Loki's Family

by darkoraclegirl

My friend Ogremen gave me a challenge and then we decided to co-write it. The challenge was Asgardian Father's Surprize! Five year old Harry is running from his cousin and friends when he suddenly finds himself in a strange new place, Asgard. There he meets Loki and his life takes a turn for the better. THIS IS AU. MEANING NOT CANON WORLDS! SO NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT OC CHARACTERS!

11. The calm before the storm

AN: Alright, while coming up with what we wanted the next arc to be, we...well, kinda got carried away...As a result, this will be the first of a 3 chapter arc, MAYBE four, if we push it ;P

Oracle: 'Kinda got carried away' is one way to put it lol. If all of you could see our chats on this story's creation, you wouldn't understand how we manage to get any chapters out lol. We get so off topic some times and then there are videos we often show each other, granted most tend to be related to the story in some way. But for the most parts we are all over the place when we work on this story. Even going so far as to plan for years down the road, years in the story not in real life that is.

Now on to review responses for chapter 8! ^w^

To The Aberrant One, your kinda right, we do laugh quite a bit when creating chapters and discussing what craziness we should include next, lol As for me, Ogre, I will freely admit, when I suggest something particularily funny to add to the story to Oracle, I will, sometimes, let out a crazed bark of laughter in RL, lol

Oracle: I admit when I saw your comment I did cackle a little like a villian. Mostly becuase you know us well enough to know that that is coming, as well as the fact it is going to be a VERY intereting meeting.

To Drakenn, well, in this story, she has a number of kids and even descendants on Midgard, so, yeah, she gets around, not to mention you and all our other fans will probably laugh when you find out who some of them are...heh heh heh

To sarahpotter42, happy that you have been following our story so faithfully :) And thanks for understanding our reasons for why Dumbledork got a light sentence, something people forget is that when you have the fame that Dumbledore has, and the belief of the people as he does in canon, it can make him almost untouchable, and with all his positions and power, well, he was almost absolute in a fashion, and as they say about Absolute power, it corrupts absolutely. He needed to be knocked down a few pegs, consider his trial to be the calm before the real fall, as he will be up to his old tricks again later, and Loki, Freya, and Harry and his friends, they will be there to stop him, after all, remember, the DA position at Hogwarts is 'cursed', lol ;P

To randomplotbunny, this whole 3, MAYBE 4, chapter arc, is going to be a dedication to Freya and Darcy, wanting to change Asgard to the point where the younger generation of Asgardians will begin to change things from the 'traditional way' to more about living and enjoying life.

To Althalus57 we will see more of the Muggleborn's reactions during Harry's first year, when it would make snese that we see more of them as right now, Harry will not be visiting the magical world for a while, at least not in Britian anyway ;P

Now for those on AO3

To IzzyBizzy, after MUCH discussion and thinking about it, Ogre and Oracle have come to the agreement that Darcy will, at the very least, have Asgardian shape shifting, and ice powers, both of which she inherited from Loki, however, the former she has some access to, limited though it is, and the latter will come when she activates her Asgardian magic.

To DarkInuFan, Freya is like Darcy, she assigns nicknames to many people, something she picked up during her the centuries she spent on Midgard, needless to say, yes, she will call Harry 'Mini-Loki' at least once, lol

Now, enough with the responses, onto the chapter itself!

~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~

Magical Britian, was, in a word, in chaos. Witches and wizards of the wizarding world in Britian were divided, some still beleived that Albus Dumbledore was innocent, despite all the proof they wanted to bury their heads in the ground and ignore the evidence like the ignorant magic users they were. Others saw the facts as they were, Albus Dumble had used his positions to play the systems to his advantage, and was now paying the price for it, even less were aware of the 'why' to his having received a light sentence, due to understanding that, Albus Dumbledore, had secured his positions through political moves over the years, and as such, any trial he would be involved in, would have been just as much political, as a quest for justice.

There were also families who were glad to have Dumbledore out of the way like this. One such family were the Malfoys. Lucius had been happy about the trial as well as seeing Dumbledore sent to Azkaban, having believed that it meant that Prince Loki was going to prove to be an allie of his. However, things took a very sharp turn when Prince Loki announced that Harry Potter was his grandchild. Lucius wasn't a fool, he knew that it meant that Prince Loki had a mudblood in his family, and that was something that Lucius's pureblood upbrining just couldn't get over. However, someone so important and great as Prince Loki could not only have a mudblood child but openly admit to it was inconceivable to him. However, he knew it would be better to have Prince Loki on his side rather then be against him, so he would try his best not to show his disgust for this fact. And then there was the fact Harry Potter had been the one to kill the Dark Lord, that brought a ton of its own problems for him. If Prince Loki were to ask, would Lucius be able to lie and claim he was forced to serve the Dark Lord and get away with that lie? There was so much Lucius needed to plan for, and take into account, before he could face Prince Loki again. And, he would have to start enforcing to his son that a friendship with Harry Potter, Prince Harry Potter, Lucius had to remind himself, was worth demeening themselves by pretending to have had a change of heart when it comes to mudbloods. For so long as Draco could get in good with Prince Harry, their family stood a chance of getting in good with Prince Loki. He just had to make sure nothing else went wrong.

In another part of England, two families that lived close together were having very different reactions to the news about Dumbledore and his crimes against Prince Loki. The Lovegoods were overjoyed that Asgard seemed to be taking an interest in Midgard once more, they were descended from Viking migrants after all, and still worshiped the old gods over the new one. The Weasleys, however, were split almost down the middle in regards to Dumbledore and his crimes, on one side was Molly, Percy, and Ronald, on the other were the remaining members of the family, with little Ginny being in her own little world as she daydreamed about the Boy Who Lived and his many adventures.

~Meanwhile, else where on Midgard~

When Darcy had gone looking for something to delay her having to do her school work she hadn't been looking for anything that could be gold, but when she picked up the newspaper she had gotten in her mail and read what she did, she couldn't help but laugh like a mad woman. What was the article she read? It was an article on the trial of Ablus Dumbledore, and her father had been at the center of it. Though there was a lot of what she read that made her swear to introduce Mr. Sparkler to Dumbledore's testicals should she ever meet him, there was still a lot in the article that made her laugh. Hell she could only imagine what the old goat's face looked like when he had learned that Harry was related to Loki. She bet it had been explosive.

"And to think, he didn't come see me. Oh well, dad owes me next time." Darcy smiled, thinking just what she could ask of him. "Wonder what my friends from my last school will say when they find out I'm Loki's daughter..." Hell she knew a few girls back in her school who'd actually prayed to Loki. "Oh I am so getting all the bitches when the reuion happens..." Darcy smirked.

She then turned to the box that was gift wrapped for Harry in a corner of her dorm room, along with some games, both from the previous generation, and for this one. She had also made sure to get every Final Fantasy game from the previous generation for Harry, if she was a fan, she intended to make her nephew one for it too.

~Elsewhere on Midgard~

Fury frowned as he looked over the reports from Britain. About a strange thunder storm that hit London and then disappeared after a short while. From what he'd heard from the agents currently in London, there was no sign of where the storm came from, as the weather had been clear. He just couldn't figure it out. Just how the hell did a storm appear out of no where like that, and yet disappear just like that moments later. All weather reports for that part of the world showed that it had been clear skies and there was no possible reason for the storms appearance. Adding to that, another appearance of the tall man in a green suit had been reported, only this time with three other people, two of which were wearing armor of some kind. Fury was starting to miss the days when things like this were nothing more then false reports or glitches in the systems.

~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~

Loki had left Harry in Darcy's care while he dealt with some things else where. She'd been cool with it but gave him a list of demands for not coming to see her, as he had admitted to her about having been on Midgard earlier, though she had made sure to make it seem like she was surprised by this news. And once he was gone Darcy had sat Harry down and got him to open her gifts. He'd been excited when he found a brand spanking new game system in one of them, however he was confused by the games, as the Dursleys never would've allowed such games in their house.

"You really don't know anything about Final Fantasy?" Darcy asked in shock. When Harry shook his head she groaned. "I am really wondering now if the people you lived with were really human or not. Whatever, let's set this up and show you just how good they are!"

"Which one should I play first? This one?" Harry held up the first Final Fantasy.

"Oh no. You want to start with this one, my fave." Darcy held up Final Fantasy eight. "This is the one you want to start with!" She then got to work setting up the system, excited to see how much Harry likes the games.

Unknown to the pair, another person had followed them from Asgard to see where Loki and Harry were disappearing to, and was now glad that she had as ideas on how to shake things up in Asgard and give Odin many a headache. Leaving silently, the figured travled back to Asgard using the secret paths, after all, she didn't want to be detected by the Peeping Tom of Asgard after all.

Harry was quickly sucked into the magic of the game while Darcy laughed nervously as she realized she may have turned her nephew into a gamer addict. She would have to be careful with future games...

~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~

Loki returned from dealing with helping Amelia and the Ministry to find Harry absorbed with something on the Television and a worried Darcy who was torn between looking amused, and worried.

"Darcy, what is going on here?" Loki questioned her.

Darcy gave him a small, nervous, smile, "Well, I may have gotten Harry hooked on some games. I don't know how to get him off them now. Good luck dad!"

Loki raised a brow at that before walking over to Harry. "Harry? Is everything alright?" Loki questioned.

Harry gave no sign of having heard him, just continued to hit buttons on the thing in his hands and watch the screen before him intently.

"Harry? Harry!" Loki reached out and put a hand on Harry's shoulder, making Harry jump in surprised shock.

"Gramps? When did you get back?" Harry asked, sounding disappointed.

"Just a moment ago. Is everything alright?" Loki asked him, noticing how disappointed Harry sounded.

Harry looked back at the screen. "Do we have to go back now? Can't I play just a little more?"

Loki looked at the screen, realizing that it was a game of some sort. "Could you not just bring the game to Asgard and play it there?"

Harry went to say no, but then he thought about it. Loki had told him that Asgard was advanced, and that Loki could do just about anything with magic. Harry wondered if maybe that meant that Loki could make the system and a television work on Asgard. It was worth a shot as far as Harry could tell. "Can you make them work? The system and a tv?" Harry asked him.

Loki was taken a back at first, but then thought about what Harry had asked and looked at the television. Clearly this was something Midgardian, and thus might not work on Asgard. Looking at the 'system', as Harry had called it as well as the television, Loki knew that it was not impossible to make something like them work on Asgard. "I believe I could, yes." Loki nodded.

Harry lit up at that like a light show at that, happy to hear he could continue to play the awesome game, as well as all the others, that Darcy had given him.

Harry also secretly wondered if his friends back on Asgard would enjoy them too...

~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~

Heimdal raised a brow when Loki and Harry returned, seeing Loki carrying what the Midgardians called a 'televison', was not something he had expected to have happen when Loki started going to Midgard. There was also the box that Loki was takng care to no drop, resting on top of the television. And Harry now had a bag fully of something that he was hugging tightly to his chest like he was afraid it would go 'poof'.

~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~

Harry had beaten the game after Loki had gotten the system and the television to work on on Asgard, and now, he wanted to share it with his friends, sadly, he couldn't carry the television himself as it was too heavy for him. So he decided to do something that he knew would get him in a lot of trouble if he got caught. He was going to sneak his friends into the palace and let them play the game in his room. So, Harry waited until he could be sure that Loki and any other member of his family wouldn't be showing up in his room any time soon. Once that was out of the way, Harry quickly changed his clothes and headed for the market. Hoping to meet up with one of his friends.

He never saw the shadow that was tailing him and watching him with narrowed, suspicious eyes.

~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~

At first Runa, Ari, Jarl, and Godiva thought that Harry was sneaking them into the kitchen for food, something they all wouldn't be too proud to refuse, unlike most adults. But instead of the kitchen, he took them to a wing of the palace that was clearly for royalty only.

"Harry we can't be here!" Runa hissed, "You can barely even be here!" Runa pointed out.

Harry frowned in confusion before remembering that they had no idea that he was a member of the royal family.

"But Runa, I don't think Harry would've brought us here if it wasn't his chamber..." Godiva said.

Ari gave her a funny look at that, "But for that to be true, he'd have to be related to a royal."

Godiva smiled. "Doesn't Harry look a little like Prince Loki?"

Runa, Ari, and Jarl frowned at that before really looking at Harry, their looks quickly becoming ones of shock.

"What? No, you can't be!" Ari beathed in shock.

"Harry? Are you a royal?" Runa asked hurtfully.

Harry gave her a nervous smile. "You won't tell anyone, will you? If Gramps were to find out I told anyone I would be in big trouble," he replied, sounding sad at the end.

"Gramps? As in the Allfather is your grandfather?" Jarl questioned.

Harry shook his head. "No, he's my great grandfather. My grandfather is Loki."

Runa had no idea what to think or feel about this. Harry, her first friend who didn't live in the slums, was a royal. She'd be ok with having a noble friend, as some of them seemed to actually care about those in the slums. But royals all seem to hate the slums and want those who lived in them to die. She'd spent most of her life hating them.

Ari couldn't believe he hadn't seen this coming. He was normally the one to see things as they really were, he had always had the eagle eyes of the group. And yet some how Harry had managed to keep him from seeing this. It angered Ari greatly, and though he wouldn't say a word about it, it also hurt him to know that Harry had kept this from them.

Jarl was tense. It was Odin who'd sentenced his father to death and thus he'd long since devolped a hatred for them. Harry however had seemed different from all the others nobles, and now that he knew the truth he thought that Harry was different from royals too. However, since he had kept this from them for as long as he had it made Jarl question if they ever really knew anything about Harry. This, for all any of them knew, could be a trap Harry had helped to set up.

Godiva had noticed how allike Harry appeared to be to Loki, how his hair, eyes, and body type appeared much like a slimmer, younger Loki. So it'd been easy for her to figure out that Harry was a royal, she just never said anything to the others because she felt it wasn't her place.

"I didn't want to hide the truth from all of you, but I wasn't suppose to tell anyone that Loki's my grandfather. I really am your friend." Harry tried to explained sadly, hurt that they would think the worst of him.

"Why did you bring us to the palace?" Ari asked, doing his best to keep his pain out of his voice.

"I wanted to share some games I got. They're from Midgard!" Harry answered, picking up the case for Final Fantasy eight and showing it to them.

~Song start: Nova Rockafeller - Made In Gold~

"A game from Midgard?" Jarl questioned with genuine surprize, shock, and curiosity. "I thought no one could go there?"

Harry smiled, "Loki sometimes takes me back there. I lived on Midgard before Loki found out my mother was his daughter," Harry explained, glad that they were listening to him.

Godiva walked over to Harry and took the game case in her hands, looking it over. "I want to try it!" She smiled up at Harry. "Will you show me how to play?" she asked nicely.

Harry nodded and lead her over to the tv. "This is a television, the game will appear on here," Harry then pointed to the PS2. "And that's the PlayStation 2, or PS2 for short, it's what the game is played on." Harry did his best to explain how it worked, even though he barely understood it himself, before changing over to explaining how to play the game to Godiva and the others, Runa, Ari, and Jarl gathering around them to see just what was going to happen next. Within twenty minutes Godiva was getting the hang of it, she particularily loved some of the special moves and some of the enemies in the game, the others had their own favorites too, with Jarl being a fan of the character Zell Dincht, while Runa was a fan of Selphie Tilmitt. Harry was a fan of Squall, and really wanted to create a gunblade for himself, he wondered if his grandpa would help him make one. Ari found himself really liking Irvine Kinneas, he wondered if he could find a hat like the one Irvine wore, if not he'd make his own hat. For Godiva however she came to love Quistis Trepe and Edea Kramer, liking the thought of using a whip and casting magic.

~Song end~

They were so into the game that they didn't realise they ahd been laughing and having fun with the funnier parts of the game and with each other that they never noticed the door open to the room behind them...

~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~

Loki had so much to catch up on with Freya, wanting to hear all about what chaos she had bought upon the other realms while she was away. And she had many tales to share with him. One of them even being of a potential lover she had tried to bag on Midgard, one with a build similar to Thor's, but far more brains in his head and a good personality to boot. However she had let him go after another woman, in jealousy she had open fire on the guy as he hid behind a shield.

"However, I did find a good man after that. He was a fun one, that Howard. However like with all mortals, it never lasts. However I am sure the little ones I've left behind are proving to be very entertaining for Midgard..." Freya chuckled mysteriously.

Loki had no idea just what she meant by 'little ones' but he was sure that Freya had broken a great many hearts on Midgard, as well as a few of the other realms too. "I can only imagine what you left behind on Midgard..." He smiled happily for her.

"I do hope you try to spend a little time outside that magical part of Midgard you helped create. It would be nice if you found my little ones for yourself. I'm sure you'll know which ones when you see them." Freya smiled as if she knew something he didn't, which to be fair, was often the case when it came to her. Freya always seemed to know some things that Loki either didn't, how she knew was beyond Loki's understanding.

"I'll try to take some time to tour Midgard when I can." Loki promised. "After all, the realm has changed much since my time there with Alba."

"Now then Loki, I want to know just what you are up to on Midgard. Just what was so important on Midgard that the whole royal family went." Freya had been dying to know just what Loki was doing on Midgard these days.

Loki sighed heavily. "Well," Loki began, planning to tell her everything when a guard entered the room.

Freya sighed in annoyance. "What is it?"

"Prince Loki's student has been brought to the throne room to be judged by Odin," The gaurd told them seriously.

Loki's heart stopped for a moment. After all, as far as he knew, Harry had been in his chambers playing that Midgardian game Darcy had given him. Loki shot out of his seat and raced to the throne room, praying that Odin hadn't changed his mind and decided to exile Harry after all.

~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~

~In the throne room with Harry~

Harry was extremely scared right now. Sif had barged into his room and found him with his friends, and the next thing he knew, she was really mad and calling for guards to take his friends to the Allfather. Harry had thought that he had planned everything so well, and now it seemed that his first real friends would be taken away from him. And to make matters worst Runa, Ari, and Jarl seemed to be very angry with him about it.

Loki entered the room and, upon spotting Harry, ran over to him. "Are you alright?" He asked Harry softly, seeing how scared and upset he was.

"Your student brought these urchins into the palace!" Sif informed him in a haughty tone, and Loki could see a smug look in her eyes, as if she felt she'd won against him.

"I just wanted to share my games with them!" Harry cried to Loki, his voice barely above a whisper. "I'm sorry!" He sobbed.

Loki wrapped his arms around Harry. "I know, you didn't mean any harm." He whispered back before turning to his father. "He did not know better. You can not blame him for this."

"Regardless of if he knew or not he still brought them here. This can not be allowed to go unpunished." Sif pointed out.

"The fate of what Harry will face as punishment will be decided later," Odin said, "However, for these children, their punishment for entering the palace will be..."

"Please, don't hurt my friends! I'll do anything!" Harry shouted, he tried to run over to his friends but Loki held Harry back. "Punish me, I invited them to my room to play games. This is my fault so let them go and punish me."

Odin stared at Harry in shock and surprise, amazed that Harry was so willing to take the blame and punishment for what happened.

"Harry, are you sure you want to accept the blame for this?" Frigga asked him. "The punishment for this may not been light." She warned him.

"I don't care what the punishment is. I don't want you to hurt my friends for something thats not their fault!" Harry cried.

Runa, Ari, and Jarl stopped struggling against the guards holding them at that. They were shocked that Harry would willingly accept the punishment for them. That a royal would take the blame for everything just to protect them. They were nothing but a bunch of orphans that no one wanted.

Godiva, however, smiled at Harry, she could see that her friends were starting to see that Harry really did care about them and he wasn't lying about being their friend.

Odin was torn. On one hand, these orphans were not suppose to be in the palace, and they knew it perfectly well. But on the other hand, Harry was a member of his own family, and if he punished Harry for thi,s then he knew he would never hear the end of it from the other members of his family.

"Can we not forgive this, just this once?" Frigga questioned Odin softly. "He is just a child, and whats more, these are the first friends I have heard of him having. To take them away from him, would hurt him greatly in the future."

She had a point, of that Odin knew well. However this was a difficult matter. And it did not help matters with just who Harry had made friends with. The son of a theif, the son of a murderer, the daughter of a valkyrie, and one that Odin himself had to ensure was never fully discovered unless she was needed. Then an idea struck him that would solve this matter for him. A way to make almost everyone happy.

"I have made my dession," He said, his tone silencing everyone in the room. "Harry shall not be punished for this, as he did not know better," He could see Harry's heart break at that. "The punishment for these four however, will be to train under Loki until he believes he has no more to teach them."

Loki was surpired by this, and slowly figured out just what Odin was doing using his logical mind. By claiming they were being trained by Loki as punishment, no one would think they got off freely for entering the palace, yet at the same time, they would be with Harry at all times. "They will need chambers in the palace then, as I do not want them taking all day getting to their lessons. I am willing to give up space in my part of the palace, if need be." Loki shrugged.

Harry looked between Loki and Odin in confusion before looking to Frigga, who gave him a smile that told him everything would be fine.

Frigga was proud of her husband. He'd found a way to both 'punish' the orphans, as well as not have to punish them for it.

Runa, Ari, Jarl, and even Godiva, looked at each other in confusion, not understanding just what was happening.

Sif however was outraged by this however. "My lord, how can you let these...urchins...get away with this. A punishment like that is far to light for what what they did!" She shouted in outrage.

Odin narrowed his eyes at her. "You question my rule Lady Sif? Have you forgotten who your king is?"

Sif opened and closed her mouth, trying to figure out what to say, but ultimately giving up. "No my king." She sighed angrily through gritted teeth. "I apologize..."

Loki smirked at Sif. Clearly she had thought she was going to get to Loki by hurting Harry. Something he hated her for right now, and yet, he loved how she had just made things better for Harry and yet worst for herself. Loki turned to the four orphans and smiled at them. "Now then my new students, I expect you to be on time for your lessons and that you get along with your fellow student, Harry." Loki set a hand on Harry's shoulder. "And, I am sure you will all work together outside my lessons."

Godiva smiled back at Loki. "We will Prince Loki." She told him happily.

Slowly Runa, Ari, and Jarl began to understand just what was happening. Though they were being 'punished', if it could be called that, the punishment was to become Loki's students. Which meant that they could be around Harry, as well as getting new homes in the palace. This was a punishment they were slowly warming up to. And on top of that, Harry had been so willing to take all the blame and punishment for them beause they were his friends. If they had any doubts about his friendship they were gone now. There was no more doubt that Harry's friendship with them was as real as it could be.

"Sif, if you would be so kind as to move aside, I must take my new students and show them where they will be staying..." Loki loved the way she glared at him before storming out of the throne room.

Harry smiled, happy with how things had turned out. He then followed Loki and his friends as they left the throne room.

"Harry, that was very brave what you did in there. I doubt anyone will be forgetting it soon." Loki told Harry, his voice full of pride.

"Thank you, though I had to tell them who I am to you. I'm sorry." Harry hung his head in sadness.

Loki stopped walking and sighed. "It is alright, Harry. So long as they do not tell anyone." Loki turned to them. "Can we count on your silence?" Loki asked them.

The four orphans looked to each other before Runa spoke up. "We won't betray our friend." To which Ari, Jarl, and Godiva nodded their agreement.

Loki smiled. "I am glad to hear that. Now then, this way everyone."

~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~

It had now been a few weeks since Harry's friends had moved into the palace, it had been an...interesting...time of adjustment for the orpahns, and also the palace staff too. There had been a few fights, but, Harry had spoken with Loki, about there maybe being video games on Midgard that could help, Loki had spoken with Darcy, and, well, as a result, Mortal Kombat games ended up wowing the orphans and Harry, as well as at the same time scaring them a bit from the brutality of it. and Jarl had even got a even devious ideas to test out with the magic that had been growing in him since becoming Loki's student. One thing that Loki had quickly made clear to the former orphans was, all Asgardians had magic, but if you didn't exercise it, it would stagnate and not grow, as most Asgardians saw magic as 'inferior', they never trained in it, as such, they were as strong, magically, as most Midgardians, but thanks to Harry, the four orphans would be training under a master of magic, and as such, would become, one day, as powerful as Loki himself, and Amora the Enchantress, and maybe as powerful as Freya herself.

~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~~w~

Freya was bored, and when she got bored, she wanted to make shit happen, stir the pot, mix things up, point is, Asgard was dull, which is why she went on her trip around the realms six hundred years ago. Deciding to involve her student's grandson, she went looking, she was aware of Harry's friends, having met all four of them by now, she had taken a perticuler shine to Godiva though, well, her and Harry. So, making up her mind, she went looking for Harry, deciding to put in motion the plan she and Darcy had come up with.

Harry was bored, he had been playing the latest video games that Darcy had given him to play on the PS2 she got him, and as he had played, he had been unaware that Freya was watching, and smiling, as she got decided to enact the plan, and she could use one of the scenes in one of the video games as her 'inspiration' for the plan being put into effect.

As a result, it was with welcome relief that Freya got his attention. "Hey, Harry, I'm bored, want to cause some mischief?" she asked with a smile.

Harry smiled, "Of course, your mischief is always fun, and not harmful like Dudley's mischief was!" he said with a genuine smile.

AN: Now, I am sure Oracle has a few words about the upcoming Ball/dance Asgard will be having, lol

Oracle: First off, thank you again to everyone who voted on both polls, as well as those that commented/messaged us about what you thought Darcy should have. All of that was very helpful, and will help to make things that happen in the future more interesting for this story. In regards to the up coming chapters, the next three, if you've read the review/comment responses at the top, it will be tied together for a ball/dance in Asgard. Now this isn't to say those three chapters will be solely set in Asgard, as there are things on Earth that we will be setting up for future chapters. However, something to keep in mind for the next chapter is that there will be a lot of music for you to listen to, just so you can get a feel for what is going on in the story as well as to aid in your imagining of how the ball is going. We've pulled songs from the 90s, and some from earlier, for this so be ready for blasts from the past if you are 90s kids and for those of you who aren't, well, get ready to hear some 90s music, we hope you enjoy the songs. For the ball/dance we really want to turn Asgard on it's head and try to shake up how things are, and what better way to do that, then by introducing 90s Earth music? We've got so much planned for the future thanks to what we intend to do with the next three chapters and we really hope you all enjoy it all. We can't wait to hear your reactions to what is to come, as well as what went down in this chapter. :D
