"I guess I should go tell my friends what's happened to me before they get worried." Harry was a little embarrassed by his impulsive act, but couldn't bring himself to care. He had a DAD!

Tony nodded, "And then you can come back here and we can discuss this more."

Harry nodded and went to his room.

Tony reclined back in the couch and smiled. He got out his phone and dialed Loki.

"Hello?"

"Hey Lokes."

"Tony! How are you?"

"I'm fine, listen I have to tell you something." Tony winced slightly.

"What?"

"Um well, I kinda adopted a kid here."

"You WHAT!?"

"Now don't get mad yet, let me explain."

"Tony we haven't even talked about anything and you just go off and adopt a child!"

"I couldn't wait Loki. The past two days have been filled with getting all of the paper work ready and I didn't have time to call you. I'm sorry but I had to do this."

"What happened?" Loki bit out.

"He was being abused. I had to have dinner with this lump of a man and his family when his nephew came down. I guess he wasn't supposed to because the man immediately got up and dragged him back down the hall by his hair. He's way to skinny and he wears clothes that obviously once belonged to his overweight cousin. They starve him and he said they made him spend the first eleven years of his life in a cupboard. They punish him for something he doesn't have control of Lokes, I couldn't just leave him there."

Loki sighed, "What's he like?"

Tony cheered, "I knew you would come around. I think you'll like him, he's a wizard."

"A wizard?"

"Yeah, has magic and everything. Apparently there is a whole world of wizards and witches that live in secret."

"Interesting, I didn't know there were humans who had magic."

"I know, so I'm coming home at the end of the week. Tell the others what to expect and pick out a room for him. He and I will be going shopping today and have everything shipped over."

Loki chuckled, "Alright Tony, I hope you know what you're doing. Taking care of a child is not like one of your machines."

"Hey I've done it before, besides he is twelve years old and I have you to help me."

"Love you Tony."

"Love you too Reindeer Games."

(Line Break)

Harry walked to the desk and pulled out parchment and his quill and ink.

Ron,

I don't know if you're going to believe this, but my Uncle was having dinner with a business associate two days ago. I accidentally went downstairs, forgetting that I wasn't supposed to. Nothing bad happened, he just yelled at me and pulled be back up the stairs. What I wasn't expecting was the man to come up to my room and talk to me. He actually talked to me nicely! Anyway, two days later he comes back and asks for me. I was confused on why he wanted to see me, but I didn't question it. Turns out, he wanted to adopt me and I now have a Dad. A Dad Ron! He's married and lives with some friends of his, so I'm getting a family! I can't believe it, I'm so happy right now. The only problem is that I'm going to America so owls will be rare. I'm still going to Hogwarts I hope, I just will be doing a lot of traveling.

I hope you and the Weasleys are well and I'll see you in school.

Harry

He repeated the same letter to Hermione except he added the name of his dad because he knew Hermione would know who he was talking about. He walked over to the open window where Hedwig was sitting. "Here you go girl, Hermione and Ron. Make it as quick as you can, I don't know how long I'm staying here."

Hedwig gave Harry's finger an affectionate nip and flew out.

"So that's how you send letters." Harry jumped and turned to see Tony leaning against the door frame.

"Yeah, I don't know how it works, but that is the main type of wizard communication."

"Well that's unusual. I didn't know owls could be trained to do that." Tony sat down on the bed. "So, I'm assuming you have questions because I sure do."

Harry nodded, "Can you tell me more about your family?"

Tony nodded and spent the next hour describing each person on the team. "There is another person I should mention. I do have another child. I adopted her when she was three years old back when I was in college."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I wasn't old enough to legally adopt so I just took her in. It was right before I started my first year at MIT and I was exploring downtown when I found this young girl sitting in an alley. She told me she had no family and was kicked out of every orphanage because she had silver eyes."

"Silver?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, beautiful silver, they practically glowed." Tony smiled. "Those were the best four years of my life. No one knew about her except me and the tutor/ babysitter I got her."

"What happened?" Harry could see the sadness in his eyes.

"When I graduated, I went back home to my parent's house. I kept her a secret for about two months before she was found."

"What happened?"

"It was almost her birthday, I spent most of my time building a device that projects the northern lights. She was fascinated by the stars. Some nights, we would just sit outside under a blanket and look at all the constellations. I built her a telescope that could take pictures and we would project them on the ceiling when we were inside. It was the day I finished the device, I came home and found her on the ground, bleeding out. I was so horrified, I barely remember what happened. I just remember holding her as she died, telling me that she would see me again and thanking me for being a good dad. When I looked up, my dad was staring at me blankly. He told me that I wasn't fit to be a father. It was my fault she died and that it was better this way."

"You-your dad killed your daughter?" Harry couldn't imagine something like that happening.

"Yeah, that's why I hate him so much. He may have saved my life once, and I respect him for that, but I will always hate him for killing the one thing in my life that made me happy."

"Wait, if she died, how is she alive now?" Harry asked.

Tony chuckled, "Magic Harry. On her birthday I got piss-ass drunk and passed out. That night I dreamed of her. I thought I was hallucinating, that it was a crazy dream. She told me that while it was a dream, it was very much real. Turns out, she wasn't human. She was a Celestial from a planet called Celestia. Apparently her parents died and she fell to Earth where I found her. When her human body died, she returned to Celestia. I guess the realm is cut off from every other world so she wasn't allowed to come back to me, but she made sure to visit me once a year on her birthday."

"That's amazing." Harry said, "But why did your father not get arrested for killing someone?"

"No one knew about her. She didn't have any records, I couldn't prove anything. Even after she died, I didn't tell anyone. I think, in the back of my mind, I always thought the dreams I was having of her were just that, dreams. She was dead and I had to move on. It wasn't till about a year ago that she came back. She said that she was the new queen and was allowed to come and go as she pleased."

"Queen?" Harry asked.

"Yup, queen. Celestials are, probably, the most powerful beings ever. They only die when they are fated to and that could take lifetimes. When the old queen died, she named Aileen as her heir."

"That's amazing, so not only do I have two dads, but I have a sister. It's a lot to take in." Harry replied.

Tony laughed, "True, but don't worry. She is just as weird as the rest of us. Everyone is going to love you."

Harry smiled.

"Now, tell me all about your world, if we are going to have to come here for school I need to know everything."

Harry nodded and proceeded to tell him of Hogwarts, his friends, his first two years, and anything else he might think Tony ought to know.


A bit random I know, but I've always wanted to write about Tony having an alien daughter no one knew about ^-^ No time like the present!
