Chapter 10 Meet the family
Harry's point of view
I received a call from my father's brother and his girlfriend.
Severus was sitting next to me,
"Harry? Hey We are your Uncle Tony and Aunt Virginia, don't ever call her that — not long after we met on the train to Hogwarts, I gave her the nickname Pepper, because she pepper-sprayed a bully. Is your sister around? I'd like to talk to her too."
"As my lawyer's letter probably stated Mr Stark, my sister is with child and is currently on bedrest." I said rather coldly
"I see. Yes, your lawyer's letter did mention that. We'll make arrangements to visit soon." Tony explained
"Will you bring our parents?"
"We can try, they're often abroad for their work."
"I see"
"If you need anything, you can always come to us."
Hermione's point of view
I was frustrated.
Harry and Professor Snape came to see me
"I had a visit from your godparents today Hermione"
"Really?"
"Yes, they said they will visit again and they'll try to bring our parents"
TIME JUMP Christmas that year
We were all at Malfoy Manor, for Christmas.
Tony and Pepper had come all the way from New York (without our parents unfortunately — they were still on SHIELD business in Wakanda)
To spend Christmas with us.
"We are going to Hogwarts tomorrow morning to speak to headmaster Riddle, about inviting you to New York for the Easter holidays"
"I think he'll say yes"
"I hope he does."
"Hermione when are you due?"
"The end of April"
"OK"
"I'm giving the child up for adoption"
"I could ask my godparents if they can take your little one if you like?"
"That could be an option"
Severus's point of view
Before Tony and Pepper went to Hogwarts, I gave them a letter to send to Nat and Clint.
"Please tell them to contact me at their earliest convenience. I have to ask an important question."
"OK"
"I've already asked Sirius and Remus, as they are Harry's guardians in loco parentis."
"I see"
"I also wanted to be sure that I ask his actual parents, just because it's respectful"
"I get it. I asked Pepper's godparents before I did the deed… I know exactly what you're talking about"
"We'll be in touch about April"
"See you via floo-call in a couple of weeks"
"OK"
"Thanks for everything"
"It's our pleasure"
Tony's point of view
Pepper and I went to Hogwarts first and then to Wakanda.
When we arrived in Wakanda, Nat greeted us.
"We've met your children, Hermione is almost 6 months pregnant, she was attacked at school."
"Wow, poor kid"
"I've asked her if she wants me to have Aunt Maria and Uncle Obie raise the child and she agreed, also Harry's soulmate asked me to give you this"
I handed Nat the letter. Clint came down to meet us.
"This is from Harry's soulmate." Nat explained.
"We need to meet our twins Nat"
"Tony and Pepper have arranged for them to come to New York in April, just before Hermione's due date."
"One of our kids is knocked up?"
"Yes she was attacked"
"What are the school doing about it?"
"Well professor Riddle and Professor McGonagall have ensured that Hermione's pregnancy related needs are taken care of, she can't do potions but Professor Snape has a room in his quarters at Hogwarts where he can use no-maj technology and so does Mr Malfoy so Hermione watches the potions lessons from that room and writes her essays based on what she viewed."
"That's an excellent idea."
"Professor Riddle confessed to us that he knows it's just a matter of time before they'll have to move out of Hogwarts. Dumbledore will find a way to escape from prison and he'll want his school back."
"They should come to New York… I'm thinking of turning the big house into a school"
"Yeah I have to tell you something about that"
"We need to answer Harry's soulmate first Nat"
"OK"
AN there are 3 chapters to go after this one and I've already written the Epilogue, that's what the author note at the end of the story refers to.
