Hey guys, here's today's chapter. The next chapter, the one with Bucky's rescue in it, is coming right along but It hasn't quite reached completion.

I have a question for you guys. Do you think this story is moving too slowly or too quickly? I feel that its going kind of slow, after all we are at just around chapter thirty and we have just finished first year and aren't even halfway through summer vacation. On the other hand I have a few people telling me to slow down. I obviously don't have a problem with writing a LOOONG fanfiction but I would like your thoughts on the matter.

Without further ado, today's chapter.

Enjoy!

Disclaimer in Chapter 1. I also don't own Star Wars.

Albus Dumbledore apparated onto Privet Drive with a sour look twisted onto his face. He had just dealt Wizengamot's summons. As he predicted they had demanded to know the location of the girl to check on her thoroughly. It had taken him much maneuvering and subtle, roundabout threats to get the Wizengamot to put off the visit to Harriet's house to check on her. The story he spun about her relatives seeing the article and expecting a visit only got him a four-day extension though, as they had demanded an oath from him stating that he would take a group of aurors to the girl's residence before the end of the week.

Now he only had to make sure the house was in order, the girl was under the Imperious, and that the Dursley's behaved themselves; the final task being one he knew would be harder than anything he'd done before. Sure he had helped throw the muggle child services off several times before but he knew that the Dursley's wouldn't take well to wizards searching their house and questioning them. He could put them under the Imperious as well but muggles tended to come off more monotone when under the curse than magicals, the aurors would notice that right away.

"Maybe just strong compulsions?" Albus mused to himself as he walked up the driveway of Number 4 Privet Drive. He wasn't sure if the strong compulsions could completely hide the Dursley's hate for magic though. Albus shook himself and knocked crisply on the door before folding his arms behind his back. After several seconds of nothing he knocked again with a frown on his face. When no one answered Albus took a glance around and for the first time since his arrival noticed the empty driveway, slightly overgrown garden, and the complete and utter lack of sound from within. Dumbledore's frown grew and he checked the street for muggles before sliding his wand free and unlocking the door with a quick charm.

The door swung open to reveal a completely abandoned house. Albus looked around with wide eyes, anger beginning to creep in throat as he saw the completely empty front room and kitchen. Not a single dish or piece of furniture occupied the rooms. On the wall there were darker areas of paint where pictures sat previously, allowing the sun to bleach the surrounding paint. Albus hurried upstairs and found the same situation in the bedrooms. Only the room he knew to be Harriet's had anything in it and that was broken down mattress, a small rickety desk, and a closet with a single wire hanger.

By this time Albus was scowling, his wand tip glowing ominously. He wanted to cast a magic detector but knew that it would be faint since the Dursley's would punish Harriet for anything even perceived as magic, the girl would likely avoid that at all costs. So, Albus cast a general signs of life detector as he walked back through the house and found it very faint. Albus snarled and put his wand away before letting out a breath, fixing his serene mask back in place, and apparating through his wards straight back to Hogwarts. He walked calmly to his floo to call Severus through.

Once he had made contact he walked back over to his desk to have a clear path for pacing. Where could the Dursleys have gone? Had the new goblin stopped their payments? What had they done with the girl? Albus glanced over at his many trinkets and quickly found the one he had locked onto the girl's life force when she was five to monitor his biggest investment. It was still spinning away steadily, emitting a light hum as it went. "At least she's alive." He muttered to himself.

Seconds later the floo flared to life and Severus stepped through in his usual dark attire, "You called?" he drawled.

"Yes," Dumbledore said seriously, leaning on his desk, "This morning the Wizengamot demanded that I take them to the Dursleys to investigate the article that came out a few days ago." Severus inclined his head for Albus to continue, "I went to make sure they were still there and had not been tipped off and discovered that they had moved. Did they say anything about this to you?"

"No." Severus said stiffly, "They did not."

Dumbledore frowned, "I didn't think you would leave something like that out." He let out a sigh, "I'm afraid we need to search for them. They left no forwarding address and there was no sign of Harriet. They need to be under those wards to keep Harriet safe." He made sure his face was showing concern as he looked to Severus, "I know you were brewing my boy, but would you be able to hold off and help me find Harriet? She could be in grave danger."

"I have to go banish my current concoction so that it doesn't explode in the interim and then I will begin the search Headmaster." Severus said shortly.

Dumbledore smiled, "Thank you Severus, it is appreciated." Snape gave a half bow and disappeared through the floo as quickly as he had appeared. Dumbledore let out a breath and popped a lemon drop into his mouth. He had to salvage this plan. He just hopped he could find the Dursleys and Harriet before he was forced to show the abandoned house to the aurors at the end of the week. If he could get the Dursleys back and the claims thrown out he might even be able to get rid of Skeeter by the end of this. With a smile Albus went to start a tracking ritual, unaware that a shimmering white doe patronus was bounding off of the Hogwarts grounds at that very moment.

Over at the Potter Manor everyone was gathered in the main dining room with papers scattered across the table and a court room pensieve, that was currently playing several memories on loop for Tony, who sitting watching them carefully while drawing on a Stark Pad he had gotten Daisy to bring him. Harriet, who was now about the size of a parrot, was hopping along the table as she chatted with Loki and the Marauders, her foot-long tail feathers trailed after her. Sleipnir was curled into Loki's side but was watching the pensieve curiously and every so often peeked at what Tony was drawing on the Stark Pad.

After they had introduced themselves and Tony's babble had slowed a little bit Harriet had suggested that they move to the dining room for breakfast. Loki had gotten Sleipnir and joined them all for a family breakfast. Harriet had mostly let the conversation steer itself as Loki and Tony felt each other out and settled the more they figured each other out. After breakfast Harriet had them moved to the play room and Tony took over as he introduced the two new members to the wonders of TV and movies. Lunch was a less formal affair as they were in the middle of watching Star Wars and none wanted to leave the room. Harri had insisted on the dining room for dinner though before they went back and Tony proceeded to show Sleipnir video games as the Marauders and Loki traded pranking stories. They had ended up all dozing off in the play room to sleep the night through, much to the anger of their various house elves who woke them up the next morning for breakfast in the dining room once more. Once everyone had coffee in them (expect for Sleipnir, to his disappointment) they started talking about when the rest of the family would come together and soon Loki had brought up Bucky and his upcoming rescue.

Harriet had been keeping the identities of the rest of their family from Tony since she had first told him of their existence since she didn't want him to rush them so, hearing another name, Tony had latched on. Harri had caved, only because she was so close to rescuing Bucky and because she would have had to bring him in at the end of her burn anyway to get his expertise on Bucky's arm. So she had brought him up to speed on what she knew of Bucky's story and how he had fit into their family the last time. Loki had conjured up a double of him from Harriet's memory and, of course, Tony was immediately drawn to the metal arm. It hadn't taken long for him to want to make one and to ask if there was a way to see it in action.

Which led them to now. Harriet had gotten her father to pull her memories free for the courtroom pensive and then she had one of the house elves bring her the plans she had made up before her burn of the Hydra base she had found Bucky in. Now, she knew that Tony was listening with half an ear as he watched her memories of Bucky and the few times she had seen the arm off or opened up for maintence and she went through her plan with Loki.

"I can't believe Hydra is still around." Tony muttered when Loki was looking over the layout the base Harri had spread on the table.

*Oh their around alright.* Harriet said, hopping toward him. *We fight them a lot. More than Doom but he's a bigger pain than all of our usual enemies put together. Mostly because he refuses to do anything other than speak in the third person.* she ruffled her feathers in a fake shiver.

Tony look up from his Stark Pad and quirked an eyebrow at her, "You'll give me enemy names but not the names of our family?"

*Victor Von Doom is an asshole, feel free to go bother him. Maybe you'll eliminate him as a threat.* Harriet said, *Not that getting to destroy his horrible attempts at robots wasn't fun.* she tilted her head, *On second thought, don't mess with him too badly. I may need a little bit of the therapeutic destruction of Doombots.*

Tony chuckled as he turned back to the memory of the older Harriet sparring with Bucky, "Don't completely destroy him. Got it. I'll only destroy him a little bit."

"Harriet?" Loki called, Harri hopped back over to him quickly and she cocked her head in question, "Wouldn't it be more efficient to simply teleport in?" he tapped the circle that identified the gate, "Going from there will leave us open to many other factors that can interfere along the way."

"Us?" Sirius jumped in, "Does that mean you're coming on this mission with us?"

Loki blinked, "I'd like to. Is that a problem?" he looked to Harriet.

*You can come with if you'd like Loki. I didn't mention it because I didn't think you'd want too.* Harri reassured before looking over to her fathers, *I'm still not sold on you three coming though.*

"What?!" James exclaimed, "Of course we're coming!"

Harriet rolled her eyes, *It's been a really long time since you guys have been in any sort of field situation. Cap would make you sit out until he was sure you were ready.*

Remus frowned, "We're coming. No matter what your Captain would do."

Harriet shook her head, *Whatever.* she muttered, she turned her full attention back on Loki, *I didn't plan on any magical entry for several reasons. One, while I have basic layout of the base, they were smart enough not to write down what is where in there. We would be going in blind. Second, it has a greater possibility of us getting caught. Teleportation is silent but it has a bigger energy output to the right sensors and I don't want them managing to get our signatures. Apparition, what you once called cheap, lazy teleportation, has a lower energy output but that is countered by having the accompanying 'pop' sound. My flames are much to flashy for this and portkey's have the same going in blind problem. So unfortunately going in this way is the best option.* Loki mulled this over and eventually nodded his understanding, Harriet ruffled her feathers, *Once we get in and have Bucky, getting out will be the easiest. Last time Hydra hadn't managed knowledge of Midgardian magicals so they didn't know how to make antiapperation wards. We can come straight back to the manor.*

Again Loki nodded, "Where Tony and Sleipnir will be waiting to help with any injured."

This made Tony look up, "Excuse me? Where I will be waiting? I want to go!"

Harriet turned her head to look at him, *This is a stealth mission Tony. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but a red and gold two ton robotic suit isn't anyone's idea of stealthy.* she said lightly.

Tony huffed, "I could be stealthy." He muttered dejectedly, going back to the arm with an exaggerated pout. Harri hopped over to him and rubbed her head along his arm soothingly until he cracked and pet at her wings gently.

"Harriet." Came an airy voice, interrupting the phoenixes petting. Everyone looked to the doorway to see Luna standing there with Clint and Bruce's fully armored birds on her shoulders.

*Luna!* Harriet exclaimed happily, she took off and flew over to her sister with a pleased trill. Harri landed on Luna's outstretched arm and cocked her head at her, *I thought you would be here sooner!*

"Daddy was very excited about next year's trip. I was making sure he wasn't going to pack now." Luna said with a smile, "But the Nargles alerted me to some upcoming excitement so I tied Daddy to his desk while he was working on this week's Quibbler and came right over. When I was walking here I picked up Artemis and Villard."

Harri let out the sharp squeaks that was her laughter in this form, *I see. Well, welcome to our planning party!* she turned around on Luna's arm carefully so she faced the table of males, three of which were looking Luna over curiously, *Tony, Loki, Sleipnir, this is my little sister Luna Lovegood.*

All three birds took off from Luna as she bowed to Loki and Sleipnir, "Prince Loki, Prince Sleipnir. Pleased to meet you." She said formally with the same dreamy look on her face.

Both blinked in surprise but Loki recovered quickly enough, "A pleasure Lady Lovegood." He returned.

"Hi!" Sleipnir pipped up, not used to people greeting him.

Luna's gaze focused on Sleipnir, "Your hooves are looking very shiny today Prince Sleipnir."

Again, Sleipnir blinked but glanced at his finger nails before grinning, "Thanks!"

Luna inclined her head before looking to Tony, "Hello Tony Stark, genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, and Iron Man."

Tony's lips quirked before transforming into a full blown grin, "Hey there! I guess if you're Harri's sister that makes you mine too!"

Luna's smile widened a bit, "I would like that. It's been just me and daddy for the longest time. It will be nice having some siblings."

Harriet landed back on the table with the two other birds flanking her as Luna continued to converse back and forth with Tony, Loki, and Sleipnir. Harri turned to the two birds who each held a bit of folded up paper in their beaks, Harri took each paper in time for a house elf to appear with a bowl of water and six mice for the two tired birds. Harriet hopped a little bit away from them as they ate so she could focus on the first real communication she had gotten from her two brothers. She unfolded the first piece of paper, a rectangular piece of paper that looked to be ripped from a journal with worn edges all around, and began to read.

Harriet,

I'm still not sure if this is a good idea but I have a suspicion that you have already come in contact with the other guy because he doesn't seem at all wary when I think of you. If you have managed to earn the trust of him somehow then you can't be all bad.

I have finally contacted you because of what happened a couple days ago. The feel of the bracelet changed and had the other guy worried. Then a little bit later it flashed blue. He has been struggling to get out and go check on you. I will also admit to worry and a healthy bit of curiosity. Are you alright? I realize I wouldn't be much help all the way out here but if you have a way for us to communicate I may be able to give you some medical advice from here.

Bruce

P.S. Thank you for the potion things. They are very interesting. Could I have the formula for the blue one?

Harriet rolled her eyes fondly, of course Bruce would want the formula for the calming draught. She didn't know the bracelets would reflect what was happening near its counterpart so closely but she guessed that's what had happened, the change of feel would be her giving the bands to Sirius to hold and she assumed that the flash was her burning. That hadn't been too close to the bands but she had used a bit of her tears to give the little phoenixes their sparkle and to make the bracelets magic more tightly woven so she assumed that had helped.

"Harriet?" a voice interrupted, she looked up to see everyone looking at her worriedly. Tony was the one who had spoken though, "What's with the birds?" he asked.

Harri waddled forward a bit, *These are the birds I sent to two others of our family to give them companionship, an introduction to myself, and a way to contact me when they felt comfortable enough to.* Harri said, *With the first letter I sent them, I sent bracelets that monitor them so I can help if they're in danger or hurt and they can call me if they need me. Apparently the bracelets reacted to the change in the person wearing them and flashed when I went through my burn. They're just checking on me.*

"They felt the bracelet changing to me?" Sirius asked, he looked down at the bands curiously, "How?"

Harriet raised her wings in the best shrug she could, *I'm not entirely positive but those control bracelets do connect to the magic of the wearer to keep the person alerted to the situation on the other end. I just didn't realize that it would affect the bracelets on the other end.*

"Why do they get birds?!" Tony demanded, looking over at the two birds who were now perched on the back of a chair to rest.

"And why birds?" Loki asked, "They're interesting creatures but they aren't exactly what people think of when they want companionship. A cat or a dog maybe."

*The hawk was chosen for one of them because that person loves hawks of all kinds. The owl isn't exactly the other person's favorite animal but with the risks that person runs into and how he is currently traveling, an owl was the better choice. Plus they were meant to act as a first way of communication between the other two and myself.* Harriet said, *I didn't want to move too fast with the more instant communications.* Harri looked over to Tony, *And I didn't get you a bird because that didn't seem like a pet you would like. The wizarding world's mail birds are intelligent enough to take care of themselves mostly but even then they need some care. Also, I didn't really need to manufacture a way to communicate with you. I went slowly with you by contacting Jarvis first.*

Tony huffed, "Fine. I guess I couldn't really have a bird just flying through the lab whenever."

Harri nodded before going to the other paper, this one was just a blank sheet of printer paper, and opening it to read.

Hey!

If you're getting this, I guess Artemis really does know how to find you. I really have to thank you for her too, she's great! I should also thank you for the arrow multiplier and the miracle meds. Phil is always saying I should remember my manners so thank you!

I've actually been debating calling you to meet for a while but still wasn't sure, but after seeing you the other day and the bracelet acting up I thought I should at least check on you with this letter. Are you alright? Was it those Dursleys? I looked you up like you said I could and saw them. I'll come rough them up if you need me too. I don't know how their paying off those child service people but their shoddy records are ridiculous. I know you said they were being taken care of but I can be pretty scary if I need to put someone in their place. I might even be able to talk my friend into adding her presence, she's extra scary!

Let me know you're okay or I'll send another letter and follow Artemis!

Also….do you have a cell phone? I don't want to keep sending my awesome partner out on letter duty.

Hawkeye

Harri smiled internally at the note. Clint, at least, was getting used to the idea of her. If she gave him her phone number though, there was a good chance that she would get the shovel talk from Natasha and their handler via text or an actual call if they felt she was enough of a threat. It would be a great way to get in touch with them.

"Same things?" Loki asked.

*Yes, though this one seems to think it was my relatives who hurt me and caused the bracelet to act up.* Harri said, *He offered to threaten them for me.* she added with amusement.

"Still going to play the no name game?" Tony grumbled from his spot as he was putting the finishing touches on the arm design.

Harriet clacked her beak at him, *I'll compromise and use a couple of nicknames you used for them last time and see how far you get. That sound like a plan?*

"Bring it on throw pillow. Ow!" he exclaimed as she pecked at him, "Fine, not throw pillow. I'll come up with another nickname for this form!"

Harri rolled her eyes at him, *The hawk belongs to someone you called Cupid and the owl belongs to someone you called your Science Bro.* Tony looked extra curious at the last one.

"Harriet!" he whined, "You can't dangle a Science Bro in front of me and not tell me who they are!"

Harriet gave her squeaky laugh and was about to reply when a flash by the window drew their attention in just enough time for them to see a doe patronus jump through window and bound over to the table.

"Who's patronus is that?" James asked as Harriet hopped over to the edge of the table near the doe.

*Snape's.* Harri said shortly and James' jaw clenched, knowing what gave the potions master such a patronus.

The doe zeroed in on Harriet and stopped, "Your article created a stir. The Wizengamot demanded to see you and your living situation. Dumbledore put them off but found your house empty. The Dursleys ran. The Headmaster ordered me to find you. I'll hold him off as best as I can. How would you like me to proceed?" came the message from the doe before it quickly disappeared.

The room was silent for several seconds before Luna piped up, "Ah, this must be the upcoming excitement." Harriet snapped her beak harshly and disappeared from the table with a smaller amount of flames than usual, there was a small panic from the Marauders who shot to their feet before Harriet reappeared, with a box under her feet this time.

"Who are the Dursleys?" Sleipnir asked curiously.

*My relatives.* Harriet said with a slight growl from her mental voice, *They made my childhood a living hell. I warned them not to try and run.* she descended into low barely discernable mutterings as she awkwardly opened the box with her beak and pulled out a couple rolls of parchment before hopping over to Luna. The younger girl opened the first scroll without prompting as Harriet brought a talon to her face and biting into it hard enough to draw blood. She slammed the bloodied talon down onto the sheet and it glowed gold before disappearing. Luna and Harriet repeated the process with the second scroll just before Harriet's wound closed.

"What did that do Princess?" James asked hesitantly.

*One was a formal request for the goblins to capture the Dursleys for their standard fee. The second was the order for Griphook to seize any and all assets they have that can be used to pay back the debt they owe me, with interest of course.* Harriet said smugly.

"Remind me never to introduce you to Pepper." Tony muttered.

Harriet rolled her eyes at him, *Luna will you play secretary for a bit?* she asked, Luna smiled and nodded before calling an elf to bring her parchment and a quill. Harri hopped over to the Marauders, *Can you go to my room, get a couple of the extra journals I have under my bed, and hook them together so I can write back and forth to Bruce?* she asked Remus.

"Of course cub." Remus said with a smile before getting up and walking out.

Harri turned to her father and held out her wing, *Can you pluck a feather from this wing and weave a web of stasis spells over it?* James nodded solemnly and carefully plucked one feather, biting his lip when Harriet gave a slight squawk of pain.

"What about me pup?" Sirius asked, looking at her attentively.

*Um…can you call Hedwig?*

"That's it?" he pouted.

Harri gave a bird shrug, *Sorry Siri. I don't really have anything else that needs done at the moment.* Sirius huffed but let out the piercing whistle that would call the snowy owl down from the owlery.

"Who is Dumbledore? Isn't he the one you said was working with Thanos?" Loki asked with a frown, "And why is this Snape person trying to hold him off?"

Harriet turned to him, *He's not working with Thanos at this point. Dumbledore is the Headmaster of my school, but mostly he's a manipulative old man who is trying to use me. He is the one who put me with the magic hating Dursleys and paid them to abuse me worse than they more than likely already would have. He has also been stealing money from my vaults, dosing me with potions, set a bind on my magic, and a whole mess more. He's currently who I'm trying to take down.* Harriet forced herself to calm, not wanting to continue ranting to Loki who was still relatively new to this situation. *Severus Snape is my potions professor. He's working with me to take down Dumbledore and a Dark Lord who at this point, with the time travel and Dumbledore to put it in perspective, is more of a nuisance that I have to take care of rather than an actual threat.*

Loki blinked at the sudden influx of information before his eyes narrowed, "Am I to assume from your small rant that the 'whole mess more' is worse than stealing from you, having you abused, and binding your magic?"

Harriet thought to her child's death and the death of her mates all in an attempt to get to and kill her just to claim conquest rights for power, money, and knowledge, *Yes.* she said shortly, not dropping Loki's gaze.

He seemed to weigh the truth of her statement before he quirked an eyebrow at her, "What are you planning for him?"

*The slow and torturous loss of his long crafted image and reputation, humiliation, and loss of everything he holds dear before I kill him.* Harriet said without hesitation.

Loki's eyes lit with a fire that Harri had always associated with his crazy God act that she had thought was remnants of the time under Thanos' control. Apparently not. "He warrants such?" Loki asked lowly.

"And more." James muttered under his breath as he worked, Sirius nodded in agreement.

*Definitely.* Harriet answered. Loki didn't drop her gaze and Harri pushed a light impression of the anguish she had experienced over the death of her child into Loki's mind with a brief memory of the event that had left her and her mates so empty.

Loki tensed under the memory and his jaw clenched, "He was behind that?"

Harri nodded slowly, *As well being behind the deaths of the rest of our family and personally involved in four of them.*

Loki sat back and nodded, "Yes, he warrants what you have planned and more." Loki said with deadly calm.

Harriet nodded and hopped over to Luna who was sitting with parchment and quill at the ready now, *Ready Luna?* the blond gave Harri a salute with the quill before dipping it into the ink, *Alright, first one is to Skeeter. Write 'Rita, Our last article caused a stir. It seems that a certain Headmaster is trying to calm things down again. However, my lovely relatives have made a run for it. Now would be a most opportune time for you to discover my last residence at #4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging. Surrey, and draw a few more conclusion. Especially around evidence found in the cupboard under the stairs and the room on the second floor that has several locks on the door. Allow the public the truth at your quickest convenience. Play it how you wish but you will have the chance to interview me again before school so keep that in mind. Happy Writing, H. Potter'.* Harriet dictated, Luna wrote quickly and neatly before signing as Harriet without hesitation.

Tony watched this with a raised eyebrow, "This is a reporter?" Harri nodded and Tony let out a groan, "Pepper taught you that move didn't she?"

Harriet laughed, *Yep, she taught me all I needed to know to use the press to our advantage in case she wasn't around and we needed something quick.*

"Two Pepper's." Tony muttered, tapping through the plans for wiring Bucky's arm, "The world is going to burn."

"Nah, it will just be a little scorched." Luna said with a giggle as she rolled the parchment, sealed it, and wrote Rita's name on it. "Professor Snape next Harri?" Luna asked, prepping the next sheet of parchment.

*Sure.* Harriet said, she quickly thought over and ordered what she needed to say before starting, *Alright, put 'Severus, Thank you for the warning. We are putting things in motion to counter the old fool's current plans. You shouldn't have to hold him off long. By the time the next Rita article comes out they should be safely out of reach in the Goblin's custody. After that I'm sure he will still want to find me but his attention should be divided enough with trying to call off the politicians. Keep me posted. Harriet'.* Luna rolled and sealed that one pretty quickly before Harriet brought the two rolls over to Hedwig who had arrived seconds ago, *Hedwig, take these to Rita and Severus. You don't need to stick around for an answer, just drop and go alright?* Hedwig gave a hoot of understanding before taking the two rolls in her talons and flying off.

Remus came back in the room then holding two leather bound journals, "Alright pup, I have these two enchanted to be able to message each other. I didn't add the endless page charm but I did make sure that when you started running out of room, the oldest messages will disappear to make room."

*Thank you Moony. Dad, have you finished with my feather?*

"Yep, ready to go Princess! I even made sure to waterproof it." James said, laying the feather down next to Harri.

*Alright.* Harri opened one journal with her talon and carefully placed the feather inside before closing the book and carrying the journal over to Luna, *The Big Guy first Luna. Write 'Hey Big Guy, I'm sorry to worry you. I'm perfectly fine. I promise. I just didn't realize that your bracelet would act up when things on this end changed. I am part of a species that has a yearly time of renewal where I am out of commission. I transferred my bracelet counterpart to one of my trusted so that you wouldn't be without protection while I was out of it for this week. It should go back to normal once I am fully recovered from this. Yes, I contacted your other half. I am sorry for not mentioning it when I sent the potions. I only came to make sure that you weren't taken in or managed to injure any innocents as I know you worry about. I did get a chance to talk to your other half and was claimed as a sister so I can understand why he is worried. To make sure we can communicate and that you don't have to spend long amounts of time without Villard I have sent along a journal. Write in it and I will be able to respond in real time. I know you hate having a phone on you so this is the best I can do for now. I also put a feather in there. The scent should calm your other half. As for the formula of the calming draught, the making of it is a very delicate process. If we ever manage to meet in a laboratory I will teach you to make it. Stay safe, Harriet'.*

"We have a family member who doesn't like phones?" Tony asked horrified.

Harriet shook her head, *He doesn't want to be tracked Tony. He's being hunted by the government. When we bring him in and make sure that he is protected he will take a phone.* Harri said as she peered down at Luna's writing, happy that Luna had known to change 'Big Guy' to 'Bruce'.

"Well alright then." Tony huffed, "I won't live with people in the stone age."

Sleipnir snickered, "Wait until he meets Uncle Thor." He muttered to his mother, Loki smirked and Harri hid her break in her wing.

"It's ready Harriet." Luna called, holding out the rolled up parchment to Harri. The young phoenix took the roll and attached it to the journal with a light sticking charm just as Villard swept over to her eagerly.

*Take this to your Master, Villard. Keep the open end in your claws so that my feather doesn't fall free. Alright?* Harri said, nudging the book with the scroll over to the owl. Villard bowed to her with his wings spread out before grabbing his package and flying off. Luna had already prepared the final sheet with Clint's name at the top and Harriet's phone number on the bottom with a cheeky 'Call me' written above it. *Alright, now to respond to Cupid. Luna?* she nodded, her quill poised over the paper, *Write 'Cupid, I'm glad you like Artemis. I knew she would be the best choice when I was picking out your bird. The arrow multiplier and the meds were just to make sure you were safer and healthy. No need to thank me for those. I'm sorry I worried you but I promise that I am fine. Due to some parts of my biology I have to go through a yearly period of renewal where I am out of commission for about a week. The change in the feel of the bracelet was me giving it to one of my trusted so you wouldn't be without that connection if you needed it and the flash was the renewal starting. No need to worry. Once I'm recovered I will take the other bracelet back. The Dursleys are about to be permanently taken care of so no need to go intimidate them, though I appreciate the offer. Finally, don't feel rushed about deciding when to call me. I will wait. Feel free to text me though. Harriet'.* Luna hummed as she finished up and rolled the parchment up neatly. Harriet took it and hopped over to Artemis who was taking one last drink of water, *Take this to your Master. Continue to watch over him.* Artemis bowed to Harri like Villard had before flying off with the letter.

"Was that the last thing you needed to take care of Princess?" James asked.

Harriet nodded as she drooped a bit in place, *Yes, now I'm thinking about a nap. I shouldn't have flamed to get those documents earlier.*

"If you weren't ready to do so then no, you shouldn't have." Remus said sternly as he leaned over the table to pick her up gently.

Tony chuckled and stood up, "Well if you're going to nap I'm going to have Daisy to take me back home. I have enough to put together an arm for Bucky to use until I can get more precise measurements and readings."

"I should probably go untie Daddy." Luna mused softly.

Loki snorted at that but stood as well, "I am going to take a look at the library now." He looked at Tony and Luna, "I assume you two will meet up with us here the day after Harriet's return to her true form to enact this rescue?"

"You bet!" Tony said as Daisy appeared by his feet, "I'll have the arm ready by then. Don't worry! Bye!" Daisy popped him away.

"I'll be here to wait with Tony and Sleipnir." Luna said with a small smile; she walked over to Remus, rubbed at Harriet's wing, and cooed at the already dozing bird, "See you in three days big sister."

Two days after that found the inhabitants of Potter Manor in the playroom after dinner standing around a tall perch where a full sized phoenix Harriet sat squirming impatiently. "Stop moving pup. I can't measure your tail feathers if you keep this up." Remus said as he tugged on her tail feathers lightly, he took the measuring tape out again and settled the tip as close to her skin as possible before drawing it out to the end of her longest feather. "And….2 feet and a half inch!" Remus announced. James, Sirius, and Sleipnir cheered and Loki simply smiled.

All of them were forced back a couple steps though as the phoenix before them gave a happy cry and took off. They all shielded their eyes as light covered her form and she shifted to her natural form midair, Harri landed on her feet with her arms up and a huge smile on her face. "Yes!" she exclaimed, "It's good to be back!" With one swift motion she pulled her wand out and cast at Sirius who squawked in surprise as his hair turned to a clump of seaweed, "That's for taking pictures of me like that!"

James collapsed into laughter even as Remus hugged Harri and spun her around, "We missed you cub!" he pulled back to look at her with a lopsided smile before his eyes went to her hair, "Your hair has more feathers and blue in it now."

"What?" Harri exclaimed, she looked over Remus' shoulder as her father popped up behind him with a mirror, Harri plucked at the blue strands with a huff, "Damn, remind me to burn in my phoenix form next time. Hopefully it will go away."

"I kinda like it." James offered with a smile.

Harri burrowed into Remus' arms with a pout, "It doesn't go with my eyes." She whined.

"Pup." Sirius huffed, ignoring her hair problems for his own, "Make it go away!" Harri rolled her eye but slid from Remus' grip and switched his hair back.

Harri turned to Loki and Sleipnir who had been standing off to the side and held out her hand to Loki, "Pleased to meet you officially. I'm Harriet Rose Potter."

Loki looked amused as he gripped Harriet arm for the first time in the real world, "Prince Loki Friggason and this is my son Sleipnir Lokison. The pleasure is all ours."

As soon as Loki released Harriet's hand, Sleipnir threw himself at her and wrapped his arms around her waist, "Thank you for saving my mother." He murmured quietly.

Harri softened and wrapped her arms around him, "You're quite welcome Sleipnir." Loki smiled at the scene.

Sleipnir drew back and grinned at Harriet, "If you ever need a grand steed to make an entrance on I'll be there! No problem!"

Harri giggled, "Thanks. I'll keep that in mind." She took a step back and rubbed her hands together, "Now, I'm going to loosen the wards a bit so we can go for a run then we can come back in to get ready and rested for tomorrow's mission. You two want to come?"

"Yes!" Sleipnir exclaimed, changing to his horse form in his excitement and causing everyone around to fall to the floor with the sudden expansion. Laughter broke from the group on the floor.

Chapter Notes:

If the idiot had cast the magic detector, yes he would have seen faint signs from the Marauder retribution but when the aurors come along later to check his signature will cover up that trace. Meaning, he's going to have some splaining to do!

The monitor attached to Harri's life force will only tell Dumbledore is she is alive, dead, or close to death. Nothing more, nothing less.

Courtroom pensieves can view memories without someone having to go 'into' them. They are played on a screen. It's not cannon but I do see a lot of people use these sort of things in fanfictions. After all, if ALL of the Wizegamot was going to try and fit around that bowl to see a memory I'm sure it would be confusing not to mention crowded.

I wasn't positive if the Quibbler was a daily, weekly, or monthly but after considering the source, the competition, and such I decided on weekly and then special editions if need be.

I'll admit I completely forgot how far poor Artemis and Villard would have to fly to be going back and forth constantly. Then of course, Artemis is Clint's backup. So...I had to scrap that idea and go with the more instantaneous ways of communication now that they requested it and Harri feels better about not rushing them.

Tony has too many nicknames for people. *facepalm*

Dumbledore was behind the deaths of the rest of the family simply because he was one of the leaders of that side. Though he does share part of that blame with Thanos, the biggest part is on his shoulders.

Again, remember that Harri has a contract with Rita. She will only give interviews to Rita and Rita will write in her favor, if she doesn't then Harri will receive a hefty percentage of all Rita's earnings for any and all articles she wrote on Harriet and Harri will inform the Ministry of Rita's illegal animagus.

Villard and Artemis bow to Harri because of her status as a phoenix, Hedwig didn't because she's Harri's personal owl.

Abrupt ending I know but I didn't know how else to stop it.
