When she moved closer to him, he realized he was vocal about her name.
He had to make sure she was okay, "Closer..." She seemed to hesitate, but she got closer to him, and his vision cleared enough to see her face, "Good... you're okay..."
"I'm oka - Lucifer, you - you've been pierced with large chunks of wood in at least four spots..." Hermione began to tear up as blood slowly poured from his mouth, 'He's been mortally injured, and the first thing he cares about is me..."
"L-Lucifer..."
'I'll do as you ask, go where you want me to.....'
Hermione cried into her palms.
He had been hit by the Writing Desk that he blew up: a large chunk of wood was impaled through his left shoulder; another piece was in his right leg, which Hermione figured might be through his femur; a third large piece was in his stomach, which was bleeding rather quickly; the fourth large piece was through the right side of his chest, likely into his lung, which Hermione figured was causing the blood to come from his mouth.
This wasn't counting the many small pieces in his arms, legs, torso, and face.
None of them hit his eyes, which Hermione was ever so thankful for.
'---In exchange, all I ask is that you protect Hermione.....'
Lucifer closed his eyes, hoping to go back where he belongs.
Hell....
To his surprise, nothing happened.
"The Coward....won't do it. Everyone... leave..." Lucifer said in a very dark tone, "Hermione can stay... if she wants..."
Molly was about to argue, but Sirius and Remus both quickly ushered her out.
Everyone but Hermione left with great reluctance.
"L-Lucifer?" He carefully raised a hand and his eyes were glowing red as he cut his shirt off his body, revealing the damage to be way worse than Hermione initially believed. "Y-you need to go to Saint Mungo's-"
"No... I can heal this... I just need some help... getting this wood out..." Lucifer said in a pained voice.
Hermione walked forward and carefully and slowly removed each piece of wood, one by one, when he told her to.
Hermione could only figure he'd read the Advanced Healing Magic book and would know what he was doing. With each piece of wood pulled from his body, he slowly moved his hand into each wound, and when he finished inside, he slowly moved his hand over each open wound, and it healed right before Hermione's eyes.
When his face, arms, and torso were done, he cut off his pants, leaving him in only his boxers.
Hermione was too worried about him to think much of it right then, pulling the wood slowly from his legs.
He healed each spot until his legs were good.
She noticed before he had begun to heal his legs at all the old looking wounds that were there, as there were many places that just didn't have any hair growing on them, 'What has he been through over the centuries? And, why only now I could see them.....'
Lucifer looked at his boxers, "You can turn around if you want..."
Hermione was about to turn around, but she steeled her nerves and stayed facing him, her cheeks already going red before he even moved his boxers down to check the damage down there.
When he did push them down to his ankles, Hermione saw his flaccid sex organ after a couple of weeks, which had been hit by some shrapnel.
His scrotum was okay, and that seemed to be his main concern as Hermione watched him carefully look over his private area.
Aside from concern for him, Hermione had a few things racing through her mind, 'I wonder if it has increased a couple of inches by now? ... the head is visible... if it weren't so serious right now... the things I'd offer to do to him' being main stuff on her mind.
Lucifer healed the minor damage he found down there and pulled his boxers back up.
He used Reparo on both his pants and shirt and put them back on with Hermione's help.
"Thank you... I don't think I could've done that without you..." he cupped her face and kissed her sensually and lovingly, none the wiser to the sexual tension Hermione was feeling.
Hermione kissed him back, a moan escaping from her throat, and they parted a moment later, "I love you," she whispered to him.
"I lo---Thank you, Hermione," Lucifer stopped mid-words, but it already made her stomach tingle with excitement, she blushed and smiled adorably at him.
He started to walk towards the door and was limping from his injuries; he might have healed them, but the pain lingered.
Hermione helped him to the door and he opened it to see everyone standing out there.
"Is Dinner still warm?" Lucifer asked humorlessly and pushed past them to go back down the stairs, not waiting for an answer.
They were all speechless, looking at Hermione as she shrugged and followed Lucifer.
She didn't know what happened, and she wasn't going to pressure Lucifer into telling her what happened.
She would let him talk at his own pace, it was the absolute very least she could do for him after all he'd done for her.
'He's gone through so much abuse in his lifetime... he deserves a break, he deserves some reprieve... and he deserves to be loved... I can at least make sure he has that last one,'
Hermione thought to herself as everyone followed them back down the stairs, muttering quietly about what happened inside that room, something they will never find out about.
