Lucifer paused for a moment, 'What!? Did - did he really just-'
He looked at Snape, and heard Hermione let out a whimper.
He looked and caught a glimpse of her tear-filled eyes as she turned on her heel and ran.
She ran all the way down the corridor and out of sight, and he was paralyzed to the spot, still unbelieving that Snape actually said. that.
Really, he shouldn't have been surprised, but he didn't think even Snape would be that callous.
Harry, Ron, and every Gryffindor there besides Lucifer, who was still in mild shock, began yelling and complaining.
But only Harry and Ron had been insulting Snape and calling him names.
"Let's see," Snape said in his silkiest voice, "Fifty Points from Gryffindor, and a detention for Potter and Weasley. Now get inside, or it'll be a-"
Lucifer came through the crowd out of nowhere, his eyes had turned a dull red, grabbed Snape by the scruff of his robes, and slammed him into the wall beside the door to his classroom.
Before he had a chance to reprimand Lucifer, his throat had started being closed off from Lucifer's hands being around it.
Lucifer had lifted Snape off the ground, pressed his thumbs into Snape's larynx, and was on the verge of strangling the life out of the most hated Professor at Hogwarts.
But, then Lucifer couldn't hide it any longer, he gave Snape just a glimpse of what felt like nothing but a feeling....pure terror, "P-Please don't ki----"
"Oh you are gonna wish, that's all I did to you!" Lucifer said in what sound like a menacing tone.
Before he could completely go through with it, Hermione's voice, his voice of reason, rang out in his head, telling him to stop.
He tossed Snape aside, who was coughing and holding his throat gingerly.
His eyes had watered and he couldn't see.
Lucifer turned around and saw the terrified looks on the Fourth-Year Slytherins and Gryffindors.
He was furious, and he needed to get out of the Castle, and quickly.
He almost sprinted up the stairs and out the front doors through the Entrance Hall, just to get outside fast enough.
When he felt the cold hit his face, he walked down the path and he was about twenty yards away from the Castle when he lost it.
Lucifer roared with anger; explosions had sounded around him like artillery bombarding the ground, sending dirt and grass everywhere.
Windows from the Castle had blown outward and inward, and an entire classroom wall had blown onto the Grounds.
Specifically, it was the Transfiguration classroom, and McGonagall's Third-Year class for Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff had been interrupted.
The Durmstrang and Beauxbatons students all came out of their respective living spaces to see what had happened, and they were both surprised and slightly worried.
Mainly afraid that he would damage their Ship or Carriage, but the students looked on in awe.
When he let all of his rage out, Lucifer collapsed to his knee, feeling suddenly quite exhausted.
A second later he fell forward and blacked out.

Lucifer awoke some time later, sitting in a chair in Dumbledore's office.
He blinked his eyes several times to clear his vision and saw that Dumbledore sat across from him, with both McGonagall and Snape flanking the Headmaster.
His mind wasn't clear, but when Dumbledore spoke, it was impossible to miss the disappointment in his voice.
"Lucifer, I am very disappointed in you... attacking a Professor like that. What could possibly have provoked you to do such a thing?"
"Mr Morningstar," McGonagall said, not giving him a chance to speak, "You have attacked Professor Snape and through your actions, there are now two black bruises where he claims you tried to choke the life out of him. Is this true?"
Lucifer was silent for a long moment, glanced at Professor Snape with a look of pure hatred, and then looked at his Head of House, "My only regret is not going through with it."
McGonagall gasped, Snape looked like he was about to take off every point Gryffindor currently had, and Dumbledore's face became Neutral, "Lucifer, what are-"
Lucifer's voice started off calm, but grew louder and more cold as he went on, "You should be thanking me for not killing you, you loathsome, biased, despicable, pathetic and horrid excuse for a Human, that's why I despised your kind. A bullshit Hogwarts Professor, no less."
Lucifer was a hair-width away from following completely through with his previous attempted murder, "Did you even bother to tell them why I attacked you?"
Dumbledore was the one to speak first, "He didn't give us the whole story, I feel," he eyed Snape.
"Headmaster, I told you-"
"Just shut the fuck up, you piece of vermin," Lucifer spat, "I'll tell you what really happened," He turned to Dumbledore.
"His Slytherin students have a badge that reads 'POTTER STINKS as half of what it says, to taunt Harry. I mocked Malfoy and he got angry, drawing his wand, as did Harry. They both tried to curse each other, and their spells ricocheted in midair."
"Harry's hit Goyle, Malfoy's hit Hermione. Snape told Goyle to go to the Hospital Wing, and when he looked at Hermione, these were his exact words," Lucifer paused and looked at Snape.
"I see no difference," he looked at Dumbledore again, "causing Hermione to cry as she ran to the Hospital Wing on her own."
Dumbledore merely looked at Lucifer for a moment, then said, "Severus, Minerva, leave us a moment."
"Headmaster, surely you don't-"
"I believe he said... to leave us," Lucifer looked menacingly at Snape.
Snape sneered and left, almost pulling the door off its hinges when he did.
McGonagall left behind him and closed the door gently.
When they were alone, Dumbledore spoke, "Lucifer, I cannot condone what you did to Professor Snape."
"I don't honestly care if you do or not, but I have only one thing to say," he stood up and walked right up to Dumbledore's desk, "if that Bastard says or does something cruel like that to Hermione one more time, I am not going to hold back. I will kill him, and take him down to hell myself!"
Lucifer turned to leave, having nothing left to say and not wanting to hear what Dumbledore had to say.
"Lucifer, going around threatening Professors-"
"I am not threatening Professor Snape, Headmaster!" Lucifer yelled and turned, looking at Dumbledore with his eyes.
"I am making a promise to you; control Professor Snape, or you will suddenly find yourself lacking a Potions Professor. This is his Last Chance, I will not give him another," he turned to leave.
Dumbledore knew Lucifer wasn't joking.
He would have to do something about Snape, without giving away to the fact he needed the Professor at Hogwarts.
Dumbledore was afraid of making Lucifer angry, quite honestly. He couldn't contest the power of Merlin for very long, if at all, if he were to try and control him through force.
For now, he'd have to appease Lucifer, at least a little bit, but he feared the child was taking a dark path.
Only if Dumbledore knew...
Lucifer opened the door, and saw Professor Snape smiling evilly.
"Get the fuck out of my way," he said, looking at Snape, and pushed past him, almost sending him stumbling.
He walked down the stairs and out into the Corridor.
He could only imagine how angry Hermione was going to be with him when she found out he almost strangled the life out of Snape.
She was fine with insulting Professor Snape or the Slytherins if they needed it.
She was even fine with him man-handling Draco a time or two, but physically assaulting and almost killing Professor Snape, he could see her being more than just angry with him.
He didn't know how much time had passed, so he wandered to the Potions classroom.
Upon arriving, Lucifer discovered it was empty.
He sighed and decided to return to the Common Room, feeling mentally drained.
He'd check on Hermione in a little while when he was feeling better.
He said the password, walked in and sat down in one of the comfy armchairs.
It was comfortable, really comfortable.
Sure enough, he closed his eyes and actually fell asleep a few minutes later.
