Chapter 49 "Gathering of the Realms"
"Okay Lokison, tell me again, why I am here?" Theo pulled his cloak around him as he stood on the platform of 9¾ with the rest of the MAGIC waiting for the station to clear up.
"Theo, we have already told you were going with Harry for spring break." Daphne rolled her eyes. For the safety of MAGIC Harry insisted that all of them come to Asgard. They also could represent Midgard's Magical Community in this Summit of the Nine Realms. The Ravenclaw had opened his father's pocket dimension and sent all their trunks ahead to Asgard so now they were just waiting for their escort.
"Greetings Nephew, I see that you have brought your friends."
"Aunt Hela I thought that I wouldn't see you until we got to Asgard." Harry hugged the Goddess.
"Well someone had to fetch you, as your uncle Thor suddenly fell asleep forgetting it was his duty to retrieve you." Hela explained but the young demi-god knew there was more that she wasn't saying. "Now that the other mortals are gone you all stand close together. Heimdall, I, Hela Goddess of Death call on you to open the gates to Asgard!" The group was enveloped in the rainbow light and pulled them to the land of the gods.
"Welcome Home, Princess Hela and Prince Haraldr. Welcome young warriors of Midgard." The gatekeeper bowed to the royals and greeted the mortals.
"Are the Carriages ready?"
"Yes Princess, but Queen Frigga has sent Sleipnir for Prince Haraldr."
"Of course she did. Well than I shall have to race my dear nephew to the palace." Hela smirked before letting out an ear piercing whistle. The humans covered their ears and Harry's eyes widened as he felt the shift in magic. Suddenly the ground was shaking and it got worst as if it something coming closer to them.
"Hooooowl!" Suddenly the giant Hellhound came to a full stop in front of the terrified mortals.
"Good boy Fenris. We're going to have a little race with Haraldr and Sleipnir won't that be fun." Hela cooed and climbed on to the Hound's massive back while Harry rolled his eyes as he mounted the eight legged horse. "Heimdall make sure to send to mortals on after we have left the bridge."
"Yes My Princess."
"Come Fenris, let us show Haraldr how we race in Asgard." Hela nudge the wolf into a run but it wasn't long before Harry and Sleipnir had not only caught up but were pulling ahead. The gods were laughing as they ran the familiars fast and free. Frigga shook her head in amusement as she watched from the steps of the palace as the two got closer and closer.
"Hello my darlings did you have a good race?" the Queen asked as they came to a stop before the steps.
"Yes mother we did. But I believe that Haraldr and Sleipnir has won by just a hair." Hela dismounted the hound and he returned to the size of a mortal dog allowing him to enter the palace.
"I believe you are right. Both of you go and freshen up. Haraldr I have new formal armor that incorporates your heritage realm, home realm, and the realm of your birth for you in your room. The delegates from the other realms will be here be evening and all the House of Odin must be in attendance in formal leathers and armor."
"Yes, Grandmother." Harry hugged the elder goddess before running inside. Once he was gone Frigga turn a disapproving look to her daughter.
"Hela you have got to stop putting others to sleep just to get your way."
"Mother, I have done no such thing. It's not my fault I have to take up the duties of others who fall asleep when they should be awake."
"Hela, your brother has never been known to fall asleep in the middle of the hallway leaving the throne room on his way to the front palace doors. Loki found him and undid your spell leaving them both in a foul mood."
"They are too sensitive." The Death goddess sniffed finding the sky suddenly very interesting.
"Honestly you are all over a millennium old; you and your brothers must stop acting as if you are children of under a hundred. Let us go inside and get ready for our guests. Thor's Shield brothers will take care of the young ones when they get here. Isn't that right Sir Rogers?"
"Please call me Steve, your Majesty." The captain smiled as he and Bucky descended the stairs.
"Very well, Steven, then. Thank you for taking charge of Haraldr's warriors."
"It's our pleasure. We'll get them squared away, right Bucky?"
"Yeah once ceremonies are over they're going to head to the training fields." Bucky said ready to see how Harry's friends had improved since they last saw them.
"See the Mortals can look after their own. I need to finish a few things in Niflheim I will be back in time for the feast Mother." Hela gave her mother a kiss on the cheek and vanished in a puff of green smoke.
"Children, they are always on the go." Frigga sighed exasperated. "I shall see you warriors at the feast good day."
"Good afternoon Ma'am." Steve and Bucky bowed as the Queen glided away.
It wasn't long before the carriages arrived with the MAGIC students. The captain greeted the students and started explain what was going to go on during their stay in Asgard. The MAGIC students nodded and smiled getting excited about participating in the games. The Slytherin who was not part of MAGIC was less then pleased at this news.
"I've never fought in my life I'll be slaughtered!" Nott exclaimed in a panic.
"Don't worry Theo, Big Brother said you and I will be Earth or as they say here Midgard Diplomatic Representatives as we are better with Magic and words than physical strength or combat." Luna said dreamily taking the Slytherin's hand in hers.
"That's right you two will be with Agent Phil Coulson and Miss Potts talking with other diplomats and informing the other Realms of the Magic users on earth. King Jareth will be here as well to add credit to your words." Steve reassured the teen.
"Steve will take you to your rooms later right now I'm taking Harry's group to the fitting room. Stark has got some equipment to make Armor for you all. While you guys have magic and have been training under Harry these competitors are going to be ten times stronger and I doubt they'll pull their punches. Now while we are allies of Asgard we can not accept armor from them, as we need to show our own advances made on earth. So after your fitting you'll have about an hour maybe two to rest in your rooms. Since there are going to be a lot of delegates the Queen has divided your rooms into two dorms like rooms the girls in one room boys in the other. Harry sent her a picture of how you have dorms at school so it should be comfortable." Bucky explained as he led the group to where Tony had his scanning equipment. It had taken him three months earth time to create portable equipment that wouldn't get destroyed by the Bi-frost. Now he could move his lab from their manor in Asgard to the Palace no sweat.
"Hey guys I'm glad to see familiar faces."
"Hey Peter, it's good to see you." Daphne smiled at the older teen. She thought Peter was sweet but they didn't click as she had hoped but instead became good friends. They emailed back and forth since Christmas. She found out that he had a crush on a girl in his chemistry class. The boy was too shy to make an attempt to ask her out. She had been trying to encourage him to at least say 'hi' but there has been no progress as of yet.
"Hey kids, this is new for me and Jarvis in mass Armor Production so it might take a try or two get it right so it shouldn't be too painful." Tony smiled at the worried looking wizards and witches. "I'm kidding relax not Peter is going to direct you guys where to stand for your scan. Jarvis will be manufacturing the armor using Harry's nano tech programming and Friday will be making the re-enforced flexible under armor."
"Okay Girls line up to the right on the blue pod here and Friday will scan you first. Guys you line up to the left next to the green Pod so Jarvis can scan you. Then we'll switch." Peter pointed out showing the other teens where to stand.
"After you're done Harry wants the Copycats to meet him in his office for special instruction." Tony instructed not looking up from the control panel. Everyone turned to Fred and George but the brothers looked unfazed by this request. The rest of the long afternoon went smoothly and soon they were all in the dorms getting ready for the feast.

"So Haraldr these are your chosen."
"Yes Grandfather. This is Fred and George Weasley they have improved past my other classmates and are strong enough to compete in the more difficult challenges. They are also my chosen guards for feasts as they are more observant than people give them credit for." Harry introduced the Twins to Odin. The duo was really intimidated by the power rolling off the King of the Gods. They tried not to squirm under such pressure but a small shiver here and there hopefully went unnoticed.
"Excellent. Now go ready yourselves for the feast. Now you must retire to you rooms to get ready for the Feast. With the new armor created for you, you will be representing a bond between three Realms. This is the Reason you must have guards during the Summit you are not only heir to these three realm but you are the Crown Prince of the Yggdrasil. The Fates have blessed you with power that no other has received. There will be many who will envy that power as well as fear it. So keep on guard and trust no one outside your circle of family and your warriors who are true to you." Odin warned before patting the boy on the back letting his magic connect and soothe his grandson's nerves.
"Yes, Grandfather. We'll see you at the feast." Harry smiled softly more relaxed then when he entered the room. Odin saw the boys off before retuning to his desk and suddenly the air ripple before showing the current king of Jotunheim. Helblindi has used his seidr to make himself smaller as to fit within the smaller palace.
"Clever Odin. Haraldr is protected yet unaware of the true danger that is looming within the shadows."
"I will do whatever I have to, to protect my grandson. Tell me did you feel the dark intent when they visited your palace?"
"Yes, I did. My seidr and Clan Brother Loki's seidr protected young Haraldr from the malice that seek to harm us. I feel shame that it is one of my people that wanted to harm them. So we need to protect them both at all cost, but I feel their main target will be my nephew." Helblindi said grimly.
"Agreed. Thank you for coming a bit early for this meeting."
"Loki asked and I came upon the request of my Clan Brother. I am looking forward to strengthening our bonds. I thank you for returning the casket of winters to my people. With the casket and the Moon Falls, my people shall survive and thrive once again."
"I admit it was wrong to keep it this long but Laufey was out of control and all reason had failed with him. I was trying to punish him and showing him the damage he was doing to his people and the other realms but he didn't care. You are a good king Helblindi I wish you and your loyal and true people well. May the traitor parish under your knife." Odin held his hand out to the Frost giant. The King of Jotunheim clasped the forearm of the King of the Golden Realm sealing the first step of peace.

Due to the major height difference of many of the guests Frigga and Loki were busy with enchantments to resize their guests to fit within the Palace and their assigned rooms. Hela smirked as she approached the duo with some Valhalla spring water. The water replenished seidr in magic users and physical drain in worn warriors. The Goddess of death rarely used this water as many were unworthy to consume it but today and until the end of the Summit her family will be using their magic more then ever. They could not afford to be depleted for fear of collapsing during the Summit.
"Hello Baby Brother, Mother please drink you both are running low on magic."
"Thank you dear, it has been a drain but this summit long over due. To think this was possible because of Haraldr's victory challenge. His victory was the catalyst for the Realms reunited." The queen took the glass with the water gratefully as did Loki.
"Yes Mother, you have said so several times. Thank you Sister, the Dwarves were especially difficult to enchant. I haven't see my son today did he arrive alright?" Loki asked downing his water and sighing in relief.
"He did Baby Brother don't worry so much. There is much to be done for the feast, so off to the bathing chambers with you. Thor and the Tin Man are waiting for you."
"Yes, Sister. I'll see you later Mother." The god gave each goddess a kiss on the cheek before heading to the bath.
"You must stop teasing Anthony Dear, he loves Loki and Haraldr. There is no need to torment him."
"He still hasn't proved he is worthy of my Baby Brother's affection to my satisfaction. So I will never approve until then." The Death Goddess huffed crossing her arms.
"Hela you should try and set a better example. Haraldr is starting to show signs of over-protectiveness and disapproval of Little Sister Luna's fated." Frigga explained but soon gave up as she saw a sharp approving grin appear on her daughter's face.
"Good, he is learning well. I always knew that my adorable nephew was brilliant. I'll keep an eye on the two so Haraldr can concentrate on the summit. You should go rest before the feast Mother. I know father is in your chambers taking a quick nap since he finished his private meetings. I'll handle things from here until the feast."
"I shall do that, thank you Daughter. Oh and here come the Warrior Three I am sure they will be happy to assist you." Frigga glided off.
"Ah, Princess Hela, lovely to see you in Asgard once again." The Blonde warrior smiled placing a kiss on the hand of the goddess.
"Save your charm for the barmaids Fandral. This is an important event and you'll have to be on your best behavior. Now Volstagg you'll be in charge of guiding the Dwarves to the Hall for the feast and the fields during the games. Hogun you will be in charge of the Fire Giants from Muspelheim. Fandral you are taking the delegation from Vanaheim and can't stress this enough but No flirting with the Princesses they are all spoken for." Hela glare at Thor's oldest friend.
"I would never have flirted with engaged Maidens." Fandral protested acting affronted.
"Of course not and my Fenris is a tame little pussy-cat. Now go put on your best leathers we have delegates to impress." Hela dismissed. The Warriors lumbered out of the hallway. The Goddess strolled to the Golden hall where the feast would beheld and then let her leathers melt away to her formal gown and cape. He crown became hair once again and braided itself away from her face with a slight twist at the end. As she walked around the room she watched the servants set out plates and silverware. She sent out her magic setting protection charms everywhere she could think of. Loki had briefed the family on what had happen on Jotunheim during his last visit with Haraldr. Thor wanted to hunt the traitor down but Mother and Odin held him back and calmed the Thunder god. Loki was a bundle of nerves even though he gave off a calm demeanor. Her parents were deeply concerned over the threat on their only grandchild.
"A-ha, there you are Princess Hela setting up for the feast."
"Jareth you are early the feast is not for another three hours." Hela sighed in annoyance.
"That is true but I finished with my work ahead of schedule and decide to pop on over. My Mother is already here but is napping in her rooms right now." Jareth smiled as he admired the decorations.
"Yes Lady Aria arrived at sun rise. She and Mother wanted some time alone before the summit because they will be busy. She has arrived with your younger sister Evelynn."
"Good, the poor girl doesn't get out enough. My Mother and Step-father have been trying to get her to socialize more but Eve is just so shy."
"She's only a hundred and fifty years old barely a teenager in Midgard terms. Maybe she'll get along with Haraldr friends. They are easy to talk to and Little Sister Luna is a seer they can share in tales of their share gift." Hela offered. Lady Aria was remarried twenty years after the death of her First husband to an elf who had been in love with her since childhood. After a mourning period of ten years Lord Almerth asked the King of Alfheim if he could court the Princess Aria. The king gave his blessing as long as Aria wanted the courtship. Aria had accepted her grief and was ready to move on. After ten year of courting they married and had Evelynn. Jareth loved his baby sister and spoiled her when ever he visited his mother. He worried about her being so shy and having no friends. This summit would be good for her.
"Perhaps you are right. Haraldr and his friends can help her blossom into The Princess I know she is fun, charming, and gifted. She just is too shy to let others see what I see."
"I am glad you have a plan, but now go away I am busy getting the hall ready."
"Very well I should go check on my Mother and sister. Please remember to save me a dance Princess Hela. It has been too long since we danced together."
"Not long enough." The goddess muttered returning to her task ignoring the laughter of the leaving Goblin King.
Hela finished with the hall when she was satisfied with her spell work then made her way to Haraldr's chambers where he was getting ready. He had sent her a letter asking to speak with her privately before the summit began. Something heavy must be weighing on the child's mind to ask to talk away from his father.
"Knock, knock."
"Come in."
"Do you need help Haraldr?" Hela pushed opened the door to see her adorable nephew struggling with the modified armor.
"Please! I know this is traditional Jotunheim mostly furs and armor plates but I feel a bit exposed here." Harry looked to the goddess holding up the chains holding up the golden armor plates. He had on Leather Asgardian trousers with matching boots and his tech Iron Lad arm bands but he was having trouble with the Jotun Armor and he was bare to the waist down.
"It's because Jotun have a tougher skin then other species the plates cover the vital points and protect you from being fatally injured. Ah, your crown is so very, how the Midgardians say, cool." Hell picked up the horned crown made of ice. It resembled Loki's horned crown that he wore for formal occasions and that of his war helmet, only smaller.
"It's carved from the Jotunheim Ice Stone. So it looks like ice and is cool to the touch but it won't melt. I need to merge it with my Crown of Yggdrasil. Aunt Hela I can't get this armor on; please help." The small Jotun pleaded.
"Okay, you have made it more complicated than it needs to be. Now, come stand before the mirror." Hela used her magic to hold the armor floating in front of the mirror keeping it level with Harry's height. "Now concentrate on the armor and how it will fit to your body. Then allow you magic to consume it and settle it on your body properly."
"Yes Aunt Hela." Harry focused on the armor and following his aunt's instructions was able to shift the armor on to his body like he did with his leathers. "Thank you. I thought I was going mad. But it does not feel quiet right, why?"
"It will feel better once you change into your Jotun form after you are introduced. This summit is essentially to introduce you to the Realms as the Supreme Ruler of the Realms. You even rule over the All Father as Crown Prince of the Yggdrasil. The Fates have entrusted you with this Universe and it future and all the realms can feel it. I know it is a lot to taken in but this is your path. Most important thing to remember is that we are all with you and here for you should you need us."
"Thank you, Auntie." Harry hugged the older goddess his shoulders slumped a bit wit relief that he was not without his family.
"No thanks necessary. Now what did you need to speak with me about?"
"It's about a classmate of mine. His name is Theo Nott and he is Luna's fated. Well after Christmas we returned to find him almost beaten to death and had to heal him in secret. He told us that his mother had been held captive by his father and he hasn't heard from her since the beginning of second year. He believes she has been killed but we need to confirm it before we move forward with either a rescue plan for Lady Nott or an escape plan for Theo." Harry explained taking the crown Hela held out to him for him to merge with his Mind stone embedded in of the crown.
"I see, it must be very hard for the child not knowing, but I can confirm if she has past over. What was her Mortal birth name? If the Soul was unhappy in their married life they will never acknowledge their married name. That is why in mortal ceremonies they have that line until death do they part." The Goddess summoned a huge tomb that was use for keeping records of the dead.
"She was Mortal Witch named Martha Mathews of the Hufflepuff House."
"I am sorry dear Nephew; she has crossed over to Valhalla. She had a terrible and unspeakable death yet her soul did not break. Martha's soul remained pure granting her a peaceful afterlife. After the Summit you and I will speak with the child. He does not need to know of how she died but that she is finally at peace. I believe that his new guardians will be able to support him through his grief and prevent him from causing harm to himself and not running off for vengeance."
"Agreed. Luna is anchoring him now, but he'll need more than her to help him." Harry sighed with a pout as he put the now merged horned crown with the Mind Stone in the middle for all the realms to see, on his head.
"Oh Haraldr you look so grown up," Hela dabbed her misty eyes with a handkerchief. "Stop pouting it ruins the effect. Your grandmother explained to me that you are less than please with Little Sister finding her fated so soon but you needn't worry I will keep an eye on them while you are busy with Summit. She'll be well looked after."
"Thank you Aunt Hela. I know I am being unreasonable."
"Nonsense, there is nothing wrong with protecting the honor of one's family even if it involves some mild threats of bodily harm." The goddess smirked.
"Like I said unreasonable. You yourself still threaten Dad on regular bases."
"Just making sure he is keeping you and your father happy. There is nothing wrong with that. Let us depart the guests are now gathering in the Hall for the feast. You'll have to wait in the chamber near the entrance with your friends. Then after all the Realms delegates have filled the hall then Heimdall will come get you for your introduction and you will be followed by your MAGIC entourage in their formal robes as they call them with the exception of your guards. Your grandmother has already supplied them with red and gold Asgardian Leathers, the Tin man chose the color scheme totally gaudy. Anyways remember that as you descend into the hall you will slowly transition from your Mortal Human form to your Jotun form showing all your heritage and pride."
"Wonderful," Harry sighed shoulders slumped. Hela smiled softly wrapping her arms around the godling and Harry leaned in soaking up the support and affection. "I hate being on display."
"I know Child. Your father was the same way when he was your age, but we must bury our discomfort for the good of the Realms. Now come along, your public awaits." The goddess summoned the fur cape from the bed and secured it to the Jotun Armor. It had been a fur once worn by his fore-barer, Loki and Helblindi's Barer. Harry was brought to tears when his Clan Uncle presented it to him because he could feel that Farbauti loved their sons even if Laufey did not. As their seidr had drained with every birth that didn't stop the hope that one day their children would be free of Laufey's rule.
As they walked to the chamber next to the hall doors, they heard servants milling about with last minute preparations. They didn't notice that they were being watched with fondness by two others that walked the same path years ago. So many things could have changed their fates and Haraldr would have never been found.
"Do you ever think of what might have been had the coronation gone through?"
"I used to but not any more. You would have made a terrible back then and I would have never known of Haraldr's existence. So after bringing my son home I no longer wonder what might have been." Loki smiled softly as Hela and Harry faded from view.
"Aye, it is the same with me. Your Child has shown me that I have blinded myself to the true character of those around me and how selfish I have been by taking you for granted. I have tried to do better to make myself a worthy brother of you and a better Uncle to Young Haraldr."
"I believe that you are on your way to becoming a better king as well as a better brother. My son has changed me for the better as well and I am more open and less bitter than I use to be. I thank the Norns every morning I wake up and every night when I go to sleep for bringing Haraldr into my life. I know now that even though I was gifted with this life my son is burden with a glorious purpose far greater than my own. It is not always easy or as joyous as it seems but he survives and he thrives."
"Aye, that he does; come let us enter the hall and wait his presentation to the Realms. Mother and Father are already there waiting for the delegates arrived with Asgard's nobility." Thor nudged his brother towards the hall doors.
"Hopefully Anthony will have heeded my warning about his suit and just wear his regular Midgard tuxedo or at least his leathers from our wedding. He wanted to fly in to the hall wearing one of his armored suits." Loki placed his own horned crown on his head as Thor dawn on his own crown with feathered wings.
"I am sure the Lady Natasha and Lady Pepper have ensured that he does not cause a scene with his choice of dress. The last I saw they were both directing all the Avengers to what they were to wear this evening."
"Then let us enjoy their presentation. I have No doubt that they will lead the Avengers in a fabulous introduction." Loki smirked knowing the two ladies would expect nothing less than perfect dress and behavior from the men in their group or there would be hell to pay.
"Darlings you are just in time. Presentations are about to begin." Frigga greeted her boys received a kiss on the cheek from each.
"Evening Mother, Evening All-Father." The Gods greeted as Thor took his place to Odin's Left and Loki to his Mother's right side. Hela soon joined them standing to Odin's right as eldest child. The Presentation went off without a hitch and Jareth came in with his Mother and Sister Evelynn the Alfheim delegation and Representative of the Goblins of Midgard. Heimdall introduced each Realm with the exception of Niflheim and Asgard.
"Announcing heroes of Midgard, The Avengers. Prince Anthony Edward Stark the Man of Iron, Lady Natasha Romanoff the Black Widow, Lord James Buchanan Barnes the Winter Soldier, Lord Steven Grant Rogers Captain America, Lord and Healer Bruce Banner, Lord Clint Francis Barton the Hawkeye, and Lord and Healer Stephen Vincent Strange the Sorcerer Supreme." Heimdall introduced the Avengers and they descend the stairs two by two. As soon as they reached the main floor Tony immediate went to his husband's side. He wanted a good view to see Harry's grand Entrance. The Avengers made their way to Pepper and Coulson who were waiting close to the bottom of the throne steps.
"Now Representatives of the Nine Realms, I present to you Prince Haraldr James Lokison Stark of the House of Odin, Prince of Jotunheim of the Clan Laufey and Crown Prince of the Yggdrasil and his court of Midgard Witches and Wizards."
Harry slowly descended the stairs with Fred and George at his back, his human form giving way to his Jotun form. As his skin went from a pale white to a light blue the armor on his chest and back melded together with his Jotun skin. He was protected yet comfortable with this armor embedded in his skin. The rest of MAGIC followed him down the stairs two by two with Peter in tow because he wasn't an Avenger yet and was more in the teenage age group as well as being only a quarter wizard. As soon as Harry reach the bottom of the stairs the crowd parted ways giving him a clear path to his family on the top of the Golden Throne Steps where he ascended to take his place in front of his father and Dad. His friends took their place by the Avengers' side.
"I thank you one and all for attending the first inter Realm Summit in Centuries. These games are for the Peace of all the Realms. The Norns have crowned their heir to the Throne of Fate, my grandson Prince Haraldr. He and his court of Midgard Warriors will be participating in the games as well. These are friendly games so any Malice injury or death will be a declaration of war against all the Realms so fair warning to all. Now we are gathered here for peace and union for all. Let the Summit Feast begin!" Odin declared striking Gungnir on the golden floor signaling the Start of not only the feast but the Summit as well.
The tables appeared once again and the delegations their places at the tables with their realm symbol. The Royal Family sat at a long table where the throne once was so they could eat and over see their guest. MAGIC sat at a table close to the Avenger table closest to the Royal Family.
"Did you see the Goblin King is here?' Theo whispered as the servants placed food before them.
"Yes Theo. He is Harry's Godfather and his Mother is the Princess Alfheim." Daphne rolled her eyes.
"We see him a lot at Harry's get togethers over the Holidays." Neville confirmed.
"So you all are just chummy with one of the most powerful magicals in the Wizarding world?" The Slytherin asked wide-eyed with disbelief.
"I wouldn't say chummy but the King has helped us on personal matters at Lokison's request." Draco clarified. The teens could feel the other Aliens looking at them curiously as they were humans and much smaller than the Avengers.
"Yeah King Jareth helped me and Aunt May so we wouldn't get separated." Peter agreed enjoying the smoked sea beast.
"So this is where you all disappear too from school? Blaise thinks you all working for The Unspeakables or something like that." Theo confessed sipping the elven water.
"Blaise has a wonderfully active imagination." Susan giggled. "He wants to be a part of us but is too untrusting of not only us but himself as well."
"He uses logic when he must have faith." Luna said dreamily.
"There is nothing wrong with logic but there should be trust in one's friends." Hermione said primly.
"Yes love but some Slytherins need more proof in the pudding before taking that first bite." Fred nudged his love as ate hardily.
"True as it took our current Slytherins a bit to trust us as they do now." The Gryffindor conceded.
"Prince Firsty seems a bit nervous he's picking at his plate instead of eating." George observed. They all took a glance at their fearless leader, at the head table who looked a bit shaken as he was just moving his food about the plate.
"Poor Harry, he has never liked being the center of attention." Susan smiled sadly.
"No he hasn't, but even if he doesn't eat now I'm sure some one will get him to eat later, some one always does." Neville reminded the Hufflepuff.
"Big Brother wishes the Feast to be over but it is a long way from being done. Just like the night of the wedding it will run long. The Crown Prince is watched from the shadows, by eyes with an iced heart seeking his demise. The sky shall fall and Queen Snake will be crushed if not for the Red Knight. The Stones hold the key to keeping the peace until the end of days." Luna's eyes glowed a soft white that only those at the MAGIC table could see, before coming back to them with know memory of giving a prophecy. "I'm a bit parched is there more water?"
"Of course Luna, Theo, please pour her some more water you are closer to the pitcher." Daphne replied giving her fellow Slytherin a quick kick to the shin to snap him out of he stupor.
"Yes sorry, just a lot of new people that I got distracted." Theo said quickly translating Daphne's glare at him as 'act normal or I'll kill you'. He poured the Ravenclaw more water blushing as she smiled so sweetly at him in thanks.
"Malfoy you're meeting Harry in the morning, I believe. You should bring this new insight to his attention." George suggested.
"Forge and I will scout out about before we meet up to escort our prince to the training field." Fred said as he glanced around the room. He and George had been training their magic to sense lies and malice under Harry's instruction trying to be better and one with their magic making them better to watch over their Prince.
"Until we can all meet up tomorrow we keep our eyes open and ears to the ground." Peter said softly stretching out his spider-senses.
"Why would we put our ears on the ground we would look ridiculous." Nott look at the older teen as if he was crazy and Draco rolled is eyes.
"It's a figure of speech Theo dear. Peter is just saying that we should be aware of everything and trust no one but us." Daphne explained and the others gave nods of agreement. The Summit had just begun and they will have to be on guard until the very end.
A/N: The Plot bunnies have struck again. They are trying to get these chapters out in between RL busy events. Like We just went to a wedding and had to do a lot of prep work and help out to get it done perfectly for my brother-in-law. I Should remind everyone that the Buns have a very low attention span and have started another story base off of Doodles seen on Tumblr. So sorry for the wait I am slave to the buns. I thank you for your patience and Thanks for Reading and Keep Reviewing. The plot Bunnies need food.
