Disclaimer : I own my story but not Harry or anything mentioned in this story.
Danny : Hey folks it your boy Danny here with a new idea for a Harry Potter Wbwl fic but It a challenge from DZ2 called "DZ2's 'Path to Greatness' Challenge: A Pseudo-Harry Potter/Marvel OR Harry Potter/DC Crossover Challenge which is Harry was always destined for greatness, but even he had no idea how great his path was meant to be. However, when he discovers said greatness, there's almost something familiar about it. This will be different than my other WBWl projects ( that I still need to get too but please don't sweat me about updates) Harry will be going to Hogwarts.
In a Compartment room on the famous Hogwart Express is a little boy about eleven year old with average size build of an eleven that has his unruly black hair which covered a scar shaped like a lightning bolt and he brilliant emerald almond eyes. He is wearing the Hogwart robe and uniform as he sits in his seat enjoying the silent but he had an unpleasant look on his face.
This is eleven year old Harry Potter and he was foul mood due to the fact he living a lie that was revealed to him a few moments ago boarding the Hogwart he was on his way to board the train he hears cries of people and his fellow students of the Boy Who Lived along with his parents coming through.
Harry curiosity spiked about this " Boy who Live and his parents" business but he saw a woman with eyes similar to his and a older male with raven hair with glass alon walking with a pudgy boy that reminded him of his cousin Dudley around his age that look like him with red hair and brown eyes wearing glasses.
Harry compared his own physical features to the trio along with hearing the names of the adults with the woman being Lillly and the male being James casing Harry's eyes to widned as he recongized those names as his so called drunks of a parents names along with learning the boy who looks like name is Robert.
Harry came to the realization something after witnessing these people who share the same last name as him.
His parents are alive and he has a twin brother.
All this time when he was younger where he would be abused pyhsically by his horrid relatives along with told his parents were good for nothing drunks who died in a car crash.
Or the times he was shoved into a cupboard due to him being called a '' freak" he would pray for his parents to show and save him from this hell on earth.
No they seen pretty happy with their special child Robert Potter aka the boy who lived ( whatever that is).
Harry stowed in his anger that he didn't hear the sound of someone opening his compartment revealing Robert Potter and his best mate Ron Weasly who both had sneers on their faces.
Robert barked," OI! I demanded you give us your compartment !" He gives a typical I am better then you look.
Harry raise an eyebrow looking at the two red haired buffons with such incredulous on their face and asked,'' Why would I give my compartment ? There are compartments on this train."
Ron shouted," You better do what he say! He is the boy who lived! The Vanisher of You Know who! He gets red in the face along with his ears turning red making Harry wonder why is he us shouting.
Harry asked," You know who ? I don't know who that is?" He looked lost on this " You Know Who " bloke is and he is wondering why do this bloke need to be vanquished.
Robert and Ron looked at Harry with a mouth agape for a minute as they looked at Harry like he grew a second head.
Harry asked," What? Why are you looking at me like that ? Can you two tell me who is this bloke is or are you going to keep staring at me like a bunch of morons? He crossed his eyes as he looked at the two.
Robert sniffed ," Ron mate let get out of here. This Comparment smells like mudblood." He turns his nose up in the air and walked away with his lapdog.
The two walked away leaving the door open and Harry watched their retreating backs with an twitch of an eyebrow.
Harry muttered," They just barged in here and started demanded answers then they leave the door open like that!" He grumbled to himself as he get out of his seat and he went to close the door.
Harry begin walking back to the seat and Harry closes his eyes as he briefly rest a bit as the train had carried them out of London. Now the train was speeding past fields full of cows and
sheep. Harry was quiet for a time, watching the fields and lanes flick past. He didn't see th red harried buffons again but he visited by a boy name Neville who is looking for a toad.
Harry was enjoying the ride until when the compartment door slid open again. The toadless boy was back, but this time he had a girl with him. She was already wearing her new Hogwarts robes.'Has anyone seen a toad? Neville's lost one,' she said. She had a bossy sort of voice, lots of bushy brown hair and rather large front teeth.
Harry stated," I believe I told Nevile here I haven't seen a toad and ob by the way do you mind knocking first!" He looked over at Harry with an annoyed look on his face as he stands up and stretches.
Hermione apologized," Oh sorry to bother you." She walked away with Nevile with nevil trailing behind her as she closes the compartment door behind her.
Harry lays back into his seat and he see the compartment compartment door slid open yet again, but it wasn't Neville the toadless boy or the girl with the bucktooth but it was a girl around his age with with sleek white-blond hair, blue eyes, a pale complexion and rather sharp, pointed features. She is wearing the Hogwart robe like him.
The girl asked," Oh it seem the compartment it occupied. My apoglized." She closed the door making Harry confused.
A voice echoed through the train: 'We will be reaching Hogwarts in five minutes' time. Please leave your luggage on the train, it will be taken to the school separately.'
A couple of minutes Harry and his fello first years were entering the Great Hall a place Harry had never even imagined such a strange and splendid place. It was lit by thousands and thousands of candles which were floating in mid-air over four long tables, where the rest of the students were sitting. These tables were laid with glittering golden plates and goblets. At the top of the Hall was another long table where the teachers were sitting. Professor McGonagall led the first-years up here, so that they came to a halt in a line facing the other students, with the teachers behind them. The hundreds of faces staring at them looked like pale lanterns in the flickering candlelight. Dotted here and there among the students, the ghosts shone misty silver. Mainly to avoid all the staring eyes, Harry looked upwards and saw a velvety black ceiling dotted with stars.
Harry heard bucktooh or Hermione whisper, ''It's bewitched to look like the sky outside, I read about it in Hogwarts: A History.'' It was hard to believe there was a ceiling there at all, and that
the Great Hall didn't simply open on to the heavens.
Harry thought," She probably going to Ravenclaw.I'm calling it." He thought with a amusement in his eyes until it turns into annoyance as he hears two red haired buffon have a very loud conversation while stuffing their faces with sweets causing people in range of them to look disgusted,
Harry muttered," Whatever house they are going I hope I don't end with them." He shuddered at being in the same house with them.
Harry quickly looked down again as Professor McGonagall who is A tall, black-haired witch in
emerald-green robes stood there. She had a very stern face and Harry's first thought was that this was not someone to cross. silently placed a four-legged stool in front of the first-years. On
top of the stool she put a pointed wizard's hat. This hat was patched and frayed and extremely dirty. Aunt Petunia wouldn't have let it in the house.
Everyone in the Hall was now staring at the hat, he stared at it too. For a few seconds, there was complete silence. Then the hat twitched. A rip near the brim opened wide like a mouth – and the hat began to sing to Harry's astonishment.
'Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!'
The whole Hall burst into applause as the hat finished its song. It
bowed to each of the four tables and then became quite still again.
The Sorting Hat
The hat seemed to be asking rather a lot; Professor McGonagall now stepped forward holding a long roll of parchment.
'When I call your name, you will put on the hat and sit on the stool to be sorted,' she said. 'Abbott, Hannah!'
A pink-faced girl with blonde pigtails stumbled out of line, put on the hat, which fell right down over her eyes, and sat down. A
moment's pause –
''HUFFLEPUFF!'' shouted the hat.
The table on the right cheered and clapped as Hannah went to sit down at the Hufflepuff table. Harry saw the ghost of the Fat
Friar waving merrily at her.
'Bones, Susan!'
''HUFFLEPUFF!' shouted the hat again, and Susan scuttled off to sit next to Hannah.
''Boot, Terry!''
''RAVENCLAW!''
The table second from the left clapped this time; several Ravenclaws stood up to shake hands with Terry as he joined them.
''Brocklehurst, Mandy'' went to Ravenclaw too, but ''Brown, Lavender'' became the first new Gryffindor and the table on the far left exploded with cheers; Harry could see Robert's lapdog 's twin brothers catcalling.
''Bulstrode, Millicent''
She then became a Slytherin.
Harry thought," This is like Primary He remembered being picked for teams during sports lessons at his old school. He had always been last to be chosen, not because he was no good, but because no one wanted Dudley to think they liked him.
''Finch-Fletchley, Justin!''
''HUFFLEPUFF!''
Harry noticed, the hat shouted out the house at once, but at others it took a little while to decide. 'Finnigan,Seamus', the sandy-haired boy next to Harry in the line, sat on the stool for almost a whole minute before the hat declared him a Gryffindor.
After Seamus was sorted into Gryffindor Hermione Granger aka the bucktoothed girl was called up and she was sorted into Ravenclaw which brought a whole round of applauses through out the Great Hall.
When Neville Longbottom, the boy who kept losing his toad, was called, he fell over on his way to the stool. The hat took a long time to decide with Neville. When it finally shouted
''HUFFLEPUFF", Neville ran off still wearing it, and had to jog back amid gales of laughter to give it to 'MacDougal, Morag'.
Fast Forward after other first years were sorted hat included Draconia Mafloy ( the girl who apoglized to Harry for entering his compartment) it is time for the P's.
''Potter, Harry!''
Harry thought,'' My turn." He rises up from his seat and he made his way towards the stool where the sorting hat reside.
As Harry stepped forward, whispers suddenly broke out like little hissing fires all over the hall with confusion on everyone 's faces.
" Potter like Robert Potter?"
" Is he related to the boy who lived ?"
" Maybe Potter is a common name ?''
Harry ignored the chatting and he approaches the stool where he takes a seat on it then he awaits for the hat.
The the hat dropped over his eyes and a A horrible thought struck Harry, as horrible thoughts always do when you're very nervous. What if he wasn't chosen at all? What
if he just sat there with the hat over his eyes for ages, until Professor McGonagall jerked it off his head and said there had obviously been a mistake and he'd better get back on the train?
" Don't fret lad as that will not happen to you."
Harry 's eyes widened comically as he wonder where did the voice coem from but he relaized it was the hat talking to him making calm down.
''Hmm,' said a small voice in his ear. 'Difficult. Very difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind, either. There's talent, oh my goodness, yes – and a nice thirst to prove yourself, now that's interesting …"
" Oh what this ? You some how managed to acquired a great power but will you also learn great responsibility that comes with it ?"
Harry 's eyes widened in shock at what the Sorting hat said and he heard that part in his mind and he wonder how does the Hat know about that quote?
The Sorting hat cried," Better be Hufflepuff!" He shouted the name of Harry's new house causing a thunderous loud chear from the house of the badgers to be heard.
The hat was lifted off his head and he was gestured to go over to the Huffelpuff table where he was met with smiling faces from his new housemates.
" Potter , Robert !"
The room goes quiet as Robert Potter aka the Boy who lived struts to the stool where he sits down on the stool and the sorting hat was about to be put on his head but the hat cried," ''GRYFFINDOR'" to the heavens.
The house of the lion broke off into loud thunderous cheers and everyone heard the two twin red hair chant ," 'We got Potter! We got Potter!''
A couple of more first years get sorted then the headmaster ho Harry thought was a bit mad in the head gave a welcoming speech but he raise an eyebrow about why was " the forest in the grounds is forbidden" as that would make some students try to sneak out to see for them.
Harry muttered," Hopefully at this place I won't have to deal with any issues." He hoped that he won't have to deal with problems at this school.
Note: Here is the first chapter of The Age of Marvel. I would like to give a shoutout to DZ2 for the challenge . I gave a hint about Harry's powers in this fic and let see if you can find it. I wonder how should I build Harry up in this fic. I hope you all enjoy this one and be safe everyone.
