Chapter 45 -

"Thank you for your help," Wong said as he, Harry and Dr Strange sat in the New York sanctum. "can we offer you something to drink or eat?" Wong offered.

"That's fine," Harry waved him off as he waved his hands and created some butterbeer for himself and then created two more so Dr Strange and Wong could have one as well. "here, drink these."

"What are they?" Dr Strange asked in a curious voice.

"Butterbeer." Harry answered.

"Really?" Wong's eyes widened slightly in surprise. "I remember the Ancient One speaking about these before, she said they were to die for," Wong paused and took a sip, the expression on his face would say that 'liking it' would be an understatement. "apparently she was right." Wong added before he drank some more.

"Butterbeer?" Dr Strange asked.

"It is a magical drink," Harry began explaining. "when you drink it will warm up your body plus it is converted from water, eventually it will turn back to water after you have drank it. So to sum up, excellent taste with the all of the physical effects of water. Try some." Harry said as he gestured to Dr Strange's butterbeer, Dr Strange raised an eyebrow but did try some, soon both of his eyebrows were raised.

"Hmm, that...that is to die for." Dr Strange eventually said.

"Everyone loves butterbeer," Harry murmured before he took a small drink of his own butterbeer. "do forgive me but shouldn't there be a third person here? Where the hell is Mordo?"

"Ah, well when you went off to talk on the phone with your..."

"Fiancée." Harry supplied.

"Ah well when you went to talk to your fiancée, Mordo decided to leave." Dr Strange admitted. "He was not very happy about the Ancient One and her use of the dark dimension's powers."

"The Ancient One did what she thought was right, I mean I understand not agreeing with it as I never fully one hundred percent agreed with it either but surely he can at least understand why she did it."

"Mordo is not quite as..." Dr Strange paused as he tried to think up the right words. "...he is not quite as flexible as the three of us."

"Let me guess, a 'see the world in black and white' type of guy?" Harry asked.

"No, or at least I do not think so, I think that is an oversimplification." Dr Strange replied.

"Mordo had looked up to the Ancient One," Wong sighed. "she has always told him and all of her students that the dark dimension if forbidden and should not be used, for Mordo to discover that she had used this forbidden magic, it has really shaken him up."

"Hmm, well hopefully he can get over it." Harry replied, he did understand to a certain degree, he had met many people who were supposedly great people only for them to disappoint him. "Alright so I have got to know, what exactly did you do?" Harry asked Dr Strange. "One moment I am getting ready to destroy a couple of dark eyed idiots and then the next thing I know is you are right behind them and they get taken away."

"I...well it is a bit complicated but long story short I manipulated time."

"Oh fuck not time travel." Harry groaned.

"You have time traveled?" Wong asked, looking very interested in hearing more.

"Yes, it is not exactly the best of experiences." Harry answered.

"I did not time travel, I manipulated time, I basically made it go in reverse." Dr Strange explained. "This is the 'Eye of Agamotto'," Dr Strange explained as he gestured to the eye shaped container. "it has power over time."

"So that's how, she controlled time," Harry said to himself event though Wong and Dr Strange heard him. "hold on," Harry's eye narrowed as a thought suddenly struck him. "is that an infinity stone inside there?" Harry asked as he pointed to the Eye of Agamotto.

"An infinity stone?" Dr Strange asked while looking confused, clearly he did not yet know what an infinity stone. Wong on the other hand simply had a smirk on his face.

"Yes," Wong nodded. "it is indeed one, you know of them?"

"I have come across them before, I know the location of two others at the moment. I still can't believe it, a bloody infinity stone!" Harry ran a hand through his hair. "Would I be incorrect if I guessed that this is the time stone?" Harry asked.

"Yes it is." Wong nodded.

"I am sorry but what are infinity stones?" Dr Strange interrupted, having reached the end of his patience, clearly not liking the fact that he did not understand what Harry and Wong were talking about.

"You may be a natural in the mystic arts but there is still plenty for you to learn." Wong replied.

"The infinity stones, they are powerful to say the least," Harry said, brining Dr Strange's attention to himself. "I have across three others so far, the 'mind stone' which has been able to do a great many things including mind related stuff, empowering individuals and it is even what powers Vision."

"The robot?" Wong asked.

"Android." Dr Strange and Harry said at the exact same time, they looked at each other with some amusement before Harry continued.

"Another infinity stone I believe was in the tesseract, that was what allowed the portal to open and bring in a bloody massive army of aliens at the battle of New York. I have also come across one other infinity stone that is called the 'reality stone'." Harry said. "I have only seem limited uses of its power but it is able to create things and as the name suggests it can mess with the very fabric of reality. Are you with me so far?" Harry asked.

"I believe so, these stones that you two are talking about, they are powerful magical objects?" Dr Strange asked.

"At the dawn of the universe, there was nothing. Then... boom. The Big Bang sent six elemental crystals, hurtling across the virgin universe." Wong said. "These Infinity Stones each control an essential aspect of existence. Space, reality, power, soul, mind and time."

"Yes, and that reminds me, we have gotten thrown off of our original question, what did you do?" Harry said to Dr Strange. "You said something about manipulating time?"

"Kaecilius and the Zealots were drawing power from the dark dimension, and they were hoping to gain immortal life from Dormammu, a very powerful being in the dark dimension." Dr Strange explained.

"Hmm, he is the Cosmic Conqueror, the Destroyer of Worlds." Wong said, his facial expression and voice reminded Harry of witches and wizards when they would speak about Voldemort, though Harry was appreciative of the fact that Wong was not stuttering or refusing to this 'Dormammu' by a stupid name like 'he-who-must-not-be-named' or 'you-know-who'. "He is a being of infinite power and endless hunger, on a quest to invade every universe and bring all worlds into his Dark Dimension."

"Including Earth." Dr Strange added, "he was the one who was giving Kaecilius and his zealots their powers, if we had stopped Kaecilius then we would still have had to deal with Dormammu, if not now then later. Maybe a week, day, month or ten years later."

"Hmm, true." Harry nodded. "From what I have heard of this Dormammu so far he does not seem like the sort of person...or thing or whatever he is...that would give up easily. If he could not achieve his goal with Kaecilius then he would probably have tried again later with someone else. Okay, so Dr Strange, I am quite interested in knowing how you on your own were able to beat this powerful 'cosmic conqueror and destroyer of worlds'? I am sensing a good story here."

"I do not know about good but an entertaining one I believe." Dr Strange replied. "I had used the Eye of Agamotto, or time stone as it is apparently called, I then put myself and Dormammu in a time loop. I...I had kept the loop going and going until..."

"Until he gave up." Harry finished. "You just out lasted a bloody destroyer or worlds!" Harry said as he gave Dr Strange a look full of respect. "I think she would be proud of you." Harry said, there was no mistaking that the 'she' that Harry was referring to was the Ancient One, and Dr Strange seemed to easily understand it as he nodded.

"I just used my mind, what I have learnt in magic and what I learnt from her."

"A deadly combination," Harry smirked. "so what happened once he gave up?"

"I made a bargain with him, he would take Kaecilius and the rest and never come back in exchange for me breaking the time loop." Dr Strange explained.

"Hmm, you think he will keep his word?" Harry asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Maybe he will, maybe he will not. All I know is that after our last meeting he will not be in any hurry to come and see me again," Dr Strange said with a small smirk. "all I can do is hope that if he does come then I will be prepared."

"Ahem." Wong coughed.

"WE will be better prepared." Dr Strange corrected.

"I suppose that is all you can hope for," Harry replied. "I wish you both the very best of luck and if you ever need me for something important then please do not hesitate to call."

"Do you have an email address?" Dr Strange asked.

"Email? Are you magical or not?" Harry asked, rolling his eyes. "Anyway unless any of you fine gentlemen have something else that I can help you with, I will be off."

"Actually, there is one more thing." Wong said before he used his sling ring and created a small portal, he reached into the portal and pulled out a small brown box. "I believe that the Ancient One had left this for you." He said in a soft voice as he handed the box to Harry.

"Thank you," Harry replied in a slightly softer voice as he took it from Wong. "Do...do you know what is in here?"

"No, I am afraid that I do not." Wong said honestly as he shook his head slightly. "I do not believe it is anything harmful if that is what you are worried about, all I know was it was left for you." Wong said.

"Alright well, thank you." Harry said eventually.

"How long did you know her?" Dr Strange asked. "If you do not mind me asking." He quickly added.

"I...um...I have rather lost count of how long I knew her, a long time to be sure, that is all I can say for sure. A long time. We met in a bar actually," Harry replied. "I wanted a drink, I was not sober by the end of it, I woke up in one of the sanctums."

"Oh?" Dr Strange looked surprised. "I am sorry...I did not know that you two were uh..."

"No, we were not." Harry cut him off, resisting the very strong urge to roll his eyes. "I woke up in a bed on my own, she offered me some help. I could not learn the magic that she could teach so she helped me another way, she was like my personal therapist at times. She was always, always, willing to listen to me and my problems. I told her if she ever needed payment then I could provide it but she refused each time, always said that helping out was enough. She may have made some questionable choices but I do not doubt that she is...was...a good person."

"I have not always seen eye to eye with her but...yes, yes she was." Dr Strange agreed, he remembered his arguments with her but they all were not what he thought about when he thought about her, he remembered all of his memories with her, the good and the bad, but the strongest memory he had was the last one he had with her, their last conversation as she was dying. He still found it hard to believe how thanks to her he went from a brilliant surgeon to a master of the mystic arts.

"Alright, I am just going to go now before tears start flying." Harry said as he stood up, Wong and Dr Strange stood up as well. "Mr Wong," Harry nodded to Wong as he shook his hand. "Mr Strange." Harry said as he shook Dr Strange's hand.

"Dr Strange." Dr Strange corrected him in an almost tired voice.

"Dr Strange," Harry amended. Dr Strange was about to let go but Harry kept a grip on his hand. "you did a lot today, not just for yourself but also for the world. The Ancient One mentioned your hands to me, if I may?" Harry asked as he let go and raised both of his hands up into the air. Dr Strange looked hesitant but eventually nodded and raised his hands in front of Harry, Harry slowly waved his hands over Dr Strange's hands several times. "How about it? Do they feel better?" Harry asked once he was done.

"Just like new." Dr Strange grinned as he wriggled his fingers before opening and closing his hands several times. "Thank you." He said in an appreciative and happy voice.

"Karma is a bitch but she has her moments of kindness," Harry shrugged. "like I said, you two call me if you need me, just do me a favour and please do not need me." Harry smirked.

"Ha," Wong laughed. "I will show you out."

"Goodbye Dr Strange." Harry said to Dr Strange who nodded in response, Harry nodded to Wong who lead Harry out.

"Hey," Was the first thing Harry heard when he entered his apartment, he saw Wanda and Natasha sitting on his sofa as they watched TV, each with a bowl of popcorn in their hands. "were you?" Natasha asked, her eyes stuck on the TV as she ate her popcorn.

"I just saved the world again." Harry shrugged.

"Oh okay, did you have fun?" Natasha asked as she put another piece of popcorn in her mouth.

"I'll be back in a sec and I will tell you both all about it." Harry said as he walked towards his bedroom.

"Hurry up," Wanda said over her shoulder. "the good bit is coming."

"But you two are still fully clothed." Harry pointed out before walked into his room and closed the door. Harry sighed before he pulled out the box that Wong gave him. He took a deep breath and opened it to reveal a silver wrist watch, Harry slowly picked it up and out of the box along with the note that came with it. Harry held the watch in his hands as he looked at the note.

I am sorry I am gone, I am sorry that I can not be there for you in the future. You have become a great friend for me and I wish you all the best and I hope that no matter what, no matter how difficult it may get, you try to live your life as best as you can. I leave to you this gift to remind you of the good times, and I hope that it will serve you well.

Harry read the note again and again, he placed it down before he looked at the watch. He turned it over to see a raven inscribed in the back, he couldn't stop himself from smiling at that. He planted a kiss on the watch before he placed it on his left wrist, Harry's clothes changed into pyjama bottoms and a T-shirt. He walked out and sat in-between Natasha and Wanda.

"So...story first or do you guys want to finish watching the movie?" Harry asked.

"Movie shush." Wanda said as she absently threw a piece of popcorn at Harry who caught it in his mouth before he used magic to make himself some popcorn, he leaned back and started watching alongside them.

A.N: Hi guys, hope you liked the chapter. Next chapter will be the start of Thor Ragnarok. I got to say that Thor Ragnarok had surprised me a lot because when I first watched it I had only seen Thor in his first Thor movie and the two Avengers movie (I had watched dark world later on), by that point we all knew that Thor was a serious character who was somewhat jokey. Thor Ragnarok was far more action packed and hilarious than I expected it to be. I was just glad that Loki worked with Thor in that movie even if it was only for part of it.

Thanks for reading, hope you liked the chapter, feel free to leave a review.
