Squeezing her eyes shut, Hermione tried her best to recall the exact words of the ancient Norse text her father had taught her to read.
Gudinnen Hel er enormt ukjent. Det sies at hun hater bruken av sceptere, ettersom de er våpen som bringer feighet til brukeren.
The goddess Hel is vastly unknown. She is said to hate scepters, as they bring cowardice to the user.
Hermione's eyes opened wide. "Gudinnen Hel er enormt ukjent. Det sies at hun hater bruken av sceptere, ettersom de er våpen som bringer feighet til brukeren."
"She's got a good point," Agent Romanoff said. "But why would someone who hate scepters be using one if they had a choice? The Goddess of Death would surely be able to choose."
Director Fury looked at Hermione. "Where did you learn to speak Norweign?"
Hermione looked him dead in the eye and blandly told him, "My family. Duh."
"I'm sorry, what's your name again? Hermione Walkers?" Steve asked. "That's a British name."
Hermione nodded. "My birth parents are from Britain. But being adopted by the Norse God of Mischief means you tend to learn a few languages."
"She said, 'The goddess Hel is vastly unknown. She is said to hate scepters, as they bring cowardice to the user.'" Agent Romanoff translated for those who didn't already know.
A surprised look sprung up on Director Fury's face. "Fluency in Norweign, huh?"
"So?" Hermione asked. "Who cares? You're talking to someone who mentored the kids in various languages and started a multilingual epidemic in the deserts of New Mexico."
Laughter rang out, and Hermione smiled. Then she turned around and teleported, saying "I'll return when there's a need for it." over her shoulder.
Turning to face a black-haired young man her age with emerald green eyes, Hermione said, "Okay, who are you and what do you want?"
The man smiled. "I just want to talk."
"You didn't hear me. Who are you?" Hermione repeated.
"Fine. My name is Harry Potter."

A/N: Apologies for the super short chapter. I'm making this bundle be of shorter chapters, and quite frankly, it's been so long that it's likely for the best. Don't worry, it should get back up to normal length soon.
See you next time on Loki's Daughter!
Sincerely,
HedwigFan101
