whitecollarblackwolf – Thanks.

JJFicFreak – Of course I would! … And no, not yet.

Rori Potter – Thank you Rori! Hope to do that this week.

ClaireR89 – (Ch.1) I like it that way. (Ch.2) Sorry. (Ch.6) Who says?

PM1 – Great story! You have a Harry/Thor pairing story and now a Harry/Steve Rogers pairing story! Love it so many possibilities! Are you gonna write other stories like this with Harry and other Avengers pairings? Have you thought of writing a Harry/T'Challa story?! … Thank you. Yes. & Yes, it's in the works, don't know when it will be up though. But sometime this year most definitely. I'm excited about that.

PM2 – Can you write a HP/Arrow crossover story, with a Harry/Oliver Queen pairing? … I can, I am capable, but I haven't been that into The Arrow at the moment, I know it's a great show and I think from what friends have told me, it's on it's way to a season 6 and it's very popular. But no. Not now, and not in the near future. Sorry.

PM3 – Are you gonna make a HP/Justice League story? … No plans for that. Sorry.

Serious before we continue…And I'm posting this on some others stories so don't be surprised if you see this again, but I must. I want to say right now that we are all here to have fun, learn, connect, spread the message of tolerance and the message that love is UNIVERSAL and it comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, genders, races, ages and forms. It's a fact that won't change no matter how much you bark the contrary. I will NOT answer nor comment any review that is homophobic or degrading of the LGBT community, or insulting my work for supporting the community. Those apathetic, hateful and vile reviews are from out dated, close minded people and really, they are not worth my time and energy. If you don't like it, why are you here? … So RESPECT!

***On a lighter note, for those of us still here, we are moving on. Hello! Happy Easter one and all! Thank you all for your amazing reviews and questions. **Stay tuned for the AN at the end of this chapter for some news.** Enjoy this chapter, it's looooooong.****

#13 SUNSPEAR PLACE – LONDON – The next day Steve woke up to an empty bed, he looked around at the empty room. "Harry?" he called…Nothing…He looked at the clock, 1:30pm. "Shit, it's late…" he yawned, getting up and heading into the bathroom for a hot shower. He dressed in blue jeans, a white turtleneck sweater and brown leather shoes and headed downstairs.

PARLOR – #13 SUNSPEAR PLACE – Steve sat down at the table by the window when Pip popped in. "Good day Master Rogers."

"Good day Pip." said Steve.

"Master Rogers sir, would you like anything to eat?" asked Pip.

"A sandwich, oatmeal with sugar and cinnamon, and some coffee please." said Steve.

"Yes Master Rogers sir." said Pip popping out of the room.

Steve looked around the elegant room, it was so perfectly cleaned and decorated, it was amazing. He could get used to living in that house with Harry. Though they hadn't had sex, and how they both wanted to he could feel it, they were sleeping in the same bed and it felt perfect. He was madly in love with Harry and he would marry Harry immediately if he could. He was broken out of his happy home fantasy by the green flames of the floo, Harry stepped out of the fireplace with Draco.

"Hey." greeted Steve.
"Well good afternoon to you." said Harry, leaning down and kissing Steve on the lips.

Steve kissed him back. He could kiss Steve for hours on end, and the feeling was mutual for Steve. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yes.' said Steve. His breakfast popped in on the table in front of him.

"Bon Apétit." said Draco. "Pip." He called. Pip popped in. "Could we please have some tea and treats please." Pip nodded and popped out.

"Where were you guys?" asked Steve. "I woke up and you weren't here."

"Ministry meeting." said Harry. Siting down across from him on the small table.

"A five hour ministry meeting." added Draco. A sandwich trey and tea seat popped on the coffee table on the couch. He began pouring his tea. "Harry?"

"Yeah, I'll have some, thanks." said Harry. He turned back to Steve. "We told them of our situation. They agreed to help by giving us liberties to use our powers in the open, they gave us these bracelets…" He showed Steve the bracelet on his right wrist, simple silver with opal stones. "…they will hide our magic from muggle eyes." Steve nodded. "We also mentioned your request of bringing in some soldiers for this mission and that we had to tell them what were are."

"I take it they said no to that." said Steve.

"Yes." said Draco. He gave Harry his cup of tea. "But after three hours we managed to convince them. But they had conditions."

"What kind of conditions?" asked Steve.

"This." said Draco, taking a tall vial of clear liquid from the inside pocket of his jacket.

"What is it?" asked Steve.

"A binding potion." said Draco. "We have to administer this to the muggle soldiers you chose before we reveal what we are and the mission begins."

"What does it do?" asked Steve.

"It will bind them from speaking or writing to anyone, outside our circle of what they see when working with wizards. After the mission is over it will make them forget they ever saw anything magical at all."

"So brainwashing." said Steve.

"I'm afraid so." said Harry. "If it is unbearably strict for us to work with muggles in the present, it's impossible in this time and year of our history. We were lucky they allowed this." He looked at Steve's face, he knew Steve didn't like it. "I'm sorry Steve, we tried, but it's a non negotiable condition."

"I know." said Steve. "And I appreciate the effort. It is what it is."

"So how do we do this?" asked Harry.

"We can invite the guys out for drinks tonight." said Steve. "There's a pub we can go to and slip it in their drinks."

"Then, how about you finish your breakfast and give them a call afterwards." said Harry. "We will call Caleb and Bucky to join us there."

WHIP & FIDDLE PUB – LONDON – Steve and Draco dressed for a night on the town. Both in their captain uniforms, since they were meeting with other soldiers to talk business. Steve called them and they showed up on time, it was a small group of five: Dum Dum Dugan, Gabe Jones, Jim Morita, James Montgomery Falsworth and Jacques Dernier.

"Drinks mates!" cheered Draco as he gave all the five muggle soldiers their tall glasses of beer, giving Steve a sharp nod confirming that he slipped the potion into the drinks.

"Good man, Captain Malfoy." said Dugan, taking a sip.

Gabe Jones took a large drink before getting back to the conversation. "So lets get this straight."

"We barely got our of there alive, and you want us to go back?" asked Dugan.

"Pretty much." said Steve.

"Sounds rather fun actually." said Flasworth, drinking his beer.

Morita burped after drinking half the beer down. "I'm in."

"Moi Aussi (Me too)." said Dernier, saluting and sipping gulps of beer.

"Hell, I'll always fight guys." said Dugan. "But you gotta do one thing for me." He drank another sip of beer.

"What's that?" asked Harry.

"Open a tab." said Dugan.

Steve and Draco smiled. "Done." They shook the soldiers hands. "We will talk after News Years. Enjoy the holidays." With happy nods from the table, all three went over to the bar. "Another round." said Steve. "Table 5."

"Where are they putting all this stuff?" asked the bartender.

"Who knows." said Draco.

Steve signaled the table that drinks were coming the five guys saluted with their beers. As the piano started Steve led Draco to another, more quiet, side of the pub to Table 15, where Bucky was sitting.

"I told you." said Bucky. "They're all nuts."

Steve and Draco sat down with him. "How about you?" asked Steve. "You ready to follow Captain America into the jaws of death?"

"Hell no." said Bucky. "That little guy from Brooklyn who was too dumb not to run away from a fight. I'm following him." Steve smiled. "But you're keeping the outfit, right?"

Steve smiled at him, and turned to look at the poster of Captain America hanging on the wall. "You know what. It's kind of growing on me."

Harry walked in wearing an elegant black and gold uniform. As he walked to Table 15, he left many women and men quiet. Draco Steve and Bucky got up to greet him. "Gentlemen."

"Captain Potter." greeted Steve.

"Sorry I'm late, but I got a note that Howard Stark has some equipment for you to try." said Harry.

"New equipment?" asked Draco. "Like what?"

"I don't know." said Harry. "The note only said, tomorrow morning in his facility just outside of London. I guess he wants it tested before Christmas. So Tomorrow morning?"

"Sounds good." said Steve.

Harry turned to look at the piano and Steve took the moment to check him out. Steve felt his blood going warm at the sight of Harry in such an elegant uniform. The wizard radiated confidence and power. "I see your top squad is prepping for the holiday festivities."

"You don't like this music?" asked Steve.

"I do, actually." said Harry. "I might even, when all this is over, go dancing."

"But we are free now." smiled Bucky. "What are we waiting for?"

"The right partner." said Harry, looking at Steve dead in the eyes.

"0800 Captain." said Harry. "Drinks?"

"Martini Potter." said Draco. Harry gave him a nod and headed to the bar.

"I…I'm invisible." said Bucky. "Sorry for flirting with your man Steve, but I just wanted to test me out…And as I feared, it didn't work. I'm…I'm turning into you. It's like a horrible dream." Steve patted him on the shoulder and headed for the bar.

"Testing the waters to see if it would work with me?" asked Caleb sitting down next to Bucky.

"I… well…given how Steve looks…" rambled Bucky. Caleb wore a red turtleneck sweater under a black crocodile leather jacket and black pants and shoes.

"You don't need to test anything." said Caleb. He moved his hand under the table and slipped it up Buckys inner thigh. "You've got me in the bag love."

Bucky gasped and bit down on his lower lip to hold back a moan. "Fuck…" he whimpered.

Caleb then removed his hand. "Want some Coca Cola?"

Bucky nodded. "Make sure it's cold!" He sighed. "I need it really cold…" Caleb nodded and headed for the bar. He looked at Draco, who was grinning.

"Terrible isn't he." said Draco.

"Yeah." said Bucky. "And I love it."

"He's a Slytherin." said Draco. "Expect the unexpected."

"Then bring it on!" said Bucky. Harry Steve and Caleb returned with drink and he and Draco clinked glasses.

STARK FACILITY – OUTSIDE OF LONDON – Steve, in his sharp captain uniform, walked though the Stark Facility looking for Stark. He spotted Private, sitting at a desk reading The London Times. "Excuse me. I'm looking for Mr. Stark."

"He's in with Colonel Phillips." said the Private. As Steve looked at the clock on the wall, 8:06, he recognized the supersoldier. "Of course, you are welcome to wait." Steve nodded and took a seat next to a desk. "I read about what you did." he said showing Steve the front page of the newspaper.

"Oh that, well, yeah." said Steve. "What's your name Private?"

"Edward Cullen." said the Private. He winked his liquid gold eyes at Steve.

"Well Private Cullen." said Steve. "That's just. Just doing what needed to be done."

"Sounded like more than that." said the Private. "You saved nearly 500 men."

Steve noticed the privates cocky grin. "Really, it's not a big deal."

The Private got up and walked over. "Tell that to their wives, their children, their loved ones waiting back home."

Steve began to get nervous, he recognized a seduction move when he saw one. He folden his arms across his chest. "I don't think they were all married."

"You're a hero." said the Private.

"That depends on the definition of what you consider a…" started Steve.

Private Cullen grabbed on to Steve's tie. "The American people, they owe you their thanks. And seeing as they're not here…" He pulled Steve up, by the tie, pulled him into one of the book shelf aisles and began to kiss Steve senseless.

"Mmmm…" moaned Steve, the guy knew how to kiss, it was like he had decades upond decades of experience. Not to mention the guy was very handsome, he never saw anyone with liquid gold eyes and such marble white skin.

"Captain!"

Steve turned around to see Harry, in his uniform standing there glaring at him. 'Shit!' he thought, composing himself.

"We are ready for you." said Harry. "If you're not otherwise occupied." He looked at Private Cullen. "Private, as you were." The Private quickly nodded and rushed away. He started to walk down a hallway and Steve followed.

"Captain Potter wait." said Steve.

"Looks like finding a partner was not so hard after all." said Harry.

"Harry, that's not what you thought it was." said Steve. He said arranging his tie.

"I don't think anything, Captain, not a thing." said Harry. "You always wanted to be a soldier, and now you are, just like all the rest."

"Well what about you?" asked Captain. "How do I know you haven't been, as Stark said to Agent Carter, fonduing?"

Harry stopped and looked at him. "You still don't know a bloody thing about relationships." He turned and walked away. Steve followed.

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT, LOWER LEVEL OF STARK FACILITY – OUTSIDE OF LONDON – Howard Stark led Steve into the Restricted subterranean Military Construction Department. "Fondue is just cheese and bread, my friend." said Stark.

"Really?" asked Steve. "I didn't think…"

"Nor should you pal." said Stark. "The moment you think you know what's going on in a woman's head is the moment your goose is well and truly cooked. Me, I concentrate on work, which at the moment is about making sure you and your men do not get killed." They walked up to a table, Caleb and Draco were examining the items on it. "Carbon polymer." He started to explain. "Should withstand your average German bayonet. Although HYDRA is not gonna attack you with a pocket knife." They walked down the table. "I hear you're kind of attacked to this?" he patted the shield Steve had used up to that point.

"It's handier than you might think." said Steve. Draco Bucky and Caleb walked over.

"I took the liberty of coming up with some options." said Stark. He showed them the shield options. "This one is fun, she's being fitted with electrical relays that you will allow you to…"

Steve noticed a circular silver like metal shield under the table. "What about this?"

"No, no." said Stark. "That's a prototype."

Steve brought up the shield. They all looked at it. "What's it made of?" asked Bucky.

"Vibranium, Captain Malfoy." said Stark. "It's stronger than steel and a third of the weight." Steve tried it on for size. "It's completely vibration absorbent."

"How come it's not standard issue?" asked Bucky.

"That's the rarest metal on Earth, Sargent Barnes." said Stark. "What you are holding there, that's all we've got."

"Are you quite finished, Mr. Stark?" asked Harry, walking over. "I'm sure the Captain has some unfinished business."

Steve turned to Harry. "What do you think?"

Harry grabbed a gun and fired, BAM BAM BAM BAM at the shield. Everyone ducked, Steve took shelter behind the shield as the bullets fell to the floor, broken in half.

"Yes. I think it works." He put the gun down, and walked silently by Steve and out of the room. Everyone watched him leave.

"What the hell what that about?" asked Draco.

"No idea…" said Caleb.

"Steve?" asked Bucky.

"You don't want to know." said Steve.

Steve and Stark stared at Harrys exit. "I…I had some ideas about the uniform." Said Steve, giving Star a piece of paper.

"Wh…Whatever your want pal." said Stark.

NEW YEARS EVE BALL – MINISTRY OF MAGIC – LONDON – Steve, Harry, Draco, Bucky and Caleb flooed into the Ministry of Magic on December 31 for the New Years Eve Ball. All four were dressed in elegant formal dress robes. The entire central hall of the Ministry was set with tables with silver and gold goblets, plates and cutlery. One of the fountains was temporarily removed so the space would serve as a dance floor. The ceiling was bewitched to look like the snow falling night outside. "Wow." said Steve.

"You ok?" asked Draco.

"Yeah." said Steve. He looked at Harry.

Draco noticed. "Is he still angry?"

"He's gotten better." said Steve.

"Ask him to dance." said Bucky.

"What?" asked Steve. "In his mood?"

"Exactly." said Caleb. "Show him he has nothing to worry about. That he's the one you want to be with, he's the one you want to dance with. Show it and say it."

AS the orchestra began to play, Steve took a deep breath and walked over. "You want to dance?"

Harry looked at him. "Are you sure you don't want to patrol the entire Ministry for potential candidates? I mean there is easily 250 attractive wizards here to pick fr…"

"I want you." said Steve, interrupting. Harry looked at him. "I don't want anyone else." He offered his hand. "Please."

Harry took a deep breath and accepted, letting Steve lead him across the main hall and onto the dance floor. He also let Steve lead in the dance. After 2 minutes of silence Steve decided to break the ice. "Harry, please. I'm sorry. You know I'm not used to people flirting with me or falling over themselves to get to me or seducing me into a corner to eat out my mouth. I'm not used to it, I mean, growing up next to Bucky I was invisible and suddenly now, like this…I and I… I cant' deny that it's something that I've always wished for and wanted to experience. To have a little bit of that attention, for people to want me and see me as they see him. But… "He sighed. "I have no idea what I'm doing, or any idea of how to act around people like that or how to reject them without insulting them or…"
"I get it." said Harry, finding Steves endless and surprisingly understandable ramblings charming and adorable. "I'm sorry too."

"I forget that you're new to all this and I can't deny when I saw you kissing the Cullen guy I got jealous." said Harry.

"Jealous?" asked Steve. "You?"

"Yes." said Harry. "Even the Savior of the Wizarding World can get jealous. Even of a vampire."

Steve's eyes widened. "A wh…" Harry nodded. "You mean Private Cullen is a…?"

Harry nodded. "Yes. He's a vampire." He sighed. "Even with his compulsion and seduction charm, vampire powers…" Steve nodded understanding. "…he didn't need it. He could but I have to admit the guy was attractive enough to lure people in without using his powers at all."

"But…but how do you know he is a vampire?" asked Steve.

"The marble white pale skin and the golden eyes." Said Harry. "Both clear signs."

"But I thought vampires had blood red eyes. Don't they?" asked Steve.

"The majority do." said Harry. "Those are the ones who drink human blood. Vampires like Private Cullen, they're eyes are gold because they drink animal blood."

"Wow." said Steve. He looked at Harry. "So, you forgive me?"

Harry grinned. "Yes."

Steve gasped when Harry twirled and dipped him, before leaning down pulling him in for a kiss. "Mmm!" he moaned, he wrapping his arms around Harrys neck when he felt Harrys arms around his waist. They broke the kiss when he finally stood up straight again. "Thank you."

"For forgiving you, or for the kiss?" asked Harry.

"Both." said Steve.

The orchestra stopped and everyone clapped, they sat down for dinner. The buffet ranged from turkey, quail, beef to a variety of seafood. The foursome ate several plates and chatted before the Minister invited them all back to the dance floor.

Bucky looked around. "Where is Caleb?"

Everyone looked around. "I don't know he was just…"

"Excuse me." said Caleb, everyone saw he was up on stage. "I know we are all soon to return to the dance floor, but…" HArry Draco Steve and Bucky got up and walked over near the stage. "…I'd like to take a moment to dedicate this next song to a very special man who I recently met. A man who holds a special place in my heart, someone that I…" Everyone in the hall was quiet. "Someone that I love." He said looked directly at Bucky. Everyone clapped and clinked their glasses as the orchestra began to play the romantic melody.

"Love soft as an easy chair.

Love fresh as the morning air.

One love that is shared by two,

I have found with you."

Everyone gawked at the elegant handsome Caleb on stage in the elegant black wizard robes. Everyone was enchanted by his powerful yet soft and seductive.

"Like a rose under the April snow,

I was always certain love would grow.

Love ageless and evergreen

Seldom seen by two."

Caleb's mezzo soprano voice had meticulous control and balance that can be heard in every note.

"You and I will make each night a first

Every day a beginning

Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed

They warm and excite us, cause we have the brightest love."

No one was more in awe more than Bucky who stood in motionless with his eyes glued to the stage, memorizing each lyric and note and each millimeter of Calebs voice into his memory.

"Two lives that shine as one

Morning glory and midnight sun

Time we've learned to sail above

Time wont change the meaning of one love

Ageless and ever…Evergreen."

The last word and note he kept for over 2 minutes and at the end, the orchestra stopped and the entire hall cheered. Caleb smiled to the crowd, bowed not noticing Bucky running up the steps and across the stage to him. "Bucky… I…" he started but stopped when Bucky wrapped him up in his arms and dived in for a passionate kiss, to which he immediately responded to. The move caused the cheering crowed to erupt in a thunderous applause.

When they separated Bucky looked at Caleb, with tears of joy in his eyes. "I love you too!" he cried.

Caleb smiled. "Really?!"

Bucky nodded, crying with joy. He kissed Caleb all over the wizards face. "More than you can imagine."

"You wanna be my boyfriend Sargent James Barnes?" asked Caleb.

"More than anything in the world." smiled Bucky. "Yes." He smiled. "And when we finish with HYDRA, I'm coming back with you to your present time."

Caleb smiled. "Really?!"

"I'm not leaving you alone." Bucky promised. "Never." He hugged Caleb and lifted him off the ground and spun him around in circles.

They returned to their table and Harry Steve and Draco clapped and greeted them with tall glasses of champagne. "Nicely done Potter!" saluted Draco.

"You have powerful vocals." said Steve.

"Brilliant!" cheered Harry.

Their table was suddenly covered in amazing cakes and ice creams and desserts. Bucky Caleb and Draco began to fill their plates. "Steve." said Harry. "I have something for you."

"For me?" asked Steve.

"Yes." said Harry. "I'm sorry I didn't have this before Christmas, but it was only a few days ago that I was able to get it." He gave Steve a glossy black velvet box. "This is for you."

Steve opened the box and gasped. Inside was a pocketwatch and chain made of pure 24 carat gold. The lid of the watch had a pegacorn (Pegasus unicorn hybrid) in flight made of mother of pearl, with emeralds for eyes, a diamond encrusted horn, smaller diamonds were placed to adorn the wings that reached around the edge of the watch, around the crown and on the latch. The face of the watch was very elegant, the dials, sub dials, hands and roman numeral numbers, all in gold over an onyx background. The watch was clearly worth a fortune. He saw the engraving inside and read it. "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all.' Alexandra Potter." He looked at Harry.

"Alexandra Potter is my great ant. She was born and raised in America after her father, Nicolas, was hire to transferred to work for MACUSA." Said Harry. "I had it engraved int eh back."

Steve turned the watch around, to look at the back. "S. G. R., and under the initials, Dec. 25 1943." He read, his eyes watered, it was such a priceless gift. "Harry I…I don't know what to say."

"Keep it close to your heart." said Harry. "The protection charms I casted on it will keep you safe."

Steve was about to say something when everyone started counting down. "10!" yelled the crowd.

"It's almost time!' smiled Draco.

"9!" yelled the crowd.

"Here you go guys." Said Bucky, filling Harry and Steves champagne glasses.

"8!" yelled the crowd.

"Get ready!" cheered Draco.

"7!" yelled the crowd. "6!"

"I don't know what is coming up in the coming year." said Harry, putting his arms around Steves neck. "But I'm optimistic we can face it head on."

"5!" yelled the crowd. "4!" yelled the crowd. "3!"

"As long as we face it together." said Steve.

"2!" yelled the crowd. "1!"

"Together!" smiled Harry.

"Happy New Year!" yelled the crowd. Harry kissed Steve deep long and hard as fireworks and lights lit up the Ministry welcoming 1944.

*** Wow.. This is one of the longest chapters I've ever written and one of my favorites. Wow, Harry really got jealous! I was sooo surprised that Edward Cullen make a small, cameo, appearance in Stark's London Facility. Lvoed how he tried to get into Steve's pants, but that Harry put an end to it. Of course, if anyone is getting into Steves pants it's Harry. I loved the Ministry Ball, the sinign and Harrys present to Steve! So romantic! UPDATE – I'm telling you now that we are almost reaching the end of this first installment of the HP/Steve Rogers series. Just 2, maybe 3, chapters left. But we will continue this series, like the HP/Thor stories, with Avengers I, followed by Captain America II The Winter Soldier. I'm already excited for HP and Steve to reunite in the present day!***
