After getting away from the Weasley caln, Harry lead his family to Flourish & Blotts. "We'll wait out here for you Harry." Natasha told him. "It's a mad house in there."

"Ok." Harry nodded as he opened the door to the shop and walked in. He soon found himself in the middle of all the chaos, but into witches this way and that way.

Finally he was able to find the books he needs for the start of second year.

"Harry Potter!"

"Harry Potter!?"

Harry was grabbed by a photographer from the Daily Prophet, and was pulled toward a man, who wrapped his arm around Harry's shoulders.

"Smile Harry." The man said. "Together we'll make the front page."

And a blinding light from the camera, the other man hurried out of the store.

"Sorry." Harry wiggled out of the man's grip. "Gotta go!" With that he tried his best to get around all the witches.

"Harry!" Hermione's voice had him pausing and he turned around.

"Hermione!" He smiled.

"It's great to see you." Hermione smiled walking up to him with her parents behind her.

"And its great to see you." Harry returned the smile, but it soon faded. "What's with all the comotion in here?"

"It's all because of him." Hermione smiled as she turned and pointed at the man who he'd just got a picture from. "Gilderoy Lockhart." She turned back to him. "He's going to be the new Dark Arts professor."

"Really?" Harry asked, raising his eyebrows with surprise. "He doesn't look like he could find the way out of a wet paper bag." He laughed at his own joke.

Hermione frowned at him. "Harry, that's not fair."

"Are those the Avengers outside?" Mrs. Granger asked as she was looking toward the window, and Hermione's eyes widened.

"Harry! You never said anything about your new family being the."- She trailed off to lower her voice. "The Avengers!" She whispered with a squeal of delight. "America's greatest super heroes! They're just as famous as you!"

Harry couldn't help but smile. "I know." He laughed. "They're really great!" His smile was huge and bright. "And the Avengers are awesome!"

"We read all about them." Hermione smiled.

"Do you want meet them?" Harry asked as he gestered to the door of the store. "My new family?"

"Would we?!" Hermione asked, starting to beam, but she quicky turned to her parents. "Would we?" She asked.

But her parents were smiling. "Of course dear." Mr. Granger gave a nod. "We'd love to meet them too."

Harry lead the Grangers outside. Of course they had to struggle and fight to get outside.

"This is outrages." A familier voice complained as both Harry, and Hermione struggled to get outside.

"Watch where you're stepping!" The voice complained.

"That sounds like Kelsey." Hermione said as they finally made it outside of the store.

"Ouch!" The same voice complained.

"No. It couldn't be." Harry shook his head. "I thought she got all her school stuff last week."

"Hey, you're looking for a hexing!"

Both Hermione, and Harry looked at each other. "Kelsey." They said deadpanned as the Rogers' family walked up.

"Please, we're trying to get outside." Another voice said, and Hermione frowned.

"Don't know that voice."

"That'd be Kelsey's uncle." Harry laughed as he turned around to see his family. "Hermione." He looked at her. "Meet Aunt Natasha, Uncle Steve, and Cousin James." He looked at them. "Rogers family this one of my other best friends: Hermione Granger."

Hermione looked starstruck. "Hi." She breathed. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Steve, and Natasha smiled at her. "It's a pleasure to meet you." Steve said, he was now carrying James on his hip. "Harry's told us a lot about you."

"And these are her parents." Harry quickly said when Hermione gave him a look.

Natasha smiled at the other two adults. "Hello." She held out her hand to Mrs. Granger, who took her hand.

"Hello." Mrs. Granger introduced herself, and her husband.

"The Avengers." Mr. Granger looked just as starstruck as his daughter. "Wow." He breathed.

"Harry, you don't have to go back to the Dursley's?" Hermione asked, finally turning to him.

Harry shook his head. "Nope." He smiled. "Never."

Hermione returned the smile. "That's great!"

After some more conversation about this and that, the two families said goodbye and parted in two different directions. And after awhile the Rogers family meet Neville Longbottom (he lost his frog once again).

Which the last name caused James to giggle, only for his parents to give him a glare.

After returning from Diagon Ally the family was able to relax a little before bedtime. Harry was sitting on a lawn chair relaxing on the porch and looking up at the now starry night.

Natasha walked up to her nephew and sat down next to him. "You like it out here, don't you?" She asked as she laid a picture on her lap.

Harry nodded. "I do. I feel so free when I look out at the night sky." He turned to look at her.

Natasha said nothing, but she picked up the picture she'd placed in her lap and looked at it before handing it to Harry.

"This is for you." She told him. "I'd like for you to have it."

The picture is a photo of James Potter and Lilly Evans-Potter. Of course its not a magical picture.

"I know its not enough." Natasha stated as Harry stared at the picture in his hands.

"I love it." He smiled as he traced his fingers over the picture of Lilly, then he turned to look at his aunt. "Thank you."

The red-head smiled. "Your welcome." It then faded. "Harry." She hesitated. "How would you like to have another cousin?"

His eyes blinked behind his glasses. "You, you mean ... your?" He trailed off.

"I am. Now before you say anything, I want you to know I do not regrete anything a."- Natasha trailed off when Harry suddenly flew into her arms, hugging her.

"You guys are the best thing that's ever happened to me!" He said. "And I can't wait to meet my new cousin."

That brought a smile to Natasha as she returned the hug.
