Marvel: I, Hermione, am from Hogwarts!

Hermione opened her mouth as if to say something, but no sound came out.

Loki, however, astutely deduced what she was trying to say from her lip movements.

"Heimdall."

Loki was taken aback, then immediately understood Hermione's meaning and shut his mouth.

Hermione waved her wand and unleashed several spells in quick succession.

"Safeguarding peace and security."

"Protect everything."

"Close your ears and plug your ears."

The three spells combined to form an invisible protective shield that enveloped the two of them.

"Okay, now we can talk."

Hermione looked at Loki, her tone calm.

“It seems you know far more about Asgard than I thought,” Loki said with great interest. “In that case, we should cooperate even more.”

"Cooperation is not out of the question."

Hermione crossed her arms: "Why should I help you?"

“Because we have a common enemy, Thor and Odin.” Loki’s eyes turned cold. “He stole the throne that should have been mine.”

"And you, a powerful wizard, are relegated to living on this backward planet. Don't you feel frustrated?" he tried to provoke.

Hermione remained noncommittal.

“I can help you gain greater power, the status you deserve, and even… immortality!” Loki offered the bait. “As long as you help me ascend the throne, all of these will be yours.”

His tone was seductive.

Dude, do you even have these things yourself? You're just making empty promises to me. Hermione rolled her eyes.

Hermione paused for a moment, seemingly deep in thought.

Loki waited quietly, believing that no one could resist such a temptation.

“I can help you,” Hermione finally said.

A hint of smugness flashed in Loki's eyes.

“But…” Hermione changed the subject, “I don’t want Earth.”

Loki was taken aback: "Then what do you want?"

"I want……"

Hermione spoke slowly, a hint of fanaticism flashing in her eyes.

Loki's smile faded, and he stared at her in disbelief.

……

A few days later, Hermione returned to the town.

She could see from afar that Saul was with Jane Foster, the two chatting and laughing, looking very intimate.

Hermione walked over.

“Hi, Thor,” she greeted.

Thor was surprised to see Hermione: "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you," Hermione smiled. "And also to ask how you've been lately?"

“I’m fine,” Saul said with a smile, putting his arm around Jane’s shoulder. “I’ve met Jane, and she’s a very nice girl.”

Jane blushed slightly, seemingly a little embarrassed, after being told so bluntly.

Seeing the two of them so affectionate, Hermione felt like she'd been fed a lot of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

Jane Foster also recognized Hermione; she remembered that the little girl had appeared with S.H.I.E.L.D.

"And who is this?" she asked, looking at Thor.

“This is my friend, Hermione.”

Thor exemplified the noble virtue of treating everyone as a brother, he explained.

Even though he and Hermione only met once, anyone who is pleasing to the eye can be a friend.

“Hello, I am Jane Foster.” Jane extended her hand.

“Hello.” Hermione shook hands with her. “I am Hermione Granger, a… wizard.”

“A wizard?” Jane Foster was stunned.

Thor explained from the side, "Hermione is a mage from Midgard; she knows magic."

“Wizard! Wizard!” Hermione emphasized.

Jane looked at Hermione with surprise and curiosity in her eyes.

"So...you really know magic?" she couldn't help but ask.

Having spent these past few days together, Jane had begun to believe Saul's words, though she hadn't yet seen it for herself.

Now that a "wizard" friend has appeared, she desperately wants Hermione to demonstrate some magical abilities to prove she hasn't fallen for a madwoman.

Hermione smiled but did not answer.

She looked at Thor and asked, "And you? Are you planning to stay on Earth forever?"

“Is there anything wrong with it?” Thor countered. “Life here is peaceful, and I like it very much.”

“Besides, I have Jane.” He looked at Jane with tender eyes.

Okay, okay, stop spilling it... Hermione shrugged: "If you want to live a mortal life, then there's really nothing wrong with that."

"I'm afraid others won't give you that opportunity."

Thor was taken aback, and was about to ask what this meant.

Just then, a huge pillar of light suddenly appeared in the sky.

A beam of light descended from the sky and landed on an open space outside the town.

"Rumble--"

The ground shook, and dust flew up.

"Rainbow Bridge?!"

Thor looked astonished upon seeing the familiar beam of light.

As the light faded, four figures appeared within the pillar of light.

The leader was a valiant woman, holding a long sword and with sharp eyes.

He was followed by three companions, all dressed in armor and carrying weapons.

“Sif? And Fandral…you…” Thor recognized the four as his comrades-in-arms in Asgard, the Warriors Four.

"Thor!"

Sif's face lit up with surprise when she saw Thor.

"finally found you!"

"Volstagg said loudly."

“Thor, come back with us quickly,” Fandral said. “Asgard needs you.”

"What happened?"

Thor frowned, a bad feeling creeping in.

“Your father is not dead!” Sif said anxiously. “He has simply entered Odin’s slumber!”

"Loki has deceived you! He has stolen the throne, and Asgard is now in his hands!"

“Impossible…” Thor muttered to himself, his eyes filled with shock and confusion. “Loki…why would he do this?”

"This is not the time to talk about this!" Fandral urged. "We must get back as soon as possible and stop Loki!"

"What did Loki do?" Thor pressed, needing to know the truth.

Hogan's expression was grave: "It was he who secretly led the Frost Giants to Asgard, ruining your coronation day, and even tried to..."

Before Hogan could finish speaking, suddenly, an even brighter beam of light descended from the sky and landed not far away.

"boom--"

The earth trembled violently, and a huge metallic figure slowly emerged from the light.

It was tall and imposing, its entire body covered in silver metal armor, with red light shimmering inside its visor, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.
