Harry stared, mouth agape at Remus. "Excuse me? Can you run that by me again?"
It's been a few days since the war ended and everything was starting to get back to normal, until Remus had sat down across from him and told him of a family secret.
Remus smiled sadly. "Harry, you heard me the first time."
Harry stood up quickly, running his hand through his messed up hair. "So you're saying that mom and dad were separated and my mom slept with somebody else and I'm the result of that? So I've gone my whole life thinking that my dad isn't really my dad?"
Harry's magic vibrated around him, pulsing. And without his soulmate around him, his emotions can affect his magic. Soulmates are a thing in the Wizarding World and Harry found his. Draco Malfoy. They found out right after Dumbledore died and were seeing each other in secret. But then the Horcrux hunt had put a damper in things.
They were both relieved when they were reunited and have spent all their time together. They were reluctant to separate when Remus wanted to talk Harry, but Draco understood.
Harry didn't understand why Remus wanted to talk about in private, but he never expected to find out his dad isn't really his dad.
Harry was so lost in his own head, he didn't realize Remus was talking to him. He jolted out of thoughts when Remus put a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry Harry. I would've told you sooner but ever since we found out Sirius was innocent, I've been trying to find him and I didn't want to tell you until I did."
Harry spun around and faced Remus. "Did—" he was interrupted by a door slamming open.
"Harry! Are you okay? I felt your magic spike through our bond," Draco said while going to Harry and stroking his cheek.
Harry smiled fondly at Draco. Remus saw this interaction and thanked Merlin Harry has Draco. Being without your soulmate was devastating. He knew since Sirius was his and he can feel the absence of the other half of his soul.
"Yes I'm fine love. Remus was telling me that my mother slept with someone else and I have a different father," Harry said causally.
Draco's mouth dropped. "What?"
Harry smiled, his magic has calmed down and Draco's presence was helping. Draco dropped his hand from his soulmates face and took his hand. "Are you sure?"
The question was directed at Remus. "Yes I am. After we graduated from Hogwarts, Lily and James got married. But they discovered that they weren't really in love with each other. Lily told us that she met someone at a bar and they.. got along quite well," Remus was interrupted by Draco snorting.
"Draco," Harry chastised softly.
"What? He might as well say it like it is," Draco sniffed, with his nose up in the air.
Harry reached up and gripped Draco's soft hair in his hands. He tugged just enough that Draco lost the prissy look on his face. "Let him talk love."
It took Draco a moment to ignore the rush going through him. "Fine."
Remus looked amused. "As I was saying, after that night together Lily got pregnant. It was just Lily, James, and I who knew the truth. Not even Sirius. Lily tried to find your birth father, but there wasn't much she could do while in hiding."
Harry looked thoughtful. "You said you were looking. Did you find him?"
Draco put his arm around Harry's waist in support. Harry looked at him in thanks.
"Yes I did and he's a muggle."
Draco and Harry looked shocked. "Harry's dad is a muggle?"
Harry looked at him in irritation. " Does that matter?"
Draco smiled at him. "No it doesn't I'm just shocked. That explains why you're more powerful than average."
Remus spoke up. "Draco is right. But Harry, your birth dad is powerful in the muggle world. He's what you would call a superhero."
Harry's mouth once again dropped. Draco just frowned in confusion. "What is a superhero?"
"It's a powerful person who saves the world," Remus explained.
"Muggles," Draco sneered. "Of course, they invent something like that to make them feel safe instead of learning to defend themselves."
Remus and Harry rolled their eyes. Remus continued with what he was saying before. "His name is Tony Stark and he's pretty much you, but in the muggle world."
Harry's eyebrows furrowed. "What do you mean?"
"Tony Stark is very rich. Almost as rich as you."
Draco let out a undignified gasp. "Almost as rich as Harry?"
Remus laughed. "Yes, and he's impressive. He's invented a lot of things. I can't say for sure, but he's powerful."
Everyone was quiet after that. Remus and Draco were silent as Harry processed everything. How can he come to terms with this? Everything he's known was a lie. His head was pounding and he had to sit down. As he sat down Draco again wrapped an arm around his waist. He was thankful Draco was there with him.
Harry started to think more about his birth dad. Is he nice? Would he accept me? Harry got more and more excited. He finally had someone to be there for him. He has a dad. Never had he wanted anything more in his life. Right there and then he came to a decision.
Harry stood up, startling Remus and Draco. "I want to meet him. Like now."
Draco stood up and kissed Harry on the cheek. "Wherever you go, I go."
Harry smiled brightly at him and looked at Remus. "Can you come to Remus and bring Teddy? You're my family and I want you to come with me."
Remus sighed in relief and grabbed both Harry and Draco in a hug. "Of course I'll come. You're both part of my pack and I think we all need a new start."
They all stood there embraced, thinking to all the people they've lost. For Remus, he lost Tonks. Draco lost his mother and his father is in Azkaban. And Harry... Well he lost Ron, Hermione, Fred, Ginny, and Sirius. They were all ready to start over.
Draco got out of the group hug and straightened. "Well now that... the sentiment is over. Harry and I have to pack."
Harry waved goodbye as his soulmate dragged him out the dorm.
...
Harry and Draco were leaving the Gryffindor tower when Harry started to feel sad. It didn't hit him until now that his best friends are gone. Ron had gotten hit by the killing curse and Hermione had died to save Draco. Harry was so thankful to Hermione, but it just made him feel worse. He was the cause of so many deaths. Feeling his despair, Draco cupped Harry's face.
"Harry stop. It wasn't your fault. But think love. You have a chance now. To have the family you always wanted. You have a dad," Draco pleaded.
Harry took a deep breath and put his hands over Draco's. "I know Dray. It's just so hard."
Draco smiled sadly. "I know. But now it's time to start over. I'm sorry that the Weasley's are mindless idiots right now but now we both can finally be free to be together."
Harry smiled widely when he felt pure happiness go through the bond. "Yes we can and we will be. Nothing will ever pull us apart again. I love you Draco."
"I love you to Harry."
Draco pulled Harry into a a soft kiss. Before it could deepen, the door opened. Hearing a baby babble, Harry smiled widely and grabbed his godson out of Remus' arms.
"Hello Teddy," Harry cooed. He laughed as he saw Teddy change his hair and eyes the same shade as his.
"He loves you Harry," Remus said. "I know when he misses you because he changes his features to look like yours."
Draco smiled smugly. "Of course, Teddy misses Harry, my mate is simply incredible."
Harry's eyes widened and he blushed. "Draco!"
Draco looked at him innocently as Remus laughed. "What? Am I wrong?"
Harry just blushed even more red. He tried to stutter out a response but couldn't string words together. So he just scowled at Draco. That made Remus laugh even harder.
"No you're not wrong Draco. My honorary cub is very incredible." Remus paused to look at Harry and saw he was blushing again. "Aww look at how cute he is when he blushes."
Harry roller his eyes, ignoring his blush. "Alright alright. Is everybody ready?"
Handing Teddy back to Remus, he went over to Draco and put his arm around his waist.
Remus nodded while bouncing Teddy on his hip. "Yes. I connected your magic to this portkey so that it'll go right to your birth father."
They all gathered around the tea cup and touched it. They were instantly transported and Harry gasped in shock. What in the bloody hell? He looked directly in front of him and saw what looked like superheroes gathered around someone. He was wearing a red and gold suit that was broken and the man had black hair. Part of his face was burned and he looked to be in terrible agony. He was in front of a blonde woman and she was sobbing.
Remus grabbed his shoulder roughly. "Harry! That's him! That's Tony Stark a.k.a Iron Man."
Harry didn't waste any time and went to his birth father. He saw that Tony was starting to close his eyes and immediately created a shield around him and his father. With tears in his eyes, he Hagen shouting spells. "Episkey! Brackium Emendo! Reparifors!"
He could hear shouting in the background but concentrated on his magic going into his father. Don't die. Please don't die. You can't die before you know about me. Please not another one. Harry begged and begged and combined with the spells, he saw his fathers wounds beginning to heal.
Sighing in relief, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and stood up. He felt unsteady and before he could fall, he felt arms wrapped around him. He wearily kissed Draco's cheek in thanks.
Feeling a shove against his magic, he looked to see the group of superheroes tying to get through his shields. He recognized Thor, the God of Thunder. He put the shield down and immediately dropped to one knee with his right fist on his heart.
"Greetings Thor, God of Thunder," Harry and Draco said.
The God looked mildly surprised and nodded. "Greetings Wizards."
Draco and Harry stood up and Remus quickly went to them.
The superhero in red, blue and white came forward. "Who are you and what are you doing here? What were you doing to Tony?"
Draco sneered. "Did you not hear Thor? We're wizards and we were helping."
A friendly looking man with brown hair and brown eyes came forward. I immediately sensed something dangerous about him.
Harry watched him carefully as he asked a question. "What are you doing here though?"
Harry didn't answer. Instead he addressed the dangerous magic in the man. "What are you? Are you a werewolf? I can sense the magic in you?"
Before the man could respond, Remus spoke. "He's not a werewolf, but it's similar."
The man looked wide eyed but ignored it for now. "Why were you helping Tony? Wizards haven't done anything in our war?"
A war? Harry decided to be blunt about it. "I recently found out that he's my birth father."
"What?" Harry looked down, shocked. His birth father stated up at him in shock and confusion.
Draco laughed. "Only you Harry."
