Misery [T. Higgs] ✔

us

Helena sighs as she witnesses a first year Slytherin being pressured into something by some other, older ones. "Stupor!" The stunning spell hits them straight into their heads and in the time it takes them to gather their thoughts about what just happened Helena stands right in front of them and with a terrifying right hook the lioness knocks the leader straight out. "Piss off Pukey! And take this pile of shit with you." "You'll pay for this!" "Oh really? Who is going to make me pay? Your parents? Last I heard they were still in Azkaban.", she smirks, then makes a kissing noise, that leaves the boy paling in fear and anger. He grabs his friend and drags them away. "Hey. Are you okay, kid?" "I didn't need your help, filthy halfblood." "Learn this one thing kid. Really quickly. There is no them. There's only us. And people who are bullies are only so pathetically insecure they need to establish distance by making people hate them even more. Come on. Let's get you to dinner." Helena wraps her arm around him and he soon falls into line next to her. "Why are you so nice to me? Your brother hates me." "My brother is paranoid of all people Slytherin. I am dating one. I refrain from judging a person for their house. And also.. I can't really explain the details to you but we are basically as good as relatives. So you are family too. That is if I am right and you really are Draco Malfoy." He nods slightly. "Thanks.. Helena." "No problem. I hate both Flint and Pukey with passion.", she grins and he smiles back. "I'll go look for my boyfriend at your table. Terence Higgs. If Pukey or Flint bother you again, feel free to tell me, Draco." He nods. "Hey beauty. Over here." She sends one last smile to the first year, pats his shoulder, then skips over to her boyfriend, allowing herself to fall into his arms, a shit eating grin on her face. He chuckles. "Your new friend? Do I have to be jealous?" She shakes her head and laughs. "No worries." They share a quick kiss and talk for a bit until they both hear a very soft "Helena." Immediately she whips around, ready to attack whomever is bothering Draco, only to see a pug faced girl try to kiss him. She sighs. "I gotta save this kid real quick." Without hesitation she grabs the girl, lifts her up by her coat, walks over the house table as she struggles and screams and finally drops her onto the bench across from Draco. "Now listen closely you health hazard. Minimal distance from the poor boy to keep the risk of infection with your brain dissolving stupidity at low is this. I may be all for equality amongst people but know your boundaries and when your physical closeness is making your opposite want to obliviate themselves until they loose their mind.", Helena says with a pointed glare. "Who cares what you think? Filthy halfblood whore." "As a matter of fact I do, Miss Parkinson. Miss Lupin is the only student I have had in my years of dealing with terrible nuisances, such as yourself, that possesses any sort of real magical talent, especially when it comes to potions. And therefore I will not tolerate any word against her. Just to make sure that you have indeed realised what a mistake you made you shall serve detention with Mr. Filch, cleaning out the owlery." Helena feels her pride rise immediately when her favorite teacher, without hesitation, defends her against his own house and even compliments her. Still she refuses to show it. Her childish happiness over those words.
"But Professor..." "One more word.. Miss Parkinson.. Is all it takes for me to make you do this for your entire first month of school." The girl shuts up and Helena turns around, bowing in respect and gratitude. "Thank you very much for your kind words, Professor." He pats her head once, then walks back to his designated chair and Helena straightens up again with a happy smile on her face, then skips to Terence, pecks his cheek and walks over to her house table. Not without sending Draco a small smile and a wink, making the boy grin. He decides that, despite being a blood traitor and halfblood Helena Lupin would be a good friend to have.
