Becoming Tony Stark's Daughter and Lover To Hawkeye

By: kpron2008

Anthony Edward Stark had a very unusual childhood considering that he was a very wealthy man. However, he was in London of all places and he was seeing people dressed in strange clothes. He saw this all day long and wondered what was going on; but later that night, he stumbled onto something that he wasn't exactly expecting.

He watched as an old man and a woman walked up to a house and placed a small pink bundle that he assumed was an infant on a doorstep. He was appalled that someone would do that to a baby girl. He watched as they disappeared instantly; he walked up to the doorstep and picked up the bundle.

He wondered if these people would even care for the little girl or not; but he wasn't taking a chance on that. So, he made his back to London and entered a strange looking pub called the Leaky Cauldron.

"Hello?" Tony said.

"Hello, how may I help you, sir?" The man said.

"Um...can you help me? I need get a few things for this little one." Tony said.

Before the man could answer, someone said, "Tom, this gentleman and the little one will be coming with me to Gringotts."

"Of course, Griphook." The man named Tom said.

So, Tony holding onto the baby girl followed the creature that looked like it belonged in a fairytale. As he followed the creature; he was amazed to so many things that belonged in fairytales and he noticed that some of the people were dressed like him and others were dressed in what appeared to 16th century clothing from what he could tell.

Then they finally reached a beautiful building which had been their destination. Once they entered, the building, he was getting strange looks from everyone. The goblins though, took notice that the man was protecting the bundle in his arms as if the little one's life depended on it.

Finally, they made it to a room and the creature known as Griphook sat down at the desk while Tony sat across from him.

"Lady Magic informed us that a Muggle picked up the Heiress Potter. May I ask how you came to have her, good sir?" Griphook asked curiously.

Tony explained everything to the creature including how he ended up finding the pub. When Tony finished telling his story, the goblin was horror struck that Albus Dumbledore had left Heiress Potter on the doorstep of number four private drive when it was against Lord and Lady Potters' wishes in their wills.

"Sir, if I may have your name, please?" Griphook asked.

"Anthony Edward Stark or Tony Stark for short. Am I in trouble?" Tony questioned.

"No, Mr. Stark but we goblins noticed how you protected the young Heiress and I was wondering if you would like to blood adopt, Ms. Potter and make her your daughter." Griphook stated.

Tony was stunned and said, "Is that even possible?"

"It is and we'll even open a vault with the Stark name on it and combined the Potter Vaults with it. You will be her legal guardian in both Muggle and Magical Worlds since you will be her father." Griphook said, "Also, you may give her a new name but only we will know who she is."

"I would love to adopt her the Magical way and I like the name Phoenix Jasmine Stark but for short, I'll call her Nix." Tony stated.

"Phoenix will be the perfect name for her, Mr. Stark considering in a way, she'll rise from the ashes with you as her father and guardian." Griphook said.

Tony smiled.

"Also, the Stark name will be made into an Ancient and Noble House because of what you've done; Mr. Stark because you have shown a great kindness to a Magical Child. So, you'll be known as Lord Anthony 'Tony' Edward Stark" Griphook stated.

They continued talking and got ready to do the blood adoption. Once everything was finished, Tony was able to leave with his little Nix and headed straight back to his hotel.

When Tony arrived, Happy was shocked to see his boss holding a pink baby blanket. He wondered where his boss got the baby, but he saw his boss smiling at the little girl. It was an actual genuine smile on his boss's face.

"Tony?" Happy questioned.

"Hm?" Tony said.

"I see that you have baby." Happy said.

"Yes, this is my daughter, Phoenix Jasmine Stark; Nix for short though. I know what you're thinking, Happy. However, her actual parents were murdered last night on Halloween and I couldn't leave her. Even though, I lost my parents when I was older; I know that I'm terrified of being a father but for this little girl, I would brave that fear for her." Tony said.

"Very well, boss and little miss." Happy said with a smile.

Tony grinned and said, "I know Pepper will think that I did something rash and I did it for Nix and not myself."

"Sir?" Happy questioned.

"Nix is my heart and I'll do anything for her." Tony said.

Happy was surprised by what he had just said and he wondered how Pepper would feel.

Tony chuckled as he strapped Nix in her seat since they were leaving England and heading back to America in Tony's private jet.

Suddenly, Tony's phone rang and he answered, "Hello?"

"Tony, when are you returning?"

"Today, but I am also bringing my little girl." Tony said.

"You have a little girl, Tony?"

"I adopted her, Pepper. She's only fifteen months old and lost her biological parents on Halloween night. I couldn't let her go to an orphanage." Tony said.

"My gosh, Tony! Well, I guess I better baby proof your home and get some baby things. I have faith that you'll a great father to her."

"Thanks, Pepper." Tony said and hung up.

"Papa?" A little voice said.

Tony was startled but looked to see Nix awake and said, "Hello, baby girl. Did you have a good nap?"

"Papa, luv you." Nix said.

"I love you too, Nix." Tony said.

Happy heard the exchange and he was surprised that the two were already acting like father and daughter.

They finally made it to their destination and boarded the jet to go home.

Several months down the road...

When Phoenix had turned four years old; Tony ended up being kidnapped in Afghanistan and became Iron Man.

When Phoenix had turned eight, the incident in Monaco happened and her Father and Ms. Potts finally got together. Which she was happy about because now Pepper was really her mom now.

Now, Phoenix was ten getting ready to turn eleven and her Father as well as her Mother wanted to speak with her.

"Dad? Mom?" Nix said.

"In here, Nix?" Tony said.

Nix walked into the parlor and then suddenly, everyone popped out and said, "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NIX!"

Nix was definitely surprised and she was surprised to see Fury, Agent Coulson, Natasha Romanov and a gentleman that she didn't know.

Just then, an owl flew through the window and dropped a letter in Nix's lap which surprised a few people.

Nix looked at her father and he nodded for her to go ahead and read out loud:

Dear Ms. Stark,

You've been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Phoenix continued reading the letter for everyone to hear and she finished; she saw everyone's reaction to what she read.

Then Fury said, "Ms. Stark, S.H.I.E.L.D. is aware of who you really are and we've trained you in the Muggle ways of defense. However, we do understand Tony did what he thought was right but you realize that they may see you as Harriet Potter?"

"I understand that which is why I'll correct them everytime and if you think about it; you all prepared me for what is to come in the Magical World really and Agent Romanov, I think your friend may have encountered a witch or wizard on his mission." Nix said.

"What makes you say that?" Natasha questioned.

"Well, I detected a magical signature on him and he seems to look younger than older." Nix stated.

The man blinked at the young lady who just turned eleven and said, "How is that possible?"

Tony was surprised that Nix was able to detect a magical signature and he found himself able to detect it as well and looked at the guy said, "The Magicals can blend in the Muggle World and it is possible that you bumped into one of them without realizing it."

"Tony, what are you and Nix suggesting?" Pepper asked.

Tony and Nix explained their theory of what had happened to the gentleman. When they finished explaining their theory; everyone was stunned by what Tony and his daughter, Nix were saying.

"What's your name, sir? If you don't mind me asking. " Nix said.

"Well, my name is Clint Barton aka Hawkeye. Sometimes, I am called Agent Barton. So, please excuse me if I find this hard to believe." Clint said.

"I understand that because it does seem hard to believe. Dad and Mom were always soulmates and didn't realize it until the whole Monaco incident when I was eight years old. I can also understand that it's hard to believe your soulmate could be eleven years old." Nix said.

Tony and Pepper blushed a little bit at what Nix said as well as surprised.

Everyone was surprised to hear that about Tony and Pepper; but they seemed happy for Tony and Pepper though because them both of them were raising Phoenix together and it may have brought them closer to each other. They also seemed surprised that Stark's eleven year old daughter was Clint's soulmate.

After they finished talking; they all had cake and ice cream. Then Nix started opening their presents and Nix enjoyed each present from each person as well as Clint's present which was a bow and a quiver; in which, Nix smiled and thanked everyone.

Tony noticed that Nix seemed to look at Agent Barton's gift and he had feeling that she may upgrade the gift before she left for Hogwarts on September 1st.

A month later...

The Stark Family was at their London residence and decided to go ahead and get Phoenix's things for school and probably a few other things.

The Stark Family entered Diagon Alley and as soon as The Stark Family started walking; Muggle-borns gasped at seeing them in Diagon Alley because it was shocking seeing Tony Stark and his daughter, Phoenix Stark of all places.

Tony and his daughter, Phoenix was aware that the Muggle-borns and their parents were staring at them; but they didn't care and continued walking towards Gringotts to get some gallons in order to get Phoenix's things for school. As well as a few other things as possible.

Once they reached Gringotts, they entered and went to the very first available goblin in order to make a withdrawal from the Stark Family Vaults.

Moments later, they exited the bank and headed to the shops that were a requirement for the supplies. Then they headed to the wand shop. Tony asked the wand maker how much a custom wand would cost.

The wand maker told him the price and Tony paid the wand maker for a special custom wand. The wand maker was completely stunned the wood was cherry wood, the inner part of wand was going to be a Phoenix's feather, a Basilisk's fang, and something that was completely unique that he had never thought of. So, he got to work on the custom made wand.

While, Tony and his daughter went to get her other things before they returned to get her custom wand.

Moments later, they returned to pick up Phoenix's unique wand and Tony decided to buy Phoenix a wand holster to carry her wand in and also had a Phoenix and a Hawk inscribed on it. When Phoenix saw was inscribed on the wand holster; she giggled because the Hawk reminded her of Agent Barton.

After, they got everything; they headed back to their London residence and Tony as well as Pepper helped Nix pack her things.

Tony was amazed at how spacious the trunk was when they entered the magical trunk; so Nix could have all her books in one section of the trunk. As well as some other sections for more storage; well, there was also a living space which had three rooms. One room was a bedroom, another room was for doing potions, and the last room was where Phoenix decided that she would be able to contact her parents if she didn't want to use her owl too much as well as her very own Tech Lab while she was away at Hogwarts. She could also add another that could hold her weapons and inventions; which she decided to do before she left.The first weapon that she had put in that room was the bow and quiver from Agent Barton.

"So, is that everything, Nix?" Tony asked.

"Yes, Dad. Each room has it purpose in the living space section of the trunk. Also, Iabeled each section outside the living space because I won't allow anyone the living space. Also, I put a keypad on each of sections." Nix stated.

Tony smiled and said, "That's my girl."

Pepper was amazed at how a trunk could have all this and more. She smiled at Nix and said, "We'll miss you until we see over the holidays."

"Dad? Mom? Thanks for everything and just so you know that even though I didn't know my real parents; you two have always been my parents to me." Nix said.

Both Tony and Pepper hugged Nix and she returned the hug.

Then they went to bed in order to get to King's Crossing train station tomorrow morning.

The Next Morning...

Tony and Pepper woke up thanks to the alarm that Jarvis had set. Pepper and Tony dressed and ready.

"Jarvis, is Nix up?" Tony asked.

"Ms. Stark has been up since four-thirty this morning, sir."

Pepper and Tony were stunned that their daughter had been up that early. Then Pepper asked, "Jarvis, where is Phoenix?"

"Ms. Stark was in her trunk then she was out and went to the kitchen."

"Thank you, Jarvis." Pepper said as her and Tony made their way to the kitchen.

When they entered the kitchen; they saw Phoenix eating breakfast but also looking at an extra book that she had bought at Diagon Alley, yesterday.

"Morning, Nix." Tony said.

"Good Morning, Father and Mother." Nix said not looking up.

"Nix, what exactly are you reading?" Pepper asked.

"I'm reading on how to identify certain potions." Nix said.

"Oh?" Tony said.

"Yeah and I think I know why Agent Barton looks young than he really is." Nix stated.

That got Tony's and Pepper's attention real quick.

"And?" Pepper questioned.

"I think Agent Barton was doused with a de-aging potion by the witch or wizard that he encountered because they could have sensed that he was older than his soulmate." Nix stated.

Tony and Pepper was stunned to hear that but in a strange way that would make sense.

Meanwhile, at S.H.I.E.L.D...

Clint felt weird and went to rest for a while after working out in the gym. However, he couldn't shake a feeling after what Tony Stark's daughter had said about him bumping Into a witch or a wizard. He had to admit that Tony's daughter was going to break hearts because of how beautiful she was. However, it had been more shocking to learn that he was her soulmate.

And it was his first time meeting the young lady; but he had heard Natasha talk about her and said that she was just like her father in some ways and some ways she was like Tony's girlfriend, Pepper Potts.

Clint chuckled to himself as he thought about if he and Phoenix were close in age; and how Tony Stark would react to him wanting to date his daughter.

Little did Clint know that his heart's desire was about to become a reality as he rested for a bit.

In the debriefing room...

Fury was talking to Natasha and Phil about Phoenix Stark and thinking how someone could travel with her in order to learn about the prophecy that hung over Ms. Stark who was formly known as Harriet Potter.

After a few minutes of the discussion; they heard a scream of what sounded like terror or shock. So, Fury, Natasha, and Phil came running and saw it was one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s doctors.

"What is it, doctor?" Fury questioned.

"It's Agent Barton, he looks like he's twelve years old." The doctor answered trying to calm down.

"WHAT?!" Fury, Natasha, and Phil said in shock.

Natasha looked in Clint's quarters first and was shocked to see a younger Clint around twelve years old and said, "Clint?"

"Yeah?" Clint said followed by, "WHAT THE HELL?!" when he looked into the mirror in the bathroom.

Fury and Phil heard that which meant that Clint was in shock. So, they walked in and was themselves stunned by what they saw. Clint was a lot shorter than he was before when they had left Stark Tower.

Phil blinked then he recalled what Phoenix Stark about Clint looking younger. Then his phone began to ring, so picked up and said, "Hello?"

"Phil, it's Pepper and Tony."

"What can I do for you, Ms. Potts?" Phil asked.

"Nix, was looking through a Potoins book that tells you a lot about certain potions and she possibly found a potion that Mr. Barton may have come in contact with."

Phil's eyes widen in shock and asked, "What potion from the Magical World could it be?"

"It may be an de-aging potion and Tony's looking through the book to see if they can find an antidote for the de-aging potion while Happy is driving us to King's Crossing train station right now."

"Would Phoenix mind having a bodyguard who could go undercover as her boyfriend as well if Tony is okay with it?" Phil asked.

Pepper didn't answer but Tony did, "Agent Coulson, who would you be sending?"

"We would be sending Agent Barton." Phil said.

"Isn't he old enough to be a teacher?"

"Stark, your daughter was right about the de-aging potion and Agent Barton has been de-aged to the age of twelve years old." Phil stated.

Tony sighed and said, "I don't see a problem with him being her bodyguard and boyfriend; but he can do the boyfriend who acts like a bodyguard in front of the others."

"Good, we'll meet you there and we'll come up with a background story for Clint." Phil said.

"Okay, see you two there."

Phil hung up and then spoke to Clint by saying, "Clint, you will be going to Hogwarts with Phoenix as her boyfriend who's very protective of her at times."

Clint nodded and asked, "Is Tony okay with this?"

"He is because he believes that you can keep her safe or stay close to her." Phil said.

"And when you can; give us a report because we believe the Wizarding World of Britain will try something with Phoenix since she no longer goes by Harriet Potter because Tony changed her first name when he adopted her but kept her middle name then took the last Stark." Fury said.

"Will do but I don't have magic." Clint said.

Moments later, Phil arrived with Clint at King's Crossing and met up with the Starks; after they had to figure out how Clint would pass as a magical.

"So, how do we catch the train?" Clint asked curiously.

"We walk between platforms nine and ten, Hawk." Nix stated.

"You do know that's a wall right, Nix?" Clint said.

"Yeah but leave it to the British Magical Community to hide the entrance where people would see other people run into a wall like a joke or something." Nix said

The Starks followed by Phil and Clint took a running start and passed through the barrier. Phil and Clint were amazed at what they were seeing as was Pepper considering Tony had already seen the British Magical World when he made the decision to adopt Phoenix.

When the Starks stepped foot on the Nine and Three-quarters platform; almost every Muggle-born and their parents were stunned to see them here of all places.

Both Clint and Nix boarded the train after saying goodbye to Nix's parents and Phil. Then they went to go find a seat.

On the train...

Clint and Nix found an empty compartment and sat down next to each other.

"Nix, are you sure that you're okay with this?" Clint asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine with it and I can understand Fury's concern as well." Nix said.

"Really? I mean you're okay with me acting as your boyfriend? I'm still a little bit shocked to know that we are soulmates." Clint questioned.

"Yes, plus we get to be friends as well. Also, I was thinking what if the witch or wizard knew whose soulmate you were and the de-aging potion was used in order for you to not feel awkward about having an eleven year old as your soulmate?" Nix said, "Also, we have to act the part as well."

Clint chuckled and said, "I guess that would make sense, Nix."

Just then, a couple of twin red heads entered their compartment.

"George, did we walk in on something?"

"I don't know, Fred?"

Phoenix smiled and said, "Clint?"

"Yes, Phoenix?" Clint said.

"Can you hand me my purse?" Nix said.

"Sure, sweetheart." Clint said handing her her purse.

Nix took her purse from Clint and opened it. The twins watched as the most girl talked about by muggle-borns take something out of her purse and placed it on her wrist.

"Is that a watch?" Clint asked.

"Sorta. Dad and I were working on this; he asked me to test it out." Nix said.

"What's it supposed to do?" George asked.

"You'll see." Nix said as she pressed a button.

Fred and George gasped as what appeared to be a ghostlike image to be coming out of what the girl was wearing on her wrist.

"Nix?"

"Hi, Dad." Nix said.

"I take it that it works because you did say that we should test it out. I didn't know you were planning to test it once you left the station."

"Well, at least we know it works, Dad?" Nix said.

" True. So, who are the two redheads behind you and Clint?"

"I believe their names are Fred and George. I don't know their last name." Nix said.

~ Time Skip to Fourth Year ~

Nix and Clint both knew that her father hadn't exactly been happy about what happened in their first and second year at Hogwarts; nor was he happy about what happened in their third year as well. However, he planned to get Sirius Black a trial in America since the Magical Brits wouldn't listen to the truth.

Clint and Nix were now back at Hogwarts for their fourth year well it was really Phoenix's Fourth year but Clint liked to say it was their fourth year like he did when Phoenix first started Hogwarts and he went with her; even though he was a year older than her due to the de-aging potion.

Plus, in years 1-2; they had managed to get scolded by Tony and Pepper; but in year 3, it was kind of lax. Considering, he and Nix along with the youngest Weaseley boy and Granger girl found out the truth about Sirius Black and more. Also, Nix had secretly given Sirius her address in New York and told him to speak with Tony and Pepper as he recalled.

Clint couldn't help but admit to himself that he was really falling for Phoenix Stark and he wondered if it was because of the de-aging potion or was he naturally falling for her.

"Clint?" Nix said.

"Hm?" Clint said.

"I think that I better be prepared for anything because I'm getting this weird feeling that something might happen." Nix said worriedly.

Clint nodded and smiled because Tony along with Sirius Black drew up a marriage contract between them; which would void anything Dumbledore tried.

Just then, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny walked in.

"Harriet, why is everyone still calling you, Phoenix Stark when your name is Harriet Potter?" Hermione questioned.

"Not this again, Granger." Nix said.

Suddenly, Draco Malfoy opened the door with his entourage behind him and said, "Stark?!"

"Yes, Malfoy?" Nix said.

"What do you do over the Summer Holidays?" Draco asked curiously.

Nix Smirked and said, "I train with my betrothed, Clint Barton and I also help my father at Stark Industries. Plus, my Father and I help the Magical Communities in America and have the backing of MCUSA. I can only assume that you really wish to know how I get to King's Crossing in time to catch the train since I am from America?"

Draco nodded.

"We arrive by private jet in August then we head to our London residence and spend time there for a bit at the first part of August then we head to Diagon Alley for the rest of month because my father does some business with one of the apothecaries there because some of the American Magical apothecaries don't have some of the ingredients that British Magical apothecaries have; then we buy our school supplies." Nix stated.

Draco went wide eyed at hearing this.

"Stark, how do you put up with Granger and Weaseley calling you, Harriet Potter?" Pansy asked curiously.

"I'll admit that it does get annoying but it's not bad yet; to a point to get the Stark lawyers involved." Nix stated.

"Harriet, stop this at once!" Hermione screamed.

Fred, George, Percy, and Seamus heard this as they walked by the compartment.

Seamus couldn't believe Slytherins were talking with Stark but he heard what Hermione say what she did; he spoke saying, "Granger, I wouldn't do what you're doing."

"What do mean, Seamus?" Ron asked.

"Stark here has of what Muggles call 'Net Worth' of 170 billion dollars since she's Heiress to Stark Industries as well as Stark Tower." Seamus said.

"What exactly does that mean, Finnegan?" Daphne asked.

"It means that her family is the most richest pure blooded family in America that works with both Muggles and Magicals, Greengrass. They are also one pure blood family that you don't want to double cross or get on their bad side." Seamus stated.

Fred, George, and Percy were in shock.

Nix sighed and said, "Clint?"

Clint looked at Nix and said, "Yes, love?"

"I'm starting to wonder if I'll have a normal school year because people assume that I'm someone that I'm not." Nix said.

"Probably not, love." Clint said.

They continued to get visitors from time to time at their compartment; however, Ron thought he had gotten rit of everyone but Neville along with Luna was sitting there.

"Neville, what are you still doing here?" Ron said.

Before Neville could answer; Nix said, "Who in the same hell do you think you are, Ron Weaseley?!"

Clint knew what was about to happen and hung his head because Nix's anger was just like her mother, Pepper Stark and apparently her biological mother as well but with the brilliance of her father and the mischievous nature of her biological father.

Neville flinched.

"Harriet, we've been sitting with you and Clint the last three years." Hermione said.

Suddenly, Nix dialed a number on her watch and a image popped up which surprised everyone except Clint.

"Agent Coulson, here?"

"Hello, Phil." Nix said

"Ms. Stark , this is a pleasant surprise."

"Phil, I don't know if Dad is there or at the company but is the tracking device installed in case something happens this year?" Nix asked.

"Yes, it is and Agent Gray eyes will be able to see you soon."

Nix giggled and said, "Thank you, Phil."

"Agent Gray eyes says hi and be careful or both him and your Father will have the Magical lawyers after a certain Headmaster. Also, Fury and myself will be there as well, Ms. Stark."

"Thanks, Phil." Nix said.

"You're welcome, Ms. Stark."

"How is that possible?" Hermione asked.

Suddenly, George and Fred came back in the compartment. They looked at Nix and recognized the watch that she was wearing.

"Nix, isn't that the same watch you had in your first year?" Fred asked.

"It is and Hermione was just realizing that it actually works." Nix stated.

"Really?" George questioned.

"Yeah, Nix had to contact Agent Phil Coulson to make sure the tracking device was still installed." Clint said.

Fred looked at Phoenix and asked, "How many times were you kidnapped again?"

"Well, I was kidnapped more than most rich kids were considering I'm the daughter of Tony Stark aka Iron Man. Of course, that's when I was really young." Nix said.

Neville was shocked to hear that.

They continued talking but Neville could tell that Phoenix was not happy with Hermione and Ron were still trying to call her Harriet Potter.

A few moments later...

They arrived at Hogwarts and everything was situated. When they entered the Great hall that evening; Nix decided to record everything that was going on like she had promised her father and others.

However, Hermione and Ron had reported to Dumbledore everything that happened on the train earlier that day. Dumbledore had been shocked that Ms. Potter, who still says that her name is Phoenix Stark was able to have Muggle Technology that actually worked in the Magical World.

Then they ended up welcoming their foreign guests from the other schools; which everything seemed to be going okay so far.

However, the very next week when the Goblet of Fire gave out the names of the students that would be competing in the tournament; Nix's name came out as a contestant and everyone was completely shocked or stunned.

Both Nix and Clint were upset about this and the the three Minstery officials along with Albus Dumbledore said that she had to complete or lose her magic.

Phoenix sighed knowing that this was going to be another year of chaos for her. Clint stayed by her side through the whole thing while the others were just being idiots in Clint's opinion.

Clint managed to write a letter to Tony and explain what was going on. He had also told them about the first and second tasks that had happened so far. Then he also told Tony about the Yule Ball that would be happening before the last task.

The very next day, Phoenix recieved a package from her parents as did Clint.

In the girls dorm room...

It was the day of the Yule Ball and her dorm mates wondered what the package was that Phoenix had gotten from her parents.

When Phoenix opened the package; she was stunned to see the most beautiful dress that was made in the hues of colors of a sunrise and a sunset along with a note from her father:

Nix,

Since you were young the hues of colors of a sunrise and a sunset always seemed to fascinate you. The hues of the sunset represents a time in your life that was harsh and the hues of the sunrise represents the way you rose from the harshness like a Phoenix rises from the ashes.

Love,

Dad

One of the girls said, "What does your Father mean by that?"

Phoenix smiled and said, "Well, Lavender, my Father means is that sometimes life puts us in situations that can be unpredictable but it is how we deal with the unpredictable situation."

"The dress is beautiful." Another girl said.

Hermione walked in already dressed for the ball; when she saw Harriet's dress. The dress was unique and beautiful and she had to wonder where Harriet got the dress.

"Not only that, but Nix's dress is done by a famous fashion designer that designs both muggle and magical clothing." Padma said.

"How can your father afford something like this, Phoenix?" Paverti said.

"Believe it or not, he's a billionaire and owns his own company." Nix stated.

"What's with you and that Clint fellow, though, Phoenix?" Lavender asked.

"Clint is my betrothed." Nix said with a smile.

The girls were absolutely surprised and started asking Nix all sorts of questions like how they met or what did father have to say about her dating Clint.

A few minutes later...

Ron was pouting because he couldn't get close to Harriet and didn't get to ask her to the ball because that Clint guy was always with her.

Then his date turned once again towards the stairs and said, "Is that Phoenix?"

Hermione and Viktor turned to see Harriet at the stairs. She was descending down the stairs; however, what shocked everyone was that Clint Barton had met her halfway. He kissed her hand and then she linked her arm through his and accompany him the rest of the way down the stairs.

Draco and his date, Daphne were amazed that Clint was a complete gentleman to Phoenix and that he respected her in every way unlike the Weasel, Ron Weaseley.

When they entered the Great Hall; they were amazed at how beautiful it looked because it looked like they were in an enchanted winter forest or something.

Phoenix and Clint got into position for their first dance which would start the Yule Ball just as the other contenders well the other champions did.

Once the waltz started, both Phoenix and Clint danced the waltz really well; caused the Professors and two heads of the visiting schools to be in awe at how well the two danced together.

Fleur and her date were amazed as well and so was Cedric and Cho.

Viktor and his date, Hermione were stunned as well.

"C'est presque comme s'ils étaient dans leur petit monde" Fleur said in French.

"I agree because they seem very happy." Cedric said.

Clint and Nix decided to go outside to get some fresh air and Hermione and Viktor followed to see what they were upto.

Near a fountain...

Clint and Nix were seated on a stone bench. While Hermione and Viktor were hidden behind some bushes.

"So, it's hard to believe that you have to participate in this tournament?" Clint questioned.

"I know, Clint. I wasn't exactly expecting to thrown into something like this. " Nix stated.

"Your father will probably hear about this happening and he won't be happy about it. " Clint said.

"That's true, Hawk. I just wish that people would just understand that I would like to just enjoy my time at school without everyone thinking that I am this Harriet Potter. " Nix stated.

Clint knew Nix was really Harriet Potter but she enjoyed the name Phoenix Jasmine Stark more because she didn't have to deal with the titles that the Magical World has given her.
