She shifted her position uncomfortably and replied in a hushed voice, "He is already here." Helga turned herself further away from Salazar and squeezed her eyes shut. |

Salazar heard it this time, and just looked at her smiling, though soon he found her reaction to be quite odd, he approached her calmly. "That's fantastic isn't it? Well let's go see him now lady Helga, come on, chop chop, we shouldn't make him wait."

Helga's eyes shot open when she felt Salazar's presence so close to her. She turned towards him and shook her head. "There is no need to move from this room Monsieur." Helga paused, took a deep breath and plucked all her courage. She stood up and walked towards Salazar. Helga placed her hand on his cheek and gently pecked his lips before adding, "For he is already here." |

Salazar looked a bit confused, what did she meant, soon enough he understood once she pecked his lips, he looked at her calmly, letting her touch his cheek, he sighed though as he looked at her, flattered that she saw him like that, he then looked away calmly. "I'm sorry my lady.. but we can't, I'm not the ideal man." Salazar said, he only considered her like a friend, a sister even doing this felt wrong to him.

Helga's expression turned to one of shock and mortification. She started backing away, her gaze fixed on the ground. Helga felt rejected and she wondered what was wrong with her. "Please accept my apology Lord Slytherin. I should have realised you would be interested in older and more sophisticated ladies." |

He pulled her closer in a hug and kissed her forehead softly. "I'm flattered. my lady but I'm not the man that will make you happy for the rest of your life, that I assure you.. I see you...as a sister, I'm sorry my lady.. Salazar said, feeling sorry for her, a bit sad too, he just caressed her cheek softly, to try and cheer her up.

When Salazar she was like a sister to him, Helga felt worse and her heart broke. She pulled away from him and ran towards the library. "If you will excuse me, I need to get ready for tonight," she said in a strangled voice. Technically speaking it was still early, but she could not bare looking at Salazar because it hurt too much. |

"I... of course my lady." Salazar said, bowing his head, he felt a bit sad for her, he really didn't want her to make her sad, but he also didn't want to lie to her and make her live a false dream, he just sighed calmly, what choice did he have now, she'd be stronger for it, he hoped.

Helga hurried out of the library and towards her bedroom. She flung herself on the bed and sobbed loudly. Helga felt foolish and mortified. She was sure that Salazar would hate her forever for what she had just said and did.
... Later that night
The young Hufflepuff stood motionless with her head bowed beside her parents. She was wearing a regal blue gown with a black hem and waiting to be presented to the young suitors.

Salazar sighed when he went to check on her, he could hear her sobs from the door, he walked away sadly, this wasn't what he wanted that's for sure he just sighed again, eventually going downstairs to greet her parents.
Later that night.
Salazar was standing alongside Helga's brother, he looked at Helga, hoping everything would go well for her, as she would meet the young suitors for her hand.

It had been the longest night of Helga's life. She had danced and spoken with many fine young men. However, none of them ignited her interest or that spark she felt for Salazar. That night, he had kept his distance from her and that hurt her. Little did she know that after meeting her future husband she would be building a school with Salazar, Rowena and Godric. And that Salazar would become her closest male confident.
