A/N: I made some minor changes to the story nothing major. I had to add some time codes to help the story flow the way I need it too. In the U.S. High School baseball season starts late March with games being played end or March early April.

A/N 2: Dark Raven is not Severus Snape. The man loves it when others get put down especially Dumbledore. Now Dark Raven was in Chapter 4 and kind of in 5. Remember appearances can be deceiving. Now on with the Show.

Unwanted Decision

New York City, USA late March

"Hello Amelia," Harry said with a slight smile. "I expected someone from England months ago,"

"I know Harry, I tried to hold them off till the school year was over, but Albus miraculously found your parents will." She was a little upset that Dumbledore talked Sirius Black into forcing Harry to Hogwarts before the school year was over. "Sirius is inside talking to Tony Stark."

"We all knew this day was coming when they announced he was innocent," Harry said running a hand through his hair. "Maybe he'll understand and let me finish the school year." He added hopefully. He knew he would have to attend the School but he was hoping to finish this year with his friends. Amelia put her arm around the young boy's shoulder and led him into the house. Standing in the foyer having a heated conversation with Tony was the man Harry knew from pictures was Black. The man had long dark hair to his shoulders, gray eyes. Harry thought he looked like a nice man. The two men broke off their conversation when the boy approached.

"Harry, I haven't seen you since I made that huge mistake 12 years ago. We all thought you would look like, Jimmy but you look more like your mother." He said getting a good look at the young boy. Harry was about 5'6, which was a respectable height for a thirteen-year-old boy. He had messy black hair with a tinge of auburn like his mother. He had his trademark emerald eyes and no scar in sight. He looked like a normal boy.

"Nice to meet you Mr. Black," Harry said in what he hoped was an even tone.

"None of that Mister Black stuff. Call me Sirius or Padfoot. Mr. Black makes me feel old, and I'm not that old." He received a nod from the boy. He dreamed of this meeting for years. He imagined see the boy and saying who he was, then seeing Harry's huge grin. He would sweep him up into a hug and they would be a happy family. Looking at the boy now he knew he might have some work to do. He was all for letting him finishing the school year in the States. Hell he had no problem with the young boy wanting to stay and finish school period. "I know you have a lot of questions about how this is going to work so how about we go somewhere private and get to know each other. Harry agreed nodding goodbye to Tony and Amelia.

They entered an unused classroom that Harry usually had his classes with Scott in. The two stared at each other neither knowing what to say. Harry decided to go first. "I expected you to come months ago," he stated.

"Yeah well I wanted to get a house set up for you. I didn't think you would want to live in my parents' old house. There are lost of dark things there," he said with a shudder while running his hand through his hair. "I wanted to come after Christmas but I felt the house needed to be complete before getting you. I think you'll like it. It's got a huge lake on the property.

"Why now, why not in a couple months when schools out?" the boy asked.

"I thought you might like a jump to get to know your new classmates, new school."

"I really don't. I rather finish the school year with my friends before I am banished to England."

"I think you'll benefit from the early start, Harry. It'll be good for you."

"I think it will be good for me to stay here with my friends and family," Harry added not noticing Sirius wincing at the family comment.

"Harry your parents wanted you to go to Hogwarts like they did."

"I never knew my parents so I wouldn't know."

"They would want what was best for you."

"Who decides what is best for me?"

"I do, I'm your guardian assigned by your parents," Sirius said getting a little heated.

"Then where were you when I was being beaten by the Dursleys," he spat the name out with distain.

"I went after the man who betrayed your parents, but the rat got the better of me." He said disgusted. "I realized I had been set up when he started yelling about how I betrayed your parents. I'm sorry you had to grow up with Petunia."

"I wouldn't say it was all bad. I got to meet Logan. Without his help I don't know where I would be."

"I'm glad you had someone to help support you. I only wished I could have been that person," he added wishfully. "I want to be apart of your life now. I want you to be happy."

"I'm happy here."

"I know you are but I think you need to go to Hogwarts. It's the best place to develop your magic."

"What about my other powers?"

"What other powers?" asked a confused Sirius. Dumbledore didn't tell him about other powers.

"My mutant powers."

"What are mutants?" the older man asked.

"The old man didn't tell you did he?" said the boy. "Mutants are people who have mutations within their genes that allow them to access certain powers."

"What kinds of powers?"

"Well Logan has a healing factor and can heal from any injury. Scott shoots optical blast from his eyes, Jean can read minds and move things with her mind and Storm can control the weather. I have super speed, optical blast, telekinesis, and the healing factor."

"Wow that's amazing."

"Yeah it's pretty cool. They think I may have one or two more gifts that are locked for now"

"Any idea what they are?" asked the shocked man. He couldn't believe how powerful in godson had become. He was sad that he wasn't around while he was developing his gifts.

"We think it has something to do with talking to animals and the elements," said the young teen.

"Well those could be useful."

"Yeah I can't wait till I can talk to animals," said an excited Harry.

"Well I think it's time for us to take our leave."

"Wait, why can't I stay here a finish the school year, I mean we are done at the end of May?"

"Yeah, but that means you can have three months getting to know the lay of the land at Hogwarts."

"I am a founders heir, I know a bit of the 'lay of the land'."

"Yes well you can put the knowledge to early use."

"So what I want doesn't matter."

"In this instance no it doesn't. So lets get your things and go."

"Why do you want me there so soon. I mean most schools don't accept students in the last term. So why is the exception being made for me?" asked the young man fighting down his anger. He had a feeling the Headmaster was behind this.

"I just think it's good to get a jump on things." Sirius said getting nervous.

"You think its best or is it the Headmaster making the decision?"

"A little of both. He made me take an oath that he would give me a trial if I swore to bring you to Hogwarts," the man said ashamed.

"What happens if you fail?"

"I lose my magic and die."

Harry closed his eyes. He didn't want to be under the care of someone that was under the Headmaster's thumb. He also didn't want to be responsible for another mans death. "When do we leave?" he asked dejected.

"As soon as we get you packed."

"I need to say bye to my friends."

"Show me your room and I'll pack your things while you say goodbye."

Harry met up with Amelia and showed them his room and went to find his friends. After searching for some time he found Tony who said they were gathered in the danger room doing a simulation. He watched them for a minute and them ended the simulation. All his friends looked around trying to figure out why it stopped. Logan noticed him first and made his way out the room followed by the others.

"You leaving us bub?" asked Logan.

"Yeah Sirius got tricked into an oath by the old man. He said he would die if I don't go."

"I'm sorry Harry I thought we would have more time to get you ready," said Scott pulling the young man into a hug.

"Yeah kid, I was gonna pound ya into the ground this summer," laughed Logan.

"I wish I was staying."

"We know Harry but don't worry we won't be far if you need us," said Jean ruffling Harry's already messy hair.

"Yes we won't be far Harry," said Professor Xavier entering the room with Sirius and Amelia. "I'm starting up a team of mutants called Excalibur in England. They will aid you should the need arise."

"Don't forget about me sport," said Tony. "I will be in and out of England so we will continue to work on your portfolio and training." Harry embraced the man he thought of as a mentor. He didn't want to leave his family but he knew he would see them again soon. Knowing them the way he did some of them would become members of the new team or at least train them. He said his goodbyes with a promise that one of them would inform Adam and LeBron that he was not returning to school. He felt like he was letting his team down but he no longer had a choice. He was leaving America for a new life. Sometimes he hated being him. He grabbed a hold of the portkey that would be taking them to England and with a last wave goodbye Harry was gone.
