Unfinished Gems

An Angel and a Trickster - 4

Chapter 4

~

Sirius only had to hear the words 'soul mate' and 'Loki' before he started crowing to Remus.

Apparently he didn't care about the fact Angel had apparently been tapped as the soul mate of a god...the fact she had landed Loki only made him prouder.

Probably why he had no issues with brewing the Animagus potion for his goddaughter and the twins.

Angel stretched. It was Christmas break, and for once she wasn't stuck in the drafty castle. Her hand bumped into something solid and warm.

Her eyes squinted and she vaguely made out the shape of something taller than her and snoring. She put on her new glasses to find Loki lying next to her.

Rolling her eyes and then smirking, she positioned herself carefully before she pushed him off the bed.

He fell on the floor with a squawk.

She snickered evilly.

"Har har," he said, returning to his spot and getting back under the covers.

Sirius had, upon learning of the soul bond, given the two a room. Molly had thrown up a fuss, but she had been overruled, since it was Sirius' house. Loki had set up a privacy charm to placate her, but they never mentioned that he rarely slept in the second bed.

However just because he was allowed to share the same bed didn't mean Angel appreciated having half of it taken by the glorified bed hog known as Loki. Hence why she kicked him off it. Her new pet wolf chuffed in amusement.

"I heard the potion was going to be ready tonight. Sirius has agreed to let you try it outside since there is a chance you might have a larger than normal form."

"I cant wait to see what the twins turn into," she said with a snort.

Angel's idea to get them started on the upgrade from ordinary wizards to tricksters in training was to turn them into animagi. In order to come up with a decent name for the twins' new forms, they needed to know their animal forms.

Angel gave Loki a look, and he turned over and closed his eyes while she got dressed.

They had agreed, once the bond was known, that they wouldn't do anything until Angel was sixteen at least. They could hug, share the same bed, and kiss, but that was it. Though Loki said she was free to touch his wings whenever she wanted, since she was so good at cleaning feathers.

It was as close to intimate that he would get with her until she reached sixteen.

Once Loki finally got up...mostly because Angel threatened to dump his breakfast on him if he didn't wake up...he got dressed and went downstairs.

Molly gave him the evil eye but didn't speak.

Apparently Sirius had broken down and told her flat out that he was Loki, a god, and therefore could have snuck into the room regardless of what spells she put on it. Loki couldn't believe that the twins still had their hearing after hearing Molly Weasley go into a rant on their joke shop.

Remus, when he learned of his actual identity, had been torn between his Marauder side and his werewolf self.

Loki was considered the patron of werewolves, because he was the father of Fenrir, the great wolf. And considering he was also a shapeshifter, that meant whenever the scattered werewolf packs prayed to a god, it was usually Loki they asked to bless them.

Remus was about due for another transformation, and Angel had asked Loki if he could do something to ease the pain, or at least change it to something less harmful to humans. She didn't want to see her uncle killed by hunters.
