Disclaimer: I own nothing, nada, not a thing. I just like pulling the strings while the real owners are not looking ^_^

A/N: Okay, so this is a re write while we are all in quarantine. This has been a tough decision, but a decision I have made none the less. So there will be changes to the original (which will stay up for those that wish to compare the two) and new things will be added to take it in the direction that I wanted it to go in half way through writhing the first time. I will also post a full timeline at the end of each chapter, so we all know what is going on and when. I have also pulled the timeline forward. Oh, the title has also changed and the ages of certain characters. Sorry (not sorry)

Harriet Coulson: The Beginning

Prologue

September 1st, 2013

It was a mild evening, with clear skies the waning moon shone above highlighting the grey castle walls and the lit halls inside. First year students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry stared in awe at the ceiling that reflected the night sky outside.

The one thing the enchanted ceiling did not show was the Quinjet that had just landed in the open space by the large black lake beside the castle.

"I wonder if they have central heating?"

A dark-haired woman with green eyes turned to face the one who had spoken with an eyebrow raised, "What?"

"Do they have central heating?" A man with brown hair and eyes shrugged his shoulders before scratching at his goatee "It's a valid question. This is a castle, and you would expect it to be cold in the winter months, so inquiring minds would like to know if they have central heating?"

"Tony."

"Yes, Gopher."

The woman shook her head before grabbing her pack and exiting the aircraft, "They are Magic users, they have heating charms."

There was a chuckle as another man with mousey brown hair stepped out beside the woman, leaving Tony behind, "C'mon Sparky, let's get the introductions over with so we can start our mission." He ruffled the woman's hair as he passed causing her to scowl.

"Can you stop with that name? It was one time."

Tony hopped out and grabbed a metal suitcase before pressing a button to get the Quinjet's hatch to close, "Yeah, but you were lit like a Christmas tree for a month."

"It was a week Tony, and how was I supposed to know that mixing enchanted fairy lights with your stupid sweater would create a magical backlash that made my skin change colours every time I was touched by something?" The question was rhetorical as the woman followed her two friends inside.

"Still earned you the name Sparky. Or should we change it to Twinkle?" Tony nudged his fellow male who just grinned before turning his head to look at the fuming woman behind them.

"C'mon Harriet, you have to admit it was funny?"

Harriet rolled her eyes and grinned, "It was, but next time Clint you can be the Christmas tree."

They had reached the main doors, that started to open as they made their way up the stairs. Tony raised an eyebrow at the lack of security, it seemed anyone could waltz into a school full of children with no problems.

"The Wards brushed against my Magic before we landed. She knows we have no malicious intentions towards the charges in her care." Harriet spoke before Tony could voice the question and so he maturely stuck his tongue out at his Gopher. They all came to a stop outside a pair of large oak doors with intricate carvings of lions, badgers, ravens and snakes.

"Do we knock?" Clint asked quietly as the chatter from behind the doors filled the empty air around them for a few minutes.

"No." Harriet spoke softly as she raised a hand to touch one of the carved lions, "I'd read about this place in her journals, but it doesn't quite compare to being here."

Tony and Clint shared a look as they watched their friend get a faraway look in her eyes, "I'm sure they would be proud to know that you've seen this place at least once."

"Yeah," Harriet grinned slightly before flicking her wrist, a thin stick about 12 inches long shot into her hand and with a swipe she sent both doors booming open.

Harriet Potter had arrived at Hogwarts.

A/N: So, a pretty big change up. In the original I had the whole team there with Loki and it made no sense. I think someone even said in a review 'Why is a secret organisation such as S.H.I.E.L.D. showing themselves off to a magical school who represent a society that views normal humans as inferior…?' They were anonymous but had a point. So, this got changed. Also, first time around a lot of you guys really like the interactions between Harriet and Tony or Harriet and Clint so you are welcome.
