Lucifer finally managed to escape hell with his ever loyal Demon Mazikeen. Both were checking out the sounds of Night pubs when suddenly Maze noticed something very wrong and shouted, "Lucifer, what the fuck?"
"Why are you suddenly shouting Maze? Can't you see those lovely ladies entering the pub, come on."
"Look at yourself, you are tiny like a small child!" Maze said between full of laughter.
"What nonsense are you insinuating Maze? Who is looking like a child? Oh bloody hell, what the fuck...?"
Meanwhile, Maze was holding her stomach to not collapse right there whereas on the other hand Lucifer looks like he is going to kill somebody.
"Stop laughing, Mazikeen, this is serious! We can't just stand here, mortals are looking at us like we are freaks or something? We should at least look like we belong here."
Nearly eleven years old Lucifer and his booze partner entered the local pub and ordered some vodka to calm their nerves. However, he was getting frustrated because the bartender was refusing him a drink.
"Is that your kid?" said some beautiful lady.
"Um, no I am just his guardian," Maze said looking at Lucifer.
"Well, whatever even though he is charming I am not into little kids. Come after a few years," she said and walked away.
"Stop flirting Lucifer or I will take you home this instant." Maze almost said all with a straight face and then started laughing again.
Lucifer's eyes started glowing red and she instantly stopped laughing and passed him a drink under the table, "Why does it taste like dragon shit?"
"Uh, because kids your age are not supposed to drink alcohol and that's why your taste has changed or something...."
"Well fuck, another thing dear o'l dad took away from me," Lucifer said dejectedly, "One day dad, I am going to make you pay for this. Is this also a part of your grand plan or some shit?!" he said looking at the ceiling.
"Come on we should get out of here, that bloke looks like he is going to kidnap you."
"Well, let him then I am itching to kill somebody," Lucifer said angrily.
"No, you are not going to kill anyone today, because we should book a place instead. Oh and give me money too, I don't have any," Maze looked expectantly at the Little Devil with a smirk on her face.
After a long sigh, "Here and at least buy me a non-alcoholic drink with that, alright?" And they walked out of the pub, to start looking for a hotel.
Nearly an hour passed, when Lucifer finally collapsed on the bed and went to sleep. Meanwhile, Maze changed her clothes and also jumped on the comfy bed.

An old Wizard by the name of Albus Dumbledore was sitting at his desk in Hogwarts.
The new school year was about to, and Harry Potter would be going to Hogwarts this year.
A tremendous event for sure, but that currently took a back seat in the Wizard's mind. His current focus was on the events that had transpired mere moments ago outside of the Castle Grounds.
His door opened and an older Witch by the name of Minerva McGonagall strode in, "You wanted to see me, Albus?"
"Yes, please have a seat," his voice was unusually calm.
But Minerva was still worried, which she didn't show often, "Albus, what happened?" She asked, sitting down across from him.
"The book has shown that name again, Minerva," he lifted his eyes from his desk to look at her.
"The name, Albus?" She still wasn't grasping what he was getting at.
"Morningstar," Albus said, his eyes twinkling.
"You mean that Seventh year boy whose name appeared in the Book of Admittance decades ago?" Minerva asked in a worried tone.
"Indeed, it was a huge mistake on my part. If I'd tried harder, maybe we could have found him then... but we can't change the past and now we must ensure that his son gets the chance to study at Hogwarts. The boy goes by the name, Lucifer and to my understanding, he's Ten years old and will be turning Eleven in or...." Albus sighed, which he didn't do often, "I'm not sure about his age, even the book doesn't know", he informed her.
"What do you want me to do, Albus?"
"I've heard rumours of that young boy's father performing magic, with his eyes turning red. And it is likely, that his son may have inherited them. Think for a moment, how rare is it that a Wizard's eyes physically change to glow red?" Albus asked.
"I've certainly never heard of any Witch or Wizard that had glowing red eyes when performing magic," she explained.
Albus opened a drawer on his desk and pulled out a book. He pushed the book over to Minerva, "Open it to page 139."
She opened it to the page he said to and read a passage about one of the oldest Noble Wizarding Families in existence, "Merlin?" She looked up at him, confused.
"It's not widely known, but when Merlin performed wandless magic, his eyes glowed red. He very rarely used wandless magic because of this. A Wizard Historian had the honor of getting permission from Merlin himself to detail it in a Biography of the Greatest Wizard the world has ever known."
"Merlin's descendants amassed large sums of wealth over the centuries. And if those rumours are right about those eyes, Young Lucifer is quite well off as far as money goes. I dare say he's the richest Wizard in the world right now."
"Does the book mention anything about who his parents could be?" Minerva asked.
"No. We don't know who his parents are, besides the fact his father's name appeared in The book of Admittance decades ago but we couldn't locate him. It's like he just vanished from the planet itself. But we must correct our past mistakes, Minerva" Albus said, explaining their situation.
"Do you have the address, this time?" Minerva was getting a bit impatient as Dinner would be starting soon and she was right famished.
"That boy's family could be the only blood left of Merlin himself." Albus said, still distracted by the possibilities.
Minerva was in awe, her hunger forgotten for a moment, she coughed "Just give me the bloody parchment, Albus!"
"Right, we don't want him to enroll somewhere else. I believe his time learning magic could be better spent over here in Hogwarts," Albus explained to her.
Minerva gave him an odd look, 'I'm not sure what game he's playing, but I don't wholly approve it.'
Albus handed over the parchment with the boy's address to her and continued on as though he were unaware of the look she gave him, "I will need you to leave the castle after the dinner, as this hotel's quite far away from Hogwarts."
"Of course. I hope the castle will still be standing when I get back," she said in a rare instance of humor in her voice.
"Well, if it's not, at least you can finally start on that painting project you always wanted to do," he gave a light chuckle as they both stood up to proceed to the Great Hall for dinner, "Sorry to hold you over for so long, Minerva, but on the bright side, I heard there is going to be a delectable Lemon Pudding for dessert that I would really like to sample."
Minerva walked beside Albus all the way to the Great Hall, kind of wanting to try the Lemon Pudding as well when dessert gets served before leaving.

Next morning, after a good night's sleep. Lucifer woke up with a yawn and went to the bathroom for the nature's call. After his personal activity he started examining his new look at the mirror and found a very toned muscle body with nice looking six packs.
Which was certainly not normal for an eleven year old child. But he was not complaining.
Maze also woke up due to buzzing noises and commented, "Someone is l'king hot..."
"Well thank you, Mazikeen but I am still not sure why the hell I am looking like this?" Lucifer said, his eyes not on the demon behind at all.
"Don't worry we will figure something out. But first I am hungry, order something..." She adjusted her messy darkened top while giving dog eyes at figure displyed over mirror, or him.
"Oh, alright stop giving me that look..." But suddenly there was a knock on the door and Maze lazily walked towards it and opened the door handle she saw the face of an older woman in emerald green robes and a black pointy hat.
"Sorry we are not buying anything, we are already in some deep shit. So, yeah good bye," Maze declined rudely but the older woman looked at her like she was insane.
"Who is there Mazikeen?"
"Oh, there is some weird lady who wants to spam us...."
"Actually, I am not here to sell anything. Is this the home of Lucifer Morningstar?" said the old lady.
Eleven year old Lucifer wearing a black t- shirt and pajama said "It's me, what do you want Miss?" looking sceptically at her.
"I am here to offer you a place at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry," said the older stern looking woman.
"Can you please repeat Hogwhich what?"
"Might, I atleast enter the room or do you want to talk like this the whole time?"
Maze allowed the woman to follow through with a curious expression.
The woman started looking around and gasped in awe at the delicacy and royalty of the room but controlled herself and finally explained, "My name is Professor Minerva McGonagall Deputy headmistress of Hogwarts and here to offer you a place to harvest your magical abilities and truly succeed in the wizarding world..."
"Yeah, alright that's enough. I am going to stop you right there and Maze give me that drink which you poured last night..."
"Certainly, you are not going to offer alcohol to your child Ms. Morningstar..!"
"Ms. Morningstar! the hell are you saying? My name is Mazikeen and I am not his mother or something like that. I am his caretaker, yeah um definitely..."
Her voice was clearly flustered as she exclaimed her words out.
"Alright, well have you done anything that you can't explain?" McGonagall was impatient after having a long trip.
"Yes, I have done some very nasty things which I can't tell you about."
"It's your choice Mr. Morningstar," Professor said after ignoring his childish humour and handed a letter in front of them instead.
Lucifer gave his "caretaker" a glance who nodded her head as she was also dumbfounded what to do.
And certainly there was an admission letter under the name of Lucifer Morningstar joining Hogwarts institute.
After looking at it a second time, Lucifer asked Professor to demonstrate this so called magic. McGonagall transformed the nearest booze can into a toy elephant.
Both Maze and Lucifer narrowed their eyes at the display of this kind of magic but said nothing. She was the one to break the silence, "Alright, we believe you."
"Lovely, I shall take you to get your school supplies in three days time. A girl around this time has her twelfth birthday too and couldn't join last year because of this," Professor finished quickly in a matter of fact to escape from such warden and vanished in thin air.
"The fuck just happened here...? Did you see that display of magic? It's not normal... I mean we angels, fallen ones and demons use but this is something else entirely."
Lucifer was busy thinking.
"Yeah, I haven't seen anything like this at all," Maze voiced her own doubts while remembering her good o'l days in the underworld.
In the next three days, both went shopping for clothes and blackmailed a pub owner and purchased it from the Manager which they renamed it as 'Lux' and started adjusting to their new life on earth.
