Finding my way in life

First task and meeting the Starks

Next day Harry woke up, professor McGonagall gave him the time table of Ravenclaws 4th years, so if he wished, he could take a class with his brother, he decided he would take Ancient Runes; when he got to the classroom he realized that his brother was not taking that class, when he left it he realized that he was more advanced than them and would probably take his OWLs this year.

It had been a week since the lunch he had with the Potters when Alex intercepted him.

"I need to talk to you" said Alex in a hurry.

"Yeah?"

Without thinking Alex took Harry's hand and took him to a classroom, Harry put on a silencing charm.

"What is it?" asked Harry.

"Dragons"

"Come again"

"Dragons, is the first task"

"How do you know?" asked Harry.

"Hagrid, the groundskeeper took me to the forest to see them, four of them, one for each champion"

"Have you told anyone else?" asked Harry.

"No, but the headmaster of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were there so..."

"So, the only one who doesn't know is the Hogwarts champion?"

"I'm planning on telling him!" exclaimed Alex.

"Good, you do that" said Harry "Is only fair that the four of us knows exactly what to expect"

They were in silence for a while until Alex was getting ready to leave.

"Thank you" said Harry "Perhaps we can have another lunch? like the last one, if you and your family want, that is" After talking with his parents they told him if he wanted to maintain a cordial communication with them, he should start with friendly meals, he knew they were waiting for him, whenever he was ready.

Alex's eyes were glowing with excitement "Really!? Sure, we would love that, owl me whenever you want"

Harry went back to his parents, sister and Dr. Strange to tell them what Alex told him.

"I don't think you need to kill it" said Strange "perhaps only tame it"

"And that makes it right!" snapped Tony.

"Tony..." warned Pepper.

"Sorry" said Tony "you know a lot of spells and we are going to train more now"

"I'm going to be okay dad" said Harry "promise"

Harry owled Alex as he promised him and he did have another lunch with the Potters, Sirius and Remus; he had fun so they decided they would do it once a week.

Harry had the wand weighing ceremony, and everything went well.

The weekly lunch continued where Harry told them about his family, about his superhero dad, and everything they had missed over the years. And they told him stories about their family, about Hogwarts and Alex's years in school; it was nice.

On the fourth lunch with them, they asked him if it would be okay to meet his family, they wanted to thank them, and Harry told them that after the first task they all could have lunch together, as it was in some days.

Finally, the day of the first task came, the first three champions were representing their schools, and Harry was representing the Stark name, so he was wearing Red and Gold honoring the Iron man armor NOT the Gryffindor colors.

His parents, sister, Dr. Strange, the Potters, Sirius and Remus wished him good luck.

When they took their dragons, Harry could tell all of them knew what the task was. So it was okay, all of them were on the same boat.

Harry needed to pass a Hungarian horntail, the worst of the four of them. After hearing the instructions Harry knew immediately what to do. He was going to open a portal next to the golden egg, grab it and close the portal. Stephen taught him how to do portals two years ago.

"Three of our champions have their eggs!" Said Ludo "It is time for the youngest one!"

Harry heard the canon and he knew it was now his turn.

Harry stepped out of the tent, and he saw the dragon, it was amazing! But he needed to do the task, so he opened the portal, took the egg and closed it, and stepped back into the tent.

All the people were in shock, they could not believe the magic that he had done.

"What just happened!?" Yelled Ludo "our youngest champion only took him 20 seconds to take his golden egg! The dragon didn't even realize! He came out without a scratch!"

All the people started to cheer for him, they had never seen such magic. The judges (Karkarov, Madame Maxine, Dr. Strange, Dumbledore, Ludo Bagman and Barty Crouch) didn't have another option but gave him a perfect score (60 points) and now some students have a new favorite.

After the event, as promised Harry went with his family for lunch with the Potters, Sirius and Remus; Dr. Strange decided not to go, as he felt it was a more personal matter. The Potters offered his home so they would not be harassed for nobody and everyone accepted.

The ten of them were sitting at the table, they were having a nice chat until Lily felt it was time...

"We actually wanted to thank you" said Lily "we know we were no good parents for Harry, and you gave him a home and a family, so..." she couldn't continue and started to cry quietly.

"There is nothing to thanks" said Tony "Harry came into my life as a savior... quite literally" Harry laughed a little at this "but really, you have nothing to thank for"

"We do" said James "we really weren't good for him and you taught him not to hate us or resent us, and he even is giving us another chance, we know we don't deserve it and it's all thanks to you, so yeah we have a lot to thank you" he have a sad smile on his face.

The other people were in tears "thank you for accepting I have another family now" said Harry. Alex didn't want to voice it, but he felt like he was having his brother back, as friends of course, but he was finally back, after 9 years that pang in his chest was gone.
