Recap
Meanwhile, at MI6 headquarters...
Vernon and Petunia had going on close to about seven hours of intense interrogation from the agents. When they were finally out of the interrogation room and took their cells; was when they fell asleep
However, the agents were surprised by what they had learned from the interrogation of Vernon and Petunia that they were completely disgusted how they had treated the young Lord Potter.
One of the agents spoke, "I guess one of us will have to inform both Agent Peverell and her fiancé about what we have found out and learned."
Another agent spoke, "Yeah, but we know how angry Agent Phoenix will be by this information."
A third agent spoke, "I can only imagine what it will be like with both Agent Phoenix's and her fiancé's temper will be like together when they learn of this information."
The three agents suddenly trembled in fear in what to expect from Agent Phoenix and her fiancé with their tempers combined.
So, the unlucky agent that went to give the MI6 interrogation report to Agent Phoenix and her fiancé was Agent Alex Remaris (the third agent) and he wasn't sure what to expect when he handed the report to them. So, he made his way to young Lord Potter's hospital room to give the report to them immediately and hoped that he wouldn't witness their anger.
When he reached the door, he told the guard well agent that he was there to hand Agent Phoenix and her fiancé the interrogation report on the Dursleys.
The guard let him in and when he walked in; he saw them giving the young Potter a hug. However, he decided to clear his throat to let them know that he was there.
Nix, Tony, and Harry looked directly at him immediately.
"Agent Phoenix, here's the interrogation report on the Dursleys, ma'am." Alex said handing the papers to her.
Phoenix took the papers and began reading them and Tony was looking over her shoulder now and was reading it as well. Their eyes were starting to get brighter in color or it looked like their eyes were changing colors.
Alex had weird notion to suddenly cast a protective shield over himself and Harry automatically. Then he quietly told Harry, "Some of us know of Agent Peverell's temper and I am sure that Lord Claiborne-Stark has witness it at some point but I am not sure about their tempers together because now they will have to protect as well as prepare you at all costs since this has happened."
Harry just stared at the man and then he heard what sounded like an explosion to see the window behind his Aunt and Uncle had just disappeared .
Moments later, doctors and nurses came running in only to see that the room's window completely knocked out of the wall and onto the pavement below.
"What happened?" A doctor asked curiously.
"I gave the MI6 interrogation report on the Dursleys to Agent Phoenix and since her and Lord Claiborne-Stark are soulmates; it's possible that their magic is so in tune with each other that if they are both upset then it's possible it may cause a bigger reaction." Alex suggested.
Meanwhile, Harry noticed that his Aunt and Uncle were sitting there and their eyes changed a different color but they were blinking in confusion for a moment or two because they seemed to be shocked by what had just happened and their eyes had seemed to return to normal.
"Are they okay?" A nurse asked looking at Tony and Phoenix worriedly.
Alex turned around and saw that both Phoenix and her fiancé were sitting there in shock.
"Um...Mr. Remaris , I don't know why but I think that my Aunt and Uncle weren't aware that something like that could happen." Harry said softly to himself.
Lady Fate heard what Harry had said and spoke by saying, "You're correct, young Potter. They weren't aware of that happening."
Harry and the others looked at the three deities standing in the room that hadn't left since the encounter with Minerva and Severus.
"What do you mean?" Alex questioned curiously looking at the three deities.
"I think that Phoenix's and Tony's soulmate bond maybe the rarest of soulmate bonds just as the bloodline feud is the rarest feud to ever be issued." Lord Death said looking at Lady Magic for an answer.
Lady Magic sighed and said, "It's not rare; it's the rarest form of a soulmate bond because they have become so in tune with each other that they can feel each other's emotions, pain, and possibly more. However, I never thought any magical soulmate bond could reach it and yet; they have and I wonder how they did."
Both Phoenix and Tony looked at each other for a moment or two. Then Nix said, "Is it possible that when I suggested/said that I wish to combine my bloodline with that of Tony's bloodline that that's what may have caused Tony and I to be a bit more powerful unexpectedly when we were both upset over the report?"
"Possibly. However, look at your emotional connection did." Lord Death said pointing towards the window use to be.
Both Nix and Tony looked where Lord Death was pointing and were completely shocked with their mouths gaping from the unbelievable shock that they were in; because they were shocked that the window was gone.
"Something tells me that you two weren't exactly expecting that. So, I can only assume that you two were upset about something in the report?" Alex said.
"Yes!" Both Nix and Tony said together.
"What was it?" The deities asked in unison.
"Let's say that it was an unpleasant experience for Harry sort of rated R in a movie and leave it at that." Nix said.
Alex's eyes along with the doctors and nurses eyes went completely wide in shock as well as disgusted that an adult would allow something like that happen to a child.
Harry looked at his Aunt and said quietly, "You know about what happened, don't you?"
Nix and Tony will not lie to Harry; so they nodded.
Harry looked down until Tony said, "Kid, trust me when I say this...your Aunt and I are going to make sure that no one ever hurts you again. Also, we are going to get you caught up in your studies on Magic and non-magic. We will do everything that we can to help you recover from your mistreatment from the Dursleys."
"Tony is right, Harry. You are with us now and we will do everything to help to get over what happened to you while you were living with Dursleys. Also, you should not have been put through something like that. So, we will charging the boys who did that to you with sexual assault to a minor because they shouldn't have done that!" Nix said.
Harry looked at both his Aunt and Uncle from America again and was actually surprised by how much they really cared for him. He couldn't help but cry but he was crying because he had people that actually and truly cared about him now.
Several hours later, a doctor came in and told Tony and Nix that they could take Harry home; but he needed a lot of rest and some good meals along with some family time now that he was with good people.
Time Skip to a year later *
Tony and Harry where in Diagon Alley, but they were waiting for Nix in front of Gringotts because she had gotten called in at the last minute for one last mission for MI6.
"Uncle Tony, why did Aunt Nix get called in, so suddenly?" Harry asked curiously.
"Well, Harry, I can only guess that her Majesty wanted her best Agent for one last mission before she retired. However, I have a feeling that Nix will pick up her gear again if you or even there's trouble that requires immediate action." Tony said.
"I guess that makes sense, Uncle Tony. However, I am happy that you and Aunt Nix saved me when you did about a year ago." Harry said.
Tony smiled at Harry and said, "The only thing that Nix and I wish we could have done was get to before hand but for some reason we couldn't. Then we got here and went to Gringotts; we found out why we couldn't have found until we did. Trust me, when I say that Nix lost her cool that day."
"Aunt Nix told me about it when I was in the hospital, but I didn't get hear it from you at the time." Harry said.
Suddenly, some people approached Tony and Harry.
"Hello, Lord Claiborne-Stark and Mr. Potter." The woman said.
A young girl gasped at hearing the woman address the young boy. The girl's parents gasped at hearing the name Stark.
"Hello, Lady McGonagall." Tony said.
"Hello, Professor McGonagall." Harry said.
"Where's your fiancé, Lord Claiborne-Stark?" Mineralized asked.
"She got a last minute call in from her job, but she'll be here." Tony said.
Then the girl said, "Holy cricket, you're Harry Potter! I have read all about you!"
Harry looked at the girl not amused and said, "Don't believe everything you read because sometimes people can exaggerate things."
"I'm Hermione Granger." The girl said.
"Nice to meet you." Harry said.
Minerva and Tony were still talking when suddenly they heard AC DC playing. Both Tony and Harry looked up suddenly.
"Where's that music coming from?" Mr. Granger questioned.
Everyone in Diagon Alley was hearing the music as well and then they noticed that two people were looking up at the sky ; so they ended up looking at the sky and were shocked to see a woman free falling but she wasn't on a broom but what looked like a board of some kind.
"How is she doing that?" Mrs. Granger questioned.
"Years of training experience of jumping out of airplanes, ma'am." Tony said still watching his fiancé.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Granger gasped at hearing that. However, Hermione simply said, "There's no way that's even possible?!"
Harry turned from the sky and looked at Hermione saying, "My Aunt is/ was in her Majesty's Royal Navy and she is capable of things that no one could possibly think of except Uncle Tony."
Tony chuckled at hearing his nephew saying that
Moments later, Nix landed perfectly beside Tony and Harry. Everyone in Diagon Alley was shocked by how the woman had made an entrance that they looked at the man and the young man that she was now standing beside.
Then they heard the older man say, "Nice entrance, honey."
"Thank you, dear. I have to admit that the timing was on point and a bit of an adrenaline rush." The woman said.
"Aunt Nix, um...what's with the bruises and scratches and is that a gunshot wound?" Harry said worriedly.
Minerva's eyes were wide with shock as were the Grangers at what Harry had just said.
"Don't worry, Harry. I have literally have been worse than this and Tony knows it." Nix said.
Tony chuckled and said, "I can definitely vouch for that because Nix actually tracked down a kidnapper that had me and he immediately regretted it which surprised my parents, my godmother, and my best friend. Of course, that was when we were becoming friends and before we signed a marriage contract."
Harry was shocked to learn that his Uncle Tony had been kidnapped several times and his Aunt Nix would always rescue him. That he looked at his Uncle with questioning look.
"Harry, if thinking that I was embarrassed being saved by a woman then you're wrong because believe it or not; I wasn't sure if what she had told me about her job being dangerous was true at the time until I saw it for myself when she rescued me several times." Tony said.
Nix smiled at both Tony and Harry then she said, "Harry, one thing you have to understand; Tony had become my friend and I don't like it when someone hurts any of my friends or anyone that I consider family."
Then it was Mr. Granger that asked, "How did you meet Tony Stark?"
Nix looked at the man and said, "I actually bumped into him after finding that my cousin that I thought of as brother was murdered as was his wife and I wondered what had happened to their son. I was lost in thought when I bumped into him along with his family and his best friend. I didn't exactly pay attention to my surroundings at the time because I was in shock of the news that I had received."
Mrs. Granger was shocked to hear that the woman had met Tony Stark after getting news of death of a family member.
Hermione was about to say something about how the woman looked because she had seen several women dressed in sophistication and success; when the man said," Nix, I think we need to head in with our meeting with Ragnrok over several things with Harry so he is aware of certain things."
"Okay." Nix said.
"Aunt Nix?" Harry said.
"Hmm?" Nix said.
"Don't you think that you need to clean up?" Harry questioned.
Nix just snapped her fingers which surprised everyone except Tony and Harry. They watched in awe as the woman who was mere wreck a few moments ago; was now dressed most elegantly and all of her bruises and more were gone that you couldn't even tell that she had been doing something dangerous.
"How is that possible?!" Hermione questioned.
"Aunt Nix has this unique way with her magic because she's in tune with her magic and she's traveled a lot for her work before she met Uncle Tony." Harry said with a smile.
"Nix can surprise you sometimes and that's what makes her unique." Tony said.
Minerva was surprised that Harry was smiling and enjoying being with Lord Claiborne-Stark and Lady Phoenix Peverell because she recalled her and Severus had seen him when he had been in the hospital before he went with his guardians that he had now.
"What's with the walking cane?" Hermione asked curiously.
Before Nix or Harry could answer her; Tony looked at her and said, "I designed it myself and it didn't take very long to do so. It does come in handy at times especially with the unique design that I had come up with and last but not least it can store the wand inside."
"Considering that you got to work on it; a few days after Harry got home." Nix said.
Tony just smiled.
Then Harry said, "It was fun to watch Uncle Tony work on it, Aunt Nix. Although, he did say that he might make another but he's not sure yet."
"Well, Harry, I stand behind Tony all the way because he was always there for me. So basically, we have each other's back." Nix said.
Minerva and the Grangers were actually surprised to hear her say something like that. However, Minerva wondered what Lady Peverell meant by what she had just said. Then they followed them into the bank where she was going to show the Grangers how to turn muggle money into galleons that witches and wizards use to pay for things.
Meanwhile, Nix, Tony, and Harry were escorted to Ragnrok's office for a meeting.
After the Grangers were done with helping their daughter with money; they went with McGonagall to see the shops.
"Professor, how did Harry's Aunt and Uncle actually meet each other? I mean they don't exactly tell you how they met each other?" Hermione said.
"Well, I am not sure myself about how they met each other, Miss Granger. All I can tell you is that Lord Claiborne-Stark's fiancé and him met in either in New York or near the school that he was attending at the time. They are very private at how they met each other." Minerva said.
"That would make sense considering that Tony Stark is a billionaire and heir apparent to his father's company in America." Mr. Granger said.
Minerva blinked at hearing that because when she had met them when Harry was in the hospital; they were vague on giving any information to her and Severus.
Meanwhile, in Ragnrok's office...
Nix, Tony, and Harry were sitting across from Ragnrok discussing the issue that Albus Dumbledore has caused for everyone in the magical community of Britain. Also, Nix mentioned about what Harry had told her about the Young Granger girl.
"Well, I can see that has young Mr. Potter upset?" Ragnrok said.
"I just don't like the idea that someone is making a profit off of me and writing thing that are not true!" Harry said upset, "I mean the least they could do is give some of the profits that they are making to some sort of charity or even to me; which I could give the profits to a charity that I choose."
Suddenly, Tony had idea and said well more like suggested , "What if we took those profits owed to Harry and made a charity for those children that are magical to non magical parents as well as magical parents like a scholarship for parents that can't pay for the schooling as well as like a special orphanage for them to get away from abuse that they had suffered under their families which would include squibs as well."
Harry looked at his Uncle Tony and said, "That's a good idea, Uncle Tony. So, let's also add magical creatures because we don't know exactly how their lives are besides of how the Ministry of Magic treats them." Harry said.
Nix and Tony smiled agreeing to what Harry was suggesting.
Ragnrok was stunned to hear that but he was appreciative of what young Lord Harry Potter was doing along with his Aunt and Uncle from the States. Then he asked, "What will this place be called?"
"It will be called Magical Arch of Hope." Harry said firmly.
Tony and Nix were surprised by the name but they just smiled at Harry. However, they continued their meeting with Ragnrok and discussed more things that would probably rattle Albus Dumbledore and those that were going along with his schemes.
At Hogwarts...
Albus Dumbledore hoped that his pawns would be able to change Harry Potter at the starting of term. However, little did he know that Harry Potter had been given certain instructions by his Aunt and Uncle to inform the Dark Lord of what exactly was going on should he meet him.
He had managed to set everything up for Harry and he believed that there was nothing anybody could do including Harry's new guardians; however, what he didn't know is that Harry's new guardians were completely aware of what he had done and knew that there was no way for Harry and Voldemort to escape the so called prophecy.
Back with Nix, Tony, and Harry...
They had just finished their meeting with Ragnrok and decided to take Harry to get his things for school along with several other things that he might need.
When they arrived at Olivander's; the man was absolutely delighted to see them and he let Harry try several different wands until he gave him the wand that was to be the twin of Voldemort's wand.
"Curious...very curious." Olivander said.
"Excuse me, but what's your curious?" Harry asked.
"Mr. Potter, I recall every wand that I have sold and it's curious that you are destined for that wand when its brother gave you that scare." Olivander said.
All of sudden, both Nix's eyes and Tony's eyes started doing the same thing once again that they had done unexpectedly at the hospital a year ago over the MI6 report.
Harry took notice as did Olivander which startled him a bit because he had never seen anything like.
Olivander looked at them and said, "How is it possible that your magica seems to affect your eyes?"
"We're not even sure at the moment but we may have a theory about it." Nix said.
"As far as we know is that this is a second time that it has happened publicly but if it has happened at home then we weren't aware of it." Tony said.
Harry looked at Mr. Olivander and said, "It's possible that their eyes may change color because it concerns me. Of course, it is just a theory or part of our theory so far."
Several hours later, they had finished shopping in Diagon Alley and decided to go home to the Stark Flat in London.
The Stark Flat...
"Hello, Sirs and Miss. Welcome back, also Sir, you a phone call from Mr. Rhodes."
"Thanks, Jarvis. I will call Rhodey soon." Tony said.
Nix looked at Tony and said, "Rhodey, probably wants to know why you've been in London for a while, Tony."
Harry looked at both his Aunt and Uncle and said, "I'm going to my room and put my things away as well as get everything organized in my trunk for shock."
Both Tony and Nix looked at Harry and said, "Okay."
Harry walked into his room and started putting everything away that was going with him to Hogwarts in his trunk then he put away of the rest of his things in his closet in his room since he had started living with Tony and Nix. It had also taken him a while to get use to Jarvis the AI that his Uncle Tony had created.
Then a knock came on the door.
"Come in." Harry said.
"Kiddo, Nix wanted me to ask you, what would you like for dinner?" Tony said.
"Anything is fine, Uncle Tony." Harry said.
"Okay, kiddo. Also, Nix and I may have added a few compartments to your trunk for you to choose what to do with like create your own lab/workshop if you want to." Tony said.
"Thanks for that, Uncle Tony and Aunt Nix. In a way, it will make feel better to know that I could possibly go inside my trunk and talk with the two of you privately at Hogwarts and not have to send Hedwig long distances." Harry said.
Tony chuckled and said, "You're welcome, kiddo. Besides, it has been nice to have you around. The only thing that really concerns me and Nix is if we have to be called back to the States and have to leave you by yourself here in London."
"I'll be fine, Uncle Tony because you and Aunt Nix taught me so much as well as how to defend myself should I need to. Plus, I also have to let Tom know about what you two found out." Harry said, "However, I am not sure what his reaction will be."
Tony sighed and said, "He'll probably have a reaction like you did when we told you. However, your Aunt Nix's reaction was ten times scary that it had startled everyone in the bank at the time. Your Aunt and I will keep you updated, Harry. Unless, we feel that we don't want to worry you and disrupt your education or your work after you graduate from Hogwarts."
Harry nodded in understanding because his Aunt and Uncle were always thinking of him first regardless of themselves. Which had surprised him at first but then he got use to because his Aunt Nix and Uncle Tony had showed him love that he had been denied while living with his Aunt Petunia and her family.
Moments later, there was another knock.
"Come in." Harry said.
Nix entered and asked, "Are you two coming to eat?"
"We're coming, Aunt Nix. We just sort of got talking." Harry said.
Nix chuckled and said, "I have no doubt about you two talking. I am happy that you are happy, Harry just as Tony is."
"It is still hard to get use to the fact that the two of you care so much about me. Yet, this is best that I have had since the two of you saved me from the Dursleys." Harry said.
Nix bristled which both Tony and Harry noticed; which usually isn't good but it usually happened if the Dursleys were mentioned or if it involved him or his Uncle Tony.
"Sir, Rhodey is calling."
"Put Rhodey on screen, Jarvis." Tony said.
A few minutes later, Rhodey appeared on the screen in Harry's room and said, "Tony, where are you and Nix?!"
"We are in London, Sour patch." Tony said causing Harry and Nix to laugh.
"Why are you and Nix in London, Tony?"
"We found Harry and we have been helping him." Tony said.
"Wait! Are you saying that you two finally found the kid?!"
Harry decided to step in view so Rhodey could see him and said, "Hi, Mr. Rhodes."
"Hello, kid. How old are you?"
"I am eleven years old. I know that I don't look it but Uncle Tony and Aunt Nix are helping me with that because I was abused by my mother's sister and her family. I am really happy that Uncle Tony and Aunt Nix got to me when they did or I probably wouldn't have made it." Harry said solemnly.
"Kid, Iam happy that they finally found you because they were both determined to do so. Howard and Maria were even determined as well because they considered you family since you were Nix's nephew and they all were willing to spend billions just to find you regardless of Howard wanting finding Captain America."
Tony bristled a bit at the mention of Captain America because it was because of the Captain America that his father and him didn't have a good relationship until Nix came along and showed them that just because of a friend was missing and he had been trying to give his godmother closure. However, it was Nix that made Howard realize that his family was just as important.
"One thing is for sure, is that if Captain America is ever found; is that he better not piss off Nix because she can be just as scary as Peggy Carter was and trust me when I say that a pissed off Nix is a dangerous Nix."
"Rhodey, I think about all of the British magical community found that out on the day that we arrived at Gringotts." Tony said.
"That's good to know, Tones."
Harry watched as his Uncle Tony talked with his best friend and he couldn't help but think that the acted like brothers to each other regardless of how different they were from each other.
"So, when will you and Nix return to the States?"
"I don't know, yet." Tony said.
Nix was now standing beside Harry who noticed that his Aunt was paying close attention to something in behind Rhodey. Then he heard Rhodey gasp with shock when he saw Nix and wondered why he had just gasped.
"Nix! I...um well..."
"Hello, Rhodey. I take it that I can still startle you because Tony is use to me walking quietly up behind him." Nix simply said.
"Geez, you can really startle a person, you know that! I mean there were times when you even startled Howard unexpectedly."
"I didn't mean to, but with my job; stealth was basically an important quality in more ways than one." Nix said.
Harry laughed and Tony chuckled. Then Nix turned towards them and said, "Dinner's ready and it's getting cold." Then walked out of the room.
So, Tony wrapped up the call and then he and Harry joined Nix for dinner in the dining room. They had some small conversation as they ate and Harry was extremely happy to get to go to the same school that his parents had went to.
"Kiddo, I have this gut wrenching feeling that Nix and I will be called back to the States for my parents funeral. However, with that being said, I created you a watch which Jarvis is built into and he can contact us should you need to talk with us." Tony said.
Harry nodded and said, "At least, that will give Hedwig a break or at least she won't have to travel that far."
"That's true and I have no doubt that she could make the journey; but if there is horrible weather then it would be too dangerous for her. In other words, we will treat Hedwig like family as well and if you have no choice to send Hedwig then we will make sure that she's well rested." Tony said.
"Tony is correct, Harry. Also, Jarvis can keep you updated as well in case; we need let you know what's going on with us." Nix said.
"That's good to know." Harry said.
Tony and Nix looked at each other for moment then looked at Harry with a smile.
"What?" Harry questioned curiously.
"Kiddo, just so you know, I like to give people nicknames. Although, I have to admit I am having a hard time coming up with a nickname for you." Tony said with a grin.
"You are, Uncle Tony?" Harry questioned curiously.
"Yeah because none of the nicknames that I come up with for you seem right. However, Nix told me that your Dad had a nickname for you." Tony said.
"What was it?" Harry asked looking at both Tony and Nix.
"Well, sometimes when I visited when you were really young; I would hear James call you, Bambi." Nix said.
"Bambino seems to be an option." Tony said suddenly.
"I like both of the nicknames." Harry said, "I mean Bambi was the name of a fawn and Bambino sort of makes sense since Uncle Tony is part Italian."
Both Nix and Tony smiled at Harry and he returned their smile.
After a few minutes of talking with each other; they finally ate dinner. Then they had a bit of dessert and then went to bed because tomorrow they were going to Platform 9 3/4 for Harry to catch the Hogwarts Express.
Platform 9 3/4 quarters/ On the Hogwarts Express...
Tony, Nix, and Harry were walking towards platforms nine and ten. Suddenly , they heard a woman saying loudly that Platform 9 3/4 quarters was this way and that the station was packed full of Muggles.
Harry looked at his Aunt and Uncle saying quietly, "I think the American term for non-magicals is a lot better than what the British call them."
Both Tony and Nix nodded in agreement, then Tony said softly , "Apparently, the British are stricter with than the Americans even if some helped out in World War II. Even if some fought with Captain America at the time; although, I am not sure if the Captain realized that he was fighting alongside wizards and witches at the time."
Nix sighed and said, " Tony, it's possible that he might have known. Then again, James only told me what his father told him and that's pretty much how I knew about the Captain when he met all those years ago."
Tony nodding in understanding because he recalled Nix telling him, his parents, his godmother, and Rhodey that bit of information when they had met.
"Aunt Nix, I am still unclear about how you and Uncle Tony met; other than you two bumping into each other." Harry said.
"Well, you have understand, Harry, that when I had learned about you and your parents; I was in complete shock by the news that I wasn't exactly paying attention to my surroundings which didn't happen usually because of my job. However, I never expected to meet my soulmate in time for grieving and wanting to find you immediately." Nix said.
Harry was surprised but confused at the same time.
"If it helps, Bambino, my family and I had just left MIT after my graduation from getting my second degree from there. We were walking because we were going to a café near by that had a flower shop beside it. When Nix bumped into me; I think we were in front of a book shop before we reached the café." Tony said.
"So, it was love at first sight; even though you didn't know that you and Aunt Nix were soulmates until your mother said so or was it your father?" Harry said looking at his Uncle Tony.
"It was probably a bit of both considering that both Nix and I felt a spark of sorts between us." Tony answered Harry.
After a bit of conversation, they made their way towards the train after they had arrived on the platform. Tony seemed amazed by the scarlet steam engine that was taking Harry to his unique school then he looked at Nix who was also amazed.
"Wow!" Harry said.
Nix looked at the train and said, "I never understood why James loved the Hogwarts Express; but I think that I can see why he loved the train now." Nix said sarcastically.
Tony looked at his fiancé and started laughing.
"What's so funny, Uncle Tony?" Harry questioned curiously.
"Nix has been around me too long if she decides to sarcastic about a steam engine." Tony answered Harry.
Nix sighed and said, "Tony, if you think Scotty from Star Trek was a bit crazy calling the starship, USS Enterprise a lady then you would think James was related to him for way he would talk about the Hogwarts Express."
"Okay, now that's weird to know about my father." Harry said a little bit weirded out and with sarcasm.
Both Nix and Tony laughed with Harry joining in as he realized that he had just spoken sarcastically himself. While People just stared at them in confusion.
"Well, let's get your things on the train and we will see you on the Holidays, Bambino." Tony said.
"Okay, Zio Tony." Harry said.
Tony helped Harry put his trunk on the train and then Nix handed Hedwig to him; so the snowy owl could be with Harry in the compartment that he decides to sit in. After they had helped Harry get situated a bit; Harry told them goodbye giving them both a hug then boarded the train.
Tony and Nix watched as the train chug away and hoped that Harry would be okay with what he has to deal with; because of this forced prophecy.
On the train...
Harry walked down the aisle of compartments on the train until he found one to sit in. He placed Hedwig beside him inside her cage.
After he sat down, he pulled out one of his books on Foreign Languages and began to read; when the door of his compartment was opened. He looked up to see five people as the same age as him enter.
"Excuse me, but you mind if we join you?" The girl asked.
"Not all. May I ask you who you all are?" Harry asked curiously.
"Sure. I am Pansy and these are my friends, Draco Malloy, Blaise Zanabini, Crabb, and Goyle." The girl said, "And may I ask who are you?"
"My name is Harry Potter." Harry said putting his book down.
To say that Pansy and her friends were completely stunned to know that they were sitting with the Boy-Who-Lived.
They strike up a conversation with Harry in order to get to know the boy who lived and they were surprised to learned that he had been living with Muggles until he was rescued by his Aunt and her fiancé who were magical and that they managed to get him caught up in his studies. Then Harry handed them a bottle water to sip on while they were travelling.
Blaise spoke up by asking, "What's your soon to be Uncle's name?"
"Lord Anthony Edward Claiborne-Stark. His mother was a Claiborne before she married an American named Howard Stark who worked with the US military during World War II and along with Captain America." Harry said.
Blaise nearly choked on a sip of water after Harry had mentioned the name Claiborne.
Everyone seemed concerned for Blaise that Draco asked, "Blaise, are you okay?"
"Yeah. Harry, the Claibornes are one of the Ancient and Noble families of Magical Italy! They were considered the most wealthy family in Italy and the last Lady Claiborne was named Maria Rose Claiborne." Blaise said still in a bit of shock.
Pansy along with Draco and the other were shocked to learn just exactly who Harry's magical Uncle was then they looked at Harry.
"I am aware of it because you see; it was Uncle Tony's family that helped my Aunt Nix search for him. Then while Uncle Tony and Aunt Nix had managed to find me; they soon learned of the deaths of Uncle Tony's parents." Harry said.
"That must've been hard." Draco said.
"It was and after I came to live with them; we silently held a vigil for them but apparently my Aunt Nix and Uncle Tony were informed of their deaths by a friend of Aunt Nix." Harry said.
"Why do you call your Aunt,Aunt Nix?" Crabb asked curiously.
"Well, Nix is the nickname that Uncle Tony calls my Aunt since her name is Phoenix." Harry said.
"So what is your Aunt's last for now until she marries your Uncle Tony?" Goyle asked.
"Her last name is Pervell." Harry said.
Blaise, Draco, Pansy, Goyle, and Crabb were shocked to hear that.
"The Pervell Family is a more Ancient and Noble Family in the Magical World. It is said that they have connections to the deity known as Death." Draco said.
"I suppose that's why Lord Death, Lady Fate, Lady Magic herself was there that day when my Aunt and her fiancé issued a bloodline feud and backed it?" Harry said.
"WHAT?!" The five said at the same time.
So, Harry explained about what his Aunt Nix and Uncle Tony had found out before they had finally managed to rescued him from his Muggle relatives on his mother's side.
As they were talking, the compartment door opened and a redhead walked in and asked if he could sit with them because every else was full.
"Sure." Harry said.
The redhead looked around and his eyes fell on Draco Malloy and said, "Never mind, this compartment is full of Slytherins."
Pansy was about to say something when Harry spoke up, "How do you know that they will be in Slytherin? I mean we each have characteristics of each Hogwarts House. One characteristic of one of the houses may be stronger than the others but that doesn't necessarily give you the right to automatically assume what house that they may be in. Heck for all I know is that I could be in Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, or even Hufflepuff."
Draco and his friends were actually stunned that the boy who lived was coming to their defence .
"Besides, there's saying that says, Don't judge a book by its cover. My Aunt and Uncle taught me a lot; which if wasn't for them; I would probably be dead and wouldn't be going to Hogwarts." Harry said.
"Just who are you?" The redhead questioned.
"Harry Potter but I am pretty sure that probably everyone on the train knows that by now, probably." Harry said.
The redhead was surprised and said, "We're suppose to be friends! You're not supposed to be around Slytherins!"
Harry looked at the redhead and said, "How can we be friends if I don't know your name?"
The redhead was embarrassed and then said, "I am Ron Weasley."
"Well, Ron, just because I found a compartment and sat down and then Draco along came in asking if I minded if they could join me. I didn't want to seem rude; so I said it was fine. I mean I don't really know what exactly you have against Draco or he has against you; but it's none of my business." Harry said.
Just as Harry was talking to Ron while Draco and his were just watching; the door to the compartment door opened again. Pansy noticed that Harry was somewhat not happy to see the girl with bushy hair. She wondered why he wasn't happy to see her.
"Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville has lost one." Hermione said.
"No, none of us have seen a toad." Blaise said.
Harry blinked for a moment as he remembered the name Neville because his Aunt Nix had told him who he was supposed to go to if something happened to his parents and Neville's parents were one of the guardians on the list that his Aunt Nix had shown him.
Hermione turned to see Harry and said, "Oh, it's you! The one with the Aunt does stupid things."
Harry couldn't believe that this girl, Hermione had just called his Aunt stupid when she had had a very dangerous job that only him and his Uncle Tony knew about; even though, she was now retired but wouldn't gear up again unless she had to.
"Are you insane?!" Blaise said in shock looking at the bushy haired girl.
Ron and the bushy haired girl looked at the dark skinned Italian in confusion.
"Why would I be insane?" Hermione questioned the dark skinned Italian.
Then it was Draco who said, "You're insane because Harry's Aunt is not stupid. In fact, her family bloodline is something that you don't want to mess with because it is said that her family bloodline was friends with Death himself and that is something that is considered cautionary in itself because if a family bloodline is befriended by a deity then they will protect that bloodline even if that bloodline marries into a pure blood bloodline because the deity will also protect them as well."
"Well that explains a lot of what Aunt Nix told me." Harry said quietly enough for Draco, Pansy, Blaise, Crabb, and Goyle heard.
"That's impossible!" Hermione said.
Harry sighed and said, "Ms. Granger, I am considered a half-blood because my mother was a muggle-born and my father was a pure blood."
Both Ron and Hermione were sort of surprised that Harry knew certain things.
Draco and his friends noticed their shocked reactions to Harry knowing something like that. They wondered why they were surprised by it.
Time Skip to the Arrival at Hogwarts *
After they had met two people that they had considered rude and possibly disrespectful towards Harry Potter; Draco and his friends decided that they would secretly watch Harry's back even if they were sorted into Slytherin. So, they disembarked the train and met up with a faint of a man.
The giant of a man ushered them towards the little boats that they were to take across the huge lake and he told them that there were to be four to a boat.
Harry and the others were amazed by the beauty of the castle at night with all the lights on as they crossed the lake to get there. Of course, there were a few incidents were some of the new students fell into the lake and rescued by a giant squid or octopus that lived in it.
They had finally reached the place underneath the castle to disembark from the boats and made their way up the staircase to meet with the Deputy Headmistress, Minerva McGonagall.
The ghosts greeted them as they seemed to be waiting for the Deputy Headmistress. However, it was the Bloody Baron who took notice of Harry and showed him some respect which the other ghosts noticed and did the same. Harry in return responded to in kind.
Everyone looked at him and the ghosts in confusion because it was unusual for ghosts to show respect to someone.
"So, it's true! What they're saying on the train? Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts!" A boy said.
Everyone sort of gasped at hearing that.
Harry just rolled his eyes in annoyance because both his Aunt and Uncle had told him that people will try to get close to him just because he is famous for something. He kind of was glad now that his Aunt and Uncle prepared him for the chaos of being famous for a forced prophecy and how to deal with it.
"Yes, it's true that I have come to Hogwarts. However, I could have made the decision not to come and to go to a different school; if I knew that I was going to be stared at constantly just because I am considered famous for something that was probably my mother's doing and not mine." Harry said simply.
Everyone was surprised by Harry's response.
Just then, McGonagall appeared and led them into the Great Hall for the sorting ceremony.
