Chapter 184 A different memory

Helena misunderstood Les's words. She thought that her mother managed to find Uncle Salazar before she died, and then confessed to him what she had hidden.

She felt that this was the most reasonable thing to do, but she didn't even dare to guess the truth of the incident.

Helena was silent for a moment and confessed everything to Les: after stealing the crown from her mother, she ran eastward to a desolate forest in Albania.

She believed that even a wizard like her mother was beyond the reach of such a distant place.

Helena was right, Ravenclaw was indeed beyond her reach, because a burden a hundred times heavier than family ties rested on her shoulders.

After Helena revealed everything, she completely let go of her guard in front of Uncle Slytherin, and her words continued like a flood after a dam broke.

"I want to be smarter and more famous than my mother. Uncle Salazar, you don't understand. Because I am the daughter of Ravenclaw, and because of my surname, all the achievements I get are deserved. , no matter how much effort I put in. And any mistake I make is unforgivable, because I have tarnished this surname - something you can't understand!"

Les could roughly understand Helena's pain of living in Rowena's shadow.

Several short memories emerged in his mind——

[Isn’t she the daughter of Ravenclaw? Why can’t you even know this kind of spell? Hey, why are you poking me - ah, Professor Slytherin! 】

[Isn’t it because of her mother that she became a prefect? I'm really good at it. 】

[Okay, don't be sad, isn't it normal for Professor Ravenclaw to choose her? She is her daughter after all! It’s normal for you to lose the election...]

……

This is just what he happened to hear. God knows how many strange things Helena has to face every day in her life!

No wonder she was so eager to get rid of her mother's shadow. It's a pity that the child is not clear-headed and chooses to steal the crown - even if she does gain some wisdom through the crown, isn't it still a success achieved by standing on her mother's shoulders?

If you really want to surpass Rowena, you have to leave home like her with a magic wand and a few books, and then work together with like-minded friends to become famous.

"Silly boy." Les looked at Helena sympathetically, and he told Helena truthfully what he was thinking.

"If you can make some achievements after running away, and then create a magic school better than Hogwarts with your friends, wouldn't you be able to surpass Rowena? This is no better than running around carrying a dangerous crown. Is it much better to run west?"

Helena choked, and pearl-white tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

Such thoughts flashed through her mind, but she knew too well how difficult it was to do so. She couldn't do it. In other words, she would never be as great a wizard as her mother.

It is difficult for people to accept their own mediocrity, especially a proud and arrogant girl like Helena.

But to say she is mediocre is a bit too much, she is also a shining, bright star in the night sky, but it is a pity that the problem has returned to the original point: her mother is the great Ravenclaw. Beside the bright moon, the stars, no matter how bright, are dim.

"Okay, don't cry." Leswen comforted, while glaring at Barrow.

Barrow understood, quickly floated to Helena, took out a blood-stained handkerchief from his arms, and wiped Helena's tears.

Les:…

Forget it, teachers can’t teach you this kind of thing.

Fortunately, Helena was in an excited mood at this time and did not notice Barrow's behavior. She just sobbed and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Judging from Barrow's appearance, he is quite satisfied with the current situation. Normally, he wouldn't even have the courage to be in the same room with Helena, but now he can stand beside her, provide her with a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and give her psychological comfort. Isn't this a huge improvement?

After a while, Helena stopped crying.

"You can talk to me now - wait, I want to change places to listen to your story. See you in the astronomy tower." Les glanced at the clock on the wall and noticed that the Halloween dinner organized by the school was almost over.

It's not a good place to stay for a long time, it would be bad if you were caught by Ravenclaw students.

So he opened the lounge window and flew directly to the astronomy tower next door.

Helena glanced at Barrow, and without saying a word, she turned around and disappeared into the wall. Barrow followed her silently and disappeared into the wall.

When Helena and Barrow arrived at the astronomy tower, Les was already standing there waiting for them.

"So what did you experience after leaving Hogwarts?" Les couldn't wait to know the story after Helena ran away.

“First we crossed the channel all the way east, then circled around France, headed south to Spain, then took a boat from the Mediterranean to Venice, then transferred to Byzantium, and finally headed from Byzantium to Albania, where we found a desolate forest. Seclusion.”

Les glanced at Barrow, who immediately understood and told Les how he found Helena.

People's actions leave traces, and wizards are no exception. Helena, a young and beautiful loner, will naturally leave a very deep impression on outsiders.

Barrow followed the eyewitnesses' confessions all the way to Spain, where a friend who had traveled with Helena contacted him and informed Barrow of Helena's final destination in Albania.

"Friends?" Helena said in surprise: "I have always walked alone!"

"Huh? Aren't you hiding in the forest with your friends to study Professor Ravenclaw's diadem?" Barrow was confused by Helena's words.

"Then tell me, who am I living in seclusion with?"

After Helena raised this question, Barrow was stuck. He could not remember the name of the friend who provided him with Helena's whereabouts.

Looking at Barrow's appearance and the "confession" that conflicted with Helena's, Rice determined that what happened that year was not as simple as the grumpy Barrow accidentally killing Helena by mistake.

Helena was also a little confused by Barrow's appearance. She didn't understand why Barrow could remember such things wrongly. But Les didn't leave her any time to think deeply. He directly asked the next question.

"Nana, can you tell me what happened that day? The day Barrow found you."

"Of course." Helena put aside the strange feeling in her heart and glared at Barrow viciously.

"At that time I heard Barrow stumbling towards me in the forest and calling my name. I walked out of the secluded wooden house and hid my mother's crown in a hollow tree."

"He found me and refused to go back with him, so he became furious." At this point, Helena's expression became a bit ferocious again, and she glared at Barrow again, "He hated me for rejecting him. , jealous of my freedom, stabbed me to death."

Les nodded and asked a question: "So why did you hide the crown?"
