Chapter 38 "Leave it to The Family"
"How's our little hero Lokes?" Tony asked as fixed them both drinks. After the debriefing Harry and the other Avengers flew back to New York to rest and unwind.
"He's asleep it has been a long day for him and three days by Midgard time. He used a lot of magic traveling the Yggdrasil." Loki sighed taking the offered drink.
"Yes he did Baby Brother, but that is only because he unaccustomed to his new powers granted him by the Norns." Hela said appearing on the barstool next to the couple, making Tony jump.
"Will you stop doing that! I have a heart condition, you know." The genius glared as he grabbed his arc reactor as if he was afraid it would stop working being near the goddess of death.
"Never Tin Man, you need to be kept on you toes. How else will I discover if you are keeping my Dear Baby Brother happy?"
"Hela, Please, I am tired from today's travel and battle as well. Now will you explain about these new powers Haraldr was gifted?" Loki sighed handing a glass of wine to the moody goddess.
"Very well Little Loki, I will concede my victory for now." Hela smiled ignoring Tony's rolling eyes. "I took Haraldr to meet the Norns. Over a Millennia ago I was pulled into the Yggdrasil by the Great Norns to curb my anger. They showed me that my path would not just lead to the destruction of Asgard in Ragnarok but worlds around us as well. They told me that a soul was to come that would save not only Asgard but the future of the Universe. They said it would heal my heart completely. When the time was right I should bring the soul back to the Yggdrasil for them to see. At first I thought that they were talking about Loki but he was too stubborn to bring the worlds together. I think that might have been my fault as I taught you to fight those who tried to oppose you. Anyways, I waited and waited but there was no sign of the soul. I worked diligently to make sure the soul did not parish and ended up in Niffleheim. Still no such soul crossed over, that I almost had given up hope. That is until Mother came to my realm to tell me that your son had been found. I found myself seeking out the soul of James Potter to confirm it was your child and using him to seek out the soul of Haraldr. When I found Haraldr's soul I felt the spark that had been laid within you Loki. You had passed it on to him and he was the one I had been waiting for."
"What happened on the Yggdrasil?" Loki asked in awe of his sister's tale.
"The Norns have crowned him Prince of the Yggdrasil. They gave him the gift of Foresight and he can travel the branches of Yggdrasil without fear of falling. It was the Norns who told him that he was needed on Midgard and he left without hesitation."
"Well of course being a Prince of the realms he has to fly head first into danger." Tony muttered gulping down his Scotch. "So what's the plan now?"
"Haraldr still has three days left of his break Time in the Yggdrasil ate up a lot of his time so I will have to work with him during the summer of controlling his powers. So he can spend the rest of his free time with you both. I will return to Mother and the Oxnard tomorrow and inform them of the Norns decisions." Hela stood up and hugged her baby brother. "Until then sleep well Little Loki. I'm going down to Thor's floor to discuss his over use of lightning on the enemy. Night Tim Man."
"It's Iron Man." Tony corrected to the last wisps of green smoke.
"Ignore her, my love; she does it just to rile you up." Loki pulled his husband into his arms for some much needed cuddles. "Let us seek our bed as well. We have only a short time with our son before he returns to that place. I wish to take him to the park and enjoy the peace we have earned."
"Fine, but I want us to take a bath with one of those magic bath bombs. I got a few bruises in the battle today." Tony muttered soaking up the love of his mate.
"I think that sounds like an excellent idea, Anthony. Maybe after we can have a little grown up time with the new blueberry scented oils I made." Loki's eye sparkled with delight as his lover's eyes smoldered with unbridled lust.
"I have the best hubby ever!" The genius grinned pulling the god to their bedroom with haste.

"Hey Harry, you look relaxed." Neville greeted as he saw the Ravenclaw appear on the platform through an open portal. "No horse today?"
"Not you too." Harry signed his cheeks a bit red. "Who told you Malfoy or Daphne?"
"The Twins they saw you galloping away from the school at the start of Spring Break. Anyways I started that Asgardian Green house I was telling you about. I spent all break planting the seeds you gave me, it was wonderful."
"I'm glad Neville. I finished my Dad's suit and my Father's armor. I left it at the Manor for My dad's birthday at the end of May since I'm not going to be there with school and everything." The two boys were the only ones of MAGIC to leave for Spring Break. The Dark Magic around Malfoy Manor had been in creasing of late to where Malfoy's Mother high tailed out of there and went to stay with relatives in France. Malfoy was best off staying with his godfather in the castle. Daphne's parents were still sailing the world leaving her behind to look after her younger sister.
"HARRY!" a voice shouted out from the crowd. Both the boy cringed at the sound. There was no escape the Train had not arrived yet to take them to school. "Where were you? I searched and searched for you."
"You are mad! Get off of me!" Harry pushed the clingy red head away and began signing to Neville.
"Ms. Weasley Haraldr says to leave his person alone and I agree with him. It is very rude for a pureblood to act so undignified." Neville said using his best Malfoy impression.
"I'd watch you tone Longbottom." Ginny glared. "Your title is just that a title. You have no prestige; you are more squib than wizard."
"Back off Weasley I will not tolerating anyone talk down to my friends." Harry typed out on Friday.
"You don't need him Harry; I can help you find the right friends." The Gryffindor pleaded batting her eyes at him. "Friends that can help you to fame and glory."
"I don't need Fame or glory. I have found the right kind of friends, Weasley and you are not it." Harry had put himself between the two Gryffindors. They all heard the train coming and the red head decided to back down. "Stay away from us we don't want you bothering us on the trip back to school."
"Fine be that way but I am telling you now, you will come to me begging for me to marry you." Ginny stomped away and on to the train her bag swinging as she turned hitting Harry's hand.
Harry turned to Neville and before he could say 'Good riddance,' he was assaulted with images of the Twins holding a book, a large chamber, Malfoy in an office, Lockhart in magical cuffs and his Uncle Thor and Aunt Hela standing at his side all of them in armor.
"Harry, are you okay?"
"No, I'm not. Let's get on the train I will tell you when we are secure." Harry signed to the Gryffindor. He was very disturbed by what his foresight had shown him but it gave him clues on how to deal with the artifact that was controlling the basilisk.
XxXxXxXxXx
"Hermione, Susan!" Neville cried out running over to the two girls seated in the lounge.
"Welcome back Neville, good to see you Harry." Hermione smiled. It was the first Saturday since returning from Spring Break and all were gathered together. The teachers had been piling on the work to get ready for end of the year exams. They missed training this week due to the workload and even quidditch had been postponed.
Once everyone was sealed in their Headquarters Harry opened the mind stone. He transfigured his crown back into a locket for practical purposes. He was glad to see his MAGIC sisters up and on the mend but they had urgent things to discuss.
"Glad to see you both out of the Hospital wing." Harry said sitting is his customary chair and it didn't take Jor long to slither up the chair wrapping himself around the young Jotun.
"We're not exactly cleared to be up but as long as we return to the Hospital wing after Lunch we'll be fine." Susan said sheepishly.
"Very well then shall we being?"
"Yes Prince Firsty."
"Ginny was ranting when she came back from Break." The twins said from the left of Harry.
"I had a run in with your sister. She did not like it when I told her to stop calling Neville a squib and to leave. On another note her bag brushed against my hand and I was over come with images of the future. I was gifted the power for foresight but it is not as reliable as a seers vision. So we still have to put in work to figure out what they mean and how to stop the Basilisks."
"Where did you get a new power?" Malfoy asked in disbelief.
"I can not tell you that Malfoy it is beyond the scope of this realm. Anyways I have been writing notes on the vague images I saw and made copies for all." Harry waved his wand and the copies went out to the group.
"Vague indeed." Daphne hummed looking over the extensive notes. The Raven couldn't help but list all possible interpretations.
"Dear Big Brother you must relax." Luna sighed as she could see how stiff he sat and his aura was glowing a dark blue.
"Sorry just a lot on my mind. Where are we at with the fraud case against Lockhart?"
"Actually, Neo and Morpheus return yesterday with responses to our inquiries." Hermione smirked. "We were correct in our assumptions. These Stories were all about different witches and wizards that fought these dark creatures."
"Yes and strong Memory charms were performed on them so he could steal their glory." Susan added.
"It proves what a joke the man truly is. Good work Granger, Bones." Malfoy praised.
"Susie do you think your aunt can file charges against Lockhart?" asked Fred.
"I'm sure if we send her all our evidence she can open a case but it will take awhile before an actual arrest can be made."
"Brilliant I'll send Morpheus out tomorrow." George grinned.
"Then maybe that will satisfy the vision of Lockhart in cuffs." Neville smile to the right of Susan.
"Well Lokison, while you were off getting new powers us mere mortals were hard at work with making more potion patches. Also we have been shadowed by the Headmaster as of late." Draco commented as he added his own notes to the vision paper.
"Are you serious? That Old Man doesn't give up. Was anything compromised?"
"The training room was almost exposed." Fred confessed.
"But Butterfingers came flying in and scared off the old man by making sparks come out of his arms." George explained.
"Tazzers, again? Who the hell keeps putting Tazzers on my AI?" Harry got up and went over to the robot that was on stand by. Malfoy rolled his eyes as the Raven shut down the robot and began to dissemble the sparky bit of the arm.
"Well tazzers aside, I believe lunch is almost ready. I had Butterfingers pick up Thai food, your favorite Harry." Hermione smiled as Fred lifted her up from her seat.
"George put me down I can walk." Susan protested.
"Sorry Susie, but until you either get clearance to be up and about or Neville grows some more muscles I am your humble servant." The twin chuckled as the two second years in question blushed.
"You too, Big Brother." Luna said gently pulling Harry from Butterfingers. "You need to eat more because when you get busy you forget."
"Alright Little Sister, Thai food sounds great." The older Ravenclaw smile but he looked tired. He had a lot on his plate and he was still adjusting to his new powers. Hopefully he could figure out these visions and end this current Madness.

"Hello Harry." Harry looked up to see Ginny standing over him. He had been feeling stifled in the castle and was in the court yard studying in the fresh air. He forgot to make sure that he wasn't followed. Now he had to deal with his red headed stalker.
"What do you want Weasley?" He typed out on Friday.
"Look Harry, I wanted to say I'm sorry for come on a little strong, but have to understand my side of things."
"Your side, of what?"
"The Light needs a strong symbol in these dark times. You-Know-Who is mounting an army and they are going to kill us all if you don't fight against him. You need a strong girlfriend by your side to support you. I can be that support you need. I am from a light Pureblood Family and no one would dare stand against us."
"Weasley I have no need of a girlfriend. I am quite happy being single. Voldemort is dead and there is no army coming for me. These rumors are just that 'Rumors'. Now if you excuse me I am to meet Neville and the twins in the green houses." Harry stood up from the stone table and was about to walk away when Ginny grabbed his hand and he was once again assaulted by images flashing through his brain. He barely had the strength to break the physical connection.
"Harry, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, just a little dizzy. I got to go Weasley please leave me alone. I don't want your attentions and I never will." Harry then turned and ran texting everyone to meet in ten minutes.
Butterfingers was waiting at the main doors of the castle in hover board mode. It took but a second to hop on without a missing a step before he was flying down the hallway to their headquarters. He used his private entrance and slumped into his chair shaking. Butterfingers changed shape and was moving around brewing some fresh tea to soothe his organic brother.
"Harry, what happened?"
"Are you okay?" Fred and George asked as they portal in carrying Hermione and Susan. The Gryffindors set the recovering girls in their seats and then went to their adopted little brother. They had never seen the Jotun so pale.
"Fred, wait until everyone is here that way he doesn't have to repeat himself." Hermione said gently. It wasn't long before others either entered the room by the door or portals.
"What happened? It wasn't easy to escape Professor Snape's mandatory house meeting?" Malfoy complained as he took his seat across from Harry.
"Shut up Draco just look at Harry; he's in shock." Daphne snapped. "Fred, George, seal the room. Luna stand back, his is leaking power. It is too strong and can harm you if you get to close."
"Yes Ma'am!" the twins jumped to attention as the others settled and waited for the Ravenclaw to come back to the waking world.
Harry took slow deep breaths and focused on clearing his mind. The visions unsettled him and his magic became overwhelming. He took the tea cup Butterfingers offered with a trembling hand and drank deep. After a good ten minutes he opened the Mind stone and turned to MAGIC assembled.
"Ginny has a soul artifact. You Humans would call it a Horcrux. It is incredibly dark magic and it is controlling the Basilisk."
"That's bad." Neville whispered shaking.
"No Shit Longbottom, That kind of dark magic was supposed to be lost in the dark ages." Malfoy snapped.
"Calm down Malfoy. Harry what can we do?" Hermione asked turning to the Ravenclaw.
"We need to get it away from Ginny. As long as she has it, it will leech off her soul and magic. Once we get it the only way to break the connection is to destroy artifact but that runs the risk destroying Ginny soul along with it. I need my Aunt's help with separating the two."
"We'll need away to contain it so it can not latch on to the rest of us." Susan suggested.
"Ginny is our sister,"
"We should be the ones to get it." Fred and George said determinedly.
"Be careful the artifact has great influence over her. I believe it is the same book I saw Lord Malfoy slip into her cauldron at the bookshop. At first I thought I was seeing things and that he was just finding a way to pick a fight. If it did have a second meaning than he would have hid the Horcrux among her books."
"I knew it was strange that my Father wanted to come with me to get my supplies." Draco groaned as he rubbed his temples to stave off an on coming headache.
"Won't she think it strange that it goes missing shortly after your encounter?" asked Daphne.
"Daphne is right Big brother. Time is our Ally not our Enemy in this situation. I have had words with Myrtle and she says she often see Ginny hiding in her bathroom talking to herself." Luna added.
"Who's Myrtle?" Harry asked a bit confused.
"Luna is talking about Moaning Myrtle, she is the ghost of a student, who died years ago. She haunts the girl's bathroom on the Second floor. No one uses that bathroom because she gets upset real easily and will flood the room in an instant." Hermione rolled her eyes. She had been flooded out of that bathroom and was not amused.
"How long ago did she die?" Harry was now very interested in the student ghost.
"I am not sure but her uniform is not old as in the founders' day but not as new as our uniform. What are you thinking Harry?" Daphne answered flipping her golden curls over her shoulder.
"One of the visions I had was a girl in a school uniform facing me and then she dropped to the floor. I though it was someone faint but what if she was killed by the person who set the basilisk free? What if I saw the past? No one has died since the chamber was open this time around and Malfoy said only one Muggleborn died the last time it was opened."
"That was fifty years ago Lokison. Are you sure?"
"It is the only thing that makes sense. Luna, talk with Myrtle and ask if she remembers anything about her death. It could give us a lead on who opened the Chamber."
"Of course Big Brother, but it's almost dinner time. The Headmaster has been watching us close as of late. He will notice if we do not show for the evening meal." The young Ravenclaw rose from her chair and too Harry's hand in hers now that his magic was once again calm.
"Lovegood is right; the crazy old man has been relentless in stirring up the house rivalries lately." Malfoy grouched.
"Then we better head back up stairs. Fred and George better get Hermione and Susan back to the Hospital wing before Madame Pomfrey raises the alarm."
"On it Boss."
"Whose Table is it tonight?"
"Slytherin Tonight. Crab and Goyle don't hog the food as much when you two sit with us." Daphne smiled as she and Draco took down the seals.
"Glad to know our products were successfully tested." George Smirked.
"Well have to try some our new stuff on them soon brother." Fred grinned.
"As long as it's not those puking pasties again. My robes reeked for two weeks after Goyle threw up on me." Draco bemoaned.
"No Worries Blondie we got something extra special for them." The twins chorused taking the open portal to the hospital wing. This was very unnerving to the Slytherin making his question if it might be worth it to skip dinner.
XxXxXxXxXx
"You both are an embarrassment to me and our Family!" Ginny ranted as she, Fred, George and Ron were all serving detention with Professor McGonagall.
"Oh Ginny, it was a harmless prank." Fred defended
"Yeah no one would have gotten hurt if Ronnikins didn't freak out and tried to stomp on Crabbe." George explained.
"You turned him into a huge spider what was I suppose to do?" Ron yelled.
"Quiet all of you. This is detention and I want this room spotless. You are all lucky that I didn't write your mother. Seriously starting a Muggle brawl in the middle of the Great Hall, what were thinking? You all know better." McGonagall chastised.
"Sorry Professor." The Weasley four chimed as they continued to sweep, mop and dust without magic.
It took three hours to clean the classroom. The Twins wondered if it had ever been clean within the last century it was filthy. They finished faster than their siblings using a bit of sorcery to speed up their movements. This gave them the perfect opportunity to get the dark artifact away from Ginny's bag. Over the past week they had been watching their baby sister cling to her school bag. She never went anywhere without it. The Horcrux had to be in her school bag. Harry taught them a weight spell designed to mimic the weigh of an object in a sack once the object was removed. Harry said it was a spell his father created to steal stuff from his uncle. This was the perfect time to put it to good use. It would take a few hours before Ginny would know that the book was gone.
"I am impressed Fred and George. If only your Homework was as neat and clean as this floor." The Scottish witch inspected their work before dismissing the two.
"That's not fair they cheated?! They had to have used magic there is no way they got done faster than us." Ron yelled.
"Oh and how did they do that Mr. Weasley? I have had their wands since they entered the room for detention. Now if I were you I would worry less about your brothers and more on your chore." McGonagall glared after returning Fred and George's wands.
Once the Professor and their siblings were suitably distracted the twins set to work stealing the Horcrux from Ginny's bag. The speed spell was still active so their movements were undetected. They placed the book in a steal box that Draco and Daphne engraved protection runes on. This would keep the dark magic contained. It was close to curfew so they would have to give it to Harry during their Saturday Lunch. They were about to leave when Ron blocked their path.
"You two are up to something. You have been hanging out with that traitor Potter and I'm going to tell Mum."
"Oh Ronnikins always so Naïve."
"Lokison is his name and he's our friend."
"You can whine to Mum all you want but Dad knows and approves."
"So get back to work or we'll tell Mum how naughty you are being." The twins countered and walked passed their fuming brother.
They were about ten feet away when a voice called out to them. "You boys should be kinder to your brother. He is only trying to do right by way of the light."
"Headmaster, it's a surprise to see you." Fred nodded.
"You haven't been to this side of the castle in a while." George smiled hiding his nerves.
"Well I have been busy with the school board and such. Things seemed to have calm down as of late and the students that were petrified are recovering. I thought I would check on their well fair." Dumbledore's words sent chills down their spines.
"I'm sure they we glad for the concern Headmaster."
"It's almost curfew and we need to get going."
"Of course boys, pleasant dreams." The old man smile and continues on his way. Once the twins were at the stairs they ran all the way to the hospital wing.
They burst through the doors startling Hermione in her late night reading. Susan and the others in the hospital wing slept on. Fred was relieved to see that the younger Gryffindor was safe and fell to his knees at her side.
"Fred what's the matter?"
"Thank Merlin you are alright."
"Yes, why wouldn't I be?" Hermione looked to George for answers as Fred was wrapped around her in a tight hug.
"We just ran into the Headmaster he said he had been up here to check on the students that had been petrified. He was very ominous with his tone and how he looked off into the distance as if he was trying to remember something."
"Yes, he was here but nothing happened. If he was going to do something he would have tried if we were all asleep. I don't sleep well in the hospital wing so I am often up late reading. I had a short conversation with him and then he left once again. So you see I'm fine and Susan too."
"Neville will be happy to hear that." Fred said finally releasing Hermione.
"I'm sure he will. He visits Susan everyday and often stays to have lunch with her." Hermione whispered so the Hufflepuff would not wake to hear their gossip.
"Any bet on when he'll ask her out? I'm thinking maybe middle of your seventh year." George smirked.
"Susie is patient but not that patient. I think Four year on the train home." Fred put in his two cents.
"I think next year will be their year. Now both of you shove off curfew is in five minutes and if you loose us house points then I'll make you sorry!"
"As you wish My Lady." Fred bowed. George snickered at his brother's theatrics before he dodged the punch to his arm. He wonder when his brother would pop the question to the little book worm. Oh well until then he was going to tease the shit out of him.
XxXxXxXxXx
"I don't like this Lokison."
"Malfoy you don't like any thing I do why should this be any different?" Harry said as he set runes to the floor of Slytherin's Private study. They Study opened to MAGIC when the twins brought the Dark Artifact to Headquarters.
"It's different because we are standing alone in a founder's office at midnight about to open a Dark Artifact that could potentially kill us." The blond ranted sporting Muggle wear his godfather got him for the practical use of potion ingredient hunting. Draco developed a fondness for Muggle clothes as Jeans and pressed shirts allowed for freer movement.
"You don't have to be here. In fact I specifically told everyone that it was too dangerous for Mortals to handle."
"Well you can't do it by yourself! If you get killed everyone will say it's my fault for not keeping a better eye on the crazy Ravenclaw!"
"Odin help me. What did I do to be curse with this Slytherin's presence?" Harry asked the heavens above trying to tune out the loud blond.
"Quit ignoring me Lokison!"
"Please shut up Malfoy I'm going to open the book now." Harry stood back from the circle of runes and Draco dove behind the smaller boy. Taking a deep breath the Demi-God wave a hand on the book opened. At first nothing happen and then pages began to flutter on its own.
The pages stopped at the middle and ink began to pour out and onto the floor reforming and taking shape. The two Second years were standing in front of a former Hogwarts student. They both had their wands ready should this thing attack.
"So we meet at last Harry Potter." It spoke.
"My Name is Lokison actually and you must be Tom Riddle or should I call you Voldemort." Harry glared.
"You speak yet your mouth does not move. How interesting. The girl told me of your flaw that you use muggle things to talk with, but you are not using it now are you. I can feel the power come off you in waves centered at your chest. I wish I had been placed in your care instead of that girl's. She is strong but you are more powerful. I could have taken it and made it my own giving me a stronger body."
"Tome Riddle you were the Orphan that had been sorted into Slytherin the same year as my Grandfather. He said you sought out the Dark Arts more than any Pureblood in our house you put fear into the whole house." Draco said looking up into the crazed form of his grandfather's former housemate.
"Ah, Baby Malfoy. Is Abraxas the whiner still alive? He would scare so easily when I would hold him over the lake. Always afraid the Giant squid would get him and the mermaids would naw at his bones."
"Riddle what do you want?" Harry interrupted before Malfoy tried to defend his family honor.
"What I want is your magic and your soul to revive what was taken from me!" the Horcrux ranted. "I was a powerful Wizard! I was going to rule the world and show everyone that I was better then all of wizard kind and put those filthy Muggles in their place bowing at my feet. I was going to be great but I was stopped by a babe in arms. My soul shattered and scattered to the far winds. I had no choice but take what was given me. That girl is going to die and I will be reborn to start again."
"What do you mean Weasley is going to die?" Malfoy asked trying to see if the thing was lying.
"Since the beginning of the school year I have been pulling her essence and reforming myself. It was a little at a time at frist but as I got stronger I have been drawing more on her soul and magic. But I can feel it is harder to pull on her magic I guess I have you to thank for that. You separated me from the girl but no matter as we are still connected. It will just take a little longer to absorb her soul and life force but I have waited this long I can wait another week."
"Not if we destroy the book!" Malfoy shouted and Harry had to hold the blond back. Tom Riddle hit a nerve making fun of Malfoy's grandfather.
"You do that and the Basilisk will run wild and I still win."
"That's what you think. This ends tonight Riddle." Harry vanished the roof of study exposing them all the sight of Asgard. Harry's muggle clothes shifted to his Asgardian Armor and his locket transformed into a crown once again with the Mind Stone shining brightly in the center. "I, Prince Haraldr of Asgard and Crown Prince of the Yggdrasil call to the Gate Keeper Heimdall. Please Send Prince Thor God of Thunder Protector of all realms and Princess Hela Goddess of Death and ruler of Niffleheim to My Side!"
Clouds gathered and thunder began to clash. Suddenly the room was blinded by a Rainbow light and when the light was gone there stood Thor battle ready and Mjolnir in hand with Hela standing tall as her death cape flowed around her. Being the goddess of death her sight locked on to the Horcrux before her and she was not happy at all.
"Haraldr, you have call and we have come; what do you need of us?" Thor asked not taking his eyes off the dark being before them.
"Uncle Thor we have to kill a basilisk before it kills any of the mortals in this school. Aunt Hela you have to separate this thing from the Mortal Girl that he is leeching off of. I believe this is a fragment of the soul of Tome Riddle that we took off of my professor last year." Harry said as he summoned his sword from the pocket dimension.
"Yes I can see that dear nephew. That old man has created a mess with dibbling in these dark arts. Go you and your uncle can take care of the beast. You Mortal child go find the girl who has been host this parasite and bring her here. I need the body if I am to reunite the two." Hela order and began her own preparations for battling a stubborn soul.
"Yes Madame." Malfoy bowed and ran out the door.
"Come on Uncle Thor I think I know where the Chamber is. When the connection to the book is broke the Basilisk will go mad and kill everyone in its path." Harry called running out the door and to the left.
"Then lead on Haraldr. I am honored to fight by your side." The blond god smiled following the young god down the halls.
"Now Mortal, I can see you are strong to defeat a small child. Let's see how you do against the Goddess of Death." Hela Smirked at the trembling soul before her.
XxXxXxXxXx
"So this chamber is a relieving room?" Thor asked as they entered the girl's bathroom.
"No I think it is the entrance but I am not sure how to get in."
"That's because you aren't hissing." A voice said startling the gods.
"You must be Myrtle. Luna has spoken of you."
"And you are Haraldr God of Souls or such. She says you are a good person but I don't trust boys." The ghost floated in a circle around the two.
"Why is that Myrtle?"
"They are rude and mean to me. Just like that boy who came here hissing. I tried to tell him to go away but then nothing. I woke up a ghost and I have been here ever since." Myrtle turned her back on Harry.
"I'm sorry that happened. He released the Basilisk on you that's why you can't remember your death. Myrtle the whole castle is in danger and we need your help."
"You need my help? But I'm dead there is nothing I can do." The ghost turned back looking confused.
"We don't know where the entrance to the chamber is but I think you do. If you can remember where the boy was standing when he was hissing I think that where he let the Snake loose."
"Well I was over here hiding because my roommate was being mean to me again when I heard him came in." Myrtle floated toward the stall she had hidden in. "Then I stepped out and turned then nothing."
"You turned left facing the sink." Harry smiled as he watched Myrtle. She may not remember but subconsciously she did. "Thank you Myrtle."
"Haraldr there is something strange about this one; the water does not run." Thor said trying to turn the faucet on.
"That has to be it. I bet Slytherin guarded the chamber with the language of snakes. Hiss, Hisss." (Open for me) Suddenly the sink move down and now there was nothing but a dark hole. "Uh that looks really far down."
"Fear not Nephew, Mjolnir will guide us down." Thor smiled pulling the boy close. The magic Hammer took flight and flew them into the darkness.
Once they landed Harry lit up the torches with his Lumos Maxims Spell. It was a long tunnel and the magic with in the walls was as old as the school herself. He could feel Hogwarts crying as the darkness was trying to take root within her.
"Haraldr look at this." Thor called drawing attention the large snake skin. "The beast must be very old to get to this size. I don't think Jörmungandr is this big when he's at full size."
"I haven't seen him at full size yet I try to keep him small and hidden from the rest of the school." Harry shrugged as they walked deeper into the chamber.
"He is a grand sight. Your father would often race him in his snake form across the sea to see who was faster. Speaking of your father why did you not call for him? I am sure he would have loved to battle at your side."
"Father, would have been too distracted with my safety, plus the visions I have been getting only show you and Aunt Hela at my side. I believe that I will fight by my father's side when I am needed most. Until then I will follow the Norns guidance." Harry said hesitantly.
"Perhaps you are right; he is still very protective of you. Do you feel that?"
"Yes Uncle. The connection is being broken and the madness is taking over."
"Ready your Sword Haraldr, the beast is coming." Thor gripped Mjolnir tighter as the entered the main Chamber. This had to have been Slytherin's personal sanctum. Off to the side was a library and one of those old fashion desks that held private writings. There was a couch and fireplace. On the other side was a pool of water probably how the Basilisk got out of the chamber to wonder. In the middle of the center wall was the face of Slytherin carve into the rock. There was a sudden rumbling and the ground shook. Harry hoped that the castle could withstand a shock to its foundations.
"It is here. We must take out the eyes if there is any hope of victory."
"Well then it's a good time to test my daggers Father gave me for Christmas." Harry sheathed his sword and summoned his daggers. The two warriors stood at the ready as the Giant Snake burst through the mouth of Slytherin screeching loud and hissing spraying its venom everywhere. Thor dove to the right and Harry dodge to the left throwing his dagger as hard as he could into the monster's left eye. It reared its head and attack Thor because he was the only one he could see. "Don't let it Bite you! Venom is Deadly!"
"Then let's see how it takes Mjolnir's bite." Thor jumped high and came down on the beast's head letting Mjolnir's lightning cover the snake. It screamed and thrashed but it was not done fighting. The Basilisk then set its limited sight on Harry who ran up the wall and push off stabbing his other dagger into its remaining eye. Then Thor swung his hammer at the head again but the Snake was strong. "It is a mighty beast Haraldr; are you well?"
"Just got whipped by the end of its tail. We need to somehow attack it from the inside out. Its skin is too thick for our attacks to works." Harry panted trying to deflect the tail with his sword.
"You're right but how? There is nothing but stone all around us and your father will kill me if I let it eat you."
"Yeah, not a fan of being eaten." Harry froze the tail sealing it in the pool making it immobile. Seeing the snake like stuck like that made him think of one of the castle's moving stair cases. "Uncle Thor I've got an idea!"
"Great Nephew I'd love to hear it as this beast wants to kill me right now." Thor dodged another of the Snake's attempt to bite him.
"Okay but have to promise not to tell father." Harry ran up the back of the Basilisk after icing his shoes to have spikes. It wouldn't do to fall off because of no traction. Then doing Thor size jump in the air he thrust his sword straight down through the Snakes thick skull and into its jaw. "Now!"
"Right!" Thor stuck the sword with Mjolnir with all the Lightning he could conjure and fried the brain of the beast killing it for good.
"Thank Odin it's over." Harry collapsed on the ground.
"Speaking of Fathers, where is your father's Snake?"
"Told him to patrol the outside of the castle, just in case the basilisk escaped us." Harry panted he was feeling really drained. First he used a lot of magic containing The Horcrux and then using a lot of strength fighting a really old basilisk. His body felt like he could sleep for a week.
"You did well my adorable Nephew." Hela appeared at his side pulling him close. "I have the shard of the soul contained with the other piece of soul. The girl is alive and sleep with no memory of the Horcrux."
"Thank you Aunt Hela. I knew I couldn't do it without someone getting hurt."
"Wait a century or two and then you'll at least be able to contain souls without draining your magic. Thor get his sword and you had better not have damaged it with that cursed hammer of yours."
"Aye sister. But you know Father had the Dwarves of Nidavellir forge his sword. I doubt even Mjolnir can damage it." The Thunder god said as he climbed the corpse of the snake.
"Well at least the Old Ox did something right. I would have killed him if he gave Haraldr an inferior weapon."
"Aunt Hela…"
"Yes dear Haraldr, but old habits die hard. Now let us leave this place. I am taking you to Asgard for proper treatment. Your Grandmother had a feeling you would need her healing this evening."
"But I have school tomorrow…"
"Now Haraldr, you do not want to upset your Grandmother again by refusing treatment do you?"
"No I don't." Harry's shoulders slumped in defeat.
"Good. Now you should know that the Sorcerer is also on Asgard. He said that the Norms told him he would be needed in Asgard. Now we know why." The goddess helped Harry to his feet and Thor joined them.
"It was a fine Battle Nephew we shall celebrate your victory once you return from you schooling for the year." The Thunder God smiled placing a hand on the boy's shoulder and nodded to Hela. The family of gods disappeared in a cloud of green smoke and away from this nightmare.
