Chapter 21

It was Lucifer, who opened his mouth again, even though Hermione was fuming inside, “You know, during Christmas, I read a lot of books inside the library, and found an interesting fact....”

“Fact?” Hermione spoke up in a slightly raised voice, before this ferret could, and initiated a conversation with him.

“Yeah, most Pure-bloods are actually created through incest...I was really sho-

"My parents are not siblings!"

"Huh? but what about your grandparents... or their parents? I'm sure if you go back far enough, your family tree is just a straight line.”

"Lucifer, there's more of it over there..." But Hermione, then pointed a shaking finger to the darkened path ahead, not even giving a chance to Malfoy to defend himself.

Only, there was sticky, silver unicorn blood all over the path and branches that stuck out nearby.

That's why, Lucifer stopped, causing Hermione to bump into his back. He was staring off into the distance through the jumble of trees.

"What? What is it?!" Hermione started to freak out.

"It's nothing." Lucifer dismissed her.

But it wasn't nothing, he felt a cold, sharp pain trying to hit his forehead, probably a method for reading his thoughts, and saw a dark shadow whip around a tree trunk.

They kept on moving but, Lucifer had the feeling they were being watched.

"I'm going to turn back in a minute," It was Malfoy who spoke up, trying his best to run away, without damaging his image too much, "Even if we find the damned thing. It's already dead in my books. Why waste time risking our own necks trying to find a mutilated corpse?"

"How nice of you, Draco," Lucifer said sweetly. "Oh, and please say 'Hello' to the Werewolf on the way out... alone."

“.....” Hermione, who just heard her Lucifer calling Malfoy, by his name. It really wasn't a good thing in her opinion, and she immediately wrote this blonde-haired ferret's name in her Little book.

"Fine, I'll stay here if you're really that scared, Morningstar."

“"Who? Me? Scared? You're just being delusional!”

“I am not crazy?!”

“You must be seeing your own reflection in the puddle of piss, that you're leaving on the ground, right?”

"What was that!?" Draco screeched as a twig snap could be heard from beyond the visible tree line. "Don't lie to me, Morningstar, I know you heard that too."

"I heard it..." Hermione said shyly, moving herself closer to Lucifer, who also whispered quietly, “Yeah, me too...Keep your voice low, we don't know what it is."

"It might be Hagrid," Hermione offered, trying to feel relieved.

"I don't have much hope"

“.....” Hermione's mood started to become very complex.

"What else lives in these woods? Granger, you should know, you're the bookworm of Hogwarts, right?”
