Princess of Death
Chapter 26
Hail Hydra
Raven Croft Manor
Oxfordshire England
Two weeks after the battle for New York
Haralda had spent the last two weeks with her new Shield representative Agent Coulson who had been reassigned until he was eligible for full fieldwork again after being stabbed in the chest.
I know what you're thinking; what did Director Fury do when he found out that the Duchess of Inverness and Princess Haralda were the same person? Simple, he asked one simple question, did Director Carter know who she was?
When he was told, she had he nodded walked out of his office out of the building and towards the nearest bar, annoyed at the fact he didn't put the bits together that, and he swore he could hear Peggy Carter laughing at him…. then again that may have been the whiskey talking.
As for the Avengers, they were glad Coulson was alive, especially Natasha and Barton; they had known him the longest out of their fellow Avengers.
"Your Grace, Secretary Pierce is here; he is urgently requesting an audience." One of her guards spoke, distracting her from the documents Coulson had just placed before her. Giving permission, the guard allowed the Secretary to enter her office.
"Your Grace, I thank you for permitting me to speak with you on such short notice; however, is there any chance we may speak alone." He asked, noticing Agent Coulson standing there holding some documents.
Nodding in acceptance, she had Coulson leave the office, leaving her with effectively one of the most powerful men in the world. "Your Grace, I am here to talk to you about a great opportunity to aid not just our world but the Magical world too; you see, I am a member of an organisation that wants to bring Order to this world."
"Would this Organisation happen to be Hydra Mr Secretary,"
"What! How did." Pierce asked in shock that the Duchess knew of Hydra and that he was its leader,
"Director, you know who I am and what I can do reading the mind of a Muggle is child's play. However, I am very interested in why you have come all the way to England to speak with me."
While Haralda looked like she was interested in what the Secretary wanted to tell her, but inside she was laughing her ass off; it appears that Director Fury decided not to tell anyone except for Hill and Coulson that she was a Goddess of Death.
"Well, Your Grace, Hydra wishes to bring the world to order no more nations, no more flags, just one glorious nation under the Banner of Hydra, many of your fellow Magical's in MACUSA and the Ministries of Europe support us."
Leaning back into her chair, she summoned herself a cup of Tea, hiding her smirk as she saw the man slightly flinch; clearly, he had been told the story of what happened in the Great Hall all those years ago, but what he told her was interesting he had support within MACUSA and the European Ministries, but none of them told their Hydra masters of her Asgardian heritage? Now, this was very interesting; she knew MACUSA had some of their people within SHIELD. And Fury was aware of them; it was time to find out more information.
"Well, Mr Secretary, if what you say is true, why come to me? In fact, why come to me? It seems to me you have enough support in the Magical world already."
"That's just it, your Grace, despite it happening a long time ago and during a time of war, the Massacre of Hogwarts has seemed to cement your name in the minds of the Magical Population. They fear you would retaliate should they try anything that could be against your interests."
Now that was a fascinating bit of information. The pathetic fools supported a group that went against her Interests, and yet they were too terrified of her that they refused to move against her. Taking another sip from her cup, she thought about the magic users. Even though she was pretty much Queen of Magical Britain, she stayed out of the running of the country.
"You know, Mr Secretary, your right; despite everything that has happened, the world is still divided. I will aid Hydra in your quest but in order to gather the Magical's under your control completely, those that support you will need to hear it from me personally."
Alexander couldn't have been happier hearing her say that she was will to join Hydra. At last, with a magic user as powerful as the Duchess willingly supporting her, others like the Soldier would be obsolete…. well, not totally Obsolete, but that part about meeting the Hydra magic users was interesting; he needed more clarification on that.
He got it the Duchess wanted to gather all Hydra Magic users for a Grand Ball where she would announce her loyalty to Hydra, thus allowing all ops that were on hold that required the aid of the Wizards was needed.
"Take this Portkey Alexander, and it will activate at 9pm UK Time in 2 days and bring you to the Ballroom just as I begin my speech to the crowd with both of us there the Wizards and witches will accept it."
Smiling, the man took the Portkey, wishing her a good day and leaving a Hydra Necklace on her desk before leaving the office. Once the wards informed her he was outside of the manor, she leaned back and chuckled. "Did you get that, Director Fury?"
"I did, Haralda, very well done one the Magical's are no longer a problem I can begin my purging of Shield." With that, the phone hung up…." He is still a man of few words apparently, well let's find a nice dress for the Ball."
Also, at that time, letters had been dispatched from Raven croft and the Office of Alexander Pierce after he sent a text to dispatch a message to their Wizard allies to accept and attend the Ball to gain information or suggest Haralda support them.

2 days later
Everything was in positional the gathered members of the Magical World from all social and economic levels such as the Vice President of MACUSA and Nobles of the European Wizengamots to regular common Wizards and witches.
They were all wearing bracelets given to them at the entrance; it was the only requirement the Duchess had asked for, however many of them were worried why had the Duchess called for this grand Ball all of a sudden and why was it so urgent that they arrive.
The regular melody by the violins stopped as a man in the uniform of the Helheim Regiment took the stage; he looked just like a regular officer of the Duchesses Private Army; none of them noticed his green eyes filled with glee.
"Your excellencies, My Lords and ladies, directors of departments and fellow Wizards and witches. It is my honour to present her Grace, The Crown Princess of Helheim, Princess of Asgard, lady Governor of Magical Britain and Duchess of Inverness, Haralda Helasdottir." A green portal appeared before them on the stage, allowing the said Asgardian to appear Dressed in what many Witches believed to be the finest dress they had ever seen.
Unaware to them all except Haralda and her Guards, cameras were installed and showed a live feed to the Avengers Tower, formally the Stark tower where one Tony Stark sat shocked the Duchess of Inverness was the Asgardian Princess that had helped them in battle. but more importantly, had saved his life by removing the shards from near his heart.
How did the avengers get in on this? Simple here's a little flashback for you.
Flashback 1 hour before the Ball
Avengers Tower New York
The entire team, with the exclusion of Loki, were gathered on the couches as Director Fury along with Hill and Coulson, fresh back from England, stood before them.
"Alright, you lot here is the situation, hidden from our world is a society of witches and wizards that number around 50 million worldwide, one of their most famous members is the Duchess of Inverness, and before you ask Stark no, you cannot repeat anything you witness today with anyone otherwise the Magical government for America will erase your memories of the Magical world with the mundane government's full support."
Tony, who was about to argue, saw the glare from Pepper and remained quiet, much to the amusement of the other Avengers, even Fury though he would never admit that.
"Now the problem we face is Shield and many other governments have been infiltrated by Hydra."
"WHAT WE HAVE TO STOP THEM!" Steve yelled, his eyes burning with anger for the group he fought against during the war.
"Relax, Captain, that is why we are here, we know who the majority of the Hydra leadership are, but we cannot move against them while Hydra has a hold over the Magical Governments. That's why we asked the Duchess for her aid. She is greatly respected and feared across the world for her power and political strength; once the Hydra agents in the Magical world are dealt with, we can work on flushing Shield of its infestation."
"Director, forgive me, but How is the Duchess going to deal with potentially hundreds of Hydra Agents on her own? I know she is responsible for the Hogwarts Massacre, but she had an army backing her," Natasha asked, her voice showing the slightest bit of concern in her tone.
Fury didn't get a chance to ask as Thor chuckled, "she is not just any normal Witch Lady Widow. She is Also my Niece, the Crown Princess of Helheim."
FLASHBACK OVER
Now they all watched as the gathered witches and Wizards politely clapped for the Duchess for a few seconds before Haralda raised her hand, calling for silence.
"Welcome, my fellow witches and wizards, many of you hate me, many of you fear me, and I can understand why my true heritage is enough to make any mere Mortal worried. But you are not mere Mortals, are you? We have 2 things in common we all can wield Magic, and we both work for the same cause."
That caught their attention as they watched a larger amount of filled wine glasses appear before them on the stage before floating towards them. "This, my friends, is the finest wine from Asgard, and you dear to taste the drinks of the gods for soon you will be considered equal to them in every way."
Undoing a concealment charm, the necklace she was wearing changed to a very familiar emblem. Taking her own glass, she gestured for everyone else to take their own. "Before we drink, the banners need to be updated a bit don't, they."
With another wave of her hand, the Peverell banners on the Ballroom walls changed, becoming black banners with the red skull with tentacles, the banner of Hydra shocking everyone in the room.
Haralda smIled, lifting her glass to the air. "Today, the new Order begins, my friends, Hail Hydra!".
HAIL HYDRA!
HAIL HYDRA!
HAIL HYDRA!
The crowd then drank their wine. All of them gasped at the flavour; it was truly a drink of the Gods of Asgard, and now with the Duchess on their side, they would bring order; Hydra would rule all.
The coughing began slowly. Some noticed blood dripping from their noses, some of the older members of the crowd coughed so hard into their handkerchiefs that looking down they saw that they were now covered in blood, soon the whole crowd was falling to their knees many screaming or coughing as they choked on their own blood some reaching towards the Duchess for her to help them only to see she was now sitting on a Black Marble Throne her dress no replaced with her Asgardian Armoured Robes.
Her face had a small but evil smile as she drank a new-made cup of Tea a house-elf handed her as the Officer that had introduced her stood by her side saying nothing, "yes, it's amazing what one Drop of Basilisk Venom can do to your internal organs, so Hail Hydra my friends Hail Hydra straight to Helheim you Nazi Fucks." Haralda told them, her white eyes burning with anger and joy as the bracelet she had given them burned into their skin, marking their souls for Helheim.
It took just over two minutes, but it was all over the Ballroom was covered in blood and the bodies of the Hydra witches and wizards. "I must say well done, dear niece, that was most entertaining." The Officer told her, allowing his glamour to fall, revealing Loki.
"Indeed, Uncle, I have done my part it's up to you know Director on don't worry about Pierce that Portkey took him somewhere that suits him, I'll pick him up in a week or two and deliver him to you, but right now I have wands to collect and a hungry basilisk to feed these Hydra scum too."
Ripping off her hydra necklace, she burned the Hydra Banners before opening a portal to Hogwarts to get her Snake.
The Avengers and shield officers sat shocked except for Thor Fury and, shockingly, Steve, who couldn't bring himself to care too much despite his horror at how they were Killed. They were Hydra fools.
