"Journey to Another World p.3" [especial]
Then there was the last Horcrux, which was the snake Nagini. Although I knew she was a maledictus girl, there was nothing that could be done.
Especially since she had already been tainted by Voldemort's dark magic, so now she was like some sort of inferius, as she had been dead for years.
Harry also dealt with Nagini, and at that moment Voldemort began turning to ashes in front of everyone.
"Poor snake for having a bad owner," said Wanda.
"It was a zombie snake, so now she can finally rest," I said, calming her down.
After the chaos that ensued, the Ministry sent everyone home to clean up the place, while the newspapers started writing their new most popular edition.
We were about to leave, but Wanda started bothering us by wanting to see the differences between this world and ours, as she felt Dumbledore and Voldemort were quite weak.
All the students had to go home while the professors were investigated to ensure there wasn't another one allied with Dumbledore. In the meantime, Dumbledore would be sent to trial to uncover what else he had done.
Meanwhile, the Weasley family asked to speak with Harry for a moment, so we waited on the side.
We watched as Harry talked with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, as well as Ron, who had a guilty look on his face.
Meanwhile, I was staring at a beautiful blonde who, in my world, was supposed to be my girlfriend, but here we were simply strangers. So when I return to our home, I'll call her to hear how her day went.
"If you keep staring like that, I'll tell our Fleur, and even though she's from another world, it's very likely she'll hit you," Wanda said, teasing. I just looked at her annoyed and pushed her aside.
After a while, Mrs. Weasley gave Harry a big hug, and they left with their family, while he came back to us.
"What happened?" asked Wanda, the gossip.
"Nothing. They explained that they felt guilty for never realizing they were forcing me to be friends with the Weasley family. And it seems that Ron was only controlled the first year, but I never paid attention because I wanted him to be my friend. They told me that, if I wanted, we could start our friendship from scratch," Harry said, summarizing their conversation. "But I told them it was okay. Ron was with me when we almost died many times. He was my friend," he added with a smile.
"Now that I think about it, what happened to Hermione? I didn't see her anywhere," said Wanda, looking among the students getting on the train.
"Hermione? Do you mean Hermione Granger?" Harry asked, confused. "She was our friend in first year after we saved her from a troll. But one day, she suddenly told me everything was fake and apologized. The last I heard of her was that she joined a magical school in America," Harry said, remembering an old friend.
"I see, she was also being controlled. And when she realized it, she escaped as far as possible," I said, understanding what had happened.
"Well, she's smart, so she did the right thing," said Natasha with a smile.
"So, what will you do now?" Tony asked Harry.
"I have to go back to my aunt and uncle's," Harry said, resigned and a little sad.
"Well, how about we go with you? I never met your aunt and uncle," Wanda said quickly.
"Didn't they say they were my siblings in another universe?" Harry asked, confused.
"In our universe, your uncle was imprisoned for abuse, and your aunt ran away to another country for fear that the wizards of the magical world would find out they were abusing the Boy Who Lived," I explained calmly while urging everyone to enter the portal I created right in front of Harry's house.
Harry was completely stunned by what he heard, but followed us to his house.
By the way, we needed them to bring their things, as the house-elves from Hogwarts would take care of sending everything.
Harry took the lead, a bit shy, as he rang the doorbell of his own house. After a while, hearing footsteps behind the door, a fat man with a very unfriendly face opened it.
"Who? Ah, it's you, kid. What are you doing here, and who are all these people?" he asked angrily when he saw Harry.
"Well, it seems things don't change no matter the different worlds," I said as I stepped forward before Harry could say anything.
Meanwhile, Vernon, standing at the door, tried to prevent us from entering, but with a small push from me, he flew and crashed into the wall.
"Who are you? You can't enter my house! I'll call the police!" shouted Petunia when she saw her husband barely able to breathe from the blow.
"It's funny. Now that the magical world knows that the great Dumbledore controlled you to abuse him, I'm sure everyone will feel sympathy for you. So when they find out how your uncle treats you, I don't think they'll take it very well," I said, looking at Harry, and the rest of us entered.
"Are you from that world? You're not supposed to be here! Go away!" shouted Vernon, recovering.
"Why don't we just kill them?" asked Loki, annoyed.
"Nah. Let him go to prison like his counterpart. But this time, he can go with his wife too," I responded calmly as I pulled out my phone, but then I realized that the people I know here don't know me, and there are no magical cell phones.
"Well, Wanda, do your thing. Let them surrender on their own," I said, as Wanda quickly obeyed. Petunia and Vernon looked terrified.
A couple of days later, they were arrested, while their son was sent to live with his paternal aunt. Harry was put under the care of none other than Sirius Black, now free.
After Dumbledore's trial, which was conducted quickly, and in which he confessed everything he had done "obviously with Wanda's help, who forced him to tell the truth," it was discovered that Sirius had ended up in prison as part of Albus's plan. He convinced the Potter couple to change the guardian to Peter Pettigrew, while knowing that he was the spy, as he was sending him to inform Voldemort about all the plans.
It also helped that, among the Death Eaters who had died in the cemetery, Peter Pettigrew was the only one still alive, although now he was missing an entire arm instead of just a finger, like before.
A statement was quickly issued declaring Sirius free of all charges and asking him to present himself to receive an apology. Sirius felt it was a trap, but Harry convinced him otherwise. So, several days later, we all accompanied him to the Ministry, where he was given a considerable sum of money and an apology.
Sirius only accepted because, as a free man, he could legally have Harry living with him.
As we walked through the Ministry, Wanda commented:
"Did you all realize that everyone here is pretty... weak?"
"Even when we made quite a lot of noise in the magical world, no one came to check on what we were doing," I replied, realizing.
"Now that you mention it, even the friends of the grandparents don't exist here," added Natasha, who wanted to find out if the grandparents were still alive here, only to be surprised that they weren't.
"Well, now that the tour is over, it's time to head back," said Tony, stretching as if he were tired.
"Yeah, this place has low mana. It feels uncomfortable," said Loki, also eager to return.
"Are you leaving already?" asked Harry, somewhat depressed by our departure.
"That's right, kid, it's time to go home. Our job here is done," said Tony, patting him on the shoulder.
"It was fun, Harry. Now you know you have a bunch of crazy siblings running around," said Wanda with a smile.
"You're the craziest," replied Natasha, offended.
"Well, Harry and Sirius of this world, it was a pleasure," I said while waving to them, and Tony activated the return portal.
"Thanks for being my siblings for a few days," Harry quickly said, to which we all waved goodbye with a smile before disappearing into the portal.
Meanwhile, Sirius, who had been silent the whole time, approached Harry and patted him on the back.
"Having siblings is great. Maybe you should find yourself a wife and have kids, Padfoot," said Harry, leaving Sirius frozen, who simply shook his head.
In the Forbidden Forest, where we had left the traveling machine, we met Dumbledore, my grandparents, and Harry, who seemed to be waiting for us or perhaps had just arrived.
"What the hell is this and where did you come from?!" shouted Grandma, angry when she saw us appear.
But she was silenced by Wanda's scream.
"Grandma!" she said as she ran to hug her, leaving the grandma confused.
Natasha also approached to hug her, as well as Grandpa. I looked at the twins and signaled them to join in. We all hugged the grandparents. Although we didn't show it, knowing that they had died in the other world affected us a lot.
Harry, not understanding what was happening, happily joined the family hug. By the way, he was here because he understood the machine better than anyone, and they brought him here after finding it but not finding us.
Wanda broke the hug when she saw Dumbledore standing aside, waiting patiently.
"Dumby, here you are. If you turn evil in this world, I'll kick your ass," said Wanda, showing Dumbledore her fists, who looked at her with a mischievous smile.
"Then I'll behave. I don't want you and your family to hit me. I'm pretty old," Dumbledore replied with a smile.
"Although, for now, I'll ask you to store your... machine. It's very close to the school, and it could be dangerous for the students," he added before letting my grandparents take care of watching over us.
While we dismantled the machine, the men worked while Wanda told Grandma about our adventure.
"So, everyone was weak and Dumbledore was an addict. We even had to save Harry again in that world," Wanda said, excited.
"Hey, you don't save me all the time," replied Harry, annoyed.
"Voldemort parasite, first year. Basilisk, second year," I said, not taking my eyes off my work.
"The fat rat and Sirius, even though he wasn't guilty, third year. Oh, and also when you fell to the dementors, and we almost wiped them out," added Wanda, remembering when she and Stephen got angry.
"Didn't you have a Death Eater attack during the Quidditch games?" asked Tony, mocking.
"In that one, I defended myself," Harry quickly replied.
"You defended yourself from the ones capturing the culprits," said Loki while continuing to dismantle part of the machine.
"Stop bothering your brother," intervened Grandma Perenelle, smiling as she saw how we got along.
"Although, Nico, maybe we should put more protections around Harry," she added, somewhat concerned about Harry's chaotic life at Hogwarts.
Harry, hearing this, muttered under his breath while we all laughed.
Once we finished dismantling everything, we returned to the castle. By the way, yes, we were all punished; even Natasha didn't escape. Something that made Sirius laugh when he found out, although when Natasha looked at him, he shut up and, like a scared child, ran off.
