"Good morning El..."
"Remus?" Asked Helena that had just wake up "Sirius? James? Peter? Why are you here?"
"We brought you breakfast and some coffee. Here..." replied Remus and gave her a toast with marmalade and a cup of coffee.
"About last night's events-" started saying James but Helena interrupted him.
"I dont want to discuss it now"
"No you must know. Everyone knows it, thats why the girls didn't wake you up for breakfast. If you entered the Great Hall everyone would have started asking questions about you know and we didn't want you to feel even more uncomfortable..."
"And what about classes?" Requested the girl as she drank some coffee.
"Its Saturday, remember?" Answeared Sirius
"Oh yeah I totally forgot... Nevermind... Thank you so much for the breakfast guys and not for waking me up, it means a lot" Acknowledged Helena
"So, what do you want to do? Play some magic chess or -how do you call it?- Monopoly?" Asked Peter
"Later maybe. Can you please leave me alone for now?" Requested Helena
"Anything you want Vix, bye!" Responded James "Come on guys..."
After they all said goodbye and left the room Helena went to sleep again, with the hope when she wakes up everything would be normal again...

Weeks had pasted and Helena was again herself. She laughed, she joked, she pulled pranks. Noone bothered her anymore except Snape and his friends.

It was already Christmas Eve and the next day there would be the Christmas Ball. A few boys had asked her to go with them but Helena always rejected them because she hoped that Remus would ask her. Only if she just said yes and not waited... But on the other side something good came up from the events that followed. Helena was sitting alone in a bench in one of the hallways Hogwarts has.

"Um hi..." said a male voice and Helena raised her eyes from the book she was reading to see who it was and why he told her hi.
"Oh hello Davis how are you?"
"Fine... um look, here's the thing... You know that there is the Christmas Ball tomorrow and um I was wondering, if you don't have a date of course, that-"
"Yes I would like to go with you Lucas" stated Helena
"Oh great! So, um... see you tomorrow yes? Let's meet at 8 outside Great Hall"
"That sounds great" said Helena

How am I going to tell the guys that I'm going with him? Oh fuck they will hate me... On the other side I don't think that they will take this way too personally cause, after all, it isn't their fate but mine...

Lucas Davis is a 5th year pureblood Slytherin Regulus' best friend. Helena didn't have any problem with him but the guys had. You see, Lucas was jealous of them and because of that he always makes fun of them. Once there was a big fight between Sirius, James and Lucas and they ended up losing 50 points each and 2 weeks of detention. Remus didn't like that guy either because he makes fun of his scratches on his face. Helena thought that if she went to the Ball with him, she would make Remus jealous and perhaps he would ask her if another Ball was being organized in the future...

"Guys! Guys! Guys!" Exclaimed Helena as she stormed into the boys dorm "I have some great news i want to share!"
"What is it Vix? Did you finally find a date?" Asked Sirius
"Well, actually yes! Someone finally asked me!"
"That is great Vixen, I'm so happy for you!" Cheered James. Remus, however, was silent and didn't speak at all.
"Well... His name is Lucas and he is a 5th year Slytherin!" said proudly Helena
"Lucas? Davis Lucas?" Asked Peter concerned
"Yes him" responded the girl
"LUCAS? Are you serious?! This guy is crazy! You can't go with him!" Barked Sirius
"What do you mean I can't go with him? Are you serious?"
"Yes I am! Helena, this guy is a complete arse!"
"Just because you don't like him it doesn't mean that he is an idiot!" Stated Helena
"Oh gosh... You could have gone with me or Sirius you know...
"Oh you remembered now?! Noone asked me not even YOU guys! What did you want me to do? Cry my eyes out because I don't have a date? I said yes out of desperation! IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR SIRIUS?!
"Oh God El... There are many other guys that would love to go with you" answeared Sirius
"Oh Really?! If its true, why didn't anyone ask me? I'll answer! BECAUSE NOONE ELSE LIKES ME. AND NOW THAT SOMEONE NOTICED ME, YOU TELL ME TO SAY NO!" Shouted Helena
"Well actually YES! You know that I don't like him! But NO! Elena doesn't care about anyone else but herself! You KNOW that he's an asshole and yet you still accepted!" Hissed Sirius
"Yeah I accepted WHAT IS YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM?! It is MY fucking life and I can do WHATEVER I WANT! Besides, if anyone liked me he would have asked me, wouldn't he?" Stated Helena
"El I think Sirius is right, you shouldn't go with him. This guy hates Muggleborns!" Spoke finally Remus
"Yeah I know, but I should give him a chance! Maybe he isn't that bad after all..." said the girl
"He is that bad after all! He bullies muggleborns for fun! This doesn't feel right! How can he be with someone like you?" Snapped Remus
"LIKE ME? LIKE ME?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" Roared Helena
"I mean that you are a muggleborn and he is a pureblood who-"
"Ohhh... You mean that I CANT be with him because he is pureblood and I'm muggleborn! WHAT A SHAME TO BE MUGGLEBORN HUH? I didn't know that you think like this lupin...!"
"No no el i didn't mean it that way...!
You know that I don't believe in that bullshit!"
"Yeah yeah... So I will say it one last time. IM GOING TO THE BALL WITH HIM WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!"
"No you won't!" Hissed Sirius
"Oh yes I am!" She Exclaimed
"Please El dont go!" Begged Remus
"You 2 don't control my life! Now, If you 3 don't mind I'm going to bed AND DONT YOU DARE TO DISTURB ME!" She Barked
"Helena Petrova listen to me NOW! This bitch doesn't really like you, you know it deep inside! And when he'll find out that you're a muggleborn he will dump you! Just listen to us, please, we don't want you to get hurt..." bellowed Remus
"You weren't there Lupin when he asked me! He was so nervous, I saw him. You should have seen how he reacted when I said yes! I'm sure he's not that bad!" She sneered
"What in the actual fuck! I cant do this anymore do whatever you want... Are you sure about your decision?" Quaked Remus
"Yes I am... And just in case you didn't know I kinda fancied him!" Smirked the girl
"Wait WHAT?" The shocked voice of James heard
"I think you heard what I said James..."
"But I thought you liked-"
"Oh fuck off! I don't care at all what you'll do. I warned you! But don't come back crying because he found out you are muggleborn!" Warned Sirius
"I WONT! HAPPY CHRISTMAS." Helena shouted and left the room with tears in her eyes.

"She will get hurt i feel it..." mumbled Remus
"So?! Let her get hurt. She will learn from her mistakes." Reported Sirius still angry
"Its just... Nevermind... I'm going to bed..."
"Oh moony you should have asked her... look now who's she going with..." gulped James
"I can't do anything now, she'll go with Lucas... You know, I don't think that she would say yes anyway so what's the point of trying?" Stuttered Remus
"Are you that blind? I've seen how she's looking at you moony! You've must see how she blushes when you compliment her! She is crazy about you mate!"
"You really think so?"
"Yeah! She's like my sister I know her better than herself!"
