STATUS: Ongoing

For the first few days, Thor loved the holidays. He could spend time with his family, eat whenever he wanted and not have to worry about study for the most part (he could bullshit his assignments later, right?). However, after a few days he would begin to grow restless. Thor is an adventuresome sort, if he can't find fun around the house he will make fun. Thor's variety of fun generally leads to mess and chaos, so it's best to get him out of the house for at least a few hours.

Filled with brotherly pride and excitement, his mission for the day is to assist Loki in finding all of his school books and items for the year. Diagon Alley is bustling with more than a few new students checking off their lists and Thor's attentions are fairly easy to lose when faced with new ideas. After hitting a few shops, Thor spies a pet store and comes up with a brilliant little idea. In a move that he would probably regret, he tells his younger brother to stay put with his ice cream while he goes to look at brooms. Little does Loki know, Thor actually intends on buying something for Loki that isn't broom like at all. Every boy needs an animal companion and Thor had spotted the perfect one for his trickster of a brother. He's determined to keep it a suprise as he weaves off into the crowd, leaving Loki alone for what he assumed would be a short time.

Loki jumps at the sound of the bird as well. At his brother's exclamation he looked up and his blood-shot eyes widen.

"Thor, he's beautiful!" A large smile breaks across Loki's face.

[brothor]

Thor nudges the bird onto his hand. It seems hesitant at first, but it finally hops on, tilting its head curiously at Loki as Thor stretches his hand out closer. He's grinning so wide right now, almost as excited to give the present as Loki is to take it.

"He is yours!"

[thesmallesttrickster]

Loki's face lights up with the biggest smile he'd ever worn.

"Really? Thank you, Brother!"

The bird makes it's way onto Loki's shoulder, where Loki begins to pet it's sleek black feathers.

"But I thought I was only allow an owl in Hogwarts?"

[brothor]

Well, if Thor was feeling worried of guilty just now, it's passed. Seeing his brother smile like that makes everything worth it. Almost.

He claps a hand on his shoulder and gives him a friendly shake, beaming back at him. He's glad the bird seems to to take to Loki, it suits him quite well.

"We will have father talk to him. He makes a rather charming companion, don't you think?"

[thesmallesttrickster]

Loki was still slightly shaken up, but his brother giving him such a lovely present.

"I think so. Does he have a name?"

[brothor]

"He does not, actually." His grin can't get wider, oh my god. "He is yours to name as you wish."

[thesmallesttrickster]

Loki thought for a moment, considering his new pet and what would be a suitable name for him.

"Ikol. His name is Ikol."

Yeah, Loki backwards. Not very creative, but he's 11.

[brothor]

"A handsome name for a handsome bird!" Thor reaches out to pet the bird's head with a finger, but it seems to have taken a disliking for him and shies away from his hand. That only earns it a soft smirk from Thor as he stands u straight.

"I only hope that he will serve you well."

[thesmallesttrickster]

"I am sure he will!" He took Thor's hand and smiled.

"Come, let us complete our shopping so we may partake in ice cream!"

[brothor]

Thor sways their hands as he looks about Diagon Alley, thinking about his own list before glancing down at his brother.

"You read my mind!" He chuckles. "What more can you possibly need, brother? Do you have all of your books?"

[thesmallesttrickster]

"I would like to pick up a book on magical languages, but other than that I have everything. What of you, Thor?"

His smile was wide as they proceeded down the street. Surprisingly Ikol stayed on his shoulder the entire time.

[brothor]

"Oh! Are you taking Professor Strider's class? It seems terribly exciting." He fumbles for his own, crinkled and abandoned list, trying to figure out what's been crossed off and what's been smudged.

He groans. "I need my herbology book."

[thesmallesttrickster]

"I am hoping to. He said if it were not possible he would give me separate tutelage."

Loki glances over at the list, a slight frown on his face at it's state.

"Then let us proceed to the book store!"

[brothor]

"Professor Strider is the coolest, you will soon see! He makes the other professors look like-- actually, that is not true. They are all pretty cool."

He smiles fondly, having made himself excited about the fact that his brother is finally coming to Hogwarts for what feels like the millionth time these holidays.

"Onward!"
