Chapter 9

Harry and Lucifer appeared in Harry's bedroom. Lucifer looked around and smiled as he saw that the room looked as he imagined it would. It was large and clean with a lot of books and souveneirs of places that Harry had visited in his time on earth. He laughed as he saw pictures of Gabriel making fun of Harry. Harry turned around and smiled as he saw Lucifer looking around the room with happiness written all over his face.

"Take a seat and i'll get Castiel." Harry said as he gestured to a chair in the corner of the room. Lucifer sat in the seat with a frown on his face.

"Why are you getting Castiel?" Lucifer asked. Harry was sad to see the wariness in Lucifer's eyes.

"Don't worry about Cas. He'll understand what's going on. He's my soul mate and I trust him, okay? I'll tell him not to hurt you." Harry said softly as he moved to squeeze Lucifer's shoulder.

"You're his soul mate?" Lucifer asked as he looked up at Harry.

"Yeah." Harry answered with a soft smile. Harry went out of the room and looked for Castiel.

"He's a lucky man." Lucifer whispered to the empty room.

Harry moved into the kitchen and smiled at what he saw. Castiel was sat at the kitchen facing away from him. Harry was surprised at how happy he was at the sight. He moved over to him and wrapped his arms around his waist. He smiled into the angels's back as he felt him jump in shock.

"Hi." Harry said. He moved away from Cas and let him turn around.

"Hi." Cas answered. He pressed a kiss against Harry's lips and smiled when he heard him moan.

"We have to talk." Harry said. He pulled Castiel through the house and stopped outside his room. Harry turned back to Castiel and looked in his eyes. "You have to promise me that no matter who you see in there, you won't hurt them."

"Ok." Castiel answered after a moment. Harry was pleased with the answer and dragged Cas inside after checking that no one else was around. Harry could see the shock on Castiel's face when he saw who else was in the room. He quickly pushed Castiel towards the bed and told him to sit down.

"I know that you're shocked by Lucifer being here but you did promise not to hurt him." Harry pointed out before he started to explain.

"That was before I knew who it was." Castiel said with dark eyes as he glared at Lucifer.

"Yeah? Well tough. He hasn't done anything wrong-"

"Wrong? He's going to destroy the world!" Cas shouted. Harry glared at him for interrupting. Cas quickly shut up and decided to let Harry explain.

"He hasn't done any of the things that he's been blamed for. Zachariah was the one who told Michael that he was going to betray God and it was Michael who decided to declare war on Lucifer. The angels who fell with him knew about what had happened and didn't want to be any part of it. Zachariah is the one who is trying to destroy the world. To save the angels I have to save Lucifer." Harry explained. He watched as Castiel thought about what he had said and waited to see how he would react.

"Did Lucifer tell you that?" Castiel whispered.

"He told me how he fell but I already knew that Zachariah was the one who would try and destroy the earth." Harry answered.

"How do you know that he wasn't lying to you?" Castiel asked.

"My magic accpeted him as the innocent and gave him that body." Harry replied.

"Why didn't you try to stop him before?" Castiel asked.

"I told you. To save the angels I have to save the innocent. I wasn't allowed to take any action before. That's why I had to leave heaven. I couldn't just watch it happen." Harry said.

"You know that Sam, Dean and Bobby are going to have problems getting used to this, right?" Castiel said with a smile. Harry sighed as he saw that Castiel was accepting what he said to be true.

"That's an understatement." Harry mumbled.

"Leave it until morning to tell them. You want them in the best pssible mood for this. I suggest serving them chocolate chip pancakes with a side of a million dollars." Castiel said.

"Funny Cas. Thanks for the help." Harry replied with sarcasm dripping from each word. He went into the bathroom and got changed into some pyjamas before getting into bed. He smiled as he saw Lucifer and Castiel were in the corner talking quietly. He sent silent thanks to his father for giving him such an understanding soul mate.

When Sam, Dean and Bobby went into the kitchen they saw that Harry had made breakfast and was sat at the table drumming his fingers impatiently. When he saw they were there he jumped up and bustled around the kitchen while he ordered them to eat. They wondered what was happening but decided they'd ask what was wrong after they'd eaten the food.

"Ok Harry. What's going on?" Sam asked when they had moved to the living room with coffee.

"Umm...I need to tell you something but you have to promise you won't go mental." Harry said as he sat in the chair the furthest away from Sam and Dean. They were the most likely to strike out in anger.

"Ok...We won't." Dean said after sharing a look with Sam.

"Well I'll tell you a story first." Harry said.

"Oh great." Dean mumbled to himself.

"Oh shut up. Years ago, when I was still in heaven, I was friends with an angel called Joshua. Joshua was well known for being able to talk to God and told me a bit of my destiny once. I asked why I couldn't save the angels and Joshua replied 'To save the angels you must save the innocent'. I never knew what he understood what he meant until now." Harry said.

"Ok. What does it mean?" Bobby asked. Harry knew that he wouldn't last long. He hated long explanations.

"When I was in heaven, there was an angel who was slowly taking over and controlling the other angels. His name was Zachariah. Zachariah wanted to be in control but there was an angel who opposed him. This angel was starting to gain followers so Zachariah came up with a plan to get him out of the way and to stop him gaining followers in future if he ever escaped his prison." Harry explained. He took a deep breath as he looked at their faces before saying one more sentence. "The angel opposing him was called Lucifer."

"WHAT?" All three shouted at once.

"What the fuck! You mean to say that Lucifer wasn't actually doing any of the things that he was cast out for?" Sam asked.

"That's exactly what I mean to say." Harry answered.

"Then why did Michael put him in the prison in the first place?" Dean asked.

"Michael was told by Zachariah that Lucifer was making plans to rebel against heaven and Michael had no reason to doubt him. He went to meet his brother and cast him into his prison cell in hell. He ignored Lucifer's pleas for mercy and listened to Zachariah. The angels now believe that Lucifer is causing the apocalypse and only a few know that he was innocent." Harry finished. He looked around and saw that the three men were in shock. He decided now was the time to make a run for it. He ran up the stairs and to his room before he heard a yell.

"So they took it well?" Castiel asked a the door closed behind Harry. He heard the shouts of the two Winchesters as they came running up the stairs and smiled. "Looks like you've got some explaining to do, love."

"Yeah. I think i'll leave it a couple of weeks if that's ok with you. I'm sure you'd sneak food in for me if I gave you a kiss right?" Harry teased.

"They'd have to be good kisses. I'd be risking my life." Castiel answered dramatically.

"They'll be the best." Harry promised as he pressed his lips against Castiels. They both forgot about the figure sat in the corner of the room.

"Oh please. I'm about to barf." Lucifer said as he looked away from the scene in front of him.
