Mathew looked around at the people staring at him, „what", he said, „well Mathew, you have to understand that we are surprised, tell us please what where you thinking and how the hell, sorry, did you get involved with the lord of hell himself at such a young age", Dumbledoor said, Mathew looked ashamed to the ground, then he looked up at Dumbledoor, „well, you know back then i hated this place, i hated the people, but most of all i hated you", Mathew paused, „keep going", Dumbledoor said, „i was so full of hatred, that i wanted to take over this place and join Voldemort, um i mean you-know-who, to take over the world", Mathew looked around, he saw frightened faces, he sighed, „anyway, i found a spell book in the forbidden part of the library, i looked for a spell that would make me powerful, i had no clue that it was a summoning spell, suddenly Lucifer stood before me", he said, „it´s hard to explain, so let me show you the scene, please make room in the middle", he said, the students moved aside and Mathew flicked his wand and a scene appeared:
„So what do you want from me child", asked the devil, „i want power to take over this place and the world", Mathew said, „i see you are full of hatred, before i give you the power you seek, tell me: why are you full of hatred", the devil asked, „i-i-i-i hate my life, i have no real friends, my father gives a fuck about me, the headmaster is always up my ass, the teachers are mean to me, i want to kill everyone, i want to join the dark lord to take over the world", he explained then the scene paused, „that wasn´t the reason why i was so full of hatred, the real reason was that i was just a selfish idiot and Lucifer knew", the other Mathew explained, then the scene started again:
„Let me show you two possible futures", Lucifer said, the scene changed, everyone looked horrified at what they saw: they were staring at burning houses, corpses of people especially children, the heads torn off, the ruins of Hogworts, Lord Voldemort standing over Harry Potter laughing, behind him a scared looking Mathew, who was covered in blood.
„So, i kill Potter and everyone", Mathew asked, „yes, you will also kill your own parents", the devil said, „that is horrible, please stop", Mathew said starting to cry, „here is the second future", the devil said, and the scene changed again:
This time everyone looked at, healthy green grass, Hogworts and laughing and playing children, then they saw a boy sitting alone under a tree, sobbing, then they noticed four people coming up to him, they recognized Harry, Draco, Ron and Hermonie, „yo, what´s wrong", Harry said, „i-i-i feel so lonely nobody wants to play with me, everyone hates me", sobbed Mathew, „fuck them, listen you want to hang out with us", Harry asked, „hang out with Griffindoors", Mathew asked, „not all of us were Griffindoors", Draco said, „i was a Slitherin", Mathew thought about it, 'they are the first people who actually talked to me', then he smiled, „yeah, i´d like to hang out", he said, he got up and all five run off and the scene changed back to the library.
„Your decision", the devil said, the scene then vanished. „So what future awaits us", Dumbledoor said, „well, i was truly shocked at how brutal Voldemort is, and i knew the second future was a trick, because Harry, Draco, Ron and Hermionie would be younger than me, but something told me to make a decision fast, so i choice the second future", Mathew said, „Lucifer then smiled, and said that he´d know how i would choose, he then said he´ll give me the power to protect people, even he is the devil and has a black heart and soul, blacker than Voldemort, he cares about people, well you know the rest", Mathew said, he looked up at the headmaster, Dumbledoor saw tears on the face of the child he once knew, „look at me i am a freaking demon, i have no friends, but i changed, i´m so sorry", he said, he felt a hand on his shoulder, „Mathew, you made the right decision, with your help we´ll defeat the dark lord", Harry said, „yes, but this isn´t the real me, my true form you saw, i lost my childhood, you don´t want to be friends with a demon and a grown one like me", Mathew said, „we don´t care, you´ve changed, you want to stop the dark lord, with that said, you have from this day on friends", Harry said and smiled, „but after i´m not needed anymore this body will vanish and me as the lord of hell can´t live in the human-world, only if i cast a strong spell to protect me", Mathew said, „i wish i´d never have done it", he sighed, suddenly the entire hall was rumbling and shaking, and a huge wall of flames erupted, there was loud clapping to be heard from the flames, „finally, you have learned the lesson i never have and you have said the words i have never wanted to say", and out of the flames stepped, the grownup Mathew aka Lucifer the lord of hell.
Everyone looked surprised, „what do you mean", asked the young Mathew, „yeah, explain", everybody said, „well, remember when i created you i told you that i use you as my eyes and ears only and that you´d never have a true reason to be", the older Mathew said, the younger Mathew nodded, „well that was a lie, the real reason i´ve created you was to live a normal life again someday, Lucifer thought it was a great plan, with each year all the good i´ve done all the positive energy i transferred into you, Lucifer is a being of negative energy, he´d die and so would i, so the plan was to transfer the energy into you, you grew stronger and stronger, i only waited for the right option to show you what it means to care, a lesson i never had learned without Lucifer", the grown Mathew said, „what are you saying", asked everybody, „isn´t it obvious", asked the other Mathew, „i´m going to live a normal life again, thanks to my younger self", he started to glow, everybody watched in amazement as the grown Mathew split in two people, the glowing stopped, „finally i have my own body back", said Lucifer, the demon stood next to the grown Mathew, „i have not much time, i´ll start to fade away and when i´m gone your eyes will stop glowing you´ll have blue eyes and you´ll keep the power, you are as strong as Harry", the grown Mathew said, as he was talking everybody watched as he begun to fade away, „use the power for good, help everybody destroy Voldemort, Lucifer will wait for him in hell, and believe me, he´ll give the asshole a hard time", he said, then he turned to Lucifer, „thanks for showing me the right way and for the second chance", Lucifer grinned, „Mathew, i didn´t do a thing, it was all you, oh by the way: you are always welcome in hell", he said, the grown Mathew nodded one last time then he was gone. As soon as the grown Mathew had vanished there was a loud thump, everybody looked to where the young Mathew had been standing, Mathew was now laying on the ground, he didn´t seem to breath, „Mathew", Harry said, he bent down and felt his pulse, „nothing", everyone looked at Lucifer, he was standing with his arms crossed, „give him a minute", the demon said, Harry who had is finger on Mathew´s neck suddenly lightened up, „i-i-i feel a pulse", he said, „Mathew, come on", he said, slowly Mathew´s eyes opened, he looked around, „so it really worked, i live again", he said, smiling weakly, „of course, i might be the devil but i tell the truth most of the time", Lucifer said, „thanks for giving me the second chance, now i can enjoy my childhood, that means if you are really my friend", Mathew said looking at Harry, „listen, if i wouldn´t be your friend i wouldn´t be kneeling next to you feeling your pulse, we are friends", Harry said, „make that all of us", the students roared, Mathew looked in disbelieve, then tears started running down his face, „thanks", he sniffed, Harry smiled and pulled Mathew to his feet, then they all looked at Lucifer, „thanks Lucifer for everything, first you saved my brother Draco, then you gave me a second brother, and you´ve brought back Mathew", Harry said, „pff, like i said, he had to learn his lesson, and he did, his heart and soul are pure white, he keeps a bit of my power, he´ll use it for the good, won´t you", Lucifer asked Mathew and Mathew nodded, then something hit him and he started to cry again, „b-b-b-but i have no place to live, my parents think i´m dead, they won´t take me in", Mathew said, Lucifer looked at Harry and Harry smiled as he understood, „Mathew, i already have two brothers, but i´d like to have three brothers", Harry said, „what", Mathew said eyes widening, „yes Mathew, you are welcome in my life and family, and i think Draco would love it to", Harry said, „of course", Draco said, Mathew couldn´t believe it, „thanks", he said and all three boys hugged, „lovely picture, Harry you are truly astonishing, if you ever need help, and that goes also for every single one of you, just call for me, from this day on you have the hell guarding your backs and watching over you, this i swear", Lucifer said, with a final smile and nod, the demon vanished into the wall of fire and again the flames sunk into the floor, Mathew looked around, it was so quite, suddenly all hell broke loose as all students rushed up to Mathew welcoming him to his second life, Mathew couldn´t believe it, „it took years for you to learn a important lesson, now you got the chance of starting over", Dumbledoor said, Mathew looked at his headmaster, „welcome back, Mathew Slitherin, but i guess that you are now a part of Harry´s family i should say, welcome back, Mathew Potter", he said smiling down at the boy, Mathew smiled back, „from this moment on i promise i will never be selfish again, i am a knew Mathew and i have friends, i couldn´t be happier, i can´t wait to start lessons", he said, „well that´s a first, someone who can´t wait to take lessons", Dumbledoor said and everybody laughed, „ok, now let´s get finally started with the feast, but first we have to do one last thing", Dumbledoor said, and a wizard brought the sorting hat, „we need to know what house you are in", he said, „it´s obvious, i´m in Slitherin", Mathew said, „i don´t think so", said Dumbledoor, Mathew put on the hat, „welcome back Mathew, you´ll be in the house GRIFFINDOOR", the hat bellowed, Mathew looked surprised, „welcome to Griffindoor, brother", Harry said, „thanks", Mathew said, „so everybody back to the tables and let´s start the feast", Dumbledoor said and that is what they did.
