Margot's p.o.v.

I jumped out of the motorbike and looked at Hagrid,

"Thanks for the ride. I't was . . .nice.", I forced a smile.

He returned the smile, "Don't ya worry Margot, I know ya don't like flying."

I nodded, "Yea . . .not a big fan since fourteen years ago."

"Well, I think ya should hurry. Professor McGonagall is waiting for ya. Harry is probably already there."

I nodded once again and left. Walking trough Hogwarts grounds brought so much memories. Students where walking and laughing . . .I noticed that the uniforms didn't change at all. I entered the castle and walked towards Minerva's office, being agog about what she had to say.

I stepped in front of the door and knocked.

"Come in!", I heard her soft voice say and I entered.

Standing there where Minerva, Neville, Harry and a guy I didn't recognize. They all smiled and Minerva rushed towards me,

"Margot, how good to see you.", she gave me a big smile and I tight hug. I smiled back,

"Professor McGonagall."

"Oh please, call me Minerva."

I smiled, "Okay." and looked towards the boys.

"Harry. How are you?", I gave him a hug.

He smiled, "I'm fine, how are you?"

"Good. How's Genie?"

"She's okay. Working a lot."

I nodded and looked at Neville who was smiling to me and hugged him too,

"It's good to see you Margie."

I giggled. No one called me that but him.

I looked towards the unknown guy. He was a bit taller than me, with green eyes and blond hair. He gave me a big smile and reached out his hand,

"Hello. My name is Thomas but just call me Tom."

I smiled and took his hand, "Margot, nice to meet you."

I heard Minerva clear his troth, "Now that we all said hi, can we start?"

We all nodded and sat down.

"As you know, Margot is the auror with the mission of guarding the stone . . .so she has it."

"Well, not exactly." I interrupted her and everybody looked at me.

"Thomas has it."

Harry chuckled and Minerva rolled her eyes.

"Anyhow, because of the . . .current events, the ministry decided that we need more aurors on this mission."

"Yes, I talked to Hermione about that."

Minerva nodded.

"What events?", I heard Neville ask, his face pretty worried.

"The Devil escaped hell.", Tom told him and I froze. So that's why Thomas was warning me.

"Your joking, right?" Neville asked.

Tom shook his head, "No. Well, he didn't really escape . . .he quit."

"The Devil can quit? How?", Harry asked confused.

"He . . .just can. We didn't go in the details because that isn't really our problem."

"Then what is it?", I asked.

"Voldemort.", Minerva answered the question and we all looked at her.

"What?! How?!" Harry raised his voice, "But Neville and I-"

"That doesn't matter. When Lucifer left hell, he left the gate open and Voldemort escaped."

There was silence. We where all speechless for a few moments until I broke the silence with an obvious conclusion, finally realizing why are we guarding the stone,

"So, if his soul possesses someone and he gets his hands on the stone-"

"He will live forever.", Harry finished for me.

Minerva nodded, "Correct. That's why we chose you four. You are the best aurors the Ministry has and I think you are more than suitable to handle this situation."

"This is messed up. What are we going to do?"

"You and Harry are going to stay here. There's a chance his spirit will lure around the halls and attack or possess a student so we need someone on the grounds.", she then looked at me, "Tom will go with you to Los Angeles and help you and Thomas guard the stone. Dd we made a deal?"

We all nodded.

"Good. Now, I know you are scared but you have to believe in yourself. We defeated him once, we can do it again."


"Are you okay?", I asked Harry who didn't say a word since we stepped out of Minervas office.

He grabbed his bear and took a sip, "I . . .I don't know. I fought so hard against him. Why in the world won't he stay dead?"

"I've been asking myself the same question.", Neville told us.

"He's stubborn. His need for vengeance and power haunts him the way he haunts us. Even dead it won't leave his soul alone.", Tom told us.

"Hey, we will handle this. You and Neville wil guard the castle while Tom and I will guard the Stone. Even if he goes pass you guys he's not going to go pass us.", I comforted Harry,

He nodded, "Yea, you're right."

I smiled, "Yea."


Lucifer's p.o.v.

"So you kissed her . . .how was it like?", Linda asked me.

"Why do you want to know that? It was . . .the kiss was a stupid mistake."

She narrowed her eyes, "A mistake? Why?"

"Well . . .because . . .it just was.", this was the most stupid answer I could give her.

She smirked, "Because you're the Devil . . .the ruler of all the evil, the mighty Lucifer . . .and your falling for a simple mortal?"

I gave her a dirty look, "Ho many times do I have to tell you that I'm not falling for anyone?!"

She nodded, "Right. You really believe that?"

"I know that!", now she was really pissing me of.

"Then why are you talking about her all the time? Your probably thinking about her all the time too. Don't you think that is love?"

I shook my head, "You are really starting to annoy me."

"I can't work with you if a simple thing as love is bothering you!", she raised her voice and that was the last straw.

I rose up and banged my fist to the table, "I'm not in love with anyone because I am not capable of feeling love!"
