Facing the Dark

"I know I probably should have talked to you more before kissing you, or after kissing you," Sif continued speaking, a hint of nervousness in her voice. "But I must confess that I like you, Harry."

"Sif, you should know that…"

"I mean all the men in Asgard took so long to see me as a warrior because I was a woman, even my enemy's underestimate me because of that, but you knew and treated me like a warrior from the moment we first met." Sif continued speaking, as if she was unable to stop. "You're also a fierce warrior when fighting your enemies but you are also so kind and respectful to those you love or respect like Padfoot and Queen Frigga. And I was hoping you would just give me a chance to…"

"Sif!" Harry interrupted, his voice louder than before.

"Oh sorry," Sif looked down briefly, feeling embarrassed for rambling. "my apologies."

"That's fine, but what I wanted to say was we are not alone."

"Hi," Natasha said as she walked up to the two. "I am Natasha Romanoff."

"Oh yes," Sif's eyes filled with recognition. "Thor mentioned you, the 'Black Widow', you fought alongside Thor and Harry during the Chitauri invasion."

"Yes I did," Natasha nodded. "I am also Harry's girlfriend." Natasha informed her. Harry looked between the two women, he recognized the look in Natasha's eyes. It was calculating, Harry knew that in her head she was probably mentally analyzing Sif and was more than likely simultaneously thinking of what to say while also thinking about what she would do if things escalated into a fight.

Harry then looked at Sif, her face had turned red, though not with anger. Harry recognized the two key emotions as embarrassment and sadness. She looked at him with questioning eyes, as if to ask 'is that true?'. Harry felt kind of bad when he nodded, the look on her face was heartbreaking.

"Oh." She said in a quiet voice, her eyes looking down at the floor. Neither her or Harry were looking at Natasha, the redhead's eyes softened ever so slightly.

"Come on in." Natasha said as she gestured to the table.

"I'm sorry?" Sif blinked as she looked at Natasha, despite speaking in her usual voice, her eyes were teary and redder than before.

"You are already here, come in and eat." Natasha said.

"I… I don't wish to interrupt…"

"Nonsense, I don't mind." Natasha waved her protest off. "Harry, do you mind?" She asked, her green eyes locked on to his.

"Um… no?" Harry asked, wondering if that was the right answer.

"Excellent," Natasha nodded before turning back to Sif. "come on in, I'm sure Harry can magic up another chair and some food." She said before walking back to the table.

"Harry?" Sif looked at Harry with a confused look.

"Well… I guess you're invited to join us," Harry shrugged, a little confused himself. He raised a hand and wiped away a couple of Sif's tears. "come on." Harry said before he closed the door behind Sif and walked back to the table, Harry made another chair for her and gestured for her to sit. Sif still looked confused but hesitantly walked forwards and sat down.

"So Sif," Natasha said in a casual voice after taking a sip of her drink. "tell me about yourself." She said, it was time for information gathering.

...

"Voldemort!" Harry roared as he kicked the door down, he was dressed in black combat boots, along with a grey shirt under black hooded robes. He walked down the hallway, flicking his wand and sending a cutting curse at the neck of a death eater. "You can't hide from me! I will hunt you down!" Harry yelled as he continued walking down the hallway.

Another death eater appeared at the end of the hallway, he fired a body bind spell at Harry who easily ducked, Harry fired a bone breaker followed by a yellow acid spell. The death eater was able to block the first spell but was unable to stop the acid spell that struck his left foot, the death eater screamed and began hopping on his right foot, only for Harry to hit the other foot with a bone breaker.

The death eater fell to the ground screaming in pain as Harry walked up to him, the death eater tried to power through the pain and aim his wand at Harry but was cut off by a killing curse to the chest.

"Voldemort!" Harry called as he walks over the dead body. "Show yourself!" Harry yelled just as three more death eaters arrived in front of him, their wand tips glowed green but before they could fire Harry had shot a high powered wind blast that knocked them all off their feet and onto the ground, Harry followed up with three cutting curses to their necks before he walked past them and into the next hallway where someone was waiting for him.

"Hello Potter."

"Bellatrix," Harry growled. "where the fuck is your master?"

"Oh? Ickle wickle Potter wants to play with the big boys?" Bellatrix laughed madly.

"I'm not playing games, Bellatrix." Harry glared at her, not that she could see with his hood up.

"Oh, but I want to play!" Bellatrix grinned, "I want to play with you Potter." She said before sending a dark curse at him. Harry dodged then blocked her next curse before aiming his wand, a fizzing black sphere formed on the top of his wand before shooting straight at Bellatrix. Bellatrix's eyes widened before she dodged out of the way. "You could have disfigured my face!" She shouted at Harry.

"I didn't mean to disfigure," Harry said as he blocked two spells from Bellatrix. "only painfully kill."

"Bring it Potter!" Bellatrix yelled before firing a killing curse at Harry, the bright green spell shot towards him.

Harry's eyes snapped open to see Padfoot walk over to him.

"Woof." Padfoot barked softly as he nudged Harry.

"I'm fine." Harry said as he sat up, he wiped the sleepiness out of his eyes before he got off the floor and walked to the bathroom.
