Harry had woken up early the next morning and gotten some breakfast foods from the nearby magical alley so he could thank Steve and Bucky properly. Harry had used some of the 5,000 galleons in the bottomless pouch in his pocket that he had gotten from his mother for owl orders and Hogsmead. He started off with 4,000 galleons, but the amount of people buying coffee and other stuff off of him bumped it up a lot. He had gotten 5,000 but he had sent 4 of it to his mother to buy more stuff for him.
He had also gotten himself some more clothes as he didn't know how long he would be stuck in the past as Draco was very angry with him. He had also gotten a duffle bag for said clothes and magically tided the bag to him so he could keep everything he bought with him. And on top of the bag and clothes, Harry bought books and other stuff to entertain him while he was there as he basically had nothing on him at the time. The great depression didn't really hit the wizarding world like it had the muggle world as the goblins didn't go crazy like the muggles.
That was why the American branch of Gringotts was so respected after the first world war, they didn't create an economic crisis and let the magical humans starve. And because of this, many muggle borns went back into the wizard world just to get jobs just so they could feed their non magic families. In this situation, one or more of the muggles would work in the muggle world to pay for the housing and the muggle born works in the magical world to get food. A few of the places muggle borns worked also allowed one of their muggle family members to work with them during this time as the owners were sympathetic to the situation.
"What's all of this?" Bucky asked when he and Steve walked into the kitchen.
They hadn't smelled all these smells in forever and almost forgot what joy smelled like.
"This a thank you for letting me stay here last night." Harry said
"How did you pay for all of this?" Steve asked in awe knowing that many of these foods were way too expensive for him and Bucky to get themselves.
"That's what I wanted to talk to you both about. But why don't we eat breakfast first before it gets cold and inedible?" Harry said
Harry knew that he could trust them, so he decided that he would tell them that he was from the future and show them the proof of it. Bucky and Steve both sat down at the table and ate before Harry told them anything about why he got everything.
"Now can you tell us?" Bucky asked
"I'm not from this year or century." Harry said
"What do you mean?" Steve asked
"I was born in the year 1996. And I come from the year 2011." Harry said
"Then prove it." Bucky demanded
Harry then pulled out his cellphone and put it onto the table in front of Bucky and Steve who started to examine it. In 2008, after meeting Tony Stark when he found out about Natasha's real name, Harry had gotten himself a Magic resistant Stark phone. SHIELD had told Tony about how magic and electronics don't mix well and he decided to fix it so Harry could call his mom anytime he wanted. And by the time Harry go to his third year of Hogwarts, all the muggle born students gotten themselves a magic resistant Stark Phone.
"What's this?" Bucky asked holding up the phone
"Its called a cellphone. It's how people in my time communicate with each other." Harry said
"Then what about the switch board operators?" Steve asked
"There are no more switch board operators. In businesses there are receptionists at the entrance, but they don't really field calls that much as most people have the numbers for the people they are calling." Harry said
"Then why do they get calls then?" Bucky asked
"Mostly to ask questions about the business or which floor someone is on." Harry said
"Is there anymore proof?" Steve asked
Harry then decided to pull out his wallet and then his debit card and two credit cards and showed them to Steve and Bucky. In the American wizarding community, they decided to embrace the muggle payment plans, especially when Debit cards were invented. Natasha got Harry a debit card connected to the Gringotts account when he turned ten and his two Credit Cards when he turned 14. Natasha knew that her son wouldn't over spend on useless junk, he knew how to spend money in the correct manner.
"This is how people use their money in the future. They still use actual cash and checks. But people liked using cards as they were faster, especially when they put the cards on their phones." Harry said holding up the cards.
Bucky and Steve looked to each other and nodded in an unspoken understanding like they could read each other's mind.
"Okay we believe you now." Save said
Harry put everything back where they go and then back into his pockets where he had gotten them in the first place.
"How did you pay for the food?" Bucky asked
"So here's the thing. I come from a place where magic is real." Harry said
"No it's not." Bucky said
Steve said nothing as he knew things are not always what they seem to the eye, the classic don't judge a book by its cover trope.
"I'm telling you the truth. And I can prove it just like when I told you that I was from the future." Harry said as he pulled out his wand from the wand holder that was fixed on his arm.
Harry did a few spells to prove that magic was real as there was no other way and going into the alley with muggles would attract the aurors.
"Believe me now?" Harry asked
Bucky nodded as he couldn't deny what he had just seen from the man in front of him.
"Now. I had gone into the wizard world to get the food as I had the money to do so." Harry said
Bucky and Steve finally understood Harry as he wanted himself and everyone in the room to be comfortable and not starve.
Over the next few weeks since Harry had been in the past, the three had gotten closer with each other than when they started off. Bucky had been drafted in to world war two and had just finished with boot camp before having two weeks before he had to go to Europe. While Bucky was gone, Harry and Steve had gotten together in a romantic and physical way as Steve feared that Bucky wouldn't come back. When Bucky had come back after boot camp, he had joined in as he always liked the idea of adding a third but didn't want to push Steve into something he didn't want.
And unknown to Harry, he had just magically tied himself to Steve when he had jumped into bed with the asthmatic. And on the last night that Bucky was on his little break, he taken Harry and Steve out for dinner and then to the Stark expo to just have fun before he had to go. While there, Steve tried to enter the war effort again, but was turned down for like the 10th time that month, Harry had to hold back laughter. While Steve was complaining to Harry and Bucky, a scientist had over heard Steve talking to his friends about not getting in. He soon came up to the trio and introduced himself.
"Hello, sorry about interrupting, but I've just overheard what you were talking about. I'm Dr. Abraham Erskine, and I'm a scientist with the US Army. And there is a spot open for you be an experiment for a group of super soldiers. If you agree, I can get you that spot and into the Army." Dr. Erskine said
Steve was shocked to hear this as by now he had just given up all hope that he would be in the Army like his lover was right now.
"I accept the offer." Steve said
"Then be at this address at seven AM tomorrow morning." Dr. Erskine said as he handed Steve a slip of paper before walking off.
Steve looked to the slip of paper and saw that it was an address of a recruitment office that meant you passed the physical part. When the trio go home that night, Harry had this gut feeling that he would be leaving this year for another pretty soon. When Bucky and Steve fell asleep that night, Harry couldn't sleep, his mind was racing with things about his impending doom. After about two hours of being alone, Harry stood up to sleep on the couch, but something happened that Harry that he was somewhat expecting.
Harry was sucked into another time vortex that transported him somewhere.
1944
Harry fell on the ground with a thud and he groaned in pain as he laid on the ground as he tried to see where he was. Harry saw that he was in a forest near a camp that had military tents in it with a big US on each of the sides of the roofs. Harry stood to he feet and saw something that didn't really shock him, blonde hair that sat on a man in a red, white and blue outfit. Somehow Harry locked eyes with the man who walked to him and as the man got closer, Harry realized that it was Steve.
"Harry!" Steve said with a smile and a hint of excitement.
"Steve!" Harry said
The two embrace like old lovers who had been separated for a really long time and it was true to a point.
"Where have you been?" Steve asked
"I got sucked into the time spell and it dropped me off here." Harry replied
"That explains it." Steve said with a laugh
"So where are we anyways?" Harry asked
"We're in northern Germany." Steve said
Steve then took Harry into the camp to get situated and he had introduced the younger man to everyone there. Peggy seemed very suspicious about the new comer who had waked up with Steve and asked the magicals to check him out. Harry then explained everything he could to the magicals who had pulled him into a tent to ask some questions. After a quick check over, they found out that Harry was telling the truth about being hit with the time travel spell.
While Harry was talking to the magicals in the camp, Peggy talked to Steve and Bucky about the new comer. They didn't give Peggy all of the information about Harry as they tried to give Harry his privacy and have a chance to give Peggy the info himself. When Harry was reunited with Steve and Bucky, Peggy had given them their space as from what she got, the trio was very close. After about an hour, Peggy walked back in to have a talk with Harry.
"So Harry. I would like have a talk about yourself." Peggy said
"Didn't Steve and Bucky give you any info about me?" Harry asked
"They wanted to keep your privacy up. So I thought that I could get more info about you out of you." Peggy said
"What did they say about me. I don't want to overlap anything that had already said about me." Harry said
"They said that you were an English magical and from the future. Got anything else for me?" Peggy asked
"I was born in Godric's Hallow, England where I have lived for 18 months before moving to Saint Petersburg, Russia for the next five and a half years then I moved to New York City, New York, USA where I have lived ever since. Though I did go to Hogwarts when I turned 11." Harry said
"So you know Russian?" Peggy asked
"I know Russian, English, German, French, Italian, Latin and Arabic." Harry said
Despite having ADHD, Harry has an eidetic and photographic memory and was able to learn and use the languages better than anyone. Harry talks with Fleur Delacour over a two way mirror in French all the time, he talked with his mother in Russian everyday. He talks to Blaise Zabini in Italian while in class all the time, there is a German transfer student in Gryffindor that Harry helps out. And Harry's Pre-Ancient Studies teacher is a native Arabic speaker, so he talks to her in her native tongue whenever he is in class.
Harry is only talking Pre-Ancient Studies this year so he could be a qualified curse breaker for SHIELD at Fury's request. Harry didn't need the classes to become an auror as he had hands on training growing up around the right people.
"Which Borough of New York do you live in?" Peggy asked
"Manhattan." Harry said without thinking
Harry had to answer the Borough question so many times throughout the years that he could now answer it in his sleep.
"Anything else?" Peggy asked
"I was born in the year 1996. And I come from the year 2011." Harry said remembering that he had said just that to Steve and Bucky that first morning after breakfast.
Peggy did the math then looked to Steve and Bucky before squabbling something down on her piece of paper. She didn't say anything about Harry's age as she was told the age of consent in the wizarding world was 15 years old.
"Are you allergic to anything?" Peggy asked
"Just like my father, I'm allergic to Cranberries and the magical equivalent Canzybarries." Harry said
Peggy stopped when she had heard what Harry had said his allergies were and knew only one other person like that. And that was Charlus Fleamont Potter who had just left that morning to go after Gellert Grindelwald and his cronies. But first, with the help some of the others, he had to get a transfiguration teacher by the name of Albus Dumbledore so he could fight him and take him down. From what she was told about Dumbledore, Peggy knew that the teacher would do everything in his power not to fight Gellert.
Harry had heard these stories as well and figured that was one reason why he manipulated so many others into fighting Voldemort.
"Full Name." Peggy said
"Hadrian James Aleksandr Potter-Romanoff, but I go by Harry. Half my name is Russian and the other half is English." Harry said with a slight Russian accent.
When the Daily Prophet shot out the story that Harry was the Boy Who Lived, they only left out Harry's second last name which Harry was happy about. He could legally use only one of his last names in any situation so in school he was Harry Potter and out of school he was Harry Romanoff. Harry's name also stopped Peggy in her tracks as she figured out the connection between Charlus and Harry that was not the shared allergies.
"How do you spell Aleksandr?" Peggy asked
"A-L-E-k-S-A-N-D-R." Harry said
"What about Romanoff?" Peggy asked
"R-O-M-A-N-O-F-F." Harry said
Natasha had drilled the correct spelling of Harry's names into his head since he could read and spell.
