Loki was bored. He often was. Living for millennia was boring after the first few; he had read all the books upon asgard, had learnt all he could about his magic from his mother, and was fed up with the spars with Thor (he won, every time). He needed something to do that wouldn't get him into further trouble, after all, he had only just about been forgiven for being controlled by Thanos and the following Chaturi invasion on Midgard though it was anything but his fault.
With the entire of the nine realms and other dimensions he could visit it was hard to be bored, yet Loki was. The last vaguely interesting thing he had done was learning the manipulation of time, which he had mastered easily, though the tome he had learnt from was purely theoretical and had stated that that type of magic had not been performed in centuries due to the death of the last great magic wielder. Loki smiled smugly from his bed at the thought of his excellence. He needed something to do.
He, in his spare time, had taken to exploring the other dimensions events and found himself particularly interested in one dimension due to it's use of magic on Midgard. Midgardians were generally thought too weak to use magic as it was thought to be a strong and powerful being, yet this version of Midgard had a secluded group of people who had mastered the skill. Loki had visited many times and became more and more interested in the 'wizarding world' in Midgard. The small population was rathe obsessed (rather like it's other dimensional counterpart) with it's two wars. Especially a boy named Harry Potter. It was fabled among the mortals that he defeated a great dark lord at seventeen and had died years later working as an auror. This boy had saved the world that shut him out, Loki thought he saw a lot of himself in this boy.
An idea struck him. A way to learn about the midgardian magic users and not be bored at once.
He rewarded himself yet again for his manipulation of time, it meant he would not have to inform his 'father' of his journey, it would be like he never left...
