Two days before Harry's graduation

Lady Dorea Potter had finally woken up for breakfast. Her darling husband Charlus was too getting up. He was doing his stretches making sure he was still alive.
When Dorea and Charlus entered the dining room they saw a letter at Dorea's place. Dorea read it aloud to Charlus.
Dear Grandmother Dorea and Grandfather Charlus,
James and I had gotten in late last night and had to stay the night at the Weasley home. We brought our co workers with us.
I tell you this because this was an unplanned trip for most of us. James and I were planning to come here closer to Wednesday.
After I buy a suit for Wednesday and pick it up, I will come and see you. It's been hard for me and seeing you two will fell better.
Love you both,
Your adopted grandson
Scott Summers
Dorea put down the letter and looked to Charlus. They knew what was happening. They could feel it in their bones.
Scott has a girlfriend that he did not tell them about. Charlus cheered. Dorea just smiled.
"It looks like we are having a couple of visitors." Dorea said
"Don't go overboard dory. We don't want to scare Scott's girlfriend off." Charlus said
Charlus went to the daily prophet. The wizarding news paper.

Soon Rogue had woken up to the smell of Scott and Logan cooking a full English breakfast. Well Scott was mostly the one who was cooking. Logan mostly handled the cooking fire when needed and the table set up.
When he finished the table up, he started to read that mornings daily prophet. Scott was wearing his X Gene suppressants. It was the first time in weeks that he had worn them. Scott couldn't wear them lately because he had been in fight after fight with hydra and the like.
"What cha cooken good looken?" The southern belle asked as she walked in from the room she had shared with Kitty, like always.
Rogues Louisiana drawl was coming out thick this morning like it did every morning before.
"Full English breakfast." Scott said with a smile
Rogue had meant what she said as a joke not knowing Scott's full talents. The two had kissed good morning.
"You can cook?" Rogue asked
She meant what she asked earlier as a joke seeing as she had never seen her boyfriend make anything other than coffee and toast. And the pop tart.
"Yeah I can. My nanny growing up taught me how too." Scott said
Well, what Scott had said was a half truth half lie. He had a part time nanny elf he shared with Harry when Remus, Sirius or Harry's grandparents couldn't watch them that day. And the nanny elf taught the two boys how to cook and bake things to give them something to do. Especially when the two were in primary school and there was a bake sale.
Rogue sighed. When Scott turned to his girlfriend he saw that there was a look in Rogues eye. It wasn't there very often. It was like when she started to date Scott a couple of years ago. See when Rouge started to date Scott, she was afraid to touch him. But Scott gave her his X Gene suppressant bracelets so they could touch each other without getting hurt.
When Scott told Harry this, Harry was set to make Scott another set so he could act normal too.
"Can you tell me about you god sister Dora?" Rogue asked, "I want to know more about her."
Scott smiles and proceeds to tell Rogue about Dora. On how she's been married to Remus for just over a year and a half. On how they have a son named Teddy who is almost a year old.
Scott told Rogue that Teddy is Harry's godson. Rogue thought Teddy was cute when she was shown a picture of him.
Scott had also said that Dora was born about a year and a half after her parents graduated school, making her 11 1/2, 12 years younger than Remus. And that is why Andy and Ted had gotten married.
And because of that, Andy still had a good relationship with her parents and sisters. That Andy and Dora knew Draco when he was born.
Soon everyone else came out of their rooms in a groggy manner. Well, Hank wasn't here. He had run off to the Lovegood home right before lights out last night.
The ones here all wanted to go out exploring today. Scott was gonna go to London to do a little suit shopping for the graduation ceremony on Wednesday. When Logan had heard this, he said that he would do a little "monkey suit" shopping for the ceremony too. Scott remembered that "monkey suit" was an inside joke between Logan, Remus and Sirius.
That the three started to call the suits that when Lily shown the three a cartoon that Scott used to watch with a monkey wearing a suit to a humans wedding. Sirius had exclaimed with pride that day that he wanted a monkey wearing a suit at his non existent wedding that day. A little Scott had said in his cute toddler voice that Sirius was a crazy person.
Sirius did not get the monkey that he wanted because he had eloped with his sweetheart Marlene. The last of the McKinnon family to stay alive in the war. Marlene had inherited everything making her as rich as her husband. Maybe a little less seeing as the Black family was much older than hers.
Jean looked to Scott and Logan. Before this trip Jean's parent had told her that she was adopted. And her real parents were named James and Lily Potter.
Jean went around Logan, not knowing he was James and Scott knowing who his mother was, and Jean went to Potter manor. Dorea, Charlus, Remus and Sirius explained the wizard world to her. They said that she was born a squib. Not bearing the heart break, Jean's father James took her to a cousins house. Thinking Jean had no powers and was safer.
Jean understood that. It took awhile to say something to Scott when Jean came back. Harry and the other team members were not in the know about Jean's parentage.

Walking down the cobble street of Diagon Alley made Scott feel like he was at home once again. The smells, noises, sights and shops had returned to the alley when Voldemort was vanquished and the death eaters that ran away were rounded up.
It also became crowded once again. People did not leave their homes in fear anymore.
For weeks people would not stop celebrating. And during that time Scott couldn't walk down any wizard streets without being stopped and thanked. By the third day Scott had runaway to get some peace.
He had ran back to New York, to Xavier's. Xavier's school had been the only place where wizard Britain couldn't find him. As they didn't like the muggle world all that much. Especially in America. Britain didn't like Americans because their magical community embraced the muggle world.
But there wasn't much places in America to be only wizard. America was highly populated and with not much space. Unless they used the Death Valley. The Desert on the west coast. And maybe they did. Scott wasn't good at muggle or wizard geography.
Scott soon came across Madame Malkin's. The place where so many Hogwarts students had purchased their school uniforms. But Madame Malkin's also sold clothing for every other occasion. Even clothes that were extremely muggle. Something Scott would wear.
Scott walked into the shop. He really needed formal wear for Wednesday. Scott still remembered his own graduation day. Sirius, Marlene, Remus, Andromeda, Harry, Dora and Ted were all there. They all had shown up all dressed up fancy.
Something that they didn't do very often. As the group preferred to stay home and do nothing. They loved movie nights at the Tonks house. That house was the only magical one with muggle electronics.
Ted, being a muggle born, went back to his roots and got a good paying job in the muggle world. Something that both pleased Andromeda's parents and made them want to throw up. It also made Andromeda's parents happy that Ted was an only child of a wealthy couple.
Dora's older brother Crux loved learning things from everyone. Andromeda with the help of her parents, taught Crux how to be a gentleman.
Crux had fallen in love with a nice pureblood girl. Which pleased everyone. The girl Crux married absolutely loved learning about new cultures. Including the muggle one.
"Hello Scott." Madame Malkin said with a smile
"Hello Madame. I need a new muggle suit." Scott stated
Madame Malkin understood this and brought Scott up to the platform. Well the correct term was drug up onto the platform. Madame Malkin was surprisingly strong for her small body frame.
Madame Malkin had to do new measurements on Scott as he had grown up in body mass some since the need for uniforms. And Scott had known this. He couldn't wear his shirts from three years ago.
They had all fit like a big breasted girl in a hooters shirt. A couple of them had to be cut off by Logan because they did not want to come off of Scott's body.
The height wasn't the only issue on the eldest Evans boy though. Scott had gained some muscles while his time away from England. Especially when he was training with his stepfather.
And Logan had convinced Scott to do the same diet as him and exercise plan as him. And by the end of the first year, Scott had grown some muscles.
And by then Scott had found out that Harry had been doing the same plan for years. Since even before his first year.
That's why Harry had gotten the trunk with an apartment like he did. Harry loved that trunk. It even had a private floo. That's how Scott got his suppressant bracelets.
There were times where Scott and Harry would sleep in it to have a sleep over. Scott remembered the summer where Potter manor was being renovated and Scott, Dora and Harry all slept in the trunk.
(By this time Crux had moved out.)
Andromeda was so happy by the first night when all three kids slept in there. There had been only one guest room in the house.
"There done." Madame Malkin said to Scott
Scott stepped off of the platform. He told Madame Malkin what type of suit he wanted. After being told what time to pick it up. Scott payed for the suit and left.
Scott had decided to venture further down the older part of the alley. Where Ollivander's wand shop used to be. Scott walked further down the street to where people could find the wizards version of what the muggle world called a Mom and Pop shop. It had been basically a couple of grocery stores and stuff like that.
It was the type of stores Scott loved to shop at. He was taught to shop at these type of stores. The was only one problem. The only clothes shop on Diagon Alley was Madame Malkin's.
That's why that shop was so popular. And Madame Malkin was the only person with the layout of the school robes and the spell for the coat of arms and colors.
That's why a lot of people in the wizard world didn't know how to sew. And if they did, it was usually to patch something up or make clothes for their children.
Passing a jewelry store, Scott got an idea. He wanted to propose to Rogue for a long time. He just hadn't found the right ring.

Rogue was walking in the town of Ottery Saint Catchpole. She didn't really feel like going to London with Scott when he had offered. She didn't need a new dress as the graduation at Hogwarts was a family affair.
Rogue had voiced that. And Scott understood. Ones family hadn't EVER brung a girlfriend or a boyfriend to a graduation.
She looked at all the shops the town had to offer. Rogue was happy that she had packed her wallet that held her debit and credit cards. When her and Scott's relationship was getting pretty serious, Scott put her on his credit card accounts.
The debit card was from her bank account. Scott had told Rogue of the wizarding world. Scott gad taken her to the local alley there in bayville. He showed her all the wonders of their magicks.
Feeling comfortable in the world Scott had grown up in, a manager and shopkeeper of a local magical grocer had offered Rogue a job. Rogue was lucky that the American wizards used muggle cash as payment.
All Rogue had to do was remember to wear gloves or her suppressants. Rogue was told the rules of the suppressants.
To not wear them constantly for weeks on end. And to be cautious, as the bracelets were getting old and in need of replacing.
At the beginning, when Rogue had only a few hours of work a day, Rogue would wear them. As she felt a need to adjust to her new environment. Then took them off when she got home.
And Rogue had secretly known about Scott's brother Harry. She had known since Harry had to do a pen pal thing at his school starting at the beginning of his sixth year.
Rogue saw a sign up sheet right outside of the stores door and had immediately signed up.
Harry had chosen her specifically as he had remembered what his brother had told him of her. Harry wanted to see if Scott had told Rogue anything about him.
When Rogue had told Harry that Scott never mentioned a brother. Harry began forming a plan to end his brother. And it had to be on graduation day.
When Harry invited Rogue to his graduation to see his prank on Scott. She declined saying that she would feel uncomfortable there.
Harry understood as graduation was meant for families of the graduating class.
The two even secretly met up a few of times. One time was when America had something Harry needed because England didn't.
When the two began to write each other more and more, they invested in a set of two way pocket sized notebooks. The words in the notebooks would then transfer to a larger book in Harry's trunk when the books were full.
Harry and Rogue likes to talk during class when they were board. They knew each other's schedules and timed them accordingly.
Rogue bought herself a magical mirror for 'Calls' on the weekends with Harry one day after work. When Scott found the mirror from accidentally knocking over Rogue's purse she had yelled that she was gonna tell him. Scott had decided to use his more often with Rogue then using a nearby pay phone.
Rogue entered a shop. It was a little thrift store with a bunch of miscellaneous things inside.
Rogue soon got board and decided to write Harry. He told her that he had the next three days off.

Hogwarts school

"Ready for your graduation in a couple of days babe?" Luna asked her boyfriend Harry
Luna and Harry were in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom right after their classes had ended. Well Harry didn't have classes as he had finished his NEWT tests last Friday and Luna had a half day. Sixth and seventh years had special privileges at the end of the year.
The two lovers were lucky that Myrtle was not in the bathroom at the time.
"No, I'm not. All I know is school." Harry said
"How?" Luna asked
"Ever since I was little, Remus and Sirius taught Scott and I how to do hand to hand combat. Taught us wandless magic.
"They taught us how to fight in every way possible. Even my dad taught me on how to use my mutant powers when we started to talk again." Harry said, "All I know is how to learn. I only 'do' under pressure."
When he finished, Harry put his head onto Luna's shoulder. And like always, Luna had 'petted' Harry's head for comfort.
Luna and Harry continue to talk as they head for the Great Hall for lunch. When Harry took his seat at the table, he wasn't paying attention to his friends. He was nervous about Wednesday. The day where he can break free of school.
But Harry was thinking about what he will do after he leaves this place. He needed to think of a job. Harry's best classes put him into the category of being an Auror.
But soon Harry felt his notebook heat up in his back pants pocket. There was only one person to write him in the notebook. Rogue.
'In Ottery Saint Catchpole away from the burrow. Don't know what to do.' R
'There is nothing much there. That's why I always went to London. Or Andromeda Tonks's house.' H
'How can I get to London? Scott already left to get a suit for Wednesday.' R
Harry had thought about this. He was told that she was at the burrow last night. That the blackbird had broken down just outside the boundaries.
'If you go back to the burrow. Ask Molly to let you use the fireplace for the floo network. Then when you use it you yell 'THE LEAKY CAULDRON' very very clearly. Then you will be in London.' H
'Okay. And Harry. Give Scott hell for me.' R
Harry smiles at his friends antics. When Hermione and Neville get Harry's attention back, they ask what he was doing.
"I'm talking to Scott's girlfriend." Harry says
