Lucifer hadn't received detention for his actions, and he hadn't even received punishment of any sort.
He had awoken in the chair in the Common Room the next day, stiff as a board from sitting upright.
He could only imagine what everyone was going to say to him when they saw him.
Probably look at him and treat him exactly as Trelawney had predicted the previous year.
He didn't feel like running that morning, so he skipped it and went to shower and put on fresh clothing and robes.
It was still incredibly early, so he decided to go and see Hermione, if she was still even in the Hospital Wing.
He didn't see why she would be, but he just had to know for sure.
He walked out of the Common Room to a dark, creepy feeling corridor.
Pressing forth, he soon found the Hospital Wing and opened its door carefully.
He looked at each of the beds, but Hermione wasn't in any of them,
"Already back at the Tower... okay."
Lucifer then just exited and went down to the Entrance Hall, just as the sun was starting to reach over the horizon.
He sat on the bottom step of the Marble Staircase to wait for Breakfast to start being served.
He didn't know how long he had sat there for, but he opened his eyes when a tap was felt on his shoulder.
He looked and saw the girl in question, "Lucifer, what are you doing down here?"
"Hermione?" He stood up and embraced her, "I'm so glad you're okay," he said quietly.
"Yes, I am too," she returned the embrace.
He felt an odd tension between them, making it slightly uncomfortable to be holding her.
He let go and looked at her face; her face was soft, but tense around the mouth.
Lucifer was about to speak when she spoke again.
"I heard what happened... after I left in tears..." she said slowly.
"If you want me to apologize for my actions, then you're going to be waiting a long time," Lucifer informed her, and her reaction was as he expected.
Hermione wasn't taken back, or aghast, it was like she had expected him to say exactly that, "You almost killed Professor Snape... how can you not apologize for that?!"
"Because he's biased, callous, a horrible fucking teacher. No one here likes him but his own House. Worst of all, he made you run away, crying, when you clearly needed to see Madam Pomfrey. How can you even suggest I apologize for almost doing everyone a favor?" Lucifer asked her, clearly not budging on his position.
"Lucifer, I-I think Eve is a bad influence on you," Hermione frowned, when she heard such a dark tone.
"....This has nothing to do with her. It's Who I Am. I punish people," Lucifer emphasized those words just in case she didn't hear the previous one.
"I know he is horrible but there is a right way to punish people," Hermione said trying to convince him, even she herself couldn't deny hate for Snape.
But he can't just go outright and kill the man!
"And, what makes you the authority on right and wrong, Granger?" Lucifer asked gritting his teeth angrily.
"We could talk to Headmaster Dumbledore, there must be rules made to appeal.... paycheck deduction or job demotion from his position of Head of Slytherin...." Hermione now went completely quiet, not even believing her own words to justify anymore.
"Well, I am the Devil. I ruled Hell....Bad people were sent to me so that they can get what they deserve and it is my job to do the same here on Earth. Because when I Don't---"
Lucifer didn't look her straight in the eyes when he said those words, afraid she might get terrorised....
"----when I don't, bad things....happen. That is why I was going to kill Snape and nearly choked him to death."
"You almost killed Professor Snape, and could have been sent to Azkaban. What am I supposed to do with that, Lucifer?!" Hermione almost shouted at him, with how panicked she felt after noticing his face getting even darker.....
"Now, you made it plainly clear that you can't handle who I am...." Lucifer walked out towards Great Hall leaving a stupefied Hermione behind in his wake.

Taking a seat a little farther down than he usually sat.
He wasn't surprised when Hermione didn't sit next to him.
He wasn't going to apologize for his actions, he had no reason to.
He just had to hope that Hermione eventually accepted his actions and talked to him again. 'Maybe she just needs some time...'
The Hall began to fill with students soon enough, and as expected, every single one of them entered, looking at Lucifer and whispering not so quietly about what he'd done.
He ignored them and ate the breakfast he had grabbed the moment it appeared in front of him.
He had no reason to explain himself to them, or act differently, just because of what happened yesterday.
As expected, no one sat near him, afraid that he'd blow up again like yesterday.
Of course, it was the Slytherins, who spoke the loudest from across the hall, that said it, specifically Draco.
"Watch out everyone! You don't want to be nearly strangled to death, do you? Or potentially exploded for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Morningstar will rampage through the school and kill the lot of us if we aren't careful! I guess Trelawney's prediction was true for a change!"
Of course, there had been no Professors in the Hall at that time, so Malfoy had been given free reign on what he was allowed to say.
Not even Hermione had told Malfoy to shut up. She was doing what she almost always told Harry and Lucifer to do, ignore him.
He couldn't exactly blame her that much, because this wasn't something for her to get involved with, but he still expected her to have his back on it.
Then again, maybe because he wasn't saying anything, or even acknowledging Draco was talking at all, she was being quiet too.
There was at least one person who didn't seem to be put off by him or his actions yesterday.
He had seen someone sit across from him, but it wasn't until she spoke that he realized who it was.
"Hello, Luce. How are you feeling?"
He looked up and saw Eve sitting across from him, "Oh... hey, Eve... I'm okay," he managed a small, half-smile in her direction, showing that he was at least a little appreciative of her checking on him.
"I heard what that horrid boy was saying about you. I did see it yesterday, but I do not think that you are a bad person," she said kindly to him.
"Thank you, that means a lot to me....." His smile grew to a full one, but then it faded just a moment later when he realised what was happening....
