Princess of Death
Chapter 11
The past few years/ return of Family
Hogwarts School
Headmasters office
Albus Dumbledore sat at his desk with one hell of a headache as he thought back on the past few years, the 1992/93 school year he had noticed Severus break out of whatever funk he was in it didn't gather in his mind that Severus was only recovering of his fear of Hela.
The first thing he did was during the summer break of 1992 when he refused access to the Goblin Warders, much to his shock the Goblins laughed at him then left leaving him to believe that he truly had command over the castle again.
What he had failed to realise was the Goblins had already completed the wards during the previous school year in secret under Haralda's orders, they had only come to the school to give the headmaster the keystone so he could key himself into the wards.
So, when young Ginny Weasley took a step off the train the wards picked up the diary she carried and alerted the only person keyed into them who was not even on the world at the time so it was a complete surprise to Albus when Ginny was found knocked out in the abandoned girl's bathroom on the 2nd floor with a black book next to her with a massive hole through it.
He didn't have time to cover it up as the DMLE had arrived led by Amelia Bones with written approval from Lady Haralda the approval of which he still had it had been magically framed to the wall of the Headmasters office.
Director Bones
The wards of the Castle have alerted me that a dark object has been used within the castle perimeter, as Lady of Hogwarts I grant the DMLE full Authority to enter the Castle to Investigate this one case.
I remain
Lady Haralda Helasdottir
Lady of Hogwarts
In Self Exile
The DMLE found dark magic energy that was the same as that on the Diary of Ginny Weasley much to the shock and horror of her parents and the headmaster and the hidden glee of Lord Malfoy who was there with the Board of Governors.
Much to the parent's relief, Albus had used his position as Headmaster to block the DMLE to arrest her only to realise that they had not been given permission to arrest her by Haralda and left of course like most things that happened at Hogwarts word spread quickly and like Her brother Ginny was looked at with suspicion.
It was 3rd year however that gave Albus a very large headache When Wormtail escaped Azkaban prison, the Ministry in their wisdom sought to place dementors around the castle Albus had not agreed to it at first but as he was unable to get in contact with Haralda he was left with no choice.
So, he really should not have been shocked that a student was nearly kissed by a dementor while on the train to the school, however that student was Daphne Greengrass the eldest Daughter of Lord Cyrus Greengrass, leader of the neutral faction and a supporter of Haralda.
While she was saved by Remus Lupin, Cyrus was beyond angry he spent the next few months gathering support from the factions of the Wizengamot to move against Albus and much to the Headmasters shock they were successful in part when they gained enough votes to remove Albus as Britain's ICW representative.
This had a very negative side effect for Albus, see to Hold a post in the ICW you must be part of a Member-Nation representative and with the Headmaster losing his seat he also lost his position of Supreme Mugwump of the ICW.
The Ministry was forced to take the Dementors when the armoured Knights once again returned to life much to the shock of everyone, they would guard the castle the village of Hogsmeade and around the black lake, thankfully it seemed that Peter had left the shores of Britain.
The Queen of England had found out about the Dementors and to say she was royally pissed off is a very big understatement, she was furious that the Ministry had broken the treaty of Azkaban and brought Dementors to the mainland.
She ended up storming the Ministry with a squad of Soldiers who were a mixture of Muggleborns and half-bloods wand in hand demanding Fudge come before her, to the horror of many a small squad of Aurors who were supremacist drew their wands only to be killed by the Queen or her guards.
Fudge tried his best to explain to the Queen his reasonings, but he had no idea of this treaty it wasn't taught to them at Hogwarts the basics where Queen Elizabeth 1st went to war against the then English Magical Kingdom, a kingdom with no King however some of the Pureblood Families sided with the Queen and they were granted Lordships one of these houses was House Potter.
This Founded the Ministry for Magic they were Granted basic autonomy from Parliament but the Minister would answer to the sovereign the Island of Azkaban was on would be used as a prison for the Magical world and its Dementors would be forbidden from coming to the mainland unless granted permission by the Queen.
Albus had once again put his foot in it when he tried to explain to the Queen that she should leave this matter to the Ministry and himself only to be slapped by the Queen who then reminded him of his place beneath her as a servant of the Crown.
Yes, the past few years had been horrible for him but now this the quidditch world cup being attacked by the Death Eaters, Tom was moving fast he needed to get Haralda on his side and that of her Asgardian family that and the sheer political and financial Power of House Potter was too hard to ignore.
Maybe he could convince her to agree to a marriage contract or make a law that forced all magical Nobles Houses to marry British Magical Families, it would have to be the right family thought and young Ronald was the perfect choice in his mind.
Asgard
The Bifrost
Haralda had just returned to Asgard from Helheim after a very strange dream, she had stood before the Norns who told her that the time has come for the Prophecy to be fulfilled, but she would have a surprise for her and her Mother on Asgard.
Saying her Greetings to Lady Sif she quickly ran past telling her to find her family and to meet her at the River Elivangar, despite having a head start her family could have the advantage of Horses and quickly caught up to her just as she got to the River which was much larger than before.
Hela calming asked her why she was so determined for them to meet her here her answer greatly shocked them.
"Mother, I was resting back on Helheim when I was visited by the Norns, they told me the Prophecy that Linked Asgard and Midgard must be fulfilled by me but that a reward was waiting for me here at the Elivangar.
Odin looked worried, it couldn't be Ragnarök it was nowhere near that time yet, what prophecy could link Asgard to Midgard that's when it hit him Like a frost Giant it was the Prophecy between his granddaughter and Voldemort.
"My King Look in the River, it's an Einherjar! The whole group looked and to their shock, there was a Body in the water dressed in the Armour of an Einherjar, and before anyone could stop her Haralda jumped right in and began swimming towards the Warrior of Valhalla.
Sif, of course, jumped right in after her to help despite that Haralda was now 14 and a fine Asgardian warrior, Sif still saw her like a little sister and wanted to help that and she wanted to help an Einherjar to make sure he or she was all right.
The two grabbed hold of the Einherjar and pulled him back to shore where Odin had already called for a transport to take the returned warrior to the healing rooms none of them got a good look at the warriors face.
Haralda, Hela Sif spent the next 2 hours searching the Elivangar to find no one else had returned from Valhalla this day and that was fine, but now they would go and see the new warrior of Asgard
When they arrived, they saw Loki waiting for them he had a shockingly warm smile on his face.
He said nothing but opened the door to the healing rooms to see Frigga with tears in her eyes smiling at them Odin ironically had a smile on his face while Thor just looked shocked.
"Umm, what is wrong guys do you know the Einherjar," Haralda asked Hela however saw the said Einherjar sat up her eyes going wide with shock as tears of joy started to fall.
"Hello Hela, Haralda it's great to see you again." The man smiled his short yet still wild black hair very recognizable from the pictures and the portrait at Potter Castle.
The new Warrior from Valhalla was her Father James Potter, now a member of the Einherjar he would now have the same strength and lifespan as the Aesir like his Wife and Daughter.
Haralda completely broke and as if they were linked both she and Hela rushed forward and tackled him in a hug not noticing Odin and Frigga ushering everyone out to the reunited family to have some time to see each other again.
James sat in shock at all that had happened he didn't remember anything from his conversations in his portrait, which made sense as the Portraits of the magical world didn't hold the spirit of the dead witch of wizard only an essence of there magic which only activating upon there Death.
He was very upset at the betrayal of Albus, a man who he had looked up to and supported during the first Blood-War, but then what greatly angered him was the cowardly actions of Remus Lupin and the failure of his friend Sirius in his duty as Haralda's Godfather.
Not that she needed a Godfather considering her family were Gods, but he couldn't help but feel betrayed by men he called his Brothers but none of that mattered now he was an Einherjar of Asgard Lord James Potter was gone but that didn't mean he wouldn't gain some payback.
Later that night
Hela's Chambers
Asgard
The Goddess of Death lay in her bed next to James for the first time in over a decade she missed him dearly. "James the prophecy, our daughter how do we aid her."
"Hela, you and your family have trained our little girl to be a great warrior, and when the time comes, we will stand with her against tom and the whole Magical World if he needed."
Hela Smiled, James was right she and James and all of Asgard would stand with its Princess against her enemy's.
October 31st 1994
Hogwarts School Great hall
The Throne Remained Empty still but hopefully not for long he knew Voldemort would need Haralda to come back to his full strength so he only placed an age line and no other security around the Goblet, having publicly ordered the Knights to leave the Hall.
He had already called the 3 champions and began his speech about eternal glory when the Goblet of Fire flames turned Blue before shooting out the 4th name, catching it he acted shocked before speaking the name on the piece of parchment. "Haralda Helasdottir."
The suspected Fallout Albus predicted didn't go as he planned as many across Britain believed it was a plot to bring the Self-Exiled Lady of Hogwarts back to there shores, soon the entire magical world was informed of the Goblets 4 name.
One person who was informed was the Queen of England who wrote a letter before walking over to a secret room in her office where her Royal Phoenix Augustus was resting. "it is time my friend, take this Note to my Cousin in Asgard."
Her Phoenix thrilled his understanding plucking the letter from her hand before flashing from Midgard his permission to enter Asgard already approved after all she had been taught the art of Magic by not only wizards loyal to the crown but secretly by Frigga and Loki.
Authors note: so, James is back sweet, but he is pissed at his old friends and Headmaster.
Until next time.
