Here's a shorter chapter. I've introduced the rest of the main characters who will be joining Clint at Hogwarts. Next chapter is the train ride and Sorting! AH I'm so excited!

Real quickly, I wanted to respond to a review. Unfortunately it came in as a guest review so I'm not able to personally respond. I just want to thank you so much for your review. Reviews like yours is the reason I continue to write. I am very excited about this story and I'm glad to see that you are as well. I do actually have a plan for Bruce. You'll just have to wait and find out! P.S. You speak english very well. :)

Onward!


Thor Odinson knew he was in big trouble. His parents had entrusted him with looking after his brother while they were in a meeting and what does he do? He loses him.

"Loki!" He called out as he maneuvered through the busy streets of Diagon Alley. Suddenly, he ran into another body and they went crashing to the ground.

"I beg your pardon!" Thor said as he helped the boy up. "I was being careless."

The sandy haired boy rubbed his elbow. "I'm okay. No harm, no foul."

"Mr. Odinson, why are you running through the streets?" Thor looked up and saw his Charms Professor looking down at him.

"Good day, Professor Coulson." Thor said sheepishly. "I'm looking for my brother Loki. He's run off."

"Where are your parents?"

"They had a meeting at Gringotts." Thor told him. "Loki and I were to shop for school and then I lost him."

"Well, maybe we can help you look for him." Coulson said. "Mr. Odinson, this is Clint Barton and Bruce Banner. Mr. Barton will be a first year and Mr. Banner will be joining us at school next year."

Thor stuck out his hand. "Pleased to meet you. My name is Thor. I'm in Gryffindor house."

The boys shook his hand but looked confused. Thor wasn't sure what he had said wrong.

"Gryffindor is one of the four houses at Hogwarts along with Hufflepuff, Slytherin, and Ravenclaw." Coulson told him. Thor realized that they didn't know anything about Hogwarts. "I will explain more later but for now, let's find his brother. Any idea where he would've gone?"

Thor shook his head sadly. "We were in Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. I turned back around and he was gone."

"I'm sure he hasn't gone far. Tell you what, why don't you and Mr. Barton go look in Flourish and Botts and Mr. Banner and I will go look in the Apothecary?" Coulson suggested. Thor nodded his head and he and Clint headed towards the book store.

"How old are you?" Clint asked him.

"I'm twelve. I'll be in my second year. My brother will be a first year like you." Thor told him as they walked through the aisles.

Clint kept turning his head to look at all of the books. He wasn't much of a reader but they looked intriguing nonetheless. He recognized some of the names from his list.

Suddenly, he heard Thor shout. "Loki!"

Sitting in an armchair at the back of the bookstore was a boy with black hair and pale skin. He looked up from the book he was reading when he heard his name and rolled his eyes when he saw who it was.

The book clattered to the floor when Thor hugged his brother. Loki struggled out of his grasp to pick up his book.

"What do you want, Thor?"

"Brother, Mother and Father told us to stay together so we can buy supplies for school. Why did you run off?" Thor asked.

"That store is barbaric. I wanted to read." Loki shrugged. He looked at Clint. "Who are you?"

"Clint Barton. I'm starting Hogwarts this year." Clint held out his hand. Loki hesitated before taking it.

"Loki Odinson," He introduced. "I'll be starting Hogwarts this year too."

"How long have the two of you known about magic?" Clint asked as they left the store to find Coulson.

"Our entire lives," Thor said as if the answer was obvious. "Our parents are the Duke and Duchess of Asgard. That's in Norway. We are pureblood."

"Oh. Professor Coulson said that I was a… a muggleborn I think." Clint furrowed his brow. "Neither of my parents were magical. I didn't even know I was a wizard until a week ago."

"I can't imagine not being able to do magic." Thor said. "Why are you with Professor Coulson instead of your parents?"

"My parents died three years ago. Professor Coulson is taking me to get my supplies." Loki shot Thor a look and he had the decency to look shamefaced.

"I'm sorry about my brother. He can be quite daft sometimes." Loki apologized.

Clint shrugged his shoulders. "It's alright. We should probably go find Professor Coulson now."

The two brothers followed Clint out of the store. Coulson had just left the apothecary with Bruce.

"Ah, I see you have found Mr. Odinson. Loki, how are you?"

"I'm fine, thanks, Professor Coulson." Loki answered respectfully.

"He was reading a book." Thor told Coulson. "I should've known that's where he'd be. Thank you for helping me look."

"It was no problem, Thor." Coulson turned to Loki. "Stay with your brother. He was very worried about you."

Loki hung his head, embarrassed. "Yes sir."

"You boys are welcome to shop with us." Coulson invited.

"Thank you, Professor." Thor said, accepting.

It took them an hour to get everything they needed. They were headed to the bank to meet Thor and Loki's parents when Clint was distracted by a window showcase.

"Woah." He stopped in his tracks. In the window was sleek black broom. "We can actually fly on broomsticks?"

Coulson smiled. "Yes we can. This is a special model for Quidditch players."

"Quidditch?" Bruce asked, joining Clint.

"It's only the best sport!" Thor boomed. "The Karasjok Kites are going to take it to the World Cup this year!"

"Quidditch is the official sport of the magical world." Coulson explained. "Think of it as a mix between football and basketball, but in the air."

"That sounds dangerous." Bruce said.

Clint's eyes grew wide. "That sounds awesome. Can I get a broom?"

"Unfortunately, first years are not allowed to have brooms." Coulson told him. Clint's face fell. "But you will learn to fly this year and there are brooms at school that you could borrow."

Clint nodded enthusiastically and reluctantly moved on with the others.

The Duke and Duchess of Asgard were waiting patiently outside of the bank.

The Duke shook Coulson's hand. "Professor Coulson, pleasure to see you again. Thank you for helping our boys with their shopping."

"It was my pleasure, Lord Odin." Coulson said. "I was showing these two new students around and had no problem with helping your boys as well. They are very well behaved."

"Boys, have you gotten all of your supplies?" Lady Friga asked.

"Yes mother." The brothers said in unison.

"Say thank you to your Professor. We must be going."

Thor and Loki both thanked the professor and said goodbye to Bruce and Clint.

"It was a pleasure meeting you both. I look forward to attending school with you." Thor bowed. Clint and Bruce looked uncomfortable. Loki discreetly bumped Thor and he almost went tumbling.

"I'll see you at school." Loki said, masking his laughter. The boys waved as they walked away with their parents.

"I see you made new friends today." Friga said.

"We did, mother." Thor said. "Neither of them knew they were wizards until a week ago!"

"Unfortunately that happens quite often." Friga explained kindly. "Many children now are muggleborn and they don't know about their heritage until they are to leave for school."

"The both reside in an orphanage." Loki said quietly.

"That is terribly sad. Perhaps we can invite them over for a few weeks during the summer."

"Oh we would very much enjoy that!" Thor said.

They had reached the apparation spot. Thor grabbed his father's hand and Loki, his mother's before both parents apparated back to their home.

It was a large mansion, with extensive grounds on the shore of Norway.

Thor and Loki were sent off to their rooms to wash up for dinner.

"I'm so happy you will be joining me at school this year, brother." Thor told him sincerely.

"It was quite nice around here, alone." Loki said with a small smile. "Quieter."

Thor meant to elbow him playfully but Loki dashed out of the way. Thor chased after his brother, laughing. Loki ran into his room and stuck his tongue at his older brother before closing the door in his face.

"I'll get you later, Loki. Mark my words!" He said through the door.

Loki placed his packages by his desk. He reached into his robe and pulled out the book he had been reading when Thor had found him. He had slipped it into his pocket as they left the shop without anyone noticing. He knew that his parents had plenty of money to buy the book but sometimes he needed the thrill of taking something that doesn't belong to him. He didn't know what was wrong him. With a sigh, he placed the book on his bed side table and headed to the bathroom to wash up.


"Uncle Ivan, please!"

"No, Natalia. You will be going to Durmstrang and that is my final decision."

Natalia Romanova grabbed her uncle's hand. "Uncle Ivan, both of my parents attended Hogwarts. I would like to continue in their footsteps. Please, Uncle."

Ivan looked at his niece's pleading green eyes. He had raised her since she was four after her parents perished in a house fire. He desperately wanted her to be as close to Russia as she could and Scotland was much too far away for his taste. He had enemies and if they ever found out about Natalia, he wouldn't be able to live with himself.

Yet he knew how important Hogwarts was to her. She constantly wanted to know more about her parents.

And he just couldn't say no to her.

He sighed heavily. "Natalia, you know my line of business and you know it won't be safe for you to be quite so far."

"I know the risks, Uncle Ivan. But I'll be at school, protected!" Natalia reasoned.

"Natalia, I will allow you to go to Hogwarts..." She gasped. "…on the condition that you go by a different name while there. I do not want anyone to know that you are connected with the Romanova line."

She nodded her head enthusiastically. He knew she really wasn't listening to him. "Natalia, I am going against my better judgment here. Please do not make me regret this."

She leapt into her uncle's arms. "I won't! Thank you so much, Uncle Ivan!" She kissed his cheek.

"I will contact Hogwarts in the morning and let them know that Natasha Romanoff will be attending this year." Ivan picked his paper back up. "Now, if you would please allow me to finish."

Natalia ran off to her room in the manor. She couldn't believe he had said yes. She picked up the picture of her parents that she had at her bedside table.

Hogwarts: she could hardly believe it. She'd be able to walk the halls that her parents once did. Maybe she could even learn more about them!

With a blissful sigh, she collapsed on her bed and held the frame to her chest. She was going to Hogwarts.


Steve Rodgers was in his home gym lifting weights when his mother came in.

"Steven, James is here to see you." She told him. Steve dropped his weights as his best friend walked into the room.

"I don't think I'll ever get used to the sight of you working out." James said with a laugh.

"Ease off, Bucky." Steve used his nickname. "I'm trying to make the… football team this year."

Bucky shook his head. "Who would've thought that you going away to boarding school made you want to bulk up and play in sports."

"I can't be a scrawny guy forever, Bucky."

"You're twelve, Steve."

"Did you come here to make fun of me or are we going to hang out on my last week?" Steve asked him. Bucky looped an arm around his shoulder.

"Why couldn't you just go to normal school with the rest of us?" He asked as they walked to Steve's room.

"I told you. It's a family tradition. I have to go until I'm seventeen." Steve sat down on his bed. "I'll be back for Christmas break. Just like last year."

Bucky sprawled out on the floor. "It's not the same though. You're probably making new best friends too."

Steve thought back to his friend Thor. They were both in Gryffindor house and had spent all last year together.

"You are my best friend, Bucky." Steve told him. "Any other friends I make come second to you."

Bucky sighed dramatically. "I hate you." Steve rolled his eyes.

"Boys, come get some lunch!" Steve's mother called up the stairs.

They stared at each other for a second before they jumped up and sprinted for the stairs.


Short chapter I know but I just needed to introduce them. In case it wasn't too clear, both Steve and thor will be starting their second year while Clint, Natasha and Loki will be first years.

Sorting next. :) Try and guess which house each will be in! I may actually be a bit predictable but we'll see.

Review please!
