Harry Potter and his universe are the property of J.K. Rowling, and Warner Bothers. The Witchblade and her Universe are the property of Top Cow and TNT. Don Juan de Tenorio is the property of Don Jose' Zorrilla. I must now Tell you that I do not own the Avengers or any part their of them. They belong to BBC/BBC America .They have all the rights to these characters. This is a work of pure fiction. The named of persons living or death listed this work of fiction is purely by coincidental. Some later chapter may have an "R" rating to crime scene violence.

Authors Notes: The tower of the Princess in chapters 1-6 should be really called the 'Torre Del Oro." In addition, the name of the hotel that the Hogwarts tours should be Hosteria Del Laurel.

Ron looked at the envelope on the café table and return to look at the girl in the blue cloak. He then put his hand on the envelope and pushed it back to Juan. His eyes returning to the young woman he then for the first time in week's he smiled.

"Are you sure about this Ronald? If you are, I will tell you my story. First, I am a part owner of the Royals' Madrid soccer team along with the Madrid Royals' of the Euros League. I teach at the Royal School of Magic at or near ITALICA. Teach is probably the wrong title I am also the co-headmaster of the school. I teach Magical Law and Social Customs. Unlike you at Hogwarts, we have two headmaters and we do get a lot of input from the Muggle Government and our royals. The two women who you met the other night both are Ladies in Waiting to our Queen.

We here in Spain also live under Constitutional monarch. We have in England a King, Queen and our Prime Mister who knows about the magic in our worlds. King Juan Carlos does in fact know about our magic world and he is doing his best to right the wrongs of over six hundred years toward our people. The Spanish church however is moving more slowly. If it were the justice system, it still would be working on the Spanish highway robbery."

"The parliament just last month pardoned four hundred (400) witches or wizards for doing the same thing. In our cases only about 1 of them was really a witch or a wizard. And those who were witches or wizard escaped. In Fact they tell stories of witches or wizards who keep being caught; because it was so much fun for them to escape and be recaptured and retailed. William the Runner as he is known in our History Book it was said of him he was caught and escaped over sixty times. He did that so he said 'I wanted to make the system stop and look at just how foolish it was trying the same person a number of times. It looks' as if we need to make a trip to the English Bookstore or you will need to go to the Libreria Vertice. The latter is near University of Seville."

"I was never good at my studies at Hogwarts. I think we may be wasting our time and money trying to get me to study."

"Ronald there is studying and there is studying. You play chess don't you?"

"Sure do, I was best in the whole school."

"Have you every lost a couple of matches to watch and learn about your challenger."

"Sure, unless I can watch the other guy playing."

"Now what did you do when you last went to Dervish and Banges in Diagon Alley to buy you books""

"Mom, went to buy ours book if we didn't have one from the year before. We got one from the used book area. Later Herimoine took me shopping when she got her books and books…etc."

"So, most of the time you were dragged along with a couple of woman, who got the cheapest thing for you. Ok let look at just how this looked to the rest of the world and specifically to the other women who were there. Ok, when you mother took you, you were a mommy's boy, when Herimoine took you, you were hers. She took your mother place in the eyes of the other females. Where is the one place most of the woman in your life did not want to go with you to."

"The Quidditch shop and the chess players shop."

"What are you best at?"

"Quidditch and chess."

"Do you get my point?"

"You're saying that I am good because the woman were not there."

"What I am saying is in both these case they let you become what your best at. You were free to grow, learn, and make mistake because in both places you were you. Ronald Weasley and mom Molly Weasley little boy or Hermione Granger boyfriend. There you were Ronald Weasley the great chest player or you were Ronald Weasley the great Quidditch whiz. You understand what I am getting at. Even with Harry Potter you were number two."

"I think so."

"Ronald just how well did you do on your OWL's and you Newt's. Now tell the truth to yourself."

"In both cases, I just got by, And by the skin of my teeth in both cases."

"Ronald are you a betting man?"

"No, only because money was always tight around our house. And I ways lost."

"Ronald if I made you a bet, say I can get both your seniority in both you OWLS and you Newt's up to where you could enter a very good position, plus say, Two Hundred Thousands Gold Galleons at the end of one year; are you will to bet that I can?"

"Let me cut to the chase, you're going to try and raise both sets of grades. In addition, I can walk away with Three Hundred Gold Galleons no ties, no strings, not what or ifs. At the end of one year."

"I said 'Ronald if I made you a bet, say I can get both your seniority in both you OWLS and you Newt's up to where you could enter a very good position, plus say, Two Hundred and ten Thousands Gold Galleons at the end of one year; are you will to bet that I can?"

"Two Hundred and ninety Thousands Gold Galleons at the end of one year time.

Don Juan smiled; "let us both be men of the world and stop fighting like street people. Two Hundred and fifty Thousands Gold Galleons at the end of one year from today."

"Done you have my hand on it." Ron picked up his fruit knife and cut the pawn of his right. "You have my hand on it."

This was something that Don Juan had not bargain on Ronald was giving a wizard oath that he would do the entire thing that were asked of him; over the next year to improve the grades and particularly himself. Don Juan looked at Ronald. Picking up the lost fruit knife, he cut open the pawn of his right hand. "You have my hand on it." Ron looked in to the eyes of his new friend and teacher. He knew just then, what he wanted to do with the rest of his life.

"Ok, and my what ever God you pray to. May they help us in our hours of need? Now then, Ronald let us get hold of Headmaster Albus Dumbledore and tell him that you are moving to The Royal School of Magic and International Studies at Lebrija in Spain. In addition, have him or your Professor Snape forward all your things to our school."

"What happen to Professor McGonagall?"

"Ron she is …. No Ronald I will start out this on a sweet creative imagination like you are other teacher has done in the past. She was canned over what went wrong with Malfoy. She took the heat over the whole affair. You did not think that Albus Dumbledore would did you. He is playing a game with Fudge over who gets' the other one fired first."

"Just you wait until I get my hands on Draco Malfoy."

"Ronald, you worry too much. Draco is in a Spanish prison for the next four years. Severus Snape has gone to ground. Mac is doing just fine. I know that there are about fifty offers for job opening right now. She may not end up teaching in Great Briton for a couple of years. However, she is doing fine. Now, before I sent you off to explore this fine city. One on subject of magic in public; do not. Number two, think before you act. Then think again. Number Three, think before you act; then act fast and sure. Number four, only a life man can talk. Cold steel works best in a dark Alley. And remember that you cannot tell a good book by it's' cover art and reading a few pages. I would stay out of leading libraries' for a long time to come. Now here is a list of bed and things that you will need. You will have this weekend free. Then we must start on the new years project; namely you. So make the Most of it.

Mrs. Peel who had now returned from the magic dress shop of B&B shop for the courtesy of the finer things in life after ordering a number of new robes and other things. Mrs. Peel was returning to her new rooms when an older owl flew into the public room of the leaky caldron. She saw the ex professor and few to her. The owl landed on the foot of the stairs preventing Mrs. Peel from going to her rooms. "Well it seems that you have a message for me. Here be a good messenger and give me the message. The owl stuck out its leg and waited for the message to be removed. 'Mrs. Peel you're needed, Mother. I am still at the old address. You old job is still open more far better pay and better working condition' She smiled to herself as she read the note. It was from a good and trusted friend and former employer. "I guess that your' are not going to move until I answer this note are you?"

"HOOT, HOOT" was all the owl would say.

"Should I go there now?" Mrs. Peel asked.

"HOOT HOOT HOOT" was now the response from the owl as it begins to dance around the room.

"I take that as a yes." As she started toward the fireplace, the owl blocked the way the flue net work. "The way that you blocking me mean that you want me to go an other way." Old Tom walked and handed her a bottle of fine wine and a card. 'Follow the wise feathered friend. All will be explained when you get to mothers' house. Steed

After she read the card, she let her fingers twist and turn the card back and forth. "Tom look like the game has already started with out me. Make sure Winky and Mr. Moneymaker both have a good dinner and add the cost of their dinners on put on my bill. We will talk when I get back later Tom. I want to talk about some of the things that I started and done this day." Walking outside of the leaky cauldron, she found herself next to a large black sedan. The door opened and she got in.

"Good Evening, Mrs. Peel. It is so very nice to see you after so many years. And as always: Mrs. Peel is needed." There sat Sir John Steed. Senior adviser to the last four Prime ministers of Great Britain, Scotland, and both Ireland. The drive across London was just as fast tonight as it was years ago. Your townhouse across the city should be ready within the next week.

I am doing this story for fun; I am not trying to make money from it. Beside it would very hard to get money or blood from a turnip.
