Chapter 1

Sleeping that night, was difficult for the little god. Next door, the Dursley's slept snoring loudly, while across the hall Dudley's pathetic bed groaned under the pressure, yet none of this came close to the uncomfortableness of the bed Loki was on. Bumpy and frame broken, pure fury simmered beneath the surface as Loki woke up cranky and still dead tired.

Down stairs that woman-Petunia was already up making breakfast as she waited for the other member of her family (and it) to come down. She wasn't stupid and thankfully after last night's little 'incident' she knew better than to deny him food.

Hours after Petunia had walked off Loki went down stair looking around the Dursley residence for the placement of both the furniture as well as anymore...evidence to what young Harry Potter had endured. He didn't see anything right off, pausing casually in each room.

There was nothing of importance in the couple's room, nor in the others child's room, and after nearly fifteen minutes of looking in random places Loki had almost settled on the conclusion that the Dursley's had destroyed anything belonging to the last Potter when he came upon a cupboard under the stairs that smelt strongly of despair and death...

With skilled movements he easily picked the locks on it, and let the small door swing open.

And Loki was treated to a sight worse than hell itself...

Blood was spattered over the walls in almost endless waves, and a small bundle of rags were tossed in the corner-probably clothes for the child, while there on the floor lay blood covered knifes, ropes, and most disturbingly a few white fragment of what appeared to be bones.

Fury beyond anything Loki had ever felt surge within, and the though of anyone, particular a child having faced this cruelty was maddening. He was a father, as well as a god, and this-

"It's dinner time! " Petunia said interrupting Loki thoughts.

And a dark smile lit Loki's face as he pondered his options...there was a reason he was feared among the gods, and these humans would find out first hand why...

Loki closed the cupboard, and sat himself at the table, his eyes glowing brightly so much that neither Dudley or Vernon dared questions his presence at their table, chills running down their back at the pure hated contained within those dark green eyes...

He finished off his food diligently wondering idly when Yamino would show up, as the food here was pathetic, and got up from his place at the table (the Dursley's were huddling on the end far away from him) and walked out of the kitchen, back into the entryway.

The mail slot moved loudly and three letters were sent though it landing in front of Loki. On the mat lay three letters, two of some random nonsense and a letter of parchment. A smirk returning to his face as he read the last letter:

Mr. Harry Potter

Smallest Bedroom/The Cupboard Under the Stairs

Number 4 Privet Drive

Little Whining, Surrey

Their was much work to do, and if along the way Loki was going to find out the reasons for his presence...something was wrong. There is magic in the air, evil magic...

Loki took the letter up, and walked up stairs and entered his reading, while outside the very people he had been waiting for knocked on the front door...

It was the beginning.

Here's a little treat for being so patient with me-another part of chapter 1! Please Enjoy!

(Beginning of Chapter 1 Part 2)

The letter was thick and made of parchment paper that was yellowing on its sides. There was no postage stamp anywhere on it, and as far as Loki could tell the letter most likely did not come from the post office. Thin little crises covered faintly with small holes, gave evidence to delivery from another source-mostly an avian, like an owl or a hawk...

The door bell rang, and there was knocking at the door, as Loki carefully ignore it, as he opened it, and took out the pages from within.

Dear Mr. Potter,

We are pleased to announce that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...

Loki smirked as he scanned the letter letting the puzzle piece fall into place...

Now the reason for the Norns, as well as their motives for his arrival in the place of young Potter were clear.

A prophecy likely involved this child, a powerful one, depended upon by the people...and yet something was still off...

Why this child?

Why the abuse?

Certainly there were others who could have taken in the child, so why here?

Loki knew there was more to know, and if magical England was anything like he remembered, then there were more relatives better able to care for the child, yet someone didn't agree-

"I demand you leave at once!" A loud voice yelled interrupting Loki thoughts.

He glanced outside his room to the foyer were a floor below were someone very familiar stood on the pouch of number four Privet Drive. Loki smirked, and placed the letters into the folds of his coat as he made his way downs stairs.

"I believe they came for me." Loki said cutting across the beefy man. "If you will move away from the door, I was leave your residence...for now. But I will return..."

Vernon looked at him, eyes filled with rage and fear. "A-as if you could y-you freak-"

Yamino hissed. "You will be respectful to Master Loki, or you will regret it." His eyes slitted, and his voice hardened.

Vernon stepped back utterly scared, his anger taking a back seat to the fear.

"Good bye, Vernon Dursley." Loki smirked, a vicious look in his eyes.

The two walked off, and away noticing the pair of eyes that followed them...
