"So, you're saying that he," Mrs. Weasley points at Loki, "is your uncle?" Her voice is a bit shrilly, which Skyler completely understands.
"Yes."
"And you're absolutely sure he's good?" The woman, Nymphadora Tonks – "Just Tonks", she'd said when they were presented to each other – asks.
"Yes."
"And you couldn't tell any of us this sooner?" Fred and George say in unison.
"Well... yes." Skyler answers carefully. The Hogwarts students shoot her dirty looks, except Hermione.
"Anyway, I'm still not OK with it that he's in my house." Sirius growls. Harry rises from his seat and walks over to Loki and Thor. He holds out his hand and shakes hands with both Gods.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with him, Sirius." The Boy Who Lived says, before walking over to Skyler. "I want to thank you, Sky. I know that we haven't really treated you nicely, since you were a Slytherin and girlfriend of – you get what I mean – but even though we didn't talk, you saved me. If you hadn't been there on the graveyard, I'd have died for sure."
Skyler shakes her head at Harry, her eyes misty. "It wasn't any trouble." She whispers. Loki snorts, overhearing their small conversation.
"No trouble? Really, Sky? Almost bleeding to death, almost dying in my own arms... isn't that any trouble?" He spats, eyeing Sirius carefully, as the man is eyeing Loki as well. Skyler rolls her eyes as the other people in the room gasp.
"Really, uncle? You had to make a scene?" Skyler mumbles, facing Hermione, Fred and George.
"Weasleys. Granger." She tells them curtly, before attempting to walk over to Lupin, Moody and Tonks.
"Skyler..." Fred starts.
"We want to tell you how sorry we are." George adds. Skyler scoffs mockingly, not caring for apologies.
"Skyler," Hermione starts, "we thought you were dead." Skyler freezes, and looks at her former friends.
"Really? You haven't learnt anything, did you? I don't die that easily. I get wounded, yes, but I'll never die without a big fight." Skyler growls.
The Gryffindors look down at their feet, causing Skyler to just walk away and sit down with the adults, asking them about the situation.

Just after a few hours of talking – mostly Lupin asking questions and Loki or Skyler answering them – Skyler's phone rings. It reads: SUPERAWESOME BILLIONAIRE WHO I LOVE DEARLY, A.K.A, Tony Stark.
Tony installed Skyler's phone, for the record.
"I think I've got to take this one, for a second..." Skyler says awkwardly, walking out of the kitchen, into the hallway.
"What's up, Tony?" Skyler asks annoyed, for most of the times, he calls for unnecessary reasons.
"Yeah, hey, Sky. We need your help here. There are some freaks with a spaceship, and a doctor or something, rambling about that guy, Urikson and his big mate, some Thanos... I don't exactly know what to think, but we might need Thor's judgement, and yours. Reindeer Games could be useful as well." Tony Stark points out, sounding slightly stressed.
"Okay, Tony, I get it. We'll be there in a few minutes, just... offer all the freaks a drink?" Skyler replies with a raised eyebrow as she ends the call.
"What was it about, Ms. Foster?" Moody asks as Skyler enters the kitchen again. Skyler sighs and looks at her relatives.
"Tony needs our help. We need to go. Now." Skyler says curtly.
"What? Why?" Thor asks, pouting. He was in a good conversation with Tonks and Black, about the wars he'd fought in the past.
"Something about a doctor and some freaks. Anyway, they ask for us to be there, so we should go." Skyler explains, the authority in her voice audible. Skyler looks at the members of the Order and her classmates. "I think I'll see you all soon, maybe I stop by before I teleport to Hogwarts."
"Teleport to Hogwarts?" Tonks blurts out confused. Skyler shrugs lightly.
"Yeah, I'm going there the day class start. I'm not even sure if I'll sleep in the castle... London is more comfortable and besides, the Slytherins aren't exactly pleased with me." She says, before looking at Thor again.
"I trust that Loki gives you a "ride" but hurry up. I'm going to deal the business until you're there." Skyler tells her father strictly, before disappearing into thin air.
"I must apologise for my daughter's behaviour. Ever since she almost died, Skyler has been quite punctual." Thor says, as he resumes to babble with the wizards.
