"We did it." Steve said just a couple of days before they were to go home.
"Yep. We're coming back as second years." Sam said.
"Going to be able to practice this summer, Sam? You'll need it to make the team next year." Bucky teased.
"Aye, you all will need practice if you hope to make our team." Thor said coming up behind the group.
"Want to go get in some practice now?" Sif asked from beside Thor.
"Always. Let's ask Peggy if she wants to go too." Sam said.

"Hey Pepper, you ready to go?" Laura asked her friend.
"Yeah, where are the boys?"
"Already over there of course. They raced to see who would get the best broom."
Pepper rolled her eyes at the guy's antics before getting up to join her friend in heading to the quidditch pitch.
"Boys."
"Yeah, but at least they keep things interesting." Laura said.
….
….
"Come on Bruce, let's go. We were supposed to already be down there." Helen said.
"I'm coming, relax." Bruce said, tucking his current book under his arm.
Together the friends made their way to the quidditch pitch to met their friends for one last game before leaving for the summer.
….
….
"Apparently, everyone wanted to get some training in." Steve said when they made their way to the pitch and saw the groups already there.
"Let's see if any decent brooms are left and join them." Barnes led the way to the storage shed.

"Looks like we got company." Phil said, coming to a stop by Nick.
Maria and Melinda flew to the guy's position. They hovered there and watched the young Hufflepuffs, Gryffindors, Ravenclaws and Slytherins walk onto the field with their borrowed brooms.
"One last game?" Fury asked.
He looked around at his grinning friends.
"That's what I thought." He turned his broom to the younger kids.

Dinner was a loud affair that night, mostly from the Ravenclaws, as they had won both the Quidditch cup and house cup. Considering the Gryffindor's had won them last year, the Ravenclaws were celebrating their victory over the scarlet and gold students.
"And we have to carry on winning next year." Andrew said.
"Are you getting competitive?" Melinda asked with a smile.
"Seems like you are rubbing off on me."
"We got this." Maria said.
"Don't be so sure, Maria." Fury said, coming to sit beside her. "Slytherin might surprise you next year."
"Looking forward to it Nick."
"Hey don't count us Huffles out. We're going to be a well oiled machine." Phil said coming to stand behind them.
That's what you said about this year." Melinda reminded him.
"Yes, but next year will be Janet's last year here." Phil explained, "She may be tiny, but she's fierce."
"That she is." Nick agreed.

"So what are you going to miss the most about school?" Rhodey asked his friends.
"Food." Clint immediately responded, causing a ripple of laughter. He shrugged, "Don't get to eat like that in the circus." He said sobering everyone up.
"Well, I'll send you treats." Laura said from his side.
"Thanks, but I'll be fine." He dismissed.
"We'll I'm going to miss the freedom I had." Tony said.
"You're an only child." Jane said.
"Yes, but I have a company I'm expected to take over one day. My summer will be spent going from meeting to meeting. But just to observe, because those old farts don't want to hear the opinion of an eleven year old."
"You're Tony Stark, make them hear you." Pepper said. "Just don't blow anything up." she teased.
"That was one time." He protested.
"26." Everyone said in unison, causing them all to break down in giggles.
"Bunch of mean people, I don't know why I put up with you guys."
"Because we make your life interesting." Helen said.

"How long are you home before you start your internship?" Phil asked.
"2 weeks, then I report in at St. Mungo's." Andrew said. "Thanks again for helping me get it, Nick."
"No problem. You'll do great."
"That's the plan."
"Just don't forget to let us know how it goes." Melinda reminded him.
"That will not be an issue." He said looking at her.
"Oh, go get your own compartment you two." Maria rolled her eyes.
"Shut up." Melinda told her friend.
"What kind of things do you think you will see there?" Phil asked.
"I'm hoping everything. I'll be working in the spell damage ward so there isn't any way to know what will come up."
"You're going to learn quite a bit this summer."
"It will keep my mind off waiting for my O.W.L results."
"You did fine." Nick said.
"I guess I'll see in a couple of months."

It was madness at the platform when the train pulled to a stop. Parents and younger siblings were everywhere, waiting for their student to disembark.
It took several minutes for Steve and Bucky to find their parents.
"Mom!"
"Stevie!" she caught her son in a hug. "It is so good to have you back."
Next to them, Bucky was hugging his own parents and little sisters.
They were loading their trunks onto an empty cart, Bucky's dad brought over when Tony stopped by.
"Hello Ms. Rogers, Mr. and Mrs. Barnes. My name is Tony Stark, I go to school with your sons. I just want to let you know that I invited both your sons to visit with me this summer. Since they've already told me they probably wouldn't be able to come, I wanted to come over and tell you that the invite extends to you as well. You can send me an owl and let me know when, and I'll make all the arrangements."
The parents looked baffled for a moment, before smiling as Tony continued to talk.
"Thank you for the invitation, I don't know if we will be able to visit this summer, but we will try."
"Yes, sir." Tony glanced over at Rhodes and his parents. "I have to go, but please keep the invitation in mind. See you later guys, drop me an owl this summer."
"Such a polite young boy." Sara Rogers observed.
Bucky rolled his eyes at Steve, "Let's get out of here."
"So how was your first year at school?"
