Best Day Ever

Man-Who-Conquered To Marry Today!
by Rita Skeeter

That's right, my loyal readers, you read the headline correctly. Harry Potter, our own Boy-Who-Lived, Chosen One and Man-Who-Conquered is due to be married this very day. Like you, when I heard the news, I was overjoyed with excitement. For who deserves happiness more than Harry Potter after his tragic childhood and all that he has done for our world?

It has been some time since Harry Potter was amongst us. I'm sure that you all recall that even then, on his last brief visit home, he was still working to protect us all. That time, it was from a group of misguided fanatics who had taken a group of Hogwarts students and professors' captive in the hope of forcing the Ministry of Magic to release the criminals from the Second Blood War that are currently housed in Azkaban. Due to Harry Potter's interference, those miscreants were captured, tried and themselves sentenced to Azkaban Prison.

But who, I hear you ask, has captured our Chosen One's heart so completely that he is due to marry today after a relatively short and quiet engagement? Many, I'm sure, would suspect that it was Harry Potter's long-time best friend and love interest, Hermione Granger, but you would be wrong. At the very least, like myself, you would expect the bride to be magical. But alas, we would also be wrong in that assumption.

This reporter has worked tirelessly in pursuit of the truth and can now tell you that the future Lady of the Most Ancient and Noble Houses of Potter and Black is Daisy Louise Johnson. Miss Johnson is not magical. Indeed, it seems that she is not even completely human. She is, what the muggles have come to call, a part of the Inhuman section of the people of Earth.

For those of you who are not familiar with what has been going on in the muggle world over the last few years, let me enlighten you.

We magicals, as you know, have been in hiding from the muggle world for centuries, ever since the Statute of Secrecy was imposed by the International Confederation of Wizardry in sixteen eighty-nine. But there has been another group, somewhat like ourselves, who has also been in hiding. These people aren't fully human, instead part of their ancestry is from another planet, if one can believe such a thing. These people have special abilities, but unlike us, they are limited to a single ability.

Daisy Johnson can cause vibrations to make the ground shake or to move objects. And that brings us to how our Man-Who-Conquered met Miss Johnson. Both are a part of the muggle 'hero' team, the Avengers. They have worked together to keep people safe from harm and to stop evildoers from atrocities that we are intimately familiar with from the War against He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

While I am sure that we all would have preferred that Harry Potter marry a witch, knowing that he has found an equal in Miss Johnson is some comfort and I, for one, wish them well and encourage them to come home soon.

Harry Potter and Daisy Johnson will be married outside of England at a location that this reporter could not locate. We here at the Daily Prophet will endeavour to bring you pictures of the happy occasion as soon as possible.

ooo00ooo

Nat gave him a nonplussed look.

"You know as well as I do that this isn't all that different from a host of other assignments that we've had over the years. We're basically bouncers," she said.

"Bouncers who aren't allowed to shoot anyone," Clint retorted.

Nat, as was typical for her, ignored the comment. Not that there would have been time for a retort in any case as a flare of blue appeared in the designated place across the room. When the woman stopped spinning, she looked up at them, recognition blossoming on her face.
