The One With Mutants:
Rose popped into the living room of number 4 Privet Drive and had to dodge a flying Dudley. She saw Harry was standing by the door with a resigned look on his face as if this was normal and Vernon standing looking at his son who stood up unhurt laughing. This was a healthy happy family, and clearly not normal. A hand shot around the corner and wacked Vernon on the head getting him to grumble about overbearing wives. He was a large man still, and still had a bit of a belly as many middle aged men do, but he was healthy and very strong. Dudley was a stocky boy and had been trying to see how much or little damage he could take, his father was only too happy to showcase his mutant strength and throw his son into the wall. Harry waved his wand and fixed the house yet again. Petunia came into the room and saw Rose and smiled.
"Hello, are you one of Harry's professors?" Petunia asked.
"No, I am actually Harry from another dimension." Rose replied.
"Ah, very good that "Vernon beamed. "Do you like mutants?"
"Oh that is what you are!" Rose said smiling, "magic and mutants, I like that."
"They are mutants, I am magic, you can have one or the other it seems." Harry replied, "and the world is not to know of either really, or rather how many mutants there are. Magneto would like us to all know but Dr. X says no, it is not safe."
"How old are you Harry?" Rose asked.
"Almost thirteen, normally I would not be allowed to use magic outside school, but as my family are mutants, well there you are."
"That we are!" A very happy Marge Dursley said walking in, her powers were beast master and all animals loved her, "normal is so very dull."
I most worlds, the Dursleys were very normal, so very, very normal indeed. However here they were mutants and so Harry grew up in a very different world. One where his powers were just part of a family of weird that had to be kept hidden. Like magic, mutant powers did mostly go through families. Unlike magic users they were rarer, while magic users on nearly every world Rose had visited were 1 magic user per thousand, it was 1 mutant per 3 thousand. Harry here was loved and taught to harness his powers, Magneto in this world ran the European school for mutants while Professor X ran the North America school. While they disagreed on certain things, in this world Magneto was a professor not a criminal.
"So where is Voldemort in this world?" Rose asked.
"Oh the last time I saw him Wolverine was er, carving him up." Dudley replied, "he is very unstable still, headmaster Lehnsherr save him though by removing the adamantium he has restored his sanity sort of."
"If he were ever sane." Harry said, "anyway, he is not going to bother anyone for a time, though he did kill my parents because he wants to watch the world burn and I stand in the way of that."
"Ah, I see, would you like it if I took care of him?" Rose asked.
"Of course, do so, please." Harry replied.
Rose left and did take care of Voldemort, light magic and evil never did go well together and Voldemort was headed to the place he deserved most of all. She was leaving the area when she saw movement and with a wave of her hand the tongue headed towards her hit a wall. She turned to see Toad, squat nearly blind green tinged and clad in brown looking frustrated. Behind him a man clad in a gray uniform with red armor, purple cloak and his signature helmet walked up looking a bit put out.
"Mortimer Toynbee what would your family say to what you are still doing?" Magneto asked.
"Only doing what I want gov'ner, got t' make a living see?" Toad replied.
"No I don't, it is your kind that is making being a mutant rather difficult. I did not survive the death camps for you to ruin all I am trying to achieve, one day the world will know of us and I want them to look up to us, not want to destroy us."
"Good idea." Rose said.
"I have a friend to rescue." Magneto said, "will you join me, Miss…"
"The Huntress."
"Are you really?" Magneto asked impressed.
They headed to the manor in the distance and entered and headed to the dungeons where they found a captive Severus Snape brewing healing potions. Deeper down they found prisoners and these were released, Rose sent a message out with her Patronus for healers and Aurors. Deeper still in a deep pit they found Wolverine barely clothed in rags that were covered in blood, his blood. He saw Magneto and growled at him and Rose stepped out from behind him to get Wolverine to back up.
"She a wand?" Wolverine asked.
"I am, I am the Huntress." Rose replied, with a few waves of her wand she had gathered some cloth together to form a shirt and trousers for Wolverine. "Always wanted to meet you."
"Yea I bet you have." Wolverine said, "so bub, you had to come here to rescue me? I did not like the last time you did."
"You would have died from the adamantium, first your mind then you." Magneto replied.
"I for one would have not been very happy, Eric." Professor X said his chair floating into the chamber.
"Charles good to see you here." Magneto said, "his mind is still damaged."
"Yes, he has been on his own too long after, but he is my responsibility now." Professor X replied.
"He is still here, I ain't going nowhere with you." Wolverine said.
"Yea you are." Rose said stunning him with the most powerful stunner ever, "there you are, have fun."
"You are the Huntress." Professor X said, "and that is all I know, I can't read you."
"Can you read everyone?" Rose asked.
"Yes, such a gift, and yet not at times." Professor X replied.
Rose was pleased to see in this world that Professor X and Magneto were still friends. That Magneto did what professor X did in running a school. True he believed that mutants should not have to hide and believed they should be out in public. However he knew the dangers of that, while the most powerful could fight off humans, most could not. Take a look at what Logan had been used for after all. Hiding was all they had along with the magic users, at least they had each other.
This was an easy world to take care of a certain problem, and Rose for one was happy to have taken care of Voldemort early so she could enjoy this world. She spent time at the two main schools for mutants, seeing they did teach many of the same things. Magneto was a militant still but he did not attack unless his students or himself was under threat. He still believed the worst of humanity, but then he had lived the worst, yet here he was not a villain but working with to rid the world of evil.
Back at the Dursley house Rose saw Petunia working happily in her kitchen, she stood at the stove and when she needed something, she could stretch an arm to get it wherever she needed. This Petunia looked happy and this Petunia looked more normal than any of the so called normal Petunia's she had seen. Rose just wished she could have been raised by such a Petunia.
