Ch 169 - Extra Lessons for Ginny

Days later

"So, what's next on the agenda?"

"Ancient Runes homework" Hermione said, looking up at him, "Professor Babbling wants it by Monday."

"Right, cool, yeah. Hey Ginny, how's Flipendo going? You want a lesson?"

"Lucifer!"

"What? Ginny needs help with the spell, don't you?"

"....Actually, I could do with it if you're willing to offer. But don't go failing your homework on my account. Not least of all cause Hermione looks ready to murder you."

'She doesn't mind, do you?' he added looking down at her only to be met by a glaring pair of eyes.

"You're lucky she actually needs help" Hermione grumble. "Come on, let's go find an empty classroom."

The three of them made their way up to the second floor where they found an empty classroom that was sometimes used for Herbology if the greenhouses were unreachable.

Hermione waved her wand as they entered, and the loose desks and chairs all slid up against the walls.

Another wave and one set came back which she settled herself on.

'Right then,' Lucifer said, drawing his wand and turning to face Ginny, "How many times have you managed it so far?"

'I haven't,' Ginny said as she drew her own, 'Hence asking for your help.'

"Let's test fundamentals then," Lucifer said, waving his wand so one of the tables came soaring towards him, sliding to a stop in front.

He placed his wand down on it and stepped back. 'Levitate it.'

Ginny narrowed her eyes at Lucifer's wand. '

"Wingardium Leviosa,' she said, waving her wand at Lucifer's.

It didn't move

"Right, good start. Couple of points," Lucifer said, wandering around behind her and placing his arms on her shoulders.

"Feet in line with my hands, you want a solid stance. Next, swish and flick-" then reached around her and grabbed her arm to guide her hand in the movement.

'-low steady curve through the air with a sharp drop at the end, sharp drop should end pointing at whatever you want to levitate. Finally Win-garrrr- dium Leviosa. Make the gar nice and long.'

Ginny nodded and took a deep breath.

'Good, again.'

'Wingardium Leviosa!'

Ginny's aim was off, it landed slightly right of where the wand lay, but the wand wobbled a little bit all the same.

'Much better and much closer,' Lucifer said, stepping back over to where his wand lay and readjusting it. 'Your aim was slightly off. Once more. Focus and take your time.'

'Wingardium Leviosa!' Ginny cried again.

This time her aim was on point and Lucifer's wand began to hover slightly off the desk.

He snatched it up as Hermione burst into applause. Ginny beamed.

'Atta girl!' he called. 'Confidence is everything in spellcasting. If you don't think you're going to do it, you aren't going to.'

"Woah, you are really amazing like I thought, Lucifer!" Ginny looked at him in awe, she already knew how powerful this boy's magic is.

'Thanks. Now whilst you may not have had a proper first year, that's still first year magic. Which means we're going up a level- Um.... Yes?' Lucifer added with a raised eyebrow as he turned to look at Hermione, who had her hand in the air.
