Harry Potter: Syndicate of Heroes

With a nod, Harry led the way across to the table where they both sat.

"Hermione Granger," Hermione said, reaching across to shake the Agent's hand.

"Bobbi Morse, of S.H.I.E.L.D." she replied.

"What can we do for you, Agent?" Harry asked.

"I'm here to debrief you, Mister Potter," she stated, opening the briefcase that she'd carried in to extract a file and a pen.

"Debrief me?" Harry asked, sharing a look with Hermione.

"Indeed. After your actions with the Avengers, the world has taken note of you. We at S.H.I.E.L.D. would like to help you with that," Agent Morse stated.

"O-kay," Harry said slowly. "Exactly how do you intend on doing that? From what Matt and Hermione have told me, no one knows who I am or the extent of what I can do. I'm sure that I can look after myself."

"Perhaps in the magical world," she replied, then, after the startled look that Harry and Hermione shared, "I have been cleared to know about the magical world."

"How did you get such clearance?" Hermione asked intently. "I was under the impression that only Director Fury had such clearance within your organisation."

"Ordinarily that would be true, but as the newly appointed liaison between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers, of which, you, Mister Potter, have become a part, I was given the necessary clearance. And as your liaison, I report back to Director Fury who will be running … interference for S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers if the MACUSA try to stick their noses in where they're not wanted or needed."

Harry shook his head. "Look. I fought alongside that group once, mostly on the periphery, trying to help the ordinary people who were getting hurt and killed, and I met them once. How does that make me one of them?"

"In simple terms, the fact that you fought for the world alongside the rest of the Avengers meant that you were de facto labelled as a part of the team. The fact that Tony Stark, who seems to have become the spokesman for the Avengers, has stated that you're one of them, cemented that fact. The world has seen the footage of you working alongside them, fighting together and for them. You are an Avenger. How much of an involvement you have with the team is up to you. Unless, of course, you tell me right here and now that even if the need was there, that you'd stay away from the fight."

Hermione snorted and Harry gave her a sour look.

"Harry? Stay away from the action?" Hermione said, laughter clear in her voice. "Agent Morse, there's no way that you could keep him away. He's always had a 'saving-people thing'. It's an integral part of who he is."

"Fine. So apparently, I'm an Avenger, whatever in Merlin's name that means," Harry groused. "So what do you need from me?"

"As your liaison, it is in our best interest that we know as much about you as possible so that if you ever need help, resources or training, that we can provide it."

"Makes sense, Harry," Hermione said, laying a hand on his arm.

At her touch, he sighed and nodded. "Ask away, Agent Morse."

"This is a simple personnel file. We get this filled out now and that'll be it for today," she said, tapping her folder before opening it.

"Your name is Harry James Potter, correct?" she asked and quickly received a nod. "Have you ever been known by any other names? This includes personal names, alias', nicknames or titles."

Once again, Hermione snorted, causing him to narrow his eyes at her.

"Yes," he replied shortly.

"This will go a lot quicker if you answer the questions properly, Mister Potter," Agent Morse stated.

"Fine. The-Boy-Who-Lived. TriWizard Champion. The Chosen One. The-Man-Who-Conquered," he replied with a barely suppressed growl.

"They're titles within the wizarding world," Hemione explained, "specifically within magical Britain, although they are known throughout the rest of the magical world as well. They almost all relate to a magical civil war that engulfed magical Britain in the eighties and nineties until Harry stopped the Dark Wizard responsible for it all."

"I may want to visit that topic some more another time," Agent Morse stated, making copious amounts of notes on her form. "Next relates to family and very close friends."

"Why do you need to know that?" Harry asked, his eyes narrowed.

"So that we can keep them safe if the need arises," Agent Morse replied. "For example, in the recent crisis, as soon as S.H.I.E.L.D. learned that Loki was involved, we had an astrophysicist by the name of Jane Foster moved to a safe, secure location simply because she is a very close friend of Thor's."

Harry nodded his understanding. "I have an aunt and uncle that I haven't seen in over a decade and have no desire to, either. My cousin, Dudley Dursley, and I get on alright, I guess. He lives in Penzance, Cornwall. Other than that, it's just Hermione and her parents, I guess. There's a few others, but they're safely hidden away in the wizarding world."

"Very well. I will need to get details for both yourself and your parents, Miss Granger," Agent Morse stated. "Next is education and jobs."

"I finished at Hogwarts … er, magic school, in ninety-nine," Harry began.

"That seems a bit late, given your age," Agent Morse commented.

"Yeah, well, I should have finished in ninety-eight, but there was a war on and I wasn't able to go to school that last year," Harry explained. "And then it took half a year to repair the school and in some parts, rebuilt the castle before we could all go back."
