Hi, here's the first rewritten chapter. Hope you enjoy! Please leave a review and tell me what you think.
Mr and Mrs Potter of 56 Godric's Hollow had been proud to say they were perfectly abnormal, thank you very much. And they had been very proud to be a witch and wizard, despite what Mrs Potter's sister might have thought.
Mrs Potter was what one might call a muggleborn witch, she had had no wizarding relatives. Her sister was exceedingly jealous of her ability to perform magic and was the reason the Potters would have been considered quite odd even to the magical world.
You see, when Mr Potter had first been introduced by Mrs Potter to her sister, it was over Christmas break. Mrs Potter had been using this nifty device called a time turner to take more classes at Hogwarts, where the Potters studied magic, by travelling back in time. When the sister saw Mr Potter, she flew into a rage. She had just then realized Mrs Potter would be staying in the world of magic. It was during this rage that the time turner was flung from Mrs Potter's neck and crashed into Mr Potter. Mrs Potter had then ran to Mr Potter, making sure he was alright, as the sister stormed away. It was as she stormed off that the time turner came into effect and threw the two magic folk far into the past.
Eventually, the two noticed they were not aging and deduced they would not until they had reached the moment when the time turner first broke. Being stuck in a time that was not their own did not stop them from starting a family, and so when Steven Grant Rogers (for that was the name they had taken up) was born with the looks their glamours bore, it was bittersweet. The couple knew there was a time fast approaching when they would have to leave their son behind. And until that day, they would raise young Steve with the ideals of a true Gryffindor.
When Mr and Mrs Potter left, their son was 16. They had just disappeared and were assumed dead. A few years after they left their son, Mrs Potter discovered she was pregnant yet again, this time with a daughter. As they were living in Russia under the alias of Romanov, the child was named Natalia Alianovna Romanova. Unfortunately, Natalia was left home with a sitter one night and never seen again. The Potters packed their things and left, unable to stay in a childless home where a child was meant to be.
The Potters traveled for almost 3 decades when they found they would soon have another child. Knowing that the child would not be allowed to stay with the once they rejoined the timeline, the saddened couple began looking for a suitable family. The pair found the Starks a rich and well-to-do couple who were unable to have children and it was decided by the Potters that their son would go live with the Starks once he turned to 2. And so, the day came and young Anthony Edward was gone.
A few years later, the couple rejoined the timeline and were ecstatic when only a couple years later they were expecting again. This time however, they could raise their child and see him grow into a man, and maybe even get a grandchild or two. And so, Harry James was born and a little over a year later, Jane Elizabeth and Marie Kathleen were born. Finally, Mr and Mrs Potter of 56 Godric's Hollow were happy.
Alas, their happiness was not meant to last. The Dark Lord Voldemort came for them at the end of October in the year Jane and Marie were born. With the uttering of 2 words, Mr Potter was killed and stepped over, towards Harry's nursery. It was in the young boy's nursery that the most extraordinary thing happened; after Mrs Potter was killed, the Dark Lord turned his attention to the young boy, but when he tried to kill Harry, he couldn't. No one was quite sure how this had happened but all was discovered in due time.
For all her years of being an assassin and then a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Natasha was sure that nothing stranger had happened than what had happened today.
She had begun her day in the gym, sparring with Clint and as such terrifying the newer agents. Natasha had then intended to spend the remainder of the day refreshing her memory on the weapons smuggling and mafia in Russia in preparation for her upcoming mission in said country.
However, she was interrupted by a fumbling baby agent who had said something about a letter being addressed to her. Glaring at the agent, appearances had to be maintained, she followed him towards one of the holding cells. Once there, she was greeted by some lab coat wearing agent and told that the letter had been thoroughly checked for anything malicious but nothing showed as suspicious. A bit wary, Natasha opened the letter and began to read.
Dear Natalia,
Hi, I understand this is a little strange to suddenly receive a letter from a stranger. My name is Harry Potter and I'm your brother. I only recently found out that due to an accident, I am not the only child as I believed I was. If you agree to meet with me, I will explain everything. You don't have to meet with me, I'm sure you have a family and a life that I don't wish to intrude on. However, I feel that this explanation would be better received in person. I am currently in England but I am moving to New York in a couple weeks and we could meet up then?
Also enclosed is a letter from our parents, I haven't read it but there is one for each of our siblings (6 including the two of us). Of course, you have the right to be a little suspicious of this letter so feel free to bring anyone you wish to our meeting.
Your brother,
Harry James Potter
More than a little shocked, but not letting it show, Natasha unfolded the second piece of paper.
Dearest Natalia,
If you are reading this it means we have died before we could find you. You are our second child and we loved you so much, you were only 2 when you were taken from us. We had left you with a sitter we had trusted for the night. When we returned we learned that that trust was misplaced, you and the sitter were gone. We looked for you but eventually could not stand to live in a childless place where a child should have been. We hope our little Nat and princess has grown into a woman we are sure to be proud of. We loved you with all our hearts!
Love,
James and Lily Potter aka Dad and Mum
Regardless of the suspicions that Natasha still held, she penned a quick reply to this Harry, her brother. She had long given up on the hope of having a family and knowing where she came from, why she had ended up in the horror that the Red Room had been, but these letters seemed to reawaken that hope.
After sending off the letter with some fumbling agent, Natasha set out on a search for Clint.
