Chapter 10
Professor Snape had kept the end of the Slytherin table clear for the group, the end closest to him so that he could keep an eye out for anything Quirrell would try. They had been in the Great Hall for awhile when the large doors crashed open and Quirrell came in.
"Troll in the dungeon," he said in a loud voice.
Professor Snape rushed down from the teacher's table and stopped next to Loki and Harry.
"Do exactly what the Headmaster says, I will try and find the troll." he told them.
Loki closed his eyes and after a few seconds opened them again. "It's in the dungeon near the Slytherin common room, I'll get Harry, Ron, and Greg to the common room and then I'll get rid of the troll. You might want to cut Quirrell off, he's headed toward the forbidden corridor." Loki answered.
"You're sure that you can handle the troll?" he asked.
Loki snapped his fingers and the group of first years disappeared. "They're all in their common rooms." he told the professor. "Would you like me to put you in front of the door to the room with the giant three headed dog?" he asked with a smirk.
The Professor gave a quick nod, and with a snap he disappeared. Loki snapped again and appeared behind the large troll.
When the professors found the troll, it was laying in front of the potions class room, completely knocked out.
Professor Snape stalked through the common room and headed toward Harry's dorm room. When he arrived, he dropped down onto the end of one of the beds. "I know that you have some way to contact your Uncles, Harry. Could you please call them and allow me to speak with them." he asked.
Harry raised his mirror from the bed, "Uncle Bobby." he said to the reflective surface. A few seconds later, his Uncles appeared in the mirror.
"What's wrong Harry?" Bobby asked.
"No one is hurt, Uncle Bobby. We had a problem at the feast and Professor Snape would like to speak to you." Harry told him and then handed the mirror to his Head of House. As the Professor stood up, Loki appeared at the foot of the bed he had been given.
The Professor took the mirror and walked to the other side of the room, speaking quietly. About ten minutes later, he brought the mirror back and handed it to Harry. Then he turned to Sam and Dean.
"You will be returning home shortly, Harry, Ron, Fred and George will be going with you and returning to the castle on Monday."He turned to Loki, "You have also been invited, and no, they don't intend to kill you."
Loki smiled. "I guess that I'm having a weekend away with my friends."
The group took a portkey to Bobby's and Sirius and John met them at the portkey point.
"Are you boys alright?" John asked as soon as they arrived.
"We're okay, Dad." and "We're alright, Uncle John." came from two of the boys.
John ran his hand over his face, "Sorry, is everyone else okay?" he asked.
Loki grinned and looked up at him, "Ah, we're awesome. The troll is gone, and we get a three day weekend from the Head-ass-wipe." he said smiling at the hunter. "I'm Loki, I'm looking after Harry and friends until that possessed teacher is taken care of. Besides, Harry's little rag-tag group is fun to be around."
John stared at the deity, hearing Harry talk about him did not prepare him for a god in a child's body. "Are you possessing some human?" he asked.
Loki gave him a look of horror, "No way! I can change the way I look, it's me only younger." He quickly aged himself to an adult age and then back to the child look that he had been using to stay at Hogwarts undetected.
"Loki keeps Professor Quirell away from us." Harry told them.
"I keep the Head-asster away too, he likes to follow Harry. Keeps his distance for now, but I'm ready for him if he tries to do anything." Loki said.
The group spent the weekend talking about school and having a great time just hanging out. The group from Hogwarts left on Sunday, using a portkey to return to Professor Snape's office. Dean and Sam said goodbye, telling Harry that they would see him next weekend.
They arrived to Professor Snape's office to hear Dumbledore shouting at the potions Professor, insisting that he did not have the right to send Harry and his friends off Hogwarts grounds. Harry and his group quickly hid as best they could in the class room, they rushed to the supply closet and just left the door cracked.
The raised voices could still be heard coming from Snape's office.
"Headmaster, it's in the agreement that Potter's relatives have with the Board of Governors, and the Ministry of Magic. The boy is to be sent home in case of any emergency at the school. I checked with the heads of house and the other children's parents before I sent them with Potter. I also notified the Board of Governors, and Ministry." Snape said.
"That boy is too important to the Wizarding World to allow him to come and go as he pleases. You need to help me come up with a reason for that contract to be null and void. I must regain control of the boy, for the sake of the Wizarding World." Dumbledore told him.
The group in the supply closet looked at each other, eyes wide and full of disbelief. The Headmaster came out of Snape's office, followed by the professor. "Have you even looked at the contract Albus? It was written by the best minds at the Department of Magical Beings, finding a loophole to nullify the contract will be impossible."
"Tell them that I have to train the boy, tell them about the prophecy." he said quickly. "You're the one who originally heard it, tell them about the part that Harry has to play to save us."
"Albus, they want you nowhere near the boy." the Headmaster gave him a look that screamed 'do what I say or else'. "I will try, but I am warning you Albus. This will not end well."
