Two Choices

I saw guards walking towards me. I followed them, amazed to see Asgard. Odin walks up. "Witch!" he shouted. I look at him, "All-Father," in the same tone. "What could I have done to get the All-Father all worked up to summon me to Asgard?" I ask. Odin grins his teeth at my attitude. I noticed I was getting under his skin and enjoyed it. "Listen, I have a son to get home to and a dragon, so can I go?" I ask. "If you agree to Loki being your guardian," Odin said. I was laughing and stopped. "Your serious fine, whatever. I will return with Loki, who is burdened with glorious purpose," I said. Odin nods and slams his staff guards, bringing out Loki. "Come on, Loki." I sound like I am summoning a dog. Loki walks over, pissed off, and follows me across the rainbow bridge, and Hemidell sends us back to my home. "So you have a child, a life-sucking spawn," Loki said. I glare at Loki. "Watch your mouth," I said, walking into my home. 

Atlas ran out and hugged me. "Mommy, where did you go," he said, covered in paint. I laugh at it. "Mommy just needed to talk to some friends," I say. Loki looks. "I thought you said you had a son, not a daughter," he said, looking at Atlas. "I am a boy. I am extra cute like mommy says," he said. 

I smile and nod and wave, and the paint disappears. Loki takes a closer look at Atlas. "Mommy needs to be honest," he said. I glare at him. "Watch your tone around my child," I said. Loki raised his hands. "Yes, Mam," he said. Atlas smiles in my arms. "Mommy, you got a large order from Hogwarts," he said.

I put my son down and pick up the paper, and I wave my hand as boxes float over and fill with items. "Hogwarts?" Loki asked. "It's a magic school," I say and finish setting the boxes in the circle. "Atlas, get your things," I say. Atlas nodded. "Okay, mommy," he said and ran off. Loki looks. "So you go to school to learn magic?" he asks. I nod. "Some get picked to go mostly from magic families and some from non-magic families," I say. Loki nods and steps into the circle with them. I coat my arm, and Atlas touches it. Loki follows, touching my arm. I smile, my heartbeat raised, and I feel Loki's hand. I shake my head and place my hands on the ground, and we arrive at Hogwarts.
