Sorry this was late everyone…I totally forgot to post this morning :) busy busy.
Anyway hope you enjoy and I promise that Snape will be yelled at soon but there is a little intimidation in this chapter…very small.
Ron's parents allowed him to go, only if they were allowed to come. So, the Weasleys excluding their son Percy were coming back to the tower with him.
Harry walked into Professor Lupin's office to find the man packing his things.
"Hello Harry." The man said while his back was turned.
Harry was surprised.
Lupin turned and smiled, he pointed to the open map on his desk, "I saw you coming."
"Are you leaving?" Harry asked.
"Yes, it seems someone has spread the word of what I am. Soon, the owls will be coming in asking me to leave. So, I resigned."
"You what? Why, you're a great teacher. You're the best we have ever had." Harry said.
Lupin smiled bitterly, "I cannot endanger anyone else Harry. This is for the best. People don't want my kind around children."
"But you didn't hurt anyone. We got out before you even transformed."
"Yes, but I forgot Harry. I have never forgotten about a full moon. If things went the way things were I would have put you and the others in danger. I won't have that. I'm just happy that Sirius is free now."
Harry approached the man, "How can you know people won't accept you?"
"It's happened before Harry, Parents don't want a werewolf around their children." Remus said sadly. He continued packing his things.
Harry ran up and grabbed his hands, "Well if you're leaving at least spend the summer with me. Sirius will be there, Hermione, Ron, everyone. I'm bringing everyone home to meet my new family. I would like you to be a part of that."
Lupin sighed, "I don't know Harry."
"Please"
They looked at each other for a moment before Lupin sighed, "Alright, I will go with you."
Harry smiled helped the man pack the rest of his things.
(Line Break)
A few days later the Weasleys, Snape, Dumbledore, Hermione, Remus, and Sirius were all gathered in Dumbledore's office. Their bags had been shrunk and placed in their pockets.
"Alright everyone, we will be flooing over. Hermione why don't you go first to make sure no one wanders off."
Hermione nodded and stepped into the fireplace. "Stark Tower!" She threw the glittering dust and was engulfed by bright green flames.
When everyone was through, Harry went through. He appeared in the sitting room on his floor. Everyone was looking around at the comfortable furniture and books.
"This looks cozy Harry. Is this the sitting room?" Mr. Weasley asked.
"It's a sitting room. I'm the only one who uses it though." Harry said.
"Why, don't you spend time with your family?" Mrs. Weasley asked worriedly.
Harry smiled, "Of course, but not here. This room was only made so we had a place for the fireplace. The common room is somewhere else." He looked at the ceiling, "Jarvis, is anyone here?"
"Yes Master Harry. Sir is currently in the common room. The rest of the Avengers are currently fighting across town."
"Thank you Jarvis."
"You're welcome Sir."
"What was that?" Ron looked around panicked. "Do you have a ghost?"
"That was Jarvis. He's an artificial intelligence. He's a computer that runs the house."
"Pleased to make your acquaintance." Jarvis greeted.
"Wow, that's amazing. An actual AI!" Hermione said.
"So he runs on electricity?" Mr. Weasley asked, obviously excited.
"I do." Jarvis answered.
"Amazing, muggles are truly amazing." Mr. Weasley said.
"Let's go. We can leave our things here for now." Harry said and led the group out of the room.
"Might I suggest you use the stairs? I don't think your friends will fit in the elevator." Jarvis suggested.
"Uh yeah, probably right." Harry went to the stairs and down a few flights.
When he opened the door to the common room, the group gasped at the room's size. "You live here Harry?" Fred asked
"Yeah, great isn't it?" Harry walked further into the room. "Dad?"
"Over here" A voice said. The group walked over to see a man putting a dish in the sink, He looked up and smiled. "Harry!"
Harry rushed over and hugged the man. "Hi Dad."
"It's so good to see you." The man said.
"You too, how are you feeling?" Harry looked at the man's very large stomach.
"Ready for this guy to come out already." He caressed his stomach. "Are these your friends?"
"Yeah" He led his dad over. "Hermione Granger, Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley, Ginny, Fred, George, Ron, Professor Snape, Professor Dumbledore, Professor Lupin, and Sirius Black."
"Pleasure to meet you, Tony Stark." he shook all of their hands. "Why don't we sit down, my feet are starting to hurt." He led them back over to the sitting area and fell into a chair.
"Sir, what did you mean by 'you're ready for this guy to come out'?" Hermione asked.
Tony chuckled, "Call me Tony. And I meant that in two months, our little boy will meet the world."
"You're pregnant." Mrs. Weasley looked shocked.
Tony nodded.
"How can that be? You're a guy?" Ron stared.
Tony smirked, "Well, when two people love each other very much they –"
"DAD!" Harry interrupted. "I do not need that image." Harry cringed.
Tony laughed, "He asked." Jerking a finger toward a blushing Ron.
Harry shook his head, "So it's a boy."
"Yup, Aileen was a little disappointed. She wanted a sister."
"Well, looks like I win." Harry said.
"Sir, Director Fury is on the line." Jarvis said.
"Put him through J" Tony said.
"Stark, where are those papers you were supposed to have for me? You were supposed to turn them in a week ago." A man said.
"When have you ever known me to turn in paperwork on time Nicky? It wouldn't be right if I finished them right away." Tony smirked.
"Stark you get that paperwork to me by tomorrow or else." Fury said.
"Or else what Eye-patch?" Tony smirked. "If you have forgotten, I've been a little busy these past seven months."
"Oh I know all about you sitting on your lazy ass Stark." Fury replied.
"It is a lovely ass." Tony commented.
"I've seen better." Fury deadpanned.
Tony pouted, "You know you love me Nicky."
"I don't, you could be dying and I could care less. I want my paperwork."
"Dying huh? If I remember correctly, you were a key part to me not dying a few years ago. I would say I'm pretty important."
"Stark" Fury warned.
"Fine, fine you party pooper, I'll get you your damn paper work by the end of the day." Tony replied.
"About time. Let's hope your son will listen better than his mother."
"Not likely, you realize who his father is right?" Tony smirked.
Fury sighed, "Unfortunately. You're lucky your pregnant Stark, or else I would come over there and kick your sorry ass."
"Love you too One-eyed Willy." Tony said sweetly. He made a cut off motion and Jarvis ended the call.
"Still not doing your homework?" Harry smirked.
"Oh I did that stuff right after I was done with the consulting job, I've just been waiting until Fury called to turn it in." Tony replied. "It's so much fun ruffling his feathers."
"Was that your boss?" Dumbledore asked.
"I guess you could look at it that way. He doesn't pay me." Tony replied.
"You should have more respect for your boss." Mrs. Weasley scolded.
Tony smirked, "I have a thing about authority. There are only two people in this world I will listen to with no snarky remarks. That's why I'm my own boss, I do what I want."
Mrs. Weasley didn't look happy, but the twins were star struck.
"You're very arrogant." Snape observed.
Tony smirked, "Textbook Narcissist Batman, it's my greatest feature."
Snape glared at the man. He went to say something else, but was interrupted. "Have care in what you say next, they may be your last words."
They looked up to see Loki glaring down at Snape. "I already don't like you for targeting my son. Target my husband and you won't be around for much longer."
Snape shut his mouth and shivered at the powerful voice.
"Papa!" Harry hugged the man.
"Hello my dear. How have you been since I last saw you?" Loki's face warmed at the sight of Harry.
"I've been fine, pretty normal." Harry said.
"That's good." He sat down next to Tony, bringing the man close to him. "Hello darling, feeling alright?"
Tony hummed and leaned closer to Loki. "Just fine Snowflake."
"You're the man who knocked out Peter." Remus said.
"Yes, indeed I am. I was told that Harry needed my help so I went to the shack and waited until the right moment to make my entrance. It was an interesting story you had." Loki said.
"Thank you, for helping us." Sirius said.
Loki smiled, "You're Harry's family, who am I to take that away."
"Where are the others?" Harry asked.
"They are coming." Aileen appeared next to Remus making people jump. The rest of the Avengers came into the room, they were all wearing regular clothes except for Thor who was, like Loki, wearing his armor.
"Nephew, it is good to see you!" Thor bellowed and picked the boy up into a bone-crushing hug.
"It's good to see you too Uncle Thor." Harry gritted out. He gasped for breathe when he was set down.
"It's good to see you Harry." Steve shook his hand along with the rest of the team.
"Guys" Harry turned to his friends, "This is my family. Steve Rogers AKA Captain America, Clint Barton AKA Hawkeye, Natasha Romanov AKA the Black Widow, Bruce Banner AKA the Hulk, Thor the God of Thunder, Loki, my Papa and the God of Mischief, Tony Stark, my Dad and Iron Man, and my sister Aileen." Everyone waved when they were called.
"These are my friends. Professor Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Professor Snape who teaches Potions, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and their children Fred, George, Ron and Ginny, Hermione Granger, my ex-professor Remus Lupin, and my Godfather Sirius Black."
"The one who escaped from prison?" Clint asked.
Harry nodded.
"Well he certainly looks like he did." Aileen sat in front of Sirius and put a hand on his cheek. "You poor thing, you look terrible." She cupped her hands in front of her and a beautiful pink flower appeared. She tore off a petal and gave it to Sirius. "Here, eat this."
Sirius hesitantly put the petal in his mouth. At first nothing happened, but after a moment he started glowing pink. His hair darkened and untangled itself. His teeth whitened and his beard trimmed. His body gained weight and his skin appeared healthier. When the light faded, he looked normal, not like he spent the last twelve years in jail.
"Woah" Ron gaped.
"What did you do?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"I healed him. Now all he needs are some new clothes." Aileen said happily and snapped. A glowing ring appeared around Sirius and his clothes changed.
"Incredible." Harry said. He hadn't seen very much of Aileen's magic so this was exciting.
"There, good as new." She clapped.
"Thank you." Sirius said.
Aileen nodded and returned to her seat next to Remus.
"I've never seen magic like that." Hermione said.
"Of course not. It's not human magic." Aileen replied.
"Human magic? Aren't you human?" George asked.
She shook her head, "I am from a planet called Celestia. My parents died when I was very young and I somehow ended up on Earth where I was taken in by my Dad."
"You're an alien?" Ron squeaked.
"As are two others in this room." She pointed to Thor and Loki.
Thor nodded, "I come from the realm of Asgard, Loki does as well, but he originally comes from Jotunheim, the realm of Frost Giants."
"So is everything from Norse myth true?" Hermione asked.
"Not everything, but most things." Loki replied.
"Amazing, would you be willing to show us your form?" She asked Loki hopefully.
Loki looked a little uncomfortable, but when Tony took his hand he relaxed. Blue started to crawl across his skin. His eyes went from emerald to red.
Hermione gasped, "That's so cool"
"There's my snowflake." Tony smiled.
Clint gagged dramatically from his end of the couch.
Loki returned to his Asgardian form.
"Do you have a true form Aileen?" Harry asked.
"I do." She closed her eyes and started to glow. Slowly, her tanned skin turned a light grey and her hair now had white streaks in it. She now wore a deep blue dress with silver embellishments and her crown sat atop her head. When she opened her eyes, they were black, making her silver irises stand out even more. (Where our eyes are white, hers are black if anyone was confused about that.)
"Woah" The twins said.
"Do all Celestials look like you do?" Hermione asked.
"No, there are many different skin colors and every skin color will have its own eye color. We all glow though, which is why I usually wear my human appearance. It's easier for people to look at me if I'm not shining in their eyes." Aileen giggled and returned to her human appearance.
"Have you always known your true form?" Ginny asked.
Aileen shook her head. "Not until I died and I went back to Celestia. The people there showed it to me and taught me the things I needed to know about my species. I am a little different than the usual Celestial." She lifted a piece of her hair, "If I grew up on Celestia with my birth parents, my hair would be all white. Apparently, when Dad took me in, we formed a bond. This bond changed my appearance, my hair is now brown because I have a human father." She explained.
"Proud of it." Tony smirked.
The group chuckled.
"Aliens Molly, aliens actually exist." Mr. Weasley was practically jumping in his seat.
Molly simply patted him on the leg.
