Disclaimer: I do not own X-men or Harry Potter, for they belong to JK Rowling and Marvel. I am still a poor fanboy, though I do have a job and am finally going to acquire a Wii and a PS3! As such expect longer periods between posts…I think. Anyway I still make no money off of this. The only thing I gain from this are wonderful reviews that make my days happy and practice in developing my skills.

Deadfeather- you're answers are found in this chapter

Sakura Lisel- Harry shoved the door open, and assumed an aggressive stance. Xavier already admitted to not being able to breach his mind, therefore he was utterly defenseless. Wolverine would be ready to fight right off the bat, and Storm would protect Xavier.

And to everyone else sorry for the long delay, I've been having a hectic time.

Chapter 3: Questions and Answers

1408 Graymalkin Lane, Bayville, New York 2007

Xavier watched the three new neighbors with interest. Apparently the little boy was in charge, and he seemed to have switched places with the blindman, or perhaps it was the man who was half there and half not? Already the two groups had already generated much interest in answers, and he, in his capacity as a guest, was to give information to these people that he had been planning on giving them anyway.

"You see…Mr.?" Xavier started looking at the boy with interest first to see what name he wished to go back.

That led the boy to chuckling for a moment. "Sorry, seems we missed a vital step first. I guess we're all a little eager to get to the question and answers session…but intros first! I'm Harry James Potter, that man over there is Sirius Orion Black," he said introducing Sirius but purposefully leaving someone out.

"And the boy's name?" Xavier asked, noticing how Harry had tensed when he had called out the missed person. The person in question lunged forward shifting form dog to human.

"Teddy Lupin!" The boy with purple streaked brown hair answered before he moved to settle himself on the blind man's lap.

"Ah yes…well my companions are Logan, and Orroro Monroe," he said gesturing to Wolverine and Storm. "Their codenames are Wolverine and Storm. You see, I am in charge of a school for people with specific talents, like your young friend Mr. Lupin has..and I utilize a machine named Cerebro to find these talented youngsters before they cause irreparable harm with their talents. I make sure they understand how to use their talents in ways that do not further their own desires, while providing them with a safe haven away from those who would seek to do them harm, or use them for nefarious means."

The older mutant in the household nodded in thought as he thought things over. "So you came by because you could sense that Teddy has these special talents…and you wanted to train him in how to use them appropriately?" he asked as he looked over at the man. "What is it that determines whether a person does or doesn't have these special talents that you're scouting for?" he asked as he looked over at the man.

Xavier smiled; the older mutant was thoughtful and was quick to ask questions. He supposed that saying that he had access to people with unique talents and trained them could bode either ill or well depending on what he decided to do with the youngsters. The older mutant was being careful. "At first we had no idea what the criteria was for those who had these talents, but with modern day technology we were able to discover that these talents were genetic. Genetic mutations caused by the X gene that allowed people to be able to have powers not available to others. For instance, I have the power to read minds; Wolverine has sharpened senses and an incredibly fast healing rate, while Storm has the ability to manipulate the weather,"

"So muggles are developing the X gene as well then? That's really interesting..Hermione would go bonkers with that revelation," the older mutant said smiling at himself. Of course he would keep any more information away from the other man for the moment, and this only served to further confuse Xavier. What were muggles? Where they average human beings? The boy had talked about something called the MX faction…and that these people had the MX gene. Was it possible that there was another genetic code that gave people powers as well? "so what's with the code names?" the older mutant added.

"Well many of the younger mutants, as we are called, have taken to having what they call their mutant name. We use these code names for when we go off on missions as members of the X-men, a vigilante group I founded that ensures that criminal elements of mutant society are subdued to keep the peace," Xavier explained as he watched for the man's reaction.

"Merlin, another Dumbledore and another Order of the Phoenix!" Harry exclaimed as he looked at the other. "Let me guess, there are mutants who are out there that think they're better than normal people, and that they want them eradicated?"

"Indeed there are Harry, but we keep them at bay while we try to encourage acceptance of mutantkind," Xavier said to the other.

The little boy only smiled. "Yep, definitely another Dumbledore," he said before he looked Xavier over for a moment. "Although you're probably better dressed, so where do you stand in all this? You don't look like the type to go to the front lines," he said to the other.

"Well my part in all this is discovering new mutants and bringing them to the Xavier Institute, where they learn to control their powers. It is a school where mutants can understand their abilities and learn how to live in harmony with mankind. I teach them Ethics. Orroro and Logan are both on the X-Men team when on missions. At the Institute Orroro teaches flight for those who can fly as well as elemental manipulation, while Logan teaches Combat and Survival training for prospective X-Men."

"There must be more to their education than that," Harry said as he looked at the other.

"Well yes there is, the students attend the local Bayville High School for their regular education, and we are mindful that they keep their friends in the dark about their abilities until acceptance has occurred. Jean Grey and Scott Summers are two current students who both attend that school," Xavier finished putting his hands in his lap as he looked at the young man.

"That's pretty good, the best of both worlds then?" Harry asked and when he was given a nod from the professor he smiled a bit. "Something that the Ministry should've thought of, if we had been taught muggle science, maybe the wizarding world wouldn't be as backwards as it is," he mused to himself outloud.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your musings, but you have said the term muggle quite a few times now..what does it mean?" Xavier asked as he watched the supposed shapeshifter.

"Oh…well Muggle is the term our kind uses for those who aren't magical," he said to the man as he looked at him. It looked as if Logan was going to say something but he interrupted him, "You see, magic does exist but we keep to ourselves for our own protection. I'm actually breaking a law in telling you this, but I think eventually you might have come across a mutant with magical powers…anyway…how do I explain this in a way that makes sense to you guys…umm…I know Siri do we still have that article that Hermione wrote five years ago?" he asked as he looked over at the blind man.

"Yeah Harry we do, and I remember that I packed that with my stuff," Sirius said as he looked at the boy.

"Could you get it for me?" Harry asked.

"Sure thing kiddo," he said gently placing Teddy back on the floor as he made his way out of the room, feeling his way as he did. It was only after he smacked into the wall twice that he discovered that the door was to his right, and after running into that, discovered that it was closed. He opened it and left the area, there was the sound of something falling, a vase breaking, and a few muffled curses.

Harry groaned a bit and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Teddy go help him, and make sure he spits out the Polygum, honestly" he muttered as the boy jumped up to go help.

"Who is this Hermione? You've mentioned her a couple of times as well," Orroro said as she looked over at him.

Harry smiled a little bitterly, "Hermione was one of my closest friends, but we drifted apart after she discovered a few things about me that she couldn't understand," he said to the other as he watched her. "She's a genius, and head of the Department of Mysteries…the British Magical Government's version of their research department or something like that, anyway her article explains everything quite easily," he said to the other. Of course Hermione had told her everything in her excitement of making a ground breaking discovery, but as usual Harry had sort of tuned her out after the first thirty minutes.

"And what is this Polygum you were talkin about?" Logan asked as he looked over at Harry. The young man noticed that the older male leaned against the wall rather than join the rest of them sitting around the coffee table.

"It's a magical gum that allows us to take the guise of another for an hour. The gum has a slightly bitter taste because of the ingredients that make up it, but once the gum loses flavor that means you're out of solution and you revert back to normal. Hermione developed it with the help of George, it's based off of the potion Polyjuice, which was ten times as vile to swallow," he admitted as he looked at the others. "We wanted to arrive incognito so we used the gum to get us all the way over here without anyone noticing." He then smiled wryly, "but it looks like we failed on that score, after all you guys noticed us."

"I take it that you're chewing some right now?" Xavier asked as he looked at the male while they waited for Sirius to return.

"Why yes I am," he said to the other as he spit it out and banished it, which startled his guests. "Don't worry I just banished it to the trash can, it's a common form of magic to use when you're cleaning up messes and such,"

The mutants watched in fascinated horror as the boy before them aged ten or so years so that he was seventeen, his hair darkening from muddy brown to inky black, and the eyes shifted from hazel to a vibrant green. Logan quirked a brow in interest at the young man before them now, he was quite well tanned, and he definitely wasn't a slacker. At that moment a man with dark hair and steel grey eyes entered the room.

"So did you find it Sirius?" he asked as he looked over at his godfather.

"Sure thing here it is," he said as he handed it over with a flourish before escaping back to his comfortable chair in the corner.

Harry looked at the document for a moment before he cast a quick duplicating charm and then handed the copies over to Xavier and his companions. "I think you'd like to read it over as it is at a later time, but I think I can translate from Hermione language to basic everyday human right now if you don't mind that is," he said to the others.

Logan only managed to take a glance at the long complicated words that permeated the document before he gave a nod towards the supposed wizard, while Xavier and Orroro decided to peruse the document for a few moments before they too gave reluctant nods towards Harry. Even Xavier couldn't understand some of the complicated wording that the young woman had written, but that was because she used terminology that was definitely not the type that Xavier had ever encountered before.

"Alright then," Harry began as he started to look over the document to reacquaint himself of the information that Hermione had so preciously gathered. "From what Hermione says, it seems that Magic for wizards come from something she decided to call the M genome, this she gathered from collecting blood samples from both Muggleborn and Pureblood wizards in order to determine any biological difference between the two. Her findings state that there is no difference between the average Muggleborn, wizards and witches born to non magical parents, and Pureblood, and therefore the stigma between them is moot. Now she noted a specific division between Muggleborn, and Muggles, most notably that Muggles don't have a certain gene activated within their bodies which like I said she determined to be the M gene. She goes further to talk about how the M gene actually works on our bodies, using the most advanced technology that Muggles have that was charmed to work in a wizarding area."

"Wizards generate something that Hermione termed as a Chaos field, which disrupts electricity. This field allows the Wizard to manipulate reality around them to a certain extent, usually when a wizard is feeling a particularly strong emotion…and that this energy can be harnessed to perform a specific task if the energy is directed through an object that contains a smaller chaos field that matches their own signature. Most wizarding folk use a wand in order to perform their magical ability after all,"

"May I ask a question Harry?" Xavier asked when Harry gave him a nod he decided to continue. "I have noticed that you have not been using a wand in order to perform magic, how is this possible then?" he asked.

Harry smiled at the Professor and decided to give him an answer. "She actually explains that to, in a weird kind of way. See we Wizards also have the X gene. Certain families have control of an ability that does not require a wand to use, many had thought it was a bloodline trait of magic, but in reality it was the X gene mutating certain families. I am an MX carrier, I have both the ability to generate the Chaos field, and I also have a mutation. Usually these mutations give an MX carrier an ability that works well with their Chaos fields. For instance, my X gene allows me to use my Chaos field without requiring a focus, but it has granted me other abilities. For instance, I cannot be seen unless a person has seen a death, and since you lot obviously can still see me then you've all experienced a death," he said looking at the others, wondering what their reaction would be to that tidbit. Oddly enough, they didn't even bat an eyelash at that bit of information.

"And the boy?" Logan asked since Teddy hadn't entered the room yet.

"He's a special case; he has both the M, X and even W gene. You see his father was a werewolf, a wizard whose chaos field responds to the lunar cycle and transforms him into a wolf. His mother was an MX carrier with the ability to take on any form so long as it didn't change her body structure, the two abilities combined allows him to shift from wolf to boy seamlessly, while at the same time retaining his sanity. His X gene allows his W gene to not be affected by the lunar cycle and instead he can use his Chaos field to change from one to the other," he said to the others.

"Extraordinary," Xavier said as he looked at Harry for a few moments.

"Yes it is isn't it? Well we've been here for quite some time, would you guys like to have some tea and biscuits for a bit?" he asked as he looked at the others. "Of course I have to ask that you guys keep this information to yourselves, I wasn't supposed to tell you, and I don't want this information to fall into the wrong hands. It would be very bad for both our communities if the Muggles discovered us," he said to the wheelchair bound mutant.

"Don't worry Mr. Potter, you're secrets are safe with us," he said to the other with a smile. "But I'm afraid that we'll have to be going soon. It's a two hour drive to the train station, and we've got a new arrival coming tonight all the way from Germany. We're really sorry for dropping by unannounced, but perhaps we can come by another time and discuss this a little more in depth," Xavier said.

Harry just smiled. "Don't be a stranger, we'll be glad to have you guys over anytime, heck maybe we'll drop by your house next time," he said as he led the guests to the front door and escorted them out. "Have a safe trip," he said before he closed the door.

He went back into the sitting room to see Sirius scowling at him a little. "Harry why didn't you just obliviate them?" he asked as he looked at his Godson.

"Simple Siri, the Xavier guy would've been immune to it, and he has the ability to protect the others from an obliviate. I think when it comes to the mind, nothing can compare to that guy's abilities. He's ten times stronger than Voldemort or Dumbledore when it comes to Legimency, and his Occlumency rivals mine. If I really wanted to wipe their minds, the power I would have to put behind it would've rendered them vegetables…besides they seem a nice sort, and I think I found a way to keep myself occupied." He said with a roguish grin.

Sirius grinned back as he looked at his Godson. "True to that Harry, but remember tomorrow we're going to go take a look at the American Ministry. I think it'd be best if you informed them about the Mutant School…maybe drop a hint about making a school for Mutants and Wizards? Like train them in Wizardry here and then send them over to Xavier for Mutant lessons?" Sirius asked.

"Siri that's brilliant!"
