"Murphy… I am gonna find your soul, drag it down to Hades, let him torture you for a few days, then drag whatever's left of it down to the deepest darkest pit in hell, let you experience a few days of immense torment, and finally obliterate whatever's left of it after that personally." Thought Lilith darkly as the announcement for the Triwizard-Tournament was made in the great hall of Hogwarts on the evening of the 1st of September, with a frown on her face. As her irritation started to rise, she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder, which promptly caused her to whip her head towards the person touching her. Which turned out to be one of her girls and fellow Gryffindor. Hermione Granger, her queen, longest genuine friend and (as of late) one of her two girlfriends. The other one being her bishop, Luna Lovegood. The Devil/Hellcat-hybrid's obvious expression of concern for her girlfriend and king caused the Devil/Reaper-hybrid to calm down rather quickly and rest her head on her girlfriend and queen's shoulder. "We'll be sharing tonight, right?"
"Of course and quite frankly, I don't really care at this point whether Luna join us or not. Should that be considered a bad thing?" Asked Hermione as she was genuinely curious about it, while also giving in to her king's request due to the rather pleading tone in Lilith's voice, finding herself unable to deny her girlfriend and king.
"Don't know and don't really care." Exclaimed Lilith happily as she wrapped her arm around her girlfriend and queen's waist, while still resting her head on her queen's shoulder.
"Of course you don't, you're a Bael." Exclaimed the queen of the British Peerage in a tone somewhere in between amusement and a deadpan, which did pretty much nothing other than making her king giggle, a sound that the Devil/Hellcat-hybrid couldn't help but find both adorable and endearing, a sound she wanted to hear more often.
"If I get dragged into this mess, I'm gonna barf. Okay, maybe not barf, but probably blow something or someone up." Deadpanned Lilith as she returned her attention to Dumbledore who had started explaining the rules of the tournament, causing her queen to laugh a bit at the idea.
"Agreed. No need to add this tournament to our schedule. You know, with the whole Devil-business."
"True enough. Now I just hope that you didn't just provoke Murphy." At that, Hermione just snotted, not really believing in such things, as the students of the other schools that would be participating in the tournament made their respective entrances, causing varying reactions from the two hybrids.
When the students of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, all of whom were girls, entered the great hall, Lilith couldn't resist staring at the girls. Despite the fact that she knew that her king refused to do anything more than look at the other girls, Hermione took it upon herself to snap her girlfriend and king back to her senses, by ramming her elbow into her king's side (which worked by the way). The students of the Durmstrang Institute, all of whom were male, however didn't cause anything more than making Lilith mutter something among the lines of Showoffs, and making Hermione simply nod her head in agreement.
After the ceremony, the British Peerage headed off to their respective dormitories, not that the bishop would remain there for long. Popping up barely a minute after curfew and joining her fellow Devils in her king's bed. The only one wearing anything amongst the Devils being Hermione, who had been starting to wear less and less at night over the course of the summer, only wearing a set of underwear at night at this point, whereas the other two girls weren't wearing anything at all. Fully embracing each other's bodies in the nude.
Throughout the following days, the little harem spent most of their free time preparing the ritual used by Devils to gather naturally occurring magic in order to create and maintain the massive ward that was used to establish a large area as Devil territory, from within the Room of Requirement. After letting ritual gather and build up magic over the course of two weeks, it was time to put all that power to good use and erect the barrier, establishing Hogwarts and its surrounding area as Lilith's territory. The entire population of the area could feel the massive release of magic washing over them as the ward was erected. The wizards and witches merely registering the release of magical energy whereas the more magically attuned people, mostly the (part-)Veela of Beauxbatons, the House elves of Hogwarts and Hogwarts' Professor Flitwick, could feel a semblance of recognition of the nature of the magic. Demonic magic, the magic of the Devils.
While most people couldn't sense the difference in magical nature, those who could could be certain of one thing, the Devil or rather (as was more often than not the case) Devils were in the crowd, hidden in plain sight. And there was very rarely just one of them in the area if they had put in the effort to erect a demonic ward after setting up shop.
