It didn’t surprise Helena Woulfe in the slightest when a first year came to fetch her on behalf of Professors Snape and Dumbledore.  Frankly, she was surprised it had taken them that long to get her.  By then, she had already had time to finish her lessons and return to her dormitory to change her clothing for the day.  Irina was safely tucked away in the hospital wing, not breathing a word to anyone.  Helena knew Irina wouldn’t dare say anything, not this soon anyway.  Besides, Irina would likely want to get revenge on her own.  She knew Irina wouldn’t speak out against her, and especially not without proof.  Helena had made sure that there wasn’t a single shred of proof that Irina could cling to.  Yet, she knew she would be called into the office, knew that she would be called to answer allegations.  There had been too much of a commotion at breakfast for her to completely slide under the radar.  Besides, it had been necessary to leave some of the hearts uneaten.  Irina had fled from the dining hall like a coward, and naturally, Helena had to follow to appear the good friend.  Plus, it gave her the chance to get rid of the hearts since apparently she wasn’t going to be able to ingest them all; however, she had eaten as many as she could, before flushing them away in front of Irina’s eyes.
