[HP] His little devil

On the night of Valentine's Day, Helena and Snape practiced potions for a while in the abandoned classroom. As the fifth grade OWLs exam approached, Snape could give her less and less time to guide her, but he still squeezed in some time to help her , because they are friends.

From Snape's point of view, today is only February [-]th, an ordinary study day, what is Valentine's Day, can it be eaten?

In Helena's view, Valentine's Day without a lover can only be regarded as a study day, it is better to study hard than to think wildly.

With such a mentality, the two separated before the curfew without any pressure. Helena returned to the dormitory and saw Maggie and Evelyn with expectant expressions.

"Did you go on a date with Blake?" Evelyn said excitedly, "I knew you would get back together. I knew it was possible when he came over and asked me if you had an appointment tonight. He still love you!"

Helena froze, and quickly asked: "Has he come to you?"

Evelyn nodded and said, "Yes, in the common room, Blake stopped me and asked me if you had a date tonight, and of course I told him you didn't have a date, and I told him that if he did, Me and Margie won't be light bulbs getting in your way, we'll go on our date!"

Helena's face became ugly, Maggie leaned over and said, "Yes, Evelyn is right, I was there at the time, and I heard Blake answer her." She smiled and said, "He gave Evelyn answered in the affirmative! He said he would ask you out!"

Helena's shoulders slumped, and she said awkwardly: "But I didn't see him, and even if I saw him, I wouldn't agree to date him. I said we broke up, and we really broke up..."

"You didn't see him?" Evelyn was surprised, "But when Maggie and I came back, we ran into his roommate, Mulciber, and I asked him if Blake was in the dormitory, and he ran back to take a look, and said no." .”

Helena suddenly felt a chill on her back, she stood up abruptly and said, "Maybe he didn't go back to the dormitory because he had other things to do. Anyway, he didn't come to look for me, and I didn't see him either."

Evelyn and Maggie looked at each other, their expressions gradually becoming similar to those of Helena.

Ceci Parkinson returned to the dormitory at this time. Since the conflict with Regulus broke out, she has become very silent, and her sense of existence is extremely weak. If she didn't pay special attention, many people would even ignore her existence directly.

Helena noticed that she was looking directly at her when she came back, and she stared at her for a moment, as if trying to decide if she was real or not.

Later, she probably had a decision, and turned around and ran out of the dormitory.

Helena pursed her lips, always feeling that her behavior was unusual.

In fact, this is really unusual.

After running out of the girls' dormitory, Parkinson found an abandoned classroom at the risk of being discovered by Filch.

She stood at the back door of the classroom and said in a low voice: "She has already returned to the dormitory."

It was dark in the abandoned classroom, and there was a tall figure standing inside, wearing Slytherin school robes, with his back to the door, and after hearing her words, he said softly: "I see, thank you for your help, Parkinson Miss."

"It's my honor to help you." Parkinson said with a white face.

The shadow in the darkness didn't even move, and casually gave her instructions: "In the future, please ask Miss Parkinson to continue to take care of her for me, and report to me all her movements at any time."

Parkinson bent down: "I will, I will write to you about all her movements."

"That's really great." The man said with emotion, "This really helped me a lot."

Parkinson trembled and said, "It's good if I can help you, then I..."

"You can go." The man turned around slowly, and took a few steps towards the back door of the classroom. With the faint light, Parkinson saw Regulus' pale and melancholy face, "Good night, you will do well Dream, Miss Parkinson."

Parkinson let out a long breath, finally relaxed a little at this moment, she bowed respectfully towards Regulus again, and then turned to leave.

After Parkinson left, Regulus turned around and returned to the abandoned classroom. He pulled out his wand and cast a Restoration Charm on a table, and the crucible and potion ingredients that had appeared on the table appeared again.

He casually picked up the potion ingredients on the table, because he didn't wear dragon leather gloves, his slender white hands were corroded by the potion ingredients, and the pain was very strong, but he didn't seem to feel it, and kept holding it like that.

Soon after that came the day of the Quidditch match, the day of the Slytherin House match, and Helena came to watch the match, sitting between Marge and Evelyn, with Snape behind her.

Regulus was riding a broom in the sky, for a moment he seemed to be looking towards her, but he didn't seem to.

Snape's feeling was a little more obvious than Helena's. He had a keen sense of danger. He squinted at Regulus flying in the air, who played with the Hufflepuff players on the clapping, After discovering the golden snitch, he grabbed the public's attention with many dazzling flying skills.Snape kept his eyes fixed on him, and then he realized that Regulus was intentionally or unconsciously leading the Bludger to his position.

His position was close to Helena, she was right in front of him, Regulus flew over his head on a broom, and the Bludger also flew in front of him, Regulus' black hair was disheveled and pale in the rushing wind. There was undisguised malice in the gray eyes that belonged to the Blacks on his face.

Snape frowned, stood up and wanted to leave, at this moment, the Bludger came chasing Regulus again, Helena's position was close to Snape, when he flew over last time she Realizing that the situation was wrong, she fixed her emerald green eyes on the speeding Bludger, exclaimed "be careful", and pulled Snape past him, almost lying on top of her, and would Dodged the incoming Bludgers.

Regulus, who had already flown over, looked back, and saw Snape lying on top of Helena, the distance was so close that it surpassed them.

Regulus slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and under the eyes of everyone, he easily caught the Snitch, completely ending the match.

"What were you doing just now?" Mulcibor flew up to him. "You flew the Bludger with you across the Slytherin stands and nearly chopped off Snape's head."

Regulus rode on the broom and said indifferently: "He's still standing there, he didn't have his head chopped off by the ball, didn't he?"

Mulciber wanted to say something, but looked at his expression and gave up.

Dumbledore looked at the two young men in the uniforms of the Slytherin house team from a distance, and turned his eyes to Slytherin head Slughorn who won the game and smiled gently.

On the night of the match, Helena stopped Regulus in the cellar corridor.

"Let's find a place to chat." She looked at the classmate who was walking not far away, and quickly distanced herself from him, as if she didn't want to be seen that they were still in touch and could talk.

Regulus measured the distance between them, and said calmly, "If you're blaming me for Mr. Snape's almost getting hurt, then we don't need to talk." His eyes fell on her, as if With a weight of a thousand catties, Helena was a little out of breath.

"I don't want to accuse you, I just think you don't need to do that at all." Helena frowned, "You have other ways to avoid the Bludger, and you shouldn't lead it to the auditorium of your own academy."

Regulus said directly: "I have no other way." He said indifferently, "You think too much of me, Helena. I have no other way, I can only dodge like this. Snape, would you rather have me hurt?"

Helena wanted to say something, but was preempted by Regulus.

"If so, then as you wish."

After he said this, he turned around and left. Helena chased after a few steps, but was blocked by an approaching classmate.

At that time, she felt that Regulus was just saying angry words, just joking, she didn't take it seriously, and he wouldn't take it seriously either.

But when the Quidditch match started in March and Regulus was hit by a Bludger and fell off his broom, Helena knew he was serious.

and……

He did it on purpose.

He could dodge the Bludger, even someone like her who didn't know much about Quidditch could tell.

But he didn't dodge, he seemed to be stunned on the broom for a moment, and he didn't know where he was distracted, and he was knocked off just like that.

The entire Slytherin stand exploded, and Slughorn left the game directly to check on Regulus' injuries. The young master of the Black family fell to the ground, and it seemed that he had fallen badly, which was not a trivial matter.

Helena sat firmly on the stand, her hands under the school gown clenched tightly into fists.

Regulus entered the medical wing, and lost to Gryffindor that day because of his sudden injury.

This was the first time he lost a match since he joined the Slytherin Quidditch House team in the second year. He lay on the hospital bed in the hospital wing, read the letter from his mother, read the disappointment in his mother's words, and laughed at himself smiled.

He put the letter aside and tried to move his broken arm. The pain made him more conscious and made Madam Pomfrey very angry.

"Don't move around, Mr. Black." Madam Pomfrey walked over and said with a frown, "You just drank the bone potion, now you should rest well, and don't try to move your arm unless you want that arm It won't be cured for a lifetime."

Regulus said politely, "I see, Madam Pomfrey, I'm sorry."

The gentle and serious female school doctor sighed and shook her head, and left while complaining about the dangers of the Quidditch match.

After she left, Regulus lowered his head, looked at his injured arm, and moved it again.

"Madame Pomfrey said you can't move your arms." The familiar voice sounded, and Regulus looked over in surprise.

"Didn't expect me to come?" Sirius Black walked over slowly with his hands in his pockets. He stood beside the hospital bed, keenly caught the envelope on the bedside table, and said with a little sarcasm, "You lost the game. You must have been scolded miserably by her, even if you are her proud son."

Regulus said indifferently: "If she can calm down, I don't mind being scolded by her."

Sirius looked at him: "Just because she is your mother?"

"Yes, because she is my mother, even if she has such bad things, as long as she still has this identity, it is enough for me to be grateful and accommodate her."

Regulus spoke without hesitation or pause, obviously what he had in mind.

Sirius looked at him with complicated eyes: "Then do you have hatred for me who disobeyed her several times, made her angry, and was even cursed by her? Because I disobeyed your dear mother."

Regulus looked at it and shook his head: "I won't, why would I do that?" He said very flatly, "That's your mother too, you are her son, it's your freedom to choose how to treat her, if you As an outsider, I might hate you for it, but you and I have the same status, so I have no need or reason to hate you."

When he said that, Sirius had nothing to say. In the end, he could only say in a reluctant tone: "Why are you so stupid in the competition? The way you fell was so deliberate that even James thought there was something wrong with you. You're letting him know that it's not a good thing to win this match."

Regulus smiled and said, "Did you come to the medical wing to seek an explanation for your brother?"

Sirius was silent for a while, looked at him and said, "No."

Regulus's smile froze, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Sirius said lightly, "I came to the medical wing because I saw you fall off the broom." He said without emotion, "You are my brother too."

Regulus was silent for a while and whispered, "Thank you for remembering this."

"I'll never forget that," Sirius emphasized, "even with all the differences we have."

Regulus looked at him, and the two of them looked at each other with identical gray eyes, not noticing the long red hair in the distance.

Helena hid in the corner of the medical wing, looking at Regulus with his arms and chest wrapped, and at Sirius Black who was visiting her younger brother, wishing that she was the one standing by the bed.

But she also knew it couldn't.

All he was doing now was so that she could return to him by herself, he provoked Snape, deliberately hurt himself, he did so many things, but he hoped that Helena would turn back.

But she can't, the more he is like this, the more she can't turn back.

She also wanted to be with him, but she never thought that she would harm him.

Look now, how many things he has done because of her that he didn't bother to do before, he has become less and less like him, and she has become less and less like himself, this is all the trouble she caused them to each other .

She can't go to see him, if she goes, she will lose, if she goes, everything will fall short.

She's going to stick to it.

She didn't want to be the greedy, selfish, demanding self anymore, she didn't want to be entangled in impulsiveness and willfulness, and she didn't want to bring any dangerous and wrong changes to Regulus.

She was going to let him go and let him live the rest of his life as simple, relaxed and happy as before.

She wants to take all his troubles and risks away, and that's the way to truly love him.

She could only stand here and look at him from afar, then...turn around and leave.

Helena looked back reluctantly, gritted her teeth and left the medical wing.
