Chapter 3 – Missing Devil

Laughter could be heard coming from the backyard, and Harry felt a smile pull at his lips. Lucifer had been with them for only one day, but Teddy already adored him. Harry supposed it helped that Lucifer was more than ready to play any game Teddy came up with. Harry feeling so at ease with the man was a plus too, the fact that the wards hadn't even twitched in warning at his presence was a really good sign as well.

He followed the sound of laughter, and found Lucifer and Teddy involved in an epic battle for the last chocolate chip cookie. Teddy running from Lucifer as the man tried to tickle the four year old into submission.

Not wanting it to escalate into all out war Harry swept in and ate the cookie.

Man and child looked at him wide-eyed.

Harry swallowed the cookie, and smiled at them.

"And this, gentlemen, is what you call a Slytherin attack. Let two sides fight it out while you sweep in a claim the spoils."

Lucifer and Teddy traded a look, it marveled Harry that they were already able to have a conversation with just a look, and with a war cry tackled him; tickling him mercilessly.

Being outnumbered by such merciless foes Harry was quick to surrender, leaving all three of them sprawled out on the grass, huge grins on their lips.

"That was mean, Daddy." Teddy pouted at him.

"It was." Lucifer nodded solemnly.

"Yes, it truly was." Harry grinned unrepentantly. "That's not why I came out here though. It'll be Freddy's birthday in a couple of days, we'll have to get there sometime today because of the time difference so that we are ready for the party tomorrow."

"We're gonna see the Weasleys?" Teddy grinned, jumping up and running around them.

"Yes." Harry smiled at him.

"So cool!" Teddy threw himself at Lucifer. "You're gonna meet the Weasleys! They're family too, not like daddy, 'cause we only see them sometimes, but daddy says that they're still family even if we don't see them every day."

"I don't think I was invited, Teddy."

Teddy turned towards Harry, his features a mixture of Harry's and Lucifer's, and Harry almost winced at the puppy eyes.

"Can he come, Daddy? Please?"

"I don't see why not," Harry replied, grinning when Teddy jumped back up and ran into the house shouting that he was going to pack. "You don't have to, if you don't want to."

"It's not that I don't want to go, I just don't want to impose. Won't your family ask questions if you just appear with a stranger?" Lucifer knew for a fact that at least half of the Weasleys would threaten him in some form. They were rather protective of Harry, which was something Lucifer certainly approved of.

"You aren't imposing. I'm inviting you." Harry smiled. "I think it would do you some good to go out, get the situation with your family from your mind for a little while. I guarantee that the Weasleys will keep you busy."

"If you're sure..."

"I am. I want you to come." A slight blushed spread on Harry's cheeks. Lucifer smirked, which just caused that blush to darken. It was turning into his favorite thing to do – making Harry blush. It was quite fascinating watching that alabaster skin be tainted by cherry red.

"Alright, thank you." He smiled and got up, giving the small wizard a hand to help him up. The feel of Harry's skin against his own made heat race through his body. Was this normal? Was this what mortals felt? He doubted it, they had no Grace. They wouldn't be able to feel their Grace purr in contentment. It was astonishing what such a small amount of contact caused. He desperately wanted to know what it would feel like if there was more.

Both looked up when they heard Teddy calling for them.

Harry chuckled and started to make his way inside.

"Better go see what he wants, before he decides to pack all his toys."

Lucifer chuckled, following the wizard inside. It truly wouldn't surprise him if little Teddy tried to do something like that. The little boy was so mischievous.

He reminded Lucifer of Gabriel, his baby brother. He wasn't truly a baby anymore, but as the youngest of the Archangels he would always be Lucifer's baby brother.

He felt a pang in his heart when he thought about him. From what he could understand from the snippets of conversations he could hear from his brothers, little Gabriel had been missing since he was locked up. He was presumed dead.

It broke his heart to think of his mischievous, little troublemaker of a brother dead.

He had been the one who had taught Gabriel everything he knew. He had been the one Gabriel tried to emulate. He had been the one Gabriel was closest to.

He had been so hurt when his little brother hadn't sided with him. It had angered him more than Micheal locking him up in that cage. It took him eons to realize that he hadn't been angry at Gabriel – he had been heartbroken. The one brother he thought would always be with him had turned his back on him. That had just made him hate humans more. At that time he had blamed humans for everything, what was one more thing?

Only now was he realizing how much he had hurt his little brother.

He could only hope that Gabriel was alive, and that one day his brother would be able to forgive him.

A small blue haired missile ran into him, bringing him out of his thoughts.

Teddy grinned up at him, emerald eyes flashing to sapphire.

"Daddy told me to ask if you're ready."

"I am." He picked up Teddy, the child giggling and leaning on his shoulder.

His Father had been really thorough when he gave him a body. In the pocket of the jeans he had woken up in he had found a shrunken trunk filled with clothes. Apparently his Father had wanted to make sure that he had everything he needed.

Harry stumbled into the room, his hair a complete mess, and threw a small glare at Teddy.

"I take it the little hellion did something?" Lucifer was trying his best to hide his smile. He figured he wasn't that successful when Harry's glare shifted to him. It was rather cute. Harry looked like an adorable little kitten. And he would never speak those words out loud. He was sure that Harry would gladly castrate him if the adorable, little wizard even suspected he had thought those words.

"If you take turning his room completely upside down, quite literally, then yes, the little hellion did something."

Lucifer's lips twitched.

Harry's glare darkened.

If Harry hissed Lucifer knew all would be lost.

Fortunately his manly bits were saved when Teddy perked up, a huge grin on his lips.

"Daddy! I did magic! Like you!"

Harry's dark eyes brightened instantly, and a soft smile lit his features.

"Yes, you did, sweetheart. In no time at all you'll be ready for a wand."

Teddy cheered, throwing his little arms around Lucifer's neck and hugging him as tight as he could.

"First time doing accidental magic?" Lucifer asked, following Harry into the floo room.

"No. It's the first time he actually realizes what he did. The first time was when he was a little over a year old and summoned his bottle from the kitchen counter."

"You must have been really proud." Lucifer smiled at the golden mop of hair that was tickling his neck, gently running a hand through the locks.

"I was. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't love Teddy any less if he couldn't do magic. Now though I can look forward to teaching him. I love magic, I'm happy I'll be able to share that with Teddy."

Lucifer smiled softly at the wizard.

"Teddy is lucky to have you as a father." He had wanted to tell that to Harry for years. He had always believed that Teddy couldn't have had a better father. He had known that from the bits of information Harry had given him in his prayers. But actually seeing it made him realize just how true it was.

Harry smiled at him, though his eyes were dark with grief.

Harry's hand ran through Teddy's messy turquoise hair. The child wrinkled his nose, but otherwise didn't wake from the light doze he had fallen into; exhaustion from running around most of the day finally catching up to him.

"I love Teddy with everything I am." Lucifer could feel the truth in those words. He knew that Harry would do anything for the child that was so trustingly sleeping in his arms. "I wonder if you would still think that I such a wonderful father if you knew that I wouldn't change a thing, even if it meant saving some people, just so that I could keep Teddy."

"I would," Lucifer replied, earning a wide-eyed look from Harry. "I know that no one could be a better father for this child. Even his birth father."

"Remus was a great man." Harry's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I'm not saying he wasn't, quite the contrary. I believe that he was a brave, kind man. He must have been to have your respect. That doesn't change the fact that you are a wonderful father to Teddy, and that the boy thinks that you could hang the moon and the stars."

"You should see him when he's with George." Harry grinned, previous mood pushed aside. "Teddy practically worships the ground he walks on."

"Oh?"

"It might be because George gives him sweets that turn him into an animal for various amounts of time."

Lucifer snorted, the image of a monkey popping into his mind. He remembered when Harry had prayed to him, sounding slightly frantic, about Teddy and monkeys. It had been all a jumbled mess then, now he finally understood what Harry had been on about.

"It isn't funny," Harry grumbled. "You try keeping up with him when he's a monkey, or a cat, or a squirrel. Squirrels are evil I tell you. Minions of the Devil."

Lucifer burst out laughing, waking Teddy in the process who looked around with sleepy eyes.

"Minions of the Devil?" Lucifer wheezed between laughs.

Harry nodded solemnly, taking Teddy from Lucifer when it looked like the man was almost doubling over from laughing.

Oh dear Father. Minions of the Devil? He couldn't remember creating them. His Harry sure had an active imagination. He wondered why Harry had never mentioned it while he was locked up, he would have enjoyed the laugh then.

He got himself under control, and found two sets of emerald eyes looking at him.

"Ready to go?" Harry asked, making his way towards the Floo.

He nodded, stepping right beside the wizard.

"You'll need to Floo with me, otherwise you won't get passed the wards. We..." Harry cleared his throat, the lovely blush Lucifer adored spreading on his cheeks. "You'll have to hold onto me, since my fireplace isn't that large."

Lucifer's grin was nothing short of lecherous, and that delightful blush spread to the tip of Harry's ears.

"I'm sure we'll be able to squeeze."

He chuckled when Harry stuttered an incoherent reply and stepped into the Floo, Lucifer half a step behind him.

As soon as they were in the Floo Lucifer wrapped his arms around the slight body and pulled him close.

The feel of having Harry in his arms, of feeling that small, warm body pressed against his own was better than anything Lucifer had ever felt.

This, this was Heaven. This was worth falling for. This was worth losing his wings.

He knew he had become a slave to the feeling. He would do anything in his power to be able to hold Harry once again. He could destroy anything that stood in his way.

The chatter between his brothers was increasing; and he knew that, no matter how much it may hurt him, he would smite every single one of his brothers if they made him lose Harry.

Emerald fire engulfed them, and Lucifer tightened his arms around the fragile body.

Nothing would take him from Harry's side.

Sam and Dean were sitting in Bobby's kitchen, both of them looking at a little lost.

Just what the hell had happened? Well, they knew what happened. The freaking caged had opened, and now Lucifer was walking the Earth – which was just fantastic. But the thought that they had started the Apocalypse was just too much to take.

The freaking Apocalypse.

Dean sighed, and shook his head. They were in a tonne of shit.

How were they meant to make it out of this one? Yeah, sure he may bluster about it being just another thing they needed to gank, but come on! It was the freaking Devil! Even he was a little freaked out.

"I have news."

Dean almost jumped out of his seat, when he heard the monotone from right behind him.

"Jesus, Cas!" he took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart. "Don't just pop up like that. One of these days you'll give me a heart attack."

Castiel, clueless angel that he was, just tilted his head.

Why? Why were they stuck with the socially retarded angel? Well... on the bright side, he was much less of a dick than his feathered brothers.

"You said you had news?" Sam brought the conversation back on track. Dean hated seeing the guilt in his brother's eyes. Why hadn't Sammy just listened to him? Why had he picked a demon bitch over him? Things could have been so different if he hadn't.

"Lucifer is missing."

One heartbeat.

Two heartbeats.

"What?" Dean looked at the angel incredulously. "What do you mean missing? How can the freaking Devil be missing?"

"We do not know. One moment every living supernatural being could feel him, and the next he was gone."

"Gone? As in kidnapped?" he didn't need Sam's bitch-face to know that that had been a dumb question.

"We do not know," Castiel replied anyway. He would have to introduce the angel to the meaning of sarcasm, and rhetorical, and a host of other things. When it came to humans the angel had no clue about anything at all it seemed. "It is a possibility."

That froze both brothers.

"What?"

"I said it was a possibility."

"There are beings out there strong enough to kidnap the Devil?" Sam, asked in a half strangled tone, and just this once Dean wouldn't hold it again him, because, holy shit, there was something out there that could kidnap the Devil.

"Yes." And Dean absolutely loathed how matter-of-fact Castiel's reply was. Because, of course, there had to be something even bigger and badder than the Devil out there.

"Who could do that?" Sammy was always one to ask the right questions.

"God."

"God?" Dean didn't even try to mask his incredulity. "As in God? You think God kidnapped the Devil?" Yeah, because things hadn't been crazy enough already.

"No. Samuel asked what could. I gave a possibility."

Dean sighed, and slumped on his chair. Dealing with socially inept angels was a chore. He didn't think he had ever been as frustrated in his life.

"What happens now?"

"Both my brothers and the demons are trying to find Lucifer. Without him there can be no Apocalypse. They will not rest until they find him. There is also the possibility of Lucifer simply binding his time, waiting for the opportune moment to strike."

Dean grunted. He didn't like either of the possibilities.

If the Devil had been kidnapped they would have to deal with something powerful enough to kidnap him. If dear, old Lucy was just biding his time then Dean didn't even want to think about what sorts of evil things he was up to.

It was official. Lucifer absolutely loather Floo travel. Only the fact that he had his little wizard in his arms stopped him from showing his displeasure at the whole thing.

He would have liked it much better if they had simply flown over. He hadn't stretched his wings in a long while, and he was sure that Harry would have enjoyed it too.

They stumbled out of the Floo, his arms around Harry being the only thing that kept the wizard upright.

"Unca Harry!" a tiny voice shrieked, just before they were tackled by a tiny blonde missile; risking their already precarious vertical position.

Harry chuckled, pulling slightly away from him, though not completely leaving the circle of his arms. Teddy was handed over to him, while Harry picked up the little girl.

"Hello, princess."

The child beamed at Harry, giving him a sloppy kiss on the cheek.

Lucifer chuckled. Harry looked adorable with a child in his arms. He wished he had been able to see Harry with baby Teddy. He was sure that he would have fallen in love the moment he saw it.

His chuckle brought the attention of the girl to him, and her eyes widened.

"So pretty," she murmured. "Like a prince."

Teddy's arms tightened around his neck, and a glare, that was more of a pout, formed on his features.

"No! Lucifer is my friend! He can't be your prince."

He saw Harry's lips twitch, and glared at him. Really it wasn't funny. He was Lucifer! He shouldn't be fought over by two children who wanted to play with him. Oh dear Father, he was so thankful that none of his brothers were around to see this. He would never live it down.

"Mummy! Teddy's being mean!" Harry winced at the loud shout, and even Lucifer twitched slightly. The child sure had a pair of lungs on her.

"I am not!" Teddy wiggled from his arms, wanting to be let down, while the little girl did the same with Harry.

Rolling his eyes Harry let the little girl go, and Lucifer followed his example.

As soon as their little feet touched the floor they were gone, screaming loud enough to wake the dead.

Other voices joined in, and a hoard of red-heads started to pop up from all around the place. In the cacophony that followed in their wake he caught Harry's eyes. The wizard just smiled at him, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Welcome to the Burrow."

A.N.: Hello all. I'm sorry about how short the chapter is. I lost the original one just a few hours before the deadline due to computer problems, so to meet the deadline of the competition I wasn't able to write a longer one. Though don't worry. There is nothing missing from the chapter. I just stopped a little earlier than in the previous version of it. That part will be added onto the next chapter. Even though it's short I hope you still enjoy it.

Thank you all for reading. You have been amazing. I swear the next chapter will be longer. Next chapter we'll have Harry realizing that he's attracted to Lucifer, a little freak out on his part, and then he will try to seduce Lucifer. Lucifer will find the entire thing quite funny.
