Hello sinners, I'm glad you enjoyed the Yule Ball in this chapter. Now we are going to focus on the coming task at hand. How will this change from canon? Season 2 of Helluva Boss has finished and what a season finale. Now let's answer some reviews.

Yami Luna Kitsune: Yeah, she usually isn't that physical with anyone, but I guess it may be the first time this has happened. Or she can do something else entirely. All fear the Mighty ENORMOUS FUCK YOU DRAGON. Yes, they are. I still need to add them in. He's a royal, he's got to look good for the crowd. Thank Carmilla too. Because of the classic pervert trait, that's why. Yes, he can. Luckily, Verosika knew how to tailor outfits. Victor…yeah… thanks, the songs were hard to pick. And Poor Hagrid.

Timesliger: Maybe we will. Those two have little interaction with each other. Out of everyone, Krum would want to know more since he made a deal with the master of webs. Carmilla owed Charlie a lot for helping Vaggie get a Crystal. Also, she did teach Harry and Charlie to dance and fight when Lucifer or Lilith were too busy. Also, the girls felt a little threatened by Fleur. Stepping into their territory flirting with their man. I'll make sure Leviathan shows up in this chapter since she is aquatic.

Gamelover41592: it was a hard call to make because I was looking through songs and thought just do a Christmas one, not too religious, and let Lilith sing it.

CaioCoia: Yeah, I will agree, that would get annoying fast. Thank Verosika for her tailor work and Carmilla for the dance lessons. I do want Leviatain, Aunt Levi, to have some time with Harry since she is a water demon and Sin of Envy. Harry does have a past with all seven sins.

Rio Skyron: It will be.

ric castle: I'm sure Vox will make something out of something waterproof to allow citizens of Hell to watch.

Keyblade Warrior: Stella is more behaved this time in this fic because of Harry's royal status and her daughter is dating him. As for Andrealphus, he is still a primadonna. Also nice idea for Verosika and Fleur.

Perseus12: Thanks, and yes, he is. I wanted to introduce Carmilla, a strict dance teacher who cares for her daughters. They both rock, I agree. And yes, Lilith is so lovely.* Deep sigh* Who knows what Heaven is doing now?

Kam McElveen: He will have his fill. Alastor: I'm in the mood for Toad Legs. Me: don't you mean frog legs? Alastor: I know what I said.

drake wind: Yeah I thought about it and since it was closer to the holidays, it would be best to post work on it and post it around this time (December).

Joanne Frances Tiano Cajilig: Thank you for your patience.

Princess Asuna: Funny how? They face Carmilla every time they want to ask out her daughters. Cause that would be! When he goes to Hell, he will be a sinner under Zeastial. Krum will know Harry's status afterward.

Bromega2477: I had to. It gives the chapter more flow to it.

Ndean192: That won't happen til late in the story. Also, Umbridge will have her comeuppance handed to her.

PAC13L: Not happening and like Harry said, a deal is a deal.

D00MK1NG: If he did, maybe.

Mslmob12: I had to add in Carmilla in somehow and this was the best way. Foreshadowing indeed.

Esmereilda: Like I said, I needed to make changes from Canon.

Darkfoxussamoth: I didn't get it, or maybe I thought it was spam. But I am not looking for an artist right now.

Guest: Chapters take time and effort. I need them to be good.

Puck627: Man that is a long review. Thank you. I was thinking of giving Lilith a hellish version of "Come All Ye Faithful" but my editor thinks that would be too much on the religious side so we both agreed on "A Merry Little Christmas" by Judy Garland. Harry is a Prince, so he needs to look his best. As for his glasses, well he inherited James' bad vision. I have pictures but I too bad fanfic dot net can't show images. I needed Carmilla to have a role since she is one of the Overlords supporting the Morningstars. You are Welcome. I'm sure Voxtech will have some special equipment that will show all of Hell. His Aunt Levy is the Sin of Envy and knows some tricks in the water. As for those others, I can't answer them, that would spoil the moment.

Boss Teal: I know it was, but we got Carmilla Carmine.

Scody1239: That trial may happen and it will be different if I get to it.

Fire Turtle: Huh? Also, I would like Lucifer to get that reaction from a dementor or that it dies.

Alona: The Sins are Aunts and Uncles to both Harry and Charlie. Except Lucifer, since he is the Sin of Pride and is their father. I will slowly add them in now that I know what they look like and their personalities.

Men behind the Masks: Thank you and if you didn't get the hint, no he will not have an animagus form. But he will have something else entirely later. But Sirius does have a more active role now since he is proven innocent.

From 1 Salas: Yeah… no. Ginny is not going to be part of the Harem. I'm changing that part. I said three was going to be my limit. I don't want to change the title to "Harry's Hellish Harem." I want to make it more storywise instead of it being a porno fic.

And with that, Let's dive into Hell!

Chapter 46: Deep Dive

After the Yule Ball, Harry continued to do his lessons. He did enjoy his lessons in Defense Against the Dark Arts with Professor Moody and he was as good as Lupin in the job and was very good on his Ancient Runes. Regarding Herbology, the class had to be cut short due to the cold affecting the greenhouse. Harry, Ron, and Hermione caught up with one another as they headed down to Hagrid's hut for Care for Magical Creatures. Ron hoped that the Blast-ended Skrewts would help warm them up with the cold weather. But when they got close to Hagrid's hut, they didn't see him. Instead, they saw Charlie teaching the class in his stead with the lesson involving their unicorns instead. Many of the girls 'ooo'd' at the sight of the unicorn before them and wondered how she got it to stay still with ease.

"How did she get it to stand still? Usually, they are hard to catch," Lavender Brown whispered to Pavati.

"As you can see, unicorns are rare to tame and keep calm. They are more friendly towards girls than boys," Charlie instructed the class. "So all the ladies can approach it carefully, it won't attack like Buckbeak, but still proceed with caution. After all, it's still a horse with a knife on its head."

The girls approached the unicorn cautiously as most of the boys stayed by the fence, either not wanting to partake because it felt girly or because they were understandably cautious of the knife-headed horse. Once Charlie was out of earshot, Harry thought to himself why Hagrid didn't teach the class and Charlie had to step in. Was it because he revealed himself as a half-giant to Maxime?

"If you're wondering where that big oaf is, Magne, I'm sure he is ashamed of himself," Malfoy told him with a sly smirk.

"What do you mean," Harry asked as the fourth-year Slytherin pulled a paper from his robes. Harry took the news parchment from Malfoy and opened it. Ron, Seamus, Neville, and Dean all leaned in to read it as well when they saw an article with Hagrid's picture moving around. The title of the article read: Dumbledore's Giant Mistake.

"Albus Dumbledore, eccentric Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardly has never been afraid to make controversial staff appointments. In September of this year, he hired Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody, the notoriously jinx-happy ex-Auror, to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, a decision that caused many raised eyebrows at the Ministry of Magic given Moody's well-known habit of attacking anybody who makes a sudden movement in his presence. Mad-Eye Moody, however, looks responsible and kindly when set beside the half-breed Dumbledore employs to teach Care of Magical Creatures. Rubeus Hagrid, who admits to being expelled from Hogwarts in his third year, has enjoyed the position of Gamekeeper at the school ever since Dumbledore secured the job for him. Last year, however, Hagrid used his mysterious influence over the headmaster to secure the additional post of Care of Magical Creatures teacher, over the heads of many better-qualified candidates. An alarmingly large and ferocious-looking man, Hagrid has been using his newfound authority to terrify the students in his care with a succession of horrific creatures while Dumbledore turns a blind eye. Hagrid has maimed several pupils during a series of lessons that many admit to being 'very frightening' as they handle beasts far beyond their understanding," Harry read aloud, seething in rage as he got to the end.

"What a load of shite," Seamus exclaimed.

"Hagrid might teach us about scary creatures, but he's always been careful with them and us. Especially with Charlie helping," Neville said.

If Harry ever came across Rita Skeeter again, he would knock her teeth out. He was taught never to hit a woman unless they truly deserved it, which Harry absolutely believed from this malicious slander of his first friend in the Wizarding World.

"In a conversation with a Daily Prophet reporter last month, he admitted breeding creatures he has dubbed 'Blast-Ended Skrewts', which are highly dangerous crosses between manticores and fire crabs. The creation of new breeds of magical creatures is, of course, an activity usually closely observed by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Hagrid, however, considers himself to be above such restrictions. 'I was just having some fun,' he says, before hastily changing the subject. As if this were not enough, the Daily Prophet has now unearthed evidence that Hagrid is not - as he has always pretended - a pure-blood wizard. He is not, in fact, even pure human. His mother, we can exclusively reveal, is none other than the giantess Fridwulfa, whose whereabouts are currently unknown. Bloodthirsty and brutal, the giants brought themselves to the point of extinction by warring amongst themselves during the last century. The handful that remained joined the ranks of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, and were responsible for some of the worst mass Muggle killings during his reign of terror. While many of the giants who served He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named were killed by Aurors working against the Dark Side, Fridwulfa was not among them. It is possible she escaped to one of the giant communities still existing in foreign mountain ranges. If his antics during Care of Magical Creatures lessons are any guide, Fridwulfa's son appears to have inherited her brutal nature. In a bizarre twist, Hagrid is reputed to have developed a close friendship with the boy who brought around You-Know-Who's fall from power - thereby driving Hagrid's own mother, like the rest of the Death Eaters, into hiding. Perhaps Harry Potter is unaware of this unpleasant truth about his large friend - but Albus Dumbledore surely has a duty to ensure that Harry Potter, along with his fellow students, is warned about the dangers of associating with half-giants," Harry finished reading as his blood boiled with anger after reading the article. He knew Hagrid was a half-giant, but how did that woman know that? Only he, the girls, and Madame Maxine were there that night when he confessed.

"That should be enough for the oaf to get sacked," Malfoy snickered as Crabbe and Goyle joined in on his snickering.

Harry got even madder as he wanted to knock Malfoy out, but he knew of a better idea to make the prick piss himself. "Don't you remember my family's enormous fuck-you dragon, Malfoy," Harry reminded. Malfoy and his goons stopped laughing and looked to the skies as they knew Harry could call upon his pet at any time.

"What's going on here?" Charlie asked as she walked towards the boys as Harry mentioned their pet dragon.

"Sis, you might want to look at this," Harry said as he handed the paper to his older sister, who silently read it.

A minute of silence passed as Charlie finished reading the article. Her hair blocked her eyes, but the students could feel the anger steaming from her like she was surrounded by invisible fire. "THAT BITCH!" she yelled as she ripped the article in half and set it ablaze, looking like her eyes changed to a blood red in her rage. "Who gave you this," Charlie asked grimly.

"Malfoy," Harry pointed to the greasy-haired blonde as he and his Slytherins cowered before the teacher's assistant.

"Why is it that when I am around, you tend to cause a lot of trouble, Mr. Malfoy!?" Charlie shouted to him and his goon of Slytherins. "I am deducting 10 points each from Slytherin who laughed at Professor Hagrid's misfortune and Detention for the lot of you! You'll be cleaning the unicorn stables with no magic! Or gloves!"

This frightened all of Slytherin as they got a majority of points taken away from them and they will be shoveling unicorn shit with nothing but a shovel. This made Harry and the others smirk at Malfoy and his misfortune, but they didn't want to start laughing as they knew that Charlie might turn to them and share the same fate. After their Care for Magical Creatures were done. Harry made sure to stay behind. "Hey, Sis… about Hagrid… is he-"

"He's been upset all day, Harry. As soon as I got to his Hut, he didn't open the door for me and told me to take over the lesson instead," Charlie explained as she brushed the unicorn's silverly white mane. "I thought he had a bad night last night, but you showed me that article. Now I realize that bitch won't stop bothering anyone close to us," she said as this made Charlie's sclera turn red from the anger she was realising within her. The unicorn nickered and got scared of the Princess of Hell. Charlie calmed herself as she breathed in and turned back to normal. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," she said as she petted the unicorn. "I'm gonna call Mom and Dad. I'm sure they will want to see this article as well."

"I agree," Harry seconded that notion as Charlie took out her Hellphone and called her parents.

"Hello?" Lilith answered on the other side.

"Hi, Mom… did you happen to see the new article in the Daily Prophet?" Charlie asked over the phone.

"No. Did that bitch write about Harry again?" The Queen of Hell asked with a serious dark tone.

"No, she wrote about Hagrid," Charlie said over the phone.

There was silence as Lilith clenched her phone, and tightened her fist up. "Honey, we're tearing that bitch's soul apart," she called out to Lucifer as he was straightening his shirt up.

"Should I get the hedge clippers," Lucifer asked while looking in the mirror.

"If you want," Lilith told him. The Queen of Hell now paid attention to the phone. "Don't worry, sweetheart. me and your father will handle that bitch. You go and comfort Hagrid and tell Harry we love him."

"He's right next to me. Would you like to talk to him?" Charlie asked her mother. The Queen of Hell replied yes and put him on the phone. Charlie turned to her little brother and held out the phone. "Mom wants to speak to you," she said.

Harry took the phone and put it up to his ear. "Hello?"

"Hi, honey. how are you doing after the Ball," Lilith asked over the phone.

"I'm doing good until I read that article about Hagrid," the Prince of Hell told his mother.

"Don't worry, we have that covered. But enough about that, did you figure out the clue for that egg?" Lilith asked her son.

"I did. I'm supposed to submerge it in water and open it," Harry told her.

"Yes. The reason why the egg screeches is because it's the language of the Merfolk. Merfolk usually speak normally underwater, but when they surface, they sound like banshees screaming in your ear," Lilith told him on the phone. "That's what your Aunt Levi told me."

"I have to thank her when I see her," Harry said with a laugh.

"You will soon. She's actually coming along with Mammon," Lilith said.

"What!?" Harry said in shock. "You have got to be kidding me!"

"Are you raising your voice at your mother," Lilith asked on the other line with a dark tone.

"N-no… of course not, Mom…. I'm just surprised…. It's just… you know that Mamm… he's… um, well…" Harry said as he tried to find the right words to use.

"Yes, yes. I know. Out of all the Sins, he's my least favorite, too. After all, there is that legal conflict between your father and him in their theme parks," Lilith calmed herself as she knew what Harry meant. "But once you figure out the clue, I'll be sure you spend much more time with Levi. Bye, Honey."

As she hung up, Harry returned his sister's phone to her. "I guess you know who's coming."

"Yeah… I'm not thrilled seeing Uncle Mammon either. I still remember calling me a… you know," Charlie said as she was uncomfortable.

"Yeah, I know," Harry said as he was ready to return to the castle. But before he went back up, he needed to ask his sister for a favor. "Oh, Charlie, I need permission to use the Prefect bathroom since I need to submerge the egg."

"Bending the rules before you could break them. Lucky that you went to me first," Charlie said as she took out some parchment from her pocket and wrote something down for me with her signature. "That should do it." she handed the note to him, allowing him access to the Prefect bathroom.

"Thank sis, and hopefully you can cheer up Hagrid," Harry said to her as he headed back into the castle.

After finishing a few more classes, Harry headed towards the Gryffindor Common Room to get a bathrobe, a towel, and his pajamas before entering the Prefect bathroom. As he went he was stopped by Viktor Krum. The Durmstrang champion walked toward the Prince of Hell and he gave a cold stare. "I vant to have a vord with you."

"Can it wait? I need to head to my Common Room," Harry told him as he was going to pass him, but the Bulgarian blocked his path. Seeing that there was no way to escape this, Harry sighed and gave Krum a nod, saying that he would listen.

Krum walked Harry to a part of the castle he felt would be isolated and turned to Harry. "I… vant to know vhat-"

"Говоря български ако ви е по-удобно да говорите на родния си език, (I speak Bulgarian if you are more comfortable speaking in your native language,)" Harry told him as he spoke in Bulgarian.

Nodding as Krum felt more comfortable speaking in Bulgarian, he replied in his native tongue. "Искам да знам откъде си научил тази черна магия. (I want to know where you learned that dark magic from.)"

"Какво те кара да мислиш, че съм използвал тъмна магия? (What makes you think I was using Dark Magic?)" Harry asked as he had to play dumb for a bit.

"Познавам тъмната магия, когато я видя (I know Dark Magic when I see it,)" Krum scolds Harry as he looks at the fourteen-year-old with a glare.

Sighing and rolling his eyes, Harry told Krum what he needed to know. "Това е заклинание за призоваване. Всъщност призовавах един от домашните ми любимци. (It's a summoning spell. I was summoning one of my family pets.) Sebastian," he said. "Изглежда, че знаете за Тъмната магия, откакто я споменахте, (It seems you know about Dark Magic since you mentioned it,)" Harry asked with a raised brow towards the Bulgarian.

This made Victor take a step back and the confident Seeker darted his eyes around to say he had no idea what he was talking about. Seeing this, Harry spoke up once more. "Знам за вашата сделка. (I know about your deal.)"

"Vhat!?" Krum shouted but Harry shushed him. Krum did what the Prince of Hell asked him. "Откъде знаеш за сделката ми с дявола? (How do you know about my deal with the devil?)"

"Можете да благодарите на моето семейство и приятелки за това, (You can thank my family and girlfriends for that,)" Harry told him. "И не си сключил сделка с Дявола. Сключил си сделка с някой много убедителен. (And you didn't make a deal with the Devil. You did make a deal with someone compelling.)"

Krum was silent as no one knew about his deal with a demon, yet Harry, the Boy Who Lived, knew about it. He tells him that he didn't make a deal with the Devil himself, but he was a powerful demon who was compelling. "Тогава с кого сключих сделка? (Then who did I make a deal with?)"

"Името му е Zestial. Той е Демонът Повелител на информацията, (His name is Zestial. He's the Demon Lord of Information,)" Harry told him.

"Откъде знаеш това? (How do you know this?)" Krum asked him as he was now curious about Harry's knowledge.

"Ако ти кажа, че Дяволът ме е осиновил, ще ми повярваш ли? (If I told you the Devil adopted me, would you believe me?)" Harry asked him.

"...It vould seem impossible normally. However, I somehow believe you," Krum answered back.

"Alright. I talked with Zestial and convinced him to extend the time he has until he can claim your soul," Harry told him.

Krum wanted to argue why he couldn't get rid of his deal, but Harry must have a reason why he couldn't. Instead, he asked the next best thing. "How long do I have?"

"I would say until the end of July," Harry told him. "I suggest you do what you want now until your time comes."

Krum was very silent for a moment, but their conversation was interrupted by the clanging on the floor. Both champions turned around to see Mad-Eye Moody spotting them. "What's going on here?"

"Nothing important, Professor. Just having a little chat," Harry told his Dark Arts Defense teacher.

"I hope so," Moody growled. His good eyes glared at the Bulgarian, while his magical one swirled but tried to focus on him.

"Yes…. vhat he said… just a little chat," Krum assured Moody.

"Well, it seems like you don't need him now. How about letting him leave?" Moody asked while still eyeing him. Nodding, Krum allowed Harry to leave as he got his answers. Harry soon left as Moody trailed behind him. "Find the clue to the egg?"

"Yes, I did," Harry said to his Dark Arts teacher.

"Good. I'm rooting for you, Magne," Moody told him.

After getting all he needed, Harry started to bathe in the pool-sized tub in the middle of the floor. "Must be nice being a Prefect," Harry told himself as he entered the water. Harry looked at the golden egg he had and lowered it into the water. Taking a deep breath to himself, Harry submerged himself in the water as he pulled the top of the egg. Instead of the banshee-like screeching he usually heard, he heard an enchanting song.

"We can not sing above the ground,

And while you're searching ponder this:

We've taken what you'll sorely miss,

An hour-long you'll have to look,

And to recover what we took,

But pass an hour- the prospects black,

Too late it's gone, it won't come back."

After breaking up for air, Harry coughed back to the surface after hearing the message under the water. "So it is merfolk like Mom said," he told himself after a few coughs. "But something that they will take? What does that mean? But I'll be going into the Black Lake on the Second Task. And I have a time limit of an hour. Retrieve what I get from them for an hour or lose it. It's a good thing Aunt Levi could help me. Maybe I could find something here to help me breathe better underwater instead of that Bubble Charm," he thought out loud. He sighed to himself as he knew what was to come tomorrow. But since he was already in a bath, he might as well use it to get clean and think of something.

That night, Rita Skeeter was heading back into the Three Broomsticks as she finished her newest article. As she walked, she started to hear a faint growling sound. She stopped in as her feet were inches in the snow. She looked around, but saw nothing coming her way. The blonde witch continued on her way before she heard the growling become louder. She stopped and turned around again, getting a little scared. "Who's there," she asked aloud, pointing her wand out. Suddenly, two giant shadows appeared out of nowhere and stomped before her.

"Rita… Rita…" The giants said as they were about to stomp on her. "Rita lies!"

"Get back! Stupefy!" she shouted as her wand shot out red sparks to stun the shadows, but the spell did nothing. "What the-"

Suddenly, the shadowed giants began to open eyes that were scattered all over their bodies like the giant Argos in Greek myth. "You'll pay for attacking us, bitch," the two shadows said in unison as they opened their mouths to show rows of razor-sharp teeth.

Panicking, Rita ran as fast as she could from the snow and never looked back. "Giants! Giants!" She shouted to the people in Hogsmeade she ran for safety. Many witches and wizards looked behind her, but they didn't see anything. The residents in the village looked at her with disappointed looks on their faces and pointed off to the side. Rita turned to look in the direction she bolted from and expected to see the monsters she witnessed, but there was nothing there. "I saw them. They were shadowy, had dozens of eyes, and they were gnashing their sharp-looking teeth," she told the villagers. However, none of them believed her and thought she lost it. "You have to believe me!"

"Yeah right!"

"Go write that in your article!"

"Crazy bitch!"

The villagers said as they went back to what they were doing. Rita questioned what she saw, and why giants appeared and disappeared into thin air. But for now, she needed to get to her room in the inn.

As the witch went to the Three Broomsticks, Lucifer and Lilith were not too far away. "That bitch may never learn her lesson," Lilith said as she held onto the copy of the article Rita Skeeter was about to write and incinerated it in the palm of her hands, letting the ashes scatter in the cold winds. "But making her look crazy is so much fun."

"And possibly getting her fired," Lucifer laughed.

"What did you replace her article with," The Queen of Hell asked her husband.

"Nothing special. Just an article about how Fudge has a fat saggy butt he likes to scratch every hour on the hour," Lucifer told her. This made the Royal couple laugh. "Hahaha! Oh, I feel like I'm Harry when he was 9. I'm so bad."

"Yes, you are, my little bad duck," Lilith said. "Now let's get back, Levi and Mammon will be here by tomorrow."

"Ugh… Why did it have to be Mammon? Why couldn't it be Bel," Lucifer asked out loud. "I would even take Satan and let him use me as a punching bag."

"Well, I'm sure they'll come at the Third Task. It would be a treat to have all 7 Sins in one place on Earth. I just hope Heaven won't interfere if they notice," Lilith said a little worried about that.

"If that's the case, I'll tell Michael, Sera, and Dad that we are just all here for a cheering event and nothing more," Lucifer told her holding her hand and giving it a tight squeeze.

Lilith couldn't help but smile at him as she returned the squeeze. "I love you, Luci~"

"And I love you, Lily," The Devil said, kissing her as they walked to the Hogshead Inn. "I hope Harry found that clue out."

"I'm sure he knows by now. It's a matter of how he will task it," Lilith said hand in hand with her husband.

And I believe that is where we will end it, folks. A little short, but I wanted to get the point of Krum and Harry's conversation and for Harry to get a clue about the Second Task. Leveiatain and Mammon will show up next chapter, but we will focus a little more on Levi than Manny and see what I pull up for her personality with her two faces. Yes, they will have human disguises. And yes, Levi will have one head. Also thanks to WaterDragonMavrick for the Beta Reading, editing and suggestions as always and I will see you all in Hell!
