4Loki and Niklas talked, while eating breakfast, Loki tried a peanut butter Toast with scrambled eggs, "this is so yummy", he said with a smile. Niklas smiled, "yes human food is really yummy", he said, "after breakfast we´ll go into the forbidden forest and i´ll show you something cool", Niklas said, "you can ask me also some questions", he added, "what is the forbidden forest", Loki asked, "the forbidden forest is the forest surrounding this castle, we students aren´t aloud to enter it because it´s full of evil and dangerous beings, but we´ll be fine", Niklas said winking at Loki and Loki smiled, they continued to eat, they didn´t notice that they were being watched by Harry, Ron, Draco and Hermione.
"Harry, do you know that kid", Ron asked, "no not really, okay i´ve seen him a lot around the castle and I always have a strange feeling around him, not a evil feeling, just a strange feeling, but I never talked to him", Harry said, "I wonder how Loki who is actually a demon and Niklas become friends so fast", Draco said, "and how the hell does he know all of these wired stuff, but most important: what is his dark secret that he doesn´t want to tell", he asked, "how about we follow them and find out", Harry suggested, "Harry, you don´t secretly follow people, that´s not nice", Hermione said, "yeah, I know, but he made me curious", Harry said, "fine, let´s follow them", Hermione said.
After breakfast Niklas and Loki stud up and walked out of the great hall, Draco, Harry, Hermione and Ron followed them, but kept their distance. They exited the castle and walked towards the forbidden forest, Draco, Ron, Harry and Hermione looked at each other, then they followed Niklas and Loki into the forest.
The walked deep into the forest, until they reached a clearing, Niklas and Loki stopped in the middle of the clearing, Harry, Hermione, Draco and Ron hid themselves behind a tree. "Okay Loki, do you want to see the cool thing, or do you want to first ask questions", Niklas asked, "how come do you know so much about my world and the world of Odin", Loki asked, "i visited both worlds before", Niklas said, "and what world do you like the most", Loki asked, "hell, because that is where my father was from, but I also like this human world a lot", Niklas said, "how is you father", Loki asked, Niklas looked very sad, "well, he actually came into the human world to find something to eat, he was that sort of demon that eat humans, don´t worry I don´t do that", Niklas said, "is it okay if I ask what has happened", Loki asked, "it´s okay, anyway he somehow landed in my mothers bedroom, he thought that she looked... yummy...", Niklas paused, "he just wanted to start on eating her, but she woke up, she didn´t scream, she just looked at him, my father couldn´t move, she touched him, let´s leave the details out. When my mum woke up the next morning she was laying next to a pile of ashes", Niklas said, tears started to run down his face, "i... I´m sorry", Loki said, "thanks..., anyway, my mum couldn´t throw the ashes away, she put the ashes into a wooden box and sealed it, and nine months months after that I was born, I was raised as a human but I knew somehow that I was different, about a year ago my mum told me everything, it was kinda cool to know that i´m a half demon and that I can leave in hell, heaven and human world and I wouldn´t die", Niklas said.
Harry, Ron, Draco and Hermione were looking at each other in surprise, their mouths hanging open, "Niklas is a half demon", Draco asked, no one said a word so they kept watching. "So do you have any other questions", Niklas asked, wiping his tears away, "are you alright", Loki asked, "yeah, yeah, i´m fine, it´s just painful to remember", Niklas said, "sorry, I didn´t want to make you sad", Loki said, he hung his head in guilt, "it´s okay", Niklas said, putting a hand on Loki´s shoulder, "Odin said that you are very powerful, how did he mean that", Loki asked, Niklas grinned, "yes I am very powerful", Niklas said, "how powerful", Loki asked, "have you heard of Draco, Harry and Voldemort", Niklas asked, "sure, they are really powerful magicians", Loki said.
"Woah, Harry, you are known in hell", Ron whispered.
"Correct, when you would merge those three people together, they wouldn´t be more powerful than a child who just learned to walk", Niklas said, "and in my demon form, well let´s just say: you shouldn´t make me angry", Niklas said smiling.
Ron, Harry, Draco and Hermione couldn´t believe what they were hearing, "more powerful than me, Draco and Voldemort", Harry whispered.
"Woah, I hope you will be on our side", Loki said, "i might be a half demon, but I like this world and the humans, i´d never harm them, so no worries, but i´ll use my powers only if it´s necessary", Niklas said. "You wanted to show me something cool", Loki said, Niklas smiled, "I was already wondering when you would ask", Niklas said, "I hope you are ready for this", he said.
Harry, Hermione, Draco and Ron were anxious to see what Niklas was going to do, that they didn´t notice something creeping up from behind them, suddenly they heard a twig snap behind them, all four of them spun around, behind them stood a huge creature with huge horns on its head, it had gray skin and a head like a bull and it was about ten feet tall. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco backed onto the clearing, "Harry, Draco, Hermione, Ron, what the hell are you doing here", Niklas asked, "um... we´ll explain later but first we have a huge and I mean huge problem", Harry said pointing to the trees. Niklas looked and saw the demon stepping into the clearing, "everyone step behind me and put your wands away, they are useless against him", Niklas said, they all stepped behind Niklas who stepped forward, "you again, I thought that you have learned your lesson, to leave me alone", Niklas said, the demon growled an raised its hand, "here we go again, oh well I could use a bit of exercise", Niklas said.
The demon swung his hand towards Niklas in a fast speed, a second before the hand made impact Niklas vanished and the demons hand slammed into the ground making it tremble. The demon grunted and looked around, "looking for me", came Niklas´s voice, everyone looked, and next to the hand print stood Niklas, the demon growled, "holy sh**, I didn´t see him move", Draco whispered, "come on, try again", Niklas said, the demon swung his hand again and again in Niklas´s direction, but every time missed him by inches. The demon´s hand connected with Niklas and sent him flying, Niklas slammed into a huge rock which splintered and crumbled, burying Niklas underneath the timbers, "NIKLAS", Loki called, the demon grinned and roared in triumph, then it started to move to the others, raising its hand, but before it could swing it in the kids direction there was a sound of moving timber, everyone, even the demon looked towards the shattered rock and they saw the rubble move and out of the rubble stepped Niklas, "I didn´t watch out there", he said dusting himself off, the demon growled and advanced at Niklas and the dance continued, "how the hell did he survive that impact", Hermione asked, everyone shrugged.
"This is getting boring", Niklas said, "i think I should end this, but this time I will not break your arm, i´m gonna take your life", Niklas said, "but I won´t take your life as a human, i´ll take your life as a demon", he said, everyone watched as Niklas´s body started to glow red, then suddenly he was engulfed in flames, the flames started to creep down his body, starting at his head. Niklas´s blond hair had turned into flames, his ears were a bit pointy, his skin was a royal blue color, his eyes turned from brown to red and his pupils turned to slits, his fingernails and toenails became claws, the flames died away and instead of a human boy there stood a demon-boy with a grin on his face. The demon had stopped swinging his hand at him, it was actually shaking and looked pretty scared, Niklas raised a hand, "any last words before I turn you into ashes", he asked, "Voldemort is returning, he will kill you and your friends", the demon said, "so it was Voldemort who has sent you, he seems to have a friend in hell, i´ll check that out, he can try, but these people are under my protection", Niklas said, "anything else I need to know", he asked, "Voldemort has planned to kidnap Draco, to brainwash him and use him as a spy and train him to become his weapon in the war", the demon said, "thanks for the warning", Niklas said, then a huge fireball erupted from his hand and engulfed the demon, who screamed in pain, in a matter of seconds the demon had vanished and a huge pile of ashes was laying in the ground, a gust of wind appeared and took the ashes away, Niklas turned back into his human self and turned to the group, "I trust that you all will keep this a secret", he asked, everyone nodded.
"Woah, Niklas that was so cool, you really are mega powerful", Harry said, Niklas nodded, "Draco, since the demon said that Voldemort has planned in kidnapping you, you should stay with your new friends", Niklas said, "can´t you stick around us", Draco asked, "i won´t be here for a few days", Niklas said, "what why", all of them asked, "well, I have to go into hell to find out who this powerful demon is who is helping Voldemort", Niklas said, "but who will show me around and help me", Loki said, "Harry, Ron and Hermione, even Draco will help you, and you can protect them, you are pretty strong as well", Niklas said, "yeah, but not as strong as you", Loki said, "it will be fine, i´ll be back in a few days", Niklas said, he walked over to Loki and the others, he gave all of them a hug, "see you all soon", he said, then he looked at Loki, "stay strong brother", he said and with a smile he turned into fire and sunk into the ground.
Harry, Hermione, Draco, Ron and Loki looked at each other, they agreed to hold to their promise and tell no one what had happened, so they headed back to the castle, Loki turned around and looked at the spot where Niklas had vanished, "hope you´ll return quickly, brother", he said, then he turned and continued to walk back to the castle with the others.
