Casifer

Dressed in his usual trench coat and suit, Castiel stood in front of her, leering like a loon. His posture and demeanor divested greatly from his usual composure, which had stopped her from approaching him further. She hadn't expected to see him in Boston, of all places, and her greeting died on her lips as she noticed the odd behavior. Thus, the angel and witch stood silently watching each other, about ten feet apart.

"I gotta ask Crowley," the impostor said, giving her another leering grin. "How'd you get out of the box I shoved you in? Not that I really blame you. After all, I took every opportunity to get out of my cage. Did I miss a minion of yours when I was purging your administration? Obviously I need to know for security reasons." His spiel certainly explained why she'd not seen her demonic stalker in months. The witch suddenly felt guilty that she had simply assumed he was busy.

Hermione had never heard Castiel, much less anyone else, speak in such a cavalier manner that this version used. She did, however, choose to take a parchment out of Harry's playbook, by simply allowing the madman to talk. It was one of many lessons she'd learned from Voldemort. Dark Lords and aspiring villains loved to hear their own voice.

"Be honest,' the man wearing Castiel said, still grinning, "How many demons did you slaughter to escape from your own palace? I do love that you've gone and proven my point about how fucked up demons are. Absolutely no loyalty, am I right?"

She didn't wait for him to continue. The witch disapparated on the spot, knowing full well that Harry was going to kill her when he learned how reckless she was acting. In true Gryffindor fashion, Hermione landed in the foyer of Crowley's ostentatious palace, armed with her wand and the knife Dean insisted she carry after a particularly close call with an enemy of Crowley's. The two demons standing guard were dead before they realized she was there.

In a blind rage, and driven by an unexpected urge to find Crowley, Hermione didn't allow any demon she came across on her way to the center of the "palace" to survive. By the time she'd reached Crowley's "throne room," she was covered from crown to toe in blood. While it wasn't a new look for her, this time it wasn't her own.

Magically throwing open the double doors, Hermione knew she looked ethereally and otherworldy as she stormed into the room. Multiple demons froze as they turned to stare at her.

"Who are you?" One of them asked.

"You're Queen," she hissed, causing all of them to take a step backwards at the obvious fury she exuded. "Lovely, you've heard of me. Whomever doesn't bow, will die."

Several demons exchanged wary glances, while a few others grinned sadistically. It was the latter group who attacked her first. They were also the first to die. She made quick work of all of them, until she was standing over the final demon, one who was possessing a young man and groveling at her feet.

"You don't understand his power!"

"Yet you all underestimated mine," She hissed. "No, none of you bothered to question why Crowley kept me away from all of you." The demon shuddered.

"Instead you all arrogantly assumed I needed his protection. Get out. Tell your friends whom they should truly fear. Tell them of the power Crowley's Queen possesses."

She unlocked the cage Crowley was locked in after the demon ran from the room. She helped Crowley hobble to his feet, as he leaned heavily on her.

"Mimi," he breathed, struggling to speak. "You shouldn't be here. Too dangerous."

"Yell at me when we're safe," she said helping him turn towards the exit. Unexpectedly, Cas was standing in their path grinning as he clapped enthusiastically.

"Lucifer," Crowley croaked, failing to push Hermione behind him. She groaned as she recognized the name.

"Please tell me your joking," She muttered, suddenly horrified at their circumstances. Harry really was going to kill her.

"Happily, he's not!" Casifer answered grinning. "He's quite serious. Little brother was terrified by the effect Amara would have on the world, and knew I was the only solution. Thus here I am! That said, I couldn't pass the opportunity to punish Crowley, here, for his actions during the apocalypse."

"Lovely," Hermione answered, braver than she actually felt. "Who's Amara?"

"God's sister," Crowley muttered. Hermione filed the information away for later.

"Now, I about kicked myself, after you ran off, for not reading that sigil correctly," Casifer said.

"Must run in the family," Hermione answered dryly.

"Really, bravo for your speed," Casifer congratulated, ignoring her commentary. "Exactly how many of your brethren did you slaughter to reach Crowley here?"

"I didn't stop to count," she answered with a shrug.

"Deeeeelightful!" the devil drawled out. "Ooh I understand why he felt the need to claim you. Honestly, I'm tempted to put my own sigil on your soul. If only you weren't a scummy demon. Tell you what! If you can get out of this building, I'll let you live. Hell, I'll even give you a head start!."

"Agreed," Hermione said without hesitation.

"Oh, you should know that I changed the protections on this palace, after getting rid of the little usurper you're holding up there. No more just smoking out. Although I suppose that would defeat the purpose of the rescue mission."

"Doesn't bother me," She answered before disapparating with Crowley. Casifer glanced around, before turning over his shoulder and looking back towards where the two had been standing.

"Well...I didn't see that coming."
