"Who is she?"

"Shut up, it's more important that she wakes up."

"Maybe she can get us out of here?"

"Damn it, just answer my question: Who the hell is she?"

Skyler's ears work before her eyes do, but after the last voice, a feminine one, shouted that, her eyes get open rapidly, and she creates a black sword quicker than the chestnut-haired woman can react.

"Ah, now I know where she's from," the woman muses, "Asgardian, eh? How's Odin doing?"

Skyler takes in the familiar treats of the woman, her hair, her eyes, her smirk... "Holy Norns! You're Lorelei!"

With one eyebrow raised, Lorelei looks at her, scrutinizing Skyler's entire appearance, "How did you guess?"

"Like we tried to tell you, Lore, she isn't Asgardian!" A familiar voice speaks up from behind Skyler. The blonde swivels around and stares at the two identical faces. The raven hairs and the bright blue eyes.

"Narfi? Vali?" She asks astonished, and the two men nod. Skyler runs into their arms, hugging them both.

"It's so great to meet you! Of course, we've met before, but these are... less urging circumstances," Skyler states.

"Again: Who is she? " Lorelei whines, rolling her eyes. Skyler smirks broadly, straightening her posture as she looks at the siren.

"My name is Princess Skyler Thordottír-Foster of the Nine Realms, heir to the throne of Asgard and Protector of the Nine Realms. Let's not forget that I'm a powerful witch and an Avenger," Skyler says confidently.

"Well, Thor surely married a bright woman then, because I can't imagine something like you being created by Sif and Thor. Too much love for war, no brains," Lorelei says as she rolls her eyes.

"Pardon me? Sif was my teacher, lest you know. And she trained your daughter as well, so you practically owe her. And what makes you think my father married Sif ? My father might not act bright, but he has as much knowledge of the Realms as my grandfather and my uncle," Skyler states offended.

"And, Lore, let's just not forget that you have been here for quite a while," one of the twins says.

"Speaking of here... Where are we?" Skyler asks. Narfi and Vali look at each other, before sighing.

"We are in a world that is created to hold us captive. Urikson is smart, I have to give him that," Vali says.

"Where is my daughter, Black?!" Thor growls as he keeps the human by the collar of his shirt. The Order returned to the Headquarters, defeated.

"W-we don't know. S-she fell into the portal... We don't know where it comes out," Sirius stutters "but Dumbledore is trying the best he can. I-I've never seen the man so upset, same counts for Snape and the others. They're trying."

"Thor," Loki puts his hand on his brother's shoulder, "we can't do anything. Skyler's strong, she has gotten through worse. Keep faith and let the poor man go. If you kill him, Skyler's sacrifice would be in vain..."

Thor closes his eyes and releases the man, and as soon as Sirius has left the room, tears begin to fall down his face.

"She's too young, Loki. I've let her alone way too much to do this to her. Why couldn't it just be me?" he sniffs.

"That's what we all say, Thor," Harry Potter speaks up from the doorpost. He walks up to the two gods and looks at the ground, "I wanted to apologize, if I had listened to Hermione and thought clearly about the fact that Voldemort would torture Sirius at the Ministry of Magic, Skyler wouldn't have to be... you know. And her friends in Slytherin would still – I'm just so incredibly sorry."

Thor looks at the young man who just claimed the guilt for his daughter's disappearance, then, a small smile reaches his features and he dries his tears, "You just wanted to protect the only family you had left, boy. No one can blame you for that."

"Who is actually telling her friends in Slytherin?" Loki asks. Harry quickly explains that they'll probably hear it from their parents, considering that Gryffindor and Slytherin practically hate each other.

"I have to pay Hogwarts a visit," Loki states.

"Where the hell is, Skyler?" Blaise shrieks hysterically. Pansy and Daphne just told the three boys that they'd seen Potter's club returning to the infirmary, but there was no trace of Skyler.

"They all looked... like someone died." Daphne states, her eyes wide in realisation.

Draco shakes his head, "it's Skyler we're talking about... she'd never... she can't."

"I am glad you had that much trust in my niece, young Malfoy," a voice speaks up from behind them. Everyone immediately looks at the God of Mischief, who is standing in the middle of the Slytherin Common room.

"L-Loki?" Theo stammers fearfully. The raven-haired man raises his hands in surrender.

"Have no fear from me... I am barely bringing you the news before anyone else does it the wrong way."

"W-what news?" Pansy's voice is soft and vulnerable as she looks up to the God that stands before her.

"During the fight at the Ministry, Skyler defended someone dear to her. By doing so, she fell through a portal that was unknown to everyone. We don't know where she is, or if she's alive," Loki states, his face a stone mask, unbreakable and untouchable.

"Who did she defend?" Blaise asks curiously.

"The former criminal, Sirius Black, as Bellatrix Lestrange threw a Curse of Dead at him whilst he was duelling... Lucius Malfoy," Loki informs, not daring to look Draco in the eyes.

Draco opens his mouth to say something, when a blinding light brightens the entire common room. Then, there is that voice he missed so much, though it is cussing and threatening something.

"Dammit, Lore, couldn't you just keep that dragon in its cage?" Skyler Foster's voice yells through the room.

I hope you're realizing that Sirius Black is alive, and that I changed the entire timeline of Harry Potter? Thank you for reading - x
