Ch 330 - Visiting French Girl's Carriage~

"Where do you suppose they are sleeping?" Ron asked.

"Their Carriage, where else?" Lucifer asked humorlessly.

"But how do they-"

"Magic, Weasley, magic," Lucifer closed his eyes, his patience thinning with Ron by the second with how dense he was.

"What d'you reckon'll happen to the ones who aren't chosen?" Ron muttered to his friends as they watched a veela-girl moving out.

"Reckon they'll go back to school, or hang around to watch the tournament?"

"Dunno," said Harry. "Hang around, I suppose... Madame Maxime's staying to judge, isn't she?"

"Bet Lucifer would love that," Hermione said coming viciously towards her boy, "wouldn't you?"

Lucifer simply rolled his eyes and sighed, "Would you stop? I'm not arguing with you about this anymore."

Harry and Ron turned back, to see

the girl is hurrying down the stairs, her box of S.P.E.W. badges in hand,

"Thank you for waiting on me," she said to Lucifer blankly.

....Harry and Ron for a moment thought both didn't exist.

"Come on, let's go and see Hagrid," Harry said and they all set forth to go and see the friendly giant of a man.

As they got nearer to Hagrid's Hut, the Beauxbatons girls also had gone in roughly the same direction, since their Carriage was parked about two-hundred yards away.

"Told you," Lucifer said, smirking at being right.

Harry knocked on Hagrid's door and it was a moment before he opened up.

"Bout time!" Hagrid said when he flung the door open, "Thought you lot had forgotten where I live."

"Sorry, Hagrid, we've just been really bu-" Hermione had started to say, but she stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Hagrid.

Hagrid was wearing a horrible looking hairy brown suit, plus a yellow and orange checkered tie.

Unfortunately for Hermione, it only got worse the more she looked.

He had apparently tried to time his mountain of hair with what appeared to be axle grease.

It had been slicked down into two bunches.

The look didn't suit Hagrid in the slightest, and Hermione just simply didn't comment on it at all.

"Er... wh-where are the Skrewts?" She changed the subject.

"Ou" by the pumpkin patch," he thumbed in its direction, "they're gettin' massive. Mus' be three feet long by now. On'y trouble is... they've started killin' each other."

"Oh no, really?" Hermione feigned disappointment.

The other three pretended to be torn up about it as well.

"Yeah," Hagrid said sadly, " 'S' okay, though, I've got 'em in separate boxes now. Still got abou' twenty."

"Well, that's good," Ron said sarcastically, which completely went over Hagrid's head.

"Oh, Hagrid, before I forget," Hermione brought out the box of badges, "Would you like an S.P.E.W. badge?"

"A wha"?" Hagrid asked, looking at her, confused.

"A badge to show you're a member of the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare," Lucifer said.

Hermione then launched into an explanation about their club and all that, and Hagrid was a bit at odds about it, "I dunno, it'd be doin' 'em an

unkindness..."

"They used to be free Eighteen Hundred years ago. Did you know that?" Lucifer asked him.

"No, I had no idea they were once free," Hagrid turned to Lucifer having gotten his full attention.

"Wizardkind waged a war on them with the intent to enslave, and over the generations, they've been abused, mentally and physically, to know only one thing: Obey their Master," Lucifer had said.

It made Hermione go to a little dazed, as she now full-on stared at Lucifer's face.

"Wizarding Laws haven't gotten any better, and it was centuries before the Law about House-Elves being freed with clothing was introduced. Sure, not all House-Elves are abused, but ones like Dobby were. Getting House-Elf abuse brought to the light is our first goal."

"If they themselves see how badly some of them have it, without thinking that those Elves are just bad House-Elves, then we can move on to Phase Two, get them to understand they were once a Free Race." Lucifer's words seemed to have deeply affected

Hagrid, because next thing they all knew.

He was asking Hermione how much they cost, and he had bought four of them.

Hermione's face had brightened considerably, and she kissed Lucifer right there, for it was his words that convinced Hagrid to buy four badges.

Ron looked disgusted at both of them.

"Who's tha'?" Hagrid asked.

From out the window, the quartet could see heads of the Lucifer Morningstar fan club making their way across the grounds towards Hagrid's hut.

"Hagrid, lock the door!" Hermione said quickly.

"Wha'? Why?"

Too late. The front door swung open to reveal Emily Weir at the front of the group with a large grin plastered on her face.

"Lucifer! We've been looking for you!" She said.

"Of course you have ... " he sighed.

"We were wondering if you wanted a tour of the Beauxbatons carriage. We could show you our room."

"We would love to!" Ron exclaimed, but was ignored by all the girls who seemed to be staring into Lucifer's soul, who kept a tight grip on Hermione's hand so she wouldn't attack them.

"Thanks, but I already promised Eve to show each other around...."

"Oh, Really?" Emily asked, but didn't wait for an answer before saying, "Great! We'll see you there!"

"We'll, tha' was weird..." Hagrid said.

"I know!" Harry exclaimed in annoyance. "They didn't even notice me and I'm the bloody the-boy-who-lived!".

"Or me!" Ron complained.

"You're not going anywhere near her!" Hermione growled, staring in the said direction, "And I'm not letting you out of my bloody sight!" she said angrily.

By half past five it was growing dark, and Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Lucifer decided it was time to get back up to the castle for the Halloween feast - and, more importantly, the announcement of the school champions.

"I'll come with yeh, eh, jus' a sec," Hagrid said, and he went over to the chest of drawers beside his bed, and began searching for something inside it.

They didn't pay too much attention until a truly horrible smell reached their nostrils. Cough, Ron asked, "Hagrid, what's that?"

"Eh?" Hagrid asked, turning around with a large bottle in his hand, "Don' yeh like it?"

"No," Lucifer said bluntly, holding his hand up to his nose, "it smells horrible."

He wasn't one to usually be affected by absolutely putrid smells, but whatever Hagrid was using, it almost made him gag.

"Is that aftershave?" Hermione asked in a slightly choked voice.

"Er-eau de cologne," Hagrid muttered. He was turning red in the face, "maybe a bit much," he said gruffly. "I'll go take it off, hang on..."

He stumbled out of the cabin, and they saw him washing himself vigorously in the water barrel

outside the window.

"Eau de Cologne?" Hermione muttered to herself, "Hagrid?"

"And what's with the hair and the suit?" Harry asked in an undertone.

"I think I see the reason, look," Lucifer said and they all followed his gaze out the window.

Hagrid had also just straightened up and turned around.

If he had been blushing before, it was nothing to what he was doing now.

Lucifer decided to go ahead and get back up to the Castle, realizing that dinner would be starting soon.

He kept looking at the Beauxbatons as they walked out of their Carriage.

Even with the growing darkness, he caught sight of Eve as she seemed to glide across the grounds.

Lucifer's two friends and Ron must have picked up on what he did, as they were following him out of the Hut after a moment.

"Hagrid fancies Madame Maxime?" Harry asked, looking ever so slightly repulsed.

"It would appear so..." Hermione said, not sure what else to say about it.

As they made their way up to the Castle, Ron got their attention.

"Look, the Durmstrang lot are heading up to the Castle as well!" Ron watched Krum excitedly.

The four of them reached the doors at the same time as the Durmstrang students, and their Headmaster, with Krum leading the way.

Lucifer reached the door first and proceeded to walk through, only for Krum to cut in front of him,

"Excuse me? Who the fu- argh," he lurched forward and to his right, holding his ribcage.

Lucifer looked to his right and saw Hermione, she had elbowed him aggressively hard, "What was that for, Granger?"

"There is no need to cause a scene and disrupt the Tournament proceedings, no matter how much I didn't want to stop you," Hermione said, looking regretfully at him.

He eyed her carefully, his gaze softening towards her.

"Okay..." he said. He didn't like it, but he appreciated her for it all the same.
