Dumbledore was smirking at the approaching army.

Now that his most stubborn pawn was dead, all he had to do was to kill the snake, kill the abomination and be the victorious winner over the dark once and for all.  It would never bother the proper light witches and wizards ever again. It was a shame that the Potter brat couldn't fusty impregnate Ginevra with a light child for him to influence from a young age to make sure he wouldn't be raised like Harry was: spoiled and independent.

He never knew why James and Lily changed so suddenly after that halloween, not listening to a word he said, but it didn't matter as in the end, he got what he wanted and he'd put on a properly mournful mask when he told them their son was dead. He and his paw.... ahem, most trusted followers waited until the dark army was close enough. It couldn't be a proper confrontation without witnesses to confirm his glory and triumph after all

Once Tom and his despicable followers were close enough, Dumbledore opened his mouth to start a very well-rehearsed speech about how he had tried his best to keep Tom to the light, but the other wizard interrupted him. "Actually Albus, before you start on what is very likely an elaborate and melodramatic speech, there is someone else who would like to say a few words." He stated and Dumbledore could barely contain his ire.How dare he interrupt him and say someone else has more important things to say than him. He was way more important than anyone here.

Next to him, Ronald loudly shouted how no one wanted to hear what a disgusting snake had to say, much to the approval of Albus, his mother and sister. "Oh, this person isn't a snake. I believe he was in Ravenclaw, actually. It's someone who has wondered what his life would have looked like if he had listened to you, Albus and I think you might be interested in the conclusion he pulled." Tom said as he gestured behind him

A hooded figure walked forwards and took a deep breath "I'd have wasted time. I'd have seen my use. I'd have packaged and used every part of me! Would have suffered a lifetime of abuse I' have lost myself. I'd have workshipped at your feet. But here I am standing on the top of the world with some bitches to defeat." He began to sing, several people grinning as they recognised his voice, before luna gently started to nudge them towards the side

"I've played the game. I've won it all. They've screamed my name. They bought the doll." The figure continued, holding up one of the Harry Potter dolls Albus had allowed people to make while the potters were missing and the man himself widened his eyes as he finally realised who this was. "I've seized the day. Now I've got one thing left to say-ay-ay." He sang as he ripped off his outer cloak, flew up with the cloak of levitation and metal gauntlets suddenly attached themselves to his hands and let out fireworks that spelt out the next two words that he sang with the biggest grin imaginable on his face

"Fuck you! Here's my 2 minutes notice, fuck you! Time to quit and smell the roses. Say good-bye while I look you in eye and say fuck you! Fuckity, fuckity, fuckity, fuckity you! Fuck you!" Harry sang, his friends and allies trying desperately to keep their laughter in. Over the comm, the Avengers held nothing back as they rolled over the floor with laughter and even Lily and Natasha were smiling as they shook their heads. 

"I'd have taken shit. Would've been crushed under your heel. I'd have suffered for profit and suckered for fame. Made a fortune you could steal. I've had enough, I've hit the wall. I'm tired of taking your calls. It ends today. Now there's just one thing to say-ay-ay. Fuck you! I wish I'd said it sooner, fuck you! Cut you off just like a tumor! Hope you die! Kiss my ass good-bye, you cuck! Fuck you!" He sang as the rest of his suit formed around him. 

Most of the light side and especially Dumbledore's closest followers were absolutely stunned. Many couldn't believe that he was insulting the great Albus Dumbledore like this and that he was on the same side as that abomination that called himself Lord. In the meantime, the dark side was simply enjoying the show after putting up several shield spells to make sure Harry didn't get hurt. Harry then looked at Tom and gestured to his friends. Understanding what he meant, he and his followers put their shield spells over then instead to make sure they were safe from the idiots too as Harry flew over too

"Have you ever left sick and tired of doing the same shit everyday with your anger brewing? Eating shit for a goat that you're sick of obeying. If you ever felt the same let me hear ya say it!" He sang as he jumped in-between his friends who were all smiling and laughing, his voice having a slightly metallic ring to it because of his helmet and next part was sung by them all as they went to the dark side army with Harry bringing up the rear

"Did you really think I was gonna stay? Spending life bent over with your fist in my A? Slander me, say I'll never work in this town. If I stick around I'll be six more feet under the ground!" They sahg together, before Harry's friends repeated the first refrain and Harry sang a part of his own Fuck you! Here's our 2 minutes notice! Fuck you! Time to quit and smell the roses (Suck it, greedy bastard! You're a fucking ass clown!)" 

"Say good-bye. Too late to apologize! So this is it! Albus, you sad sack of shit! Fuck you!" They sang as they all flipped the other side off. Harry let out another set of fireworks that screamed the two words for everyone to see as Dumbledore started to become purple in his face in anger at realising his pawn has never listened to him, before letting Harry have the final word. Fuck you, you bitch!" He finished with the biggest laugh his friends had ever heard as he was relieved this was almost over.  Everyone on their side immediately cheered as Harry took a bow while the light side was still stunned into silence. 

Weasley was the first one to react as he let out a roar of pure and utter rage and pulled his wand. "Avada-" He began, before two beams of light hit him and blasted him back. People gasped in shock as two other robotic suits joined Harry's side: Iron Man and Rescue, Lily's new suit that James had made as well for her and Harry's protection. Thanks to Tom taking down the wards, they were free to use the suits without trouble.

"Mum? Dad? What on earth are you both doing here?" Harry immediately asked in utter surprise as he thought his parents were still back in America as they had to take care of the business in his mother's case and needed to stay behind in case the Avengers were needed in his father's. His parents both turned to him and despite the faceplates hiding their faces from everyone else, he knew they were both smiling at him.

"Did you really think we would miss this day, sweetheart? And that after Dumbledore basically wanted to lead our only son to his death after years of trying to manipulate you? I think not." Lily explained as they then slowly turned back towards the light side and Harry could practically imagine her loving smile turning into an angry and hateful glare as she and his father took two steps forward so that they were both partially blocking him from the idiots. He then asked about the others and they quietly explained they were on stand-bym in case they needed it before Dumbledore lost it. 

"Lily! James! Have you both completely lost your senses?! You chose to throw in your lot with Tom after he tried to kill you?! Did he force you into his service under threat?! Fear not as i will deal with him!" He shouted and Harry and his friends slowly backed up as they could sense the couple's anger at this. Dumbledore went to continue on, only for another repulsor blast to hit right in front of him and he jumped, finally shutting up.

"Don't be so absolutely daft, you moron! But then again, that's basically your main mindset, isn't it? You were the one to set Tom on his dark path with your compulsion potions and spells! You were the one who used us and our son as bait! You were the one to exploit our son and his fame! You tried to manipulate him time and again, so don't act like we're the bad guys in this when you are very clearly the villain in this!" Lily spat.

Behind her, the young adults let out little "oooh's" at this as they could hear that she had been waiting to say all of this to the old goat. Weasley then scoffed and asked what they were going to to about it and James simply lifted his arm sideways, a tiny rocket coming out of his suit and everyone on their side immediately covered their ears. "Two words: tank missile." He said as he launches it and a huge explosion went off. "If the centaurs get pissed, we'll blame you." Harry piped up and his parents gave him unamused looks. Some of the light then still tried to attack them, but they were prepared.

With Tom, Harry and his parents taking the lead, the dark side fought right back and most of those who hadn't already followed Harry and his friends and had secretly turned against Dumbledore in the past several years, were quickly incapacitated. Hermione didn't pay attention to her surroundings for a second and was grabbed by Weasley. "Ha! You're mine now!" He crowed, only for Hermione to suddenly go limp in his grip.

It was a trick Natasha had taught them in the past few years and it actually worked fantastic as the moment Weasley was surprised by suddenly having to hold her full weight, he was grabbed and taken away by a very pissed off Harry who threw him into the nearest wall. There was no doubt that he was dead after that and Harry stuck close to his girlfriend after that until most of the idiotic light side had been defeated. 

Weaselette had been already killed by Neville when she tried to attack Luna from behindy. Thankfully, Arthur had divorced from Molly years ago after he received an anonymous letter (James even changing his writing) about an illegal marriage contract she had tried to create between their daughter and Harry. While the man himself would be sad later that two of his children were dead, he understood that they weren't the people he thought he knew and that both his children had been trying to hurt or kill someone else and had been killed in defense of Hermione and Luna. 

Lily focused on Molly herself the moment the battle began as the woman would have helped Dumbledore make her son's life miserable and force him to marry Weaselette. She was not going to forgive that ever, so the moment the battle had begun, she had flown straight towards the vile hag and had blasted her away, landing in front of her. "How dare you ruin all of Albus's plans! You should have died that Halloween!" Molly screeched.

"Well, fortunately for me and my family and unfortunately for all of you, I survived that night, but I'll make sure you won't survive this one." Lily hissed in return as they started to fight, Lily mostly relying on her old instincts and her suit that James had attached her wand to so she could use magic with it too. With a final blast, she quickly tore the red-haired banshee to pieces and sighed in relief before flying off to join her family.

At the end, only Dumbledore remained as he held his side and glared at them all. "You just destroyed any chance for our world to be perfect. If only you had listened to me, you would have been seen as heroes, but you decided to be difficult. This isn't over. I-" The old man ranted before three repulsor blasts hit him right in the chest. If there was one thing the Stark/Potter family had learned, it was to never let a bad guy finish his speech. To make extra sure he was dead, Tom followed those blasts up with a killing curse and Dumbledore was definitely dead as a doornail.

"He's dead." Lily announced to both their allies standing there and the Avengers waiting a few miles away from the castle. Everyone cheered as Harry and his parents opened their suits, walked out and immediately shared a big family hug. Finally, after way too many years, the man who had caused so much pain and strife for them was dead and gone. They'd asked the ancient one if Dumbledore had horcruxes and she had denied it.

Speaking of the woman, she walked forwards at the same time as the Avengers, having been the one to bring them there without anyone noticing. "So, that's it then? The old bastard is actually dead?" Natasha asked and Lily quickly gave her permission to shoot him if she wasn't sure, something that she happily did. They then quickly thanked the Ancient One for her aid as she had shielded several of them during the fight.

She solemnly nodded in return as she stated how she hoped that the Wizarding World in England could finally thrive again now that Dumbledore was dead. After a bit of discussion on what to do now, it was decided to let the Potter-Stark, plus Neville, Hermione and Luna family and the Avengers went home for the rest of the month while those staying behind would keep everything under control, which would thankfully be helped with Kingsley Shacklebolt being the minister of magic and on their side. Harry had made it pretty clear that he saw America as his home.

And after the past few years, the young man thought he deserved a break. The Ancient One quickly made a portal and let everyone who wanted to go back through as they waved at those staying behind and promised to stay in contact and to be back again soon before the portal closed. The Ancient One then recalled the cloak and left to go home as well.Anyone else feel like we've seen her before?" Harry asked once she was gone

His family gave him a very confused look as Hermione asked what he meant. "I don't know. I felt like I should know her when we first met her and for some reason, I half expected her to have ice magic." He replied, before shrugging it off and hugging his parents again, who happily hugged him back. Dumbledore was gone and his actual life could begin. He couldn't wait, although he did know one thing for certain.

With his family, it certainly wouldn't be normal

Notes:

Hey guys, I was wondering if I should make a small one-shot filled series of this. No big stories, but smaller ones set in this universe. What do you think? I do already have a name if I do it: "Iron Stag"

Also, anyone catch the HISHE reference?

Read and review. See you next time
