Sorry for the wait. But I slaved over this chapter for the last 2 days, so I hope you enjoy it. I have so many ideas, that I actually don't know what to write sometimes. All I know is that I don't want there to be massive angst in my story, maybe later on down the line when Harry is a teen, and it's some teen angst but otherwise no thank you, I want fluff and all that good stuff. Sorry was rambling. Hopefully, I can get out another chapter while I am on my week-long semester break, but I have to study for a psychology test and an anthropology essay. Hope you enjoy the chapter.
Thanks to Tia for beta reading, you are my life and saviour, and I also have a second beta reader, looking forward to getting through this story with them at my side.


Sirius travelled day and night, not keeping track of time, and often getting distracted by the simplest thing´s and having to take a detour once his mind homed in on his goal again. He hadn't found Harry where he was meant to be, so now he was starting the second part of his plan prematurely. Oh, he was going to wait until everyone was back at Hogwarts before he fetched that thing, but now he was going directly for it, would take it in the night when no one was looking, yes, that's what the insane man thought, as he travelled all over. Eventually coming to a stop and looking up at the misshapen house in front of him. The house that defied all logic because of one simple thing, magic. Sirius gave out a cackle in his form, as half plans started to form in his mind, revenge right at the front. Not even thinking of where his godson might be, or if he was even safe. No, he was going to get back at that rat, even if it killed him, he would be a free man, and have the means to get what he wanted afterwards anyways.

The week had passed quite pleasantly. If Tony wasn't in his lab, then he was with Harry and Steve. While they would read books together Harry would try and question Steve about his dad, to see if there was anything between them. If the blush that appeared on Steve's face when Harry asked him things was anything to go by, then there definitely was something between the two. Nothing big, but certainly some sort of feelings between them.

Hermione had come around that Friday, the two had just spoken with each other, despite talking over the phones they had been given, it was different when talking in person. Harry told her all about what he had learnt from reading with Steve, and Hermione was happy he was reading more. She told him how her parents were giving her one more shot with going to Hogwarts after she begged them to stay there. They had told her that if anything more than the normal happens, they are pulling her out and finding a different option for her. Harry said that all he knew he wasn't going back to Hogwarts, and that he was going to be living in America. After Hermione left with her parents, Steve disappeared somewhere, and Tony sat him down.

His dad told him that he had a few options when it came to school, they were leaving for America on Sunday, and while nothing needed to happen right away, he wanted to know what he should be looking at when it came to schooling him. Harry was given the options of outright not learning magic anymore and just going into a muggle school, but neither his dad nor he were for that idea. Tony said he had to offer it because he rather nothing be left unknown. His second option was for them to find what other magical schools there were because Hogwarts couldn't be the only one and there was probably one in America, maybe even more. Harry's other option was to do both but through home-schooling, Tony would teach him all the science stuff, and he would rope the other avengers in to help with any muggle study, and if there was a subject that was missing, they would get someone in, and when it came to magic, they would find magical tutors to help out, but they were going to starting on a blank page with magic in America. So, he would probably only start with his magical learning later on.

Harry straight away knew that he wanted to go with the home-schooling option as he didn't want to be away from his dad, not that Tony knew that. Harry even put forth the idea of maybe eventually going into a muggle school, while being tutored in magic studies at home. He was excited for what the future held for him.

Saturday was spent packing up the house and figuring out what to do with all the boxes, Tony eventually had some people come in and pack them all into boxes and take them away to be sent back to the United States. He called Pepper, telling her about the incoming shipment, and that he was going to be flying back tomorrow and for his plane to be sent up, which she told him had been sent up when she learnt of his whereabouts. Although she hadn't expected it to be there that long.

Sunday morning came around and Harry woke up to a noise coming from the kitchen. When he went through the door it was to find Steve holding his dad in a headlock. Steve was covered in flour and looked like a mess, while his dad was laughing non-stop. He watched as Steve grabbed a handful of flour and dropped it in his dad's hair before wiping it all over his face, sporting a huge grin himself. Harry was giggling so hard at the sight in front of him. The two still hadn't even noticed him as they continued to play around and shove flour at each other.

"Jarvis? You are recording this right? And please send it to me." Harry called out, which got the attention of the other two humans in the room.

"Most certainly young Harry."

"Kid, what did you ask J to do?"

"Nothing!" Tony looked over at Steve and he looked back grinning.

"Grab him Cap!" Steve rushed forward grabbing Harry around his waist, as Tony grabbed the flour. He came up to the two and dumped the flour all over the squirming child. Harry was trying to wiggle out of Steve's grip but was laughing too much to notice his dad releasing the flour all over him. Tony took Harry from Steve and started to tickle him. Harry wriggled and laughed as Steve laughed on at the two.

"Da... dad stop," Harry laughed out, causing Tony to stop as the words reached his ears. He looked down at his child and then at Steve who was grinning. Steve nodded at him. He pulled Harry close to his chest and started to laugh, Harry wrapped his arms around his dad's neck as said person buried their face into his neck. Beard tickling him as he laughed. Tony will admit that he let a few tears loose at that moment, as he laughed into his son's shoulder, he had just called him dad. It was the best moment he had experienced in his life. Not even the first cheeseburger he had after returning from his abduction could come close to this moment.

After everyone calmed down, things returned to normal in the Stark household. Harry found that the two had been trying to make pancakes, but neither knew what they were doing, and it ended with flour going everywhere. Harry took over and made breakfast for everyone while the "adults" cleaned up the kitchen and themselves. When they left for the plane, Harry battled to get Hedwig in her cage, knowing they would be flying he thought she should be in her cage, but Tony waved it off saying it wasn't needed. So, there he was, standing in an area he didn't even know you could get into at an airport with Hedwig on his shoulder.

They were standing in front of a thin, slender plane, with no one else around. The steps were down and a man that must be the captain came down to greet them all. Harry ignored this all. He was too stunned to believe that this was a private plane they would be flying in. Yes, he knew his dad had money, but he didn't realise it was enough to have a private plane. As they reached the inside of the plane, Hedwig flew off of his shoulder onto the back of a seat. It wasn't a big jet, but there was a decent-sized area they were in, and what looked to be a separate room off to the back. Steve sat down in one of the single seats that had a table in front of it, with a double seat on the other side of said table. Tony sat there and motioned for Harry to sit next to him which he did. It wasn't long before the captain came through again, saying there was no air hostess available, so if anything were needed, he could point out what to do. Tony again waved it off, and soon they were in the air.

It was a 6-hour flight in total, Tony said there was no rush and to take it slow. He just didn't want to deal with everything that was to come when they landed. The time was filled with Tony and Steve telling Harry about the team they were in and the people they worked with. They mainly shared the stories they had of the rest of the Avengers and some information they had on them. Tony was able to rattle on about Bruce and his beautiful mind, as he had put it. Steve talked about the encounters he had with Natasha and Clint. Neither could say much about Thor. Tony also spoke a bit about Pepper but not as much as he thought he would. Harry fell asleep at one point from the motion of the plane. Head falling onto Tony's shoulder. Tony moved him around, so Harry's head was on his lap. The two men then sat in silence as they both went on to do their own things not wanting to disturb the boy.

Tony woke up Harry as the plane was starting to descend, he was still half asleep as they got out. But very quickly woke up when spotted a mob of people on the other side of the fencing. They had cameras in their hands and were screaming something, but they were so far away it was hard to hear them. Tony turned around placing his hand in his son´s hair and ruffling it.

"Don't worry kiddo I've got this; you don't need to say anything. Plus, I'm not really going to be telling them anything just yet. They can wait till a press conference is held." Tony walked up to the fence while Harry and Steve got into the waiting car. The driver stayed quiet but nodded at the two of them. Tony hopped into the car once they were close. Questions on when the press conference being throw around. Tony visible deflated as he got settled in the car. "Happy, take us home." The man again nodded, watching Tony from the mirror.

The ride was mainly silent as they drove to the newly named Avenger's tower. Harry was in awe as he gazed at the world outside the car. Once they reached their destination and the car slowed down, Harry's eyes went wide at the sight of the tower they were stopped in front of. When they started moving, Harry couldn't keep his eyes off the building until they eventually went inside the parking area and he could no longer see the outside of the building.

"You live here!" Harry exclaimed.

"Harry, I own the building." Harry gapped at his dad.

"Merlin's beard, that's so awesome."

"Merlin's beard?" Steve asked.

"Ah, it's an expression, I think, I'm not sure. I've heard other things with the use of his name that doesn't sound very nice."

"Wait, Merlin is real?" Steve asked shocked, they hadn't read anything that even mentioned Merlin.

"Yeah, but a long time ago, and there's something called the Order of Merlin, I think it goes to witches and wizards that have done many great things."

"Okay, we can get back to this topic later, but now, it's time to introduce you to all the others, kiddo," Tony said pausing the conversation, otherwise they might be there for a while. Happy was giving him a questioning look through the mirror, he motioned to "I´ll tell you later", and the man nodded in response. "Come on kid let's go to the elevator. Jarvis! Oh, how it feels so good to have you everywhere again and not limiting you to such a small space. Jarvis, tell the others to meet us on the party deck, there's someone I want to introduce them to. Make sure Pepper knows as well."

"Will do sir, Miss Potts is already waiting for you, sir. It's good to have you back."

Once inside the elevator, Tony was visibly bouncing both out of the excitement of having his son home and introducing him to the team, as well as nerves as to how they might all react. Harry grabbed onto his dad's hand and squeezed it. Tony looked at him and smiled while patting his head. The doors opened and Tony could hear the team speaking, Steve stepped out first and walked ahead of them to go and greet everyone, while both Tony and Harry stood just outside the door. Tony took a deep breath and pulled Harry into a hug. It wasn't a long hug but was enough for him to get through this. He grabbed Harry's hand, before looking at his boy and walking forward. As he rounded the corner, he saw all heads turn to him and then his kid, Steve giving him encouraging looks. Pepper looked ready to chew his head off from keeping information from her. Natasha looked indifferent to what was happening. Clint looked confused and Tony could see the gears turning in Bruce's head.

"Hey, guys. I want you to meet my son Harry, he is going to be living with us from now."


So, it's a slight cliffhanger... Sorry, I not 110% sure where I want the conversation to go, but didn't want to make you guys wait any longer. Hope you enjoyed it.
