I don't think Severus nor I slept that night. We requested a morning meeting with Dumbledore. Severus cancelled his first class and well, its only my second day teaching and I didn't want the class to think I was a bad professor so, I made a double of myself and the double went to class while the real me headed to the headmaster's office for the meeting.
"Is Hogwarts truly safe for Harry, Headmaster?"
The headmaster hesitated to my question.
"Hogwarts will always be the safest place for the students...but I believe for Harry it's not the wisest."
"Our apartment is safe."
"But what about his schooling, Loki?"
"We can teach him in between and after classes."
"What will we tell the students? His friends?"
"It would be too much for you two to teach a full day of classes then teach Harry all of his subjects."
I frowned. What will we do? Suddenly, I saw something catch the morning light coming through the window. I looked to see my helmet and staff.
"Headmaster, where did you fid these?"
"They were with you when we found you. I was waiting for the day you came looking for them, but you never did. Is there something you will like to tell me...Loki?"
I smirked.
"Not something you already know, Sir."
Then an idea dawned on me! But there was a huge...HUGE problem.
What is it, Loki? What's your idea?
I sighed and looked to Severus.
"Asgard."
Severus made a confused face.
"I don't understand."
I took Severus' hand in mine and looked to Dumbledore.
"I have an idea, headmaster. We can have Harry stay at the apartment and I know someone who can teach Harry magic while Severus and I are having our classes. We will inform everyone that Harry is away to study magic aboard. He can inform his close friends of the truth, if he will like."
"Who, my boy?"
"The same person who taught me,...my mother."
Severus' eyes widened.
"But Loki...you will have to go back."
"Yes, Severus."
"Headmaster, if you agree with this plan I will need to return home. I did not leave home on a good standing. The worse that could happen is...I may not return to Hogwarts."
"This plan may work, my boy, but I am worried about your classes and your safety."
"No worries Headmaster. I created a double of myself. Currently, it is teaching the my first class."
"I am going with Loki. You can make a double of me as well."
"Severus..."
"I can't let you go alone, Loki. I won't be able to go on with life here, if I don't know if you are safe."
I sighed deeply.
"What about Harry and Frigga?"
"We can come with you."
We all turned suddenly to see Harry standing behind us with Frigga in his arms.
"I got worried when I saw both of you leave breakfast early and then Severus wasn't in class so I headed to your rooms and Frigga lead me here."
"Harry, I don't think thats a good idea. I don't trust the people where I use to live and they certainly don't trust me."
"I don't understand."
I sat down in one of Dumbledore's plush chairs and invited Harry to next in the chair next to me. I summoned a book, handing it to Harry.
"Norse mythology?"
"Page 203, Harry."
Harry turned to the page to see a picture of a tall man wearing green and gold with black hair, green eyes, and a golden horned helmet.
"'Loki the god of mischief'...he looks kinda like you."
"He is me."
"It can't be..."
Harry looked to Severus and he nodded.
"It is, Harry."
I leaned over and gently turned the page to the one of Thor.
"This is my brother, Thor...well adopted brother actually."
"Thor, god of thunder".
I turned to the next page of the Allfather and the Queen.
"This is the Allfather Odin and my mother Queen Frigga. Odin is the one I don't trust."
Can I ask what happened?"
I looked away and took a deep breath.
"I'll start with when I found out I was adopted. I was treated differently from my brother even when we were younger. While everyone else was training with weapons for combat. I read books and learned magic from my mother Frigga. It's not normal for a man to learn magic in my home world of Asgrad. And to make things worse, I find out my real hertiage is Frost Giant. The monster that parents tell thier children about as a bedtime story. My father Odin, never told me. I found out myself, on accident, not even a year ago. I can't describe how betrayed and angry I felt. I lost it. I wanted so bad to prove I was equal to my brother that I...I took over Asgard, I tried to kill my brother, and completely destory the Frost Giants. Thor stopped me and we ended up hanging from the bridge that sends us to the different realms in our world. I let go. I fell. There was no more for me there."
I bowed my head. I felt Severus place his hand on my shoulder. Suddenly, I was wrapped in a hug by Harry. I began to cry.
"I'm a horrible monster in that world..."
"Not here. Here you are a great wizard, a smart professor, a lover, a guardian, and good friend. You've been making up for your mistakes. You moved on from that life and you started anew. With us."
"That means a lot Harry."
"The god of mischief part explains your Slytherian traits."
I laughed as I wiped my eyes of any more tears.
"Why are you going back?"
"It will soon become unsafe for you at Hogwarts. We want you to stay at the apartment, but we don't want you to lack on your schooling. The only thing I can think of is asking my mother to tutor you like she did for me."
Harry's eyes brightened.
"So I may be able to learn wandless magic like you?"
"I believe it is possible."
"I may have an upper hand on Voldemort then! I think it's a brilliant idea!...But what do I tell my friends?"
"We will tell them you are studying aboard at a magical a school in America. You can tell your close friends the truth though."
"Okay. But I'm still going with you and Severus to see the Queen."
I sighed dramatically. These two were stubborn.
"And Frigga is coming too."
I slapped my forehead.
"Loki, what if you get captured?"
"I think I can get out of it if I bring my helmet and staff back."
"What would that do?"
"I will step down from being Prince of Asgard. Hopefully they will understand I will not be coming back, so I will be no problem to them."
I wandlessly shrunk the helmet and staff, placing them in my robe pocket.
"But Loki..."
"I don't need the title, Severus. I have what I want here. I have you, Harry, and a purpose here."
Severus kissed my forehead and hugged me.
You know this still isn't going to stop us from going with you, right?
I hugged Severus back...I know.
"How do we get there?"
"My wand."
Severus raised an eyebrow.
"You mean the wand that has not been touched since you recieved it and has currently been residing in your bedside table?"
I rolled my eyes. I stood up and put out my hand. Suddenly, my wand box flew into the room and into my hand. I opened the box and glance at the wand before glancing at Severus. He nodded in encourage. He knew why I didn't use it. I didn't want to turn into the power hungry man I use to be. I gently took the wand out of the box. I felt the magic surround me like it did the first time. It felt right.
"The wands core magic is connected to the world tree, Yggdrasil. It will act like a port key. I can teleport to any realm including Asgard."
Harry nodded determinedly.
"Let's go!"
"We are ready when you are, Loki?"
Severus and Harry held onto me while Harry held on Frigga tightly.
The last thing we heard as we teleported was Dumbledore telling us to be careful.
