You Have Got To Be Kidding Me

Hey everyone! I just wanted to give thanks to all those that have chosen to favorite and follow this story and to all those that reviewed! I will except all forms of criticism because I am new at this and seek to improve my writing. I hope I am able to meet up to your expectations and I look forward to any reviews you want to share!

I really liked the review that mentioned where I stopped was odd and I will endeavor to fix that! The progress of this fanfic will be slow going, so bear with me!

For those that do not know, I do not own Harry Potter or Avengers! (Think I forgot to put that up on the first chapter, sorry!) And for those that do not like Slash, then please turn back now because the main pairing will most likely be slash. I would like to also apologize in advance for the clichés and the slow start of the story!

Chapter 2

Harry's POV

Having time to himself was something hard to come by nowadays. It has been about two weeks after the final battle and Harry felt more exhausted than ever. The weeks were spent attending the numerous funerals, giving eulogies and speeches, and being hounded by the reporters that still could not get enough of him and get it through their thick skulls that he did NOT want to talk to them.

On top of all that, he had had to deal with an irate Weasely red head he was avoiding (Lol, which could be any of them). He had spent a long time thinking about his relationship with Ginny and it dawned on him that he was not in love with her. With all the crap he went through, he did not feel like the same person he was when they first go together. He also felt like he had rushed himself into getting into a relationship because of the thought of imminent death hanging around. Sure he felt love for her, but it was more as a sister than anything else. He was in love with the idea of being in love.

After being cornered by said red head he explained to her what he was feeling and that he thought it would be best if they split up. She surprised him with a sad smile and she countered that she had similar feelings and that she had agreed with splitting up. She was angry that he had avoided her for nothing, but was glad that he had confessed.

Unfortunately, even after those two past weeks, he still had other things to take care of. On his mental list, the biggest thing he needed to take care of was getting in touch with Gringotts about his parent's and Sirius's will.

Now, during the first free time he had to himself since the battle, here he was entering Gringotts. It was already cleared beforehand with the head goblin of the bank that the fiasco at the bank was forgiven. He still felt bad for Griphook for crossing him. Not too bad though because the goblin crossed them as well. Sadly, the goblin died before any kind of apologies could be made.

With those thoughts he hurried up to a goblin teller.

"Good evening, I have an appointment with Gradock today. Names Harry Potter."

"Yes, he is free right now and is expecting you. Follow me please."

It was about three hours later that he finally exited the bank and with all the information that he needed. He found out that he was now Lord Potter and had access to the family vault that he had no clue even existed. Gradock had also given him a list of his properties that were around the world and companies the potter family was invested in.

He had also inquired as to his parent's will and found out that they had never further updated them after going into hiding and it never stated anything about their secret keeper. It was a little disappointing knowing that the will couldn't have proved his godfather's innocence, but what's done is done.

However, he did find out that his godfather had updated his will and named Harry and Remus the only benefactors with Harry being his heir and the option of carrying the Black family name. He had accepted and was now Lord Harry James Potter-Black. He had then named Teddy as the heir to that name as it should be by blood through Tonks. The next thing he did was transfer Remus's money into an account for Teddy and added the rest of what was left over from his trust fund into it that vault as well.

Gradock had also given him a list of properties and investments that the Black family had. He was surprised at how many investments they had in America.

The thing that surprised him the most that day was Remus and Tonk's will. He never knew they had the time to make one together with all the hiding they had had to do. He learned that he was on record as Teddy Lupin's godfather and that he shared guardianship with Andromeda. They had also opened a trust vault for their son as well and on their death all their money had gone there.

Now that he knew of his financial standing and getting Gringotts out of the way he could solely focus on helping rebuild Hogwarts and catching the runaway deathmunchers.

_Time Skip_

8 Years Later...

"Teddy Remus Lupin! You come here this instant and help me!"

This was not how he wanted to wake up never-mind how he wanted to start the day. He growled in frustration at the situation he found himself in first thing this morning.

Him, the boy who lived, the man who conquered, boy hero that grew into a fearsome auror that deatheaters would sometimes flee at the site of him was staring at the door waiting for his brat of a nephew to come into his bedroom because he was absolutely stuck. Literally. To the wall above his bed.

He had a habit of sleeping on his stomach and when he had drowsily woke up this morning he felt his body being jerked up and flipped over. He found his back slamming into the wall and his world was upside down.

To his credit, he analyzed the situation quickly and figured out that he had been caught unaware without his wand by a 9 year old. This brought him back to the present time as he yelled for his nephew that he knew could not be too far away.

True and behold, he quickly heard the stifled giggles escape from the area near his door. It creaked open wider and he was then blinded by a flash of light and now full on laughter. He let his nephew have his moment of glory because really, deatheaters would not have been able to do what Teddy just did and he should be proud of the accomplishment.

"Okay, you've had your laugh. Now, let me down or the next time you wake up you will find yourself floating in the middle of a lake in a bikini." He said this as calmly and with as much dignity as he could have while being stuck to a wall upside down at the mercy of his nephew.

He knew he must have looked quite the sight and must have looked at least a little intimidating because Teddy hustled and moved to the side of his godfather's bed and took out the prank item from under the bed and pushed a button. Harry quickly felt gravity return and he quickly pushed off the wall with his hands and landed on his feet at the foot of his bed.

"Damn brat, it's way too early for this" Harry muttered angrily.

"You should have seen your face uncle Harry! I got you so good, I can't wait to develop the pictures!"

"Yeah, yeah. Good morning to you too. Are you all packed up now?" Harry asks

"Yup! I finished up last night. I'm going to miss this place though." "Me too buddy."

After six years of catching rogue deatheaters and making sure the wizarding world was back on it's feet with Kingsley as minister, Harry was finally able to put the war behind him. He had given much thought about what he would do when the time came where he was free from the obligations the British wizards and witches had heaped on his shoulders. After much debate, he had decided that he wanted to travel and see the world.

It had been two years since he and Teddy had left Britain to explore other parts of the world. They had gone to all the popular vacation spots like Paris, Rome, California, Orlando, the Caribbean and Hawaii. They had then gone to Mexico, Africa, Texas, and any other place that made them interested. Now, they were going to finally be settling back down. He had never expected that he would have Teddy with him, but he couldn't complain about the company. He loved the kid like his own and Teddy had been just as excited as he was about the trip.

Thinking back, It was only two months after the battle that Andromeda had approached him about the idea of raising Teddy instead.

-Flashback-

It was about eight at night when he had heard a knock on the door. Harry had been lounging on the sofa in front of the fireplace of Grimmauld place trying to read a book on being an animagus and quickly stood to answer the door. He had his wand in one hand as he reached to open the door. On the other side he saw Andromeda holding a sleeping Teddy and quickly let them in.

"What's going on Andy? Is everything okay?" Harry asks as he gives her and Teddy a glance looking for anything wrong. "We are as fine as can be Harry. I'm sorry about coming by so late, but I just can't handle this anymore." Andromeda was close to tears now and Harry rushed to bring her into the kitchen to sit down.

"My body and spirit is weak and he just reminds me of them so much that I break down in tears at odd times of the day." Harry rubs soothing circles into her back as she cries and tries to understand what she was going on about and she makes to continue on.

"I'm sorry Harry, I know I shouldn't be asking of this from someone so young, but you were named godfather and has partial guardianship over him so I just thought..." Andy falters for a moment and takes a deep breath to control her emotions. "I understand Andy" Harry picks up. "It's okay. Of course I'll take Teddy, he's my godson and I promised that I would watch over and help take care of him."

With that he took Teddy into his arms after Andromeda looked up at him with a watery smile. Harry grins back and tries to lighten the mood. "So, you'll have to give me a crash course in child care and help me find a place to move into because I'm not raising him in this house."

With that, she sat straighter, took Teddy back and smiled. "You'll need your hands free if you are to take notes." With that Harry had gotten custody of his godson, moved into a nice two bedroom cottage and Andromeda had passed on six months later to be reunited with the family that was taken from her.

-End Flashback-

With a question from Teddy, Harry was brought back to the present. "Are you gonna make pancakes today uncle Harry? I want blueberries and chocolate chips!"

"Sure squirt, I can make pancakes. Then we can pack up the last of our things before heading to the airport."

Thanks for reading guys!

I'm sorry for how short the update is, all I can say is that I am a newbie and the updates will be short and maybe every 2-3 weeks. Bear with me! Since Winter break is soon, I may be able to write more often now that I am not stressing about research papers. Please review!
