"What are you hiding from me? I know you are lying, Eve. I know you more than you think I do?"
Eve let out a nervous giggle, she didn't expect herself to be caught so easily, "Everything, I told you is true except for a teeny tiny part. I did come back to the earth for fun and the excitement but more specifically I came back for.... You. To be with you like old times."
Lucifer was feeling stunned, even had to push his throat a little to chew the bite he just cut off, "But that was thousands of years ago!"
"Yes, but that was also the best time of my life Lucifer, I never felt more like myself than when I was with you "
"Eve, I am sorry if you came all this way for me then you made a ...mistake," Lucifer turned his face in her direction to notice a sullen look on face that never felt good with her beauty.
"Why? It's because of her isn't it?" Eve said, her eyes moving a little sideways at bushy-brown haired girl who is fuming and glaring daggers at her.
"No, that's put down on hold...."
"No, I mean your own insecurity."
"I am not insecure!"
"Now, who is lying. I am not blind. I know what ....Rejection is like? what it feels like ? That Granger girl doesn't accept who you are, does she?"
Only before Lucifer could provide a proper answer to respond, Fleur came up from behind, "I 'm sorry for zis..."
She said moving her wand in such a manner that Lucifer confirmed to be a privacy charm around her and Eve.
Naturally, since talk was private Lucifer didn't pry what said conversation was but he knew the topic was most likely him.
"Je ne fais que te taquiner, Eve, ne t'inquiète pas," Fleur said with a giggle, and did a small flick of her wand.
She turned to Lucifer, and began speaking to him, "So, Lucifer, I will be 'onest, zat was an eempressive display of power. I 'ave 'eard from some of ze Ravenclaws, particularly a blonde 'eaded girl, zat you are related to Merlin?"
"Who knows...." he said as Fleur set her elbow on the table and rested her chin on her palm.
She had an oddly dreamy look in her eyes.
"I 'ope you do not mind me being so... forward wiz zis, but I zink zat makes you desirable, more zan any ozer guy in zis school," Fleur said to him, "and I deedn't say it ze ozer day, but I was 'oping zat ze Beauxbatons girls 'ad sat at ze table you'd be sitting at, only to find out zat you sat two tables down. It was mildly dees'eartening, eef I am being 'onest."
"Fleur, je croyais que tu avais dit qu'il ne t'intéressait pas?" Now, Eve was getting out of her comfort zone, and her cheeks going red.
Fleur turned to her, "Je n'ai jamais dit cela. Il est incroyablement désirable, bien sûr je m'intéresse à lui."
Lucifer was getting a little uncomfortable knowing very well the argument going on between the two.
After clearing his throat to get their attention, "Ladies, um... c-can I ask you to stop glaring at each other? I thought you were best friends?"
"Oh, we are just talking about sharing you, nozhing more!" Fleur winked at him, while Eve swatted her shoulder with a hmph noise feeling irritated that her lines got cut off including the chance to kiss....
Lucifer could feel his face burning slightly.
Farther down the table, he didn't see it, but Hermione was looking his way with more jealousy than she ever thought she'd be capable of.
She wondered briefly if not sitting with him was a mistake, but she concluded quickly that it was definitely a mistake.
She allowed those French Harlots to get near Lucifer and she could see that he was indulging their advances.
She violently turned her head, lost her appetite, and proceeded to leave the Great Hall.
She went to the Library for the rest of Breakfast before her first class started, where all she accomplished was crying into a book.

As Hermione rounded the corner, she saw Lucifer approaching from the opposite direction.
'I must be on time if he isn't in the room yet....'
They met at the door.
"Cutting this close, aren't you?" Lucifer chided her.
"I got caught up in the library. I'm not really late, am I?"
"No. Come in." He pushed open the door and ushered her inside.
They went through to his room, and he led her to stand next to the fireplace. "Face the wall while I get things ready."
Hermione wanted to ask "what things?" but was afraid to find out.
The stone wall was cold, but the fireplace countered the chill.
He stood right behind her, and once she was in place, he pulled off her robes, tossing them aside.
He shoved her skirt into her waistband and pushed her knickers down to her knees.
She put her hands on her head before he could tell her to.
Lucifer smiled behind her. "Spread your legs and put your nose to the wall."
Her knickers were restraining her legs, but she did the best she could.
"Where is your plug, Hermione?"
She banged her forehead against the wall. "I forgot. I didn't have time to go back to my room. I'll go get it."
"Keep your nose on the wall," he growled. "I can't believe you forgot after our talk this morning. This night just got a lot longer for you."
Tears pricked the backs of her eyes.
Fear took a backseat to the raging guilt washing over her.
'How could you be so stupid, Hermione? You can remember every book you ever read, but you can't remember one small direction from the one man you want to make happy....'
Silent tears streamed down her face.
She was glad he was in the bathroom so he wouldn't see.
'What kind of wimp cries because they're stuck in a corner without their plug? It sounded ridiculous.'
But no matter how ridiculous it sounded, she couldn't stop crying.
Hermione heard him walking around the room, moving things about.
Whatever he had planned would undoubtedly hurt, but there was no way she could possibly feel worse.
'No,' she thought,'if he sent me away, I'd feel worse.'
He was behind her again, and she squeezed her eyes shut and tried to breathe normally so he wouldn't know she'd been crying.
"Where in your room is your plug?"
"Side table drawer," she whispered.
He left without another word.
She didn't move a muscle. Her eyes were almost swollen shut from crying.
He'd notice as soon as she turned around.
The room was so silent without him there.
The only sounds came from the fireplace popping and crackling to her right.
The door next to her opened, and she heard him walk toward the bed then to the bathroom.
When he came back, he went and poured himself a drink.
Hermione knew he was sitting there staring at her. She'd stay perfectly still and do everything he asked—anything to make him happy.
Her shoulders started to shake even though her crying remained mute.
There was a knock at the door, and he went to answer it.
Who would be visiting so late at night?
She heard the door creak open in his office and low voices.
Her eyes got bigger as two sets of footsteps approached and entered their private quarters.
Was he really going to let someone see her like this?
