The last chapter was really short, so I thought I would post this one too…don't know if it's any longer, but when Harry goes off to school, they do get longer.
Hope you enjoy!
Harry and Tony spent the rest of their time shopping online for Harry's new room. Tony made sure Harry knew that money wasn't an issue, but Harry made sure not to go overboard. At the end of the day he had a complete room and a new wardrobe.
"Hey Dad?" Harry walked into the living room.
Tony looked up and smiled, "Hey" he put down his tablet and turned to the boy.
"My friend Ron sent me a letter asking how I would get from America to school. At first, I just assumed I would fly back here. But he offered an alternative."
"What alternative?"
"Connecting to the floo network. He sent over instructions on how to do it." Harry handed the piece of parchment over. "Only if you want to that is."
Tony looked over the list, "It looks doable. I'm pretty sure we have a room where we could build a fireplace. We have other fireplaces, but they're electric and I guess that doesn't work. Yeah, we'll start this when we go back tomorrow."
"Great" Harry replied.
(Line Break)
Harry was amazed at the city around him. The buildings were tall and sleek, people filled the sidewalks and cars filled the streets. It was a strange sight for Harry who was used to the old fashioned buildings of Surrey and the even older buildings of the magical world. Tony led them to a sleek car with a man in a suit standing next to it.
"Mr. Stark" The man greeted.
"Hey Happy, this is Harry. Harry, this is my driver Happy." Tony introduced.
"Pepper said you adopted, I didn't believe it at first." Happy said.
"Yeah, well you know me and the impossible." Tony smiled and got into the car.
"You have your own driver?" Harry asked.
"Billionaire Harry, Billionaire." Tony replied simply. They got to the tower and Harry couldn't close his mouth. Tony chuckled and pulled the boy along to the elevator. They reached the common room floor and Harry looked around in awe. The room was beautiful, sleek and modern, yet comfortable and homely. "Like it?" Tony asked.
"It's beautiful" Harry breathed.
Tony chuckled, "And you haven't even seen your room yet." He led Harry back to the elevator that took them up a few floors. "Now, I didn't really know what you liked so we can have the other rooms made as we go. One of these rooms can have that fireplace you need. There are a few guest rooms in case you ever want your friends to stay over." They went down a short hall and Tony opened the door "And this is your room." The room was large and furnished with everything they had purchased earlier that day. "I can't tell you how happy I am that you chose red and gold as your colors." Tony smiled.
"Why?"
"They are the colors of my armor." Tony replied.
"Oh, they are the colors of Gryffindor, the house I'm in at school."
"How many houses are there?" Tony asked.
"Four. Gryffindor for the brave, daring, and chivalrous. Hufflepuff for the hard working, loyal, and patient. Ravenclaw for the knowledge seeking, and Slytherin for the ambitious and cunning." Harry said.
"Hmm, so I guess I would be in Ravenclaw. Loki would probably be in Slytherin." Tony replied thoughtfully.
"I'm glad you think of me as such Stark." A smooth voice said. The two turned to see Loki standing in the doorway. He was wearing comfortable clothing and his shoulder length hair was pulled into a low ponytail. "You must be Harry." Loki approached the boy.
Harry smiled shyly and nodded. "You're Loki"
"I am. I hope you have no ill will towards me." Loki said.
Harry quickly shook his head, "No, Dad already explained that you weren't in control of yourself. It wouldn't be fair. He also said that you have magic, I think that's really cool."
Loki turned an amused look to Tony, "He's already calling you Dad. I must say you move fast."
Tony shrugged, "What can I say, moving slow is over-rated." He walked over to his husband and gave him a quick peck on the lips. "Missed you."
Loki chuckled, "And I you."
Harry was looking at them in wonder. "Is there something wrong Harry?" Loki asked.
"I, I just can't believe my luck. I've always wanted a Dad, and now I have two." He smiled, but gasped and looked at Loki, "That is, if you want to be." He looked down.
Loki looked at the boy with concern and lifted his chin, "You may call me whatever you are comfortable with Harry. I would be honored to be your father."
Harry smiled and, like with Tony, jumped into the God's arms and hugged him tightly. Loki smiled and returned the hug.
"See, told you that you would fit right in." Tony patted Harry on the back when they finished hugging. "Now, let's go meet everyone else." He turned to the door. "Jarvis, is everyone in the common room?" He asked.
"Yes Sir" A British voice responded causing Harry to jump and look around.
Loki chuckled, "I did that too when I first got here. That's Jarvis, he's an artificial intelligence that runs the house. Tony built him."
"Wow, so he's in the house?" Harry asked.
"Yup so if you ever need anything just ask him, he should be able to help you."
"I will do my best to be of service to you Master Harry." Jarvis said.
"Thank you Jarvis. And please, it's just Harry." Harry replied.
"Of course Master Harry." The AI replied.
Loki chuckled when he saw Harry's frown, "He's very polite, it would be best to just deal with it."
They returned to the common room floor and found the rest of the Avengers sitting on the couches. "Harry, this is Clint, Natasha, Steve, Thor, and Bruce."
Harry waved.
"Young Harry, it is good to finally meet you." Thor bellowed and picked the boy up. Harry was surprised with the man's strength.
"Thor you big oaf, put him down before you kill him." Loki scolded.
Thor set Harry down gently and smiled sheepishly, "I apologize brother, I meant no harm."
"It's okay" Harry said through a few deep breaths.
"Nice to meet you Harry." Clint shook the boys hand along with Natasha.
"Nice to meet you too." Harry replied.
"Good to have you here Harry. I hope you aren't too overwhelmed." Steve said.
"I'm doing pretty well so far." Harry said. Steve nodded.
"Welcome to the club Harry." Bruce smiled. Harry nodded.
"So, let's start this party with some explanations." Tony sat down on the couch and told the others about the wizarding world.
Clint whistled, "And here I thought there wasn't anything that could surprise me."
"Could you show us a few spells? I want to see how they differ from mine." Loki said.
"No, underage wizards aren't allowed to do magic outside of Hogwarts. It's the law." Harry responded.
Loki looked confused, "How are you supposed to practice if you can't do magic outside of school? Young sorcerers should practice at every opportunity. How can you expect to get better unless you can practice?"
Harry shrugged.
"I'm sure we can still scan his magic. He has to have a magical core and signature, it should be enough for now." Bruce suggested.
"It will have to do." Loki sighed.
"Do you mind if we do a few scans of you Harry?" Tony asked.
"Sure. I don't mind." Harry replied.
"Awesome!" Tony cheered.
"So you use owls for sending letters. Why don't you just use things like email?" Natasha asked.
"Muggle technology doesn't work in Hogwarts." Harry said.
"Oh, we can't have that. There has to be a way for technology to work." Tony said. "We need a way to communicate, no use tiring your owl out by making her fly across the ocean all the time."
"If anyone can find a way, it would be you dear." Loki smiled at his husband.
"If you do manage it, it would be a big sell for the muggle born population." Harry said.
"I could move into the wizarding world. The new possibilities." Tony's eyes sparkled, new ideas running through his head.
"Just what you need, more money." Steve rolled his eyes.
"Hey, I am a business man." Tony shrugged.
"What is that scar on your forehead Harry?" Thor asked.
Harry frowned, "I got it from a dark wizard. When I was one, a man named Voldemort came and killed my parents. He tried to kill me, but for some reason, his curse backfired and I got this scar. I am known as the Boy Who Lived in the wizarding world, everyone knows who I am."
The room was silent.
"Famous for something you don't remember doing." Clint looked sympathetic.
"Yeah, it's not my favorite thing." Harry replied bitterly.
"Well, everyone in this room has a past they would rather forget. You can talk to any of us if you want to." Tony said. The group nodded.
"Thanks" Harry replied and leaned into Loki's embrace.
"Why don't you get some rest, I'm think the flight is catching up with you." Loki said softly.
Harry nodded and said goodbye to everyone before taking the elevator back to his floor. When he got to his room, he was surprised to see a young woman sitting on his bed. She was very beautiful, her dark brown hair fell gracefully down her back. She had a soft tan and a thin figure. She wore a beautiful white gown with dark red embroidered swirls dancing across it. On her head sat an elegant circlet of woven silver with scattered diamonds. When she turned toward him he gasped, her eyes were bright silver, his Dad was right, they were beautiful.
The woman smiled brightly, "You're Harry."
"You must be Aileen."
Her smile grew and she elegantly stood. "Yes, it is wonderful to meet you. I was going to wait, but I was too excited so I thought I would come now."
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well." Harry didn't know what to do, he knew she was a queen, but didn't know if a handshake was acceptable, so he went with a short bow.
She laughed, "Oh Harry, you and I are brother and sister. You need not bow to me."
Harry blushed, "Sorry."
Aileen smiled warmly, "You should get some rest. You don't want to miss dinner." She led him over to the bed and, to his slight embarrassment, tucked him in. "Someone will come wake you in a few hours, I'll see you then." She kissed him on the forehead and left the room.
Harry didn't have time to think about it, he was immediately asleep.
For Aileen I always kinda pictured Arwen…but slightly tanner and with silver eyes ;)
I finally found a picture I liked of someone doing Arwen cosplay.
The picture is on Deviantart, it's by MaxLy.
Maybe you'll find it ^-^
