AN: Thank you for your follows, favourites and reviews on the first chapter of the story!

Harry isn't Thor in this; Thor will be appearing in this chapter and we'll see him and Harry interacting a lot more in the next chapter if I stick to plan XD

First Dinner

Harry dragged himself up and out of his bed. A meek looking servant had let himself into his room and had relayed a message that dinner was ready. He was expected to join.

He was sorely tempted to go downstairs in his bedraggled state but restrained himself. Do not be petty, Harry. He repeated the thought over and over again in his head as he trudged over to his wardrobe. Would there be any clothes that fit him?

Opening the doors, he wasn't surprised to find that there was. Of course Odin wouldn't allow his child to turn up to dinner in a state! He pulled out an outfit on a hanger and dressed as quickly as he could. He wanted to get to dinner and leave as early as possible—he couldn't imagine holding a conversation with his father for longer than was necessary after what he had done.

Memories? Of all things his father had decided to take away his emotions from the past as a punishment. He must have known that his son would have been elated at the prospect of returning home…

Who else would be at the dinner? His fellow conspirators, his brothers… How would they act after so much time apart?

The more he dwelled on things like this, the more he realised that his father had been unfair in banishing him to earth. He had separated his son from his family and friends and then on his return home he had taken away his past emotions.

He hadn't hesitated to show his followers how ruthless he could be… his own son.

Harry shook his head; now was not the time.

Giving his hair a quick comb through with his fingers, Harry left the bedroom and went downstairs to face everyone from his past life.

"He's here!" exclaimed Heimdall, with a grin.

Harry smiled back. "Indeed I am." He pushed down the feeling of anger that came at the sight of the gatekeeper. He had asked for access to Jotunheim and for his movements to be kept secret… instead the fool had told his father.

"It's good to see you," said a voice that made Harry jump. Thor. He turned around to see his brother; he looked just as he always had. With a wink, the blond took his seat at the table. The two of them had conspired together yet he had been the only one to be banished.

Perhaps his father hadn't known… What would happen if he told him?

That was just bitterness talking; he wouldn't wish what had happened to him upon anyone, let alone his own brother.

Somebody cleared their throat as Harry was about to take his seat. "I would like to welcome Harry back home. We've all missed you!" Harry grinned at Volstagg's small speech.

"I'm glad to see you all, healthy and well," he replied.

A chorus of hearty cheers went up at that and for the first time since he had returned, he felt like he was home.

Perhaps things would get better…
