New Home, New Problems
"Harry, you can't be serious!" Hermione shouted.
"Yeah, mate! What are you thinking!" Ron joined the shouting. Harry sighed, he knew this would happen.
"I have to protect Teddy. I can't raise him with the press and ministry breathing down our bloody necks!" Harry exclaimed.
"Harry I'm sure there are better ways-"
Harry cut Hermione off," Hermione I've looked through all of them. Dealing with it, wards, threatening them, bloody hell I even considered changing our identities!" Hermione bit her lip, thinking. Ron sighed and put a hand on his girlfriend's shoulder.
"You know it's the safest way for them, 'Mione." Hermione sighed, finally giving in.
"Oh, alright but you better owl every day!" Harry smiled and pulled his friends into a hug.
"I'm going to miss you guys," Harry breathed out, fighting tears.
When they pulled away Ron said, "Cheer up mate. I heard New York has great food!"
"Is food the only thing on your mind, Ronald?" Hermione scoffed.
"Well, there is one other thing I think about." Ron gave her a look. Hermione flushed red and punched his shoulder. Ron laughed and Harry pulled a face. He did not want to think about his best friends activities.
"Ronald!"
—-------------------------------------------------
Harry sighed. They were finally settled into their house. Harry had found some old documents when going through Sirius's stuff. The Black family apparently owns estates all around the world. The marble mansion on the edge of New York seemed like a good place to settle, it was better than any dusty apartment in the middle of the city he would find.
Harry walked over to Teddy's crib. Teddy was sleeping peacefully on his blue blanket. The move had tired him out and he had been sleeping for the past hour. Harry was certain Teddy had received the werewolf genes from Remus. Teddy had been showing signs recently and Harry could not let the ministry take him away. The British Ministry of Magic had a strict policy dealing with wizard and werewolf children. They would likely take Teddy away and place him with a pack far and Harry would never see him again.
Unaware of his godfather's worries, Teddy woke and made grabby hands at Harry. Harry smiled and quickly picked Teddy up before he started crying. He rocked the baby and hummed a soft melody as he made Teddy his formula. Once Teddy was satisfied he curled into Harry's chest. Harry moved Teddy to his hip and went to go make tea.
Harry made his way to a window, cup of tea in hand and Teddy on his hip. Sunlight streamed through holes in the clouds. Harry smiled.
"Would you like to look at the city, Little bit?" Harry murmured softly. Harry had affectionately given his godson the nickname little bit when he was born and now the baby won't respond to much else. Teddy laughed and made grabby hands at the window. Harry chuckled and finished the last of his tea.
"Alright Teddy let's go for a walk."
Five minutes later Harry had Teddy in a stroller and they were walking down the streets of New York.
Teddy was giggling and taking everything in. Harry had a broad smile on his face as he watched his godson. After all the museums, monuments and shops, Harry decided to walk through a park. Teddy loved the flowers, he would always reach out and touch the flowers as they went by.
It was getting dark when Harry heard fighting Infront of them. He hid Teddy, who was still in his stroller, behind a large flower bush nearby and went to investigate. Harry was granted with the sight of the two men arguing over what looked like another man in chains. One of the arguing men wore strange armor and held a very large hammer. The other man was fully covered in a red and gold metal suit that was floating in the air. The Man in chains intrigued Harry the most. He wore strange green robes and his blue eyes were staring at the man with a hammer. Harry's magic was calling to the man in green. Harry allowed his magic to wander and reach out to the man. The man's head whipped around to face Harry and he smiled. Not a kind smile, no this was a cruel twisted smile that ran shivers down Harry's spine. Harry's wand slipped into his hand unconsciously. Green magic started to surround the man and shot forward towards Harry. He quickly put up a sheild. The two arguing men finally looked over to Harry.
"What the hell," the man in a metal suit said. The man in green sent more tendrils of Magic in the direction of Teddy. Harry sprinted to his godson and picked him up right before the magic could attack him. The magic destroyed the stroller. Harry was thrown from the impact. He rolled into cover with Teddy still in his arms. He quickly checked over Teddy, making sure he wasn't injured. Harry sighed, thank Merlin Teddy wasn't hurt. Harry stayed hidden where he was until he heard something or someone flying overhead. He looked up and the flying metal man was above him. Harry put up an invisible shield around him and Teddy.
"What the hell was that kid?!" The man exclaimed.
"Is the other man under control?" Harry asked, ignoring the man's question.
"Wha- yeah Loki is knocked out. But that doesn't matter. What the fuck was-" the man didn't get to finish his sentence before Harry apparated away.
—-------------------------------------------------
Harry knew he shouldn't of apparated away in front of that muggle but he was panicking and needed to get Teddy to safety.
Harry calmed Teddy down and put him to bed as soon as they got home. He reheated the leftover tea from earlier and sat down in front of a window to calm his nerves.
Harry sighed, he knew he was going to get a letter from the ministry for the incident. He could feel a headache coming on from the thought of the paperwork.
Harry finally settled down and went to bed. He was later woken by the sound of the wards going off. Harry ran to Teddy's room to see if he was safe. The doorbell sounded throughout the house. Once he made sure Teddy was alright Harry made his way to the front door.
In the early morning light Harry saw a man in red, white, and blue spandex, a redhead with several guns, and a one-eyed pirate.
What the fuck?!
—-------------------------------------------------
Tony Stark P.O.V
After the fight
Tony couldn't explain how a kid disappeared right before his eyes. He couldn't explain what surrounded the kid before Loki attacked him. What he could do was track the kid down. And that's what he did. With the help of Jarvis he was able to find one Harry Potter.
"Is that the kid?" Fury asked from the doorway. Tony jumped.
"We need to get you a bell," Tony replied. Fury rolled his eyes.
"Is that the kid or not Stark?" Fury demanded. Tony handed him the file.
"Harry-"
"-Potter" Fury interrupted, his eyes wide.
"You know him?" Tony asked, annoyed that he was interrupted. Fury nodded.
"Gather the Avengers we need this guy," Fury barked and stormed out of the lab.
Thirty minutes later, the Avengers were briefed on the magical world.
"Harry Potter is a wizard kid, so what?" Tony rolled his eyes. Like any kid was so important, he thought.
"Harry Potter is an extremely powerful wizard. He took down one of the most powerful dark wizards of this century," Fury said."He'll be a great asset."
"We have Loki. Why would we need a kid?" Tony remarked.
"Mr.Stark might I remind you there are worse things than Loki and the Avengers will be around to protect Earth. There's no doubt in my mind that we will need Harry Potter," Fury snapped. "Now I want Rodgers and Romanoff suited up and ready to go in ten, you're coming with me."
—-------------------------------------------------
Harry P.O.V
Harry opened the door, his wand concealed behind it.
"Mr.Potter?" The pirate asked.
"Yes?" Harry tentatively replied.
"We would like to talk to you. If you would please let us inside." The man in red, white and blue said.
Harry stared at the three for a moment before allowing them inside. He assumed they were with the ministry and wanted to ask about the incident the other day. Although, he kept his wand in hand in case he was wrong.
Harry led them to the study and with a swipe of his hand tea was poured for the three strangers. The spandex man stared slack jaw at the magic. While the redhead kept herself more composed but her surprise was still obvious at the way her eyes widened. At their reactions, Harry concluded that they weren't with the ministry and he was put more on edge.
"I'm special agent Nick Fury. This is special agent Romanoff and Steve Rodgers or Captain America," Nick Fury said, pointing to each of his companions. Harry raised an eyebrow. "We are agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and I would like to recruit you. You would live at the compound and go on missions. You would keep Earth safe." Harry shook his head.
"No. I've had enough fighting for another lifetime. I'm not fighting for muggles I don't even know," Harry responded, glaring at Fury. He was not going to be dragged into some random muggle's problems.
"We could provide protection for you and your godson, kid," Spangles offered.
"I can do that just fine on my own, Spangles," Harry snapped.
"We are not saying you can't Mr.Potter. We're just saying we could help," the redhead added.
"I'm not helping you. I cannot leave Teddy alone. I just can't," Harry sighed. He just wanted to go back to sleep.
"What if the kid came and lived with you in the compound? You would get to keep him safe and you would help us. You know you can't lie low forever. The fighter in you will get restless," Fury suggested. Harry tilted his head, while Fury was correct he is in no way putting Teddy in that kind of danger.
“No, you have your own team already. You don’t need me,” Harry said simply, getting fed up with this nonsense.
“Many less would die or be in danger if you helped!” He persisted, Fury shifted in his chair getting more nervous.
“No,” Harry said firmly, with a swipe of his hand Fury and his people are sweeper out of their chairs,”Now I’ve tolerated you long enough, it’s late I’m not going to change my mind and you’ve overstayed your welcome.”
“Wait Mr.Potter one more thing! Loki is a god an immortal that we can not possibly stop without horrible bloodshed and sacrifices that will cost us more in the long run!” Fury shouted as magic shoved him and the others out the door, which was promptly slammed in their face.
Harry slumped forward in his chair. Was this the right decision? Yes he must believe it was for Teddy’s sake. Sighing Harry got up and went to head up stairs when he saw that Fury left behind a folder. Looking through the pages on this “god” Harry raised an eyebrow. He’s just a rogue wizard trying to take control of the world! Maybe not from our planet but he’s still just a…rogue… wizard…with a…mind control staff…trying to take over the world…being fought by…muggles. Ah fuck!
Harry ran out the door to see a car speeding away. Harry is way too tired to deal with this. He wrapped his magic around the car but not quite touching it, hoping not to explode it, and pulled. The car jerked backward and slammed to a stop right in front on Harry. Fury stepped out looking a little queasy.
“Give me the damn papers,” Harry shouted at Fury.
