Chapter 350 - Ch 377 - Cruel Girlfriend’s Fury~

Madame Maxime gave him an Eight, Crouch put up a Nine, Dumbledore followed suit and also gave Harry a Nine, Bagman gave him a Ten, and Karkaroff gave him, unsurprisingly, a Four.

"What a biased piece of shit. Only one to get higher than a Five was Krum, and he had been given a Ten by Karkaroff," Lucifer said under his breath.

"Yeah, I'll go find Fleur..."

Eve and Gabrielle went to go and find Fleur, while Hermione dragged Lucifer along with her to go and find Harry.

Ron was following them as well, apparently needing to see Harry from the way he was acting.

They entered the Med-Tent and saw Harry sitting on a bed with Madam Pomfrey having just walked away to go and check back on Cedric.

"Harry!" Hermione yelled after entering the tent, but it was Lucifer who should be complaining about her vice-like grip on his palm, "That was amazing!"

"Well done, Harry, that was spectacular," Lucifer said, clapping him on the shoulder with his free palm that didn't get hurt, "and I'm sorry I didn't help any with your preparations."

"Nah, don't worry about it," Harry said and looked past them.

They both turned and saw Ron standing there awkwardly, "M-Mate... I'm sorry for being a prat... someone clearly wants you done in if they are willing to enter you into this Tournament..."

"Oh, finally figured that out, have you?" Harry asked with a bit of loathing in his voice.

Ron clearly was nervous, and was fidgeting back and forth.

He looked up at them and his face was paling, "If - If you can forgive me, o-or at least tolerate me... I can live with that until you do forgive me again."

Harry walked up to Ron, and for half a second, Lucifer thought a fight was going to break out, but he pulled Ron into a brotherly hug, "Don't be a prat again, and we won't have this problem again."

They let go of each other and Ron looked relieved, "You got it, mate."

"Potter!" A voice from behind them sounded; it was Professor McGonagall's voice, "Potter, well done, very well done!"

"Thank you, Professor," Harry said, slightly dazed.

"Come along please, the Champions are needed to be informed about the after-Task challenge," she said and led Harry to the Tent he had walked out of earlier.

"So, what do you think that Golden Egg is for?" Ron asked them.

"Something to do with the next Task, no doubt," Hermione answered him.

"I'll meet you both back at the Common Room, I'm going to see how Fleur's doing," Lucifer said and walked away after waving to them both.

He wandered around for a bit, looking for the recognizable Beauxbatons outfits that they wore.

It took a moment, but he eventually found them, all huddling around Fleur.

He walked up and stood off to the side, not wanting to interrupt.

"Fleur, je suis tellement contente que tu ailles bien!"

"Avez-vous eu peur?"

"Avez-vous vu ce bel étudiant borgne arrêter ce dragon?"

"Il t'a sauvé la vie, n'est-ce pas?"

Lucifer heard several girls say.

"Laisse Fleur respirer un peu," Madame Maxime said, coming up behind Fleur, "Il semblerait que vous ayez un visiteur, Fleur."

All of the girls suddenly turned and looked at him.

He glanced at them all and gave a wave, causing them to giggle uncontrollably.

They separated so he could walk up to Fleur, "Congratulations, Fleur, on getting past your Dragon and collecting the Egg."

"Zank you," she said, smiling gratefully, "and zank you for saving my life when zat Dragon got free. Gabrielle also said zat you saved 'er's and Eve's life, zank you so much for zat as well," Fleur stood up, walked over to him, and kissed him on the cheek as thanks.

"Hey, you vixen!"

It wasn't just that he felt another pair of lips on his other cheek, Lucifer already realised who the culprit was....

The girls around them all swooning at the affection both gave him.

"Ah, don't mention it," Lucifer said, his cheeks reddening slightly.

"Go on, I am sure zat your friends weel be missing you when 'arry opens 'is Egg," Fleur said, insisting on him going to see his friends.

"Okay....."

"I'll talk to you later, Eve" Lucifer smiled and waved goodbye to her, "Au revoir," he said to the rest of them.

Upon him saying that, they all giggled again and crowded both Fleur and Eve this moment as he walked off.

And to Lucifer's good day, he quickly caught up to Hermione as she was just waiting for him just a couple of metres away.

Only when he was about to reach her....

To her dismay again, a group of Beauxbaton girls with large cards with lipstick stains on them, bottles of whiskey, probably from Madame Maxime'e personal stash, and a plate of cauldron cakes.

Hermione groaned as the Lucifer Morningstar fan club ran towards him to thank upon saving Fleur....

Lucifer was instantly scooped up into a hug by Emily Weir, and could feel hands gently rubbing all over.

"Furnunculus!" Hermione cast, an evil grin spreading over her face as all the girls started pointing at each other, pimples and boils sprouting all over their faces.

"Lucifer! Look away!" Emily cried. "I'm hideous!"

"Nothing's changed then!" Hermione spat at her.

"Ridikulus!"Hermione disappeared, and in her place was an Bobo doll, with her face on it.

"Enough!" Lucifer yelled his eyes glowing red, pushing the girls away from him by waving his hand, and stepping in between Hermione and Emily.

He waved his hand again, and with a pop, Hermione regrew her legs and went to throw a punch at Emily.

"Granger, no!" Lucifer caught her fist.

"Thank you, Lucifer," Emily said in a sickly sweet voice.

"Shut up! Leave us alone!"

"What is going on here??" Professor

McGonagall rounded the corner. "Miss Granger, what is the meaning of this?"

"Professor." Hermione's voice turned to a sad one, and tears started leaking from her eyes. "Th-they were s-sexually ass-assaulting Lucifer, a-and I tried t-to stop them, but-but they t-teamed up on me..."

"Is this true, girls? Did you sexually assault Mr Morningstar?"

"She's lying! She cursed us! Look, Professor! Look!" Emily said, showing off her growing pimples.

"Mr Morningstar? What is your say in this matter?"

"Don't ask him, he's clearly going to stick up for his girlfriend!"

"So now you acknowledge the fact that I am his girlfriend?!" Hermione yelled. "You didn't care five minutes ago when you were feeling my boyfriend up!"

"Miss Weir! Is this true?" McGonagall asked.

"Of course not, Professor!"

"Do not raise your voice at me young lady! I think your Headmistress would like to know of your behaviour this evening."

"No, please!" Emily kept pleading as she and her friends chased the emerald robed Professor down the hall and away from the couple.

When they disappeared from sight, Hermione's eyes instantly cleared of all tears and her stuttering stopped.

"That was cruel... amazing, but cruel." Lucifer said with a smile."You're definitely my girlfriend. Come on, let's get back to the common room before anything else happens."

They had just walked up when Harry opened it, and the most eardrum shattering sound was heard.

Harry quickly closed the Egg after being dropped by Fred and George.

Lucifer was rubbing his ears in an effort to stop the ringing.

"What the bloody hell was that?" Ron asked aloud.

"What!?" Hermione heard Lucifer ask, his supernatural ability didn't help either.

"Well, Bagman did say that the Egg was a clue for the Second Task..." Harry said after standing up, "I just didn't think it'd have to be solved to get the clue."

"Argh," Lucifer finally stopped rubbing his ears, "can't have it be too easy, can we?"

"Regardless, this evening after dinner, we are celebrating your survival and passing of the First Task," Fred said.

"You've at least got to join us this time and enjoy it, Harry," George said, sounding like he wasn't giving Harry a choice.

Harry couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, alright." The Common Room thinned out enough to where Harry was able to talk to the Three of them.

"I'm going to go upstairs and write a letter to Sirius and let him know I survived the First Task."

"Good idea, we'll go with you when you come down," Hermione said, her eyes roaming over Lucifer's ears she was talking.

For a second Harry didn't know who she was talking to.

When Harry did eventually come back down, the four of them made their way to the Owlery.

On the way, Harry was informing them all what Sirius had said about Karkaroff.

"Fits, doesn't it?" Ron asked them, "Remember what Malfoy said on the train, about his dad being friends with Karkaroff? Now we know where they knew each other. They were probably running around in masks together at the World Cup... I'll tell you one thing, though, Harry, if it was Karkaroff who put your name in the Goblet, he's going to be feeling really stupid now, isn't he? Didn't work, did it?" Ron had asked as they made it to the Owlery.

"You only got a scratch! Here, let me hold him still," Ron then moved forward to grab Pigwidgeon, but the little Owl started to fly around in circles at the thought of making a delivery, which always excited the little Owl.

Ron eventually got a hold of Pig and let Harry tie the letter to his leg.

"There's no way any of the other tasks are going to be that dangerous, how could they be?" Ron asked as he walked to the window and tossed Pigwidgeon out of it.

The tiny Owl plummeted about twenty feet before he caught traction on the wind and flapped his wings excitedly to the distance.

"Well, think of it this way, Weasely, in the First Task, all Harry had to do was get past a Dragon. It's safe to assume that in the future Tasks there'll be more than just one creature to deal with. It's easy to deal with one Magical Creature, but with multiple you have to constantly be thinking about what you're fighting against and how to defeat it," Lucifer said as they started to make their trek back to the Common Room.

"Well, don't I feel so much better?" Harry scoffed.

"You'll have Hermione helping you. You did great against the Dragon with only her help, don't see why Task Two and Three will be any different. And, if you want, I'll help you as well," Lucifer offered his assistance.

"You sure you won't be hanging around with Eve at Hogsmeade?" Hermione asked in a slightly hostile tone.

Lucifer didn't answer her for that.

"I thought so!" Hermione said, basically ending the topic.

Sure enough, after Dinner when they got back to the Common Room, a party was thrown for Harry, just like Fred and George said they would.

While at the party, many of them had been debating on what the Egg had contained.

"You know, that Egg sounded like it had a Banshee in it. Maybe you've got to get past one of those, Harry?" Seamus had suggested.

"It was someone being tortured! That's what that sound was... You're going to have to fight the Cruciatus Curse!" Neville said, turning a ghostly white at the mere thought.

"Don't be a prat, Neville, that's illegal," George said, "They wouldn't use the Cruciatus Curse on the Champions. I thought it sounded a bit like Percy singing... maybe you've got to attack him while he's in the shower, Harry."

"Want a jam tart, Hermione?" Fred came up and offered to her.

Hermione looked skeptically at the plate and then back up to Fred.

"It's alright," he said, grinning, "I haven't done anything to them. If anything, it's the Custard Creams you've got to watch-" Fred had paused when Neville got choked and spit out the jam tart he had been eating, "Just my little joke, Neville..."

Hermione took the jam tart, but didn't bite into it.

Instead, she prompted the question, "Did you get all of this from the kitchens, Fred?"

"Yep," Fred said, grinning at her. He then put on a high-pitched squeaky voice in a clear imitation of a House-Elf, " Anything we can get you, sir, anything at all ! They're dead helpful... get me a roast ox if I said I was peckish enough for one."

"How do you get in there?" Hermione asked curiously, but in an innocently casual sort of curiosity.

"Easy. It's a concealed door behind a painting of a bowl of fruit. Just tickle the pear, and it will giggle and-" He stopped and looked suspiciously at her, "Why?"

"Just to see how their conditions are, honest," she said, and her tone sounded honest to Lucifer.

"I believe her," He said, enjoying one of the cakes that was present at the party.

"Of course you would," George said, trying to refrain from grinning.

"Of course I would, she's my girlfriend, but she is being honest about her intentions. With all the people who have bought an S.P.E.W. badge, Hermione wouldn't dare throw all that effort away," he paused and looked at her, "Would you?"

"Of course not. You made many excellent points in setting me straight on how to go about helping the House Elves, I wouldn't ruin all of your work and effort you put into it," Hermione said, smiling at him.

"See?" Lucifer asked George, who just shook his head.

"Whenever we next get some time, Lucifer, we should go and see them down in the Kitchens," Hermione suggested to him.

"Alright, we'll do that, yeah," he smiled at her kindly.

Hermione simply beamed at him, elated that he wanted to go with her.

"???" Lucifer. 'What's up with sudden change in her moods?'
