CONTROL(Harry Potter x MCU)

Extra: The Housing Program

Synopsis: After years of watching children like Harry, Sirius, Draco, and etc go back to unsafe living conditions over break, McGonagal decides to do something about it.

Early June 2026

"Good Afternoon everyone, thank you for meeting me here on such short notice." McGonagal smiled as I sat in her new office along side Ron, Draco, Harry, Fred, Hermione, Molly, Arthur, Ginny, Luna, Remus, Sirius, and Hagrid.

"I love what you've done with the place." I commented looking around the very lively headmistress office. There were floating candles above our heads and she enchanted the ceiling. Along the walls between portraits of the old headmasters, where group pictures of Minnie with her favorite students. The walls themselves had been painted a calming lavender and she had bookshelves everywhere. The elder wand sat in a display case along with the resurrection stone above the fireplace. Harry an I both came to the agreement that they were safer with McGonagal than anywhere else on the planet.

"I thought the place could use some life." She replied and I nodded in agreement thinking back to the last time I'd been here.

"So... not to be rude but I'm sure you didn't call us here to talk interior design. If you did you probably wouldn't have called Harry because he has shit taste in wallpaper." Draco muttered with a laugh as Harry rolled his eyes but didn't argue.

"No, I've actually called you all where to discuss a program and I was hoping you'd all be interested in helping. I've talked to a few others who couldn't be here today as well. But I have already approved this with the ministry and they have agreed to help funded this. I would like to start an housing program. To organize safer living conditions for students who don't have good home lives. As you know there just has never been enough staff to stay in the castle year round for the students who do not wish to return home for the summer, but I believe that we can work out alternative living arrangements if they'd choose to stay somewhere that isn't home." Minnie explained looking around at all of us.

"We do have the extra room..." Ron started to say as he looked over at me and I smiled. He was right, we had extra room and extra beds, and the only children that stay with us are Morgan, Eva, and Bill's children on occasion.

"We'd love to help." I confirmed grabbing Ron's hand. To be for other children what Molly and Arthur where for me? How could I say no.

"Us as well." Sirius spoke up as he and Remus nodded their heads.

"After everything Molly and Arthur have done for us...how could we say no." Harry spoke as everyone seemed to nod in agreement.

"Wonderful. Now as you all know, Luna Lovegood is our newly appointed guidance counselor. She will typically be the first one to spot whether a child should be rehomed. Some of these children may even need new homes permanently. Some just for Christmas if they choose not to stay in the castle. A few of the muggleborns I have already spoken to will need permanent placement at the end of the school year. It's a lot to ask I-"

"It's really not Minnie. If...Dumbledore, had cared nearly as much as you do about the well-being of his students. Half the people in this room would have been permanently rehomed. It's good what you're doing, it gives more children the opportunity to find the same safe space we were lucky enough to fall into." Harry interrupted with a smile.

"He's right. Kids deserve to have a place they aren't afraid to go home too. I'd be honored if we could be that for them." Sirius agreed.

"And as far as the kids with permanent placement needs..." I paused looking around before making eye contact with Ron.

"We wouldn't mind taking them if they were comfortable staying with us." He said finishing my sentence.

"All of them are 11 years old, One is a Slytherin and the other two are Hufflepuffs like I said they're muggle borns. However they came from extremely religious families and therefore have no place to return home to." Minnie explained before handing me a sparkly yellow file that hand Luna's curly hand writing on the front. I opened it and was immediately met with three pictures on a small stack of paperwork.
