Tony's Pov
I sat on the settee in the drawing room in a staring contest with the pale gremlin with bat ears and hooked nose that simply popped into the room after Eli called for him.
"Kreacher, please treat our guests with the utmost respect. This is Violetta's father Anthony Stark, his partner Pepper Potts, and his friend James Rhodes. Treat them as you would me."
The Kreacher gave a haughty snort and mumbled something under his breath giving me a condescending look up and down before speaking,
"This muggle helped create my brave mistress?" His crotchety voice spoke in disbelief.
Someone's got a stick up their ass.
"Yes Kreacher, this is Violetta's father so please treat them with respect." A woman spoke up with a slight southern accent walking into the room, making the elf give a lofty sniff.
"Of course my lady." The elf gave a respectful bow to the elegant woman wearing a long sleeve mint green chiffon dress.
"Please prepare the garden for us, Kreacher, we will commune out there." She gave him a slight smile making him bow again and he gave me another disdainful look with narrowed eyes before popping back out of the room.
She then turned her attention to us giving us a warm smile and suddenly I got the urge to bow just like Kreacher.
She had to be Genny's mom. They had almost the same face with very little differences.
"Hello, I'm Margot Bonham. It's wonderful to finally meet you."
All of a sudden I didn't know what to do with my hands, Pepper took pity on me and spoke up first.
"It's nice to meet you Lady Bonham, we can't thank you enough for having us today. I'm Pepper Potts." She gave Pep a gentle smile pulling her into a friendly hug, kissing both cheeks.
"It's very nice to meet you Pepper. And please call me Margot." The more she spoke, the more I could place her accent as distinctively New Orleanian.
Rhodey spoke up next with a small voice crack making me and Eli grin, I wasn't the only one stunned by Margot Bonham.
"I-I'm James Rhodes, but everyone calls me Rhodey."
"Hello Rhodey." She greeted him the same as Pep and I could have sworn I saw him kick his foot like a shy little kid.
She finally turned back to me and smiled softly, "It's nice to finally put a face to the name, welcome Anthony." She pulled me into a gentle motherly hug making me let out a soft almost inaudible sigh, and she squeezed me just a little bit tighter before pulling back. She gave me her signature kisses before grabbing my hold of my cheeks softly.
"She has your eyes." She said tenderly, making me grin.
"So I've been told." I said proudly, making her chuckle a bit.
"Letty is getting ready upstairs with her friend Hermione, but the boys should be back any second now. They were just making a quick stop at the shops to get some of Letty's favorite sweets." She gestured for us to take a seat.
"The boys?" Rhodey spoke up, but I already knew who she meant.
Harry and Dean.
"Yes, our grandson Harry and Letty's boyfriend Dean," Margot smiled and then grinned at the look on my face, "we gained custody of Harry when he was 11 and Letty has been with Dean since they were 15, he's a wonderful addition to the family."
Just then the fireplace roared with green flames as someone stepped through the floo.
"Ah just in time." Eli grinned as a pale skinny boy, who I recognized from the pictures as Harry, adjusted his glasses and moved out of the way as the floo roared once more.
Out stepped a tall, lithe brown skin boy carrying a brown bag.
Dean.
First chance I get I'm pulling him to the side to give him a thorough description of what happens to someone who pisses off a Stark and what he should do to remain on my good side e.i. keeping his hands and other body parts to himself, and most importantly away from my child.
Pepper nudged my side making me grumble under my breath.
"Hello my darlings, did you get everything off this list? I know Sugarplum's has been quite busy within the past few weeks." Margot gave them both a kiss on the cheek as a greeting.
"Yeah, we just told her it was for Vio and she made a fresh batch of each." Dean held up the bag with a proud grin.
"Swear she's her favorite customer." Harry snorted.
"Vio practically brought out the place every time I took her to the alley." Eli chuckled, grabbing the bag before calling for Kreacher again.
"Master called for Kreacher?" The little gremlin bowed to Eli.
"Please set these treats out in the garden for dessert after our lunch."
"Of course Master." He gave a bow and popped away, but not before giving the stank eye to Harry.
Looks like he's on his shit list too, nice to know it's not just me.
"Now more introductions can be made," Margot turned them toward us, "boys this is Letty's father Anthony, his partner Pepper, and his best friend Rhodey. This is our grandson Harry and Letty's boyfriend Dean." She finished pointing to each boy respectfully.
I simply kept my glare focused on Dean.
He noticed and just grinned back.
Smug little bastard.
"It's nice to meet you boys." Pep spoke up smiling, shaking both of their hands.
She turned back, giving me and Rhodey a pointed look making us sigh.
"Hi, it's nice to meet you guys." Rhodey stepped up giving the boys both a handshake, but didn't fail to stare Dean down.
That's right honey bear, show that little shit who's in charge.
I was once more pinched on my side by Pepper as she muttered, "Go introduce yourself and be nice."
I stopped in front of Harry first, "You can call me Tony, Anthony is a bit too stuffy for my tastes."
"Alright then Tony, it's nice to finally meet you." The wizard messiah gave me a goofy grin before I looked up at Dean.
Damn him and his height.
"You can call me Mr. Stark."
"It's nice to meet you Mr. Stark. I'm a big fan of your work." The tall boy gave me an unflappable smile, making my eye twitch.
I saw Eli and Kingsley silently chuckling out of the corner of my eye while Remus simply shook his head with a small grin.
"Why don't we all make ourselves comfortable in the garden while we wait for the girls," Margot gave me a knowing smile before gesturing to the open French doors leading outside, "Letty's nerves were in a bit of a tizzy this morning."
"Is she alright, I mean is she feeling ok? I know this is probably a lot for her. I mean it's a lot for me too, but I don't want her to be uncomfortable or anything…" I rambled as the nerves set back in.
"She'll be fine Tony don't worry," Kingsley patted my back with a smile, "Vio's a tough nut, just jitters is all."
"Besides, she worked out most of her nerves yesterday when she hexed Kingsley. My little Vio isn't the best at expressing her feelings so a little sparing every now and then is quite therapeutic for her." Eli smiled proudly, while Kingsley looked at him with disbelief and the rest of the magicals all let out barks of laughter, even Margot.
"Unbelievable, does no one respect the fact that I'm the bloody Minister now?!" The tall man shook his head in bafflement.
"No." His uncle said bluntly shrugging.
"Honestly Kings you should know to have a shield ready when breaking news to Letty, I learned that after first year. So you truly have no excuse." Harry shook his head, taking a seat.
"Does Letty usually react harshly to upsetting news?" Rhodey asked not with fear in his voice, but genuine curiosity.
"Like Papa Eli said Vio is not the best at expressing herself. To people who don't know her it might seem like she's allergic to feelings of any sort besides sarcasm," Dean spoke up with a fond smile, "She's got a strong magical core, and when you keep your emotions bottled up like she does, sometimes it lashes out. Everyone who truly knows her, knows that sometimes she needs an outlet. She's gotten better over the years, but for obvious reasons she's a bit testy lately when it comes to certain things. Meeting you all is a bit of a sore subject for her, so her reaction was a bit volatile. She might seem a bit tense and aloof at times, but she's got a heart of gold."
The boy had a tender smile on his face making Pepper and Rhodey let out a small aww.
"Traitor." I grumbled to my honey bear.
"It was sweet, sue me." He grumbled back.

Letty's Pov
I paced back and forth in front of my gold framed Venetian mirror, changing my clothes for the third time that morning.
"Vi, you look like someone is sending you to the noose, not like you're meeting your father for the first time. You really don't look like yourself." Hermione spoke up from her spot lounging on the settee, stationed in front of my bed.
"I don't want to look too stuffy Mia, the other robes Nanan picked out are too stiff." I huffed, taking a seat next to her, straightening out the skirt of the black chiffon dress my gran had put on her approved list for meeting my father.
My father.
Isn't that a hippogriff kick to the noggin'?
"Well none of these are you. Why don't you take this one off and change into something that makes you more comfortable. He's your father Vio, he's not going to treat you differently if you're wearing jeans and trainers." Mione smiled, nudging me toward my wardrobe.
When Kings broke the news to me yesterday, I was furious. I might have overreacted a bit with a small hex, but my big cousin should know better by now to have a shield up when telling me upsetting news.
I mean honestly it's not like he hasn't known me my entire life.
I had been set on not searching for Stark, and not having any contact with the man. Even if Voldemort was dead, a lot of his insane followers were not. There were still plenty of them at large who would love the chance to get payback for their beloved master's demise.
Even if Stark was a muggle hero now, he was still a muggle.
I don't know how his weapons would hold up against a pissed off, delusional death eater hell bent on revenge. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if he got hurt or killed because of his connection to me.
Hell, Dean's family home had been burned to the ground because they were able to make a connection between us. It was a miracle that Tonks and Uncle Moony were able to get them out before anyone got hurt.
I pulled out a pair of khaki cargo pants, a vintage black shirt with the Queen logo on the front that Sirius got me the Christmas before he was killed, and a pair black and white Nike trainers that Dean's stepdad Vincent had gotten me for my 16th birthday.
As I walked out of the wardrobe a sharp pain settled in my back making me suck in a breath trying to hide it from Mione, but she saw the grimace on my face.
She sighed going over to the case on the dresser. She didn't say a word, just opened the bottle and handed it to me with a stern look.
"Letty if there was ever a time to take your potion it's today."
I just took the bottle and swallowed grimacing.
"Sorry." I said quietly looking down.
"Vio you have to do a better job of taking care of yourself. You have people who love you, and people who want to become a part of your life. If you won't do it for yourself, do it for us." Mione's eyes started to glisten as she took hold of my hands.
"I'm sorry Mia, I'll do better. I'm trying, I really am." I sniffed back a tear grabbing her in a hug, she gave me a kiss on the cheek making me snort and we giggled pulling out of our embrace.
"You're my sister Vio I need you."
"You're my sister too Mia, I promise that you'll be stuck with me for a long time."
"Knock, knock. Everyone decent?"
Dean called out as he and Harry opened my bedroom door.
"Yes, even if I wasn't, it's nothing you haven't seen before." I grinned at my boyfriend making him snort and my godbrother glare at me.
"You can't help yourself can you?" Harry groaned, shaking his head at me.
"No I really can't." I smiled leaning into Dean as he wrapped an arm around my waist.
"Are you feeling ok?" The tall boy asked softly as he laid a gentle kiss on my facial scar.
Dean always tried to make me feel less self conscious about my scars, always greeting me with a kiss on them.
"Yeah, I think I'll be alright if I have you all with me," I said truthfully, "Is he down there already?"
"Yeah we've been sent up here to retrieve you, he's brought his missus and his best friend with him," Harry smiled gently before his smile slowly turned into a grin, "I can't say he's the biggest fan of Dean though. I'm pretty sure he's waiting for his chance to give him the shovel talk." My godbrother couldn't hide his glee, making me glare at him.
"Was he mean to you?" I looked up at Dean with narrow eyes making him chuckle and kiss my forehead.
"No love, he's just reacting like any father would meeting their daughter's boyfriend. It's nothing I can't handle. Besides his missus Pepper was perfectly pleasant and I think I've even won over his friend Rhodey already. It won't take long to get on his good side darling, he's just trying to protect your virtue I guess." Easy going as ever, Dean simply shrugged giving me a reassuring peck on the lips making me huff.
"As if I need a man to protect my virtue. I can protect myself, thank you very much. This isn't the 1600s." I muttered, making everyone laugh.
"Besides there's not much virtue left for him to protect. We all know what you two get up to in the broom closet." Harry muttered, making me throw a stinging hex at him.
"Ow Vio! I'm telling Gran!" Harry glared rubbing his arm making me stick my tongue out at him.
"And these are 2 of our saviors." Hermione rolled her eyes rubbing her temples.
A/N:
Dean: breathes
Tony: he's corrupting my baby, he must be destroyed
I picture Tony saying Dean's name the same way Drake and Josh say Meghan's. If you know you know.
