Chapter 33
"You should take the pills fir...Crucio! Crucio! Crucio!! Shut up?! Lucifer's mine!"
"Aaahh!" This directly made Hermione Granger woke up inside her room, screaming out loud, giving Jane, who was just resting beside her, a huge fright.
"W-what the?!" Jane quickly realised, this voice is too familiar, it was her daughter's yell, then moved quite rapidly to fill up, a glass of water, after drops of sweats....on Hermione's forehead, "Here, pumpkin! Drink this!"
She handed it over towards the bushy-haired girl, who gratefully took the cup, and finished it down in one swoop, very thirsty.
Gulp! Gulp!
"Haah...Thanks Mum..." Hermione muttered in a graspy voice, Jane nodded her face slightly, then glanced at her in a worried expression, "How are you feeling, dear.....?" she tried to become very gentle, her voice quite soft.
"Mrs Morningstar....."
"Sorry, Can you please repeat?"
"H-How did he even use the bathroom, if I had the key....?"
"....." Jane, "I'll call Linda, that you woke up..."
Only, Hermione's cheeks started to become deep red, just become flushed, after she came out of her dazed expression, and felt a little....
"C-can I switch my pajamas, Mum?!"
"Y-yeah, of course...Wendel-

A couple of days later, Lucifer had received another video call from Hermione about Harry getting into some legal trouble with the Ministry, but he didn't figure anything would come about it.
Harry was a famous Wizard, the Ministry wouldn't do anything.
Lucifer also received his book list which, as expected, included Grade 2, but he made the purchase upto 4th, in their First year....Even learned many advanced spells with Hermione, during Professor Binn's trash lectures.
It's just one thing, he found quite weird, a man named, Gilderoy Lockhart, he directly changed all the 2nd year books, very perverted.
Hermione also ridiculed him for 2 hours straight, making Lucifer just feel quite bored, first he thought, maybe it's just 1 or 2 books?
Only, now....Lucifer didn't know, if should he even bother to purchase them? Knowing, Hermione's outbursts, she'll most likely create a riot, if he did.
But, with the Defense Against the Dark Arts position open with Quirrell's demise, Lockhart even might be the new Professor.
"....." Lucifer, this shit just turned even worse, he decided right instant, for making sure Hermione didn't curse this new Professor, and got expelled.
She also mentioned visiting Diagon Alley, on the coming Wednesday.
Which was great because, Lucifer hadn't seen Hermione....well in a first level experience, since the end of the previous school year or he just missed her touch....
Only, Lucifer wasn't ready to accept this fact one bit, he didn't miss Hermione's bone-crushing hugs at all!
Besides, he didn't even dare to tell her, about his Summer homework.
'Hey, at least I am a couple of inches taller now!'
Indeed, Lucifer noticed his body getting much stronger than last year, Unrivalled destructive force just coursing through his veins.

Wednesday
Lucifer was just aimlessly walking around the Diagon Alley.
It was mid-Morning and Hermione didn't say when she'd be arriving at Diagon Alley, just that it would be Wednesday morning.
So, he just decided to go, and Re-new his Gringotts Black card, for the mean time.
On his way there, Lucifer saw a familiar head of bushy-brown hair, "Hermione, is tha-"
The girl looked over as though, she didn't even recognize the voice, as did Harry and the Weasley's, only when she saw her caller's face....
"Lucifer!" Hermione directly ran over, with her legs, moving as fast as they could, and stopped in front of him, "I-Is it alright if I hug you? I remember that every other time I did last year at Hogwarts, you tensed up, so I thought I'd ask this tim-"
"Of course, Hermione," Lucifer cut her mid-off, but it was everything she needed to hear and wrapped her arms possessively around him in an instant, with Lucifer doing the same.
It took her slightly.....
"I really missed touching you all Summer, even after using that Christmas present!"
"I just can't wait to be back at Hogwarts, learning new things!"
"Also, you still didn't tell me about your homework!"
"Is this just my illusion, or your voice really get deeper? I couldn't even separate it from the mir-"
Hermione just didn't seem to be closing her mouth, even talking to who knows at this point, not giving Lucifer a single chance to respond.
So many damn questions?!
"...Hey, hey don't forget to breathe, okay?!"
"Right, I was just asking, whether you completed school work, if not...."
Hermione's eyes turned very cold, deliberately pausing while staring at this trouble maker, Lucifer's face, from above, even though she had to turn her nose, upwards to get a perfect look, 'When did he become this huge?!' She felt quite inferior now.
"T-Took me bloody four days to get it all done- w-what's with the face?"
After Hermione's expression became quite scary, Lucifer directly spilled the beans, it's just her face is even much weirder now, tried best not to laugh at her.
"Four days?! It took me almost two damn weeks....I had more unexpected things happen, compared with you, but still...." Hermione said, her tone is quite dismayed, even frowning those cheeks of hers.
"I'm sorry, Hermione..." Lucifer didn't know, why she just turned sad all together?
"Don't be, if there is anyone, I would rather have better than me in school, it's you!" She smiled gently, while nodding her face up and down, removing that incident, from her mind....
"Okay... did you say my voice got deeper?" Lucifer asked her.
"Yeah, It was quite normal on the mirror...."
"I wonder why that is..."
"Even became more commanding, just like I saw in the dream...
"Pervert..."
"Hey! Do you want to be smacked again?!"
