Floating in front of her was a slender ghostly witch with long hair that reached to her waist. Her appearance was very exquisite, but there was a proud, cold expression on her face.

As her figure fluttered, a floor-mopping cloak swayed gently behind her.

"Long time no see, Uncle Dracula." She bowed slightly and whispered to Dracula.

"Well, it's been a long time, Helena. I haven't seen it for hundreds of years, and the shelf has become bigger and bigger! Dracula looked at her with a smirk and teased, "If I hadn't asked you for something today, you wouldn't have come to see me, would you?" ”

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Helena's delicate face, and she said without confidence: "It's not that the shelf is high, it's just ...... There is no face to see you. ”

When facing Dracula, the proud and cold expression on her face suddenly disappeared, as if she had become a little girl who had been caught by her parents and had done something wrong.

Looking at Helena's familiar and delicate face, Dracula's thoughts drifted to more than nine hundred years ago-

Helena Ravenclaw, daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the four founders. At that time, Rowena had always maintained a very good relationship with Dracula, and her daughter was naturally very familiar with Dracula.

Sometime after Hogwarts Castle was built, Dracula left his Scottish possessions and returned to Romania to put the nascent vampire community in order. It was during this time that Helena and her mother had an accident.

As the founder of Ravenclaw, Rowena has always adhered to the motto "Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind". So she was extremely strict with Helena, to the point of being harsh. Helena, on the other hand, was rebellious as a young man and disappointed that she could not meet her mother's demands, so she quietly stole Rowena's crown and fled Hogwarts.

Helena left Scotland with the tiara. She believed that her mother's crown would help her become as smart as her mother, and thus help her meet her mother's demanding requirements. At Hogwarts, Rowena was ashamed of her daughter's runaway and theft, and she kept it to herself, not telling anyone else, including the other three founders and Dracula.

However, Rowena eventually suffered from a heart attack due to her daughter's escape, and it didn't take long for her to become seriously ill. On her deathbed, she asks Barrow, who is deeply in love with Helena, to find her daughter and bring her back to see her one last time.

And this is the thing she regretted the most before she died.

Helena refused to return to Hogwarts with Barrow, and once again rejected his feelings for her - Helena, who knew Dracula too well, did not look down on the not-so-good-looking and grumpy Barrow...... And Barrow lost his mind for a moment, and angrily stabbed her with a knife -

…… In the end, both of them are now Hogwarts ghosts, one has become the cold lady Gray of Ravenclaw House, and the other has become Barrow, the nemesis of Peeves.

"It's been almost a thousand years since this happened, Helena, there's no need to keep blaming yourself." Dracula sighed and whispered, "Rowena doesn't want you to spend the rest of your life immersed in guilt and self-blame. ”

"But...... Guilt, or bonding, is the foundation of the existence of ghosts. Helena shook her head slightly, "If I had figured it out one day, I probably wouldn't exist in this world." ”

Dracula fell silent.

"Professor Dracula, aren't you comforting?" In the frozen air, Dumbledore suddenly spoke with great interest, "I think you just don't have the right mouth, whether it's Nicol or Lady Gray, you can change your style of behavior for those who care!" ”

Dracula fell silent.

He found that Dumbledore seemed to be happy to put some human feelings and things like that on him, to add weight to his so-called bond theory.

"Don't talk about these useless things, we still have business to do." Dracula changed the subject directly and turned to look at Helena, "There's a ghost over there who is not quite mentally conscious, and I need your help to keep her emotions under control." Headmaster Dumbledore and I were going to ask her some questions. ”

Helena bowed her head lightly and floated to the toilet where Myrtle was.

At this time, the myrtle was still fluttering in the flush toilet, and it took a lot of effort to make a small splash. She was trying to find a suitable spot and drowned herself in the water.

"Myrtle Warren, stop your movements!" Helena frowned, looked at the myrtle who had no image to speak of, standing upside down, burying her face in the toilet water that didn't have much left, and said coldly, "Do you know that your behavior is discrediting the image of Ravenclaw College!" ”

When she wasn't facing Dracula, Helena regained her cold image.

Although no one knows her true identity as a Ravenclaw daughter, Helena still has a high prestige among the students of Ravenclaw College because of her cold and lonely image.

Myrtle Warren heard Helena's voice and realized that the Ravenclaw ghost was coming.

She was a spirit, and hurriedly got out of the water, clumsily flipping her body over, while trying to sort out her image in the process of flipping.

"Alright, come here. Headmaster Dumbledore and Uncle Dracula have something to ask you. Helena said sternly.

Myrtle nodded in resignation and floated in the direction of Dracula and Dumbledore.

The next second, her eyes suddenly widened.

"Dracula...... Uncle? Myrtle asked in astonishment, "That very handsome and handsome professor is your uncle?!" ”

"That's right, Professor Dracula is my elder, what's the problem?" Helena said.

Myrtle suddenly became depressed again, crying and muttering, "Oh no, Professor Dracula is Miss Gray's uncle." After such a long time, he must not be very weak, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to die in the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts professor......"

With his excellent hearing, Dracula could easily hear what Myrtle was muttering, and his face darkened.

Helena also looked back at him with tears and laughter, and couldn't help but tease: "The charm is not diminished, Uncle Dracula!" ”

As the culprit who single-handedly raised her own aesthetic standards and made her completely unable to accept Barrow, Uncle Dracula was as "blue-faced as ever". ’

Helena thought with a smile.
