''Ok leave the Avengers thing, it's time for bed. Let me show you your bedrooms.'' Tony told them. Alice and Rolf noted their heads and followed him down the hallways while Richard stayed behind for another glass of whiskey.

''Everything is the same I didn't change anything. These are your keys '' Tony handed them their keys ''My room is over there as you remember and oh Pepper is going to bring you clean towels. I want you to feel comfortable, if you want anything do not be afraid to call me."

''Thank you for everything Uncle Tony it means a lot '' Rolf thanked him with a smile

''Everything for my family because you are. So, good night and welcome home again.'' He hugged Alice and kissed her head.

''Good night Uncle ''Rolf and Alice said.

Alice opened the door and when she saw her old bedroom a tear fell on her cheek from emotion and happiness at the same time. It was just how she left it.

Tony created a bedroom that perfectly embodies his goddaughter's personality. It was big and bright with vintage furniture and mirrors. The walls were painted with a mix of white and blue, colours that hold a special place in the young girl's heart, illuminated by scattered lights that provided a cosy ambience.

In the centre, it was her comfortable bed and behind books and suitcase had been artfully arranged to serve as decorative elements. Of course, it wasn't missing the hint of magic.

Tony wanted to make Alice feel like she was in Hogwarts like she didn't ambanoded magic when she visited him in the maggle world. So, they worked together to create a space that is nothing but perfect a true statement to Tony's dedication to making his goddaughter's dreams come true.

She sat on the bed and took a quick scan of her old bedroom. She lost herself in her childhood memories and all the amazing experiences she had in this room, in this tower, in this city years ago.

She was too distracted to notice someone knock on her door. She turned though, when that person, who came inside pulling her out of her memories, cleared his throat . Tony was standing with towels in his hands and a bouquet of red roses and white lilies.

''These are for my little girl " And handed the bouquet.

''Thanks again godfather " She said and sit down on the bed along with Tony "I missed my room''

''Well now you are here and you can live here as long as you want, neither me nor Pepper has a problem '' Tony told her,making Alice smile  at the mention of her name and responded ''you really love her don't you?''

''yes, I do '' Tony laughed and hugged her ''it is late you should go to sleep I will see you tomorrow. I love you 3000 little trouble''.

''I love you too. Goodnight. " Immediately she stood up, picked up her wand, and started unpacking her things.



The precious wand that chose Alice was a 10 inches are made of a wood which matched her personality along with dragon heartstrings core. Rowan wood were much- favoured for wand and reputated to be the most protective wand out of all of them and being matched with dragon heartstring made the owner unconditionally powerful.

...

It was midnight, the girl was inside the suitcase looking at the magical shelving while the creatures were sleeping.

She was thinking her life,her friends and how different her life would be if Voldemort never existed in the first place. If  Voldemort indeed never existed, all the people who had lost their lives would be alive now and one of them would be Cedric.

She loved to see her godfather and Pepper like that.Tony was a huge playboy but right now it was like he found his other half,his soulmate.It made her very happy but deep down she envied that cause she didn't have it neither now nor ever again.

Suddenly she heard a noise from behind her, it was Rolf.

''What are you doing here it's late. You should be in your bed, sleeping'' Alice whispered so she would not wake them up.

''So are you, why are you here?I thought we feed them two hours ago.''Her big brother asked and she responded naturally ''I couldn't sleep"

''Same...so tell me what is going on''

''Nothing everything is fine, why?''

''Alice I know you as I know that if you don't sleep it is either because you saw a nightmare, overthinking or ... him'' Rolf did not say his name but Alice knew exactly who he meant by 'him'and started crying. Rolf  came closer and put his arms around her.

''You know...I envy Pepper and Tony for what they have because I used to have that too but now I don't." She started to sob''it may sound silly to you '' Rolf  opened his mouth to speak but she stopped him

''And maybe find it hard to believe but I STILL love him. I miss him, I miss his touch his v-v-voice everything, and because... I- I know what you are going to say, I don't believe I will find somebody eventually''

''One chance, this is what I want. One chance to see Cedric again ...one more time to tell him how much he meant to me '' She stopped crying for a moment and took a deep breath. She knew if she continued she would probably have a panic attack. There was silence for a few minutes until Rolf finally spoke.

''Do you remember when you told for the first time to Edward about Cedric in the third year?''

''How could I ever forget, he was pale, white like paper and-

''and almost pass out, yeah I was there it was terrific seeing his reaction. He always wants to be that big protective brother who says 'not dating boys until you are 30'' Rolf interrupted her giggling.

''While Dafne didn't stop asking questions about him. For Helga's sake that dinner was ... unbelievable. And of course, I can not stop thinking about your reaction when you find out, I thought you would kill him.You talk about Edward but you are just like him '' Alice tease him.

''Trust me I would'' he said as he touched her hair ''You are my little sister. It's my duty. I have to protect you and I am not going to let anyone hurt you... anyone ... not again.''he whispered as they hugged "As for the other one ... Well you are right, Edward and I we are so much alike."

''I -mmm I know how much you miss him, I understand but you too know very well you deserve a second chance and this person will come just have a little fate". Rolf advised were always wise.

" I -I will try... I promise" Alice swore.

After spending some time together, they eventually returned to their respective rooms when they started feeling tired
