It was finally the day. Tony, Harry, Sirius, Rhodey, and Hermione's family met up at the Leaky Cauldron—a bustling pub that marked the entrance to Diagon Alley. The place was packed, but the group managed to squeeze into a corner near the bar while they waited for everyone to gather.
Hermione's parents looked both fascinated and slightly overwhelmed by the magical atmosphere. It was second time coming here.
Rhodey, ever the protector, hovered nearby, scanning the pub like he expected trouble—though trouble usually came in the form of Tony himself.
"Alright," Tony said, checking his StarkPad for no real reason other than habit. "Everyone ready to hit the bank? I want to see those goblins in action." He brought the StarkPad to check if it would malfunction, He is making his tech able to work with magic.
Hermione laughed. "You'll see them soon enough."
Sirius leaned down to ask, "Which Weasleys are at Hogwarts this year, Harry?"
Harry grinned. "Ron, Fred, George, and Ginny. Percy too, but he's a Prefect, so he's always busy."
"Ah, the whole clan then," Sirius muttered, straightening up.
Tony adjusted his sunglasses and looked around at the packed pub. "Okay, let's move out. Hermione, lead the way."
Hermione beamed. "This way, everyone!" She led them to the brick wall behind the Leaky Cauldron, tapping the bricks quickly. The archway unfolded before them, revealing Diagon Alley in all its bustling glory—shops brimming with people, bright window displays, owls swooping overhead, and a constant hum of chatter.
Rhodey stayed close to Tony and Hermione's parents, keeping an eye on the crowd. "Man, this place is busier than Times Square," he muttered.
"Try Christmas shopping in New York," Tony replied, grinning. "At least here no one's trying to sell me knockoff Rolexes."
They wove their way through the crowd, Harry pointing out Quality Quidditch Supplies to Sirius with an excited gleam in his eyes. Sirius chuckled at Harry's enthusiasm, promising to buy him a treat later.
Finally, they reached Gringotts Bank—towering and imposing, with goblins stationed at every desk and door. Harry felt a thrill of excitement as they approached the steps, even though he'd been here before.
As they climbed the marble steps, a familiar redheaded family came into view. Molly Weasley was fussing over her children while Arthur Weasley tried to corral Fred and George, who were attempting to slip away unnoticed. Ron waved at Harry, grinning broadly.
"Harry!" Ron called, hurrying over with Ginny trailing behind him. "Hey, mate!"
"Hey, Ron! Hi, Ginny!" Harry greeted them warmly.
Sirius hung back slightly, watching the scene unfold with an amused expression. Tony, meanwhile, was taking it all in with that same curious spark he always had when confronted with something new.
Molly Weasley bustled over, her eyes lighting up when she saw Harry. "Oh, Harry, dear!" she exclaimed, pulling him into a quick, motherly hug. Then she noticed Sirius and Tony standing behind him and blinked. "Oh, my! You've brought some company, I see! It's been a while Sirius..."
Sirius smiled. "Hey Molls, same old, eh?"
"I..."
"Nah, forget it. Trust me, it's all in the past! Let's just start anew! Anyway, how's Charlie and Billy boy?"
As they talk, The kids expect Percy who talks to Rohedy with curiosity, Ginny stay close to her brother's while blushing and peeking at Harry who's close standing to Tony speaking to Hermione, Ron and the Twins.
Hermione parents were overwhelmed by Aruther who asks them the function of rubber ducks, it amused them.
"Oh yeah, Molly, meet Tony Stark" Sirius gesture at Tony who was watching everyone interact and heard his name, he looks at them. "He's Harry's guardian"
Molly's eyes widened. "Well, goodness! Arthur, come meet Harry's family!"
Arthur hearing his wife, excuse himself beaming and walks over to her, he shook hands with Sirius, He had met Sirius in private at Amelia manor, It was quick visit because of work with Amelia, He didn't really told anyone expect Molly. "Good to see you in top shape, Sirius!" Then he looks at Tony. "Pleasure to meet you! And you must be Mr. Stark"
Tony raised his eyebrows and smirked. "You could say that."
Sirius chuckled and clapped Tony on the back. "Don't worry, Arthur—he's harmless… mostly."
"Dad! We should hurry up, We need to grab the books!" It was Percy who exclaims at him as he was heading inside the bank with Hermione's parents.
"Oh right, Let's head inside shall we?"
Inside Gringotts, the group split up. Sirius guided Harry toward the teller, both of them heading off to deal with their separate accounts and vaults. Harry gave Tony a small smile and promised to meet them outside.
Tony, meanwhile, pulled out his StarkPad and called his financial manager in the UK, He finally made a contact with America's version of Wizard police. "Hey, Dennis, it's me. Just checking in—yeah, I want an update on the Stark account I opened here, plus any transactions that went through while I was stuck back home. Let's make sure no one's skimming galleons off me, okay?"
Rhodey snorted. "You know, Tony, you look like you're about to buy out the whole bank."
Tony smirked. "Don't tempt me" he may trust the goblins but he had heard their stories, So, it's better to be cautious.
Meanwhile, the Weasleys headed off to their own vault, Arthur leading the way with Molly close behind. Ron gave Harry a quick wave before disappearing down a side passage with his family. Hermione's parents, a bit wide-eyed but excited, were off to exchange their Muggle pounds for wizarding money, escorted by a helpful goblin.
After a while, everyone reconvened outside in the bright sunshine, except Sirius and Harry, who were taking a suspiciously long time. Hermione glanced around, frowning. "What's taking them so long?"
Ron shrugged. "Maybe Harry's counting his money."
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Honestly, Ron."
Tony, though, had a bad feeling. He checked his watch again just as Harry and Sirius finally emerged. Sirius looked a little troubled, his eyes darting around as if he'd seen something he didn't like. Harry, for his part, looked pale and was trying too hard to smile.
Hermione immediately asked, "Harry, are you okay?"
Ron, concerned too, added, "You look a bit off, mate."
Harry forced a smile. "I'm fine—just the cart ride. Makes me feel a bit sick sometimes."
Tony watched him with a narrowed gaze, catching the lie in Harry's eyes. He didn't push it—yet—but he made a mental note to ask both Sirius and Harry later.
Sirius clapped his hands together, rubbing them like he had a brilliant idea. "Alright, enough of the boring stuff! Let's hit the shops." He turned to the Weasleys, grinning. "Oi, you lot! I'm going to be your honorary uncle today." He grabbed Fred and George by the shoulders, ignoring their yelps of surprise. "That means you too, Ginny, Ron, and even you, Percy!"
Molly and Arthur exchanged a look, both confused and curious about Sirius's intentions.
Tony caught Sirius's grin and instantly recognized the glint in his eyes. Sirius was planning to spoil the Weasleys rotten—and Tony respected that move.
"Alright, then," Tony said, smirking. "Let's go shopping, Uncle Sirius."
The Weasley kids whooped with excitement, while Sirius ruffled Ron's hair, determined to make the most of the day. Harry, still pale but smiling for real this time, stuck close to Sirius as they walked into the bustling street—family, found or otherwise, was all that mattered now.
