Child of Silence
By Angelwings Sorrow
Chapter 39 "Trains, Arenas, Then Off to Wakanda"
"He is stronger than you. He passed the test."
"He got lucky calling down the gods of his false family." Albus sneered as he stood by the fire. "Next year I will have the advantage and there will be no hope but to be under my control."
"You said the same thing to your brother and sister and look what happen. You sister is dead and your brother runs a tavern with a bad reputation."
"They should have listened to me." Albus snapped.
"If they did then, I would have been ruling the world with them at my side and you would be dead."
"You would have never ruled without me. I had your heart in my hand."
"You did but I knew that I was just as strong without you. Your sister was a great seer and would have been a great asset to my rule. Your brother was a powerful sorcerer and would have made a fine first lieutenant. Our world would have been great instead of dying under hand."
"It is my will that our world has not collapsed. My brother was a fool and did not deserve the powers granted to him. I had to take them from him." Albus snapped.
"What about the children? You know the Muggleborns you expelled or intimidated into leaving this school. You know that they have all died with no magic to fuel their cores. Those born of magic must have magic to live; you can not take it away so selfishly."
"You lie, Aberforth lives so there in no harm it take what rightfully belongs to me."
"Your brother lives in the village where magic is plentiful it keeps his core alive. The Children you send away die soon after retreating to the Muggle world. You never look beyond your castle."
"Yes, My Castle! Away with you! I will show you and this world that I am the only one who can rule of the wizarding world!" Ablus shouted. The whistle of the Train blew breaking his concentration.
"Headmaster the train has arrived!" Snape called from outside his off door.
"Very well, you may start sending the students down to the station." Albus called back before slumping down in his chair. He was tired two pieces of the soul gone the rest were hidden away safe. He had all summer to plan for next year, starting with the rat. He needed a new pawn for this game.
XxXxXxXxXx
"So Fred, George how is Ginny doing?" Susan asked while she worked on her knitting project. She recently took up the hobby trying to fight the boredom in the Hospital wing. The MAGIC students sat gathered in on carriage of the train; they were a good hour from King's Cross soon to separate for the summer.
"Better but still full of herself." George rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, even though dad yelled at her for trusting something that she could not see where it kept its brain." Fred added as he played with Shadow on the carriage floor.
"That's tragic." Hermione said watching the red head wrestle the Jinx. "Daphne, how long will you be gone?"
"We'll set sail tomorrow and be gone a month. Then Astoria and I will be sent to live with our grandmother in Whales. This is so we don't miss the start of school."
"I wish mother and I were aloud to sail away. Father has insisted I return home this year. I believe he wants to start training me to be a Death Eater." Draco shivered.
"Is there no way for you to leave; what about Professor Snape?" Hermione asked.
"My Godfather has tried but Lucius is determined since the Basilisk failed."
"Then take this." Harry tossed a crystal ball to the Slytherin.
"A rememb-all?"
"One of my Aunt's design. To protect you from mind probes until you are able to master Occlumency. It works like a pensive and is password protected. Hold it in your hand say 'Jinx' while concentrating on all the memories that you want to protect. They will be stored in the ball until you say 'Jinx Return'."The Jotun Prince said seriously. There were too many secrets that needed to be protecting from the Headmaster and his plans.
"Thank you, Lokison. I have talked to my godfather about Occlumency and he has agreed to train me." Malfoy placed the ball in his pocket only to jump back at feeling something slithering out of the bag next to him. "What in Slytherin's name was that?"
"Jor you can show yourself now we're among friends." Harry hissed to his Father familiar. The emerald colored snake shimmered in to view.
"Please tell me that you are not bringing him back next year." Draco glare at the snake that curled on to his lap.
"Come on, Malfoy he likes you." Neville chuckled.
"He is a menace always hiding in my bed or in my school bag. I swear he lives to torment me."
"Well you won't have to worry about his returning next year. The threat to the school is gone and no longer needs his protection. My Father would like to have his familiar back, much to the chagrin of my dad. So you will no longer be his prime victim."
"So anyone else have plans for the summer?" Luna asked with a dreamy tone in her voice.
"Staying away from the Borrow as much as possible."
"Hopefully finish the Products we were working on last summer." The twins chimed in.
"You can count on me to help keep your supplies well stocked." Neville smiled.
"Really, Thanks Nev,"
"You are the best."
"So Harry what are you doing for the summer?" Susan asked as she continued to knit keeping her yarn away from curious Jinx.
"Tonight is a celebration for My Uncle's Birthday so I'll be heading back to Frigga's Meadow for the next couple of days, then Two weeks in Wakanda with my Professor, Princess Shuri and her brother King T'Challa. After that it's off to New York."
"Do you ever sit still Lokison?" Malfoy rolled his absently petting Jor after giving up on removing the familiar from his lap.
"Nope there is just too much to see and do. Plus I like learning new technology." Harry shrugged. Once long ago it confused him and he was lost in the sea of ones and zeros. Now he absorbed everything and his Dad had showed him a world where you can make anything possible. With his eyes now opened to the possibilities he loved inventing just as much as his Muggle Father.
The train whistle blew as it pulled into the station. All the students gathered their stuff and prepared to exit train. It was then Fred looked out the window and groaned. He pointed his discovery to his brother who also groaned. There standing on the platform wand ready was their Mother. Well looks like she wasn't going to give up on taking Harry home.
"Hey Prince Fristy,"
"Looks like Mum,"
"Is here to take you home." The reported lamely.
"Seriously? How do you deal with that Stubbornness?" Hermione asked.
"Hey Harry, I see your dad. What's that triangle in his chest?" Neville asked.
"Looks like Dad used my upgrade model for his arc reactor to fit the suit I made him. Perfect we can fly home but what about Shadow he can't fly. I don't want to leave him behind there is too many people to open a portal and Shadow gets sick when he travels by the bifrost."
"Uh, Harry I don't think you need to worry about your cat anyone." Daphne said in awe as everyone stood back from the Jinx. Shadow sprouted large Beautiful Black Wings!
"Wow Godfather did say Jinx developed their powers on the master's magic and needs. I guess his magic senses I need him to fly. I wonder if they are permanent." The Jotun Prince stroked the wings and could feel the magic and power filling into the new limbs.
"Oh No Mum is walking over to your Dad." George said in horror.
"And Ron and Ginny are with her. We need to get out there." Fred said pulling Hermione with him out the door.
"Fred does know he took Hermione instead of George right?" Susan asked with a fond smile as the group followed the two off the train.
"That was my brother acting on instinct instead of reason. I swear he won't be able to his affection for our Little Bookworm if he doesn't think before he acts." George laughed.
"Though you are bonded together the universe has pick the perfect soul mates to balance you both. Fredric just doesn't realize he found his yet." Luna said dreamily.
"I bet your right. He's always trying to catch up to my brilliance." George gave a cheeky smile before it vanished under the Shouts of his mother.
"I will not tell you again Muggle. Harry Potter is son of two war Heroes and should be with a Wizarding Family. As a symbol to the Light he needs to forget all that Muggle nonsense and focus on his magical studies to defeat You-Know-Who!"
"Listen Lady I don't know who you are, but you are not taking my son. His Name is Haraldr James Lokison-Stark. I might be a non-magical but I am Iron Man. It will be a cold day in hell before I let him fight in a non-existent war for people who left him to be kidnapped and tortured. You can tell that crazy old man I said just that." Tony was pissed at the gall of this witch trying to take his son. She even looked down on him for not having magic.
"Mum! Please stop your making a fool of yourself." Fred said not realizing he was dragged Hermione into the fight.
"Hey why did you bring the Know it all? She's not family." Ron Sneered.
"Back off Mum is telling the Muggle off." Ginny huffed.
"George, I am trying to bring Potter back to our world." Molly explained.
"He's Fred I'm George! Mum stop this Dad is not going to stay if you do this. Also Ron and Ginny knock it off you're both behaving like spoiled brats!"
"Don't talk to your siblings like that! Once we are home he'll see I am right as always!" Molly glared at the Twins.
"Listen to your kids because you are not getting your hands on mine." Tony snarled and activated the spell shield on his reactor when he saw the woman draw her wand.
"Enough out of you Muggle, I will save Harry Potter." a spell shot from her wand but it fade before it reached the triangle in the Muggle's chest. "What happened?"
"What happen was the protections I put on my dad prevented your spell from reaching him." The sound of the artificial voice had the group turning to see Harry and the rest of MAGIC assembled behind him.
"Hey Hare-Bear glad to see you ready to go."
"Harry Potter, I am so glad you are here. I'm Molly Weasley I'm here to take you home with us and tell you about your parents." Molly tried to come off as nice and Motherly but Harry wasn't buying.
"Excuse me but I don't know you. I will not go anywhere with you. Fred and George are my friends so I know who you are. You are the headmaster's tool. He has fed this world lies on who I am. I am Haraldr James Lokison-Stark. James Potter was my Barer and Lilly Potter was my Stepmother. Prince Loki Odinson-Stark is my Father and Tony Stark the Muggle Hero Iron Man is my dad by both Legal and Blood adoption. You verify it with my godfather the Goblin King! Friday Activate the Iron Merlin II." Harry ranted through Friday. He was fed up with everyone trying to take him away from his family. The top layer of his trunk detached from the lid and flew over and encased the young Jotun Prince.
"Good idea son, we'll fly home. Jarvis send the car back to the London apartment." Tony smirked and tapped the Arc Reactor on his chest. The Nano tech poured over his body and in seconds Iron Man and Iron Lad had drawn a crowd. "Butterfingers take Haraldr's stuff back to the manor. Do we need to carry Shadow and Jor?"
"No Mr. Stark, Shadow grew wings and the pretty snake is riding around his neck." Luna hummed as she stood with large cat and petted Jor.
"That's new. Thank you for the info, Little Lady. Let's go Hare-Bare your father is going to worry if we're late." Iron Man turned to Iron Lad who nodded and started his thrusters.
It wasn't long before the two were flying to the Manor leaving a stun Molly and smirking MAGIC students.
XxXxXxXxXx
"Oh thank the Norns you are safe." Loki ran up to his husband and son who had just landed in their courtyard.
"We're fine Cupid. Why would we be?" Tony said giving his god a reassuring kiss.
"Jarvis alerted me to Haraldr's suit activation and then the activation of your own suit. I was worried the crazy old man had attacked you."
"Naw, it was just a crazy witch. She thought she could bully me into giving up Harry because I had no magic, but we showed her. Didn't we Harry?"
"Yes she was stunned into silence." Harry thought now that the suit retracted into its suitcase form. "I'm happy you like the new suit and reactor upgrades I made you, Dad."
"Like? No, I don't like them, I love them! You are my little genius that I thank the Universe for every single day." Tony hugged the little demi-god now that they both were Iron suits free.
"And I thank the Norns for both of you." Loki hugged his mate and son before bringing their attention to events at hand. "Now that you both are home safe and sound we must hurry the festivities has already started and Volstagg has begun the Tales of Thor youth and the battles they have won."
"The Warrior three are here?" Harry asked following his parents to the dining room.
"Yes, your Aunt Hela suggested it as a surprise for your Uncle's Birthday party. I'm not sure if the manor can survive the night when they try to relive their glory days." Loki sighed.
"SMASH!" the trio stopped in their tracks at the shout from Hulk before running the rest of the way to the Dining Room. They came to a halt to see the center of the room transformed into a Greek Coliseum Arena.
"What the Hell happened to my Home?!" Tony Shouted as they stared down to the fighting area where Thor and Hulk were bashing it out.
"Hello there, you must be Tiny Tin Man. Hela told me all about you, loud and annoying Mortal who managed to snag her Beautiful Baby Brother in matrimony." A tall man with grey hair in a gaudy gold robes and sandals appeared before them. Tony didn't like how the man's eyes were roaming his husband.
"Ex-mortal, Tony Stark, who the hell are you and what did you do to my house?" The genius made sure to put himself right between the two.
"Ah, Loki, Tin Man, I see you have met my friend. This is the Grand Master of Sakaar. I brought him as my guest. I owed him a favor and he requested a rematch with Little Brother Thor." Hela smiled wearing her battle armor.
"And the remodel to our home?"
"Well, we needed an area for the arena." The goddess shrugged.
"Yes, Hela and Loki were kind enough to provide the necessary changes for this little event. I am very impressed with Prince Loki's magic." The Grand Master leered at the Mischief God who rolled his eyes.
"And care to explain why Hulk is duking it out with Thor?" Tony asked stepping between their line of sight again.
"Oh Little Brother accepted the Grand Master's challenge and defeated his fighter, after he Volstagg into the ground. The roar of battle awoke the doctor's inner Beast. They had just started their battle when you arrived." Hela said summoning a drink from the tray of drinks Winky was carrying. "Haraldr welcome home, my nephew you are home just in time, I am to battle the birthday god next."
"Isn't that a little unkind Aunt Hela? It's Uncle Thor's Birthday he should win all his battles." Harry sighed as Butterfingers serve him a Pepsi.
"Never, your Uncle and Midgard Father must always be reminded who is superior. I shall beat him into submission, and then we shall feast the night away while they recover. Afterwards you must tell how the rest of your school went."
"HULK SMASH!" The Hulk scored another hit and the gathered crowd cheered.
"Is there anyway I can bring the green one back home with me? He is an excellent Gladiator." The Grand Master asked in awe of Hulks power.
"You try and take my boyfriend you'll be dead before you leave the room." Natasha said coming from behind the group.
"Aunt Tasha!" Harry's smiled doubled and threw himself at his Aunt. It had been months since the HYDRA take down. He was happy she was alright and here.
"добро пожаловать домой, маленький брат. I think you grew since winter." Natasha held the boy a bit closer; she had missed him so much. When he showed up during the take down she had been worried he would get hurt even with all the armor and his god like powers. When the mission was over the Widow kept a hold on the wizarding god until they were safely back at Avenger Tower.
"Feisty, Hela you never told me what interesting friends you have." The Grand Master leered stroking his goatee.
"I would be careful if I were you Grand Master. My family is not here for your entertainment or profit." Harry glared at the Gold clad man.
"Take my Nephew's warning to heart my friend. He is merciless in his defense of us, if you dare to try to take any of us from here today, I will see you in Niffleheim in several pieces. Like his father he is talented with a blade." Hela smirked taking a sip from her drink. She loved how the Grand Master went from a healthy tan to a pale white in a matter of seconds.
"Yes, well it was a pleasure to meet you all, but I must return to my guests I brought for the show. To-da-loo." The Grand Master made a quick retreat back to the arena.
"And the Winner is Thor God of THUNDER!" the announcer's voice rang out.
"Well Little Brother has won again. I'll give in a twenty minute rest before I beat him into the ground. Winky!"
"Yes, Princess Hela?" the little came running to her side.
"Prepare Haraldr's dinner. Make sure there is plenty of meat and vegetation, then put his plate at the Sky Box Table." Hela ordered.
"Winky also make sure that Harry also has a protein shake. He needs the vitamins." Natasha added. Harry rolled his eyes at his Aunts' need to feed him.
"Right away Princess, Miss Widow." Winky bowed and popped out, leaving the women take Harry away to the sky box before his parents could protest.
"What just happened here?" Tony turned to his husband.
"My Sister and Lady Natasha have commandeered our son. Sorry about the arena and battles I was going to explain as we walked to dining room. I knew that there was going to be some kind of battle with the Warrior Three coming down for the celebrations but I didn't plan for Hela's guests. With you flying down to London to wait for Harry I couldn't discuss the change in plans or the remodeling of our home with you. But I promise that I will return everything to its proper form once they are all gone back to Sakaar." Loki promised.
"I don't care about that I know you or Hare-Bear can fix it in a second. What concerns me is your sister bringing a creepy pervert, to our home, to drool over you." Tony pulled his mate closer to him. "I don't want you going near that Gaudy Pimp Master with out me there."
"Anthony, you are being ridiculous. I'm a god and can take care of myself."
"I'm not saying I don't trust you Bambi. I'm saying I don't trust that bastard. I maybe a human with your lifespan but I fight for what's mine and you My Gorgeous God are mine." Loki was pulled in to a fierce claiming kiss which he eagerly returned.
"And you My Man of Iron are mine." The Mischief God whispered trying to catch his breath once they pulled apart. "I want no other, just you. I will stay be your side and let all who see us know that I am yours. I love you Anthony never doubt that."
"I love you too, Loki. I don't mean to sound so possessive but I hate how that guy was practically fucking you with his eyes I wanted to blast him into the next life."
"I don't mind my, love. It's enlightening to see you jealous. Maybe we can discuss it later in our own chambers but for now we are the Hosts of the celebrations. We have to ensure they do not destroy our home before the night's end."
"Bucket of ice on the libido, there Lokes." Tony deflated. "Okay, Tony Stark Universe's Greatest Party Host is on the job. I won't let the Aliens destroy our home and if they do I am holding your sister responsible."
"I don't blame you, Hela is impulsive. If even one vase is chipped from this rowdy bunch, I will assist you in your revenge on my sister." Loki smirked as his lover smiled brightly at him.
"I'm going to hold you to that Reindeer Games. Now let's go see if we can get our boy back from the two deadly women." Tony pulled his hubby into the crowd. The couple would be up late keeping their home intact but a part of them were relieved that their son was home with their crazy yet lovable family.
XxXxXxXxXx
"Welcome Prince Haraldr, Princess Shuri is waiting for you. Welcome Back Sergeant Barnes King T'Challa is waiting for that rematch." Ayo smirked.
"I look forward to it." Bucky grinned to the Chief of Security.
After Thor's birthday Harry and Bucky left for Wakanda. Steve wanted to go with them but HYDRA's left over chaos a left mess and SHEILD in tatters. Fury needed Captain America to keep the public calm in the light of the chaos. Loki was hesitant to let his son travel again after just arriving home, but the King personally request Haraldr presence. The Only problem was Wakanda was secreted away country. Very few people were allowed within its boundaries and only two allowed at a time. Since Barnes had been there before he was the perfect choice to accompany Haraldr. Tony promised his upset lover that he would make sure they stayed busy until Harry joins them in New York.
"Thank you for inviting us." Harry typed out.
The two followed Ayo through the palace to the labs of their research and development. Shuri and T'Challa were looking over the latest projects. It reminded Harry of his Dad going through the R&D department and supervising the Lab tech on SI projects. Harry was fascinated by the tech they were developing.
"Ah, Haraldr Welcome." Shuri came over to the new arrivals.
"Hi Professor Shuri, Thanks for having me here." Harry Signed.
"Sergeant, how is your new arm treating you?" she asked turning to Bucky.
"It's great, thanks. Harry just gave it a look over and tune up before we left Scotland."
"Haraldr, my prized student, we have a lot to talk about and go over while you are here. Brother I'm going to be busy with Haraldr until dinner why don't you take the Sergeant with you to do whatever you do as King." Shuri dismissed.
"Of Course sister." T'Challa laughed. "Come Barnes; let's leave the geniuses to their work. I have something I wish to discuss with you as well."
"Sure, I'd be glad to help. Harry, I'll see you at dinner don't up show everyone with that big brain of yours." Bucky followed the king out of the labs and they made their way to the Warrior training Hall.
"Sergeant Barnes I have asked you here on the advice of Ayo. We have had multiple security breeches over the last few months. It's like they are testing our defenses and I don't like it." T'Challa explained.
"I don't blame you, can you show me where and when the breaches occurred." Bucky went to the computer that had the security video was displayed. There were shadows that tried to stay out of camera view. "It looks like that there are casing out the perimeter, but only in certain spots. Has there been any changes to your security lately?"
"Yes, after my Father's death there were updates made that were long over due. He wanted to preserve the unaltered state of Africa. I understand his need to keep our lands pure but the safety of our people must come first. I know he thought that the animals in the wild would be adequate protection but this proves we were vulnerable."
"Then someone has information based off the old security system and operations. They were scouting open areas for future planning. So do you have other security measures besides the cameras?" Bucky asked going over the shadow recordings.
"For now it's just the cameras and the sensors that activate them when they are trigger. For this reason I seek your advice. I want know who is trying to enter Wakanda because I can see nothing good to come of it." T'Challa glared at the screen.
"I can see that, I'll do what I can while Harry and I are here." Bucky agreed. They had two weeks to tighten the net around the city and lay a trap for the intruder because these sighting indicated these were not friendly visits.
XxXxXxXxXx
"Everyone, take a two our lunch you have all earned it." Shuri announced to the lab after her brother and the winter soldier left. She waited until the whole lab was empty before turning to her confused student. "Security lockdown level 5."
The lights in a lab went dark before turning a light pink. "Sorry for the security lockdown. We're not in high alert but just for privacy. You can use your stone now; we need to talk about what my brother thinks he should hide from me. I am so mad at my brother but I can understand his need to try and protect me."
"Yeah, I can relate. I have a whole bunch of Aunts and Uncles who try to shelter me too. So what can I do to help?" Harry asked.
"I think using your magic along side our tech we can find who has been skulking about." Shuri brought up the video surveillance. "Now here is the section he comes through the most at least seven times since he started showing up three months ago."
"I see well I can't tell much with this being a recording but let's see this area up close." Harry opened a portal to the area but didn't go through instead he sent a minor soul circle to the field. Shuri watched in awe as Harry's sorcery skills had greatly improved since she saw him last. Harry's eyes suddenly glowed a bright green when the circle encountered an anomaly. "I found a soul impression and it's not a friendly feeling."
"Who is it?" Shuri asked as Harry brought the soul circle back.
"This impression is of someone who harbors resentment towards the crown and envy to towards the king. Also they have greed rooted deep in their heart. Wait this soul is connected to the land but has been polluted by it's time in the west. Has there been anyone exiled from Wakanda?" Harry closed the portal and looked to his mentor for answers.
"Yes, this was long ago before my birth." The princess walked to another station and pulled up a file. "Years ago my Uncle tried to sell our Vibranium to outsiders without my father's permission. You see, when my grandfather died there was a trail to see who would be the next king and my Father won in the fair fight. My Uncle did not take the loss well and begun to undermine the King's authority. He allowed outsiders to come in and mine for Vibranium for a price. My Father under the mask of the Black Panther discovered this treachery and had no choice but to either banish him or sentence him to death. My father ordered his banishment because he was too kind hearted to give him death. My uncle had a son who he took with him barely a year old at the time and we haven't seen or heard from them since."
"This soul is of someone young but full of the hate and determination. He will come back once he is sure of his victory. It is likely this is your cousin and he's after the throne."
"This is not good. We need to find out who he is and stop him."
"I'll get Friday on it but first it will send a soul blanket over Wakanda so I'll be alerted when he or anyone else who is uninvited." Harry closed his eyes and began the hand motions for the spell circle.
"You can do that? Wakanda is not a large country but from what I understand of magic there are limits to your magic core and how far you can exert your power." Shuri stated her eyes growing wide as the circle got larger and larger. The Circle grew and spread it's magic from the lab and out over the land.
"That is true with human wizards and sorcerers but I'm only half human and Half Jotun. The Jotun have larger cores because they are frost Giants. My father is a smaller than average Frost giant but he still maintains a Jotun size Magical Core. I am only half Jotun, my core will not be as large as my father but my core is three times that of a human. So I can extend my power with little effort. Wait someone just breeched the perimeter, but they are not entering Wakanda, they are moving away." Harry said activating his gloves.
"Who would be leaving Wakanda in secret? Our people are free to leave and travel as they please. Where did they leave from and where are they headed?"
"South, from the mines in this territory is where they left but are fleeing further south." Harry pointed to the position on the map."
"The Mine of Eternal Punishment. Those who are sentence to those mines die there mining for the Vibranium they stole." The princess glared hitting the prisoner escape alarm and took up arms with her gauntlets. "Come Haraldr let's go, my brother will meet us there."
"Care for a lift?" Harry smirked as he clicked his heels activating the jet boots that now incased his feet and calves. He flew forward catching his mentor off guard and flying through the halls. Shuri laughed at the absurdity of he tiny student carrying her through the palace but they were making great time and would catch the escaped prisoner and afterwards they would hopefully catch the man who had been breaking through there defenses.
A/N: Happy New Years Everyone! I am taking a bit of a break after this chapter, the Holidays have rung me and the bunnies. Hopefully in a couple of weeks I'll be ready with a new chapter.
