Helena liked to be alone.
Every day, her mother asked her if she wanted to visit the castle.
Every day, her mother asked her if she wanted to go out and play with the children of her so-called "friends" or "fellow founders".
Every time, she refused.
She could handle herself alone.
Ever since she tried to befriend the vile Myra Slytherin at four, she refused to talk to anyone. She refused to attempt to befriend anyone. She especially refused to leave her room unless completely necessary. And whenever she did, she insisted on keeping her midnight-blue gown on, with golden lines stitched around it.
