A/N: So here we are, chapter eight. I know not much happening despite a bit of fun and background story but I promise next chapter will be better (Halloween ahead). So have fun!

Chapter 8: Teachers going nuts

The next few weeks flew by quite unspectacularly. Harry had his first Quidditch lessons in which he nearly gave Wood several heart attacks with the stunts he flew. That only proved that he was a natural born flyer and everyone was eager to see him in the first official match.

The friends also met several times with Hagrid, during ones they learned that someone broke into Gringotts.

"Who is so stupid to break into a goblin bank? Even I wouldn't be so stupid to anger the goblin nation, not after what happened to Thor" Loki rambled shaking his head.

Everyone looked at him curiously and so he explained that several centuries ago that hammer happy moron called Thor waltzed into a goblin village because they refused to forge a weapon for him and started a huge fight with them. It took three decades before he was even remotely able to leave bed again, not to mention that this incident put a huge dent into his overblown ego. Loki just found it hilarious that the mighty warrior, who always boasted himself with stories how he defeated entire armies singlehandedly, had been defeated by two dozen goblins and it gave him a healthy respect towards them. To thank them for this amusement he even helped the goblins from time to time.

After that they all fell in some kind of routine. A few minor pranks, some courtesy to the twins some to Loki but mostly harmless things like gender switch or colour potions in the food or some minor hexes like the babbling curse towards the teachers. That was funny because no one of the student thought about ending the curse and ending it without chanting the counter curse correctly is kind of hard to achieve, so unfortunately the lessons had to be cancelled until the curse wore off naturally, which took its time since it was Loki who casted it.

The most surprising prank was when Neville got Loki to eat a laced, with what later turned out to be a root he learned of in one of the many Herbology books he read, chocolate which coloured his skin bright red. After that Loki double checked any chocolate the boys gave him.

Another thing was that Ron one night, Loki had been out for some time to check what his favourite targets the Winchesters were doing, was snoring once more…loud. When Loki was back again he looked into the eyes of glad Gryffindor boys because they knew they soon would be able to sleep again. This time Ron got a one way ticket straight into the bed of Albus Dumbledore right next to the man. Loki then conjured up a mirror through which they observed what would happen. Curious though was that both didn't wake up from it but both started to cuddle with each other snoring like there was no tomorrow. The next day Ron ran around with a bright red head while Dumbledore was seen grinning and whistling. No one of the Gryff's dared to ask what happened after they went back to bed, honestly they didn't even want to think about it.

Lessons on the other hand went on as always. Potions was a nightmare, Transfiguration somewhat hard if you hadn't Loki as help, Charms was mostly taking notes, DADA pure torture thanks to a stuttering Quirrell, Astronomy kind of useless since nobody knew what that was for, Herbology somehow quite interesting and Loki continued teaching History, but that brought up a whole new problem. It was two weeks before Halloween and Loki was about two thirds through the History stuff he had to teach for this year.

Up to now nearly everyone in the school heard what went on in the first years Gryffindor/Ravenclaw class and they all wanted similar lessons. Loki's only comment about it was that they should talk to McGonagall and they did.

Poor woman didn't know what was coming when suddenly every single prefect from every house except Slytherin, because they would never ask such a thing as being taught by a Gryffindor firsty…pride is a bitch, and the head boy and girl stood in front of her and asked (read: demanded) whether the other History classes could also be taught by Loki. She had hoped that letting Laufeyson teach would change Dumbledores mind about Binns but that she would never have dreamt of. Unfortunately she had to disappoint them because not only was Laufeyson on probation for now concerning teaching he also was first and foremost a student himself and therefore had to attend his own classes.

It was two days after that and Loki was bored, not only Loki but Harry and Neville too. Sundays were the most boring days after all especially when you had nothing more to do and every homework finished. So the three decided to explore the school some further. They now roamed it for about one and a half hour when they suddenly found themselves in the forbidden corridor on the third floor.

"I wonder what painful death is awaiting us behind that door" Loki mused remembering the words Dumbledore had used at their first day.

"Are you nuts? Dumbledore especially warned everyone about that corridor" Neville was slightly panicking the famous Gryffindor bravery nowhere seen.

"Possibly" he replied with a big grin on his face while walking up to the door.

"C'mon Neville, what could possibly happen? We have Loki with us" Harry also was curious what all this fuss was about.

"Fine if you want to get killed…without me!" Neville retorted before turning around and walking away.

"Coward…"

"Well it's his decision and we'll see him later in the common room anyway, so now want to have a look?" Loki had an expecting look on his face.

"Sure."

Loki opened the door and they both went in only to face a huge three headed dog. It took a few seconds before the dog completely woke up and instantly started to growl and snap at them. Harry jumped back in shock while Loki on the other hand was quite unimpressed and quickly stared the dog into submission. He clearly had met more dangerous things than that…cough, Winchester brothers, cough. Not that they were overly dangerous themselves, but they had that unnatural talent to turn any situation infinitely worse in the shortest amount of time.

"What the hell is a hellhound of the Cerberus breed doing in a school full of children?" Harry asked after the first shock wore off. He remembered what it was from one of the many lessons Loki held.

"Don't know…but one thing's for sure…he is only a pup, they are normally the size of a small house and he seems to be a guard dog for something" he pointed at the trapdoor beneath the Cerberus.

"Huh, would like to know for what but not now. Can I pat him?" Harry was an avid dog lover, despite being chased several times by the one of his aunt Marge, the bigger the better.

"Sure, I made certain he won't attack us again."

Harry went over to the dog and started to scratch the left and the middle head and the two heads sounded like a purring cat while the third one grew envious and glared at him until Loki went to it and started to scratch it too.

"Once you get over the shock and him to not see you as an enemy he is quite cuddly" Harry laughed when suddenly the dog licked him from bottom to top before rolling on his back in order to get his belly rubbed. They complied and rubbed it what let the dogs left rear leg go nuts.

The two stayed a bit longer and played with the dog until it was time for lunch. On the way out Loki conjured up three dinosaur sized bones, for each head one, and they promised to come back soon what commented the dog by barking loudly. Then they walked down to the great hall.

There at the Gryffindor table was waiting an obviously worried Neville.

"Thank Merlin you're alright. I was so worried when you didn't come back after an hour. What was now that ominous deadly threat?"

"Oh, only a Cerberus pup. Quite adorable once you get on its good side. You should really come with us the next time" Harry explained while piling food on his plate.

"You're crazy…both of you…"

"Maybe" was all that Loki answered with a big grin that promised nothing good.

"Lo you're creeping me out. Why do you grin like mad?"

"No idea, perhaps because of that?" the friends only heard the snapping of his fingers when suddenly every single piece of food in the entire hall jumped up and started to dance.

It was a complete mess when the mashed tomatoes tried themselves in a tango with the steaks while the roasted potatoes and the chicken wings danced a slow waltz and all of them left behind a trail of sauce all over the tables.

Quite a few of the student yelped when their food started to move but soon everyone stared at Loki. Harry, Neville and the twins couldn't help it but started to laugh, especially when two carrots tried a pirouette in front of them, slipped on some sauce the steak had left earlier and tumbled over the table dousing everyone in range with several different substances.

McGonagall who didn't even look the slightest bit amused walked over to them.

"Mr. Laufeyson would you mind to explain what all that mess is about?"

Loki leaned back to look at her.

"I don't know but it's fun and why do you assume it was me?" he said with an innocent smile that fooled no one.

"Because first everyone looked at YOU though I don't know why and second your face is telling me everything I need to know. Detention and you'll clean up the entire mess."

"Aw but I'm completely innocent Professor" now he tried the puppy dog eyes since his smile hadn't helped. The friends even laughed harder.

"Stop that nonsense at once or I swear you I'll give you detention until hell freezes over and now start cleaning up the mess."

Loki secretly snapped with his fingers again. "Which mess?"

The great hall looked like nothing has happened, the food lying neatly in the bowls and on the plates and not a single stain of sauce was out of place. McGonagall looked around before she pinched the bridge of her nose, a headache starting to rise while muttering something about not being paid enough for this.

"The detention stands, this evening with Mr. Filch and don't you dare being late" she said with a stern glare, turned around and went back to the staff table.

"You my friend-"

"-are absolute the best."

"And I think when you go on like that McGonagall will retire before Christmas and Snape gets a coronary" added Harry with an amused glint in his eyes.

If looks could kill Loki would be long dead with how Snape looked at him, it was pure hatred. So it was no wonder that said professor suddenly sported clashing pink and green hair when Loki saw that. Snape didn't even register the change. Unfortunately the next lesson was double Potions.

In the potions lesson they had to brew the Forgetfulness Potion and adding to his luck Malfoy tried to sabotage Loki and Harry's Potion. But Loki was quick enough to catch the ingredient Malfoy wanted to throw into their cauldron and smuggled it into the blonde's one without him noticing. A few seconds later and Malfoys cauldron was a bubbling mess on the floor much to Harry's and Neville's amusement which gave Snape a hand full of extra work. To Snape's annoyance the Potion they both brewed were the best in the class and so he couldn't do anything despite wanting to.

Later at evening Loki then had detention with Filch. To say he drove him up the wall was a huge understatement. The second Filch assigned him a floor to clean, with mop and water of course, he snapped his finger and said floor was cleaner than ever before. In the end they had walked through half the castle before Filch finally gave up and let him go. When McGonagall heard about that she emptied an entire bottle of scotch, thank Merlin for hangover remedy potions.

The next morning everyone was astonished how clean the castle suddenly was and the elves whined because they had less work to do.

A/N: So that was that. As said next chapter will be Halloween and I don't think you could ever imagine what I did with it *putting on an angelic smile*but perhaps you want to have a guess?! 'til next chapter!
