Chapter 5: Arriving at Hogwarts and Strange Things Begin to Happen
Several hours later...
The Hogwarts Express pulled in to Hogsmead Station and students began to disembark from the train.
Stephen followed Harriet and her friends to the carriages; he seemed surprised to see a type of hairless horse with wings at the front of the carriages.
Harriet noticed Stephen was looking at the front of the carriage and said, "Those are threshals. Only people who have seen death can see them."
"That's interesting." Stephen said.
"Yeah, well that's what Luna told me." Harriet said.
"Harriet? Stephen? Get in or you'll be left behind!" Hermione said.
Harriet and Stephen got in the carriage; however, it was just their luck that Pansy and Draco were joining them.
"So, Potter, I heard that you fainted on the train?" Pansy said.
Harriet was about to say something when Stephen said, "Miss, I suggest that you leave my betrothed alone or her adoptive father will indeed involve his lawyers. For you her adoptive father is very protective of her as am I. Her father has made it perfectly clear that he is upset with magical Britain already and her Uncle who is Captain America is upset with Headmaster of this school. "
Pansy blinked.
"Further more, it wouldn't surprise him should his highness, the Crowned Prince of Asgard and his brother would pay a visit to Hogwarts." Stephen said
Draco looked at Stephen and said, "You're not from around here. So, you don't know anything."
"Malfoy, Stephen has met more creatures and people than you have at his magical school in Tibet. He was and still is the top of his class. His great uncle wanted to see and study magic at a different school for once." Harriet said.
The conversation continued all the way to the castle.
Moments later, the enter the castle and Stephen had to wait with the first years before he could join Harriet.
That hat was done with his song but suddenly said:
The Founders knew of his existence.
Rare for him to come amongst us and rare that he has found love.
He comes when a greater force is at work than the Dark Lord.
We must join in the battle or everything could parish and be no more .
Time to step of the the past and into future for everything will depend on it.
Death has let two be reincarnated and they are not happy with our community and what we have done.
Everyone was stunned by what the hat had. The Professors were in shock at the hat's last statement.
McGonagall had called out several names then she called out, "Stephen Strange."
All the students watched as the new student that had transferred schools walk and sat down.
McGonagall placed the hat on his head and the hat quietly spoke to Stephen:
"Welcome to Hogwarts, Sorcerer Supreme."
"Thank you." Stephen said.
"We consider it an honor to have you here. Some of the Professors know of your existence while others consider you a myth."
"I see that, good sir." Stephen said.
"I assume that you'll be training your soulmate in your branch of Magic?"
"Yes and she has been training with the Avengers and her father who is Iron Man." Stephen said.
Several weeks later...
Hermione went to wake up Harriet and found her not in her bed. So, she went down to the common room to see if she already came down.
"Hermione..."
"Have you seen.."
"Harriet?" Fred and George asked in twin speak.
"No, I thought she already came down here." Hermione said.
"Wood is wanting the team down at the Quiditich pitch this morning." Angelina said.
"Maybe, Dobby saw her?" Ron said.
With a pop, Dobby appeared and asked, "Mr. Weaseley called Dobby?"
"Dobby, do know where Harriet is?" Ron asked.
"Dobby saw Harri Potter and her soulmate head out early this morning." Dobby said.
"Did they say what they were doing?" Hermione asked.
"Theys be saying they going to train bigger war be happening than that with the Dark Lord." Dobby said.
Everyone was stunned to hear that.
"Where did they go?" Wood asked.
"Quiditich pitch." Dobby said.
"Granger, get Potter's gear and follow us." Wood said.
Hermione nodded accioed Harriet's gear and followed them.
They made their way to the Quiditich Pitch.
At the Quiditich Pitch...
The team made it to the Quiditich Pitch and heard, "Again, Harriet!"
"Right, Stephen!"
The team entered the Pitch and were shocked to see what was going on.
Hermione dropped Harriet's gear and was shocked what she was seeing.
"Stephen! Behind you!" Harriet said.
"I see it!" Stephen said.
Professor Lupin and Professor Snape were standing watching everything as was a black dog standing next to Professor Lupin.
"Professors, what are you doing here?" Hermione asked.
"We were following Miss Potter and Mr. Strange because they asked for us to follow them." Remus said.
"What's going on?" Wood questioned.
"All we make out is that Mr. Strange is teaching Miss Potter magic that he learned in Tibet." Severus said.
Suddenly, the dog whimpered when it saw what Harriet was going.
Remus was stunned to see the dog sitting beside him and Severus; but then it clicked that it was Sirius.
Everyone was watching Stephen and Harriet because it was like they were in combat mode at the way they were dueling each other.
At that moment, the Slytherin Quiditich Team appeared on the field and was surprised to see what was going on.
"Again, Harriet!" Stephen said.
"Here it comes, Stephen!" Harriet said.
Back in New York at Avengers Tower...
Tony was down in his lab working on something for his eldest child since Pepper was pregnant and kind of working from home.
Jarvis alerted him whenever Pepper needed him or whenever Bruce had came into the lab on Pepper's orders to make sure that Tony was okay.
"Sir, are you alright?"
"I guess I miss having my Magical Princess around, Jarvis." Tony said.
"Sir, I believe she misses you as well."
Tony smiled and said, "Well, one day I'll have to walk her down the aisle and that means my little magical princess will be all grown up on me."
"Sir, I believe that will be sometime in the future. Also, sir, you call her Bambi at times as well."
"Yeah, well that's what her nickname was by her biological father and I can't take that from her." Tony stated.
"Then combine the two by calling her Princess Bambi. Instead of Magical Princess, sir."
Tony chuckled.
Moments later, Steve came to check on Tony at Pepper's request and said, "Tony?"
Tony turned and said, "Cap?"
"Pepper wanted me to make sure that you were okay." Steve said.
"I'm okay, Cap. I just miss having Harriet around is all." Tony said.
"Well, she'll be back when the holidays come." Steve said.
"That's what worries me, Steve. " Tony said.
"What do you mean, Tony?" Steve questioned.
"What if Dumbledore trys to stop her from coming home?" Tony questioned.
Steve realized that Tony was worried like a an overprotective father would be and he really couldn't blame him considering Dumbledore thought that he knew what was better for Harriet. Then Steve just had to ask, "What are you working on, Tony?"
Tony smiled and said, "I'm working on Harriet's Christmas gift."
Back at Hogwarts...
Things were getting a little strange (no pun intended). Stephen was with Harriet when they trained on certain days so it wouldn't coincide with her Quiditich Practice again. However, Stephen would notice that the teachers were very concerned or they were acting concerned but that Albus Dumbledore mainly. Stephen didn't really trust the man once he learned from the Starks that he is keeping things from Harriet and he didn't like it; of course, Harriet was like Tony in that way.
Stephen had seen Professor Lupin's reaction to the dog that was sitting beside him (Remus) when he first started training Harriet.
Then several days later, they encountered Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew was revealed. However, Peter Pettigrew escaped and Harriet along Hermione traveled back in time to save Sirius.
When Hermione and Harriet returned, Ron was completely confused except for Stephen. However, Severus came marching the Hospital Wing and accusations of Harriet which were somewhat true.
"Miss Potter, you'll be returning to the Dursleys." Dumbledore stated.
For the first time, Stephen Strange saw his soulmate do something that was like Tony Stark and said in a Tony Stark sort of way, "Oh? You didn't know? The Dursleys are no longer my guardians because their in jail for abuse and Dudley is in Juvenile jail. Besides, my new guardians adopted me and I have been learning the family business and I have also been training."
Dumbledore and Fudge were stunned.
McGonagall was stunned and said, "Miss Potter, you will be returning to the Dursleys."
Harriet looked at McGonagall and the others and said, "It's Miss Potter-Stark. I believe the lawyers would love to hear how I am being forced against my will to be returned to child abusers who are in jail."
Stephen knew right then that this wasn't going to end well. So, he quietly made a portal to bring Tony to Hogwarts immediately.
"L-Lawyers?" Fudge stuttered.
"Also, should my father be called...I believe him several of friends would come with him." Harriet said.
"No need, because I heard everything, Harriet." A male voice said.
Everyone turned to see a man standing there when Stephen's cloak moved suddenly and they wondered where he had come from.
"Dad?!" Harriet said.
"Hello, Princess. It's funny that I was in my lab and suddenly a golden ring appears then I hear a conversation that I don't like." Tony said.
"How did you get in here?" Minerva questioned.
Tony looked at McGonagall and said, "Minnie, really? I'm a Mauder, a prankster and you of all people should know that I always find a way."
Minerva gasped.
"L-Lord P-Potter?" Fudge stuttered.
"In the flesh, well sort of." Tony said.
"James, why do you seem so dirty?" Minerva questioned.
Tony grinned and said, "That's because I've possessed my reincarnation once again and let me to you; he and I are alike in someway and someway we are different. You see, he's an inventor, a billionaire, a former playboy, genius, and CEO of Stark Industries. Which by the way, Harriet will be taking over along side her sister."
Harriet blinked at hearing that she was going to have a little sister.
Dumbledore was shocked to hear this and said, "This can't be real?"
"Oh, believe me it's real, old man. I assure you that the prophecy that involves my daughter will be completed but she's will be getting the training she needs for the battle; plus, there's something far more worse than Voldemort coming; that the Sorcerer Supreme himself has to get involved with it." Tony said.
"Sorcerer Supreme?" Fudge questioned.
"Yes, the Sorcerer Supreme and he's not exactly happy to get involved with any of this; but what choice does he have. Oh and before I forget, Albus...Captain America says that he's very disappointed in the man that he thought he knew." Tony said as he went back through portal and let close behind him.
Minerva looked absolutely pale and said, "Albus, there are quite few witches and wizards that are aware of the Sorcerer Supreme and if he's getting involved then this must be something that will effect the entire Universe."
[Author's Note: I would like apologize for my goof up in chapter 2 in Mauder's Green Lily. I wasn't aware of it. Also, I might do a time skip or two. I don't know yet. So please bare with me.]
