Steve's Letter
Two Years Later
July 4, 1929
Bucky’s POV
It has now been two years that I have been at Hogwarts, and finally Steve is going to join me. It is now 3:04 in the morning, because I was just woke up from the Owl arriving with Steve’s Letter and my sister crying. So, here I am in the Nursery trying to get Elizabeth to calm down walking around, I have checked her diaper already so finally I set her back down in her crib and went to get my mom since she fed them. I went and knocked on her and dad’s door, and I heard dad holler “Come in. What is it?”
“Dad, Lilly is hungry” I said opening the door and just standing in the door way.
“Ok, James go back to bed. We have shopping to do tomorrow” he replied.
I just nodded and went back to bed, falling right to sleep, once Lilly quite crying.
The Next Morning
Steve’s POV
Today is not only my 11th birthday but I finally get to go to Hogwarts with my Bucky. Today we have to go to Diagon Alley to get my Uniform and since I have the books, my own trunk, my pet Shadow, and everything else but a wand, and my uniform. First, we will be heading towards the Wand shop here in New York, then I think I may want to wait to get my Uniform dad takes us to the Manson. I went downstairs while Bucky was in the shower. Mama Wini was in the kitchen with Betty in her high chair.
“Well your down for the first time in the morning. Are you excited to go to Hogwarts?” she asked.
“Yes, I am.” I answered when we heard a knock on the door.
“I got it” We heard dad holler as he came down the stairs.
George’s POV
When there was a knock on the I hollered down the stairs “That I got it” and went and opened the door only to see the Deputy Headmaster.
“Mr. Barnes do I have the right address?” he asked.
“You here for Mr. Rogers?” I asked him.
“Yes, I am. There is are two address under his name for some reason and I went with this one first.”
“Well he lives here with us when his mother is working. She will be here soon, she actually got off today to surprise him.”
“You aren’t his parents?”
“No, we are not. We just watch him. With him we are going to have to the Nurse with Steve, so we are going to have to go up to the school and talk to them” I told him.
“OK, we can do that after we get his supplies since I don’t have to explain all this to him and his mother”
“We already have most of his supplies actually,” I told him as Sarah walked up to the door.
“I’m here.” I heard Sarah say behind him.
“Why don’t both of you come in and we can head to Hogwarts to talk to the school nurse”
“Of, course. You already know, Mrs. Rogers?” he asked.
“Yes, I found out about the world when my son James got his letter and George decided to take Steve and get him checked out with medical. That was also when I found out that my husband was also magical, and he inherited it from him.”
“Oh, so you are magical also?”
“No, I’m not, my husband was though?”
“ma’am it is illegal for the Witch or Wizard to marry a No – Maj. So how is that possible?”
“Her husbands magic was bound, which passed down to his son. It looked it was done when he was 18.” I explained.
“Joseph and I married in mundane world in Ireland before he joined the army, and I moved her when I was pregnant with Steve in 1917.” Sarah threw in.
“So how is James your son?”
“Oh, we pretty much raise each other’s kids. When I can I pick them up from school or all four of the spend the night at my place. And on the days and nights I am working nonstop, Winifred and George take Steven. That is why I claim their kids as my own along with Steve and they claim my Steve as their son also”
“So, Mr. Barnes how do you know about the Wizarding World before your son?”
“My father is Lord William Barnes.”
“Oh.” He said as I saw James come down with Steve again. Steve must have gone back up stairs to get ready for the day.
“Well boys it is about time you two got down here. So, James are you going to come with us, or staying here with your mother?” I asked him.
“I would like to go with ya”
“OK, then come on lets get going.” I said as Deputy Headmaster Armando Dippet produced a portkey and we all grabbed on.
We were taken to the Leaky Cauldron and when we got there, he said “We can take the flow from here”
“Actually, we can’t. Mr. Rogers has a health condition where it makes it hard for him to use the flow.” I told him.
“Oh, Ok then” he commented as he the side apparated James and Sarah, and then came back for me and Steve. Once we were all standing in front of the gate at Hogwarts. We walked through the gate and up to the front doors. After an hour we finally made it to the front doors and walked through them. Then walking up two flights of stairs and down a long hallway, and finally we made it to the Medical Wing.
We walked into the med bay, the Matron walked out, and I let Sarah do all the talking while I stayed with the boys.
“Bucky do you think I will fit in here better than I did at the mundane schools?”
“I don’t know Stevie. I don’t know, but for one thing you will always have me no matter what. Even if you wind up in a different house than I am.” He answered pulling Steve close. Just looking at those two you can tell they are not going to wait to complete their soul bound. We will be lucky if the wait until Steve is 13. While they were talking, I went and asked If I could use their flow to call my father. Professor Dippet led me to his office and I flowed my father getting him over here. He flowed over here as soon as I ended the call and stepped back.
“So why are you all at Hogwarts in the first place” he asked.
“Because, dad Steve’s mother had to talk to the matron about his health. Yes, I could have done it, but Sarah got the day off and instead of sleeping in like she usually does when she works the night shift, she came with us to support Steve.” I answered as we walked back to the med bay.
“So, what of Steve’s school supplies do you still have to get?” dad asked.
“We still have to go and get his uniform, and then when we go back across the pond, we have to get his wand.”
“Did you give James, his lessons on taking over?”
“Yes, dad but you still have to work with him on becoming Lord Barnes.”
“I will, son.” He said as we walked through the doors of the med bay to see the boys and Sarah waiting on us.
“You ready?”
“Yes, lets get out of here” Sarah answered.
“I have a portkey to take us to Diagon Alley and then you all home. And I am Lord William Barnes, Mrs. Rogers I am George’s father. You can call me William ma’am.”
“OK, well lets go, and it is Sarah if it is William for me.” She replied as we gathered the boys and started walking towards the doors.
