Harry stared at Dummy with open mouthed shock. Teddy and James began to shove each other.
"I didn't do that. You had to do it." Teddy pushed.
James snorted. "I did not!"
Lily ignored them and walked to Harry. Harry was still stuck in a stupor. Harry turned to Lily who was moving around him to see Dummy.
"Lily, I want you to tell everyone I'll be back."
Lily nodded and Harry moved picking up Dummy and apparated them away. He went to Spinners End. Snape took in Harry holding Dummy and frowned. "Did you pick up another child?"
Harry ignored his sarcasm and caught him up to everything that happened. Snape's eyebrow raised. "Do you do anything by halves?"
Harry rolled his eyes. "Did you get Bucky's potions? I'm going to take Dummy to Gringotts."
Snape stood and went to retrieve the vials. "He needs to take them for the next several weeks when he wakes."
Harry nodded and took the shrunken wood box that he knew would have potions vials neatly packed. Snape smirked at him as Dummy's head began to weave and fall on Harry's shoulder to sleep. Harry glared at him as he made his way to the floo. Snape followed him grabbing his cloak.
"I'll come with you. I need to get some ingredients anyway."
Harry ignored him and moved through the floo to Tom's pub. They both walked outside into Diagon Alley. Eyes were on them as they made their way through the streets. Harry tried to not snarl. Dummy was still heavily asleep on Harry, thank Merlin.
Snape followed them to the bank. They walked inside and were automatically led to one of the back rooms. They waited for a few minutes before Gripnaut joined them. Harry smirked.
"Out of New York?"
"I go where I'm needed."
"I need you to check him to see if he has a core. I think he preformed accidental magic."
Gripnaut stood and went to grab some parchment behind him. He walked back and took a knife getting a few drops of blood from Dummy's finger then Harry healed him. Dummy slept through the entire thing.
They waited with Snape smirking at Harry. Harry was trying not to fidget under the scrutiny. Gripnaut looked at the parchment for several minutes before he turned to Harry frowning. Harry tried to pull off an innocent smile and pulled out the puppy eyes.
Gripnaut was not amused. "What did you do, Mr. Potter?"
Harry's eyes turned to saucers. It was back to Mr. Potter. He was in trouble. Harry went to open his mouth but Snape beat him to it and told Gripnaut everything he'd been told earlier making Harry sound like even more of an idiot.
"Seriously? I'm not an insufferable moron who takes no account of the magic he possesses and shits on mother magic herself. You are such a dick." Harry fumed quoting Snape.
Gripnaut scowled and handed the parchment to Harry.

Harry looked at the paper and frowned. He handed it to Snape to see what he thought. Snape looked over the paper and turned back to Harry and smirked.
"Shut up."
Harry turned to Gripnaut. "Thank you. I need to get into the Slytherin vault."
Gripnaut nodded. He moved standing and Harry followed him as they made their way to the carts. Dummy continued to sleep through the ride to the vault. It was so far down in the earth, they had to take a cart Harry had never seen before.
Gripnaut stood from the cart waiting on Harry. Harry shook himself out of his thoughts. He was so overwhelmed being down here. It looked like the vaults down here were carved out of stone. Huge ornate doors stood around them each with a crest of the founding members of Hogwarts. There was one other ornate door with a crest Harry had never seen before.
Harry pointed the door out to Snape. Snape and Gripnaut turned to the door. "Ah, that is the first vault."
"First vault?"
Gripnaut smiled. "It was the original vault of Merlin. On his death, the vault was left to the Goblin nation for only us to house treasures and artifacts that should be hidden away."
Harry nodded and stayed as far away from the door as possible. He didn't even want to think what could be hidden inside.
Gripnaut moved to the vault door and placed his hand on the door. The doors swung open and Harry walked inside. Snape had already been down here with Draco and Harry had no plans to stay down here. As far as he was concerned, Snape and Draco were more than capable to go through the vaults.
"Where is the stone?" Harry asked Snape not wanting to look around.
The room was piled with furniture, books, walls and walls of bottles and vials. It looked like clothes were piled in one corner preserved from deteriorating along with tapestries. He shuddered. He didn't like the feelings coming from this room. It felt tainted.
Snape moved to the back of the room. Harry followed him. He could see a strange blue light coming from one of the shelves. He wanted to vomit from the power coming off from the shelf. He moved picking up the books beside the stone.
Snape was watching him. "Can you feel it?"
Snape nodded.
"What does it feel like to you?"
Snape closed his eyes. He stood a second feeling the magic around him. His eyes fluttered open and he flinched. "Rot, sickness, wrong."
Harry nodded, at least it wasn't just him. "Do you have a vial on you?"
Snape nodded and pulled out an empty vial from his pocket. Harry took the vial then carefully handed over the child. Snape sneered at him and held Dummy like he was cursed and strapped with heavy explosives. Harry rolled his eyes and turned back to the blue light.
He moved walking closer to the stone. The power coming off it was breathtaking and somewhat hypnotic. He moved closer taking the vial and held it to the stone. He moved the stone and watched as bright blue fluid began to trickle into the vial. His head was starting to spin and he felt lightheaded.
"Harry!"
Harry's eyes snapped to Snape and he took a step from the stone. Gripnaut and Snape took a step back from him.
"What?"
"Your eyes are glowing blue and the magic around you feels…odd."
Harry took a step back and stood waiting. The lightheadedness was still there. He moved farther away from them and waited until he could feel his body go back to normal. Snape finally nodded.
"It's gone."
"I think we should leave the stone here. I don't think it should ever leave this vault. I'll take this back and have Stark analyze this but the stone stays here. If it is truly as bad as I think it is…"
"I agree."
Harry corked the vial. The fluid inside the vial glowed bright blue and had the same glowing properties of the stone. Harry slid it in his pocket and took Dummy back.
"Can I take some to analyze?"
Harry nodded and watched as Snape took a much more careful approach to the stone and transfigured gloves to touch it. Harry watched but Snape wasn't affected by the stone with the gloves on. He mentally scolded himself for being careless.
Harry followed Snape and Gripnaut out of the vault and they went back up in silence. Gripnaut gave him another scary look before he left them in the lobby.
"Finally managed to piss him off."
Snape smirked at him as they left the bank. Harry rolled his eyes.
"I'll let you know if I find anything and make sure your broken beau stays on the potions. If you need anything, I'll be home."
Harry nodded and watched as Snape apparated away. Harry looked around and headed for the joke shop. He was going to pick up some toys for the kids. He walked into Fred and George's shop and the noise began to wake up Dummy. His eyes whipped around taking everything in. Harry smiled. He remembered his first time here and the amazement of the wizarding world. He smiled at the wide eyes of Dummy.
"Harry, is that you?"
Harry turned to Lee as he ran from behind the counter and hugged him. "Lee. I've come to grab some toys for the kids."
Lee grinned and grabbed a basket and started filling it up with candy and toys. Harry usually let Lee or the twins shop for him when he stopped by. Lee was grinning throwing in way more stuff than was probably necessary. Harry just followed him pointing out things to Dummy as they followed an over excited Lee.
Lee finally made it to the counter and bagged everything and shrunk it down. "I'll put it on your tab and send the bill to Draco."
Harry nodded. "Thanks. Draco is staying with me in New York. I know the twins will probably be staying for a while too. Do you need me to let them know…"
"Harry!"
They both turned at the interrupted scream. Harry mentally groaned. He didn't have time for this.
"Hermione."
"We've been trying to get into contact with you." Ron came up standing beside Hermione, their daughter behind them. "We came to see Fred and George, but they said you were out of town."
"I've been in America."
Lee was fidgeting beside them but came to stand behind Harry showing him his support. Hermione looked over to him then turned back to Harry.
"We've wanted to see if you'd like to come and visit."
Harry stood fuming. "Why? You've constantly told me you don't like my life choices. You don't acknowledge my children. You want nothing to do with Draco and insult him whenever you are in the same room with him. You have done nothing but criticize my life. Why would you possibly want me to come visit?"
Ron shook his head. "We were friends. My family loves you. Ginny still wants to be with you."
Harry laughed. "I'm gay."
Hermione was looking at Dummy. "Who is this?"
Dummy looked from Hermione back to Harry. Harry ignored her question. "You still think I will be the person you want me to be. I'm tired of this argument. I'm never going to stop being friends with Draco. Fred and George told me you came here and started an argument with him the other day."
"That ferret is not going to be with my brothers."
Harry smirked. "Too late."
Ron snarled. "What do you see in him? Malfoy is a little death eater hanging onto daddy's robes."
"People change. The world isn't made of dark and light, white and black, good and evil. You need to grow up."
Ron snarled at Hermione. "He hasn't changed. Malfoy and Snape have turned you into something foul. Did you find a new lover and have another child with that slut?"
Lee made a snarling sound behind him. Dummy whimpered in his arms. "You really need to leave."
Ron sneered. Hermione took his arm. "Harry, please."
Harry snarled. "I'm done. I've tried to be nice out of respect for his parents and for his brothers, but my patience is running thin. You don't care about me. If you did, I wouldn't have been doused with potions to keep me docile and fall in love with Ginny. I have a family and friends who care about me and love me for who and what I am. Neither or you will ever be able to do that."
Harry turned taking the bag from Lee and walked out of the store. He knew Lee would be contacting Fred and George. This was such a bloody mess. He walked farther down the street and apparated back to the tower.
0000000000000000000
Draco walked upstairs after searching the room for the children. He only found the snake curled up in the corner.
"Jarvis, where are the kids?" Draco asked feeling foolish talking to the ceiling.
"They are in the main kitchen."
Draco nodded and took the elevator upstairs. Draco walked out into the room in chaos. He could hear the kids bickering as he moved to the kitchen. Exploded mugs of coffee were all over the table. James and Teddy were bickering and picking up exploding snap cards as Lily was pulling juice out of the fridge.
"What happened?" Draco asked as he began fixing the mugs and cleaning up the mess.
"Mom was making sandwiches with the new prince on the counter when we came in. James dropped his cards and then the mugs exploded."
Draco took in the room. James and Teddy had stopped picking up the cards and were staring at him. He opened his mouth to speak when James interrupted him. "We didn't do it. Mom got really upset and left."
"Left?"
Lily stopped pouring herself juice. "Mom said to tell you, he will be back."
"Jarvis, is Harry in the tower?"
"No, he took the new child and disappeared."
Draco moved sitting down wondering why Harry would have left so quickly and not told anyone. He looked back to the mugs he'd fixed. Accidental magic was rare with the kids. The last time they'd had to deal with it was years ago. Oh Merlin, Harry would have known. It was Dummy.
He heard the others moving into the room but decided to keep the information to himself. Harry could drop that explosion all by himself.
"Where is Harry?" Steve asked looking around the room.
"He left."
Steve turned back to him. "What? Why didn't he let us know?"
Draco pursed his lips. "I'm not sure."
Loki walked into the room and was looking at the three children. His eyes took in Teddy and James who'd began to play quickly throwing out cards before they could explode. Lily was ignoring all of them petting her little pink pet she'd sat on the counter and was dipping her finger in her juice and letting it lick it off her fingers.
Draco rolled his eyes as she giggled. He needed to stop spoiling her but he knew that wasn't going to happen.
Stark ran into the room. "Pepper is on her way up!"
Natasha and Clint moved sitting at the table facing the door waiting on the show. Draco closed his eyes cursing Harry for leaving him here alone to deal with this. Fred and George were waiting in the living room eyes full of glee. Where the hell were Bruce and Lupin? The only damn rational people here and they were gone. Maybe, he could go hide with them.
"Tony, calm down." Steve spoke quietly like he was speaking to a spooked animal.
Stark's eyes were darting around the room. "Where is he?"
"Harry left with him. We don't know."
Stark's eyes widened. "He left?"
The doors to the elevator opened and Pepper walked in. She walked to the kitchen getting nervous as everyone's eyes followed her. She turned glaring at Stark eyes slit.
"What did you do?"
Stark shook his head eyes pleading. "It wasn't me. I know it's always me, but this time it wasn't me. I didn't do it. I was an innocent bystander."
Pepper's eyes slit. "Tony, I don't believe that for a minute."
Steve moved standing beside Stark. "Pepper, he is correct. Something happened while you were gone but he didn't do anything wrong."
Pepper's eyes moved from Stark to Steve. Her foot began to tap on the floor. Draco could see Loki moving leaning over the counter smirking at the situation. He looked around and the only people not waiting for the blow up were him, Bucky, Steve and Thor.
"Mom made a kid with Stark." James helped.
Pepper's eyes went wide. "What?"
"It's not what you think." Steve and Stark said quickly.
Pepper's foot stopped tapping and she glared at them. "Explanation Tony."
Luna strolled into the room followed by Neville. Luna turned to Thor. "Thunder." She smiled walking over to Loki and looked him over then smiled and picked up an apple as she ran a hand through Lily's hair. Lily ignored her still distracted by her pet.
"Harry has gone to see the goblins about our new wizard." She smiled then walked out of the room.
Everyone turned to Neville. He collapsed in the chair and shrugged. "I just go with it."
Draco closed his eyes and dropped his head back on the chair. He was right. Stark eyes looked over the room confused.
Steve not realizing what Luna was talking about began to explain everything that had happened. Pepper stood quietly looking at Steve refusing to speak as Stark stood remarkable quiet.
When the explanation was over, Pepper moved to the elevators to leave.
"Where are you going?" Stark moved following her.
She whipped around glaring at him. "To the store. Jarvis, do you have his scans? I need his sizes."
"Sent to your phone."
Pepper turned and went into the elevator pushing Stark back into the hallway when he tried to follow her.
Stark stood quiet his head going on the metal doors when she was gone. "I'm in the doghouse, aren't I?"
Draco snorted. "Harry will be able to keep you company."
Stark pouted. "I didn't do anything this time."
"Karma for all the other shit you've pulled over the years." Clint grinned behind him.
Stark moaned and went to collapse on the couch. The other adults followed suit and sat down with the television on in the background for noise. Draco stayed in the kitchen with the kids. He was eating one of the sandwiches left on the plate when he heard the crack of Harry's arrival.
Draco took one look at Harry and knew something was wrong. "What happened?"
Harry sat Dummy in the floor then handed the bags over to James and Teddy. The kids immediately started going through the bags. Harry moved sitting on the counter facing Draco. He didn't realize everyone was in the living room.
"I stopped by the store and Ron and Hermione were there."
Draco scowled. "What the hell did they want?"
"For me to come visit and to tell me Ginny still wants to be with me. They also made a remark about Dummy being mine and me finding a new slut."
Draco snorted.
Harry pulled out the books he retrieved from the vault and resized them. "I went to the bank and got these." He pulled out the vial and handed it to Draco. "Snape went with me. He told me my eyes glowed when I was getting it. Whatever he made, Draco it felt as bad as what Loki was tainted with."
Draco took the vial. Neither one of them noticed everyone moving to watch them. Draco looked from the vial to Harry. "Did you have them look at the child?"
Harry pulled out the paper and handed it to Draco. Draco looked at it then back to Harry. "The new Potter-Stark baby."
"The what?" Stark spoke startling Harry making him jump and almost fall off the counter.
"Surprise!" Draco spoke. "This shit is permanent."
