AN: I don't appreciate flames if you don't like it don't read it. While some things early on may seem to be plot holes I have plans for them later on and it will make sense.
As always I own nothing all rights belong to JK Rowling and Marvel for there respective works.
The Asgardians were awed by the display of magic they had just witnessed. The Midgardian before them had commanded the very spirits of magic and used them to restore the Bifrost to what it once was. As Thor was lowering Harry to the ground, Odin walked over.
"Your power continues to me amaze me, Seidr. In a few day's time, I will need you in the throne room, but if you will excuse me, our allies have been without aid for too long; I must plan." Odin turned and called for his advisors to follow him as he walked towards the throne room.
Harry looked over at Thor who was still grinning from ear to ear. "Harry, you have truly amazed me once more with the level of your powers! I thought I had seen it all when you fought the Destroyer with me, but then you claim the Staff of Osiris and not only match me blow for blow in battle at full power, you then command forces that most could only dream of and repair the Bifrost." Thor paused, marveling at the newly repaired Bifrost. "It is because of you that Asgard will be able to once more protect our allies and strike fear into the hearts of our enemies."
Harry shook his head, "It was nothing… though I did expend quite a bit of magic and I think I need some sleep now." Without bothering to wait for a response, Harry turned and walked towards his room, pondering if it would be possible for him to sleep for the next year.
Harry stood his staff inside the door before collapsing on his bed. While he didn't quite sleep for a year, he did end up sleeping for the next three days, essentially dead to the world.
Waking up on the third day, Harry felt refreshed. Casting a Tempus Charm, he wasn't very surprised to see that three days had passed; the ritual had caused him to expend all of his magic. Harry went through some morning stretches and just as he was finishing, there was a knock at his door. Summoning the Staff, Harry waved it changing his clothing before answering the door. On the other side was one of the many servants. "Yes?"
"My Lord, Odin sent me. He wishes to remind you he requires your presence in the Throne Room at noon time today."
Harry nodded; his stomach growled. He hadn't eaten in three days. "let me eat and I will be there." The servant nodded before turning and walking away and he headed to the dining hall.
Finishing his breakfast, Harry checked the time and saw he had 15 minutes before Odin wanted him in the Throne room. Harry grabbed the staff and proceeded to the Throne room.
Harry arrived outside of the Throne room and was surprised to find the doors closed with a single guard posted outside. Harry walked up to the guard and stared at him for a moment, "the All-Father requested my presence."
The guard studied Harry for a moment before nodding, turning around, and knocking thrice upon the door before it opened revealing the full of Asgard assembled. At the front of the room was Odin seated upon his throne in full regalia. To the left and right of him were Thor and Freya both dressed in their full royal regalia as well. Odin waved a hand silencing the crowd, "Harrison James Potter, come forward." Harry walked forward. The assembled Asgardians began clapping and taking a knee at the raised dais, Harry looked up at the Asgardian Royals.
Odin studied Harry but for a moment before standing, bringing the crowd to complete silence. "Harrison 'Harry' James Potter, you have gone above and beyond in your service to Asgard," Odin paused turning to face his son Thor. "First you risked your life protecting my son Thor from the destroyer, then after he had returned to full power you aided him in stopping the Destroyer in turn protecting people of Midgard."
Turning back to the assembled crowd, Odin then gestured out towards the Bifrost, "then upon coming to Asgard where you discovered my wayward son attempting to destroy the Bifrost, you aided Thor in stopping him even though it meant you would be trapped here on Asgard for indeterminate amount of time."
Odin paused as he considered his next words, "your third act, however, is truly your greatest. After bonding with the Staff of the Egyptian God Osiris, you used its and your own powers to restore the Bifrost and with it our ability to come and go from Asgard; a feat that I and the others watching can tell was no easy task as you commanded the very forces of magic."
Odin turned and gestured to a woman from the crowd who was making her way forward. Harry turned his head to see her; she was blonde with lips painted a deep red, her outfit blue and white. Once she reached the dais, Odin continued, "it is for these acts that I, Odin All-Father, offer you this; first, I wish to name you an honorary member of the Asgardian Royal family with all rights that come with such a title."
Odin paused once more; the crowd anxious to hear what the second offer is. "My second offer is this…" gesturing once more to the blonde, she lifted the cover off the tray she was carrying to reveal a golden apple. "I am offering you one of the Idunn's Golden Apples. Eating one of these will give you youth, vigor, and virtual immortality at the same level as an Asgardian."
Harry was stunned, unsure what to say. He had just been offered not only the option to become a member of the royal family, but he was being offered near immortality. "If I may stand All-Father?" Receiving a nod of approval, Harry stood up facing Odin, "I am honored to accept your offers All-Father, however I do have one condition before I give full acceptance of all that you have offered me."
Odin seemed intrigued, "go on, Seidr Potter."
"I wish for your wife, the Lady Freya, to be my teacher on the subject of Asgardian magic. I wish to learn all that I can on your people abilities."
Odin laughed "While I cannot speak for my wife…" Odin trailed off and looked over at her, "but judging by the look on her face, I can only assume that she is very much looking forward to teaching you."
After the ceremony had ended, the assembled crowd had filtered out of the throne room, leaving just Harry, Thor, Odin, Freya, and the blonde woman with the Golden Apple. Odin signaled to the woman "Idunn, you may give Harry his apple now."
The blonde, Idunn, walked over to Harry with a seductive smile playing upon her ruby red lips. She held out the platter with the golden apple upon it. "Well Seidr, buckle up you are in for a wild ride." She laughed as Harry took the apple and took a bite from it.
As Harry swallowed the first bite of apple and went to take another he gasped, feeling the power running through him. He fell to one knee, his mouth opened in a silent scream as every part of his body was transformed to its level of peak of fitness. His magic seemed to pulse stronger with every burst coming from the apple. Unseen to Harry, the remaining apple that was in his hand turned into a bright golden light that was absorbed into his body, assisting in the transformation.
Finally, after what seemed like several hours to Harry, but what was only minutes, the magic subsided. Harry stood up and looked around. Everything was blurry. "Has anyone seen my glasses?" He asked while attempting to summon them to his hand.
Thor laughed. "They are upon your face, friend."
Harry reached up and touched his face feeling his glasses in place. Confused, he reached up, slowly removed them, and gasped because as he did so, the world in front of him had become crystal clear.
"I guess when you say peak physical condition, you weren't kidding. None of the magical means back in my dimension were ever able to correct my vision like that apple just did."
Looking around, Harry saw the Staff laying on the ground. Summoning it to his hand, he smiled. "My magic feels stronger as well," Harry turned around and took aim at the far wall.
He spun the staff around and fired off a blasting hex followed by a charm to repair. The blasting hex blew a hole in the wall larger than anything he had been able to manage before and was quickly repaired seconds after. It looked brand new.
"That is going to take some getting used to."
He turned around to see the barely restrained faces of laughter from the royal family.
Over the next week Harry split his time between getting used to his increased power levels and studying Asgardian magic from Freya. Luckily, he had a bit of a leg up having studied Norwegian magic back in his home dimension during his travels.
It was about a week into his training when they were interrupted by Thor who had come looking for his mother. "Mother I am going to be leaving, I have received father's blessing; I am going to Midgard to see Jane Foster once more."
Freya nodded a smirk playing upon her lips, "I was beginning to wonder if you would ever return to Midgard to see the Lady Foster; you must bring her here to Asgard, my son. I wish to meet her."
Thor nodded and turned to Harry, "Are you planning to remain here my friend?"
Harry nodded, "for now, at least. Your mother is teaching me much about magic that I never once before thought was possible. Give me a few more weeks and then I will return to Earth."
Thor nodded and left the room, heading towards the Bifrost to return to Midgard.
About a week later, Odin pulled him aside, "as you are now a member of the Royal Family of Asgard, you are entitled to Asgardian Armour. I have summoned the Royal Armour makers to take measurements."
Harry was stunned at the generosity being displayed by Odin, "why are you doing all this for me All-father?"
Odin laughed and gestured for Harry to walk with him. "You have more than earned the right to call me Odin by now Harry…" Odin paused becoming pensive. "Though I am not able to perceive the future as well as some of the psychics that exist, I am able to read the signs in front of me; there is war coming and you are going to be the tipping point that bends things in our favor." Odin paused once more considering his next words.
"I have no doubt that my both my sons will be involved in the coming conflict I am hoping you will be able to assist in keeping the two of them alive through it all. I am hoping to give you the edge needed to do so."
"The way things have been going lately, I have been thinking the same thing. Something is forcing events to go a certain way and from what I have heard and observed, Loki's latest behavior is very unorthodox… especially the drastic change in his attitude."
"Loki has always been the more reserved of my two sons. He is not one to act without first considering every possible outcome; for him to act this brashly and this out of turn is surprising. I was expecting somewhat of an outburst when his heritage became known to him but not to this extreme. Someone or something must be controlling him…" Odin paused, wondering if he would be able to trust Harry with the next part of his thoughts. "It was my hope that by removing his power, the compulsions placed upon him would be easier, however before my healers were able to subdue him, he escaped."
The conversation dwindled upon reaching the Royal Armour makers. They quickly pulled Harry into the room, excited to get to make new armour as they have not had any projects since Thor and Loki had finished growing.
Harry had completed his training under Freya, and had received his armour. Made of a sleek black and silver plating that was extremely light weight, it conformed to Harry's form. Harry had even been able to convince the Makers to incorporate the Bracers that Tony had made so that he would be able to retain the power of flight.
Keeping the armour stored in his pocket dimension, Harry was able to summon it to appear on him the same way that Thor was able to summon his armour by channeling his power through Mjolnir. Harry was able to modify the Staff a bit so that when he channeled his power through it, his armour would be pulled from his pocket dimension.
Finally, it was the evening before Harry was due to return to Earth. He had just returned to his room when he noticed something was wrong. Instead of his room being empty as it normally was, on his bed sat a woman with long flowing red hair. She wore a green dress and a belt that appeared to be made of stone. Summoning the Staff to his hand, his power pulsed causing his armour to appear on his body.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my room?"
The figure raised her hands to show she meant no harm.
"Peace wizard, I mean you no harm. I felt it was finally time we met; I have been observing you since your arrival in this dimension."
Harry didn't lower the Staff. "How about you tell me who you are and then I will decide if you mean no harm."
The woman laughed. "I am the source of all that is or will be; the embodiment of the Earth. I am the Primordial Goddess Gaea."
"Primordial Goddess, huh? What did I do to attract your attention?" Harry lowered the Staff a bit, but was still unsure on whether or not to trust her.
"Quite simply, Mr. Potter, you appeared out of nowhere. One second everything was the same and then the next you showed up and you had quite a bit of power behind you, and well, you frightened me."
Harry paused for a moment and laughed. "I frightened you? An all-powerful Primordial Goddess who is literally the embodiment of the freaking Earth?" At that point Harry lowered his Staff, willing his armour to return to the pocket dimension.
"Indeed, you do Mr. Potter. When you appeared as suddenly as you did out of nowhere in the middle of what is known to be Afghanistan, the first thing I detected about you was not your presence as it is with most humans. No, what I detected first from you was your power. You held power that rivaled some of the Elder Gods, the first of my children who spawned what became the Pantheons of Earth. I knew that if I did not act quickly, you could very well destroy the very planet that you stood upon. So, I bound your magic preventing you from accessing it until such a time as I could ensure you meant no harm to those who dwell upon the planet. It is for that reason you were unable to teleport, or apparate as you call it, out of the cave that you were trapped in."
Harry nodded. In the past, someone messing with his powers would have angered him. However, he would have taken the same steps Gaea had to neutralize any potential problem.
Gaea collected her thoughts and continued, "through my observations, I saw you help Stark build his suit to escape. So, I released a fraction of your power; just enough to help the pair of you get away. Over time, I released more and more of your power as you continually helped protect those with your power. I intended to meet with you before releasing my full hold on your power… but then you broke the hold."
Harry looked puzzled at that statement, "me? what did I do?" As far as Harry knew he hadn't done anything to break a block or hold on his powers.
"You claimed the weapon of a God. In doing so, you brought yourself as close as possible to becoming a God and if there is one thing I cannot do, it is interfere when it comes to another God." Seeing Harry about to interrupt, Gaea held up a hand. "Yes, I know you are not a God, but you bear the weapon of one and by doing so it prevents me from directly affecting you. We digress, however. I come to you with a request. You are due to return to Earth tomorrow. When you arrive I need you to find the Ancient One; inform her that I sent you and she will teach you the Mystical Arts above and beyond that which you currently know. There is a war coming, Mr. Potter and you are to be the tipping point on the cosmic scale."
"I don't know why it always come down to me, but I will ensure things go as they should."
The next morning, Harry got up and finished packing up his things. Heading towards the Bifrost, Harry saw Odin and Freya awaiting him next to Heimdall.
Odin outstretched his hand and took Harry's hand. "Thank you, Harry for all you have done and will do for my family. Never forget that as a member of the Royal Family, if you ever need assistance in any form, myself and the armies of Asgard will be at your call. Simply call for Heimdall and we will come."
Harry nodded before turning to Freya, "My student! Never have I met someone more dedicated to your craft than you. I thank you for giving me the books on your magic, with them maybe I will be able to bridge the gap between Asgardian and Midgardian magic." Pulling Harry into a hug, Freya smiled before releasing him.
Heimdall walked over to the raised dais in the bridge room. "Seidr, the Bifrost will bring you to site of your friend, Mr. Stark. Thank you for all you have done for Asgard and as Odin said should you ever need aid, all you must do is call."
Stepping from the bridge room, the Bifrost activated carrying Harry from Asgard.
