I apologize in advance if Gabriel appears to be out of character but I promise to try as hard as I can to keep him in character.

Harry shivered under his ratty blanket within his cupboard under the stairs, his stomach growling at him demanding for food. He had been forced into his cupboard without supper because he had accidently turned his teacher's hair green when he had yelled at him, it certainly didn't help that today was his birthday, not that the Dursleys cared. Harry whimpered as his stomach growled once more and did something he had never done before. He prayed. He prayed that someone would help him. He prayed that someone would take him away from the Dursleys. He prayed that for once in his life someone would care.

A great distance away in Southern California a certain trickster felt an itch in the back of his mind. Gabriel frowned taking his eyes off his current prey a twenty-year-old man who had knocked up a sixteen-year-old and listened to the voice in his head. Prayers were a common thing however they were usually sent to foot soldiers and were usually deemed 'to unworthy of an archangel.' Which was why this particular prayer caught his attention. Being the curious and good looking individual he was he decided to investigate.

Gabriel almost gagged at the normality of the room he had appeared in. Gabriel scanned his surroundings searching for the person responsible when his eyes lingered on a small cupboard under the stairs. Gabriel's blood boiled. 'You have got to be kidding me' he thought angrily as he marched to the cupboard. There wasn't much that could get Gabriel angry but harming children was certainly one of them. Maybe it was the trickster in him but whenever he saw a child being harmed by an adult he tended to lash out at the latter. Gabriel stopped in front of the cupboard almost growling at the lock that had been placed on it. Gabriel snapped his fingers breaking the lock before cooling his expression. No use scaring the kid more than they probably already were. Gabriel forced a smile on his face before opening the cupboard door.

Harry jumped at the sudden opening of his cupboard and squinted at the blurry figure in front of him his hand fondling for his glasses. When he finally found them he put them on and raised his gaze at the stranger once more. The stranger in front of him was of average height, however, seemed much bigger than he actually was. "Well howdy there kiddo!" the man said grinning "what's your name?" Harry stared nervously at the stranger in front of him. He knew he should have felt more cautious towards a stranger who had randomly appeared in his Aunt and Uncle's living room but he felt safe around him for some reason. "uh H-harry," he stuttered out "um who are you?"

The man grinned wickedly "well Harry," he said before sticking his arms out dramatically "I'm your fairy godmother!" Harry frowned "you're my what?" he asked. The man's grin faltered slightly "your fairy godmother," he said again "you know from the movie," he explained seeing the confusion growing on Harry's face "you ever seen Cinderella?" When he saw Harry shake his head he groaned "oh man! I was really looking forward to that joke too! its fine, wasn't that much of a Cinderella fan anyway I preferred Pocahontas, I mean have you seen her outfit?" the man whistled "Wowza!"

"Anyway Harry," The man said getting back on topic "care to explain to me why you were in that cupboard?" Harry fidgeted "well I kind of accidently turned my teacher's hair green," he admitted sheepishly. Instead of yelling at him or scolding him like most adults would have done the man burst out laughing "oh that is just-" he said between laughs "and you didn't even mean to?" at Harry's nod he burst into another fit of giggles which caused Harry to let out a small laugh as well. The two of them kept laughing until Harry's stomach let out a loud growl causing the man to stop laughing immediately.

Gabriel scanned Harry finally noticing how malnourished Harry looked "You hungry Harry?" at the boy's nod he snapped his fingers filling the room with dozens of cakes and chocolates causing Harry's jaw to drop. Gabriel would have laughed at his expression if it wasn't for the hopeful glances the boy gave to the food. "How did you do that?" Harry asked gaping at him. Gabriel smiled smugly "what you thought you were the only special one?" he said before proceeding to fill his mouth with chocolate. Upon glancing at Harry's timid form he said "come on Harry dig in already!"

Harry shot one more nervous look at the man before proceeding to take a small piece of one of the cakes. the man bounded over frowning. Harry froze thinking he was going to be scolded and that this was all a trick. Instead, the man grabbed his plate and proceeded to push the whole cake on his plate. "Come on kid live a little," the man said smiling at him "have as much as you want!" Harry smiled at the man before proceeding to have a bite of the cake almost moaning at the taste.

After Harry had his fill he turned to the man once more who was munching on a candy bar "are you like me?" he asked causing the man to look at him. The man tilted his head at him "like you how?" Harry fidgeted "a freak?" Harry jumped at the sound of a glass shattering and turned to the man who had an almost murderous expression on his face "Who called you that?" the man said almost too calmly. Harry gulped "uh my Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon and sometimes my cousin Dudley," the man snorted at his uncle and cousins name before becoming serious again "Harry," the man said in an even tone "can you tell me everything your family has done to you?"

Harry proceeded to tell Gabriel everything that happened to him. The strange occurrences, the punishments and all the chores he had to do. The more Gabriel heard the more his blood boiled. The trickster within him demanding the Dursley's blood. Gabriel bent down and placed his hands on the kid's shoulders eyes narrowing when he noticed Harry flinched. Oh, those Dursley's were in for it now. "Hey Harry," Gabriel said staring into Harry's eyes "how would you like it if your aunt, uncle, and cousin disappeared?" a wistful expression appeared on his face "no more Dursleys?" Gabriel grinned deviously at him "no more Dursleys." Harry's expression remained wistful but there was a small gleam of hope "would that mean I would get to live with you?"

Gabriel frowned slightly "don't you have any other family?" Harry shook his head "just another aunt but she's just as bad." Gabriel nodded a thoughtful expression on his face. He could feel Harry's potential for a trickster and although he would never be as powerful him being an archangel and all but he would make great company. There was only so much company illusion could give. Gabriel smiled at Harry "then I suppose you can come with me," he said causing a breathtaking smile to appear on Harry's face.

"What's your name?" Harry asked smiling at him. "Loki," Gabriel lied "my friends call me Loki," Harry's smile faltered as if sensing the lie but didn't question it. Gabriel snapped his fingers taking Harry back to his lush apartment causing Harry to gape again. Gabriel chuckled if Harry was going to react like this every time he did something like this than his presence would definitely be amusing. "Now than Harry you wait here, I've got something I gotta do first," Harry frowned "where are you going?" he asked. Gabriel chuckled a devious glint in his eyes "I'm going to make the Dursleys disappear."

Any ideas on what you want Gabriel to do to the Dursleys? If so please tell me when you review if not then I will just do my own thing. Also what house do you want Harry to be in with Gabriel's influence? or do you want him to go to Hogwarts at all? please let me know and give me ideas on how to keep Gabriel in character.
