Chapter 26: Finally

I wake up early the next morning and take a deep breath before getting up and putting the armor I made out of basilisk metal before going to the great hall, where everyone else is gathered for breakfast, I take my seat and we all eat before I stand, silently telling Hella to make a bigger noise in order to get everyone to come to the front of the school, a moment later we hear a big boom, making everyone else jump up and race to the front of the castle.

I get up and walk to the front of the crowd as Dumbledore says, "Nobody panic! I assure you all that we can win this."

"If you wish to join Loki's forces separate yourselves from Dumbledore now!" I call out, "There is a better chance of you all living if you don't follow Dumbledore."

About three quarters of the people in the wards separate themselves from Dumbledore. I then tell Hella that Loki can make his offer now so Loki announces, "Attention people of Hogwarts, I offer you all a choice. You can either stand against me, and be taken over by force. Or, you can stand by me willingly, and live a free life in this new world."

Most of the people who separated from Dumbledore go down and join Loki, leaving me, my friends, Avengers included, Neville, Harry, and Lily. Then the Avengers walk down and join them, followed by my friends, leaving me standing with Neville, Harry, and Lily. I smirk a bit as Dumbledore says, "Poor dear girl, all of your friends..."

Neville walks up and joins next so Vernon says, "Even one of the supposed kings are joining." The next two join Loki's forces, causing Vernon to say, "Look what you have now, girl! You're all alone, just like freaks like you should be."

"Vernon, it's adorable that you think that I am alone." I tell him before walking forward, slowly dropping the spell covering my cape as I walk up and bow to Loki, "King Loki, I welcome you to Hogwarts." I then stand and look at Hella and grin as I say, "Welcome to you as well, Queen Hella."

Loki smirks and says, "You may unite with your soulmate now, general."

I walk over and wrap my arms around Hella's waist before reaching up and kissing her. Once the kiss ends I turn and stand next to her, one of my arms still around her waist as she places one of her arms around my shoulders. A few moments of silence passes before Vernon yells, "You traitorous little freak! Get back over here now!"

I stare at him blankly for a moment before casually asking, "Do you remember when you asked about my scars?"

"Yes." Hella says, her tone shifting into a slightly more dangerous one.

"That's the guy that gave them to me." I tell her and she tenses a bit.

"I said now!" Vernon yells at me.

I ignore him and look at Loki before saying, "Lord Loki, shall we deal with the rebels?"

"Yes." he says before looking at me, "Capture them if you can, kill them if you can't."

"Yes sir." I tell him before pulling out my sword and beginning to casually walk towards the group of rebels. Vernon apparently takes this as a cue and charges at me. I smirk before pulling out my wand and stunning him. Dumbledore then draws a wand, apparently loaned to him by someone else, as the rest of the rebels charge us.

I hear others from our side rush forward as I casually approach Dumbledore. He glares at me and aims his borrowed wand, trying and failing to cast a spell. I see him scowl before drawing a sword from his robes. He swings it at me and I block easily before returning the gesture with a spell to shove him back a few feet. He stumbles and I rush forward, racing around him and attacking him from every side as he tries to block me.

After a while of playing with him I use the hilt of my sword to knock him out before feeling something flying towards me and making an electric shield manifest around me, absorbing the spell as I turn to the sender, finding Umbridge and Fudge, glaring at me with their wands raised.

"Stop this madness now, girl!" Fudge demands.

"You are in no position to make demands of me." I say easily, seeing Hella approaching them from behind, easily killing anyone who gets in her way...man she looks hot right now.

I refocus and rush forward, slicing through their wands in a single movement before watching as Hella knocks them out from behind. I turn and continue fighting. Soon enough we have all the rebels either knocked out or dead. I smile before removing my helmet and turning to Hella, who is standing victoriously over a fallen rebel, his friend begging for mercy.

I walk over and wrap my arms around her waist, feeling her muscles relax. She looks over at me and I smile before pulling away and grabbing her hand, walking with her back over to Loki, who is looking over the injured people from our side. I look around them and tense when I see Dudley on the ground, looking slightly shocked.

He looks up at me when I approach and says, "Someone woke Vernon up."

"What happened?" I demand.

"He broke my arm, then someone gave him a knife and he stabbed Sal in the arm before being taken down by Hermione." he tells me and I scowl. "Sal's fine, thankfully. Madam Pomphrey is taking him to the hospital wing to tend to his wound."

"Are you alright?" I ask him and he nods.

"Just a bit shocked about it." he says before standing, "I'm gonna head to the med wing. I'll see you later, Iris." I nod and he takes a few steps before pausing and looking back at me. "I saw Pansy go down, then she was buried in fallen rebels, I don't know where she is."

I tense again before striding back over to where the main part of the battle happened. I dig around the bodies and hear Hella ask, "Who is Pansy?"

"One of my oldest friends." I say easily, "I met her in first year." I move another body and tense when I find Pansy laying there. I pull her from the pile and lean down, checking her neck for a pulse. A few moments pass before I pull my hand away and look at Hella, "I need to take her to the hospital wing. I'll meet you in the Great Hall to deal with the rebels who are still alive."

She nods and I pick up Pansy before walking away. When I get to the infirmary I find it half full of injured people. I walk over and place Pansy on an empty bed next to her father, who appears to have a broken leg. He looks at her and his eyes go wide before he asks, "What happened to her?"

"She's alive." I promise him, "She's just unconscious." Madam Pomphrey rushes over and casts some diagnosis spells on her. I look over once she's done, "Is she alright?"

"She'll be fine. She was hit with a spell to induce extreme exhaustion." she tells me and I nod before turning to another nearby bed, where I find Pansy's mother, looking worriedly at her daughter.

I use sign language to tell her what Pomphrey said and she relaxes before I look at Pansy's dad and say, "I need to head to the Great Hall to deal with the rebels."

"Of course." he says before Pomphrey moves to another patient. I turn and head out, going to the Great Hall, which is set up for a trial, with two more thrones on the dais than usual. I walk up and take my seat next to Hella's throne as several others from our side file in and take seats. Most of the trial ends with the rebels being mind controlled by Loki, until Vernon, Umbridge, Fudge and Dumbledore.

They are forced to kneel before us and Loki smirks at them before saying, "You four led the rebels against my forces. For this, you will receive worse punishments than what they got. Deloris Umbridge, you will spend the rest of your days in a prison built for you. Cornelius Fudge, you shall spend the rest of your days as a servant of my house. Vernon Dursley and Albus Dumbledore...your punishments are not to be left in my hands."

"Then who is deciding what happens to us?" Vernon demands, trying to rise to his feet, but being forced back into place by the Chitari soldier that is behind him.

"Your fate lies in the hands of my general and her soulmate." Loki says with a smirk before looking over at me, "General? What would you have us do to them?"

"Vernon is to be turned over to Hella to do with what she wishes." I say, looking at Hella and seeing her grin at me. "Long as I get to watch."

"Of course, my dear." Hella says and I have Hogwarts give me the Will Cuffs from the Chamber.

"Albus Dumbledore. Three years ago you planned to place these Will Cuffs on me." I say, looking at the old man, "For this reason I feel it is fitting that we should put them on you and let you live out the rest of your natural days as a servant to Hella and I."

"Dear girl, please see reason!" Dumbledore protests, "What I did was for–"

"The Greater Good, yes, so you've said." I interrupt, sneering the words at him, "I think this is the most fitting punishment for you...until your death you will serve Hella and I. Upon your death your soul will fall to Hella's domain."

I look at Hella and she smirks before saying, "It seems fair to me." I stand and walk down to Dumbledore, placing the cuffs on him and smirking before Hella comes up next to me and wraps her arms around me. I turn and kiss her before pulling away again. She smirks at me, "Let's go home."

I nod before allowing her to take me away, going to Asgard to start our life together.

Hella and Iris got married the next week and Hella gave Iris an apple of immortality. The two ruled Asgard from then on out. Each of Iris' friends and their families were given lands to rule of their own and immortality if they wanted it, as were Iris' family. Hermione eventually married Viktor, the two of them had two children. Under their command the school was returned to what they had dreamed it to be. Harry and Neville remained as the kings of the kingdom of Hogwarts, eventually finding wives and having children of their own.

Ronald had apparently died in the battle, his soul was sent into the rebirth cycle to give him a chance at a second life. Albus lived the rest of his days as a slave and Vernon was left in the hands of Hella, though she did let Iris pay him back for a few of her scars. Loki brought balance to the earth, mutants, magicals, and humans were all seen as equal and after a few generations, the only thing known was Loki's rule. Iris often goes to earth to visit her friends and family. While there one day she found a set of abandoned twins. She took them back to Asgard after searching for their family and they were adopted by her and Hella.

Upon their thirteenth birthdays the twins, Holly and Scott, were given apples of immortality. Iris taught them magic and Hella taught them to fight. Everything was peaceful from there on out and Iris was happy with the changes she had helped bring about.
