Loki woke up very confused, aching and a bit more confused. Piecing together his thoughts was like doing a jiqsaw with all the pieces upside down with a second jigsaw being mixed in with it.

He had fallen. Fallen from the Bifrost and survived? Where did that thought come from? There were memories in his head he didn't remember getting. As he was busy revelling over the fact he didn't notice the sound of footsteps walking towards his newly formed crater in the ground, or maybe he didn't noticed because his entire head was ringing. Whatever the reason he must have still looked unconscious in his heap of rubble, probable broken limbs and closed eyes because the next thing he heard was "Wha' is i'?"

"I'm afraid I do not know Hagrid, nor do I know where it came from but let us get it away from prying eyes." This voice sounded older but Loki couldn't will his eyes open to see who was talking, or why they were calling him an 'it'.

Then he felt Seidr. Not quite the seidr he was used to, if anything it was completely different but there was something so familiar to him about it that he relaxed. However the relaxed state didn't last long as he felt his body shift, nudging and knocking his broken bones and stretching his stiff muscles. He was hovering above the ground as if on an invisible stretcher, trying to pick out what was being said around him but there was now so many voices that he couldn't concentrate.

It was at that moment his mind fell back into nothing.

When he woke up again it didn't hurt and it was easier to think. He could open his eyes as well which was definitely a plus.

He was in a hospital? It was filled with the cots usually seen in Midgardian hospital wards and there was a medicinal smell from what Loki could make out as potions sitting on the table next to his bed. Sitting up with a groan Loki climbed out of the bed sheets that he was buried underneath only to fall forward when he tried to stand.

He was…shorter than he remembered, reaching the height of a six year old child. What happened in his fall to make him lose his age? Loki yawned, bringing up a now tiny palm up to cover his mouth only to freeze when the skin on his face didn't feel smooth. Jumping back onto the bed and grabbing the silver tray from underneath the potion bottles (stopping as many as he could from falling and breaking but the ominously smoking multi-coloured liquid on the floor shows that he didn't quite make it) to look at his reflection.

A rounded, blue face with wide, red eyes looked back at him. The markings on his skin rose ups slightly in a foreign pattern that Loki didn't spend time looking at before he flung the tray across the room in a panic with a sharp shout of shock.

"Why now? What is happening?" Loki muttered to himself as he gripped handfuls of his hair and rocked back and forth, ignoring the feel of the tiny nubs of what he assumed to be the start of horns on his forehead. "Change back, change back now."

"What is going on in here?" an aged woman had come scurrying in rushing to Loki's side, prying his fingers from his hair (which was much harder to do than anticipated, his grip was like a vice) before forcing him to lie back down into the pillows behind him. "Calm down now deary, you're mostly healed now but I will make you sleep if you hurt yourself further."

Loki panted, eyes wide, and on the verge of hyperventilating as the stranger tucked him back under the covers. She apparently had no issue handling the blue skin, although she was careful in moving his hands which Loki realised held particularly sharp nails, almost claw-like in their black appearance, and his panicked movements were little threatening as he struggled to get away from the grip of the lady (he noticed later she was simply wearing gloves to stop her skin coming into contact).

"Where am I?!" he shouted once the healer had left his limbs alone, securely pinned under the layers of blankets (he was quick to escape their confines and sit up again on shaky arms). He watched in fascination as she waved a simply decorated stick at the mess of potions (currently burning a hole in the floor while tendrils of sludge rose into the air) and caused it to disappear. "Seidr." He gasped out, barely above a whisper and not heard by the other person in the room.

"You are at Hogwarts, dear, now get some rest, I've had to fix half of your bones and you've got a nasty head injury to recover from." She spoke as she hurried around the room, briefly going inside a store cupboard and coming out with a bottle of purple liquid. Pouring out an exact amount into a small glass she held it out to Loki, who didn't take it. "Drink it up dear."

"What does it do? And what is Hogwarts?" Loki new better than to drink random liquids given by unknown people even if they were some sort of healer, he was in an unknown place filled with people who had a much bigger advantage over him by just knowing where they were. Being blue and tiny didn't help either.

"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, now drink up, it will make you sleep until morning." A school? For magic? Well he definitely wasn't on Asgard anymore, not that he thought he was anyway but it was nice to be certain.

"You teach magic here?" Perhaps the younger body was affecting him because there was a bubble of excitement growing in his chest. A brand new type of magic taught on Midgard. Why had he never heard of this before?

"Yes, now drink." Loki grinned, he'd go back to Asgard eventually but he could cool off in Midgard for a while.

"Can–"

"Drink it, you can ask questions later."

"But-" This time he was cut off by the now deemed evil nurse lady forcing the liquid down his throat. He managed a small cough and a yawn before collapsing back into the pillows.

While Loki fell back into a dreamless sleep Madam Pomfrey had taken the opportunity to leave the Hospital Wing and pass the message onto Dumbledore that the strange blue creature had woken up but was now asleep again until morning.

This is posted on AO3 as well, I have no idea how to post stuff on this site - If you're reading this then I've worked it out.

Sorry for any grammar errors, I write these at about 1am :P
