The Forgotten

Chapter Seventeen

Lucifer woke up on christmas feeling giddy. He couldn't contain his excitement. He had always loved this day. It weren't for the presents, no. It was for spending time with your family. No interruptions. No war to think about. Wake up and 12 in the afternoon and stay in your pyjamas all day, with the best cup of tea and coffee in the world, made by Lucifer himself. Just sitting around the tree in each others arms. Talking about everything and nothing.

All though the first thing needing to be done is scare the living daylights out of everyone. This year Lucifer had to do it differently. He had over heard a conversation everyone else was having. They were planning to hide somewhere in their room and jump scare him. Last year they had pretended they were zombies. Once again Lucifer had overheard the conversation and knew what to expect. You see, Lucifer had ears on the inside. It was called the house elves. They would hide and tell him after the conversation.

Lucifer got out of bed and tiptoed down the stairs. The house elves helped him with his plan as well. As he walked downstairs he saw it a complete mess. He snickered and got into place. He went to the living room and he laid on the floor. Libby, his house elf, popped in and put some fake blood on the side of his head and on the floor. She chuckled quietly and popped away. Lucifer composed himself and closed his eyes.

Minutes later steps were heard rushing down the stairs and into the room he was in. 'Lucifer!' He heard everyone cry. They were at his side in seconds.

'Lucifer wake up please!' He heard one shout. Lucifer did as he was told.

'BOO!' He screamed. They all jumped back falling onto the floor. Lucifer sat holding his stomach from the fit of laughter he was in. Their faces were terrific. They were staring at him horrified and eyes wide. They soon got over it and laughed at themselves. Lucifer composed himself and stood up giggling. He walked to the kitchen, Narcissa following behind. They always had a competition who made the best tea and coffee. Every year in a row since they had started Lucifer had won. However, every year after he won Narcissa always said she'd win next time. She never has but she continues.

'I'll win again Cissy.' Lucifer rolled his eyes. Narcissa smirked, she had a different idea this time, and it was sure to win. Everyone piled into the kitchen and took a seat. Draco got his stop watch ready and said

'Get to your stations you two. And everyone else take your Veritaserum and get ready to take it.' Lucifer and Narcissa took their stations and everyone else got their Veritaserum ready.
'3..2..1.. go.' He said and started the stop watch.
The two put the kettle on and grabbed everyone's cup, which had their names on.
They put the tea bags or coffee beans in and sugar in some. The kettle went off and they poured it in.
Both done their secret and finished the drinks off. Draco stopped the clock and they placed the drinks in front of the people they belonged to.
'First is the second greatest man in the world Tom!' He started. Tom gave him a glare and Draco put his hands up in defence. 'Sorry Tom, my fathers in the room.' That earnt a flick on his ear by Lucius. 'Ouch.' He whined rubbing his ear.

'Its fine, Draco.' Tom chuckled. He gulped his Veritaserum then one of the tea's and kept a straight face. He gulped the other tea, still keeping the straight face. He then proceeded to tick a box on a piece of paper in front of him and slid the paper over to the next person.

'Next is the greatest potion master in the world that there has ever been and will be, Severus!' Draco shouted. Severus flicked his hair back and put his hand over his heart.

'Please, Draco. I know i am.' Severus answered chuckling. Tom rolled his eyes at Sev's dramatic side. Severus smiled and took his Veritaserum and gulped down one of his cream and cinnamon coffee's. He kept a straight face as well and took a gulp of the other one. He ticked a box and slid the paper over.
