Harry was left somewhat uncertain after the Headmaster left, wandering back into the keep after seeing the old wizard away. Xander was, of course, waiting for him, albeit without looking much like he was waiting.
“You give away your vaults?”: The American asked with a grin that only seemed half joking.
Harry rolled his eyes, “I’m not that daft. He wanted something else, though.”
“Oh?” Xander perked up a bit. “What was that?”
“The Keep....

Albus looked around the interior of the keep as they made their way into the greeting room.
“I see the elves have been doing their usual superb job,” He said, “However things appear to be much… larger than the last time I was here.”
“My mail was being stored here,” Harry said as they entered the room and he gestured to a comfortable chair, “please, have a seat… anyway, apparently there wasn’t enough room for the mail so the elves took it upon themse...

With most of the summer’s excitement seemingly over, the remaining days sped by for the teens as they waited for school to start up again. Harry, under the supervision of either the Weasleys or Andromeda, spent some time at his Keep in order to go through as many of the gifts left for him there as well as clean up the upper floors to something he could see himself moving into if and when he got the chance.
Wednesday spent most of her time with Xander or down in the lower f...

Narcissa shuddered as she made her way back through the manor house, the remnants of the Dark Lord’s cruciatus randomly setting her nerves aflame.
Sessions with the Dark Lord were rarely positive, even when he was moderately pleased with the outcome.

She looked up and gratefully accepted the potion offered as Lucius appeared beside her.

Xander groaned as he stretched out the kinks in his neck. They’d dropped Harry back at Ottery St Catchpole, letting him make his way to the Weasley’s with Andromeda and Tonks while Narcissa took Draco for what Xander assumed would be a more intensive debriefing of what he’d seen that evening.
Xander, for himself, had pulled his bike out of storage and headed for the Granger’s home where Wednesday and Hermione were awaiting news.

Narcissa watched quietly as the four made their way back to the limo, the flash from the bulbs of the cameras setting afterimages in her eyes even through the heavy tint of the car’s windows.
“Harry’s looked better,” She observed mildly.
Romy chuckled softly, “Are you surprised?”
Narcissa shot her sister a dry look, “I’m more surprised that he’s still walking under his own power.”
“Myself as well,” Andromeda admitted, “Why do you t...

It didn’t take long for Xander to find trouble again.
This city is insane.
Not even Gotham approached the level of crime and violence that Brockton Bay offered up as part of the normal daily grind of the city. He doubted that even some of the Arkham crime sprees could truly match up with the normal day and night here, though that might be pushing it a bit far.
Certainly, the Arkham inmates provided a certain level of class that Su...

Xander held back as Harry forced himself to mingle, smirking as his friend’s utter misery at the prospect. Not that he really blamed him for it, Xander couldn’t much see the point of it all either, though he recognized that Harry’s situation was different.
“Scarhead looks like someone’s got a wand to his head,” Draco said beside him, the blond was rolling his eyes. “It’s just a party.”
“I think this is the second party Harry has ever been to...

Not much to say, sorry I've been slow lately, but here's some nice epub for the fuill story to date. I'll also see about getting the side stories up shortly. Hopefully get some more into the story soon too, maybe even tonight. Fifth year just... I don't WANT to write fifth year, I hated that book, but I need to get through it to spin off the story from Hogwarts. Sigh.

The soft rustling of leaves in the evening breeze underscored the tranquil majesty of the Windsor Castle gardens. The gathered Knights of the Realm stood arrayed on the emerald lawns, a constellation of service and duty under the fading golden light of the day. Tables adorned with white linen and silver glimmered faintly, but all attention was fixed on the small dais where Her Majesty the Queen now rose to speak.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the Realm,” she began, her voice ...

Some party.
Xander looked over the guests with a mixture of interest and boredom. He was interested, but his complete lack of any understanding at what he was looking at left him with nothing to focus the interest on. Hence, the boredom.
“This is really not fun,” Harry said from behind him, shifting uncomfortably. “Everyone is looking at us.”
“Of course they are,” Draco said snippily, “You were just announced as the Mage Knight, what did yo...

The next few days passed in relative peace, while Harry and Xander made their preparations for the Queen’s party along with the rest of their friends and at least one not-so-friend.
Wednesday found herself helping in those preparations, not because she cared much for Potter and his dealings, but because it put her in a position to continue to nudge Xander in the direction she wanted him to go… and also because she rather enjoyed his company, though...

Xander and Wednesday stepped out into the street, The Shadows had changed with the shifting of the Sun and now Saville Row was bathed in a gentle Twilight. the summer heat and humidity that Kung to the London streets was lessened to a point that it felt almost cool to Xander’s Californian sensibilities.
Wednesday on the other hand looks slightly pained as the humid warmth washed over her.

Xander had to admit that the suit was entire leagues beyond his previous purchases in the field.
Almost as comfortable as relaxed clothing, and only at a few thousand times the cost, He thought dryly as he turned and looked at himself in the mirror.
“Satisfied?” Derrick Malfus asked from where he was watching in amusement.
“I mean, I don’t know jack about clothing, but it feels good,” Xander admitted. “Guess it looks ok?”...

Brockton Bay
The evening sun had set a short time earlier, leaving the city blanketed in the cold of the spring night as Xander and Taylor sat on the edge of one of the taller buildings in the city, looking down over it all.
Brockton Bay was a city well into its decline, the sort of thing that Xander had seen before during his travels, through various causes. In its own way it felt like a grittier and darker version of Gotham, but...

“What exactly happened?”
Xander winced a bit, the anger in Danny’s voice was on a low simmer but he could tell that it was only barely restrained.
“In my defense,” Xander said, holding up his hands, “I made certain that there were no parahumans on site when we moved in, and took out the active threats before letting her get anywhere close.”
“Get to the part where Oni Lee and Lung showed up.”

“This is a surprise,” Narcissa said, looking Xander up and down for a moment before her eyes were drawn to the young girl standing quietly behind him. “I was not informed you would be here, young mister Harris.”
“Nor I,” Andromeda said, sounding equally surprised. “What brings you to Savile Row?”
“A suit,” Xander shrugged idly. “It seems that I have a bodyguard gig for some useless ponce or another and need to look the part.”

“You need a new suit.”
Xander blinked, looking over to where Wedsneday, who had been quietly reading alongside Hermione, had just spoken.
“I do?”
“You will be going to a party with the Queen,” The Addams scion told him bluntly. “And you’ve grown significantly since your last fitting.”
“If your last fitting was the suit we helped you acquire, she’s right, Lad,” Daniel said from across the room. “I can call my tailor, if you like.”...

Harry looked up in surprise, but also in relief, when Andromeda entered the room.
“Thank you for coming,” He blurted out, “I’ve been trying to figure out what to do about this…”
He helplessly held up the Invitation from the queen, and looks so plaintively at her that Andromeda had to hold back laughter.
“ Oh Harry,” she said, still holding back her laughter, “ it's not that bad, I promise.”

Andromeda sighed deeply to herself as she approached the Weasley household.
Getting Harry to agree to this will take some convincing, She was rather certain.
That said, it had its merits to her mind, both in dealing with the current problems and with the eventual fallout of the Dark Lord’s return. Gaining favors was just the beginning of what it could benefit Harry and Houses Black and Potter.
The trick would be convincing Harry of it.

Harry was exhausted when he stumbled back along the drive to the Dursely’s home, as well as deeply confused by the events of the day. The political situation was such that he wasn’t certain that he ever would… or ever wanted to… fully understand any of it.

He looked back to see Hermione and Xander arriving on the motorcycle and waved wearily as they pulled to a stop and Hermione quickly hopped off.

Hermione stared, eyes a little wide when Xander arrived back at her place with Wednesday in tow.
“Wednesday? Why are you here so early?” She blurted.
Wednesday looked at her evenly before drawling, “Why Hermione, one might think you’re not ecstatic to see me.”
Hermione rolled her eyes, “Only Xander is crazy enough to ever be ecstatic to see you. I tend to rest more on the mildly pleased while majorly concerned range.”

Wednesday looked around, visibly surprised by what she was seeing.
“Potter has a home like this?” She asked, slightly unbelieving.
“So it would appear,” Xander chuckled, leaning back against one wall as she examined some of the old supposed torture devices. “We’re trying to decide if it was a literal dungeon for holding prisoners, or if Harry’s grandparents were just really freaky.”
Wednesday grimaced, withdrawing her hand from the rack as she tur...

“So what brings you across the pond this early in the summer?” Xander asked curiously as he took a sip of his butterbeer and nodded thanks to Tom for delivering the drink.
Wednesday just looked at him evenly, not speaking for a moment.

The magic of the portkey dissipated, leaving Wednesday Addams standing in the center of the secure reception point of the London Diplomatic Attache’s Office. The Marines on duty didn’t react to her presence, other than to gesture to the door as she walked past them.

Just what the title says, I'm not quite ready to make this canon to the story, but I was tinkering with ChatGPT to see if it could produce some of the more random commenters, along with some key characters, and after some tweaking this is the result. It's not bad, but it's not quite right either. So if any of it winds up in the story, it'll be rewritten quite a bit.
Still, have a Random PHO thread concerning the story :

This guy really isn’t all there upstairs, Xander decided as he saw the man in the Oni Mask watch him approach.
There was something wrong with the thoughts that were happening there behind the eyes that were partially covered by the mask the Parahuman wore. His thoughts were a mix of simplistic, almost… child-like, and not a particularly bright child either… and a cold calculating set of equations that were flashing past almost too fast for Xander to make out.<...
