Strange Potter

"He...is...adorable!!" 

"He is awesome, not adorable!"

Morgan didn't relent as Motto had his big eyes looking at her. "You are adorable. He doesn't know anything."

The magical animal smiled up at her. 

"See he thinks he's precious too!" 

"Motto is a big softy." Regulus held out his arm and the small creature jumped up and climbed to his shoulder. "Not that there's anything wrong with that, buddy."

"Harry doing alright back at the school?" She asked.

"Yeah. He made friends with a strange girl."

"Dr. Strange has a daughter?!"

"No. Well not that I know off." Regulus scratched his head. "Besides I don't think Doc is someone who would have kids."

"Why not? Wong would be a great uncle/mom." Morgan laughed.

"I'm not telling him that." Regulus laughed. He then had an idea. "Is Tony in the lab?"

"Yeah. Why?"

His smile told her what he was thinking.

It was time to prank.

Tony tinkering with a suit was a usual sight. As he got older and since Morgan was born he had stepped back as Ironman. 

Still, it was always a good idea to plan ahead so more suits and more designs.

Despite the time of peace that had surprised him it was always in the back of his mind that something could still happen. Out there in space were definitely threats. He would be ready for whatever came for his world. 

The images of Morgan and Pepper made him grin slightly. His world.

He reached for a tool but it wasn't where he left it. When he turned he found it floating in the air next to him.

Not thinking he grabbed at it but it moved.

Tony finally saw that it was floating in mid-air and looked around. "Alright, Reg you are getting pretty good with playing with your stick. You can stop now."

He reached for the tool again but this time it jumped up the table. As he glared at it he found himself seeing a hairy 'monkey' appear holding it out to him.

"Wow?!" Tony backed up from the animal.

It went invisible again and jumped all around his shop.

"You little!" Tony pulled on his glasses. "F.R.I.D.A.Y.  Give me heat signature."

The reading was uploaded to find the small animal on the table.

He looked at the signature and his glove materialized on his hand. "Come on Falkor. Give me the tool."

The invisible creature ducked into one of Tony's suits holding out the tool from the empty helmet area.

"Hey get out of there!!"

It was a too funny sight because Tony heard laughing. Two small children laughing.

"Morgan. Regulus." He found them behind him. "What is that?"

Reg was still laughing when he came over to the suit. "Alright Motto. Come on out. He won't hurt you."

The Demiguise popped his head out before climbing up Regulus's arm and to his spot on the boy's shoulder.

"Yeah, that is just what you need. A pet that can go invisible."

"I want one," Morgan said.

"No."

"Good luck finding one," Regulus said. "Non-magicals can't even see them unless they want to be seen and Magicals have to get lucky."

"Can we get a puppy that you can make invisible too?" Morgan asked next. "Oh, a collar that will make him cloaked!"

"That's probably not going to happen."

Morgan huffed but didn't press. 

"Boss. Mrs. Boss will be ready in six minutes." F.R.I.D.A.Y spoke.

Tony looked at his watch realizing he lost track of time. "Shit."

"Mom word!"

"I know!" He jumped up and ran out of the room. Then came back a few seconds later. He motioned them to go out ahead of him before locking the door.

"I can't believe you want to go to this." Sirius adjusted his tie.

"Wanda convinced me."

"Yeah, and that made Nat force me."

"Hey if I have to suffer you do too."

"Suffer? You're going to be the belle of the ball." Sirius laughed. "Come on the first werewolf to be cured. Everyone there will be eager to shake your former paw."

"Always one for words Padfoot."

"Everyone has their talents."

"Let me know when you find yours."

"Oh, fangs out tonight."

"How's that business going with Lockhart?" Remus changed the subject. He was still irritated that a man he thought was a hero was a pile of dragon dung.

"Slow, but I am getting some leads. After he removed their memories they kind of moved around a lot. My guess is he made them move away from their spots to help avoid anyone placing them."

"If only he put as much effort into actually doing the acts."

"Frauds usually put more effort into faking things than doing them," Natasha spoke as she and Wanda came down the stairs with Pepper.

Sirius would probably never get over seeing Natasha like this. Every time it took his breath away.

The dress was black and low cut. Something that would never be seen in the wizarding world. That was the best part.

Remus was in the same way. Wanda had chosen a red one with long sleeves but open in the front. He had to remember to breathe.

Tony came in as the girls came down. He was certain she chose that dress just to tease him. That same blue dress.

"You boys ready?" 

They all nodded.

"Something wrong?" Natasha grinned.

"Not a thing." Sirius admired her. "Just thinking about how I am the luckiest wizard on the planet."

"Have to argue with that one," Remus spoke.

Wanda grinned back. 

"Is Happy going to be here soon?" Pepper asked.

"No Happy today. I called the babysitter."

The elevator dinged and out stepped the young man. "Hey. Mr.Stark."

"Kid it has been almost a decade." Tony sighed.

"Right...Tony."

"You might want to keep on your toes." Sirius patted Peter's shoulder. "Regulus brought his new pet."

Peter's eyes lite up. "Magical?"

"Yes." Sirius grinned.

"Awesome."

"Petey!" Morgan ran in when she saw him.

"Hey, Morgan." Peter hugged the young girl as she tackled him. "Hey, Reg." He called to the boy.

"Hey, Peter." Regulus waved. "Hey want to see something awesome?!"

"Sure."

"Go ahead, Motto."

Peter scrunched his face but when something he couldn't see landed on his arm he held it up and found a small 'sloth' on him.

"Wow! Nice!" He held up the small animal.

Motto studied the older boy before jumping off and running to the kitchen. The group watched as he suddenly ran back in and held out a banana to Peter. 

"Thanks, little guy." 

Motto had another and began eating it as he sat on the floor.

"He's nice."

"He's not crawling through your things," Tony said. Then looked at the kids. "If they set the place on fire..."

"Call you for Wanda so she can get here and put it out," Peter repeated.

"And you?" Tony looked at Morgan.

"Same if Petey sets the place on fire or blows it up." She replied.

"No faith." Peter groaned.

"Total faith." Tony grinned. "In you two to watch each other back."

"Have fun!" Morgan called.

"Yeah, that probably won't happen," Remus said.

"Are you kidding Remus?" Sirius grinned. "Just the thought of all those prudes seeing them like this is making me laugh."

It was true. The women were going to turn some heads and infuriate a lot more.

Bruce was the last to show. He came without a date.

"Bruce?"

'I still don't think it will be wise for me to be there."

"You did the cure. You and Remus are the guest of honor."

"Honor?" Remus rolled his eyes.

"You know if you need a date I can make a quick call."

"No Tony." Bruce declined.

"Find. Going Stag."

Bruce sighed and Wanda opened the way to the event. This was going to be a long night.

"Mr. Black." Fudge greeted them at the entry to the main room.

"Minister." Sirius nodded. "Allow me to introduce you to Natasha." 

Fudge was stunned. The outfit this redhead muggle wore was not covering anything!! Neither did the other redhead! It was scandalous!

"I...Mrs. Black." He kissed the back of her hand. "It is a pleasure." He recovered quickly.

"The pleasure's mine." She knew how easy it was to deal with politicians. Meaning she hated them but knew their weaknesses.

"Mr. Lupin. A pleasure no an honor to meet you officially. You have certainly changed history."

"That was more us," Tony spoke. "Well Remus was a good test subject, except that one time we caused the left side of his body to be numb for two days but I hardly blame his attitude then." 

"Tony." Bruce and Pepper said together.

"Right." Tony held out his hand. "Tony Stark. Billionaire and holder of the distribution of the cure. This is my wife, Pepper. CEO of my company and brains behind the distribution."

Fudge was taken back by this muggle. He was very full of himself but also made it clear he was the one in control of the very vital cure. "A pleasure Mr. Stark. Mrs. Stark." He greeted. "I am thrilled you accept my invitation." 

"Always happy when politicians are willing to kiss my..."A jab from Pepper made him stop. " Right. You know you are the second Minister I have met."

"You did make her consider retiring earlier than she did." Sirius joked.

"One little demonstration of my suit and everyone gets uneasy."

"You blasted a hole in her office," Remus said.

"That was you?!" Fudge gulped. "I heard the talks but I thought it was an exaggeration."

"Nope."

Fudge felt uneasiness about that. Muggles we're barely children and for one to have so much power. It was dangerous!

He decided to press on and introduced himself to the other man. "Dr. Banner? It is a true honor. I never would have imagined a mug...Non-Magical to create a cure for our werewolf infestation."

"Infestation? They are just sick people. No different than you or anyone else here."

"Respectfully I have to disagree. I saw firsthand in the war how devastating a pack could be on the innocent. While they are sick it was still a horrid sight. I am glad that we can one day breathe easy that this disease will, hopefully, be lost to the history books."

"I hope the history is accurately taken."

"History is written by the victors," Wanda said. 

"I'm sorry I haven't gotten to you madam." Fudge said. 

"It's fine. My name is Wanda."

"A pleasure." 

"We will see." She said stoically.

"Come I believe there are a lot of people here who are eager to meet you."

There were. Even the purebloods who would never associate with muggles were asking questions. Wanda saw that some were just hoping to catch a slip up from Bruce or Tony. They were desperate to prove that these muggles were just taking credit for a work of a wizard.

It was a sad sight to see and hear. They just can't imagine that their problems were solved in a lab instead of a potions table.

Remus was used to being looked at when people discovered his condition. Fear and hate were something you never get comfortable with but you slowly accept them.

This however was not the same. Ministry officials and high government holders were shaking his hand and treating him like he was royalty.

This time last year I would have cursed at the door for even showing my face...

While Remus and Wanda we're dealing with the many questions and stares. Sirius saw another issue.

"Lucius." Sirius greeted. "Narcissa." 

"Sirius." His cousin spoke. 

"Black," Lucius said. "Mrs...Black." He had to stop himself from glaring.

"Mr. Malfoy," Natasha replied very formally. "How's the arm?"

"Fine thank you."

"Good to hear it." 'Next time I snap it.' 

"Sirius, may we speak in private?" Narcissa asked.

Natasha put her hand on his shoulder. "Go I'll keep Lucius here company." She had a smile that made Lucius pocket his wand.

Sirius grinned and nodded to his cousin. They walked to a more vacant side of the room.

"Sirius. We need to discuss your banishment of my family."

"Narcissa, I made it clear. The only way I will let you back into the Black family is if I get an unbreakable vow from Lucius."

"You are asking too much. You don't understand the dangers that came with his 'reluctant' involvement."

"I understand perfectly well. Your husband is a coward who sold his soul to the man who killed both my brothers."

"So Draco is to be punished for the alleged crimes of his father?"

"Your son is the heir to one of the richest families in the magical world. He is not going to 'suffer' anything from me except for the loss of any hope of becoming the head of House Black. Maybe this will be a way for you to teach him that following a murder will lead to ruin."

"I hope one day no one punishes you son for the actions you have taken."

Sirius's eyes grew darker. "It wouldn't happen like that if the situations were reversed. Better I suffer and risk death than my son. Something your husband chooses the opposite of."

Sirius left her there as she grew angrier. Everything the dark lord had promised had a polarized result. 

"Morgan stop!" Peter jumped as she fired again.

"It's just water!"

"I might melt!" Peter laughed.

Morgan aimed her water gun. "We'll mop you up."

"Hey, I never agreed to do mopping!" Regulus had his aimed at her.

Peter pulled out two others and aimed at both of them. "Alright, let's settle this calmly."

That was when he felt a poke at his leg. Motto had a small gun aimed up at him.

"I take it back. You're not that nice."

All three and the magical creature stared at the other.

Then Morgan opened fire on him then on Regulus.

It was war!

Bruce always felt out of place at a party but this one was even more unusual. All these magical asked about his work but almost none of them were interested. It was like they just couldn't understand how someone without magic was able to do what he did.

"Dr. Banner."

"Yes?"

"I am Amelia Bone. I am Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. I wanted to thank you for making my job a bit easier."

"Oh?"

"The threat of werewolves was something that I lost much sleep over during the war."

"I keep hearing about this war and I wish we had known about you before Strange told us. We could have helped."

"I admit the idea of the Sorcerer Supreme having assisted in the war is not as comforting as might believe. I am thankful for his help, but at the same time it is unnerving to know someone you don't know having power over you."

"You feel like you traded one dictator for another."

"Dr. Strange is a force. He is making the magical world a safer place but it is a slippery slope. How long until he might decide we should lose all right to govern ourselves?"

"I see your point, if it's any comfort I have known Stephen for a few years and I don't think he has any desire to rule over you. Well more than he has had to."

She sighed. "The sad aspect of it is he had everything right. Without his involvement, we would be no different than we were when Vo...Voldermort was around."

"Change can be frightening. Believe me."

"Oh? Big changes in your life doctor?"

"You have no idea."

As Bruce and Amelia talked on the other side of the room another figure was looking at the group of muggles with hidden disgust.

"Undersecretary Umbridge I take it?" A feminine voice asked.

Umbridge turned to see one of them standing near her. She could almost taste the difference in the air. It was polluted now. When she saw the scandalous outfit the woman wore she was even more sickened.

"Natasha Black." 

"A pleasure to meet you." Umbridge smiled as sweetly she could muster.

"You as well. I have heard a lot from the others here about you." Not one, minus the minister, had anything positive to say.

"I'm afraid I haven't heard much about you dearie. Mr. Black has been very successful at keeping his more 'adventurous' side of his life quiet."

"A necessary for safety. With Harry, you can't blame him for wanting to keep his personal life as quiet as possible."

"Of course. How are you finding the party?"

"Very informative."

"I wouldn't expect a non-magical to understand everything you might hear," Umbridge said sweetly.

"Oh? Well, I wouldn't expect a magical to fully understand how little they know and miss." Natasha smiled back.

That made Umbridge lose her 'cheerful' smile. The audacity of a muggle calling them stupid?!

"Your ministry is located under the HM Treasury Building and Whitehall in central London, deep underground. A phone booth is used to enter it if I'm not mistaken."

"I see Mr.Black has informed you of the basics. Good for you."

"Sirius didn't tell me that. The Prime Minister did."

"What?!"

"You might be surprised what information I can get."

"He had no business..."

"When you save his life from assassination he gets a little chatty."

"A weakness of lesser resolved individuals."

Natasha smirked. "Your Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes over there was very informative too. One simple smile and wink and he was saying all about the Obliviators have been working much less since the administration let First-Gens practice magic in proper places. The Statue has been more secure than ever."

Umbridge glared at that. He was one of the many mudblood who stole his position, but she couldn't get rid of him because what he said was true! That infuriated her more than anything. However, she was working hard to make the welp know his place and hopefully to leave of his own accord.

"Amelia Bone is someone I have to admit is a good and reasonable person. Her attitude toward her job is something I can support. If someone like her was in charge back when Voldemort and his band of cowards were terrorizing maybe Strange wouldn't have had to intervene."

"Amelia is very...headstrong for her position." That was the nicest thing she could think of. "You, my dear are greatly misinformed. Even without the good doctor, the Ministry would have made sure all that who were a threat to us would have been arrested."

"Based on what I have read, not likely.  Too many of your own were affiliated with him. Served him. It's almost funny, in a dark way, how easy he planted all those moles. In my world, they usually start at the bottom and work up over years. He just offered those already higher up a carrot and they became his stick to use however he pleased. I take it back that's pathetic."

"I take it that your 'civilized' section is immune from those?"

"No, but we also don't have the means to have three drops used to get even the most skilled wizard to tell secrets. Or use a contract, but we would think to roll up a sleeve."

"That serum is under strict control. The fact is Bagnold violated many rights of privacy doing that. The contracts are a...useful tool I admit." One she was hoping to exploit. "And it is not proper to think the worst of people. Many who work at the Ministry are fine citizens. To check each one for a mark we didn't even know existed would be an insult to them."

"Times of war. Your ministry had a lot of options for finding the truth and at least weeding out some of them. It chose instead to put all its faith in a school teacher. Because it was the easier option."

"I see you are not able to fully understand the complexity of war my dearie."

"Funny I was thinking the same of you. My dearie."

"Natasha." The other redhead joined them. She was not going to let this pink-wearing woman's rage go unused, she was practically oozing anger hidden behind her smile.

"Wanda."

"Mr. Lupid's date if I recall."

"Wanda Maximoff." 

"A pleasure dear. I must say I don't think I have heard of anyone with your name before."

"You wouldn't have. I am an associate of Dr. Strange."

"Of course." Umbridge was sick of having to act like she was happy to talk to these people. They had no place here!

But she didn't have the skill or power to keep that thought to herself. Wanda heard it and then went deeper.

She was disgusted. This woman was one of the most vial and bigoted people she had met and dating a werewolf had her meet quite a lot.

" I see into your mind." Wanda's eyes glowed. "You think Stephen is a threat? You have no idea what a threat is. Heed my warning. Let go of these thoughts and feelings. I am a part of this world now and I will not let members of my family face the same stupidity that allowed a single man to make you cower in fear."

"You dare threaten me?" She said but Umbridge couldn't help but feel afraid of this woman.

"Right now you're talking to Wanda. If I have to then you will next speak to the Scarlet Witch." Wanda warned.

Wanda walked away hating that she had to use that title. It still bothered her to hear it and to remember how Wong and the others looked when Strange came to her.

Natasha grinned. "That was her being reasonable just so you know." Before she pulled something out of her bag. "Oh, you might want this back."

Umbridge saw her wand in this muggles hand. "You stole my wand!"

"Not bad for a simple non-magical huh?" Nat asked. "Like I said you miss a lot when your mind is so limited."

It took everything she had to curse this disgusting harlot! How dare an animal think she can treat her like this!

"He stopped him," Bruce said. "Jarvis or Vision did. He was what you wanted to create."

"Yeah I know, but I wish it didn't have to end like that." Tony rubbed his temple.

"It could have been a lot worse Tony," Steve spoke. "You heard what Ultron was planning."

"Yeah." Tony would never stop beating himself up over what he created. 

"What about the stone?"

"Thor?" Tony asked the god.

"I can take it but it will not be safe to keep on Asgard. It is unwise to have two of them so close."

"We could hide it here," Steve recommended.

"I want that thing away from me," Clint said.

"Neither do I." Tony scratched his head but his eyes landed on Cap's shield. "I have an idea but it will take some time to be certain. Capsicle we need to go a little trip."

"Tony?"

"I'll tell you on the way. Until then." Tony put the Mind Stone in a secure box. "Let's all agree that this." He held up the box. "Stays between us."

"Very good. Now to the real issue. A celebration!" Thor boasted. "A hard-fought victory with minimal loss of life. A good battle."

"Thor." Steve motioned to their newest member.

"Oh..." As Thor remembered the magical woman.

Wanda was outside the compound. Away from the rest of the Avengers. They won but she lost everything. The only family she had left. Taken by someone she helped.

"And Vision." She muttered. 

The Android gave his life stopping Ultron before he could launch the plan to raise the earth.

She didn't acknowledge it when someone sat next to her.

"For what it's worth. Your brother was unique."

"Is that supposed to be a compliment?"

Natasha smiled. "All of us are a little off. That's what makes us a family. I do consider Petro one of us. One of my family. If that's alright with you."

"I...I think that is acceptable." 

"Welcome to the Avengers."

"Clint already explained my membership."

"He's good for that."

Both women were startled by a glowing circle that appeared out of nowhere. Natasha hit her silent call on her wrist and pulled her pistols.

Wanda held out her hands as a lone man stepped out of the circle.

"Wanda Maximoff?"

"Who's asking?" Natasha stepped slightly in front of her.

"Miss. Romanoff." The goatee man in odd robes greeted. "I'm Dr. Stephen Strange. The new Sorcerer Supreme. I came here because I need to talk to her." He motioned to Wanda.

"Yeah, not happening." Tony landed full suit with Thor next to him. "Alright, Comic-Con reject how did you get here?"

"Speak fast." Thor thundered as he called his hammer. 

"I portaled."

"Earth had wizards?" Thor asked.

"It has for a long time."

"What does a wizard want with me?"

"I saw the footage of your battlewith the robot. What you can do. I don't think you truly understand what you are."

"What I am?" Wanda glared. 

"You are a very dangerous woman. More than you know. I have read something that spoke of you. Many centuries ago. Nobody believed you to exist but after what I saw. I believe you are who was written about."

"And what do you want with me?"

"To talk."

"You seem to do a lot of that," Tony said.

"Are you going to cast stones in that category Stark?" Stephen scuffed. "I've seen you on television as well. You love to hear your own voice."

"He got you there Tony."

"Thanks for having my back there Bruce." Tony turned back to Stephen. "Wizards? You could have been helpful earlier."

"Putting down robots you create is not my duty Stark."

'And what is your duty House-magic?"

"To protect your reality. Douchbag." 

Tony and Stephen both glared at each other.

"I'll go. To hear him out."

"Wanda." Natasha started.

"I'll be fine."

"I will return her unharmed. I give my word."

"The word of a stranger," Steve said.

"177A Bleecker Street, Greenwich Village, New York City," Strange said. "That is my address if you are still worried in a few hours Captain. It was good to meet most of you."

He motioned for Wanda who slowly followed him into the portal. She looked back at the others as it closed.

"Can I offer you anything to drink?" Stephen flicked his finger and two tea cups were on the table.

"I'm not thirsty." She looked around the study they were in. "What is it you wanted to discuss?"

"Your powers."

"A 'gift' of experiments."

"No." Strange shook his head. "They were awakened with the mind stone, but I believe they were always there."

"I would know if I had powers before I let them do those experiments on me."

"Would you?" He asked. "Because your abilities are a match for a magic-wielding figure of legends. The Scarlet Witch."

"The Scarlet Witch?"

Strange cast a display over them. A figure is a bright red in the middle.

"The Scarlet Witch. A being forged of power. Capable of destroying not just the world but the very universe itself." 

"You believe this is me?"

"I do."

"Then why help me? If this is true it would be smart to keep my uninformed."

"I would rather make you an ally than an enemy."

"If I'm so dangerous. You are taking a big risk here."

"That kind of my thing." Strange grinned. "Let me show you what you have the potential to achieve. The door is open for you to leave any time you want." He stood.

She studied him for a few seconds. "Alright, Doctor." Wanda stood. "Show me."

Thus began the Scarlet Witches' first day with the Sorcerer Supreme. Neither knew what that path would start them down. Or who would eventually be walking beside them

After the 'party' was over the parents went to collect their kids while Remus and Wanda went to their own house.

She changed and then found him in his usual place. Sitting on the back porch looking up at the stars. 

"Remus?"

"That was more enjoyable than I thought." He smirked.

"Don't start." She sat next to him. "That woman is evil."

"She detested me. Her fake smile and politeness. I don't need to read her mind to know she still sees me as a beast. I could feel that from the other side of the room."

"Is that why you let me do all the talking?"

"You're better at it."

"I did see her mind. Some of it. She is a walking example of everything wrong with the world."

"I noticed she was giving you a wide birth by the end." He grinned.

"I may have given her the impression that I was not just a pretty face."

"Oh you are a beauty but the ability to alter the very fabric of the universe is a plus."

She grinned and kicked her feet up on his lap. "What are you thinking about?"

"Not just going to read my mind?"

"Do I have to?"

Remus rehearsed this over and over in his head but he was still lost. He wanted this now more than ever. 

"Wanda...I have a chance now at being someone who can be normal. No more fearing the moon. No more locking myself up. I want to have it all." He confessed. "But only with you."

He reached into his pocket and pulled out the case.

"Will you..."

"Yes."

"You're supposed to let me finish."

"I was impatient." She smiled. 

He pulled the ring out and slid it on her waiting finger.

"How long did you know I was planning to ask you?"

"I don't need to read your mind to know what you are thinking."

"Too simple-minded?" He joked.

"Too many years together." She looked at her hand. "And many more."

"That I promise."

"I'll hold you to that."

Remus responded by locking their lips together.

The four parents found the carnage in Morgan's room.

Waterguns and snacks on the floor. Webbing everywhere and the three were all over the place.

Morgan was in her bed while Peter was in a hammock of his webs. Regulus was in another one with Motto sleeping tightly on his chest.

"I thought he was supposed to be watching them?" Natasha whispered.

"This is watching them," Pepper said back.

"Should we wake them?"

"I think it's alright if Reg wants to sleep over." Tony grinned.

"What about Parker?"

"Sirius?" 

"On it." He pulled out his wand and levitated Peter out of his hammock and into the living room.

"What?!" Peter shot up when it felt like someone had started to tickle him. "Stop!!"

Sirius continued the spell until he got the stop from Tony.

"Oh...hey guys...you're back early."

"No, you fell asleep."

"Oh...we didn't burn the place down."

"Next time I have Happy watch you babysit them."

"A babysitter for a babysitter," Pepper said.

"Oh come on. It wasn't that bad."

Tony held up one of his helmets covered in webbing and filled with candy. Half-eaten candy.

"That was your daughter."

Tony shook his head."Come on kid I'll give you a lift home."

"Thanks, Mr...Tony."

Tony patted the boy's shoulder as they head for the door. Morgan has him wrapped around her finger.

Lucius slammed the door closed behind him. 

Black, Lupin, that Muggle, Strange!, and now this Wanda! 

She is not just an annoyance at the games. Umbridge is terrified of her. What power does she have?!

How am I to turn this disaster that has plagued us for the last decade with them always breathing down Fudge's neck?! I didn't help elect that incompetent fool to lose the influence to Black! I need to find a way to remove him and that doctor.

His plan for destroying Weasley's influence was still in play. Lucius was hopeful that the school would be purged fully of the undeserved and remove that blood traitors brood with them.

"Lucius." Narcissa walked in. "We have a guest."

"I'm not in the mood to entertain, my dear. Please excuse me."

"That is no way to greet an old friend."

Lucius immediately knew that voice. He pocketed his wand as he turned to see Greyback standing just behind his wife.

The sight of the werewolf in his home was sending alarm bells off in his head.

"You're looking well. Lucius." Greyback ran a claw down Narcissa's side. "Your wife was kind enough to let me in."

The look of fear on her face was almost enough to draw wand and take a shot but it was too risky. 

"A pleasure." Lucius knew he had to get her out of the room. "I'll handle this from here, please leave us."

The look between husband and wife said a thousand words. She was already planning her spells to take the 'man' out at the first sign of issues. 

Once Narcissa shut the study Lucius spoke.

"You. You come into my house?!" He said calmly but forcefully. 'Do you have any idea what you could bring down on my family?!"

"Yes, your house." Greyback looked at the various books. "So...tame. Was all this worth removing your arm?"

"What transpired was needed. Some of us are more useful not locked in a cage. Or living in the woods."

"Cowards." Greyback scuffed. "You know why I'm here." He held up the paper.

"The cure," Lucius said. "I imagine you are unsatisfied with its development?"

"Unsatisfied?! This muggle is killing my gift! I want his head!"

"That would be unwise. Strange is protecting him."

"This Doctor needs to die as well!"

"How do you plan on doing this? You will never be able to get to Banner during the full moon. We both know that is when you are most dangerous."

"You let me worry about that." Greyback's twisted smile was a scary sight.

Lucius considered his options. This could be of use to him. He just had to be mindful.

"It just so happens that the muggle in question has been approached by many for answers about the cure," Lucius explained. "It would be easy for Fudge to request a publicity stunt to show support. A simple whisper in his ear." He poured himself a drink.

Greyback sat up straighter.

"Of course, the day will be well-published in the paper. One that will be widely available to someone less inclined to show their true nature."

"I need more than that."

"I am limited with my own plans. Trying to undo Stranges damage to the world is my first priority."

"I need Lupin." Greyback hissed. "He needs to be made an example of."

"I expect Lupin to be there as well, but the real issue will be the redheaded witch that will be with him."

"I can handle one witch."

"Not this one," Lucius warned. "Believe me when I say nothing you have will be enough for her, but if she were to fall first?"

That made Greyback grin.

With the papers, it will be easy to see how Greyback took the opportunity. I should have nothing to fear of being linked to this. Then again there's hope the witch will rid the world of you too. All you are is cannon fodder. The Dark Lord had promised to remove you once he was unquestionably ruling.  

A possible win all around. The muggle dead. Perhaps Greyback and this Wanda together?
