"It's alright." Harry reassured Loki with a smile. "The beings in the room weren't the only weird things, but I shall let you see it for yourself at a later day, but first you will need to meet with your children. Though I have to warn you, they aren't overly fond of me at the moment. I believe that it had something to do with their 'pour papa' who was enslaved by such a brute." Harry teased Loki. "They did attack me, but I could hold them of for a few moments. We were interrupted by another House Elf, but enough about that. Would you like to see them? Your children?"

"Yes, I would love that." Loki said hopefully.

Now

Loki had limped the whole way to the guest wing. It certainly slowed the way, but Loki didn't want any help from Harry. Harry did try to help him, but every time Loki fended him off.

Harry sneaked a peek at Loki through his eyelashes while pretending to tie his shoelaces. Loki looked better than he had ever since… ever actually. Most of his wounds were closed or healed. His back would take a bit longer to heal, but for now it would mostly be sore instead of hurting so much that Loki couldn't move anymore. Loki was mostly still limping because of his lacerations on his back and his nether regions.

"Are you going to come or are you keep staring at me?" Loki called out from the few meters that he walked in front of Harry.

Shaking his head, Harry answered with a laugh. "I'm coming, but don't wait up for me. Just go ahead. I believe that you will be hearing them before the time is out. I at least could when I was visiting them the last time. They're quite a busy bunch of children who aren't really children anymore."

Loki just snorted and walked further. "I wouldn't know actually, I haven't seen them in a very long while…" Loki fell silent, almost lost in his thoughts.

"I'm sorry."

"Hmm? What for?" Loki turned towards Harry who had jogged up to him.

Harry sighed. "Your children… I don't know exactly what happened to them, but the first time I met them, they were so suspicious and they still are. Children should never grow up to be suspicious and having to look over their shoulder at every time of their day to be sure that they are safe."

"Stop it." Loki snapped suddenly.

"I beg you pardon?" Harry asked bewildered. He certainly didn't expect that reaction.

Loki turned around completely. "You know nothing about my children and you know nothing about the way that they were brought up. And you certainly shouldn't be apologising. Just… just leave it alone." Loki shot Harry a look full of distain and started limping again.

"Loki… I'm." Harry started saying before he gave up and just walked after Loki giving him directions on which way he had to go to arrive.

The rest of the walk was spent in silence. It didn't seem as if they were ready to talk again, instead preferring to let their minds wonder. It took a bit longer than normal, but they were there and it was all for a good cause. They finally stood in front of the door. Loki was vibrating with anticipation. He was finally going to see his children again!

"Where are you waiting for?" Harry asked with a smirk looking at Loki from the corners from his eyes.

Loki looked taken aback. "I beg you pardon."

"They are your children; you should open the door." Harry sounded amused at Loki's confused look. "What's wrong? You didn't think that I would let you open the door to your own children?" Harry gave an amused snort. "Go on… open that Merlin be damned door."

Loki glared at Harry playfully and laid his hand on de doorknob. He hesitated for a brief moment, but he stood up strong and pushed the doorknob down.

The first thing that registered in Loki's mind was that he was getting attacked. He hadn't even put a full step into the room, but from all sides people attacked. One from above that wrapped something around his body, so that he couldn't move anymore. One from the side to kick him to the floor and the last one attacked from the front with a knife held to his throat.

Loki's eyes flew open wide and he tried to say something, but the knife was only pressed harder against his throat.

"Remember me next time to open doors myself or get a House Elf to do so." Harry said shocked at what happened before moving into the room and addressing the beings that attacked Loki. "I'm not quite sure if I should be flattered or not. It's not everyday that a group of kids think that it's a good idea to attack you, but seriously? You should check the person you attack first before you attack. It can safe you lots of trouble. Right, Sleipnir, set a few steps back will you? Hell, don't even think about hiding that knife again. You will give that to me, just like any other weapons that you could possibly have with you. Jörmungandr, please let go of your father before he suffocates, will you?"

The three siblings looked flabbergasted at the one who they had caught and didn't hesitate with following Harry's orders.

Harry walked towards Loki and helped him stand up, being mindful of his back. "Are you alright?" Harry asked concerned. "Before you ask, no I didn't plan this ambush."

Loki groaned. "I am alright. Though I didn't remember my children beings this…" Loki sought for a word, "interesting. If that's the right word."

Harry chuckled. "I believe that that is the best word one can use in a situation like this."

Harry helped Loki towards a chair in which Loki immediately sat in. The little walk was tougher than he had expected. Especially with the weird outcome form it.

"Thank you." Loki said with gratitude

"It's my pleasure. Now I shall leave you and your children for some alone time. You all deserve it." Harry walked away, but not before he took another look at Hell. "I want those weapons as soon as possible. I don't think that you would hurt your father, but still…" Harry walked out of the door, but not before hearing a few words that stopped his heart.

"What about Fenrir? Did something happen to him?" Loki asked fearfully.

AN: Alright, last week I got a guest review saying that my story was getting boring and that is I am saying the same things over and over again. Plus, that the last really exciting thing happened was in chapter 8, which I can understand. I wanted to know if multiple people thought the same thing. I can understand that that's possible, but if many people think that, then I can try to change some things of the story or just scrap it completely to make a new story. Please, don't feel compelled to answer. It's just something that I was thinking about. After all, it's only my second "big" story and I'm still learning.

That said, I wish you a very good new year and I hope that the old one may go out with a bang!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
