Nobodies POV

Wanda warms her fingers against her mug.

McGonagall bought it for her when she was having a especially rough night. The mug was a ruby red with a gorgeous black handle.

Wanda watch's McGonagall butter the biscuits.

"So tell me dear, why did Linx assume it was okay to step over the line?" McGonagall asks, not trying to be condescending or place any blame on Wanda.

Wanda sighs. "Just recently Bellatrix Black has been putting it in peoples heads that I am a slag. And my blood status is no help in this situation." Wanda mumbles into her mug.

McGonagalls eyes sadden in pity. "I'm so sorry to hear that dear, and I will speak with the head of her house, she will be punished for her actions." McGonagall says

Wanda shakes her head. "It's nothing I can't handle but I hate that my whole house turned against because of my blood status, it's unfair and cruel." Wanda says

"I don't think it's about your blood status dear, I've forged your papers, your technically a pure blood in their eyes, you have enough magic in your blood to sustain a whole family line." McGonagall says

This was news to Wanda, she assumed she was put down as a muggleborn or a half born, it's a stretch but, she knows nothing about the wizarding world.

"So I guess it's a personal grudge?" Wanda asks "I am sorry dear, but possibly." McGonagall says

Wanda sighs deeply. "I don't understand her hate with, I've done nothing to her." Wanda says

"Wanda you are effortlessly beautiful, amazing at charms and Defence against the Dark Arts, even a old witch like me is jealous." McGonagall says

Wanda flushes. "I'm not all that special." Wanda says "and then there's your humility, honestly dear, look in the mirror and see what I see." McGonagall says

Wanda sighs, shaking her head exasperated. "Please McGonagall, please understand that I am only here to go home, I don't want to attract attention of a jealous witch. I have lived a life full of blood and violence, I just want my family." Wanda says

The Avengers....Loki.

Wanda wanted to give him a proper Asgardian send off, it was something they both talked about.

....

Past.

Wanda and Loki lay awake in bed, the room dark and quiet except from their soft breathing.

Loki had his head rested on Wandas soft chest, with the red head running her fingers through his hair.

"When I inevitably piss someone off enough to kill me, most likely Barnes of course, I'd like a Asgardian funeral." Loki says

Wanda softly laughs, shaking her head. "He won't kill you, most likely maim you, but his life would be boring without you there to annoy him." Wanda says

Loki chuckles. "I know, but when I do go, it's what I want." Loki says

"You do know I'm going to die before you do, I'm human and all." Wanda says

Loki smiles knowingly, but Wanda is unable to see the smile through the dark.

"My little witch, the things you don't know of your own bloodline." Loki mumbles

"Huh?" Wanda asks

Loki shakes his head. "Just promise me." Loki says

Wandas eyebrows furrow, shaking her head. "I don't like the things your implying, your not dying, are you?" Wanda asks, sitting up.

Loki pulls away and he turns to Wanda, shaking his head, noticing even in the dark that she was beginning to hyperventilate.

Loki gently takes her hands into his and he pulls her closer, staring into her eyes, calming her down.

"I'm not going anywhere, not for a very long time, but we're Avengers and we have no idea the evils we might face. I just want us to be prepared." Loki says

Wanda sighs and she pulls him down to kiss her. "I won't ever let that happened." Wanda whispers against his lips.

Loki smiles, opening his eyes to meet Wandas very serious ones. "I know." Loki says, he never felt safer then in her arms.

But nagging in the back of his head was the very serious threat of Thanos.

He was after him and he had to leave Wanda, he doesn't know when but he knows it's coming.

"Please don't ever leave me." Wanda begs softly
