AN: It will be the last chapter after this one! I hope you enjoyed reading the story :)

Father II

Two days had passed since Harry had returned home to Asgard after his banishment. Loki and Thor had visited him every day, taking him to visit friends and his old favourite places. He had enjoyed their company and the feelings of anger he had aimed towards them had quickly dissipated. They had not made the decision to tear him away from Asgard nor had they continued to punish him after his return home. That was his father.

In those days he had been home, his father had not made the effort to come and see him in private. Not once.

And that was why it was such a surprise when he came back from his day out with his brothers and a message was waiting for him on his bed.

Harry,

I would like to have a talk with you when you return home from your outing with Thor and Loki. You will find me in my chambers.

Your father.

His initial feeling of shock was quickly replaced by one of suspicion, and then of curiosity. He was going to see his father, he wanted to hear what he had to say, but he knew that there was every possibility that he wasn't going to hear what he wanted to hear.

It was better that he spoke to him now rather than later.

Harry took a deep breath outside his father's bedroom door. Then he knocked.

It was opened almost instantly by Odin and he was ushered in. "Take a seat, son," he said.

Harry obeyed and sat down on one of the plush chairs. He didn't speak; Odin had called the meeting so he could begin it.

"I suppose you are wondering why I called to have this meeting with you?" asked Odin.

Harry nodded slowly, wondering how long it was going to take to get to the point.

Odin smiled; it looked forced. "You're probably wondering why it took me so long to have this chat with you as well."

"It's not really much of a chat," said Harry. He couldn't help himself.

Odin let out a large booming laugh, and Harry could hear the relief that he had finally cooperated within it. "That was an accurate observation. Since you were honest with me I will be honest with you." Harry had the feeling that his father was planning on doing that anyway but kept his mouth closed this time. "I was still angry with you when you returned home. I was exercising a… petty kind of personal retribution as some would call it."

Harry frowned. "Who called it that?"

"Oh, it's just a phrase I have heard being used before," said Odin.

Liar, he thought but he stopped himself from voicing the thought and allowed his father to continue.

Odin continued. "Your brothers came to see me on the day of your return and told me you had voiced some concern over something you had noticed upon your return to Asgard."

Loki and Thor had been to see Odin on his behalf?

"You will find that what you told them will no longer be a problem," said his father.

"Do you know who caused it?" asked Harry.

Odin stopped and looked at him for a long moment; he sat down and sighed. "I think you and me both know who did it," he answered.

Harry nodded; he was glad that his father hadn't lied to him. "Is that all, Father?"

"It is. I hope to see you more often than I have in these past couple of days," said Odin as they walked to the bedroom door.

"As do I," replied Harry with a genuine smile.
