Prologue

'Once again, I am here,' Loki thought opening his eyes, and taking in the human world once more. It had been thirty years since he'd been in the world of the mortals, and almost five hundred years since he'd been to England, but still surveying his surrounding he'd seen that general the feel of Great Britain had not changed much. There were, of course major changes in technology and generation, but the scene remain indifferent.

He was staring out a rather small window when he'd made these observations, and had even enlisted the help of Ecchan, to find out his general location, but overall it was not a bad place to be-well wouldn't be once his sons, and daughter finally found him.

For now though, the loud scream of the woman behind him, was giving the small god a headache. Loki turned in her direction. She was wearing an olden apron with suspicious dark red stains, and a faded, but still very presentable outfit of a light pink sundress, and her face held hints of wrinkles, as well as her joints being tensed, and anger filled.

"You, boy," She hissed, Loki's eyes glared at her, making her a take a step back. "D-do the chores on this list, and move it." She declared as if she was higher then Loki.

Loki smirked evilly. 'Now, it makes sense.' He thought putting the pieces of the puzzle together.

"We ask a favor if we may, Lord Loki," Verdandi said bowing respectfully to Loki. Loki nodded and motioned her to take a seat. It was very often the Norns, took it upon themselves to visit him, but when they did, they did so with a very important reason.

"What is it?" Loki said narrowing his eyes thoughtfully. Already he was very intrigued with the situation, and had longed for a challenge to focus his thoughts on.

"Recently, a shift has occurred within our realm, and correction is needed-" Loki held his head up stopping them. He could guess where this conversation was going, when they started their sentence like that.

"You want me to correct this problem?" Loki questioned, curiously. It was one thing for the Guardians of Times, to admit they had made a mistake, but it was quite another for them to ask for help to correct their error.

"Yes," Urd said sipping some of the tea, Yamino placed in front of her only second before. Verdandi, as well as Skuld also took a drink.

Urd placed her tea cup down, and looked Loki straight in the eyes. "A prophecy was made to the magic mortals, and must be carried out, even if the carrying out is not the true intended." She paused for a moment, and then continued. "Harry Potter destined to defeat the greatest evil of his time is dead."

A looked of understanding appeared in Loki's eyes as two very clear scenarios appeared in his mind.

"And what do you want me to accomplish?"

The three Time Guardian smiled. "A deal." All movement in the room stopped, and even Fenrir who had been eating up until this point stopped. "We have convinced Lord Odin to allow us to give Hel freedom in exchange for this bon."

Loki slipped his tea. "How would I do this task, if I agreed?"

Skuld smiled. "We will of course guide Lord Loki on how the current magic mortals views, magical words, and etcetera, as well as a temporary illusion."

Loki nodded in understanding. "I see." He placed his tea cup on the table, and thought for a moment. "How long would I be doing this task?"

Urd pondered this question, and counted up the number. "Seven years," Loki glared. "But during mortal holiday, your time is yours." They assured. "We will be taking over the task during those times."

"Why would I be chosen for this task?"

"Out of all the other gods coexisting on Midgard, you are the only one with any knowledge of how to operate with the mortals. Freya, as well as her brother Frey are optimists, and are unable to keep any secrets. Hemdal, and ourselves are forever forbidden to interfere, but you, Lord Loki can do what no other god can. You can succeed."

Loki glanced at his tea cup. "What will happen to Yamino and Fenrir in my absence?"

Skuld smiled. "We will not separate your family, Lord Loki. They will accompany you on this task."

Loki nodded, and got up handing his empty tea cup to Yamino.

Even without verbal agreeing to this deal the Norns knew he has taken the deal, he would have said otherwise if he wasn't, and so a week later after a complex set up by Verdandi, he was dropped off at the residence of Harry James Potter...the home of the Dursleys, and if Loki suspicions were correct the killers of the boy of prophecy.

"Boy, are you listening to me?" Petunia Dursley hissed, noticing Loki's lack of attention.

Loki smiled. There was a clear difference between completing a task (prophecy) and taking all the unnecessary measures, and as sure as Asgard remained, Loki would not take anything this scum wanted him to do.

"No, I'm not." Loki said staring Petunia straight in the eyes. "You are going to do all those chores by yourself, and leave me alone."

Petunia put her hands on her hips, looking absolutely disgusting as her face took up a prune color. "And why I do that?"

Loki's eyes glowed. "Because I said so."

Any argument Petunia was forgotten as she looked into the trickster god's eyes. She nodded and sweeped out the room, hurrying. She needed to finish everything before Vernon and Dudley arrived home...

Loki went back to looking outside from the guest room window. Yamino and Fenrir were due to arrive soon, and then he could start searching for an adequate house to live in until the magic mortal appeared...

A/N: How's that? My first crossover especially with two very different arcs...
