"Well, I think that settles that. Who's hungry?" Steve clapped his hands.
"PIZZA!" Clint and Harry shouted. Some of the people laughed.
"Alright, I'm starving." He turned to the wizards, "Anything specific you want?"
"What's pizza?" Mr. Weasley asked, the other wizards (except Hermione) also having no clue what it was.
"What's pizza?!" Clint looked dumbfounded, "Oh man you haven't lived until you had pizza!"
"Jarvis, call up our pizza joint and order one of everything on their menu, sides included. Have it delivered as usual."
"Yes sir." Jarvis said.
"I'll get the drinks!" Clint raced off to the kitchen.
"I'll get the plates and napkins." Natasha said.
"I'll wait for the delivery." Thor went to the elevator.
"I'll go change." Loki left the room.
Tony made to get up, "I'll –"
"Stay right where you are." Steve said firmly.
Tony pouted, "Yes mom."
Steve rolled his eyes and left the room.
"It' not for much longer Dad." Harry pat his dad on the arm.
"I haven't been able to fight since I started showing. Then I was banned from my lab, and now I'm not allowed to get up once I've sat down." Tony huffed, "I'm pregnant not terminally ill."
Harry snickered at his Dad's pouting. "At least they care."
Tony rolled his eyes, "I'm never doing this again."
"You have to, I still want a sister." Aileen said.
A few people laughed.
"Tony doesn't need any more children." Clint came back with his arms full of drinks. Steve right behind him with more.
"What's wrong Barton, jealous that I'm getting some and you aren't?" Tony smirked.
Clint glared at the Billionaire. "As if. I'm just saying, between you and Loki, you have enough kids."
"Do Loki's even count? He doesn't see them anymore." Steve asked. "And Tony only has two kids, that's not very many."
"Thank you, see mom agrees with me." Tony replied, ignoring Steve's glare.
Clint rolled his eyes.
"I think it's a must." Aileen said. "Think about it, he doesn't have an heir. I am already queen, Harry is the Potter heir, and most likely the Black heir if Sirius never has children. Dad will need someone to leave his legacy to."
"Makes sense." Natasha came in and set down the plates and napkins. "Stop whining Clint."
Clint stuck his tongue out at his partner.
"If you want kids so badly Barton, I suggest you speak with Miss Romanov." Loki teased.
Clint blushed, avoiding Natasha's eye. Tony laughed at the agent's embarrassment.
"The pizza is here!" Thor exclaimed happily. He and Bruce walked out of the elevator with several boxes and bags. The meal was spread across several surfaces, the boxes were all opened, filling the room with a heavenly scent.
The wizards all breathed in, "That smells wonderful." The twins were practically drooling.
"Have at it boys, any leftovers are mine for breakfast tomorrow." Tony said. He quickly got two plates and piled on a few pieces of pizza. Loki sat down next to him with their drinks.
"You eat it with your hands?" Mrs. Weasley asked as she watched Thor devour his piece.
Harry nodded, "I could get you a fork if you want, but it's better to just eat it with your hands."
The wizards were amazed with how much Thor, Loki, Steve, Bruce, and Tony were eating. "Thor and Loki aren't human, Bruce and Steve have a fast metabolism, and Tony's pregnant." Natasha explained to the awestruck wizards.
(Line Break)
The next day was mostly spent in the training area. Thor had woken up ready to spar with someone so they decided to hold a little competition between Thor, Loki, Hulk, and Steve. Clint and Natasha decided to fight each other first so Harry could see what he would be learning.
"Okay, the fight between Natasha and Clint will start on my signal." Tony sat with the rest of the group off to the side. "There shall be no weapons, merely hand to hand. The first one to pin the other wins, if it lasts longer than 30 minutes it's a tie."
"Only half an hour? That's nothing." Clint remarked.
"Then I guess you better put your all into it Barton." Tony smirked. He hit the timer and the fight started.
In a flash of movement the two agents pounced. Their hits were steady and their movements graceful. It looked almost like a dangerous dance, the two of them in perfect sync. About three-quarters of the way through Natasha twisted her body and sent Clint to the floor, pinning him down.
"Yeah!" Tony clapped. "Clint is down, Natasha wins!"
Natasha smirked and helped Clint to his feet. "Better luck next time."
"That was amazing." Hermione said. "That must've taken years of training."
"It did. I've been fighting since I was really young." Natasha replied.
"Well, that was the opening act, now onto the main event. What should the order be?" Tony asked.
"Myself against the Captain, whoever wins will fight Thor, then Hulk." Loki said. He stood up, he was wearing his armor sans the helmet while Steve wore his uniform sans the mask. They took their places on the mat. "Alright, Steve vs Loki. First to pin the other down before the thirty minute mark is the winner."
Loki and Steve nodded and got into position. When the timer started Loki quickly attacked. Their movements weren't as fast as the assassins, but they still moved with a fluid grace that was unique to their personality. The fight lasted almost thirty minutes, but Steve managed to pin Loki down before the timer ended. The crowd clapped and Loki returned to his seat next to Tony. "You totally gave up at the end." Tony whispered.
"I do not fancy getting beat up by the beast." Loki replied lowly.
Tony smirked and cuddled closer to the God.
The fight between Thor and Steve was about fifteen minutes with Thor coming out the victor, though Steve had come very close to winning a few times. "A good fight Friend Steve!" Thor clapped the man on the back.
"So who's the Hulk?" Ron asked and was surprised when Bruce stood up and shed his shirt.
"Don't judge a book by its cover." Harry replied when he saw his friends' faces. His friends still gave him incredulous looks, but they quickly melted into surprise when Bruce started turning green and grew about three feet in all directions.
"Are you ready Friend Hulk?" Thor asked.
The Hulk gave a mighty roar.
Thor smirked and ran at the green giant when the timer started. The fight was intense, both men were strong and they weren't going easy on each other. By the time the thirty minute bell rang, Thor had a few bruises and was panting slightly. The Hulk however, didn't look tired and there wasn't a scratch on him.
"That was a mighty spar my green friend. I enjoyed it immensely." Thor beamed.
The Hulk chuckled deeply before shrinking back down to Bruce. The Doctor wobbled slightly and shook his head. "Well, that went well." He smiled.
"Damn right it did." Tony clapped the man on the back, "Thor's going to be sore tomorrow."
Thor laughed loudly at that.
"How can you be laughing right now?!" Mrs. Weasley shrieked.
The Avengers turned to the woman, she was looking fearfully between Bruce and Thor. "You all fight as if it is nothing! Fighting is wrong and not something that should be shown to children." She gave Tony a hard look.
Loki glared at the woman, but Thor spoke up before he could do anything. "Madam, I apologize if you do care for our ways, but I grew up in a land that puts fighting above all else. You learn to fight right after you learn to walk, we are warriors and take much pride in our skills."
"That is no excuse to go off punching each other for the fun of it. There are children here and they shouldn't watch that." Mrs. Weasley said.
"And yet you put your children through a war." Loki spoke up.
"Of course not." Mrs. Weasley protested.
"Oh I assure you it's true. Your precious Headmaster has had a plan all along. Manipulating Harry as if his life were meaningless." Loki sneered at the old man.
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked.
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches…Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies…and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have a power the Dark Lord knows not…and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives…" Aileen recited.
"How can you know that?" Dumbledore asked.
"Every queen of Celestia is given the power to walk the webs of fate. I have seen both the past and the future and have taken the proper precautions to make sure certain things do not come to pass." She replied calmly.
"So what does this prophecy mean?" Ron asked.
"It means that Harry is the only one who can defeat Voldemort." Hermione said.
"But I already knew that, or at least, I guessed it." Harry replied.
Aileen nodded, "However, if it were up to Dumbledore, you would be going into battle blind." She sent a steely glare towards Dumbledore, "You would have lost everything before you even had all of the tools to even have a chance at killing him."
"So, you want to tell us why teaching Harry some self-defense is a bad thing?" Tony smirked at the gob smacked wizards.
"Did you know?" Harry looked at his friends.
"No mate, no idea." Ron said, the other children nodded their heads in agreement.
"We knew part of it, not that you were the one that had to kill him though." Sirius said, Remus agreed.
"The only ones who know the whole prophecy are Dumbledore and Snape." Aileen informed.
"Well, at least we know who holds all the cards." Clint said. "Glad to be putting a wrench in your little plan." He smirked.
"Exactly, Harry isn't going to be one of your pawns." Tony put an arm around Harry. "You want him, you're going to have to go through all of us to get him. Do you think you have a chance?"
Dumbledore said nothing, he was the picture of calm. But Natasha, Clint, Loki, and Tony could see he was sweating. The room was tense, no one dared move. After a moment Loki pulled out one of his daggers and started fingering it, sending Dumbledore an evil grin. Dumbledore shivered slightly and turned back to Harry, "I don't like it, but it seems I have no choice."
Harry cheered and the Avengers smirked in triumph. "Let's go back to my room and I can show you some muggle games I have." Harry led his friends back to his floor.
"Now that we solved that problem, why don't we go to the roof, I need some fresh air." Tony stretched.
The group nodded and squeezed into the elevator.
Probably not the confrontation with Dumbledore you were hoping for, but it's the best I got :)
Also, I'm not trying to bash Mrs. Weasley, but she is an over protective mother so I thought her reaction was justified.
