Chapter 1:
Harry POV:
When the light disappeared and I could see again I was lying in a field mere meters away from Ginny and Teddy. I started to make my way towards them when I was stopped by a figure in a dark clock, it was Death again.
"Why?" I asked so shocked that Death would do this for what was left of my family.
"You saved my kingdom from being destroyed, I will be forever in your debt. I convinced Magic to give you and your family another chance at happiness. Fortunately Magic has been watching you closely for the last decade or so and has grown quite fond of you. Magic has granted you and your family eternal Youth and I have granted you and your family immortality. The Universe however has a problem with the whole jumping universe thing, he decides when and where you travel, we know not how many jumps he will give you just keep your family close" And with that Death vanished and I was able to reach Ginny and Teddy. Ginny looked 25 again and Teddy however stayed the same, I have a feeling he will never age more than 25 or so. I also had a feeling that I looked as I had during the middle of the war, tall (6ft 4) and muscular but not too muscular. My hair was long, pulled back into a ponytail, my glasses long gone. Ginny was stunning as she always has been. Her hair is long, longer than it has been in years about down to her mid backed I am guessing correctly, she was lean and tall (5ft 8)
"Harry?" she moaned sitting up slowly
"You alright?" I replied she shook her head as if to get rid of stars
"I'll be fine where is Teddy?" she asked starting to panic, she really was attached to little Teddy and a proper Mother to him.
"Right here Mum" Teddy groaned from the ground and Ginny rushed over and started to fuss over him.
"What happened Harry? I remember finding Teddy and crying for the lost and then alight but that's it" Ginny said after she was sure that Teddy was not hurt
"Death and Magic have given us another chance at life, The Universe wrecked most of their gift. We will travel from world to world for as long as Universe deems it fit. Magic and Death did however manage to give us all the gift of Immortality and eternal youth. We will never age past 30 and at every new world we visit we age back to how we are now" I explained and Ginny nodded then froze
"Why of any children we have?" Ginny whispered. We both desperately wanted children and we decided to wait till after the war was won. What now?
"I have no idea, we shall just have to wait and see. Although I fear that Universe will not make it easy for us" I pulled Ginny into a firm embrace dragging Teddy with her.
"So what now?" Teddy asked, he was far too mature for a 14 year old.
"We start our lives again here, figure out what is different here compared to back home and start living" I replied "we need to start living one day at a time"
The next few weeks were the hardest, we figured out that this world wizarding world was underground and had been since the witch trials. The rest of the world was strange to say the least, they had car that flew and were not enchanted, people flew all over the place without a broom. We soon found that this world was heavily centered around technology as the magical community was not present to interfere with the tech. Just 3 months into our stay there we were ripped away to another world. A world broken with War, technology was non-existent and the muggles were fighting the magical community. In this war torn world we just lay low not sure what side to fight for, we only spent a week here before we were whisked away to yet another world full of alien creatures, this was the most bizarre world yet and here humans were enslaved, my family and I were trapped here for almost a decade. We only survived by hiding deep in the forests living off the land and fighting back where we could. Our lives went on in this fashion for almost a century before we came to a cold barren wasteland. It was here that we met the frost giants and Asgardians. The frost Giants tried to kill us and the Asgardians saved our lives. We discovered that this universe held the key to many different worlds all connected together through a single gate way. It was in this world that we met Universe, he guarded the gate between the worlds and served Odin. During the time that we lived in Asguard we became friends with Universe and discovered that we would only stop jumping when we have found our true place in the world. When we were in the Bi frost (Not sure if that is what it is called) a frost giant cornered us and it was Odin himself who saved all our lives by killing the creature and he became a dear friend of ours.
It was in Asguard that Ginny and I had our first child, a little girl we named Hermione Luna Potter in memory of our two greatest friends. We named Odin and his wife Godfather and Godmother respectively and they in turn named us the Godparents of their first son a boy they named Thor, Thor and Hermione became fast friends. The following year to Hermione and Thor being born Odin brought back a child, no one asked any questions about him. Odin and his wife adopted him and named him Loki. Loki was a quiet but mischievous child. 4 years later a frost giant entered the kingdom of Asguard and stole Hermione away sending her to some far off world with no memory of who she was. We searched and searched for little Hermione but we never could find her. We had stayed in Asguard for almost 50 years before we yet again were swept away to a faraway world. It had been 10 years since 5 year old Hermione was kidnapped. We searched every world we came to for Hermione but to no avail we could only hope that she would be ok when we found her. As soon as Thor was old enough to go out and fight he too came with us to search. Loki was always the quiet and calculating one, he reminded me so much of how a younger Sirius would act. Death came to us as we were about to give up and told us to not despair that Hermione was safe. She was sent to a world without magic as we knew it, to Midguard.
Death told us that Hermione was adopted by a kind and loving family who would raise her as their own no matter what happens. Death explained how Hermione would never know who she was, it was then that Ginny, Teddy and I accepted that Hermione Luna Potter was gone and in her place was Jane Grace Foster. We would never stop searching for her but we accepted that our baby girl was gone.
It has been 25 years since that day, since Hermione was kidnapped and we have found ourselves in many different worlds. In each world we searched and searched for Hermione, we are no longer frantic as we know she is safe but she is our daughter and we would like the chance to get to know her. The past 5 years we have been in a world without normal magic, the wizarding world gone completely having been wiped out decades ago through interbreeding. No, Wizards were no more but in their place stood science, something that Teddy, Ginny and I had become rather good at. Here in this world we began to set up our lives, we started a small shop selling odd little bits and gizmos for helping round or just for entertainment. There was a smart vacuum, basically you press on and it will clean your floors for you without any fuss, carpet, wooden floors, tiles, you name it this Vacuum could clean it to perfection. Our entertainment was Teddy's specialty he would just keep on coming up with simply brilliant designs for all these toys. He had moving talking Teddies (Ironic I know) to Barbie's that would walk, talk and interact with young children providing entertainment for hours. Before long we were well known and despite many large offers we decided to keep our shop small and family based.
We lived quite happily for almost a whole year until…
"Mr. Granger?" A man with an eye patch said as he walked in
"Sorry were closing, we open at 9 tomorrow" I replied not looking up from the piece of machinery I was working on.
"I'm not here about the trinkets" He replied.
"Then what would you like? Did something break and you need it fixed?" I replied just wishing he would leave
"I'm here about your son" I froze and put the machinery down
"What did he do now? TEDDY! GET DOWN HERE NOW!" I yelled up the stairs and Teddy reluctantly came down, he looked about 16.
"Whatever it was I didn't do it!" He exclaimed as he walked into the room
"What happened?" I replied shaking my head, Teddy would be Teddy.
"I have no idea I just didn't do anything" He replied and I had to smirk.
"So you young sir did not hack into the S.H.I.E.L.D. mainframe computer and attempt to track down one Jane Foster?" The man replied and Teddy shrugged after all he had faced worse than a guy missing an eye (That rhymes!)
"Ok that I did do" Teddy sulked
"TEDDY!" I exclaimed, The man looked pleased that Teddy was getting in trouble "What have I said about cracking into secure networks?"
"To no to, without permission" He sulked
"What have I said about hacking into F.B.I, C.I.A, M.I.5, M.16 etc. etc. databases?"
"To no to without good reason. But I had good reason! I could find her! We could find her again!" Teddy said desperately.
"Look Teddy, we will find her but we can't just hack into a secure network and leave behind a trail like that we would just get into trouble-"
"EXCUESME!" the man yelled
"Harry? Who is this?" Ginny asked entering the room
"I have to agree with my wife, who the hell are you?" I replied and I swear he was going purple.
"I'm Director Fury, from S.H.I.E.L.D. and your son was the one who hacked without permission our network. This is illegal in this country! We have discovered they all of your identification papers are false. So I ask Mr. and Mrs. Granger who are you and why are you here?" Director Fury spat venom lacing his words and all courtesy gone.
"That is none of your business sir, if you would kindly leave our home it would be much appreciated" I replied my voice turning to ice. I did not like people who threatened my family.
"Mr. Granger unfortunately for you, you are incorrect the safety of this world is my business-"
"World?" Teddy asked. He may be over 100 year old but he still has NO TACT!
"Pardon?" Fury asked shocked
"What do you know of other worlds?" Teddy repeated looking him right in the eye.
"How do you know about the other worlds?" Fury demanded "those files were not breached, I checked personally"
"That is my family's business" I replied standing protectively in from of Teddy wand ready to be drawn.
"Regardless of what you do or do not know, Mr. Granger your work though small time is unparallel and S.H.I.E.L.D. would like to employ you and the young man who hacked into our systems. Although I would expect great things from that boy. After all loom who raised him ..." Fury trailed off as Ginny and I simply glared at him. Teddy bless his soul just looked curious.
"Were not interested" I said and Fury flinched, can you blame him? I had face down people that would scare Voldemort.
"Then under the jurisdiction of the United States of America I hereby place you under arrest. You will be taken to the S.H.I.E.L.D. facility where you will be interrogated and memory erased" Fury sighed with slight venom in his voice. With than about 40 agents in black suits burst into the room surrounding us.
"Well, that is just plain rude!" Ginny exclaimed and before anyone could react we sprung into action. We worked as a unit taking down agent after agent without magic and without hurting them. Watching each other's backs and kicking ass!
Click
A gun clicked behind my head, although I would not actually die. I would rather not decorate my home with my brain and mentally scar Ginny and Teddy. So slowly I put my hands up, Ginny and Teddy did the same.
"You three are coming back to HQ with me, make a move and I blow your head off. Now there is a car outside all three of you will get into the back of it. You so much as blink in a hostile way and Mr. Granger gets a bullet to the head" Fury said steal in his voice and I had no doubt in my mind that he would pull that trigger.
"And the is the reason why I hate guns Teddy" Ginny whined as we all walked out to the big SUV waiting outside.
"Get in, I have a few questions for you" Fury hissed and we all complied, may as well. We all sat calmly in the back of the car while Fury calmly eyed us down. We sat like that for about 20 minutes before Fury broke the silence. "Who are you?"
"That is an excellent question" I replied "I am Harrison Granger, this is my wife Ginny Granger and our adopted son Teddy Granger. We own a home grown business called Asguard and Beyond, we moved here 5 years ago from Brittan hence the accent"
"What do you want with Jane Foster?" Fury asked, damn it Teddy! Why did you do that now?
"We are family of sorts, you could say. It is our business not anyone else's" Ginny snapped getting all motherly and protective.
"I'm afraid that you are wrong on that count Mrs. Granger" Fury clearly still didn't believe our names "Miss. Foster, is employed by S.H.I.E.L.D. she is a large part of our research team and involved with some people very high up" Damn it what has she gotten in to?
"We would like to meet her" Teddy spoke up with determination in his voice, he knows that she can never know who we really are to her but she can become our friend and we can get to know her. She will never call me Daddy but she will know me, I can live with that.
"That is impossible, there was a recent attack on one of our facilities and one of her associates was taken. We have taken her into hiding till this threat has been neutralized. What do you know of the other worlds?" Well this could get tricky.
"We know little, like I said we moved here 5 years ago from Brittan and lived in Brittan all our lives before that-" Fury cut me off
"I know that is a lie"
"Pardon?" Ginny spluttered our papers were perfect
"Your papers do say that you moved from Brittan 5 years ago but before that time you never did live in Brittan, you simply appeared out of nowhere. Now I am going to ask you again, who are you?" Fury said his voice icy and on the last straw.
"I see we have no choice, My name is Harry Potter, this is my wife Ginevera Potter and my godson and adopted son Teddy Lupin. I can say no more without putting people in danger, and I can truly say that I have had enough war to last several life times."
"What do you know of war? You could be barley 25" Fury demanded
"Looks can be deceiving; I learnt that the hard way" I whispered remembering the final battle, my mistake cost many people's lives.
"Its not your fault, he fooled us all" Ginny comforted me.
"You seem knowledgeable about these things, you and your family can clearly fight how would you feel about joining S.H.I.E.L.D.? We are on the brink of war and could use the extra hands"
"I have see far too much war already and wish to partake in no more" I replied
"Thousands of innocents could die! Loki stole something and has declared war on us" Fury said losing his temper. Loki would never do anything like that, he was such a sweet child. He reminded me so much of Sirius.
"Loki would never do anything like that! He may be a trouble maker but he would never declare war! He is a pacifist" Ginny cried
"How do you know Loki?" Fury said not realizing his slip up
"Is he your problem?" I asked shocked, this man deserves an award it takes a lot to shock me now. Not after all I have been through.
"Yes, so will you reconsider?" Fury asked a smirk of triumph on his face
"He is family, what choice do we have?" Ginny replied looking up and meeting him in a gaze of defiance
