenly, looking like Sirius.

Helena felt even more embarrassed when she heard him speak for the first time, and goose bumps appeared on her arms.

James took a deep breath and changed his tone again: "Well, it's the two of us..."

"...You alone." Peter Pedilou said weakly.

James was furious, and said nonchalantly, "I'm the only one, what's the big deal?" He glared at Helena, "Do you know how you are passed on in school? You were played by Sirius' brother , he doesn't really want to be with you at all, and he doesn't even intend to disclose your relationship in front of everyone."

Helena felt that it was very meaningless: "Just play around, people can say whatever they like, it's my business, why bother Mr. Potter?"

"You think I'm willing to worry about you?" Potter said viciously, "I'd love to see you suffer and learn a lesson! But..." He glanced at Lupine quickly, "You can have better choices, you can There is a good relationship, and a brighter and more legitimate future..."

Helena numbly interrupted him: "If you're implying that I've changed my relationship, then I can only say sorry to you." She stood up, took some food quickly, and said while turning around, " This is the person I choose, the path I choose, and I am willing no matter how much I fall in the future. What's more, I don't think I made a wrong choice, and I don't need to explain the inside story to an unimportant person like you , of course I still want to thank you for your concern, but that's all I can do, sorry to make way for Mr. Black, I have to go."

Sirius stepped aside kindly and gave James a "I'll just say it" look.Helena ignored their eye contact and quickly left the auditorium.James, fuming with rage, picked up a fork and tortured the food.Dumbledore looked thoughtfully at the students who caused a lot of noise, and his blue eyes gradually turned to Helena who was leaving.

At the same time, at No. 12 Grimmauld Place, after the Christmas dinner, some people in the gloomy mansion were not in a good atmosphere.

Walburga looked at his most proud son from above, and said in a cold and dissatisfied tone: "So you are going to violate my arrangement again, Regulus?" She narrowed her beautiful and cold gray eyes, "You failed to bring Helena Bird back, and you don't accept me to arrange any marriage partner for you. Are you going to follow your brother and make me completely disappointed in the future of the Black family?" She said in an almost Said in a vicious tone, "May I assume that all your changes came from Helena Byrd? You forgot who you were as a girl and started following your brother, believe it or not in order to pull you back in time to the right On the road, I will use whatever means to deal with that young girl?"

Regulus stood in front of his mother, and said in a humble and gentle tone: "You misunderstood, Mom."

Walburga's attitude eased a little from her son's attitude. At least he didn't refute herself as harshly as Sirius. She frowned and said, "You said I misunderstood. Could it be that you have a better explanation?"

Regulus lowered his head slightly, and his attitude was always respectful and sincere. After his mother gave him a chance to explain, he calmly said: "Of course." After saying this word, he raised his head and met his mother's eyes, calmly Reasonable, "I have a better explanation, and I think you will support me."

Walburga looked at him unexpectedly and hesitated, "What do you want to say?"

Regulus smiled, and Kreacher hid in the dark, seeing that the tension between the hostess and the young master gradually dissipated, and he was also greatly relieved.
