As time passed and September became October, the Devil/Reaper-hybrid known as Lilith Potter found herself feeling somewhere in between nervous and annoyed as the announcement of the champions of the Triwizard-Tournament was made. Nervous because of the chance that she would get dragged into this mess, and annoyed that if she did get dragged into this mess, it would cause severe interference with her and her Peerage's business, and she definitely didn't need nor wanted the stress of having to deal with both the tournament and Devil business.
The champions chosen for the visiting academies, Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and Durmstrang Institute, were a (part-)Veela by the name of Fleur Delacour, who for some reason kept sending Lilith and the members of her Peerage looks of suspicion, and a normal wizard by the name of Victor Krum, representing Beauxbatons and Durmstrang respectively. And the French girl quickly became a person of interest to the members of the British Peerage.
There were a few species in the Wizarding World that could sense the difference of magical natures, like whether or not the magic was demonic, tainted, holy, neutral or divine in nature. And the Veela was one of those species. While most of the Wizarding world was either ignorant or oblivious of the much larger Supernatural World (possibly both but mostly the former), most likely due to the fact that their pride prevented most of them to accept just how low in the metaphorical food chain they were in the Supernatural World.
As the announcement of the champions reached Hogwarts, Lilith's anxiety started spiking as the piece of pargament was spat out of the Goblet of Fire. The Goblet had chosen Cedric Diggory, a seventh year Hufflepuff, as Hogwarts champion. While she was glad that her name wasn't the one that was called out, it didn't do a thing to ease her nerves.
"I got a bad feeling about this." Muttered Lilith, mostly to herself but her girlfriend and queen, Hermione Granger (who was sitting next to her king), still heard her.
"Please, do try to relax a bit Lilith. There's no reason for the ceremony to-" Exclaimed the Devil/Hellcat-hybrid in an attempt to calm her girlfriend and king down, before cutting herself off as the Goblet of Fire's flame turned from blue to a pinkish red for a fourth time, spitting out a fourth name. The exclamation of the Devil/Reaper-hybrid's name earned the queen of the British Peerage a mild glare from her king.
"You just had to jinx it, didn't you?"
"Sorry, but come on! How the hell was I supposed to know that your name would be spat out of that bloody cup!?"
"… good point." Exclaimed Lilith as she reluctantly left her seat and joined the other champions in Hogwarts' trophy room. The members of the Devil/Reaper-hybrid's Peerage following their king with their eyes for as long as possible. The only one of them who's gaze wasn't fixed on Lilith's ass being the Sword-Devil of the Peerage, Ginny Weasley, who wasn't attracted by girls as far as the rest of the Peerage knew, or at the very least not to their king, unlike the cats of the group.
As the white-haired Devil/Reaper-hybrid entered the trophy room, she walked in on the other three champions having a conversation about something.
"Well, would you look at that? Speak of the Devil and they shall appear." Exclaimed the older girl she recognized as Fleur Delacour, a (part-)Veela. Based on the (part-)Veela's comment, the conversation must have been about either the shenanigans of previous years… or about Lilith herself. Which made the white haired girl raise an eyebrow in response to the rather odd greeting.
"Do the adults need us for something?" Asked Viktor Krum as he turned his gaze towards the pale purple eyed girl who just entered the room.
"Hi Lilith!" Exclaimed Cedric Diggory, adding his piece to the greeting, rather cheerfully in spite of his expression of suspicion.
"Hello to you two." Replied the Devil/Reaper-hybrid with a rather fond smile on her face. She could honestly say that she liked Cedric, in a way somewhat akin to an older brother or something close enough as the Hufflepuff had comforted her on the few occasions he had found her crying, usually after a worse than normal encounter with Malfoy and his goons. "And no, I'm not here to relay anything. I'm the reluctant candidate as the fourth champion in this tournament. Maou, why can't I have ONE YEAR withOUT being dragged into some kind of shenanigan?" At that complaint, Cedric winced in sympathy. While he wasn't personally involved in the various shenanigans of the previous years, he at least knew what she was talking about and understood where most of her annoyance came from. The other two champions were just confused about what the youngest person in the room was talking about.
It was at this point that the headmasters and the headmistress showed up, apparently having an argument about what Lilith suspected was her reluctant involvement in the tournament. Seeing as she was basically being ignored by the adults, Lilith snuck off amongst the many trophy cases, where she sat down and pulled out a sketchbook and pencil from… somewhere, and started (or rather continued) working on designing the costume she was planning on wearing when she was gonna deal with her business as a Devil. The idea of wearing costumes while dealing with Devil-business was originally Luna's idea, and Lilith liked the idea and managed to convince the rest of her Peerage to do the same, though she did also suspect that her girls also wanted to use the costumes as an excuse to wear skintight outfits and as a result get to stare at each other's bodies without the robes that was the school uniform obscuring anything… and possibly have a few rounds of the sideway tango… starting in the costumes. Another excuse (that actually had some merits) was that the masks, that were part of the costumes, would be enchanted to conceal their identities and make it impossible for people to reveal them as their costumed personas if someone somehow managed to make the connection between their costumed personas and their real identities.
Most members of the Peerage decided to have their costumes referencing their supernatural heritage, except for inny, who wanted her costume to essentially be a demonic version of a comic book character's costume, specifically the anti-heroine from D.C-comics, Katana, therefore being less original with her costume when compared with the rest of the Peerage. Luna's planned costume could probably be best described as a fusion between the Cheshire Cat and a female version of the Mad Hatter from the classic fairy tale Alice in Wonderland, complete with a long coat and a top hat along with a mask referencing the character Queen of Hearts. Lilith chose to mostly emphasize her Reaper-heritage in her costume, which was planned to be a skintight bodysuit with markings stylized like ribs and a pair of skeletal hands cupping her chest. Completing the look of a demonic reaper was a very dark blue hooded cloak and a white kabuki-mask depicting a Shinigami, a Japanese spirit of death. Like her king, the queen of the British Peerage planned on wearing a skintight bodysuit and a modified kabuki-mask depicting a cat. The main modifications being that a pair of different colored lenses would be integrated into the mask's eyes and that it would be painted in the same colors as the Two-Tailed Beast from the manga Naruto, as opposed to the typical white with red lines and details.
During the summer, the two felines of the British Peerage learned that the two of them possessed the power to transform into a completely feline form. This transformation was a natural ability that all members of the Nekomata-race and its subspecies possessed, and it wasn't the same as the Animagus-transformation. Various sources of research from the Devils' side explained that the Animagus-transformation basically allowed a magic-user change into their magic and soul's truest form. And the Animagus-transformation was something that any magic-user, regardless of species, could use. Unlike the wizards and witches of the Wizarding World, who used a very complexly brewed potion to gain insight on their Animagus-form, the Devils had a ritual that, while complex (but in a different way) like the Animagus-potion, achieved the same results after only a few days of preparation (mostly drawing the ritual-circle, inscribing the necessary runes and charging the ritual), whereas the potion required at least a month to brew. While most Devils however choose not to use the ritual, mostly due to pride, Lilith wasn't like most Devils and therefore didn't have any issues with using the ritual.
It was an interesting experience to say the least. While she only gained some insight on what her truest form was, she was definitely sure about one thing. Whatever her Animagus-form was, it would be massive and capable of moving through both water and the sky. And something told her that it was often a representation of one of the seven deadly sins.
