WARNING: Author trying herself to Sassy!Steve(and maybe miserably failed), Mpreg, Slash, Swearing, Cursing
It was two and thirty-six when the eldest men found themselves in the living room, dressed up and everything, and waiting for Harry. Footsteps were heard above then in the stairs before Harry appeared, wearing his leather suit with the overcoat open.
"Getting fat around the middle?"joked Tony making the wizard glare at him.
"That's what happen to pregnant people, they get fat"snarked Harry"Something that can't be said to you, aren't you getting pudgy around the middle?"
Johann tried to hold back a snicker when Tony frowned at the wizard and yet grabbed the skin around his stomach.
"You should watch yourself, at your age"added Harry then pointed at Steve and Johann"I mean look at those nonagenarians"Steve even flexed jokingly his arms and Tony glared him"They're fitter than you"
"I hate you all"replied the genius.
Harry laughed and walked to the fireplace and was about to grab some Floo powder but Tony beat him to it.
"I'll go first"piped the genius"God knows you can be such a klutz and we wouldn't want you to fall on your face"
Harry glared at him but stepped back.
"Say 'Ministry of Magic' and wait for us"replied Harry
Tony nodded and stepped into the fireplace.
"Ministry of Magic"
The green flames engulfed the genius after he threw the powder then left the premises. Harry counted in his head then too took a handful of powder.
"Harry?"called softly Steve"After our appointment, could we talk? We really need it"
Harry said nothing, stepped into the fireplace and shouted 'Ministry of Magic' before being engulfed by the emerald fire. Steve stared disappointedly at the empty fireplace.
"He won't talk"said Johann, taking a handful of the powder"Why do you think I kidnaped him?"
"You kidnaped him just to talk?"
Johann rolled his eyes and nodded.
"…You really need to seek help…"
"Harry said the same thing"drawled the German man"Ministry of Magic"
The green fire enveloped him and he felt less sick than the previous time and was even able not to stumble out of the fireplace. Exiting the fireplace and dusting the soot off his clothes, Johann looked around the swarm of people—some of them who even gasped and scooted away from him upon seeing his face— and noticed Harry and Tony a few fireplaces ahead. A fireplace roared beside him as he walked toward the two and Steve landed softly on his two feet.
"Harry's over there"informed Johann when Steve looked around for the wizard and the genius.
The blond nodded and the two walked up to Harry, the officials around them parting, almost like the Red Sea, and letting them pass easily. Johann even heard some of them mutter 'The Dark Lord is back!' or 'It's He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named!', making his —non existent—eyebrow raise up quizzically.
"What's wrong with those people?"asked Steve when they joined Harry and Tony"They're staring at Schmidt weirdly and scaredly"
Harry blinked quizzically at the blond, looked at the staring people behind the super soldiers then eyed Johann and gave out a soft gasp.
"Shit! I forgot!"Harry took out his wand and approached Johann who eyed the wizard and the wand warily.
"What is it?"asked Johann, his body unknowingly leaning away from the wand.
"Nothing, but your face does look like Voldemort's one"replied Harry"Except a bit red so people are thinking you may be Voldemort's twin"
Johann frowned but still eyed the wand weirdly.
"I'm just going to Glamour your face, long enough to last through the day"explained Harry and he waved his wand around Johann's face for a few seconds"It's done"
Johann shrugged.
"If you say so"deadpanned the man.
"Let's go, we're going to be late"Harry turned around and started walking.
The men followed him as they walked through the crowd then into an old–looking lift.
"Level one"said Harry to the liftman.
Johann expected the lift to go up but it moved back, horizontally then sideway then down, down, down. They stopped from time to time, before stopping entirely.
"Level 1, Minister for Magic and Support Staff"said the liftman.
Harry thanked the man and the group exited and followed Harry as he walked through the polished black-tilled hallway, passing by doors then stopping before one. Harry stared at the name on the door then knocked.
"Come in"
Harry and the other entered into the warm and large office of the Minister. Shakebolt was talking with an Auror who held papers in his arms. The two stopped talking upon seeing him then the Auror bowed lightly before he made his way out. The Auror passed close to Harry that the raven-haired could see a bit of the upper paper he was holding, immediately recognising the colour and title of a wanted poster but not who was on it. Harry frowned just slightly before coming up to Shakebolt's desk and stood straight before it, one arm behind his back and the other over his heart then bowed low and stayed as such. The others watched the wizard as he, most probably, saluted the man behind the desk.
"Minister"said Harry to the floor.
"Harry, at ease"smiled Shakebolt
Harry straightened, put his arms behind his back and spread his legs slightly, the same position as the muggle soldiers' 'at ease'.
"You said you wanted to see us, Minister"
"Indeed, I do"Shakebolt walked from behind his desk to shake hands with the muggles"My name is Kingsley Shakebolt"—Shakebolt shook hands with Tony, then Steve then Johann—"And as Harry probably told you, I'm the Minister for Magic"
"Harry didn't tell us he knew such…important people"drawled Tony.
"Harry has always been a secretive person"—Johann and Steve refrained from snorting—"And he hates the fame he has in the Wizard World, sir…"
"Tony Stark"replied Tony
"Ah! The egocentric genius with the heart of gold, Harry told me about you, when he gave me a report on the Battle of New York"Shakebolt turned around to gaze at Harry while Tony gaped at the wizard's back"When Harry joined you for the battle, he gave us quite a lot of paperwork after he came back"
"He told us"added Steve"Said he was almost lynched back at home"
"Let me guess, you're Captain America"guessed the Minister
Steve nodded and saluted the man.
"Name is Steve Rogers, sir"
Shakebolt's lips twitched slightly.
"Your people have some trouble with the…Muggles?"asked Johann
Shaekbolt stared at the man.
"Who are you? I don't think Harry mentioned you before"
"His name is Noah Smith, he's a consultant for the Avengers"came Harry's voice"He recently got taken for the job"Harry shrugged"Superiors wanted to 'pop his cherry' on a particular field mission and he joined us"
Johann tried not to gape at the wizard or his phrasing or his lie.
"Well, let's hope his mission won't overwhelm him to much"
Johann frowned at the man's stressing on the word.
"Don't worry sir, I'll made sure of that"said Harry"You said you wanted to talk about something, what is it, sir?"
Shakebolt's face darkened lightly before the man walked behind his desk.
"All of you, take a seat"Shakebolt waved his hands and summoned comfortable looking chairs.
"Thank you sir, but I'll stand"said Harry while the other sat.
"Harry, you should sit down, especially in your s-"Steve cut himself at the dark look Harry sent him.
"Harry?"asked Kingsley.
"It's okay, it's nothing, I was just in a little mishap a couple days earlier, nothing life threatening"—Johann, Steve and Tony tried not to make a disbelieved face at the wizard's back—"Steve's just looking out for me"
The Minister made a noise, stared at Harry then at the men behind him before rummaging through the paper on his desk then handed Harry a thick scroll.
"Here's a list of all made Portkeys in the last months"Harry opened the scroll and skimmed through the content"We tried to find anything remotely suspicious but all of those names are from Light Families"
Harry pursed his lips, noting names like Therry Whilde, Dennis Fyrewyrm, Draco Malfoy, Ginny Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Luna Scamander and so on. Nothing suspicious.
"Couldn't the Port-thingy be made some older times or someone supplied a false identity?"asked Tony
"Sadly, mister Stark, when someone is asking for a Portkey to be made, we take a sample of their magic and we know for sure if his or her identity is true or false, and a spell on a Personal Portkey is to be re-done each month, like the Portkeys of Healers"explained Shakebolt.
"And with Polyjuice?"asked Steve and Johann stared blankly at the blond.
Shakebolt shook his head.
"You just take on the person's appearance, not their magic and each magic is proper to their withholder"Shakebolt turned to Harry"I didn't know you had kids"
Harry pursed his lips slightly, pondering on what he should say next.
"Had them after I disappeared for a year for this mission"Harry gave a pointed look at the men behind him, clearly saying 'Later'.
"Do I know the girl?"
Johann was the only one to hold back a snort.
"Man's a muggle"replied evasively the raven-haired wizard.
Shakebolt blinked at the Saviour of the Wizarding World, who raised an eyebrow at him.
"…Ah…"
Johann definitely snorted this time.
"I'd like to keep that information quiet, if you don't mind"said Harry.
Shakebolt nodded.
"I'll do my best, but it will be hard"said Shakebolt"Skeeter has been snooping around after she got wind of your kids, trying to find information concerning you and them"
Harry's whole body tensed and his hands opened and closed spasmodically.
"If she's still giving you trouble"growled Harry"I could always…talk with her and dissuade from doing this kind of thing again"
Kinglsey frowned.
"Do you have something on her?"
"I haven't the foggiest on what you mean, sir"replied evasively Harry"I was just saying I could talk with her"
Tony snorted and Shakebolt eyed the wizard slightly disapprovingly.
"I wish, Potter, but you're no Auror anymore and that would be considering threatening of magical being, and I'm sure you don't want Skeeter writing lies on you"
Harry made a noise of agreement.
"Could we get to the point, sir?"asked Johann.
Shakebolt was about to answer the man when the door opened and an Auror entered, breathless, and holding papers. Harry and the others turned around to glare at the intruder.
"Can't you see I'm busy?"asked Shakebolt
"It's important, sir"replied the Auror"It concerns the-"
Kinglsey cleared his voice, cutting the man and standing from his desk.
"Excuse us Harry, for a moment"said Kingsley as he walked toward the Auror and both exited the room.
Harry glared at the door while the other raised a quizzical eyebrow.
"I don't know for you"piped up Tony"But something isn't right"
Johann nodded with a noise while Steve frowned but nodded. Harry stared at the papers on the desk then at the door then at the desk.
"Harry, what are you doing?"hissed Steve as he watched the wizard walk around the desk and stare closely at the papers.
"Looking for answers"answered Harry"Shakebolt is being secretive and that is making alarm bells sound in my head"
Harry fished in his overcoat's pocket a pair of leather gloves—that was a part of the suit Johann made him—put them on and started skimming through the papers and moving them gently. The three men watched as Harry's curious and determined look was replaced by an angry one as he kept on reading whatever was on those papers. The door opened and Kinglsey, along with the young Auror, walked back inside. Kingsley gaped then glared at the wizard behind his desk.
"Kinglsey…What is going on?"growled Harry, his body strained and his magic swirling slightly inside the room.
Kinglsey stayed silent.
"Watch out, Potter"snarked the Auror"You forgot who you're talking to! You may be our Saviour that doesn't give yo-"
The man cut himself as he seemed to have trouble speaking, as if his tongue was stuck to his palate.
"Harry"warned Kinglsey"Cancel your jinx"
"Not until I have my answer"hissed the raven.
The three muggles could only stare from one group to another, not knowing what to do.
"I'll give them to you"conceded Shakebolt and Harry cancelled the Langlock on the Auror, who cowered behind the Minister.
"I repeat…What is going on?"
Kinglsey eyed him then sighed.
"There was a breakout at Azkaban, we don't know who did it yet"
Harry made an angry and distressed noise, his hands rubbing his face then his hair. From the way the wizard was behaving, it wasn't something good.
"Who?"
"It would be wise fo-"said Shakebolt
"WHO?!"
Shakebolt shook his head, waved his hands and papers flew out of drawers or files and floated before Harry.
"Here's a list of all Death Eaters who had escaped"
"Wait! Death Eaters?"Tony turned to Harry"Wasn't that the followers of Vo-Mor-Moldyshort?"
Harry gave just a little snort but nodded.
"Yes"Harry glared at Shakebolt"You also forgot to mention it was the Death Eaters I, personally, hunted and locked up"
Johann tensed and glared at the dark-skinned man.
"If they held a grudge for Harry, I wouldn't be surprised if the perpetrator is one of those Death Eaters"stated Johann, a hint of anger in his voice.
Harry glowered at the Minister for Magic.
"Why didn't you warn me?!"
"Because you would throw yourself recklessly into this mission"growled the Minister"I've seen you go on missions non-stop before you retired, it didn't matter if you were sleep-deprived, magic-depleted or covered in wounds as long as you caught those Death Eaters"
"Sounds like someone we all know"commented Tony.
"Shut up Stark"replied Harry, Steve and Johann at the same time.
"The thing is you could have told me!"hissed Harry"I could have taken precautions! I would have warned more my kids!"Harry inhaled and exhaled angrily"At last, now I have an idea on who the perpetrators may be"
"And how could they have found you or the kids you didn't tell us about, Potter?"asked the Auror and Harry refrained from hexing the sod.
"My real location may not have been made public in the Wizarding World but my doing in the Battle of New York and my sighting at with Avengers surely was enough for the Death Eaters to know where to strike! Even if they were in Azkaban!"Harry took menacing steps toward the Auror, who cowered back behind Shakebolt"As for my kids, firstly, I am not entitled to tell you anything about my life, why? You want to know how many time I took a piss today or how many cock I sucked?"—The Auror almost strangled himself with his spit while Steve and Johann tried to hide their blush—"Secondly, they could have my place watched before they fucking stroke!"
"No need to be this vulgar, Potter"scolded Shakebolt.
Harry shrugged.
"I learnt from a good friend that being vulgar and blunt is the best way not to have people on your back anymore"casually replied the green-eyed wizard, making Tony snort then laugh.
"Back to the matter at hand"Kinglsey inhaled"I don't want you or your team on the field"
"What?!"shouted Harry, Steve and Johann, the two latter standing up from their seat while Tony stared at the man in disbelief.
"What was the point then of letting us come?"growled the genius but was ignored.
"You heard me, Potter"replied Kinglsey"You are a retired Auror, therefor you won't take orders from me, and we have some troubles with the Avengers"
"Shakebolt, if you are worried about them revealing our existence to the Muggles, you shouldn't be, they have way more secrets that make ours look like kitten piss"said Harry
"What kind of secrets?"asked the Auror.
Tony rolled his eyes as he stood up.
"The point of a secret is to remain secret if not, it's not a secret, capish?"
The Auror blinked owlishly at the genius.
"That doesn't mean I'm going to allow you or your friends on the field, Potter"replied Kingsley"Or have you forgot the rule where an Auror isn't meant to go on field when the case at hand concerns said Auror, and let me tell you Harry, you are more than concerned, and I can see you and your troubles controlling your magic, I don't want your uncontrolled emotions compromising my Aurors already working on it"
Harry shook his head in disbelief.
"You can't mean I am to stay and wait for the Aurors to find my kids"
"Sir, if you had allowed my team to come to your world, it was to be able to help you, so please, let us help"tried Rogers firmly.
Shakebolt shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Captain Rogers, but I can't allow you that for two reasons, one, you three along with other people in America, know too much about our world and I can't afford someone leaking something to the bad people, two, you all are too close to Harry to be a part of the operation"reasoned Kingsley before turning to Harry"Potter, you are to stay confined at either Grimmauld or at the Avengers' until my Aurors are done with their jobs"
Harry tensed his jaws, his lips twitching.
"Yes, sssssir"Harry hissed the last part in Parseltongue"I will take heed of your orders and leave"
The other men stared at Harry in disbelief.
"So you're just giving up"growled Steve
"I'm not giving up"replied Harry"I'll just be waiting"Harry looked pointedly at each one of the muggles"Let's go home and wait"
All of them showed their contempt to the Minister as they made their way toward the door. Harry opened it open for Tony, Steve and Johann.
"Potter! If I see you out there, on the field, I'm locking you up in Azkaban until we find your kids"
Harry glared at Kingsley as he shut the door. Once Harry was out, he tried to control his breathing—and magic— clenching and unclenching his hands.
"What do we do now?"growled Johann
"We go home"Harry gave a pointed look at the door then at them when they protested"We'll talk later, not here though, you never know who could be listening"he said only for them to hear before the wizard made his way toward the lift and demanded to go on Level 8. As they made their way to the row of fireplace, someone grabbed Harry's arms and Harry almost hexed the person but stopped when he noticed it was Hermione.
"Blimey, Mione"hissed Harry, a hand over his heart"I could have hexed you!"
"You seemed a bit tense if you're about to hex someone, what happened?"
Harry gave Hermione a confused look.
"How do you always know when I'm tense?"The witch just raised her eyebrow at him"Okay, never mind"
Hermione stared at him, his friends behind him then his outfit.
"Nice outfit"said Hermione"It goes well with your eyes, although it too bad you didn't close the overcoat"
Harry shrugged but absentmindedly he flicked his wrist and the overcoat buttoned itself—and made him uncomfortable around his middle.
"Better?"Harry even twirled for Hermione to see.
"Definitely, where did you get it?"
Johann swallowed inaudibly.
"A gift I was given a long time ago"replied evasively Harry then looked around before casting a Muffliato around them"Have you found anything?"
"That's why I stopped you"Hermione took out a file from her bottomless bag and opened it"It was hard to find whatever potion or spell or ritual that could help you, I had to go through Hogwarts' Restricted Library, by the way McGonagall is sending you her regards"—Harry smiled—"But I found nothing in it, so I tried with a couple of Unspeakable friends but they also would hardly give me anything so I tried K-"
"Herms, breathe"said Harry with a laugh in his tone"Sometime I think the only thing that is able to get you speechless is Ron and his 'magic'"Harry gave a joking leer at the witch.
Hermione frowned, closed the file and hit Harry upside the head with it and the wizard shrunk a bit.
"Sorry…Kidding"
Behind him, his friends snickered.
"You were asking for it, Harry"snarked Tony.
"And to return where I was rudely interrupted, I may have found something"
Hope swelled inside all of them, maybe not everything was lost.
"Let's go discuss it at Grimmauld if you don't mind?"suggested Harry and Hermione checked her muggle wrist watch.
"I have half an hour before I am needed at my desk, so let's go"
Harry nodded, cancelled the spell around them and walked each to a different fireplace.
"I'll go f-"
"Yes, Stark, we know you'll go first, so be quick"hissed Harry making Hermione stare calculatingly at the raven.
"I love you too, babe"replied Tony and Harry hissed at the man as he disappeared into green flames followed by Harry then Hermione, Steve and lastly Johann. Harry sat them around the living room, with Tony, Harry and Hermione on the couch and Steve and Johann on a chair around them. Before Hermione opened her mouth to talk, a set of tea appeared on the table with biscuits, scones, sugar cubes and milk.
"I hope you're giving Kreacher pay days and days off"Hermione served herself some tea.
Harry breathed a laugh.
"Yes, if you want to make an inspection of my home and how I treat Kreacher, go for it"said Harry, grabbing a scone and putting it in his mouth"So what did you find?"
"I found a potion"Hermione showed Harry the file"The Invenire Mihi potion is a complex one, bordering on dark and it can find anything that's on Earth"
Harry stared at the pages in the files, describing what to do, when was the best time to do it and so one. Harry turned a page and was surprised to see he couldn't read the page.
"That's Latin"noted Harry and Hermione nodded as she drank her tea.
"Wait, the potion's recipe was in latin?"asked Tony after reading above Harry's shoulder.
Hermione nodded again.
"Found the book in a library in Knockturn, bought it and translated it entirely"
Tony stared at her.
"You translated at whole book in Latin in, what, a couple of days?"
Hermione nodded again.
"I could have taken less but my job required me and my attention"
Harry let out a small laugh at the face the men made.
"Hermione Weasley née Granger, the brightest witch of our generation"boasted Harry.
Hermione blushed and took a biscuit.
"By the way, Herms…Why didn't you tell me about the breakout?"asked Harry slowly.
Hermione gave him a long look.
"Honestly, Harry, you're asking me this?"said rhetorically the witch and Harry rolled his eyes.
"Yes, because that would have been valuable warning for me"
"I know, I'm sorry"said Hermione"But Shakebolt asked us not to tell you anything, since you had work with Avengers and this HYDRA thing you told us"
Harry nodded while Johann stared at an interesting web up in a corner of the room.
"Could you do the potion?"asked Steve
"I could do it, but I can't"said Hermione.
"Why?"asked Johann.
"Because the one who need to find something or someone has to brew it"the witch stared at Harry"Have you used the Black Potion Lab?"
"You have a lab?"asked ecstatically Tony.
"No muggle allowed"growled Harry"Herms…Is the potion potent?"
"Yes, like many potions, why?"
Harry tried to quell his breathing.
"I won't be able to do it"
Hermione gave a long stare at Harry.
"Harry? Why? What is it?"
Heaving a breath or two, Harry stared right into Herms' warm brown eyes.
"I…I…Iampregnant"replied quickly the raven-haired wizard.
"…Come again? Slower this time"
"I am pregnant"hissed Harry.
Hermione gaped at Harry then she gave off a squeal that almost made them deaf then hugged the life out of Harry.
"Oh, Merlin! Oh Merlin! This is wonderful!"
"Herms…A…A…Air"
Hermione released him then kissed his cheeks.
"This is wonderful news Harry! Even if I wished you wouldn't discover it during a crisis like this but"Hermione hugged him again"Who's the other father? It's Steve right?"
The atmosphere turned tense, heavy and dark. Harry's face took on an ashamed look while Steve and Johann adverted their gaze away from the two magical people.
"Harry, Steve is the father, right?"
'With Johann, yes'Harry thought as he nodded.
"Then what's the problem?"Hermione turned to glare at Steve"Are you troubled by his state? I could explain it to y-"
"Herms, please, don't make this more uncomfortable than it is"begged Harry.
"Harry, what is the matter?"
Harry wanted to tell her, to confide everything from his hooking up with Johann, under a false name, to how he got with Steve and how he blatantly threw himself at Johann then slept the same day with Steve to erase the man's marks left on his body and how he ended up pregnant with both of the men's babies. But the words were stuck in his throat and his emotions were getting the best of him.
"It's nothing, we…we've been having…problems…recently"said evasively Harry, sounding as if he would cry at any moment"But back to our problem, isn't there anything else? A spell, an artefact, anything to find them?"
Hermione shook he head 'no' and tears spilled from his eyes.
"So there's nothing we can do"whimpered Harry"There is no power that can help?"
"The only solution would be to have god-like power"replied Hermione"And no one has this kind of power"
Harry's face fell and he tried to hold back a sob. Hermione made a sad face and gathered Harry into her arms.
"I'm sorry, I wish there was more I could do"Hermione whispered then released the raven"I have to go, my job needs me"
Harry nodded, his eyes staring at the floor as she left. He felt someone sat beside him then an arm was passed around his shoulder while a hand was rubbing his back soothingly.
"Hey, it's okay, we'll find something"whispered Steve.
Harry's answer was to let out a shaky sob before he bawled. Johann could only stare as Harry sobbed his heart out, his own heart squeezing painfully. The witch said they needed some godly power to find the twins except they didn't have this kind of power.
'Or maybe we do'thought Johann.
With hope and determination, Johann stood up.
"Loki!"shouted the German man startling everyone in the room"Get your Arsch down here right now!"
"Schmidt, have you lost your mind?"asked Tony
"Loki is dead, Thor told us"added Steve, glaring at the elder man.
Johann snarled and glowered at them.
"Then either he lied to you, or Loki is smarter than you all"replied Johann"LOKI! COME DOWN NOW! I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME! SO DON'T MAKE ME BUILD SOMETHING TO GET TO YOU AND DRAG YOU DOWN TO EARTH!"
"Johann! Stop it!"sobbed Harry, shaking Steve's arm off, standing and marching toward the man"It won't work, Loki won't come! He is dead!"
Johann ignored the wizard and kept on calling.
"For Merlin's sake, stop it Jo-"
"Will you stop screaming? We can hear you from the other side of all the Realms"hissed a new voice.
