After Fya heals Heimdall he returns to Asgard and Loki elects to remain in Midgard insisting he watch over Fya.
Fya is resting in one of the hospital beds while Zuko and Loki speaks quietly to the nurse ...
Fya wakes to the sounds of soft voices.
Let me get this straight you elected yourself king and now you are attempting to return?
Yes! It's not like I had a choice.
My uncle is regent at the moment. Why tell me? You are trustworthy and your heart is pure Lady Pumpfrey. Loki answers. The woman's eyes widen and Loki inclines his head. Merlin's beard. Loki just smirks.
But they all turn towards the doors as they open a man in billowing robes following after a woman dressed in bright pink.
I assured you the boy isn't here!
Madume Pumpfrey have you seen Mr. Potter? The woman dressed in pink asks.
I have not the nurse says. She stands up to meet the woman.
Well...explain ....why that student isn't in uniform!
She says indicating Zuko. Zuko wisely stays silent as Madume Pumpfrey says
He is a new student and they have not obtained their supplies yet.
Why not? She snaps.
This time it's Loki who answers. He smiles widely and he says I am afraid our journey was ...rougher than expected I elected to take my charges straight here instead of to the ally.
Surely their safety is paramount? He asks his head tilted to the side.
Surely you could have taken them to st. Mungos as that is located closer to the alley.
You must understand my charges and I are ...new to this region of the magical world back home it is ...different. He says.
And who might you be? She asks looking at him disdainfully. Loki raises an eyebrow.
"Prince Loki Odinson of Asgard" he says inclining his head.
What! How dare you! She says sticking up her finger. Loki just smiles wildly.
I dare? He says before he notices Fya is awake and watching the entire exchange.
He leaves the pink lady who says
I am senior undersecretary and headmistress of this school!
Loki ignores as he speaks softly to Fya.
He takes something out of his pocket and hands it to Zuko. Luckily I have a vault that can be accessed in this realm.
I made it long ago. The goblins will be able to ensure you get what you need.
He leans forward and kisses Fya's forehead. He looks until he sees Severus Snape.
You will take care of them?
Of course Severus says must you leave now? He asks. Loki nods.
I must. He puts a hand on Zuko's shoulder.
No! I demand you stay I... Loki shakes his head and he goes over to a mirror.
Stop! Where are you going I demand - the lady in pink stops speaking when Loki vanishes through the mirror.
What?! She goes over to the mirror and touches it she turns to Zuko explain yourself!
The clock chimes and the man in the dark robes says classes are to begin soon.
Worry not about the new students I will ensure they are taken care of.
The woman in pink studies him for a long moment before she says thank you Severus I don't know what I would do without you.
She turns and leaves the room.
Once the door has been closed for several moments Zuko watches as he takes out a wooden stick and mummers some nonsense words.
Then he turns to him and Fya who watches.
She jumps when he lights the stick with a mummer and she backs away from it.
Hey! Zuko says moving the stick out of her face.
I apologize he says raising his hands. Zuko studies him warily.
Then he says what is that?
My wand. Snape holds it out to Zuko who touches it warily.
Strange ..Zuko mummers ...there's ...Fya touch it.
Fya hesitantly reaches out her hand and lightly touches the wood. Her eyes widen and she carefully moves her hand away.
Energy she whispers her voice soft. Zuko nods.
He gently moves some hair away from her face and he moves to sit next to her.
Who was that man to you? Severus asks.
Loki? Zuko asks.
Severus nods and he says sort of like a mentor I guess more to Fya than myself ...when she was in the army that was her nickname.
Army? What sort of army is made up of children? A dark look enters Zuko's eyes and Fya takes his hand and squeezes it.
My father's Zuko says bitterness enters his voice. Under Ozai everyone had to serve in the army. No matter what. Including children. He says bitterness entering his voice.
But...what kind of ruler would condone that?
A madman. Zuko says.
Severus nods finally leaving it and he says do you plan on staying?
Until Fya gets her strength back.
Then we must return to my ...our homeland. He says.
Until the end of term then? Zuko nods and Severus says very well.
Luck will have it this weekend me where the three of us may travel to the bank to obtain the funds your ...mentor mentioned.
But for now I do believe you both need to be sorted and if you end up in a house other than my own your head will take care of it.
Zuko nods and then Fya says house?
Group. There are four in Hogwarts Slytherin Huffelpuff Ravenclaw and Gryffindor.
The hat will look at your thoughts your mind and determine which house suits you best.
