A week passed, and it was closing in on Harry's Birthday.
Lucifer had written to Harry at least a couple of times every day, just to make sure he was okay each day.
However, he hadn't heard from Harry today.
He was busy Managing Lux when it was time that Harry usually sent Hedwig to tell him that he was still being treated well.
He pushed himself away from the table and went over to the open Balcony, and there wasn't a single Owl in sight.
That settled that, he walked over to the fireplace, "I haven't heard from Harry, and before you say it, Hedwig has arrived at precisely Nine Fifty-three every morning. Something is wrong."
"If you believe something to be wrong, then you should make sure that it isn't just a bad feeling. Please make sure your friend is alright, My Lord," Makima encouraged.
"Right... next stop, Four Privet Drive," Lucifer said and he Apparated to the Dursley residence.
He had only been in the Living Room of their House, so it was the only choice he had to Apparate to.
He appeared in the middle of the room, where Vernon, Petunia, and Dudley were watching the TV.
"YOU! GET OUT! GET OU -" the rest of Vernon's words dissolved into nothing as his mouth moved, but no sound came from it
"Where's Harry?" Lucifer asked Petunia.
She shakily pointed to the stairs, indicating he was up in his room.
Lucifer didn't unsilence Vernon as he walked up the stairs. He walked down the hall, turning the handle to each door until one of them didn't turn.
He pointed his finger at it, the glow of his eyes reflecting on the doorknob, "Alohomora."
The lock clicked open and he turned the handle, walking into the room, "Harry, is everything okay?"
"Lucifer!? Did Hedwig already arrive with her letter?" Harry asked him.
"What? No, she didn't show up, that's why I'm here. I was afraid something had happened..." Lucifer said, trailing off as the look on Harry's face indicated some did happen, "... What happened?"
Harry then explained his ordeal of yesterday, making sure to not leave out any crucial detail.
He included how his neighbor, Mrs. Figg, was a Squib tasked with watching Harry since he was left with his relatives, and a Wizard named Mundungus Fletcher was supposed to be watching Harry at the time when a Dementor appeared.
He also mentioned to Lucifer about his Patronus, and that it took the form of a Stag.
"First of all, that's pretty fucking awesome you cast a Corporeal Patronus. But a Dementor? What the fuck was a Dementor doing in Little Whinging?" Lucifer asked him.
It also occurred to him that if Dumbledore had someone watching Harry since he was left at Privet Drive, then Dumbledore knew Harry was treated this way his whole life, 'And he still kept him here... you bastard...'
"I don't know... I also got three letters. Technically all from the Ministry, but one of them was from Ron's dad," Harry said, handing each letter to Lucifer in the order they came in.
He sat in silence as he read each letter on the edge of Harry's bed.
Something wasn't adding up, "They were straight up going to break your wand? Not even bothering to see why Underage Magic was done? Straight up just, Oh, we are sorry this is an inconvenience to you, but because of your Underage Magical use, your wand is forfeit," he said in his best mocking voice.
At the very least it got Harry to laugh.
But Lucifer's face turned serious again, "A disciplinary hearing on August 12th... well, Dumbledore won't let you lose your wand or let you be kept from attending Hogwarts. Even if I don't like the Headmaster, he does have a lot of pull..."
'My main concern is that Dementor... they still answer to the Ministry until they hear Voldemort has returned... then again, just over a year ago the Dementors went rogue when they almost Kissed Hermione... there might not be any counter besides my Patronus Charm... but I would've erased them from existence if they had managed it. The one that attacked Harry... it was sent there... it had to be... but by who?'
Lucifer wasn't able to wrap his head around anything concrete, or even anything that made sense to him, "So Arthur told you to not do what the first letter said would happen? To not let your wand be snapped, but to not leave this hellhole?"
"Yeah... I'm infuriated right now... oh yeah... Sirius also sent a letter, telling me to not leave the House again," Harry was shaking from how frustrated he was.
Lucifer saw that he was not only shaking, but mentally and emotionally shaken too, having to see a Dementor, and after what happened just over a month ago, Harry probably relived that as well as hearing his mother screaming.
Harry always wore his emotions on his sleeve.
Lucifer, even though he got angry often, and it showed visibly through his actions, he had remarkable constraint when it came to showing his true emotions, his true feelings.
The number of times he held back on outright killing someone in front of his peers or teachers at Hogwarts surprised even him one time.
Even though he'd wanted to confess his feelings to Hermione, he kept those repressed....
Maybe he was biased, but he felt like he was able to control his emotions surprisingly well, despite all the anger that radiated from him.
"Let's go somewhere," Lucifer said.
Harry's face lit up, but he was still hesitant, "Are you sure? I mean-"
"Of course I'm sure... we both know Sirius would've gone out anyway in his younger days. I'm sure if he wasn't wanted by the Ministry for escaping Azkaban, he'd have come to see you himself in his human form. I say fuck all of them and let's go enjoy the day. You'll be with me, no one is gonna fuck with you while I'm around," Lucifer said and Harry looked like his Birthday had come a few days early.

Lucifer walked down the stairs with Harry, Vernon still yelling despite having no sound coming from his mouth, and he walked towards the front door with Harry, "Harry will be back later today," he told Petunia.
"Are you not gonna unsilence him!?" Petunia asked him in a panicky voice.
"Nope. Not until I return with Harry," Lucifer said and they both left the house and began walking down the street.
It was a while of walking before anything else was said, "So, your birthday is three days out."
"It is..." Harry said after a moment.
"I'll be honest, I don't quite know what to get you," Lucifer said, glancing over at him.
"You don't have to get me anything, I don't for you..." Harry reminded him.
"Very true, in that case, I'll buy you a new Quill Set. Hermione would normally love getting that, but that's what you'll be getting," Lucifer said with a smirk.
"To be honest, I could probably use one... the one I got for Christmas last year has just about run its course... well, the Quill has at least," Harry said laughing as they walked.
Lucifer took him to any Entertainment Area that was around, just to let him enjoy his day.
He had the hardest time lately and needed the support of his friends.
Hermione would've definitely been there as well, had she not agreed with Lucifer to go to Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place.
Harry understood that, and he didn't resent her for it, but Ron sounded like he had some explaining to do.
