A/N: Uhm yea, it went on a bit too smoothly didn't it? The Winchesters running around somewhere and nothing happens…that can't be. See now what catastrophe followed them this time.

Chapter 15: Winchester Luck

True to their word they booked a room in the hotel however calling it a room would be distracting from what it really was, a house on a small island with palm trees and all. Upon Dean's shocked question about how that was possible the receptionist explained that every "room" they have is in reality a pocket dimension each with a different setting from old castles to even one simulating the moon. Hearing that Dean wanted to get that room but Harry couldn't be convinced and so he had to accept the beach house. On the other hand this wasn't that bad either because right at the moment he was lying on an air mattress sleeping and bobbing up and down in the waves. Sam and Harry were contently sitting under the palm trees reading books, Sam a book with useful spells and Harry a novel.

It had been five days now that they were at the Rabbit Hole and all three were quite content with how life was at the moment. The first day they didn't do much more than relaxing as well as the next day. After that they did some more shopping for mainly books. Harry also went to the fourth floor were they sold the plants where he found a very rare one for Neville and let it be delivered to him directly. Would he have to take care for it…let's just say it wouldn't have survived the first day.

Harry also started to teach Sam some magic however it was only some easy stuff like the levitation charm or minor hexes because he himself didn't know much more. That brought up a question from Sam.

"I wonder, this ball at the wand shop showed that you could also use mind magic" Sam still couldn't believe that he talked about magic without the need to kill some demon as it was normally the case. "Why didn't you get a focus for that to?"

"Because I rarely use it. Sure, I also train it so that I can use it in case of an emergency but despite that it is much to exhausting in my opinion. To use it you need an extreme amount of concentration and for the everyday use it is too much for my liking. I stay with hand magic" he shrugged.

They also made a tour to the basement of the Rabbit Hole to see what could be found there. The entire thing was like a giant adventure park with different zones for different activities. You could find there everything from a shooting ranch where Dean instantly went to in order to test their new weapons to a huge area for something akin to paint ball.

Though there you not only could use shooting weapons but also knives or wands. The entire equipment was enchanted that for example if you used a wand not the real spell you cast would be used but converted into a painting spell that indicated the severity of the spell. So in case you would use the killing curse for example not the real curse would leave the wand but a spell that would paint the target red if hit indicating that the other would be dead.

Despite that they also had things like broom racing which Harry instantly tried out. He only came out third but for his first try it was quite good.

The holidays couldn't have been any better though Harry quickly got to know why Loki always whined about the "Winchester luck" as he called it. There were only three days left and Loki didn't show up yet but Harry wasn't overly concerned about it. The pagan god would show up soon enough. Harry just was getting ready in his room in order to swim some when suddenly the door to his room opened and a blond woman entered.

"Oh, wrong room" she said and was just to leave the room when she became aware of who was the occupant of the room. In an instant she was across the room and pinning Harry to the wall a knife at his throat. "Harry Potter, I would never have dreamt to see you here in America. You know there are quite a few demons or others who would pay a nice price to get you in their hands" she said with a malicious grin. "First and foremost Lilith. You know she loves to possess children."

Loki just ported from America all the way back to Hogwarts and into the first year Gryffindor dorms. Walking over to the bed of that red-head he found the individual he was looking for sleeping at the end of the bed. Quickly placing a stunner on it he picked it up and ported over to the Ministry of Magic. There he went to the head of the DMLE after giving the receptionist in the entrance hall a near panic attack. Was it his fault that they assumed the wrong reason for him coming to them?

Now he was entering the office of Amelia Bones, head of the DMLE.

"Loki, what do you want here? If you're here to produce chaos I have to tell you that the Unspeakables always look for new…test subjects for their developments" she said without a greeting watching him carefully. However she was confused to why he was carrying a rat.

It seemed that she got warned by the reception. "As much as I would like to play with your Department of Mysteries I'm not here for that" with that he dropped the rat unceremoniously on the floor before snapping with his finger. In front of them the rat transformed back into a man. "I got to know that your predecessor imprisoned one of my followers without any proof not to mention a trial."

"Is that…" she looked at the man on the floor in disbelieve.

"Peter Pettigrew aka Wormtail, betrayer of the Potter family, murder of twelve non-magicals and unregistered animagus" he waved his hand towards said man to lift the stunner.

Pettigrew instantly started to look around confused but once he recognised his surrounding he paled drastically. "How? Why?" he stammered.

"Because you pissed off the wrong person, traitor" Loki growled.

Wormtail's head snapped towards Loki before he tried to transform back into a rat in order to get out of there. Loki on the other hand was completely unimpressed by that and snapped with his fingers. That let the animagus panic completely because he couldn't transform anymore.

"What did you do?" he squeaked.

"I blocked your magic. Wouldn't want you to escape" Loki snickered with a malicious glee in his eyes.

"W-who are you?" in panic he looked around trying to find another way out.

"Loki."

Pettigrew gulped visibly knowing that he was screwed. He knew very well about the pagan god since his "friends" were devoted followers of him. Bones watched this entire thing with much interest.

"I would never have thought that one day one of your kind would walk into my office like that and deliver me the proof to the innocence of an Azkaban prisoner" she chuckled. The Ministry was well aware that the pagan gods were real since they had to do with them from time to time. However lately confrontations between them became quite rare, at least in Europe.

"Would it have been any other deity or not concern one of my followers you would be right" Loki simply replied

"But why after all this time? I mean the whole thing happened over ten years ago" she inquired trying to get as many information about Loki's motives as possible.

Loki sighed. "I got to know about all this only recently and only out of sheer luck or believe me I would have shown up much earlier" hadn't he broken into heaven with Harry he perhaps never would have gotten to know about it.

"I'll get Sirius Black retrieved from Azkaban immediately and set up a trial. However the trial might take a few days since there are many things that have to be prepared for it" Bones explained.

"As long as you get him out of that hell hole as quickly as possible…" he knew very well what those soul sucking demons were capable of. It was laughable that the Brits thought they could control them but that wasn't his problem. He only cared about Black and that would be taken care of soon.

It was a few days later and the trial of Sirius Black just finished. Loki who followed the entire thing with interest to make sure that everything went as it should now leaned against the wall right next to the door to courtroom number ten where the trial took place. He waited for Black to finally come out. A few minutes later said man walked through the door.

"Thank Loki that I'm finally free" he sighed in relieve.

Loki chuckled. "You're right, you should thank me. I got you out after all."

Sirius spun on the spot so quickly that he got dizzy and had to take a few seconds to see clearly again before eying the man in front of him critically. "Loki?" he questioned carefully.

"In flesh and blood" Sirius eyes widened comically upon that and he looked like a fish out of water with how he opened and closed his mouth. "Though I have to apologize to you."

"Why? What for?" Sirius was baffled. Why would have the deity to apologize to him?

"I should have known…should have checked you're alright" he shook his head.

"How could you have known? I mean even you can't know everything" his confusion only grew.

"True, however I claim to care for my followers and then I don't even check on you after what happened. No what happened to you is at least partly my fault" Loki sighed. "But that is the past and I assume that you very much would like to catch up with the present. What do you think about a good meal while we talk?"

"I could kill for a good meal" Sirius moaned.

Just at that moment Bones left the courtroom. "Ah Loki, good that I caught you before you left. I wanted to ask you whether you would stay longer in Britain or not" she enquired.

"At the moment I'm staying at Hogwarts though this shan't be of your concern and if you worry about the children I think that Professor McGonagall can confirm you that I behave myself…mostly" he replied with a snicker. "As I already told her I'm not a monster and I would never hurt children."

"Should I get to hear anything happening at Hogwarts…as I mentioned a few days ago the Unspeakables always look for new test subjects" bones gave him a stern glare.

Loki laughed before taking Sirius' hand and teleporting them to a restaurant he knew served good meals.

"Where are we?" Sirius asked confused looking around.

"France, Côte d'Azur do be precisely. They have this little restaurant here…you'll love it" with that Loki set into motion and walked over to a small house that had tables outside at one he sat down with a nice view over the bay the village was located at. Since it was a nice and relative warm day it was possible to sit outside. "So ask your questions."

"Where is Harry? Is he okay?" Sirius blurted out the first of the thousand questions he had in mind.

"Don't worry he is in good hands. At the moment he is on a holiday in America and staying with two friends of mine. If you want we can visit them tomorrow" Loki replied.

"Why tomorrow and not today?" right now Sirius looked a bit like a beaten puppy.

"Sirius, you need a good night of sleep as well as a few new clothes first not to mention a proper bath or do you want to scare of your godson?" Loki snickered. It wasn't that Sirius was dirty anymore or looked like wearing rags but he also was far from looking like a normal person. Only Loki's illusions kept the peasants from giving him a wide berth.

Sirius blushed upon that lowering his head knowing perfectly well that Loki was right. He was release from prison only a few hours ago after all.

"So you accompany my godson?" he inquired.

"Yes, I attend school together with him all the while giving the teachers some headache."

After that he told Sirius all about what happened the last month, what they did and who they pranked. Sirius found it hilarious how they pranked the little blond ponce Malfoy but on the other hand was quite worried how a full grown mountain troll could get into the school. Therefore he was glad that Loki took it upon himself to teach Harry how to defend himself in case something like that happened again. All the while they enjoyed the marvellous meal the waiter served some time ago. Loki was quite content answering every question Sirius had not knowing that quite soon the infamous Winchester Luck would strike again.

A/N: Yes, I'm very naughty letting the entire thing hang where I did. I can only hope that none of you likes Ruby but…well…you'll have to see *evil grin*. 'til next chapter!
