Chapter 1: So It Begins
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." Peter 5:8.
Christmas holidays were back at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and some students had gone home for the holidays. The Gryffindor common room was completely empty, except for the three figures sitting by a roaring fire which was coming from the huge fireplace. They were gathered around a wooden board which had the whole alphabet, beneath the alphabet were the numbers from 0-10, in the bottom-left corner was the word 'YES' and in the bottom-right corner was the word 'NO'.
"How exactly did you get this…ouji…thing, Hermione?" asked the red-headed boy.
"Ouija board," said the girl called Hermione, "And if you must know, Ron, I got it from the Hogwarts storage room."
"Hogwarts has a storage room?" said the black haired boy next to them.
"Of course it does, there are all kinds of stuff down there broken cauldrons, torn robes…"
"We get it," said Ron.
"Do you guys want to start?" asked the black-haired boy.
"Alright, Harry," said Ron.
They all had their hands on a small, heart shaped board with a pointer on it.
"You both remember the rules?" asked Hermione.
"Yes, yes, you can start," said Ron.
She cleared her throat and said aloud, "Is anyone there?"
They sat there with their hands on the pointer, then, after a long pause in which no one moved or spoke. Then the pointer slowly moved to 'YES'.
"Did you move it?" Ron asked Hermione.
"Of course not," replied Hermione.
"Come off it," said Ron.
"I'm telling you Ronald," said Hermione, "I didn't move it."
They both turned to Harry, "Well don't look at me," said Harry.
Then they turned back to the board, "Ask it something else," Ron told Hermione.
She cleared her throat again and asked aloud, "What is your name?"
The pointer then moved to several letters, Hermione told Harry to write down what the letters were. After Harry had written them down, they all read the word:
LUCIFER.
