AN: I've been to Las Vegas, We flew from Houston, in 2019. We were supposed to go to Washington DC but there was a hurricane blowing its way up the east coast and my mother didn't want me to miss my connection so we went to Vegas instead. We went in September. It got up to 109 degrees Fahrenheit. We walked part way down the Strip from the Venetian Hotel. We crossed the road at Ceasar's Palace and got an Uber the rest of the way because I'm used to it being between 10 and 16 degrees Celsius in September. All the things that Harry and Severus do in Las Vegas are the same as the things my mother and I did.
I love New York Cheesecake… I did some research and it turns out there's no branch of the Cheesecake Factory on Long Island. (Harry and Sev will live on Long Island because that's where Tony was born… there's a plot twist there but that won't be revealed until later. Once I'm finished with this story I'm going to finish A Clean Slate. BTW the Avengers: Civil War already started in this story and how it happened will be explained in detail in Stark for President.)

Chapter 13 A very secret marriage

Severus's point of view

"You're planning to WHAT?" Minerva yelled

"Elope. We're going to Las Vegas tonight, we're getting married at 6pm. Then we'll be going to New York. It's all arranged. Sirius and Remus will be our witnesses, I don't want a big fuss and neither does Harry… we just want to be married."

"Good luck to both of you."

"We'll see you in New York"
"Of course"

4 hours later.

We took the Knight Bus from Hogwarts to Inverness airport. We flew the no-maj way from Inverness to London, we had a 4 hours layover in London before our flight to Amsterdam, then we had a 2 hour layover in Amsterdam to before our flight to Chicago, we had a three hour layover in Orlando before our connection to Orlando and then we were delayed four hours in Orlando before our flight to Phoenix. From Phoenix, we drove to Las Vegas.

We stayed at the New York New York hotel on the Strip.

We went to the Mafia Museum, because Harry loves mob films and the television shows Mob Wives and The Sopranos. We saw a show based on the television show Harry and I both love called Friends and another show we both love called The Golden Girls. We walked down the Strip back towards the hotel. When we arrived there was a purple alien standing at the entrance of our hotel, looking extremely unimpressed. Nat and Clint came and took us in the back way.
"We're getting married in 3 hours!"
"Change of plans, we've rearranged your wedding for the registry office not far from the Tower, we need to get on the QuinJet NOW! Come on"

We boarded the QuinJet, Harry was enraged.

"Trust me Harry, this way is safer."
"I know that you're probably right. I just want to know who blabbed. No one was supposed to know except for us, Remus, Lucius, Draco, Minerva and Tom."

"It was me," said Minerva. "I had no choice, Harry. When Thanos landed in Vegas I knew you and Severus were in very real danger. We rearranged your wedding for 7pm New York time."

45 minutes later, we arrived in New York (The Quinjet can fly Mach 2 if it needs to and it needed to in this case.)

The MACUSA aurors showed up and battled Thanos and his goon squad, they blew up his version of the Quinjet and effectively stalled him.

Harry's point of view

Tony and Pepper grabbed me, Maria and Bruce grabbed Severus, and my parents grabbed Remus and Sirius. The four of us were wrestled into tuxedos, shirts and bowties. We were frogmarched to a waiting Hummer limo, and driven at high speed to the registry office where we met the rest of our wedding party. Hermione was looking extremely sullen.

"I don't want to be here in this state" she growled, annoyed, pointing at the growing bump in her abdomen.

"Here" said Pepper, covering Hermione with a heavy blanket.

"Better?"
"Better"

45 minutes later Severus and I were married.

"We couldn't think what to get for you two as a wedding gift… and then Constance suggested a new house… complete with potions lab. Draco designed the entire thing."

We had dinner at a very classy restaurant and then we went to the Cheesecake Factory on Long Island. Draco took us on a tour of our new home.

"There's a sunken hidden room downstairs, which is disguised in a similar way to The Batcave… that was Lucius's idea" said Tony. "It's similar to an air raid shelter."

Thanos finally made it to New York.
"Everyone down to the shelter, quickly, there's nothing we can do to stop Thanos."

"Do you think the people working for Dumbledore were working for him?"
"Almost certainly."

We went downstairs into the shelter. Bruce turned green and carried Hermione down to the shelter… she had refused to come before that.

We put the television on.
CNN was reporting that Dr Strange had given Thanos the Time Stone. Rogers, Barnes, Nat, Clint, Shuri and Spider-man showed up to stop Thanos.

"Iron Man is done"
"So is War Machine"
"So is Rescue"
"So is Hulk"

"So is Batman"

"OK… may I ask why?" I asked
"It's a very very very long story" said Tony

"Well then can I ask why your own son is siding with the rogues?"
"He and I had a fight. He broke my nose. He was very angry with me. Rogers offered him something I refused to… training, so he took Rogers' side."

"And you're ok with your twelve year old son… running around with a war criminal?"
"He's fifteen, he's a smart kid. He'll come home when he's ready…"
Tony, and the others told us the story of how the Avengers: Civil War happened…
