"For Godric's sake, Aurora, go to sleep." Harry said, lying on his stomach, his face buried in a pillow.
"Harry, I can't. I have to have a little talk with Hermione and Ginny before I go to sleep." Aurora whined, poking the blankets. Harry's head peeked in from the top bed.
"Merlin's beard, Aurora! Go to sleep, or I'll cast the Imperius Curse on you!" Harry snapped, which was, actually, counterproductive.
"And you'll go to Azkaban! Seriously, Harry, I can't sleep!" Aurora shot back, as Harry lifted his head up. "Do you have my headphones?"
"Yeah... why?" Harry asked slowly.
"One, they're mine, two, I want them." Aura said dangerously and Harry dropped them as Aura caught them.
Harry grumbled as he went back to sleep and Aura plugged her headphones in her phone and opened Spotify.
"Great! The little sleepiness I had left me! Are you happy now?" Harry scowled.
"Mhmm." Aura affirmed, infuriating Harry.
"Whatever you're playing, just sing it out loud as well, I want to sleep." Harry said and Aura muttered a small 'Sure.'.
She scrolled through the playlist. There wasn't anything that she was in the mood for, except Dua Lipa and she knew Harry would never let her have another peaceful night if she played that now.
Frowning, she clicked on 'Something Just Like This' by Chainsmokers and Coldplay, and sang along softly.
"I've been reading books old, the legends and the myths,
Achilles and his gold, Hercules and his gifts,
Spiderman's control, and Batman with his fists,
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list,
But she said 'Where d'you wanna go? How much you wanna risk?..."
Aura slowly dozed off and so did Harry
<the next morning>
Aura stirred and opened her eyes.
Birds were chirping outside the window, and Harry could be heard singing horribly in the shower.
"I'M BLUE, DA-BA-DEE-DA-BA-DIE-"
"SHUT IT, HAZZA!"
"Aur, you're awake?" His voice sounded surprised.
"No, I'm dead." She said, voice dripping with sarcasm, as she sleepily made her way to the mirror to brush out the knots in her hair.
But, she didn't notice Harry's trunk sticking out and tripped over it.
"Aura, you okay?" Harry called, as he heard a yelp and a loud "Ow!".
"No!" came her reply as she hissed in pain.
Harry turned off the water, wiped himself with the towel, threw on his T-shirt and pants, and walked out, drying his hair.
Aura was lying there, half-asleep, hair flying everywhere, her leg bleeding.
"Aura!" Harry exclaimed, dropped his towel and rushed to his sister, who seemed to be sleeping through the pain.
"Don't wake me up, sleeping reduces the pain." Aura mumbled sleepily as Harry awkwardly stood there, helplessly looking around for something to help him.
"I'll go get Mr. Stark." Harry said with child-like confidence, but Aura couldn't care less. "Where is he, by the way?"
"Ask FRIDAY." Aura said, her eyes still clamped shut.
"Okay, uhh, FRIDAY?" Harry called uncertainly.
"Yes?" A robotic female voice rang out from the ceiling, startling Harry.
"Oh, um, where's Mr. Stark?" Harry asked, still trying to register that the voice was coming from the ceiling.
"He is in the kitchen. Would you like me to call him?" FRIDAY asked automatically, and Harry replied, "Yes, please.".
After a few moments, Tony came walking in.
"What is it, kiddo?" He asked.
"I hurt my leg." Aura said, sleepily, still at it.
"Oh my god, Aurora! And you're sleeping through this?!" Tony exclaimed, helping her to her feet.
"Sleeping reduces the pain." Aurora repeated and shrugged.
"Your wound's gonna get septic! C'mon, we gotta get you to the hospital wing!" Tony said, as Harry and him supported her as she limped forwards.
"But, Hogwarts is a long way from here!" Aurora said.
"Not Hogwarts' hospital wing, Aurora, use your brain!" Harry drawled.
"You're talking as though you have one!" Aurora hissed.
"Stop fighting, you two!" Tony snapped as they stepped into the elevator. "FRIDAY, take us to the hospital floor."
"Yes, sir." came the robotic reply, as the elevator drifted off to a floor number so big it couldn't possibly exist.
The elevator dinged, and the three of them stumbled out, and a lady with straight black hair and stunning brown eyes holding a clipboard came walking towards them.
"Cho, she hurt her leg and she's bleeding." Tony said quickly, as he made her sit on one of the beds.
"How did you hurt yourself?" The lady asked as Aurora clutched her leg.
"I tripped over Harry's suitcase." She said and the lady nodded, jotting something down on her clipboard when the doors off the hospital wing opened again and this time, a man with dark brown hair and piercing blue eyes and a lady with red hair and similar blue eyes walked in, the lady holding her arm.
Aurora gaped at them both, Harry muttered a small, "Oh dear," and Tony sighed.
"I'll be back." The doctor excused herself and walked over to the pair.
"Who are they?" Harry asked.
"The man is Clint Barton, A.K.A Hawkeye, works for S.H.E.I.L.D, and the lady is Natasha Romanoff, A.K.A Black Widow, also works for S.H.E.I.L.D, and my favorite Avenger." Aurora said, a smile creeping onto her face. Tony looked half-impressed and half-offended.
"How do you know all this?" Harry asked indignantly.
"And why am I not your favorite Avenger?" Tony asked childishly.
"I know all this because I watched all of the movies, and you're not my favorite because Natasha is." Aurora explained, as thought she doesn't have a bleeding leg that might get septic.
"Not fair." Tony pouted.
"Sorry." The doctor came sauntering back, as Natasha had a plaster on her arm that Clint was now poking, both conversing in low voices. "Show me your wound."
Aura tilted her leg, and saw a raw-red wound that blood dribbled freely out of. Harry flinched and Tony instinctively put a comforting arm around him, like a favorite uncle would.
"Ah, it doesn't look too good, we'll have to clean you up." She said.
Aura nodded and the doctor left to get something.
"First day here, and you're already in the hospital, Aura." Harry said mockingly. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, too bad."
"Well, you're one to talk. You claimed a whole ass bed at Hogwarts!" Aurora retorted. Harry scowled at her and just as Tony was about to say something, the doctor came back, wearing gloves and holding a wound-disinfectant bottle and some cotton.
"Alright, this is gonna sting a little." She warned as she let a few drops of the liquid fall onto the piece of cotton and wiped her wound with it. Aura hissed and contorted in pain and Harry flinched a little more.
"Okay, now, let's get you washed up." The doctor kindly helped her get to her feet and walked her to a wash-basin sort of thing in a corner.
"Alright kid, what was she saying about claiming a whole hospital bed at school? Don't tell me it's nothing." Tony said.
"Well, each year something weird happens, so, when we try to solve it, we get hurt along the way, and besides, I play Quidditch at school so I get hurt there a lot." Harry shrugged as Tony looked disgusted.
"What kind of school is this?" Tony said, scrunching up his face.
"Tony!" The man in the corner, Clint Barton, called him.
"Coming!" Tony said, as he walked over.
~~~
"Tony, tell me that's not Harry Potter...?" Clint said as soon as Tony reached them.
Natasha laughed and said, "Yeah, and Hogwarts is in New York. Talk sense, Barton." and Tony awkwardly sighed.
"Well, about that..." Tony started and Clint's jaw dropped to the floor.
"Wait, that kid's Harry James Potter?" Natasha said, her face serious.
"Yeah, and that girl's his twin sister." Tony informed.
"Wait, what?" Nat and Clint chorused.
"What, he isn't supposed to have a sister?" Tony asked, shrugging.
"No, but, if that girl likes pranking, then I'm not complaining." Clint said matter-of-factly.
"She does look like Lily Evans..." Nat said, scrutinizing the raven-haired boy with glasses who was standing awkwardly next to an empty blood-stained bed.
"But with James' eyes." Clint added, and Natasha nodded. Tony looked like a deer in the headlights.
"James? Lily?" He asked a little too loudly, and Harry's ears perked up at sound of his parents' names (he kept to himself nonetheless; he didn't dare walk up to them) as Clint and Natasha shushed Tony.
He heard shuffles from the corner, and saw Aurora and Cho coming, Aura having her leg heavily bandaged and jogged over.
"Hey, you better now?" Tony asked, and Aura nodded.
"She needs rest." Cho said, nodding her head.
"Madam Pomfrey who?" Aura mumbled under her breath as they led her back to her bed.
Harry helped her get in the bed and Aurora resumed gaping at Natasha and Clint as they stared right back at her. Tony excused himself, saying he had 'work'.
~~~
Harry had dozed off on Aura's bedside, sound asleep.
Aura, on the other hand, was wide awake, having an unspoken staring contest with Clint. At long last, Clint blinked and Aura let out a victorious whoop, waking Harry up.
"Merlin, Aura." Harry said sleepily, rubbing his eyes.
"I just won a staring contest for Godric's sake!" She protested.
"I keep losing to everyone..." Clint mumbled loud enough for everyone to hear.
"That's 'cause you suck, Clint." Natasha beamed.
Clint stuck his his tongue out at her, and turned away, pouting like an emotional toddler who wanted a Bugatti for breakfast. Even Natasha chuckled in a motherly fashion.
Harry looked at Aura, as though asking for context.
"They're best friends." She said simply.
"Oh." was all he could say. It wasn't like he needed to say much anyways; it was pretty self-explanatory.
Suddenly, the doors burst open again, and this time a man with curly black hair wearing square glasses came walking through the doors, accompanied by Steve.
Before Harry could even open his mouth, Aura started her fangirling.
"That's Bruce Banner, the Hulk. Surely you know the Hulk, at least? " She added hopefully.
"Of course I do." said Harry bracingly.
"Well, thank Merlin." Aura commented.
They watched, for a few moments, as Bruce and Steve talked with Natasha and Clint in low voices then left the place with solemn expressions on their face.
"Why do they look so serious? Did something bad happen?" Harry asked and Aura looked at him as though he was insane.
"101 reasons why you ain't in Ravenclaw, buddy." She said.
"Oh shut up and just answer the question." said Harry wearily.
"Well, of course something happened! They're freaking superheroes for Godric's sake! I reckon HYDRA's behind it." She added as an afterthought.
"What's HYDRA?" He asked.
"Ya really don' know nuffin', do ya?" She mimicked Stan Shunpike, the conductor for the Knight Bus. "HYDRA's this organization that's exactly like Death Eaters, except, they'll be treated worse than dogshit. They'll be trained in Muggle combat, then sent to take over the world. These people, the Avengers, stop them. Mostly, it's just Natasha and Clint but sometimes the entire team joins in."
"I call bullshit." said Harry.
"And I call you bull shit." snarled Aurora. "Call this bullshit one more time, and I'll punch you so hard, you'll end up in Tartarus."
"Mean." He mumbled under his breath.
"That's nothing compared to what you did, Hazza." retorted Aura.
"What is it with you and this universe?" Harry asked, so done with this.
"Are you kidding me?" Aura scoffed rather loudly. "This is perfect!"
"You wanted to be an Avenger?" Harry asked disbelievingly.
"Duh!" Aura said, who almost yelling now.
"You and you fandoms, I'm done." Harry muttered.
