The Avengers go to Hogwarts! I decided to write a story about my favourite characters because, well because I can. So this is about little eleven year old Avengers (plus other characters like Loki, Pepper, Rhodey, etc.) going to Hogwarts and the first few chapters will set up the characters and their houses and the rest will be basically one-shots of what they get up to in different years and events.
Tony Stark was used to getting attention from wizarding families. After all, his father was Howard Stark, the famous creator of spells and potions and as his son, Tony was already a very powerful wizard although his father never showed any pride in him. Not even when Tony created a make-shift wand and used expelliarmus when he was nine. He simply lectured Jarvis because he let Tony out of his sight then returned to his work. But Tony was thankful when his letter for Hogwarts finally arrived and Rhodey and Pepper got theirs too, at least now he could have a proper wand.
When they arrived in Diagon Alley, Tony asked Jarvis if they could explore by themselves. In the end, Jarvis only agreed to it because Pepper promised to keep the boys in check, she was always the most responsible of the lot, although Tony had a habit of just doing what he wants anyway. First they rushed off to Gringotts and Tony stuffed as much money as he could into his jeans.
"Are we really going to need that much Tony?" Pepper sceptically asked after Tony convinced Rhodey to fill his pockets too.
"Yes, Potts. I want to get the best possible stuff and that just so happens to be the stuff that costs the most," Tony smirked. "Let's go to Ollivanders. I can't wait to get my wand!"
Rhodey and Pepper smiled at each other while they followed Tony as he rushed through Diagon Alley. Tony seemed to be dedicated to getting to the wand shop as fast as he could. In fact, he was so focused on running there that he didn't notice Pepper and Rhodey's warning shouts or the blond boy he was currently crashing into. The boy fell back and Tony fell next to him.
"Tony!" Rhodey ran to Tony and helped him up and Tony held his hand out to the boy on the floor currently rubbing the back of his head. The boy looked at Tony's hand before accepting it and allowing Tony to pull him up.
"Aw, damn I'm real sorry about that." Tony said apologetically as he dusted down the boy's coat and flicked dust off his shoulders.
"No, don't worry about it," The boy smiled. "It was my fault I was just standing in the middle of the pathway like a lost puppy." While Tony, Pepper and Rhodey were making sure the boy was okay, another boy with dark hair exited the shop to the left of them. When he saw three kids surrounding his skinny best friend, he ran over and shoved Tony, who still had a hand on the boy's shoulder, away from him. Tony fell with a painful sounding thud.
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" The dark haired boy snarled at the trio. The blond boy had a look somewhere between shock and horror on his face when Tony was pushed over. He grabbed the other boy's arm.
"Bucky, no! They were being nice- they are nice!" Now it was Bucky's turn to have a look of shock and horror on his face. Rhodey helped Tony up again and Tony glared at Bucky.
"What was that for?" He asked while rolling his shoulder.
"I'm sorry, I thought you were picking on my friend. He didn't exactly have the best time with people in... muggle school. Other kids would pick on him because he's small. I was worried you were doing the same." Rhodey's eyes widened at the mention of muggle school.
"You guys are muggle-born?" He asked excitedly. The boy called Bucky nodded. "That's so cool, I've never met someone from the muggle world before!"
Bucky approached Tony and extended his hand to him. "Hey, no hard feelings?" Tony took his hand and shook it, then that famous smirk returned to his face.
"My name's Tony Stark and this is Pepper Potts and James Rhodes." He pointed to his friends as Bucky and the blond boy shook their hands.
"I prefer Rhodey." Rhodey stated as Bucky shook his hand.
"I'm James Barnes and this is Steve Rogers. I prefer Bucky." He smiled at Rhodey. "So are you guys going to Hogwarts too? Me and Steve could really use some help finding our way around and getting school supplies."
"Yeah we are. You guys can come with us, we can show you around and help you get everything. We were on our way to get our wands when I ran into Steve. Ollivanders is this way!" Tony excitedly started off towards the wand shop again, although much slower than before for fear of running into someone again. Bucky and Rhodey kept up with him while Pepper and Steve took their time. Pepper turned to Steve.
"Are you sure you're okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, I'm alright. Not the first time I've been knocked over." He smiled a sad but reassuring smile.
"Well if you say so. I mean Tony's got a pretty big head, I imagine it'd hurt to be hit by that." Steve laughed as Pepper chuckled. "So is this your first time in Diagon Alley?"
"This is my first time anywhere magic. I didn't know I was magic until a witch came to my house and told me everything."
"Isn't it lucky your friend is a wizard as well? I think it's nice to have someone you know with you when you go to an unknown place."
"Yeah it's really, really lucky. Especially for me." Pepper was about to ask what he meant when she heard Tony's voice calling her.
"Pepper! Pepper, come on! I'm only going to wait for you for like twelve more seconds!" She shared a quick smile with Steve as they hurried their pace to re-join the rest of their friends.
