The Unknown

Chapter 28: Truths part 2

She turned to leave but Thor said loudly, "Dahlia Potter, we wish to speak to you".

"About what?" She asked turning back to face them and tried to contact Hela, "sister, emergency. They've found out, Thor's got my box...Hela, can you hear me? Sister, I need you...Hela..." no response came.

Thor walked closer, the other Avengers were close by too but Clint and Bruce were whispering to the professors to get out of the hall and to take the students with them. Of course, they were just as confused and didn't move as instructed. For Professor Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Snape, seeing Thor before them wanting to question Dahlia made it all unreal. They knew who her parents were, there was no doubt.

"What is this?" Professor Umbridge almost shrieked, "you're interrupting Ministry business".

"Dahlia," Professor Dumbledore said as he stepped closer, "is there something you wish to tell us?"

Dahlia tried to act innocent as she said, "I don't know what you mean. Professor, what's going on?"

Thor held out the box and demanded, "take the box. I want you to place your hand on the top and open it".

Everyone was staring at her, she knew if she didn't take the box they would take that as confirmation, but if she touched the top of the box, they would be able to tell she has magic not belonging to Midgard. All she knew for sure was that she couldn't contact her sister and she wanted, no, needed, her box back.

She held out her hands as Thor handed the box over and Fudge asked, "what is going on here?"

"You'll be told in a moment," Clint said eyeing Dahlia's actions carefully. Fudge looked to Dumbledore but the headmaster seemed to be focusing on the situation at hand.

As Dahlia held the box in one hand, she raised her other hand to put it over the top, everyone was waiting for her to put it on when she stopped. She moved her hand to the side as she sighed and looked up to Thor and asked, "what gave me away?"

"And that's confirmation," Tony said, attempting to joke but his mood showed that he was anything but joking. Dahlia expected them to all hold up their weapons, to threaten her or to maybe even shoot her, not fatally, just so she was weakened. The only change between them all was that Tony used his watch to change it into a repulsor like he had on his suit but he kept his hand down, as if the repulsor was just for show and he wasn't actually going to use it.

Dahlia barely glanced at the other Avengers but kept her eyes trained on Thor, waiting for him to answer and he finally did, "you caused the glass to shatter in the classroom".

Dahlia shook her head as everyone in the hall began to whisper, "I didn't mean for that to happen. You were telling lies; my sister isn't like how you were describing her. She and my brothers were never a threat before the prophecy was told, it was only then that you began to fear them. Niflheim too, you haven't even been there since my sister became queen, even before that you were unwelcomed and you talk about it like you've been there. You have no right".

"I have every right," Thor shouted.

"No, you don't," she shouted back.

It was then that Professor Dumbledore decided to step forward and say, "we should take this to my office".

"No," Dahlia said immediately, "if Thor wants to kill me, he can kill me here. Show everyone here who he truly is: a man willing to kill a child".

"Nobody wants you dead, kid. We just want to talk," Clint said.

Dahlia scoffed and said, "really? Clearly, Thor hasn't told you everything then. I guess he wants to talk off Midgard, that's not going to happen". She glanced quickly to Hawkeye and said, "I know you are only cautious because of what my father did, but I am no threat to you. I promise. As a sign of faith, I'll talk to you considering you have reason to hate my father. But if I must be removed from school, I'll talk to you at SHIELD or at an Avengers compound, but with no Asgardians".
