Hi all, I know it's been a while, I have been busy with exams and ended near the end of June. And then this chapter, I have been battling with it, I rewrote some parts many times, and I'm still not 100% happy with it, but I think it's decent I might come back to it in the future but here it is otherwise.

Sirius was currently stuck in Newt Scamander's house if it could be called that. There was a tiny area dedicated to living, and the rest had been continuously expanded upon to house different animals. He helped the man with chores, mainly feeding the animals that weren't extremely dangerous and he was allowed to stay in the house and live in the guest room.

He was eating his breakfast when an owl came through the window with the latest Daily Prophet. Sirius didn't pay much attention to it, Newt, however, picked it up as he was finishing his cup of tea and almost dropped the paper at the headline. Sirius looked over in confusion, but he saw the headline that left him in shock.

ALBUS DUMBLEDORE – ARRESTED BY MACUSA FOR BREACHING THE STATUTE OF SECRECY

Albus Dumbledore, Grand Sorcerer, Supreme Mugwump, Chief Warlock and Headmaster was arrested earlier this week when he was found talking to a muggle about magic in a public space, where nearby muggles over-heard their conversation. The headmaster was swiftly taken into custody and the memory of the incident was taken from the muggles.

Sirius had to stop reading, had the headmaster gone senile or something? He had always respected the older man, but he wasn't so sure if he could fully respect him now, maybe the man he had once been, but not the current one. His age was clearly catching up. Sirius turned to look at Newt when the man sighed.
"You know Dumbledore, don't you?" Sirius asked.

"Yes, he was my professor at Hogwarts and tried to get me to fight his war for him before he eventually got enough pressure put on him to do it himself. He prefers for others to do his dirty work and then step in for the glory or when there is no other option." Newt had a moment of silence before he continued, "I'm not surprised with what's happened, it was bound to at some point. He has always believed himself above the law because of all the titles he holds."

Sirius turned his attention back to his breakfast, lost in his thoughts, maybe he shouldn't try and get in contact with Dumbledore, it could only go downhill for him.

The weekend passed quickly for the Stark family and Rhodey had already left late in the afternoon. Rhodey had not been too impressed with the miniature Iron-man suit but was happy to hear it was more for defence than action. Tony was horrified about his child seeing any more action than he already had.

They had held off about telling Rhodey about magic, it wasn't Tony's secret to tell and unlike the Avengers Harry didn't know the man, besides the fact that he was his best friend. The two had got along, but nowhere near how Harry got along with the rest of the Avengers and Loki. Although Harry had been rather quiet after the events with Dumbledore.

Thankfully, it didn't take long for Harry to bounce back to his normal self, but Tony was worried about how focused he was on his schooling, even if that wasn't something he should be complaining about.

While on Harry's side of things, he had become fully absorbed in his lessons, soaking up all the knowledge like a sponge. He was more than welcome to his busy schedule as he was determined to catch up with everything he had missed out on while being at Hogwarts.

As the weeks passed by, September came to an end, and they were entering the spooky season, as Tony had called it. While Harry did know what Halloween was, and had celebrated it to some extent at Hogwarts, it wasn't a day he was looking forward to. He was dreading the day when it came, but it was still the beginning of the month.

The teachers were impressed with his progress, and they wouldn't be surprised if he completely caught up by the end of the year and even go on to higher grades before the school year was finished. Harry was just as smart as his dad, even more so with magic involved in his learning. Tony was proud, to say the least, he had high hopes for his child.

Pepper had also started to make small appearances around The tower, Tony's words had made her think a lot, and she had been in the wrong. She had finally spoken to Harry, although just in passing, and she wouldn't have been terribly surprised if she never had a close relationship with him like the others. She had realised just how foolish she had been when she learnt that Harry was so similar to his dad, especially when he spoke about the things he loved.

Tony was busy working with Natasha to try and find Bucky, Steve had been sent out to do the groundwork, but otherwise was also heavily involved in the process of finding the man. The goblins had done their best to find the man, but they said magic was interfering with their search. There was a high possibility that what had ever happened to Bucky, wizards were also involved in the task.

They had very little evidence of the Winter Soldier, and JARVIS was busy decrypting the most recent data they had collected. They had followed a lead from an old Hydra bunk, which had led them to an out of commission, base of operations for the Red Room. Natasha had been surprised but had led the information retrieval team through the base.

"Sir the information is ready to be viewed," JARVIS said as the projections in front of them changed and multiple photos and videos popped up with documents attached to each of them. Natasha had a strange look on her face as she seemed to recognise the face in the photos.

"Nat, what do you know?" Steve asked as he picked up on her posture.

"I, he was one of my trainers, back when I was in the Red Room. We also had a close relationship with each other."

"Nat?" Tony asked seeing Natasha look conflicted with herself, which was a rare sight. She seemed to pause and collect herself before continuing.

"We were involved with each other romantically, but it came to an end when his handler took him away. I was in the later stages of my training at the time, it's been a long time since then."

"Did he ever tell you about the missions he had been on, or where he had been?" Steve asked. He was shocked by the news that his best friend had been in a relationship with Natasha.

"No, even if he wanted to, he couldn't, he said that they would lock away his memories after each mission, or whenever he travelled between the bases. He couldn't even remember who he was before The organisation."

"Well, at least we´ve got a lead now. We can go from there. We can search for any similarities between the documents, search from the last known location and so on. Team we've got this." Tony said trying to lighten the mood.

"Tony's right it's only a matter of time before we find him," Natasha said looking determined to put the past conversation behind her.

Harry was busy practising his magic with Loki as a supervisor. The god would try and give him pointers when he wasn't getting a spell right. While Loki had admitted that the magic that Harry practised was foreign to him, he noticed that it was similar to some magic he had learnt. He had also decided to learn magic along with Harry but in his own time.

Loki was busy reading a book on magic in a language Harry didn't recognise. So, he didn't pay much attention to it, but his head whipped around to face the god when he heard him hissing at different pitches. Harry watched as Loki continued to hiss at different pitches and tones until the hiss became recognisable and he could hear words in-between the hiss, but it wasn't proper Parseltongue.

"You're a Parselmouth?" Harry asked shocked.

"A what now?" Loki was unsure what Harry had meant. He had been reading about the rare languages of magic and there had been a passage on the secret magic of snake language.

"You can speak Parseltongue, you speak to snakes?"

"Ah no, but I can shapeshift, so I morphed my tongue, throat and vocal cords to be able to speak like a snake."

"Oh." Harry was a bit upset with that knowledge, he thought he had finally met someone who was nice and could speak the language.

"Can you speak this language of serpents?" Loki asked seeing the disappointment across the child's face.

"Yes, I can although, I don't know how it works. It just kind of happens."

"Are you able to do magic through this language?" Loki asked, the book he had been reading had hinted at the possibility, but he wasn't sure.

"I should be able to, but the headmaster placed a block on me, that doesn't allow me to perform Parselmagic. I have been told that I can break it by casting Parselmagic spells, but I haven't been able to collect the books on the magic from one of the vaults in my name."

"Hmm, if I were to take you would you retrieve them?"

"Sure, I would have to ask my dad first but sure I don't mind."

With plans set to retrieve the books, Loki was ecstatic. He enjoyed learning, especially when it came to magic. He was going to make the most out of his time on Midgard, and he had already become attached to the little wizard. He hoped to take Harry in as an apprentice one day, teach him everything he knew. But first, he had to finish his schooling, and Loki wanted to learn as much as he could as well.
