Nikita stood in his Hogwarts robes on Platform 9 3/4. His mom, dad and two favorite uncles were with him.

"Okay, you've got your trunk?" Steve asked, "It's shrunk down, right?"

"Right." Nikita smirked, and patted his pocket. "Don't worry, Uncle Steve, I still have it."

Steve chuckled and hugged the boy. He put a cap on the boy's head that was black and had the Avenger's A on it. Nikita beamed and fixed his ponytail through the back. He was wearing his head in it's natural red today and it was below his shoulder blades.

"It's great thanks, uncle."

Clint put a silver chain around Nikita's left wrist. It had a bow and quiver on it along with twin guns. He'd had it made while they were in Russia and he knew his son would know what to do with them.

"Cool, thanks Papa!" Nikita studied them.

Natasha hugged her son.

"You still have your money pouch?"

"Da, Mama." Nikita nodded, "I have to go soon."

He noted people were watching. She gave him a tablet.

"Be on your best behavior."

"Okay, Champ!" Tony boomed, loudly. "As promised ." He handed over a bag to his Godson. "Everything we discussed is in here I expect news when you get sorted!"

"Okay, Uncle Tony." Nikita rolled his eyes. The bag was another Avenger's piece. "I'll see you all at Christmas!"

He ran toward the train.

"Bye!"


He was sitting in a cabin alone reading a book from his tablet almost ten minuets into the ride when the door opened and boy with black hair and green eyes came in with a red head.

"Hey, who are you?" The boy demanded. "You're in our car."

"I do not see your name on it." Nikita said, in a Russian accent. He could speak tons of languages from all over the world. "Who are you anyway?" A blond with two goons, a girl with bushy brown hair and a boy who looked painfully pathetic had walked in as well. "Well, talk."

"You don't know who I am?!" the black haired boy cried in shock , "Where have you lived under a rock?"

"Nyet." Nikita said, " I live all over the world. We travel a lot my family and I."

"I'm Jamie Potter." The boy stated pompously. "The Boy-Who-Lived."

"I'm Ronald Weasley. " The red haired boy said.

"I'm Draco Malfoy." The blond said, "This is Crabbe and Goyle. "

"I'm Hermione Granger and he's Neville Longbottom." The girl said, " And how is that Tablet working here? I read that technology can't work in the Magical world!"

"You obviously have never met my uncle Tony." Nikita stated, not looking up from his reading. " He's a prodigy with technology."

"What is your name?" Draco drawled.

"I am Nikita Nikolai Romanov." Nikita replied.

"Isn't Nikita a girl's name?" Jamie sneered.

"It's a unisex name just like Nikki. " Nikita was getting annoyed, "You may all leave now. I wish to ride alone. " He popped his wand out of his sheath and blasted them out of the room with blasts of air. He then sealed the door. "annoying people."

His watch began beeping. He pressed a button.

"Rage here."

"Fury here." Came his parents boss' voice. " Just calling to let you know the tracking is still working."

"Thanks, Fury." he replied back, rolling his eyes of course they were tracking him. "Rage out."

"Fury out."


It was dark when they arrived and Nikita made his way off the train and followed the other first years to the boats. He had a high tech camera around his neck charmed so the pictures could be Muggle or magical and high tech so that he could send them to his Uncle's and parents. He took pictures of Hogwarts as they made their way toward it.

He put it back in his Avenger's back pack when they arrived at the Castle doors. He put on his blank face as a stern teacher greeted them and took them to a room to wait.

"Take off that hat." she said Nikita." It is not part of the uniform."

Nikita gave her dead eyes that soon had her backing out of the room. He noted that some of the students were looking at him with respect. He ignored them and the Granger girl inane mumbling.

"My brother said we had to wrestle a troll." The Weasley said.

"Would that not be way too hard for a first year?" He finally said so everyone would hear him. "Most of us do not know magic so how would any of us be able to beat a troll? Your brother was lying to you and that was rather obvious if you ask me."

Weasley looked angry as hell. Before he could say anything the stern teacher McGonagall came back and showed them into the Great Hall.

Ron was soon mumbling about how his brother was a dick. As the hat sang a song.

"When I call your name come sit on the bench and put the hat on." McGonagall said.

She then began reading names.

Nikita was bored but recording the whole thing from the ruby in his right ear. The ruby in his left recorded sound. They would transmit together back to his Uncle Tony.

Granger went to Gryffindor. Malfoy went to Slytherin. Longbottom went to Gryffindor followed by the Potter boy.

"Romanov, Nikita!"

Nikita walked up and pulled his cap off he tucked it into his robes and sat down. Now everyone could see his flaming red hair. The hat quickly covered his head.

"SLYTHERIN!"

The Sorting Hat vanished. Nikita stood, put his hat back on and headed toward the clapping table.


From here he could see the Staff table better. He could see all the teachers now. He studied all of them closely. He noted the red haired woman was looking at him as was the Headmaster. He tipped the bill of his hat to them as Weasley was sorted into Gryffindor and Zabini into Slytherin. Food filled the plates. He subtly cast detecting charms on everything he put on his plate. He then began eating.

Finally, they were off to the Common Rooms. He was lead into the dungeons and into a Common Room done in Green and Silver. His head of House came in a few moments later and said his peace.

"Mr. Romanov , the Headmaster would like to speak with you. " Severus Snape said, " Follow me."

"I would like my mama and papa to be present." Nikita said, "According to the school by laws students are allowed to have their parents, or Head of House present when being questioned by the Headmaster. I will not go to see him until my Mama and Papa are here. I shall inform them right now." He pulled out his cell phone new made by Tony and hit a button a 3-D image of Clint appeared . "Papa?"

"So how'd sorting go?" Clint asked.

"I'm in Slytherin." Nikita replied, "The Headmaster wants a word with me so if you and Mama can come to Hogsmede via the portkey. I would like you and Mama to be here."

"Of course,сын. " Clint said, "I can't wait to see this Castle everyone goes on about. We will be there soon. Give us at least twenty minuets. "

"Da, Papa." Nikita hung up seeing all shocked looks he was getting. "Will you, please send someone to escort Mama and Papa? Mama did not go here when she was younger. We are after all Russian. Well, I'm actually Russian/American but the point is neither of my parents came to Hogwarts so they wouldn't know how to get up here."

"Of course." Severus replied, smirking. The boy was smart. "I will come back for you when your parents are here."
