Chapter 3: Gringotts and More
[Author's Note: In this chapter is the hidden surprise when you read it.]
After meeting Harriet's other friend, Ron; they headed to the Wizarding bank called Gringotts. As they making they're way towards the bank, they were receiving a lot of stares. It was even weirder, when they entered the bank because they received more stares and even the goblins were staring at them in shock.
No one was even more shocked the Lucius Malfoy at seeing the man and the woman with the Potter girl; he couldn't believe who he was seeing.
"Potter?"
Harriet turned to see the Malfoys approaching and she noticed that Draco's father looked a bit pale then she said, "What?"
"I thought you were gone?" Draco said.
"No, I was kidnapped by the Norse God of Mischief and Lies and was taken to New York, New York." Harriet stated.
Tony noticed as did Pepper and Steve that Harriet was probably going to make a scene. So, Tony intervened quickly by saying, "You're Draco?"
Draco looked at the man and said, "Yes, why?"
"Well, I have this rule about my daughter dating anyone that isn't her soulmate and if I didn't know any better; I say you were flirting with my daughter." Tony said sarcastically.
"I would never flirting with a commoner." Draco stated.
"Okay, but you see my daughter is worth more than blood purity because I love her for who she is and not for what Wizarding World knows her for. Also, you wouldn't be facing just me if my daughter didn't already have a soulmate; you would be facing her aunts and uncles and there's one Uncle that you wouldn't want to get angry." Tony said.
Draco looked at the man like he was crazy.
"And who would be this so called uncle?" Lucius questioned finally speaking.
"Is name is Dr. Bruce Banner and sometimes we call him, 'The Hulk' and you wouldn't like to see when he gets angry." Tony said.
This conversation continued for about thirty minutes or so between Tony and Lucius as the wives stood by their husbands. So, Harriet walked over to one of the goblin tellers followed by Steve. Harriet asked if she could speak with the accountant for the Potter Family as it was urgent.
The goblin nodded and immediately sent for another goblin to Miss Potter and the others to the Potter Account manager.
"Father, come on." Harriet said suddenly.
Tony turned when he heard Harriet called as did Pepper but before they joined their daughter and Steve; said to Lucius, "I'm not exactly sure to say about your son being a rival of my daughter at school; but I can assure you that I can and will find out if he hurts her."
"Is that a threat?" Lucius questioned.
"No, it's a promise." Tony said seriously then walked off to join his family.
Narcissa was surprised that James Potter or was he someone that favored James Potter; she wasn't really sure. She had to admit that the man was very serious when it came to Harriet Potter.
Moments later, Harriet along with her parents, and Captain Steve Rogers were brought before Griphook; who was in shock to see the two people that looked like the late Lord and Lady Potter. He had to admit when he gotten word from their American branch that he didn't want to believe it; but now he had no other choice.
"Miss Potter and Lord and Lady Potter and friend." Griphook greeted.
"Griphook, there is an urgent matter that we need to discuss." Harriet said.
"Indeed." Griphook said.
Tony looked at the goblin called Griphook and said, "I'm sure that you were informed what exactly happened and has been happening?"
"I have and I must say that this is a rare type of Magic that allows you and your wife channel the spirits of the late Lord and Lady Potter; plus, it is also allowing you to have their memories and that is why the two of have headaches after the possession." Griphook said.
"I guess that would make some sense." Steve suggested.
"Indeed. I am aware also that Miss Potter now as a duel citizenship and that her title is now, Lady Harriet Jayme Selene Potter-Stark along with her other titles which she will be able to inherit when she comes of age in the Magical World at seventeen unless somehow she end up emancipated before then." Griphook said.
They continued to talk and Tony asked about an inheritance test for so he could somehow help her out if she needed it.
Griphook nodded and said, " Miss Potter-Stark, if you please three drops of blood."
Harriet compiled.
In a few minutes, a parchment appeared an and everyone looked at it and on it said:

Soulmate
Master of the Mystic Arts, Dr. Stephen Strange (Sorcerer Supreme)
The list was huge from her vaults to the properties that she owned.
Griphook was stunned at who was the soulmate of Harriet Potter. Then he said, "The soulmate's name doesn't usually appear on here."
"If I may ask, what is a Sorcerer Supreme?" Steve questioned curiously.
"A Sorcerer Supreme is a powerful wizard but with Mystic Arts; he or she can travel to different dimensions. For the Sorcerer Supreme to have a soulmate is amongst the rarest things." Griphook stated.
"Why is the rarest thing for a Sorcerer Supreme to have a soulmate?" Tony asked curiously.
"Because Lord Stark, the Sorcerer Supreme lives his or her life in a different dimension each time that she or he dies in then he is reliving the same life in a different dimension; but should he or she recieve the gift of a soulmate then the soulmate shall live and go to the dimensions with the Sorcerer Supreme." Griphook said.
"If I may, you called Tony, Lord Stark...why?" Steve asked.
Griphook understood why this gentleman was asking this question and answered, "It is because they had the title before."
Steve looked confused as did Pepper.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, Mr. Griphook but the reason you are referring to Pepper and myself as Lord and Lady Stark is because we are the reincarnations of Lily and James so in a way; they were considered nobility." Tony said.
"You're correct, Lord Stark. While you and Mrs. Stark are reincarnations of Lily and James; the house of Stark has been blessed by Magic herself and has become an Most Ancient and Noble house because of your kindness towards Miss Potter in a sense." Griphook said.
Steve couldn't believe what he just heard but he guess that is sort of made sense in a way.
Then suddenly they heard, "BUGGER! THAT SON OF BITCH!"
Out of habit, Steve said, "Um...language."
"Sorry, Steve but I was just looking through the financial aspects of the Potters and it seems that someone is stealing from the Potter Vaults that had no right to access them!" Tony said upset.
"Who is it or was it, Tony?" Pepper asked.
"Too many names, Albus Dumbledore!" Tony answered, "Nobody! And I mean nobody stills from our children, Pepper!"
Harriet was surprised to hear that Dumbledore had been stealing from her.
"There's more." Tony said.
"Explain, Lord Stark." Griphook said.
So, Tony explained that before Griphook had taken over the Potter Family Accounts; that someone had allowed Dumbledore to still from the Potter Vaults.
Griphook was wasn't pleased and told
Tony that he would get everything back with interest and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"Well, what would any Mauder would do?" Tony said.
"Dad?" Harriet questioned.
"Hear me out, Princess." Tony said.
"Okay, Dad?" Harriet said.
"Pepper and I finally understand now. We resemble your parents because we are their reincarnations which most people don't believe in. In the Muggle World, some people resemble other people almost exactly." Tony said.
"Dad, are you suggesting that you use this to your advantage somehow?" Harriet questioned.
"You bet we are Kiddo, but we will still be going by Tony and Pepper because if I'm not mistaken, wizards or witches can only use that polyjuice potion, right?" Tony said.
Harriet just nodded.
"Well, Pepper and I already favor James and Lily, so why don't we act the part while here until you leave for Hogwarts." Tony suggested.
Harriet smiled a mischievous smile. In which Tony returned with his very own.
"Shit!" Steve said not having a good feeling about this.
Both Tony and Harriet turned towards Steve and said, "Language!"
Steve blushed from embarrassment.
Two hours later...
The Stark/Potter family came out of Griphook's office.
Everyone turned when they had come out; it was Draco who heard the man say, "Harriet, there's no telling how you're soulmate will react when you meet him."
"Dad, I am sure that you and Mum are soulmates because if you or Mum speak of each you or he end up sneezing." Harriet said with a smile.
"Oh? Then say your soulmate's name because wherever he is it may not affect him." Tony said slyly.
"Are you sure, Dad?" Harriet questioned.
Steve and Pepper looked between Harriet and Tony.
"Alright, my soulmate is none other than the Sexy Doctor Stephen Strange who I bound my soul with in the near future, so smote it be!" Harriet said with a cheeky grin.
Steve's eyes bugged, but Pepper giggled as she saw Tony's reaction to what Harriet said.
Meanwhile, back in New York at the Sanctum...
Dr. Stephen Strange was in the Sanctum library trying to figure out the writing on his arm; when he sneezed suddenly.
The cloaked tapped him on the shoulder and handed him a tissue.
"Thanks." Stephen said to his cloak taking the tissue.
Wong had just entered the library and saw Stephen take the tissue from the cloak and asked, "Are you ill, Stephen?"
"No, I came to the library to see what the library had on writing suddenly appearing on the wrist of a person." Stephen said.
"It would appear that you have a soulmate, Stephen." Wong stated.
"A what?!" Stephen said looking at Wong.
"A soulmate. Which is really rare for a Sorcerer Supreme. So, what's her name then?" Wong questioned.
The cloak made movements like it was laughing at Stephen's perdictiment.
Stephen gave the cloak a look and then answered Wong by saying, "Her name is Harriet Jayme Selene Potter-Stark?"
Wong heard the questioning in Stephen's voice. Then he noticed that Stephen had a peice paper in his hands and the words on it and he had read the words. Then suddenly, Stephen was engulfed in bright Magical light. When magical light died down, Wong was now face to face to what appeared to be a fourteen year old Stephen Strange.
Back in London...
Harriet sneezed.
"Princess, are you okay?" Tony questioned.
"Yeah, I think my soulmate tested out my name as I did his, Dad." Harriet stated.
"I am sure you two meet each other when it's time for you to then." Tony said with a chuckled.
"Unless fate has other plans." Harriet stated.
"True." Tony said.
Tony continued talking with Harriet has they made their way to the hotel that they were staying at until it was time to head for Platform nine and three quarters.
It was getting closer for them to head to Platform when a golden circle appeared before them and out stepped a man that could almost be passed as Superman well sort of. He also looked like he was fourteen somehow.
"Who are you, kid?" Tony asked picking up his coffee and took a sip.
"I am Doctor Stephen Strange and I am not really a kid; somehow I was reverted back to my fourteen year old self." The kid answered as another man came out from behind him.
Tony nearly choked on his coffee.
Both Pepper and Harriet were stunned.
"They let a fourteen year old become a doctor?" Pepper questioned.
Stephen sighed and said, "No and again, I am not a kid its more like a teen. I just don't understand how or why I reverted back to my fourteen year old self. Because last time I checked I was forty-two years old."
Then it dawned on Tony were his de-aging spell went that he had made secretly from James's memories without his daughter or his wife knowing.
Harriet looked at Stephen and said, "You were de-aged to the age of fourteen which is one year older than me because I just thirteen."
Stephen looked at the teenage girl that spoke and amazed at how beautiful she was with green eyes that could almost be the same as the time stone that he had been charged to protect. Then he asked, "May I have your name, Miss?"
"It's a very long name but its Harriet Jayme Selene Potter-Stark." Harriet said.
Stephen was in shock then fainted from the shock.
Harriet was worried and immediately stayed at Stephen's side till he came to.
Wong, Tony, and Pepper noticed this. Then Tony said, "Why doesn't Stephen attend Hogwarts as well that way, they can get to know each other until we can get Stephen back to his original age if we can.
"What should the letter say , Tony?" Pepper questioned.
"Well, it would say that Stephen attended a magical school in Tibet because his great uncle lived there and was raised their." Tony suggested looking at Wong.
Wong wasn't sure why Tony was looking at him when he said that.
Harriet suddenly spoke, "Dad, are you suggesting that Wong pretend to be Stephen's Great Uncle?"
Tony nodded.
Steve who had been quiet for awhile said, "Tony, are you doing this so Harriet and Stephen can get to know each other?"
"That's part of it but if you, Cap...Harriet had said that she would even train with her soulmate and the Mystic Arts are a branch of Magic."
Suddenly, it dawned on Wong and Stephen what Tony was getting at. Which they had to agree sound pretty good.
"If I may ask? How did you become Harriet's father?" Wong questioned.
Both Tony and Harriet froze because they had silently agreed never to bring up the incident with Loki in New York.
Finally, Harriet said, "Dad, we should trust them because they will be family." Harriet stated.
Tony nodded and began telling the story to Stephen and Wong which was pretty long.
