Time passed and a few days ago, the world felt as if something important disappeared. It was special for even Loki could feel it. He did not know why but he was saddened by this loss, the last time he has this sensation was when he lost his sons and Sigyn to the manipulation of his father, it broke his heart.
The only hint he found was something he heard when he felt this loss: "excelsior". This word travelled the wind and most of the heroes heard it. Peter was the most affected by this, he could not explain why but it was as bad as when he lost his uncle.
Strange retired a few days after the event to meditate, he was not feeling at his best and guessed it was linked to the situation. Stark went on a drinking rampage to feel better, only to be stopped by his fiancé and retire himself in his home.
Bruce banner was surprised to feel the sorrow of his counterpart. He always thought the hulk could only feel hate but he proved him wrong. His two companion were unsure on how to react, Bella simply hugged banner while tom put a hand on his shoulder.
It lasted for a week, even the realm of Äsgard mourned for the mysterious being that made them feel so lost without him. Thor made a small shrine with the word he heard wrote on a stone imbued with magic.
They all hoped for this being to find a better place on his next great adventure.
XoX Loki PoV XoX
Harold was celebrating his eleventh birthday when an owl appeared near his home. The bird seemed annoyed by the wards and made it known by hooting as hard as it could. It amused Loki and it took an hour before he felt bored and went to see what the bird wanted. On its leg, a letter was attached.
The piece of magic he could feel from it was safe and he marveled at the way it worked. Supposedly, his ward should have blocked any tracking or locating magic. Magical beast such as this owl would be unaffected as long as their intent were nice. Still, on the letter, he could read his address and the name of his son.
He casted a few detecting charm on it and he could feel the same energy as the Lovegood had. Unsure, he opened it and read it. Apparently, his son was invited to a school of magic. He was even more surprised when a few students approached him with similar letters but different schools name.
He knew these communities were hidden, he found them while travelling around Midgard. They were not as impressive as they could but there way to approach magik was imaginative. It made him smile to know his old student was the founder of one of those communities. Fate has been kind to let him meet his student's student. Their first meeting has been strange but the dinners and visit they did helped them understand each other. She was so much like him it was scary.
He still remembered when one of Hogwarts teacher came to meet him and his family to explain them about this school. He sent them a notice to tell them when he would come. Loki, using the magik mark on the letter allowed him to pass unharmed. His reaction to Loki in his complete garb was perfect. The woman, Minerva, first stilled and then fell on her knee and started speaking in Scottish. Thank the all-speak for existing, he managed to understand her. After letting het calm down, she finally explained everything and when she saw Harold, she fainted.
When she woke up, she started calling him harry and swore his full name was harry James potter. Harold knew he was adopted, he parents told him when he was nine. He wanted to know more of his original family, why they had abandoned him. She told him everything and Loki could feel the weight on his son shoulder being lifted. After making sure his son was right with all the revelations, he went back to the school discussion.
It took a few hours but he managed to convince her to allow Wanda to go with his son, even thought she was invited to Salem. She did not agree at first but when he told her it was both or none, she relented and accepted. Sylvi then took his place and began to speak with the stern woman. The two got along well and he choose to leave them to their discussion.
Outside of his home, he stared at the stars. He could feel a force coming this way and he knew whom it was. He hopped he would have more time but fate did not her his plea. Humanity, Yggdrasil was not ready to face this threat. The mad titan was on a warpath and he feared the result of this war.
At his peak, his father could have fought and won against him but even thought he was immortal, his body was now old. The titan already has the mind gem, giving him more power and he somehow managed to harness it.
He did not know most of the realms were preparing themselves and hoped they did for it would be a dreadful conflict. He despised the gems. They should not exist and he knew there was no way to hide them from the titan. He has time and means to found them.
He stopped his musing when his wife and guest came out. The old looking woman was smiling gently and left after making sure Harold was fine.
Wanda reaction to the news has been nice, she was smiling like a loon and telling to everyone how she would study to be like her father. The other kids accepted their invitation to the different school and were delighted to be given this opportunity. As most of them were orphan, Loki was considered their de facto magical parent and met all the representative that came to explain the situation to the children.
Apparently, his name was still respected on Midgard. It pleased him.
XoX Albus PoV XoX
The change he made in the English magical community were monstrous. He managed to bring equality using old laws giving him more power. The dark families tried to repel them but the bill kept them from succeeding. Malfoy was as pale as humanly possible when he passed a law allowing the goblins to audit the transaction and bring to the Wizengamot attention any gold movement they saw as illegal.
The "bloods law" were abolished and Magical creature were given the same right as any wizard. The "Dark creature" could be seen walking the street along the common wizard and relation with them were never better.
It took time and a lot of work but their world was now more open. Working with the non-magical also proved to be a good idea. While they could not use magik, they developed new technologies that gave them a lot of advantage. Albus used his position at the ICW to promote working with them. The MACUSA backed him up explaining how magical user were already known by the non-magical.
He was pleased by his work but his greatest achievement was when he finally has news of Harry. The book of name found him but to his surprise, his name was changed. He tried to apparate near the address but strong wards blocked him. He decided to send Minerva without telling her whom she would meet.
When she came back, she told him everything and he was more than pleased by what he heard. Harry was adopted by the patron of magik, merlin's teacher. Fate were kind after all, no one could protect him better than him.
He just had to wait for September 1st, he would finally see young harry again.
