Spiderman meets Voldemort
Peter Parker embarked on the greatest battle of his life as he fled from the scene of the greatest moment in his sophomore year, the homecoming dance. It was tough leaving Liz, all dolled up, standing there speechless as the music blared through the flashing lights. But her father is an evil man, who calls himself, the vulture. Peter couldn’t possibly watch his plan unfold as the vulture attempts to rob the avengers' cargo plane. He is still trying to make it up to Tony Stark after all. So, he changed into his sweat suit and loaded his web shooters. What else does Peter have to lose?
The battle was off to an unpromising start. Peter soon found himself beneath a large pile of rubble, struggling to keep going. He yelped for anyone, but no one was around, or at least no one with the power to help. Peter realized he was the only one who could save himself. He slowly burrowed his way out of pile when there was a large flash, and everything went black.
As Peter’s eyes slowly started to flutter open, he attempted to burrow out of the pile again to realize it was gone. The pure shock of the situation caused Peter to collapse back onto the floor to find it wasn’t concrete but tile. He went to take off his sweat suit, but it wasn’t his sweat suit anymore. He was now covered in head to toe blue and red spandex. How did he get his other suit back from Mr. Stark so quickly? Suddenly a deep snake-like voice rattled in Peter’s ear, “What happened to Harry Potter!”
Peter screamed and quickly rose to his feet, “I-I don’t, I don’t know man? I don’t even know who Harry Potter is” The ominous voice returned and brought chills to Peter’s spine, “Agh! You better watch your back boy” Peter’s spider sense warned him, and he immediately turned around and shot a web at the terrifying sight. A tall, pale, nose less man with no hair and sunken, piercing eyes stood mere feet in front of Peter. The web very nearly missed the man, as he disappeared in a cloud of black smoky-dust and hit the large stone statue behind him. The web attached to the statue and before he could figure out what just happened, Peter flew to where the web had hit and stuck himself to the statue, so he wouldn’t slip off.
Peter stayed there for a moment to take a deep breath and compose himself. As he attempted to stop shaking, he heard multiple people murmur behind him, “Where’s Harry?”
“What happened to Harry?”
“What on earth is that flying red and blue thing?”
“It’s like if a man was a spider. I hate spiders! Why does it always have to be spiders?”
“Really Ronald, you hate spiders I had no idea”
“Shut up Hermione” Peter slowly turned his shoulder and saw an entire crowd of people staring at him.
A seemingly very old man with long silver hair and twinkly eyes framed by half-moon glasses inched toward Peter. This was somehow threatening enough to cause Peter to take of his mask and reveal his identity to the entire room, “No, no don’t worry guys. I’m normal kid, I’m just a teenager from Queens” A bushy-haired girl looked towards a red-headed boy, “Oh, he’s cute” The boy rolled his eyes, “This gets worse and worse every minute” Peter jumped down from the statue back onto the tile floor. “S-Sorry about the webs they’ll dissolve in a few hours”
The old man spoke softly, “Calm down, my boy we won’t harm you. What is your name?”
“Peter Parker”
“Nice to meet you, Peter. Do you know where Harry Potter went?”
“Why are you all English?”
“Peter”
“Sorry sir, n-nice to meet you too. And sorry b-but I don’t know who Harry Potter is”
“That’s okay Peter. Do you know how you got here?”
“Uh, I was trapped underneath a huge pile of rubble while I was fighting the vulture because he was trying to steal from the avengers' cargo plane to make alien weapons to sell to these like really bad guys and-"
“Peter”
“Right, sorry… then suddenly I blacked out and I was just here and that guy missing a nose was like in my head” The crowd looked distraught, but the old man seemed completely unbothered. “My name is Professor Albus Dumbledore and you're in the ministry of magic”
“Huh?” Suddenly more people entered from behind, “So, Albus Dumbledore! What is the meaning of this? What happened to my Ministry and why are these children here at this hour?”
“Calm yourself Fudge, everything can be resolved over a harmless chat. If you’d follow me, it’s best we don’t expose the children” The man who had just entered, relentlessly, followed Dumbledore to a different area of the building leaving the rest in a very awkward position.
The others who had recently appeared in the room exited in an orderly fashion, but not before a few had snapped pictures of Peter and, in a flash from the camera, were gone as well. A group of beat up-looking teenagers approached Peter, “Hello, I’m Hermione Granger and this is Ronald Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood oh, and Ginny Weasley as well” Hermione held her hand out to Peter and he shook it, “Nice to meet you, I’m Peter Parker”
“Nice to meet you too” Ginny spoke up, “We’re Dumbledore’s army”
“Okay, sorry I don’t really know what that means”
“It means that whatever you’ve done to Harry, we’ll get him back”
“Who’s Harry?!”
“You really expect us to believe you don’t know who Harry Potter is”
“He’s probably a muggle”
“What’s a muggle?”
“Yeah, definitely a muggle”
“Then how can he shoot spider webs from his wrist, and stick to the statue”
“Yeah, good point. What are you?” Peter was taken aback, “I’m, well I’m Spiderman” Dumbledore’s army looked very confused, as did Peter. “Uh, guys I have a few questions as well if you don’t mind” Ron answered, “No, you answer our questions first bug boy!”
“Bug boy?” Hermione interrupted, “How old are you?”
“Fifteen, but my sixteenth birthday’s coming up so I’m hoping Mr. Stark lets me join the avengers as a present”
“Who’s Mr. Stark?”
“And what’s the avengers?” Peter looked even more confused, “Uh, Tony Stark, Iron man, Caption America, Thor, earth’s mightiest heroes. Anything sound familiar?” Hermione answered, “No, not at all but we’re all fifteen as well, I mean apart from Ginny; she’s a bit younger”
“What? everyone knows who the avengers are”
“Yeah, and everyone knows who Harry Potter is”
“I don’t!”
“We know!” Ron yelled rather aggressively. Luna’s soft, high-pitched voice intervened, “Perhaps he’s from a different universe where all wizards have insect powers”
“Luna, that’s crazy” Ron responded but Peter agreed, “No, she might be right. I mean, the multiverse in only theoretical but everyone in my universe knows who the avengers are. And consequently, everyone in your universe knows who Harry Potter is, we might be from different universes which means if I’m here then, Harry must be there!” Neville spoke for the first time, “What are you saying?”
“Harry Potter is in my universe!”
“How could he possibly be. A more reasonable explanation is that the avengers are a muggle thing so we wouldn’t know about it and Harry Potter is a wizard thing, so Peter doesn’t know about it”
Hermione argued with Neville, “But I’m muggle born, I go back to their world every Summer and I’ve still never heard of the avengers”
“It still makes more sense than a multiverse
“Well, it’s my hypothesis. So scientific method says I have to test it. Right Hermione?” She blushed, “Right Peter” Ron looked at her, “Hermione, this is mad! You're going to believe him just cause he’s cute! How do you even know what scientific method means?”
“Because I went muggle school for almost six years before I was accepted at Hogwarts and his theory makes sense”
“Yeah, to Luny Lovegood”
“Come on Ron, that’s rude!”
“We all call her that and we still don’t know what Spiderman is because he isn’t a muggle and he’s no wizard!”
“I’m an avenger! Almost, I’m a human who was bitten by a radioactive spider so now I’m Spiderman okay man, that’s what I am, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to yell I’m just very passionate” Luna whispered to Hermione, “He is cute”
“Isn’t he” Ginny looked to Peter, “So how do we get Harry back?”
