Helena didn't know how to explain it to Regulus, she couldn't seem to explain it clearly.

She just stood there without saying a word, thinking that if he misunderstood, then he misunderstood, anyway, they will not have any relationship, let him think she is bad, so that he can give up earlier and stop wasting on her Time, there is no need to encounter trouble and danger.

Being with her is a bad thing. If you really like him, you should let him go. She shouldn't have provoked him in the first place.

Helena remained silent, which did not mean that Snape was interested in becoming an obstacle between them. He broke away from Helena's hand and said indifferently: "If Mr. Black is not blind, he should be able to tell that there is nothing between me and Helena. Spark, I was attacked by a group of idiots with mental retardation just now, and I'm really not in the mood to do it again, Mr. Black should be a little smarter than those mentally retarded."

Regulus didn't speak, just looked at them intently. The corridors of Hogwarts were extremely wide, obviously there was such a large space, but Helena felt that the air here was thin, and gradually she almost held her breath.

Snape glanced at her, resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and said, "You can stay here and enjoy the view for a while, but I'm going back, I've had enough of this place."

He lifted his feet and left, Helena immediately followed, muttering: "I want to go too, what scenery is there to see here, why are you so angry?"

Snape glanced at her quickly: "Is there no scenery to see here? Is it my eccentricity?" He pointed at Regulus very conspicuously. Regulus looked over slowly and heard him say something to Helen. Na said, "Isn't he the most beautiful scenery in your eyes?"

Helena blushed and said, "I think you've been so mad by the hijackers that you've started talking nonsense!"

Snape thought of Lily who ran away without looking back, she didn't even catch up to see if he was injured, and the seemingly relapsed Potter had more influence on her than he had been embarrassed and treated harshly.

Feeling annoyed at the thought of these, Snape had nothing to say, and left directly.Helena tried to follow, but was stopped.

"Miss Bird." Regulus called her in a very official tone. When Helena heard him call her like that, it was as if a group of ants had crawled up her back, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

She turned around in a hurry, forcing herself to look directly into the other person's eyes: "What's the matter? Mr. Black."

He calls her by her surname, and she calls him by his surname, whoever is afraid of whom.

Regulus stared at her for a long time, and didn't contact her for a while, he looked more attractive, he didn't see any youthful look on him anymore, he was like a mature adult, standing straight in front of her At that time, it seemed that it could shield her from all wind and rain.

Regulus took a few steps forward, getting closer to Helena. He looked down at the girl's emerald green eyes, delicate face, and the long red hair that had appeared in his dreams several times.

He was silent for a while before he said without emotion: "It's nothing." His tone of voice and eyes were very indifferent, "I just want to remind you that your velvet can't catch your hat, and it's about to fall off from it. "

Helena was taken aback when she heard the words, and quickly turned her head to pull the hood of the school robe, but because she was wearing it, it was very laborious to turn her head like this. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of something green and about to fall, as if she was pulling the school robe. The movement made it even more precarious, and she was anxious to save it but couldn't do it, she broke out in sweat after a while, and Regulus stayed out of it all the time, showing no intention of helping it at all.

Helena finally had to unbutton her school gown and take it off her body before snatching the pudding back into her hand.

"You really shouldn't be running around Leo, isn't it good to stay in your hair?" Helena couldn't help scolding it, the little hair ball gave her a pitiful look, and then obediently got into her hair inside.

Helena put on her school robe again, and glanced at Regulus who had no intention of helping her. She pursed her lips and said goodbye, wiping the sweat from her brow as she left. left behind.

Regulus asked her, "What do you call it?"

……Oops.

Leo's name comes from the constellation Leo.

Helena couldn't help but pinch herself, it's not good to call it by its name now, it has to be called now.

Turning her head, Helena said with a blank expression: "It's nothing, I just gave the pet a random name, this is my private matter, Mr. Black will not be interested."

Regulus smiled politely: "Yes, I'm not interested at all." He said casually, "Not at all."

This answer should have been expected and liked by Helena, but hearing it still made people feel sad.

Helena looked at him with wide eyes, and the soreness in her eyes made her realize that she was about to cry, so she nodded immediately and turned to run, but Regulus didn't seem to intend to say goodbye so simply.

"Is Miss Bird busy? What are you going to do? It's going to be a holiday soon, and I won't see you for a long time. What are your plans for the summer vacation?"

He spoke in a gentle tone, as if they were good classmates, but the truth was that they hadn't spoken for a long time.

He is talking to her at such a slow speed now, looking for topics to stop her from leaving, just because he wants to see her make a fool of herself or lose her composure.

Helena was very anxious, and she didn't care about politeness, she was about to run without saying a word, but was stopped by Regulus without a doubt.

"Miss Bird, what's the matter." He looked at her in surprise, "Your eyes are red, did something get in?" He grabbed her hand, his hand was so cold, icy cold, It made Helena tremble.

"Are you cold?" Regulus asked lightly, and dragged her to the corner of the corridor, which was less conspicuous.

"There won't be so much wind here, Miss Bird can be warmer." After a while, he said softly, "Also, if Miss Bird needs it, I can blow your eyes." He lowered his eyelids slightly, His eyes fell on her eyes, and Helena was looked at by him with that irresistible, free and indulgent eyes, and almost the whole body fell into a narrow trap.

"You look so uncomfortable, your eyes are red and bloodshot, and it seems that there are still tears flowing... You must be too uncomfortable, let me blow it for you."

Regulus lowered his head, as if to blow her eyes, but the distance was getting closer and closer, so close that Helena suspected that he was going to kiss her.

As soon as this idea popped up, Helena nervously pushed him away.

Regulus was directly pushed against the wall by her, hit the wall heavily, and groaned in pain.

Helena looked at him with wide eyes, and couldn't help asking with concern: "Are you okay?" After a little pause, she seemed to realize that she shouldn't care, and changed her tone dryly, "Sorry, I didn't push you on purpose, It's just that you are too close to me, which makes me uncomfortable." She held her breath, "If you are injured, I can send you to the medical wing, the school is not completely closed, Madam Pomfrey is still here .”

Helena spoke so coldly, as if she really treated him as an insignificant ordinary classmate. Regulus should have gotten used to it long ago, but in fact it was not easy to get used to.

He covered his heart and leaned there. Under the dim light, he stared at Helena intently. Helena was so flustered by him, she backed away a little helplessly.

"You don't need to send me to the medical wing." After a long time, he said slowly, with a relaxed tone, "I have lived in the medical wing for too long, I remember how many floor tiles, how many pillars, how many windows there are. During the more than a month I was there, I couldn't sleep every night, and I could only rest for a while with the sleeping potion that Madam Pomfrey poured down. I was awake the rest of the time, and when I was awake, I was counting those Things, no one is more familiar with it than me, so there is no need to bother Miss Bird to take me there."

Every word Regulus uttered was like a needle in Helena's body. Helena stood there sadly, her head lowered, her red hair covering the side of her face, and Regulus could only see her White and clean forehead.

Seeing her like this, it seems that all the blame words can't be uttered. In fact, if he can really question her, blame her, or even scold her, she will not feel so guilty. The more casual his tone seems When describing other people's affairs, the more she felt sad and tormented wholeheartedly.

"You... are you okay now?" Helena exchanged greetings as calmly as possible, stood up straight and backed away, "If you're okay, then I should go too, I have to go back to pack my things, and I should go Leaving school..."

"The elves will clean things up. Miss Bird wants to leave here and get rid of me, so she doesn't need to find such a reason." Regulus directly exposed her excuse, and Helena stood there speechless. Words came, and finally gave up words altogether.

Regulus looked at her and asked her: "Why don't you talk anymore, don't you want to leave? Don't make excuses?"

Helena was silent for a long time before saying: "Can you let me go? Don't say anything, and don't stop me."

"I know that what you said are all excuses and hypocritical lies, don't I have the right to expose them?" Regulus moved closer, and said in a hoarse voice, "You are no longer my Helena , I don’t need to accommodate you, do I?”

Helena looked up at him, and after a while she nodded and said, "You're right, you don't have to accommodate me." She rubbed her eyes vigorously, "You hate me who is full of lies, I'm leaving, You remember to take care of your health, this is the concern of an ordinary classmate, then, goodbye."

After she finished speaking the last word, she bit her lip and turned around and ran away. Regulus still wanted to stop her, just look at his outstretched hand, but he just couldn't succeed.

Maybe he didn't even think about success at this time.

Time passed quickly, and everyone boarded the train leaving Hogwarts. Helena, Evelyn, and Marge sat in the same carriage. Besides the three of them, there was also Chesa in this carriage. gram.

Maggie formally introduced Chesak to Helena and Evelyn. Helena looked at their sweet appearance, and thought that if she hadn't fallen in love with someone she shouldn't have liked in the first place, she wouldn't be hurt now. The other party also harmed himself.

Her mind was chaotic, and Helena spent the rest of the time groggy, until she returned to the empty Byrd Manor, Helena still couldn't get her spirits up.

Walking in the familiar corridor, she gradually realized that something was different here.

She froze in place, the box in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, and she stared at the front with wide eyes. The dilapidated and shabby living room had been cleaned up before. Decent and expensive brand new furniture.

Helena was stunned. She called Leif loudly and asked it anxiously: "What's going on? Where did you get these things? Don't we have any valuable things that we haven't sold yet? Can we still take them away?" Want to change the furniture?"

Respect was on Leif's old face, and it bent down and said: "Laifu really wanted to do something for the little master, but it wasn't done by Laifu!" It hoarsely said, "It's not Laifu who repaired this The living room on the first floor, it’s Kreacher! It’s Kreacher who did it all! Mr. Black asked Kreacher to restore it at Christmas! He said that the little master will be very pleasantly surprised when he comes home!”

Helena stood there in a daze, clutching the cuffs of her coat tightly, and said to herself, this is indeed a surprise. After this small world is restored, she will not have to be so afraid of this ancient and empty manor in the future summer vacation.

It would be her refuge for a while, a barrier to her ability to forget for a while the ruin and antiquity of the house.

It was Regulus who did all this, he envisioned the summer vacation at that time, he had told her that he went to see the portrait of his mother, settled everything, got approval, he settled everything without her knowledge , put in a lot of effort and made a lot of arrangements for their future, how did she respond to him at that time?

In order to protect him, to let him relax, and to stop being tortured by selfishness and guilt, she ran away cowardly.

She escaped from their relationship and self-righteously did it for his own good, but in fact it was only because she was afraid.

Helena sniffed and wiped the tears from her face with her hand.

In the dark, Kreacher's hidden figure slowly disappeared, and it returned to No. 12, Grimmauld Square. Regulus was standing in front of the stairs, listening to the quarrel between his mother and brother on the first floor.

"Master Regulus, Kreacher is back." Kreacher said respectfully, "Kreacher saw Miss Bird! Miss Bird discovered everything that Master Regulus had arranged for her! She was very moved! cry!"

Regulus slowly leaned on the railing. He lowered his eyes and stared at his brother and mother at the bottom of the stairs. They were arguing endlessly because of the adult's party at home during the summer vacation. The mother still hoped that his brother would turn back, but The elder brother made it clear that if he was there, he would definitely mess up the party.

Walburga was furious. He pointed his wand at Sirius and said, "You bastard! You bastard I gave birth to! Go back to your room and put you in confinement. Without my order, no one will give you food and let you go." Come out! Until the Dark Lord's party is over!"

Sirius sneered and said: "At this moment, what you are thinking about is still Voldemort's party. Once I say that I will destroy the party, you will believe it. You really think that I will do that regardless of the safety of the family. It seems that I am in your mind. It's really bad to the extreme, just denying me food and drink, and putting me in confinement, shouldn't be enough to vent your anger!"

Walburga was held up by her son, and it was impossible to show weakness at this time, she said indifferently: "Of course, if you weren't my son, if my blood wasn't flowing in your body, you think I would let you go so easily you?!"

Sirius said sadly: "Really? Let me go just for the sake of your blood? Please Merlin, it is really unnecessary, why don't you just let me help you, let me help you Completely freed!"

Walburga said darkly, "What do you want to do?"

Sirius rushed directly to the door, and he said loudly: "Kick me out! I will leave here, and I will never come back. From now on, I am no longer your son, no longer a member of the Black family, you You will see my determination, and you can rest assured that you don't have to worry about it anymore, and you will be humiliated by me!" He stepped out of the door, turned around and said every word, "You freed mom, this is my last time Call you that." He backed away with red eyes, trying to see the struggle and pain in Walburga's eyes, but there was none.

Nothing at all.

Walburga looked at his son who was getting further and further away with resentment, as if he had forgotten that when he gave birth to Sirius, he had high hopes for him when he gave him the meaningful name "Siris".

Sirius finally left.

Looking at the empty doorway, Walburga was so angry that she gradually calmed down.

Maintaining an elegant and noble posture, she came to the front of the family tapestry, and under the submissive gaze of her husband, she drew out her wand without hesitation, and burned the name that belonged to Sirius Black.

Before that, Andromeda's name had already been burned by her.

"Since this is his choice, I hope he won't regret it." Walburga said indifferently. People who don't understand Black will never understand that the decision she made at this moment is not only a punishment for anger, but also the ultimate punishment. Radical release.

She released him.

Maybe it was a relief for all of them to let him leave the house.

It was Sirius's and theirs.
