Chapter 8

That same night, after talking with the twins. 

"Excuse me," Hermione said, to the red-head who was swallowing his chicken leg. 

"Can't a person eat in peace in this place?" Ron asked. His dislike for Hermione was not hidden in his tone.

"Watch your tongue, Weasely or I'll rip it out for you..." said Lucifer in a threatening manner, which seemed to cause the red-head's whole body shudder, but it's not that he was feeling cold all of a sudden.... It's just this boy looked like.... he really would do the damn thing. 

That's why, Ron shut his mouth instantly. 

Hermione pressed forth as though they said nothing, "I couldn't help overhearing what you and Malfoy were saying-"

"Bet you could," Ron said.

"One more time, and see the magic happens," Lucifer was now really staring at his throat, with his fingers twitching, ready for some blood. The boy shrunk down even more, on his seat. If he went any further, they probably won't be able to see his face. 

"And you mustn't go wandering around the school at night! Think of the points you'll lose Gryffindor, and you're bound to be. It's actually very selfish of you," Hermione tried to explain to them.

"And it's really none of your business, is it?" Harry said rather harshly to her.

Lucifer looked at Hermione and saw that she was unfazed, but he knew it really bothered her. He turned his attention back to Harry, "So was Professor Snape right? You're so full of yourself that you would do something so selfish that you'd risk being at Hogwarts for something stupid? I expected better of you, Potter." He said to Harry, who actually looked regretful of the words he had said. 

Out of the corner of his eye, Ron was about to say something, but he was quick on the draw of his wand, "I thought I told you to shut your damn mouth?!" Ron stayed quiet and Lucifer put his wand away.

He and Hermione turned and left them to their own devices, "If they want to get detention and lose Gryffindor points, then that's their business, Granger, let's just leave them to their own idiocity."

Hermione said nothing, which worried him. He looked at her and saw that she was trying her best to not let their words get to her.

"You are a goody too shoes, Granger. One day it's going to bite you in the back" said Lucifer with monotone voice. 

Hermione finally looked at her best friend with small tears in her eyes and threw her arms around his neck, she then started sobbing slightly.

“....” Lucifer. ’This girl's emotional state is really out of this world....'

“Why does everyone hates me? I was just trying to stop them from getting into trouble?!”  The boy who was just suddenly hugged out of nowhere, didn't know what to say.

'Is this some new kind of war  tactic....' “Even my roommates hate me, and call by names, like bookworm and a b-beaver!”

Lucifer's mouth twitched, slightly after hearing those words, and had a strong desire to protect this girl, causing him to rub her back lightly.

But the bushy-haired girl, didn't seem to stop his actions, she even leaned into his touch and hugged him even more tightly, “Granger, I assure you, those girls are most likely being jealous of your performance during the class....”
