Ch 332 - Hermione's Encounter with Eve?~

It was about twenty minutes later when the Portrait swung open and Lucifer and Hermione heard the other Gryffindors pester Harry.

"You should've told us you entered!" They heard Fred bellow.

"How did you do it without getting a beard? Brilliant!" George roared excitedly.

"Oh if it couldn't be me, at least it's a Gryffindor!" Angelina was heard saying.

"You'll be able to pay back Diggory for that last Quidditch Match, Harry!" Katie Bell had shrieked, probably in Harry's ear.

Lucifer watched as Harry got pulled in multiple directions.

Being the good friend he was, he let Harry suffer for about ten minutes before stepping in.

"Alright, alright! That's enough!" He yelled, but no one heard him.

"Sonorus," Lucifer said with his hand pointed to his throat.

"ENOUGH!" His loud outburst got everyone to shut up and stop talking for a moment.

He aimed his hand at his throat again.

"Quietus ... That's enough, Harry has had a long day, and finding out he's going to have to compete in the Tournament he didn't even enter into is enough to take a toll on a Fourth Year. He looks exhausted, let him be for the night," Lucifer said, and everyone realized how, in their excitement, they didn't even listen to a word Harry had said.

"Thanks..." Harry said quietly as the partying started back up, but everyone left Harry alone after that.

"No problem. You going up to bed?" Lucifer asked him.

"That was the plan... but... you both believe me, right?"

"Of course, Harry!" Hermione stood up and walked over to him, pulling him into a hug to show that she was there as support, "It's obvious that someone... w-well... wants you dead."

"Not like it's anything new, just the method in how they are doing it," Lucifer said, doing his best to make this child not feel alone.

The look on Harry's face was one of appreciation, "Thank you, both of you."

"Of course, oh uh..." Lucifer paused for a second, "Weasely might not be so believing... he walked ahead of us the whole way to Gryffindor Tower, and disappeared up the stairs a little while ago, not even staying down to party it up with everyone."

"We just thought you should know," Hermione said solemnly.

"Thanks... better get it over with, though..." Harry said and somberly walked up the stairs.

"You think it will go poorly?" Hermione asked Lucifer as they sat back down.

"I know it will... Weasely gets jealous of Harry easily, I'm sure you've noticed..." Lucifer said, and Hermione knew all too well that he was right.

"When are you going up to our room?" Hermione asked, continuing her book.

"...I shouldn't leave the dormitory today, and you know why. So, at least a half hour from now I will go to the boys dorm, just to give things a chance to fizzle out if need be," Lucifer said, his gaze lost in the fireplace.

"....Okay, if you want to talk about anything at all, I'll be here," Hermione smiled bitterly at him, knowing he couldn't see it.

Lucifer didn't bother her for the half hour he stayed down in the Common Room, but he bid her goodnight with a kiss on her forehead and went up the stairs.

She smiled a little at him as he walked away.

Morning

Lucifer went on a run to clear his head, knowing it was just an excuse last night to avoid Hermione.

Lucifer didn't know what to say, or do, or think. He was completely bewildered from the events that had occurred over the last couple of days.

First, Eve had shown up causing trouble with Hermione and him for some unknown reason, then Harry was chosen to partake in some potentially fatal tournament, causing half of their classmates to love and the other half to hate him.

CLASH

His thoughts were cut short as his body had collided with another.

Both of them fell to the floor with a hard thud.

The familiar giggle of a girl brought Lucifer back to reality.

He looked up to stare into his ex-girlfriend Eve's eyes, and in that moment, Lucifer couldn't decide if things had just gotten worse or if they just got a whole lot better.

"You know," she laughed, "you should probably watch where you're going, Morningstar!"

Lucifer immediately rose to his feet, and moved over to Eve to help her up, "I'm sorry! I didn't see you, and my head is just completely -"

"Confused?" Eve said softly, finishing the boy's sentence for him.

"Yeah," he breathed out, "something like that."

"I get it," she smiled, "I'd be confused too! If you just suddenly flew up in Heaven to visit me---"

"Wait," Lucifer was taken aback slightly, "you do know that I would burn to ashes, if I enter the Silver City, right?"

Eve looked at him with a furrowed brow; she thought that he would understand obvious joke.

"Well, of course. But, anyone who genuinely knows you must have some ideas that you are a pretty crazy guy, and would still do it. Hey, why are you surprised?" Eve laughed at his stupid expression.

"Don't we know each other from way back?!"

"Yes, yes of course," Lucifer said quickly, with a nervous laugh.

"Now, enough about me," he said playfully, "how've you been? Getting used to Hogwarts, are you? I know you've only been here for a day so far."

Eve smiled sweetly, "Well, in the time that I wasn't talking Fleur off the ledge about this whole tournament and World Cup debacle which mentioned your name, I decided to go for a walk which just so happened to be interrupted by the boy said debacle was about! Can you believe

that?"

"Very funny," Lucifer scolded teasingly, "I'm sorry for cutting your adventure short."

"I think I know how you could make it up to me," Eve smirked, an idea forming in her head to which Lucifer raised a brow to urge her to continue.

"From what I overheard, you tricked Emily Weir regarding us showing each other around. So, I think you should make good on that promise."

"...You know be my personal tour

guide while I'm here. That way, not only will I get to witness the full British schooling experience, but I also get to spend more time with you - which may or may not be an added bonus."

"Added bonus, is that right?" Lucifer smiled, slightly entertaining the idea, "Well I think -"

But his voice trailed off at the sound of heels clicking on the floor from behind.

Lucifer turned sharply to the left only to have his face fall at the sight of Hermione Granger walking towards them.

Hermione had yet to see the two people in front of her as she was too invested in the parchment that her head was buried in, but when she got closer she could feel their gazes on her.

She looked up, rolling her parchment, only to practically feel her heart break at the sight of the boy she loved and the girl who she despised, talking in a close encounter.

Suddenly, her giddiness to show Lucifer about the naughty lines she wrote to surprise him faded away, and the built-up jealousy in her flared up once again.

"Granger," Lucifer breathed out, finally acknowledging her presence, "why are you up so early?"
