Loki watched in anger as his faithful worshipper was locked into his room turned cage. He could only hope that the All-Father would one day soon let him help the boy more directly. Currently the boy was practicing his channeling ability. Absorbing the ambient magic around the house and forming small balls of light in his hand. Young Harry had taken to the long forgotten art very quickly. Loki couldn't wait to see what the boy thought of the gifts he had left for him with the goblins.

"How is he my son?" Odin asked softly as he moved to his sons side to gaze down upon the young child.

"His room has become his cage. His guardians locked him in there and only let him out to use the bathroom. Father there must be more we can do to help him down this path."

"You have grown attached to this boy Loki. Why?" Odin inquired turning his gaze to his trickster son.

"He is a faithful follower father. He prays to Thor and I nightly ever since the incident with the darkness. His family have been faithful followers for centuries…" Loki replied spinning his words around his real reason. He shouldn't have bothered for his father could always see through him.

"He has a pure heart and a good soul. A soul that simply attracts other beings to him. I admit even I am tempted to help the child…But Destiny would not take kindly to our interference my son. I would not direct her wrath upon us." Odin declared and his son merely turned away from him in reply.

Odin's gaze never wavered from Loki's form and he sighed. He had originally thought that the one he would have to watch in this case was Thor but Loki was proving to be just as adamant. Perhaps there might be something they could do with out messing up Destiny's plans too much. He would have to think further on it.

"Come Loki. Let us try and find a solution." Odin stated placing a hand on his son's shoulder and leading him towards the door.

Neither God saw when young Harry was rescued from his relatives house by his red-headed friend his older twin brothers.

It was Thor's turn to watch over young Harry while his father and brother thought of ways they could help their Midgardian follower. He watched as the two wizards were blocked from the magical portal to the train platform and decided to fly the mechanic contraption they rode in before.

'Thor, God of Thunder, Lightning and Storms please watch over Ron and I as we fly this stupid car to Hogwarts. Please let us arrive to school in one piece.' Harry prayed as they soared above the clouds. The newest adventure amused the God up until they landed in a tree. A tree that attacks anything near it.

Eyes wide in anger (and panic though he wouldn't admit it) Thor sent off a bolt of lightning that missed the tree and instead hit the car. Thankfully the car reacted to the lightning bolt and was revived in time to take the two boys away from the abomination of nature. Satisfied the boys were safe once more Thor relaxed and continued to watch.

Time continued in Asgard as three Gods and the Gatekeeper spent a lot of time working out a way to help the wizard and watched over his life on Midgard.

Odin knew what test was laid out before the boy for his second year in school while Loki and Thor were learning as they watched. Loki figured out what the mythical beast hurting the children was first.

"You would have the young mortal face a basilisk on his own? A babe that has yet to see thirteen summers?" Loki was furious. He was the God of Magic, he had created most of the magical world himself on Midgard, and yet he was stuck in Asgard unable to truly aid the children who have received his gifts.

"Surely we can go and help now father? You would not leave a mere child to face such a beast alone?" Thor pleaded with the All-Father but to no avail.

"Not yet my sons. Let us stay in the shadows a bit longer." The All-Father murmured keeping his eyes cast down on Midgard.

"But father—" Thor tried to protest but Odin merely gave him a look.

Thor and Loki were alone in the Gatekeeper's Hall when Harry's prayer went out. 'Loki, Thor, patron Gods to the House of Potter, please I beg you keep Ginny Weasley alive. Please let her still be alive when Ron and I get there. Protect us from the basilisk. I don't really want to die yet.'

Thor and Loki watched sadly as Harry and Ron dragged their professor down the sink into the fabled dungeon. They watched as the professor attacked them and ended up cursing himself. Their sadness quickly changed to fury as their follower once more faced off against the darkness but also had to face the mythical beast as well.

Thor was quite proud of Harry for his use of the sword and silently vowed to teach the boy to fight with a weapon when he had the chance. Loki watched with a smirk as even while the boy was poisoned he still managed to fight off the darkness once more and save the young mortal girl. Both Gods relaxed when the phoenix neutralized the poison in his veins.

Another year, another brush with Death, and the boy still lived. Yes he was worthy of their aid and protection. If only they could do more. Satisfied that the boy would be safe once more the brothers left the Hall to let their frustrations out with a bit of sparring.

Heimdall took over the vigil and watched as Harry Potter tricked an older wizard into freeing his slave. He watched as the slave then protected the boy and knew that whatever came of the boys destiny, he would be a very powerful force to be reckoned with.
