Writer's Note: Guess what? I'm out on Christmas break! So expect updates to be posted more often. In fact, we are nearing the end of this epic. Here's hoping that you guys like this arc as much as the last!
Another Note: Unlike the other worlds the avengers have been to, actual canon characters from Harry Potter will appear and have a part to play in the plot. So yes, you guys get to see the avengers hanging out with Harry and his friends! Aren't I just the best?
Warnings: As always this is a crack story. If that isn't your cup of earl gray...then I have no idea why you even clicked on this story. As this thing is so cracky that it even amazes me. Also the characters may out a little out of character, which I am sorry for.
Pairings: Steve/Tony, Loki/Thor, one sided! Chekhov/Steve, Bros!Clint and Bruce/Hulk and Clint/Natasha.
Disclaimer: Sadly I still do not own the avengers, or any of the marvel characters that appear in this fanfiction. I also don't own any of the characters from Harry Potter, the amazing J.K. Rowling owns them. The only characters I own are the narrator, chekhov, the little old lady and Freddy Gwen.

Chapter Fourteen- In which the narrator is a Albus Dumbledore fanboy
The fall season was slowly beginning, and so the school year was just around the corner. Albus Percival Wulfric Brain Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and Wizardry, was doing his preparations.
The day had been pretty normal, well as normal as life can be at Hogwarts, and Albus Dumbledore found himself waiting for something to happen. Ever since the morning, he had this feeling that something was about to happen, and seeing how he was the most powerful wizard in the world his feelings were usually right. The others had noticed Dumbledore's odd stern behaviour, and were all prepared for the worst. Cause if Albus Dumbledore had a stern face on that meant something was going to happen. The only one that wasn't worried was Severus Snape, the potions professor and Albus Dumbledore's favourite. Something that everyone and just excepted as a part of Dumbledore's odd quirks. The reason why Severus Snape wasn't worry that someone was going to happen was simple.
"If I had learned anything in the last six years is that nothing every happens here that doesn't centre around Potter and his friends. Seeing as he isn't here until September, thank god for some small mercies, we shouldn't worry." Snape had said, before wondering off, murmuring insults about Potter under his breath.
The other professors could not help but agree with this statement. In the last few years every thing that had happened had been centred around Harry Potter. Which made sense, as he was the main character but that still didn't explain Dumbledore actions. Unlike Snape, who had experience with Dumbledore's serious side, the others were used to Dumbledore being the funny but wise headmaster. They just weren't use to Dumbledore serious face, as they only saw it as a sigh that something bad was about to happen.
Anyway back at Dumbledore's office, Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk, writing something on a piece of parchment. He looked up from the parchment to stare at his empty office, like he was expecting someone. It was then that the narrator made his appearance.
With a sudden popping noise, the narrator made his/her/it's appearance. The narrator, in case you were wondering what she/he/it looks like, had no physical shape. He/She/It was a living shadow, twisting and changing shape at every moment. At one point he could like a man-like shape, and the next she could look like a female-like shape. If Dumbledore was surprised by the narrator's suddenly appearance, he didn't show it. In stead, he placed his quill down and placed his hands together.
"Hello there, how may I help you?" Dumbledore asked, eyeing his wand(that lay by his right elbow), as he spoke.
The narrator smiled, it was a big and goofy fan boy like smile, "First off, can I just say how much of a fan I am? I can't believe that I am in the presents of Albus Dumbledore!" He cried happily, rushing forward to shake Dumbledore's hand.
Dumbledore relaxed, finally taking his eyes off his wand, "It's a pleasure to meet you. Always happen to meet a fan, no matter their species." He shook a part of the shadowily creature, assuming that it was the thing's arm. "May I ask your name?"
The narrator brought back its shadow arm, staring at it like he was never going to wash it again, "I'm the narrator and I have a favour to ask of you."
Dumbledore raised a single eyebrow, "Oh, what is this favour?"
Meanwhile, our heroes finally stopped falling thought space and landing with a pop on the castle grounds. Not that any one of them noticed there new surroundings, as they were all to busy gathering around Chekhov, who had Steve in his arms. Steve was still not awake, and he seemed to get paler by the moment.
As soon as they had landed Tony had ran up to Chekhov's side, to grasp at Steve's hand, "Steve!" He cried, raising one hand to trail it down his face. Guilt filled him then, as his eyes fell onto the holes in Steve's neck.
"What is going on?!" Clint asked, sitting to Chekhov's left, "What happened to the captain?"
Chekhov glared at Tony, "I'll tell you what happened, Tony bite him."
The group grasped, and turned there attention to Tony, whose guilt was getting worst by the second. 'If only if I had been stronger...if only I had turned Steve down...' He gripped Steve's hand tighter.
Bruce opened his mouth to ask what had happened, but he stopped when he saw the look on Tony's face. Clint, on the other hand. Had no problem with raising a arm and taking hold of Tony's shirt.
"Tony, what the hell? What were you thinking?!" He shook Tony, anger clear on his face. Bruce quickly moved, placing a hand on Clint's shoulder.
"Look, I don't know what happened but right now that isn't important. We need to get Steve some help."
Clint nodded, letting go of Tony and standing up, "Your right, but I want the story out of you later Stark." It was then that he noticed where they were.
"Oh my god..."
The others all looked up then, and froze. Right there in front of them was a castle. A very familiar castle.
"Is that, Hogwarts?!" Peter cried, his eye wide.
The Harry Potter music started up, as suddenly the front doors of the castle opened and the one and only Albus Dumbledore made his way down the cliff to them.
The group could only watch in pure amazement, as one of the most famous fictional characters made his way down to them, with a wide smile on his face. Finally he stood before them, his eyes twilling with amusement.
"Good evening Avengers and friends, welcome to hogwarts." He turned to look at Steve's sleeping form, "The narrator has informed me about everything. Follow me, Madam Pomfrey is waiting in the hospital to take care of your friend."
The group couldn't even speak, they were froze in shock, Dumbledore just smiled at them. After several minutes, Fury was the first to speak, "Well what are you waiting for show the way!" He crossed his bare arms(as he was still shirtless), and stare at Dumbledore, waiting for him to move. Dumbledore turned, and started to walk towards the castle, the smile growing on his face.
As the group walked up to hogwarts, looks of pure child like glee on their faces, Dumbledore allowed himself to think about his meeting with the narrator.
Dumbledore stared over his hands at the narrator, "So you want me help you get Steve Rogers and Tony Stark together?"
The narrator nodded, "Yup."
Dumbledore raised a eyebrow, "Your asking me to let a group of people, that have no magic..."
"Oh I can take care of that." The narrator cut in.
Dumbledore continued on, "To enter my school, just so you can create a bunch of events to get Tony and Steve together?"
"Yes?" The narrator said nervously, as he/she/it could not tell if Dumbledore was agreeing to help or about to turn him into a frog.
Dumbledore smiled, "Okay. I'll help."
The narrator couldn't help but let his shock colour his voice, "Really you'll help?!"
Dumbledore nooded, "Of course! I love manipulating people! Its part of my character. Though you need to do a favour for me as well."
The narrator could only nod, "Sure, what do you want?"
"Well you see, I have a deep affection for Severus Snape and..."
The flashback ended, and Dumbledore found himself in the hospital. Steve was layed out on a bed, and the avengers were gathered around him.
"He is going to be okay...right?" Peter asked, staring down at Steve pale form.
"He'll be fine, Madam Pomfrey knows what she is doing." Dumbledore answered him, looking around at their faces he frowned, "The narrator told me that they were two others with you. Why are they?"
It was at that moment that the avengers, you had been focussed on Steve, suddenly noticed that Thor and Loki were not with them.
"Shit. Where is Thor and Loki?" Chekhov asked. No one could answer him.]
Thor and Loki, in case you are wondering. Were sitting in the middle of the forbidden forest, making out. Uncaring that they were making out in one of the most dangerous places of the Harry Potter universe.
Unknown to them they were being watched by a large spider, that was thinking of making them his evening snack. Before it could make his way down, he was stooped by a loud snapping sound.
Blinking, the spider(named Freddy Gwen), looked behind himself. "Hello?" Freddy asked, his eight eyes looking around, "Is someone there?" No one answered.
Shrugging its non existence shoulders, Freddy turn back to face his targets. Sadly, for him, someone was there. Someone that been waiting for awhile to make his appearance in this fanfiction.
One Phil Coulson, stepped out of the dark.
"I leave for one mission and you guys get in trouble. I can't leave you guys alone for a second." He sighed, quickly pulling out his gun and pointing it at the spider.
"Your lucky I am such a fan favourite or the narrator would have never brought me here." With that he shot the spider dead.
The chapter ends, with Thor and Loki coming up for a air, and looking up to see Phil.
Thus the avengers time in the harry potter universe began. Unknowing that soon they will be facing their greatest challenge.
You-know-who.
End of Chapter 14~
