Chapter 1
"No, Loki,"
And with those final words from Odin, Loki let go. He was falling, seemingly endlessly, until a black hole loomed in his path, sucking him inside.
*THUD!*
He landed hard, causing dishes to go clanging and food to fly everywhere. He opened his eyes and was looking up at the night sky. He blinked a few times in confusion, feeling hard wood beneath him. He turned his head gingerly and was met with a pair of cold eyes, so dark they were almost black. "And who...might you be?" the eyes' owner asked disdainfully.
The god rolled lithely from the table and stood to face the impudent mortal. "I am Loki. Of Asgard," he sneered. "And you are...?"
"Severus Snape. Professor Severus Snape," he emphasized with an air of self-importance.
"Well, Professor," Loki said in a mocking tone. "Do you mind telling me where I've landed?"
Snape glared at Loki. "In the midst of our start of term feast. How did you get in here?"
Loki gaped at him. "I fell, of course,"
"But from where?" Snape pressed.
Loki was growing bored with the questions. "I've told you already. Asgard,"
"Prove it," Loki waved his hand lazily, conjuring a goblet full of snakes. "You're a wizard?" Snape asked expectantly.
Loki laughed darkly. "Not a 'wizard.' I am a god," he corrected silkily.
