Discovered by Helena, Regulus no longer hides.

He cast a neglect spell on the surroundings before officially handing the book in his hand to Helena.

Helena glanced at it, but didn't take it: "Can you show it to me? I saw Principal Dumbledore's note, and I probably guessed what you have been up to recently. You are afraid that others will know, so even I Don't reveal it?"

Regulus took a few steps forward, bent slightly to look at Helena, he kept looking at her without speaking, which made Helena upset.

"Why don't you talk?" she asked irritably.

Regulus was silent for a while and slowly said: "Seeing that you care about these things, my first thought was not to explain clearly, but to admire your awkward and worried appearance."

Helena felt that her cheeks were smoking, and she narrowed her emerald green eyes and stared at him: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm asking you a question."

Regulus belatedly said "ah", put the book away and said with a smile: "If you don't want to read it, then don't read it. I don't really want to show it to you, but it's not to avoid it. Not to mention Because I am afraid that others will know, even you will not reveal it.”

Helena was a little confused: "Then why didn't you tell me anything? Do you think that if you tell me, I will always rely on you, so that you can't concentrate on doing things?"

Does she seem like the kind of person who doesn't know the depths?

"Of course not." Regulus said lightly, just next to Helena's ear, ups and downs, with indescribable magnetism, "You know, my dear, the more you know, the more dangerous you will be. It's enough to be alone in it, you'd better not understand anything, so as to make me feel at ease."

Although I had been mentally prepared for his answer, I was still a little uneasy after hearing it.

Helena turned around and leaned against the high bookshelf, looked up at the meager light in the forbidden book area and said in a low voice: "You always don't let me participate in everything, but I want to walk with you for a while. Even if it's not much, even if It’s a little bit, I also want to go with you. You exclude me like this and make me feel like an outsider. Even if I know that you mean well, I might be angry. "

Regulus pondered for a moment and said, "So are you angry now?"

Helena remained silent with a cold face, showing her anger very clearly.

Regulus turned directly across from her, moving a little forward, closing her between his arms and the bookshelf.

The space was too small, and the breaths of the two were intertwined. Helena felt her cheeks heat up, and her mind began to get confused.

"It's outside." She put her hands on his upright chest, trying to push him away, but failed.

She raised her eyes ignorantly, and met his calm and gentle gaze, and she felt that all the breath that had just risen in her had dissipated.

She hated herself for being so unlucky, she bit her lip and stopped talking.

Regulus lowered his head, kissed the corner of her eyes lightly, and said softly, "Do you really want to stay with me?"

When Helena heard this, she felt that she seemed to have a chance, so she immediately turned her head and wanted to say yes, but she forgot that the distance between the two was very close, and she turned her head so that his lips brushed her cheek hard, and she was already blushing Heartbeat, now even more stunned.

No matter how long they've been together, how many times they've kissed, Regulus has always possessed the ability to make her fall in love with ease.

Helena managed to calm down, and said softly: "Yes, I want to be with you, you are not allowed to exclude me again, what I want is not only safety, but also you."

Regulus supported the bookshelf with one hand, and covered his lips with the other hand. He tilted his head and remained silent for a while before sighing: "If this is what you wish, then I promise you."

He agreed, and Helena was overjoyed, and she hugged his neck directly, but at this moment he said: "But you are not allowed to participate too much, I can only let you participate a little bit, more is not I can decide alone."

He was hinting at other people, and Helena could also understand that other people might not want her to know about the deep-seated things, and if she made a mistake, it would also threaten their safety.Regulus may not care, but those people cannot.

Helena knew how to accept as soon as she was good, so she agreed with a smile, and kissed his cheek passionately.

"Then keep reading, I'll go back first, although I don't know what you're studying, and you don't seem to want to say more, but I'm waiting for what you let me know." Helena made a gesture to leave after speaking. But before he could take a few steps, he was pulled back.

She leaned heavily on the bookshelf again. The bookshelf that had been there for many years was thick and hard, and her gentle and soft body could not cause any vibration when she leaned against it.

"But I don't want to read now." Regulus looked at her with burning eyes, and said in a low tone, "I've been busy recently, it seems like I haven't seen you for a long time, I just want to take a good look at you now."

Helena blushed and wanted to say something, but her words were blocked back.

Soon it was time for the sixth grade exam, and Helena felt that she had done well in the exam, so she was waiting for the report card of the summer vacation.

She was destined to have an uneasy summer vacation, because Regulus had promised her and brought her together to do what he wanted to do.

After returning to Bird Manor, Helena was patiently waiting for news from him.One day at the end of July, the double-sided mirror in Helena's hand vibrated, and she quickly responded to the call from the other side of the mirror, and saw Regulus' handsome pale face.

"Meet you at Diagon Alley." He said concisely.

Helena responded, and quickly changed her clothes after cutting off contact. She wore a dark green silk dress, a black robe that reached to her ankles, a pair of black short boots on her feet, and her red hair was scattered in the black robe. In addition, her skin is fair, charming and strong.

She soon appeared in Diagon Alley, waited for a while outside Lihen Bookstore, and saw a slender figure not far away.

Regulus stood at the intersection and nodded slightly to her. Helena walked over quickly. Just as she stood still and said nothing, he took care of putting on the hood of the wizard robe.

"Why..." Helena wanted to ask why she was wearing a hat. There was nothing taboo in Diagon Alley, but the next second she saw that Regulus was also wearing a hood, she gave up asking.

Regulus helped her tidy up her hat, took her hand and walked in one direction, asking as he walked, "Have you been to Knockturn Alley?"

Helena froze for a moment, nodded and shook her head.

Regulus looked at her: "Have you been there or haven't you?"

Helena blushed and said, "I went there when I was curious, but I didn't turn around carefully."

Regulus nodded slightly, and said softly: "You know how to measure, and you have done a good job. If you are not accompanied by me in the future, no matter how old you are, it is best not to go there."

Helena closed her eyes, looked at the increasingly decaying scenery around her and whispered: "So you want to take me to Knockturn Alley now?"

Regulus needed no words to answer, for they were soon in Knockturn Alley.

The stench filled his breath, and Helena noticed that there were wizards in sloppy clothes and strange eyes everywhere—most likely dark wizards.She didn't look much, just stared at the road ahead of her.She soon followed Regulus to a stop in front of a shop.

Helena looked up, and it was Bojinbok Black Magic Store.

Before going in, Regulus bent down and whispered softly in her ear: "Don't talk for a while, just stand by my side."

Helena didn't ask much, but nodded obediently.Regulus raised his hand and stroked her head, with some reassurance.After it was over, he took her by the hand and walked into the store.

After entering the store, Regulus let go of her hand.Helena didn't mind either, and walked into the store with him. She didn't look around, but calmly looked at everything here from the corner of her eye, and simply glanced at the black magic items here.

"Oh, look who this is, Mr. Black! Your arrival really makes the store flourish." Borgin Bock slowly came out from the inside, he bent slightly, and was repeatedly hanging his hands on his face combed greasy hair.

His voice was as greasy and crafty as his hair: "How can I help you, Mr. Black?"

When he said this, he quickly glanced at Helena who was standing beside Regulus. Helena thought for a while, and hid behind Regulus so that the other party could not see her face clearly.

Borgin Burk blinked slightly, politely looked back and continued to face Regulus.

Regulus took out a piece of parchment from his robe pocket, handed it to him and said slowly: "I'm looking for this thing, I don't know if Mr. Bork knows about it."

Bogin Burke was very gentle and polite at first, but after seeing the portrait on the parchment that Regulus handed over, he immediately said in a sharp voice: "No, I don't know, I have never seen this thing, please You go away, Mr. Black."

He was about to return the parchment directly, but a silent spell forced him to keep holding it.

Bogin Burk narrowed his eyes and looked at Regulus meaningfully. Regulus smiled, his smile was gentle and elegant, and polite, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and was even a little cold.

With such a smile, and such an identity, it seems that you can't come here like fooling ordinary guests.

Bojin Burke fell silent, holding the parchment and not speaking. Regulus was not in a hurry, and after a while he said slowly: "I don't want to get it, I just want to know what it is and who it belongs to. If you If you know anything, please let me know as much as possible."

Borgin Bock pondered: "I don't know what it is..."

"Don't take me for a fool, Mr. Bock, your reaction just now was too intense, I won't believe what you are saying now, and I don't think you are really unwilling to tell me, you are just measuring how much I can pay for this. Regulus finished speaking in a flat tone, and took out a bag of Galleons from his pocket, and Galleons were thrown onto the cabinet with a heavy muffled sound.

Borgin Bock's eyes lit up instantly, and he said with a smile: "Oh, you are so polite, Mr. Black, you just asked what it was, and gave such a high reward. You are really a generous guest."

"So, what is it?" Regulus looked at Borgin Burk quietly.

The other party thought for a while before saying: "It's probably not possible to tell many people. Is it convenient for the lady behind you to know this?"

Regulus said without changing his expression, "Just say what you want."

Helena hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and observed the portrait on the parchment.

It was a beautiful locket with what appeared to be the letter S on it.

"I must say that you are asking about a treasure. I had the privilege of seeing it, many, many years ago..." Boggin Burk said with a taste of reminiscence, "It came from noble Slytherin, it is Yes, that Salazar Slytherin - it's his relic."

Helena's eyes widened in surprise. What Regulus was looking for turned out to be Slytherin's locket?

"Then when did you see it?" Regulus asked.

Borgin Bock rolled his eyes, but said no more, just smiled honestly.

Regulus also smiled, and took out a bag of Galleons from his pocket again: "Do you remember now?"

Borgin Bock smiled and said: "Of course, of course I remembered, it was from a lady a long time ago..."

What follows Helena sounds cloudy.It is said to have been in the collection of a lady, a collector who owned not only Slytherin's locket but also Hufflepuff's grail.But these things disappeared without a trace after she was murdered by her own house-elves.

After leaving Knockturn Alley, Helena went back to Bird Manor with Regulus. She walked around the living room and asked Regulus, "Do you believe it? House elves will kill their masters."

Regulus sat on the sofa and looked at her: "I don't believe it."

Helena nodded: "I don't believe it either. I think her death may be related to those two collections. Where did you see the locket, and why did you look for it?"

Regulus only answered one question: "I saw it in Kreacher's memory."

"Kreacher?" What does this matter to Kreacher?

Helena's face was full of curiosity, but that was all Regulus could say.

"Come here, Helena." He patted the place beside him.

Helena hesitated for a few seconds, then walked over and sat down.

Regulus put his arms around her shoulders, let her lean on his shoulders, and said softly, "I can only let you know so much, and I have to do the rest by myself."

Helena lowered her eyes: "That's all? I thought I could know more."

Regulus's voice was elegant and low: "How is your Occlumency?"

Helena froze for a moment before saying: "...I'm not sure, I think it's probably okay."

Regulus turned his gaze to her, and said seriously: "If it's okay, I can't let you know too much. If someone finds you and uses Legilimency, I can't guarantee that you will be safe."

Helena hesitated to speak, she wanted to fight for something, but seeing Regulus' firm eyes, she also felt that what he said made sense, so she breathed a sigh of relief and gave up going any further.

Seeing her being so well-behaved, Regulus smiled and said, "Obedient girls will be rewarded." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head.

Without Helena's participation, what Regulus had to do was even more dangerous.

One day at the end of the summer vacation, he arrived at a place with Kreacher and the Order of the Phoenix.

A place that was so terrifying in Klee's mouth that it would make him tremble even if he just stood outside.

"Then, Mr. Black's house-elf must be asked to lead the way."

Alastor Moody pointed in the direction of the cave with his wand.

Regulus glanced at him, said nothing, only nodded to Kreacher.

Kreacher flinched. He was terrified, but he walked in bravely.

A group of people entered the cave in a mighty manner. Dumbledore followed at the end of the team. After they entered, he said to the other two: "You stay outside and pay attention to the surrounding situation."

The two nodded and stayed outside the cave.

Dumbledore looked at the back, this place was very familiar, he vaguely remembered that when he went to pick up the child from the orphanage, the administrator of the orphanage mentioned a cave... The child brought the other two children to the cave. A cave, the two children went crazy after returning.

Dumbledore hid the thoughts in his eyes and strode into the cave.

"This boat can only accommodate two people." Regulus explained for others.

They are standing by the lake, and they must take this boat to go to the island where the "treasure" is hidden, because the cave prohibits wizards from apparating.

Regulus' words made everyone feel a little embarrassed, Dumbledore thought for a while and said, "Let me and Mr. Black go."

Regulus glanced at him, but didn't agree quickly, he said after a while under the attention of everyone: "I think you can only pass two people at a time, but it doesn't mean you can't come and go more times."

Dumbledore was slightly stunned, and Regulus said indifferently: "Kreacher and I will go there first, and then come back to pick up people, one at a time. I believe this method will allow everyone to go there, so that you will feel more at ease. Isn't it?"

He glanced at Moody when he said the last words. Moody had always been very worried about Regulus, and he didn't care when he said that, and smiled.

Regulus withdrew his gaze indifferently, and went by boat with Kreacher.A few minutes later, he returned alone, taking Dumbledore with him.In this way, all who came reached the island.

In the center of the island was a stone basin filled with potions. Regulus glanced at it and said, "The potions inside must be drunk."

Dumbledore said nothing, but Moody said, "Drink it? We don't even know what it is, it seems a bit..."

Before he finished speaking, Regulus said: "During the Dark Lord's test last time, Kreacher was made to drink the water in it." His voice was cold, and he no longer acted politely to these insincere members of the Order of the Phoenix. , "Drinking these potions will make you feel like your whole body is burning, and you can't help but look for water nearby to drink, and the lake water nearby..." He walked to the edge of the island and took out a bottle from his robe. A magical creature was locked, it threw the magical creature in, and countless hands immediately grabbed it in.

He smiled, stood up, and said with amusement, "Look, that's it." He looked happy and said, "This is the trap of that man, and you have to go through these tests if you want to get what's in it. So , who wants to try now?"

Someone seemed to be overwhelmed by his spectator-like expression, and stepped forward and said, "Can't we just pour it out? Why does someone have to drink it?"

Regulus looked at the speaker with a strange look, and then at Dumbledore. His expression seemed to be asking—are all the people in the Order of the Phoenix so low in IQ?

The look in his eyes annoyed the others, but they couldn't say anything even if Dumbledore stopped them.Regulus also didn't say much, and directly asked Kreacher to try to pour out the potion inside.But the potion was poured out, but it was quickly filled again, and the moment it was poured out, it returned to its most primitive state.

Regulus smiled, and looked at the person who spoke just now. The person's face was flushed, and he wanted to say something but couldn't say it.

"Then who will drink it?" Regulus asked again.

This time someone said again: "Since your house-elf can drink it once, he can drink it a second time, so why not let him drink it?"

Regulus looked at the speaker suddenly, his indifferent gaze was like a sharp knife, making the speaker involuntarily take a step back.

Regulus gave a half-smile, ignored the speaker, and looked directly at Dumbledore: "Principal Dumbledore, I believe sincerity is enough for bringing you here. I will not allow my family to The elf suffers from the previous pain again, you can only think of a way for yourself, and let me see your sincerity by the way. If no one is willing to do that within 10 minutes, I can only go back first." He said nonchalantly Said, "It's not safe to stay here for a long time, I believe everyone understands."

After finishing speaking, he took a few steps back and took Kreacher out of the way.

Dumbledore looked at the other members of the Order of the Phoenix, and some of them bravely stood up: "Let me do it." As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to go forward and drink up the potion.

Regulus looked at the other party with some appreciation in his eyes.

Not all of the Order of the Phoenix are mediocre, he thought.

"No need, Keo." Dumbledore said suddenly, stopping the wizard who wanted to drink water.

He said a spell, and after a while, a Hogwarts house-elf appeared in front of everyone.

Regulus closed his eyes, and hid Kreacher behind his robe. Kreacher looked at Regulus with emotion, his big eyes filled with tears.

So in the end it was the Hogwarts house-elf who drank the potion inside.

The elf's reaction was the same as Kreacher's before, and he was almost pulled into the lake. At the critical moment, Dumbledore sent it away.

"It's an infernal corpse," said Moody, narrowing his eyes.

Dumbledore didn't speak, he and Regulus had already walked to the stone basin, and saw the locket lying quietly inside.

Dumbledore chanted some spell, floated the locket, and kept it temporarily.

Regulus took out a seemingly indistinguishable locket from his pocket, threw it into the stone basin and refilled the stone basin with the potion.

Dumbledore glanced at him, surprised at his preparation, and admired the boy all the more.

After finishing everything, Regulus said directly: "The rest will be discussed after we leave, goodbye."

He took Kreacher first to leave by boat, and Kreacher picked up the group of people and left the cave with their tails intact.

Everything that followed seemed to be in order.Regulus had studied what the locket was for half a semester, and he already had some clues.After seeing the real locket, he and Dumbledore came to an agreement.

It was a Horcrux.

Also, they don't think that person will only prepare one Horcrux.

Dumbledore began to investigate people who had known him, and Regulus also went home to talk to his parents all night long.

On the night before the start of school, Dumbledore, Regulus, and members of the Order of the Phoenix had a grasp of the number of Horcruxes.

On the first day of school, Regulus returned to school and saw Helena again.

"I haven't been in touch with you since then, how are you doing?" She asked very simply, but what she wanted to know was not simple at all.

It was rare for Regulus to smile very naturally and cheerfully. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "It went smoothly, it went so unbelievably smoothly, I think we won't have any worries soon."

Helena still couldn't believe it: "...Really? It's so simple? It's like a dream."

Regulus said long and deeply: "Yes, you are right, even I feel that everything at this moment is like a dream."

And this dream woke up when the seventh grade was approaching graduation.

Regulus was busy throughout the seventh grade, and he often went to the principal's office, but only Helena knew about it.

Helena didn't rush to find him like she did last semester, she gave him plenty of time, and at the end of the semester, one night when she was about to graduate, she waited for him in his dormitory in a bit of a mess.

It was rare for Regulus to be so tired. There was thin sweat on his forehead, his face was pale, his clothes were disheveled, and he looked as if he had been tortured by someone.

Helena stepped forward to hug him worriedly: "What's the matter? What happened?"

Who at Hogwarts could make him like this?Helena couldn't think of it, and the only thing she could think of was that person.

She was terrified and her face was pale, but Regulus laughed loudly at this moment, his eyes glowed and said: "I succeeded, Helena...I succeeded."

Helena was stunned: "You succeeded?" So, this is not a bad thing, but a good thing?

Regulus hugged her tightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "I finally succeeded, Helena, from now on we don't need to worry about anything, and that person will never bother us again."

Helena hugged Regulus back belatedly. When the two were tender, Dumbledore was cleaning up the mess.

They weren't at Hogwarts, and Regulus came back later.

The place they were in was the ancestral home of the Gaunt family, where they suffered heavy damage. Even though the Black family's instigation in advance and the number of Death Eaters dropped sharply, the Order of the Phoenix still suffered heavy losses. It's just not getting any benefits.

Most crucially, they destroyed the Death Eater leader.

——The dark cloud that has plagued the wizarding world for many years has disappeared, and the person who once made Dumbledore feel troublesome has disappeared.

Thinking of the successively destroyed Horcruxes, and looking at the person in front of him who seemed never to wake up again, Dumbledore frowned slightly and said, "It's over."

In June 1978, Regulus and Helena graduated.

They left the castle where they had lived and studied for seven years, carrying luggage in one hand and holding each other in the other.

Helena turned her head, looked at the castle, and said hesitantly, "I don't know if I can come back in the future."

Regulus took her arm and said, "There will be a chance to come back."

Helena turned her head to look at him and said with a smile, "When? Why are you so sure?"

Regulus looked down at her belly, raised his head again and said, "When our child turns 11, Hogwarts will enter our lives again. Before that..." Regulus said from Holding Helena's posture changed to holding her hand, "We have to get married first."

In the next second, the suitcase in Helena's hand disappeared, and was taken away by the invisible Kreacher along with Regulus's.

Helena froze for a moment, met Regulus' gaze, and looked forward with him.

The Hogwarts Express was right ahead, and Regulus' voice was in his ears: "Go home, come with me, to our two homes."

Helena squeezed his hand tightly.

Yes, they can go home.

Go back to their home.

The author has something to say:

It's over.At the beginning, I didn't want to write such a long essay, I just wanted to write a sweet article within [-] words.It's really unexpected that the writing is so long later. The elimination of Horcruxes and the battle are all abbreviated, which is not important, and I didn't plan to write it at the beginning.This concludes the story, perhaps in a hurry, but so be it!Thank you for waiting patiently. You can go to my column to see a few pre-received articles. If you are interested, bookmark them. I will open one of them after a while.Goodbye.
