A/N: Sorry not much pranking in it but something that needed to be done. Have fun!

Chapter 12: Best Christmas ever?!

The three sat at the Gryffindor table having breakfast. Harry and Loki were chatting excitedly but Neville looked somewhat unhappy. Not that he didn't like or enjoy Christmas…it simply bothered him something. Harry was just about to ask him what the matter was when suddenly McGonagall came rushing through the hall entrance door and walked up to them with a determined pace.

"Mr. Longbottom would you please follow me?" she said before looking at Loki with an amused glint in her eyes.

Neville looked at the others in confusion but stood up never the less and followed their head of the house.

"Merry Christmas" Loki shouted after them when they were half way back to the door.

Neville turned around and smiled at them but it didn't seem to reach his eyes before leaving the hall.

"Something's wrong with Neville. I don't know but something seems to bother him" Harry mused.

"Believe me his mood will lighten up when he gets his present" Loki replied cheerfully which earned him a confused look.

Neville followed McGonagall into her office where the woman grabbed a piece of cloth from her desk holding it out to Neville.

"This is a port-key please take a hold."

He looked at it confused and cautious. It wasn't that he thought that the Professor would harm him in any way but he also didn't fancy to get lost somewhere. In the end he decided that his trust in McGonagall was bigger than his caution and he grabbed it. McGonagall activated it and they both were ported away.

When they landed Neville was first a bit dizzy from the getting sucked through a tube feeling that came with portkeys. After recovering he took a look around and found himself in a corridor of…St. Mungo's? Now he was utterly confused. Was something wrong with his parents? Panic started to rise within him while he followed his teacher to the place he knew his parents laid.

They both rounded a room divider and Neville stopped dead in his track. He took a double look and even tried pinching himself thinking this was a dream.

In the beds sat both of his parents awake and fully well.

It took him two minutes to recover. He whispered a `thank you Loki´ which let McGonagall who heard it snicker. But he didn't take notice of it because he started to cry while running over to his parents and hugging them.

This was definitely the best Christmas he ever had.

At Hogwarts Loki explained to Harry what he did.

"Though I have to admit that timing the entire thing was a bitch and a half. I contacted several seer to get it right…though what confuses and startles me is what every single one of them told me to" he mused.

"Why? What's wrong?" Harry never saw Loki this tense before.

"One thing they all said was the same: The seals are going to break…no one can stop it. What wonders me though is why they all sounded happy about it…as it was something good…" Loki went through his hair with his hand.

"The seals are breaking? What does that mean? What seals?" Harry was confused.

"What do you know about Lucifer?"

Harry rose an eyebrow. "Not much to be honest. Only that he is a fallen angel and that he created the demons" the first he knew through religion lessons at primary school the later thanks to Loki.

"Sure that is true but there is more to it. This entire thing happened a very long time ago when humanity just started. Michael and Lucifer got into a quarrel about the humans because god told them to love you more than him. I don't know who of those two started the fight but I think it was Michael because Lucifer started to discuss this order with their father.

You have to know that Michael was always the good little son who followed every given order to the letter while Lucifer questioned things. The only thing I know is that at some point Michael banished Lucifer from heaven and locked him up in a dimension next to purgatory because Lucifer wanted to destroy humanity.

The cage Lucifer is locked up in is locked with 666 seals. 66 of them have to be broken for him to come free, some of them in a special order while others are completely optional. Though the first and the last to fall are fixed. For the first a righteous man has to go to hell and spill blood and the last seal is killing the first demon Lilith."

Harry looked at him shocked. "But how can that be something good?"

"To be honest…I have no freaking idea. But there is no point in musing about it now and I think there was a vacation waiting for you" he returned to his normal jovially self. "Have you already packed your bag and with you?"

He was first a bit confused over the sudden change of topic but finally he nodded. "Yes while I got changed." The only thing he had added was the laptop he got from Loki since everything else he might need was already in there.

"Good then let's go. McGonagall already knows that we are not in the castle until school starts again" he told her about it after the discussion about the History problem and also asked her to get Neville to St. Mungo's without telling him what was going on.

So both stood up and went to the doors when they met the twins halfway.

"Hey you two" Loki piped. "Harry and I will be out for a few days so don't do anything I wouldn't do."

"Which isn't much" they answered with a Cheshire grin. "Have fun with whatever you're going to do."

Loki led Harry to an empty and unused classroom before turning around to him.

"Don't worry I'm only going to age myself a bit. While it doesn't matter where I'll bring you first it'll definitely look suspicious for two children to wander around alone later" Harry nodded in understanding.

A few seconds later Loki didn't look like eleven anymore but somewhere around thirty.

"Good that's that. Now I'd like to ask you to put your arms around my neck and close your eyes. Whatever happens don't open your eyes until I say so okay?"

Harry did as he was asked and since he didn't know why he should close his eyes he even burrowed his head in Loki's shoulder so that he was entirely safe.

"Perfect" with that Loki took off.

It took a few seconds in which Harry could feel wind rushing by but he didn't dare to open his eyes. As quickly as it started it was over and Loki put him down again.

"Okay you can open your eyes again."

Harry slowly opened them before looking around. They stood on a small footpath that lead to a small but nice house which stood in a clearing of a forest.

"Where are we?" Harry was curious and confused.

"I thought that you might also want to be with your family on Christmas" he smiled.

Harry Just wanted to turn around and tell him that his aunt and uncle wouldn't want to see him when two persons came out of the house. One was a woman with long red hair and emerald green eyes and the other a man that looked much like he himself only with brown eyes and much older. Harry's mouth fell open and he stared at them wide eyed.

"You didn't…" his voice a mere whisper.

"What? Know where the backdoor to heaven is and sneak us in so that you can meet your parents?" Loki said with a smile.

Harry stumbled forwards before breaking into a full run and tackling his parents with a hug, tears running down his face.

"Mum…dad…"

Loki watched the scene while leaning against a tree. He just wanted to turn around and leave to give them some time alone when James walked up to him and draped an arm around his shoulder.

"You didn't think we would let you leave so easily?"

"I just wanted to give you some time with your son alone…"

"Ah rubbish. You treated our son far better than anyone else before so as far as I'm concerned you are family."

Loki threw the man a strange look. "What do you mean by that?"

"I fear that it isn't upon me to answer you that" James sighed.

They together entered the house and followed the voices of the others into the kitchen.

"James, Loki, sit down you're in the way and James don't you dare touching anything" Lily shooed them to a round table in the corner where they sat down.

Loki shot James a questioning look upon which he snickered.

"The only place in the kitchen I'm allowed at is the table since a small incident shortly after we died where I tried to cook some."

"You would even manage to burn water in an attempt to make coffee" Lily glared at him before turning back.

"Says the woman who can't even do the laundry right" he retorted when a towel flew straight at his head but he caught it before it could reach its target. "Throwing things at a seeker…since when has that worked?"

What he didn't see was that wrapped in the towel was a bird spider that now slowly crawled out. When he saw that thing he threw the towel away from him while screaming. Like a girl. Harry who watched the entire thing while peeling apples cracked up. Who might have thought that his father feared spiders or could scream like a girl as it is. Even Loki grinned.

"So you were seeker to?" Harry asked after calming down again.

"I was the best. Haven't you seen my badge in the trophy room at Hogwarts?" Harry shook his head. "What have you been doing that you missed this?" James said mock hurt.

"It's true I have been a bit busy. Transforming Malfoy into a Barbie girl and letting him dance, saving Neville from a rampaging broom and getting on the Quidditch team myself, finding and playing with a Cerberus, a tap-dancing troll, getting hexed into Slytherin colours for snatching candy from Loki…oh and snatching the Snitch right from under the nose of the other seeker in my first official match."

"Didn't you happen to mean sleeping most of the match on your broom until you got woken up rudely and then flying a crazy kamikaze stunt during which you caught the snitch?" Loki piped in.

"How often have I to tell you…I wasn't sleeping…I just enjoyed the match. No one ever said I couldn't do this…" Harry growled while fidgeting with his hands.

Loki's hair suddenly were striped in pink and a bilious green. James snorted.

Loki looked questioning at him when he realized the change. "Oh…ha, ha, very funny" he quickly changed his hair back. He should really pay more attention to what Harry is doing with his hands.

"What are you two doing anyway?" he asked Lily and Harry.

"Baking, what else?" piped Harry.

Loki grunted in amusement. "I bring you to heaven so that you finally can meet you parents and you start baking. Why am I not the slightest little bit surprised?"

"Because you know me far too well" Harry laughed.

They talked further while Harry and his mother backed a cake for all of them. Harry told them what he was doing in school, how the teachers were (Loki was obviously with a huge lead the favourite teacher) and about pranks he pulled. His parents already knew what he was doing because they could observe him from heaven but they didn't tell him.

After that his parents told him more about their own time at school and James gave him a good few ideas of pranks.

They spent a few days in heaven. Well heavenly days actually since time went faster there much like in hell but not to such an extent. While the time-speed difference between earth and hell was somewhere between 1:50 up to way over 1:100 depending on the area you're in it is only about 1:10 in heaven.

So it was a few days since they arrived that James cornered Loki.

"Do you know what happened to Sirius?"

Loki looked at him questioningly. "Huh? He stopped praying after your death. I thought he simply lost faith. Why do you ask?"

"I thought as much…he didn't lose faith" James took a step back away from Loki which earned him a curious look. "They threw him into Azkaban."

It was a good thing that he was a step away from Loki because said pagan went from jovially to outright enrage within a split-second.

"They WHAT?" he shouted and James didn't doubt that it was audible even three heavens over.

Harry who was outside with his mother knew that someone managed to royally piss off Loki but he didn't pity the person who managed to get on the bad side of the god. It was like with Quirrell, whoever incurred Loki's wrath upon himself deserved it at some point and from the shout Loki just gave said person did some monumental mistake, that he was sure of.

"Yes they framed what Peter did upon him…" James sighed.

"Where is that traitor?" Loki growled.

"Not as far as you might think. He is a rat animagus that misses a toe."

Loki thought that through when realization hit him and a smile crept on his face that creeped the hell out of James. "Oh that bastard but I know just the right punishment that would kill two birds with one stone."

"Lo are you planning on world domination or why are you cackling like mad?" Harry who came in to look what was going on asked.

"Pah, who needs world domination when one can dish out cold revenge?"

"Just tell me when to duck so that I can avoid being hit by the blast" Harry retorted when suddenly outside appeared a man with dark hair and dopey eyes. He looked a bit like a lost puppy.

It seemed that Loki's outbreak drew in some unwanted attention. Loki flinched.

"Damned. I'm sorry Harry but we have to leave" Loki said while snapping with his fingers putting the angel outside into a time-distortion field. "We have perhaps five minutes."

Harry made a face but he knew that it would be bad getting caught and he didn't want to find out what might happen then.

Lily took a look outside. "Oh this is Castiel. He comes by from time to time. Nice guy but a bit dense from time to time."

"Never the less running into him opens a ton of questions I don't want to deal with" Loki stated.

"Harry, I would like to ask a favour from you if that's ok" James asked upon which Harry nodded. He walked over to the mantelpiece and picked up to envelopes. "Would you please give those to Snape? They are from me and your mum. I know I wasn't the nicest person to him but it would mean a lot for me."

"Sure" he put the two letters into the pouch he got from Loki.

After that he said goodbye to his parents and hugged them for a last time. He hold onto Loki like when they got there.

"Take good care of our son" Lily said while wishing Loki a farewell.

Loki nodded and with that he took Harry back to earth and straight to America. Just in time because Castiel came out of his stasis.

"So you think he will find out about my sister?" Lily asked.

"That's only a matter of time but it's her own fault for what is to come" Lily nodded before turning around to greet their guest.

A/N: Yes next chapter Harry will meet the Winchesters for the first time. Will they survive the cumulative powers of Harry and Loki? Or will they shoot them? Wait and see. 'til next chapter (Which might take a bit longer since I need to watch some of the Supernatural episodes again to get things right)!
