Chapter 228: Ch 249 - Eggs & Sausage ~Sucking~
"Er- is it my eyes, or has everything gone green?" Ron asked, but it wasn't his eyes; everything had gone green with thick rows of shamrocks.
Before they got very far into the Irish supporters tents, they all four heard their names from behind them.
"Harry! Ron! Hermione! Lucifer!" voice of one Seamus Finnigan.
Seamus was sitting in front of his own shamrock- covered tent with a sandy-haired woman who had to be his mother, and his best friend at Hogwarts, Dean Thomas.
"Like the decorations? Ministry ain't too happy about them," he said with a shrug.
"Ah, why shouldn't we show our colors?" His mother asked, "You should see what the Bulgarians have got dangling all over their tents. You'll be supporting Ireland, of course?" She asked and they all assured her they were.
She looked at Lucifer, "Very nice to meet you," she extended her hand and he shook it politely.
"Nice to meet you as well, Mrs. Finnigan," Lucifer also greeted back politely.
She gave him a look that told him all he needed to know.
She was trying to keep her excitement in, but she was struggling.
They soon walked away to get back on track, "Like we'd say anything else in that area..." Ron said with minor disgust.
"I mean, I'm supporting Ireland anyway. No way I'd support Bulgaria," Lucifer said, not looking at Ron as he spoke.
"I wonder what the Bulgarians have dangling on their tents?" Hermione asked thoughtfully.
"Who cares except maybe Weasely?" Lucifer asked her, again without looking back.
"Well, we are going to find out in a moment anyway," Harry said, pointing up just a little off to their right, "their tents are coming up on the right."
Their tents had not been bedecked with plant life, but each and every tent had the same poster attached to it, a poster of a very surly face with heavy black eyebrows.
The picture was moving like all Wizarding pictures did, but all the man in it did was blink and scowl.
"Krum," Ron said quietly.
"What?" Hermione asked, giving him a look.
"Krum!" Ron got excited, "Viktor Krum! The Bulgarian Seeker!"
"He looks really grumpy," Hermione said, looking around at the many Krum posters all scowling at them.
"You think they'd all be mad if I just torched all of these posters to stop that stupid scowl?" Lucifer asked quietly.
"You will do no such thing, because it would only cause a riot!" Hermione said with her bossy tone that Lucifer oddly missed hearing.
"Could be fun, though," he said with a smirk, but relented and decided to not do it.
"Who cares what he looks like? He's unbelievable, he's really young, too. Only just eighteen or something. He's a genius, you wait until tonight, you'll see," Ron said excitedly.
"No, Hermione is a genius. Krum, he's - he's-" Lucifer stared at the poster with a growing detestable opinion for the guy, "he looks like the kind of guy who would throw a tantrum if he didn't get his way."
Hermione was busy looking off to the side to hide her reddening cheeks.
"What?" Ron asked, looking as though he'd just been slapped in the face.
"I don't see what you see, Weasely, that's all there is to it," Lucifer shrugged and walked towards the already long line for the tap.
Hermione got in behind him, with the other two doing the same.
There was a pair of men in front of them having a heated argument.
One of them was a very old wizard who was wearing a long, flowery nightgown.
The other was clearly a Ministry wizard and he was holding out a pair of pinstriped trousers; he looked about ready to cry from exasperation.
"Just put them on, Archie, there's a good chap. You can't walk around like that, the Muggle at the gate's already getting suspicious-"
"I bought this in a Muggle shop," Archie said stubbornly, "Muggles wear them."
"Muggle women wear them, Archie, not the men, they wear these," the Ministry Wizard said, holding the pinstriped trousers out for Archie to take and wear.
"I'm not putting them on!" Archie said in indignation, "I like a healthy breeze 'round my privates, thanks."
The next thing Lucifer heard was giggling, lots of giggling behind him.
He turned and saw Hermione holding her stomach, lurched forward, with a hand covering her mouth as she giggled uncontrollably.
"I'm gonna take her over there," Lucifer said to Harry and Ron."You two get the water."
Then moved Hermione over next to a bunch of tents, where she fell over onto the floor and started rolling around and wheezing.
"Hermione, are you okay? Do I need to call St Mungo's?" Lucifer laughed.
Through Hermione's laugh he made out the words 'breeze' and 'privates' before he decided to pull Hermione to her feet and return to the other two.
She started to calm down on the walk over, but it started up again when Archie walked past them.
"Maybe, I should use opposite of the Cheering Charm....."
It forced Hermione to shut her mouth in an instant, not wanting to look like a crying girl with a huge frown.
Lucifer had lifted the now heavy water containers with ease and moved back at a casual pace.
On the way back, they saw a few familiar faces from Hogwarts, current and past students like Oliver Wood, who dragged his parents over to meet them, telling them that Lucifer and Harry were the reason for winning the Quidditch Cup a few months ago.
His parents, as expected, acted differently upon seeing Harry, but more so upon seeing Lucifer.
He was polite about it all, but he inwardly loathed every second, 'Damn you, Trelawney.'
After seeing Oliver, they saw Ernie MacMillan, whose parents, Lucifer could tell, were asking about 'the boy with Merlin's blood'
Upon being told, they waved back eagerly.
Lucifer gave a simple wave and sighed upon being out of their sight.
After Ernie, they came across Cho Chang, the Ravenclaw Seeker that Lucifer faced off against last school year.
Hermione saw her smile and waved at Harry, who waved back awkwardly.
Ron then got their attention with a group of teenagers he didn't recognize, "Who do you reckon they are? And what school do you reckon they go to?"
"I'm not sure, it could be anywhere in Europe, or North America," Hermione answered.
They managed to finally make it back, with only a couple more incidents of someone recognizing Harry or Lucifer.
He really wanted to know what that Prophet article said about him, but it was forgotten about when they finally made it back to an unlit fire.
"What the ruddy hell?" Lucifer asked in an irritated tone.
"Ah, you're back," they heard George ask, "you've been ages."
"Met a few people," Ron said as Lucifer set the water down, "You not got that fire started yet?"
"Dad's having fun with the matches," Fred said, irritated.
Arthur, upon one glance from Lucifer, was indeed having fun with the matches.
Every time he got one to light, he dropped it in surprise.
Lucifer sighed in exasperation; if it hadn't been for Hermione intervening and helping Arthur with the matches, he would have pulled his wand out and lit it himself.
He couldn't understand why it would be so easy for some Muggleborns to adjust quickly to magic, or in Harry's case, not being exposed to it until he was of age.
But Pureblood Wizards, had trouble with simple Muggle things.
When the fire was finally lit, they still had to wait an hour for it to warm up enough to be able to cook anything.
"All because Mr. Weasley was playing with the matches," Lucifer voiced inside his tent with Hermione, who had followed him in.
Her first order of business had been to look at the books on his bookshelf, just to see what was available.
"Give him a break, he's never had to do it before," Hermione said.
"And that's the problem. He knew we were going to be camping out, he knew we'd have to do Muggle camping techniques to blend in. But, man came so unprepared, and I imagine all other Purebloods are the same," Lucifer said with a slight edge to his voice.
"You're not the same..." Hermione pointed out with a smile, and kissed his cheek to get his mood better.
About an hour had passed doing a bit of snogging, both now walked back out to rejoin the Weasley's in time to see Harry putting some eggs and sausages on a pan over the fire.
