The small group of Gryffindors made their way to the lake with Tonks and Akio following and thankfully, neither one asked questions, but Tonks kept glancing at Dahlia as if she knew she was to blame. When they got to the lake, they leaned against large rocks as Dahlia paced in front of them and Tonks couldn't hold back any longer.

She walked to the Gryffindors and asked, "okay, what happened to Umbridge?"

Dahlia ignored her as she paced in front of the lake. She thought of Umbridge and what she had done and surprise surprise, a portal opened and within seconds out came her sister. Dahlia turned away as she rolled her eyes, but Hela said, "hey," and strode forward and grabbed her arm to turn Dahlia. "Don't turn your back on me, what happened?"

"So, you're talking to me now? You've barely spoken to me since you were sending the souls back".

Hela took a deep breath, aware that she was still holding Dahlia's arm as she said, "we're not discussing that...what happened between you and that professor?"

"Nothing," Dahlia said as she ripped her arm out of Hela's hold.

"Really?" Hela said as she let off a small laugh and said sarcastically, "so, I don't have Aurors and the Ministry demanding it was one of us who tortured a Ministry official, as much of a bitch as she is? I don't currently have Aurors under their rubbish invisibility cloaks watching the camp? I haven't been and seen a woman covered in scars, attempting and almost clawing her eyes out because she is having everything taken off her to harm herself with, and I don't sense your magic involved?".

As Hela mentioned Umbridge clawing at her eyes, Dahlia looked down regretfully and shook her head as she said quietly, "I didn't mean to...I didn't..."

"Sister," Hela said softly as she stepped closer and lifted Dahlia's chin up with her fingertips. "We're sisters. We're going to disagree on a lot of things, the way I handle my love life is going to be one of them. But you know I'm always here for you...so tell me, what happened?"

Tears came to Dahlia's eyes as she asked, "is she going to die? Did I kill her?"

"No no no no no, I promise, you didn't kill anyone," Hela said quickly knowing her sister didn't wish to kill anyone. "Her injuries aren't life threatening, she won't die from them. But what happened?"

Dahlia shook her head slightly as she explained, "she was hurting kids, I just wanted her to stop. She was making us write lines in detention that used our blood instead of ink and marking our hand and even after the truth came out, she wasn't stopping".

Hela reached for her sisters' hands at the tip and looked at both. They seemed fine but then slowly writing on her left hand began to appear. 'I must not tell lies' was now as clear as day.

"Why didn't I see this?" Hela asked.

"Glamour charm," Dahlia answered.

"But why now? Why take revenge now?" Hela questioned.

"It wasn't revenge," Dahlia answered as she released her hands from her sisters and said, "it was justice for what she did to all us kids, but I never meant for it to go the way it did. I snuck out last night through the window and onto my broom and I didn't know what I was planning to do when I got there, I guess I just wanted to see if she had any remorse for what she had done. When I got to her office windows, I just saw her smiling as if she hadn't just been harming an eleven-year-old. She was just smiling and drinking her tea and I got angry and the next minute she picked up the quill and began to write herself. No sign of stopping or slowing down".

Hela frowned and asked, "did you say any spell? Mind control?"

Dahlia rapidly shook her head for a moment and said, "no, I swear I didn't. I'm rubbish at the mind, you know that, I barely know any spells that could do something like that and my box is in the camp for any hope of even finding one. I just got angry, then..." she licked her bottom lip as she looked down then looked back to her sister as she said, "my hands, my magic was showing itself, but it was different. My hands turned gold, it was as if my veins were on fire. I could see them through my very skin and I couldn't control it. I went back to my room and it soon stopped and I thought she stopped doing it too...sister, what's happening to me?"

Hela opened and closed her mouth for a moment before she answered, "I don't know, it could be your magic and the poison's affects...I don't know. Dahlia, I'll find a way to stop this".

"Is she really trying to claw her eyes out?" Dahlia asked wanting to be certain.

"Forget what I said. Even if she does deserve it," she smirked.

Dahlia gave a small smile and said, "Hela".

"Okay okay, healers are coming from the hospital to look at her and help her. Maybe they can stop what you did considering you didn't say a spell and you're not still wishing her harm and glowing as you said. I'm going to try and find out what's happening with your magic. Papa and Jora are still on Niflheim looking at what you asked for," she said being discreet, so no one would know it was for healing magic. She added, "I'll go and ask them what they think about your magic, see if they can find anything". Dahlia nodded. Hela then looked to the others looking at them, specifically Tonks, and said, "you will not arrest my sister or even try it".

Tonks hesitated but it was Dahlia, so she shrugged and said, "like she said, she couldn't control it".

Hela then smiled to her sister and said, "keep your head down while I fix this, okay?" Dahlia nodded, and Hela hugged her quickly before opening a portal and leaving.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The library seemed like the perfect place to keep low as it was a Saturday and many of the students avoided the library in favour of spending the day with friends. For Hermione, she was comfortable in the library as Madam Pince, the librarian, who many thought was unpleasant, saw Hermione on almost a daily basis and knew the smart bushy-haired Gryffindor wouldn't vandalise any of the books. For Dahlia and the twins however, they weren't in there nearly half as much and it was clear when Madam Pince looked up from her desk and her eyes stayed on them, expecting the pranksters and the prankster's daughter to do something to her precious books.

Madam Pince stopped watching them when they went between the aisle at the back of the library, near the restricted section, and sat down at a secluded table. Akio and Tonks sat at another table down the aisle, Akio almost meditating in his chair while Tonks grabbed a random book and began to read.

While the library was a common place for Hermione and Dahlia was happy to read books when it came to her own library, the boys were different. They were smart and had to consult books on occasions when creating their prank sweets, but they spent very little time there. So, as they sat the boys began to quietly write down their stocks, financial records and plans for the shop they planned on opening after school while Dahlia worked on her work from Professor Almar and Hermione studied for the OWLS. Time passed by and no one disturbed them but they did hear whispers of students returning books and talking of how they witnessed Umbridge being put in a full body bind by the spell Petrificus Totalus but no one said anything about it or questioned Dahlia.

Thankfully, no one interrupted them until Neville did as he was returning a book on Herbology. He smiled and said, "hey guys".

"Hey, Neville," Dahlia said while the others smiled at him. "Want to join us?" Dahlia asked and gestured to the chair across the table from her and Hermione.

"I...I er..." he said nervously and looked to the side and Dahlia frowned but then blonde hair appeared, walking out from the bookcases, and it was the blonde hair of Luna Lovegood.

She smiled at them and said, "hello".

Dahlia glanced quickly to Neville who she saw looking between them and Luna and noticed he had gone slightly pink at the cheeks. She tried not to smile as she glanced to Hermione who had also noticed and glanced her way. Dahlia then asked, "Luna, would you like to join us?"

Luna looked to Neville and gave him a slight nod and they both sat down, just as Dahlia smirked and gave Neville a quick wink. He blushed and looked down. She couldn't help but tease him if he had a crush on the young Ravenclaw. "So, what're you two doing in the deep corners of the library?" Fred teased.

Luna answered casually, in her usually deep dream-like state, "Neville was showing me where a book on Oxelas Grapevine is. They're the main food source for Hornisrire".

"Horn-" Hermione frowned, "I've never heard of such a thing".

"They're very small and red, many people look past them. They have four legs and wings and..."

As Luna continued to describe the Hornisrire to Hermione who looked unconvinced, Dahlia reached into her bag on the floor with her books in from Professor Almar and brought out a dark red leather book, placed it on the table, and flicked through the pages quickly. She found the page she wanted and jumped into Luna's explanation and turned the book, so they could all see the page. Of course, it was in Norse, so they couldn't understand but they could see the picture. She said, "they're originally from Muspelheim. They lay eggs between the rocks and when the rocks are hot enough from the temperature of the realm, they hatch. It is possible they could be here, things have come from other realms before if they fall through one of the passageways or are even brought by people. They'll be found in warm countries and many people won't even notice them because they're that small, small enough you'd probably take a second glance if you did manage to see one, but they'd probably have already disappeared. They do have four legs and wings but have a rock texture to them and can get quite warm, so they have the tendency to feel like you're being stung if you touch them. The shorter name is Hornisrire but it's much longer and you probably wouldn't be able to pronounce it".

While Luna kept smiling, the others looked shocked and Hermione asked, "are Nargles real?"

Dahlia shrugged and said, "I've never heard the term Nargle yet used on any other planet or realm, but it is possible they go by a different name off Midgard or be from outside the nine realms".

George whistled slightly as Fred said, "let's just say everything is real".

"But the evidence," Hermione started.

"Is there," Dahlia interrupted, "every myth, legend, every story comes from somewhere. It may not be here, but everything has truths to it across the universe, you just have to believe. Sixteen years ago, there was no proof to the public of alien life, you were mad if you believed in life out there. There was no proof that the Norse legend had any truth to it, that it was anything more than a story, and now look".

She reached into her bag again, this time pulling out a silver orb with swirls and writing on it in old Norse and placed it in the centre of the table, twisting the top half in the process that released a light and a hologram showed in the air to all of them.

"Let's shed some light on the truth," Dahlia said, "this is called an orb of knowledge, it's shown to everyone in orientation on Niflheim and helps tell the story of Niflheim and all who live there. It teaches about realms and different beings that come from them. There are different orbs depending on ages, realms and even if you're magic or not on this realm. It'll show you everything you need to know, even currency".

Dahlia then went to her pouch and brought out four different circular coins. The smallest was a bronze circular coin with writing along the edge, engraved into one side was a tree while on the other were different people working the land. The next coin was the same size but was bronze along the edge where the writing was and silver in the centre where two hands were being joined in peace. A silver and gold coin was next, silver around the edging with writing while the gold in the centre held the image of half and half, a world of peace and a world of suffering. The final coin was the largest and completely gold with writing along the edges and a sword and a bow and arrow crossed each other in the centre for the engraving.

Dahlia picked up the bronze one and said, "it's easy to pick up. This is Exima, the lowest amount. All the coins have trees on the back to represent Yggdrasil, as that's what we're all joined by no matter our differences. The engraving says, 'those who do not remember the past, are condemned to repeat it'. It shows people working, representing the change in Niflheim when my sister came, and the change that happened. The second one," she now held the silver and bronze one, "is called Blasima. Now five Exima's go into one Blasima. The quote on this one is 'united we shall stand, divided we shall fall', representing the unity between all the people on Niflheim from different realms. The third," she held the silver and gold one, "is called Ishadore. Ten Exima's go into one Ishadora which means two Blasima's make one Ishadora. The quote is 'a reflection of life is shown in their afterlife', clearly talking about the two sides of Niflheim of peace and punishment. Finally, the last one," she now held the gold coin, "is called Galifen. Now twenty Exima's go into this which make four Blasima's and two Ishadore's. The quote is 'we shall protect our world from all those who would wish us harm'. Niflheim has faced its share of wars like any other realm, especially since it became knowledge to others that the weapons on Niflheim can destroy souls".

Hermione then asked, "when we go, how do we get money? Can we transfer money?"

Dahlia let off a small laugh and said, "'Mione, you don't need to worry about money. Niflheim isn't a poor world, it's not going to break the world giving you guys some money. Besides, I get this princess allowance, sounds stupid but I just have to attend these meetings and balls and other royal events and do my princess duties as they say. So, I can give you money. You just need to worry about persuading your parents to let you go". She sent the same smile to the twins and Neville, even though she knew the twins were going with or without their mother's approval. It was when she looked at Luna that she felt sorry and said, "Luna, I'd invite you, but my sister is already cautious".

"It's okay," Luna said and seemed surprised that Dahlia had even thought about her.

"I did, however, ask about your mother for you," she said, and Luna's mouth dropped open slightly. "She's on Niflheim. She lives in a mixed community and apparently has quite the mixture of plants in her garden. She's a lot like you from what I've been told, or, I guess, you're a lot like her. If you want, you can write a letter and I can give it to her when I go back".

Luna gulped and nodded, not trusting herself to thank Dahlia as she now had a chance to tell her mother she loved her and say goodbye or in this case, see you later if Luna went to Niflheim in death.

"Let's see if learning about the world she's now on helps and," Dahlia glanced to the others, "you need to learn before you insult someone without meaning to".

She swiped her hand across the orb and it quickly showed Niflheim as it was now before quickly going back, like a rewind, all the way until the ruins of before Hela's time and then nothing. There was a blank view but then a young girl appeared, with long curly blonde hair and blue eyes and she smiled as she said, "hello, there's no need for you to panic or be alarmed. My name is Samara and I know, I look like a fourteen-year-old girl but like you, that's just the age I died. I died a long time ago, before your Ministry, before Hogwarts, and I have a special job. I am a member of the council, and I know that means nothing to you now, but I represent the magical children of Midgard, or as you may know it, Earth. I'm here to tell you the story of your new home and that you have nothing to worry about. One life has ended but now the rest of eternity has begun, and it can be a fun and exciting one..." as Samara went on to tell the story of Niflheim and of all the realms, her appearance disappeared and was replaced by holograms of what they needed to see, like other realms' appearances for instance.

As Samara went on, Dahlia too learned things of Niflheim she hadn't known before, so it was educational for them all and when they did ask questions, it distracted Dahlia from Umbridge and what happened.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Three Broomsticks, the ever so popular pub in Hogsmeade, was hard to find quiet, especially on the days where the students were allowed down from the castle, that just added a younger vibe to the already packed pub. The pub was warm and welcoming to the people allowed inside and it was a bit smoky from people smoking and the fireplaces, but it was clean and always welcoming thanks to Madam Rosmerta. While witches and wizards gathered around to have a drink and a chat, most talking about what was happening at the castle with Umbridge but many talking about Dahlia and what was happening with her.

Deep in the corner of the pub, at a booth against the fire that had been lit, was the small group of heroes, together with their creator. All were drinking Butterbeer and Firewhisky as they recalled what was going on at the castle as Fury listened. He asked, "any news on the woman?"

Steve shook his head and replied, "she went to St Mungo's three hours ago, they said they're getting mind healers on her. They're still trying to figure out how it happened, but all the writing is definitely from the quill".

Fury gave a slight nod, "Kings told me they're opening an investigation into the matter. The writing on her is something you'd give kids lines in detention, they're going to be in the school questioning kids about it".

"They should," Tony said, "she's been hurting those kids for about seven months now. Nothing could be done because she was following the orders of that Minister".

Fury took a deep breath and looked around before he said quietly, "won't be Minister for long. He's being forced to step down at the end of today and the Wizengamot will be deciding who will be the next Minister and they will be sworn in on Monday morning. It's need to know".

"'Bout time," Clint said, "guy was a dick".

Fury smirked slightly and asked, "and what's your opinions on the Loki, death camp, family matter?"

Bruce answered first, "they seem to just want Dahlia to get better and then leave, and I say we let them".

The majority of them nodded to what Bruce said and Natasha added, "Dahlia's a good kid, training a little hard for being a kid, but she is a good kid. They all seem all for ending this war and going home and just being together".

Clint mumbled, "Thor and Odin really screwed them up".

"Speaking of Thor," Steve said, "we've all agreed that we'll work with him for now, help take down Voldemort, protect these kids and stop the war from spilling into our world like last time, but after that, we don't trust him to have our backs".

"Agreed," Fury said and looked to Tony, "I want his clearance removed from SHIELD systems and I assume you've already done the Avengers systems?"

Tony nodded, "and changed access codes into all our safe houses and our floors. Pepper doesn't want him near Anna".
