FicWad

I do so love seeing a good Dumble-sledging; this story has two of them (first from Agatha Harkness, the second from Tony himself). Harry's making up with Snape has a convert (Severus and Wanda Maximoff discussing magic like civilized folks); Filius Flitwick (remember, in this story, both Harry and Hermione are Ravenclaws) and, of all people, Pomona Sprout (apparently there are advantages in having the Oldest Living Hufflepuff in your corner) are also in that camp. Between Harry/Hermione/Padma's more overt dealings, and the behind-the-scenes work of the Grangers, Patils, Longbottoms (remember, Neville is a Friend of Harry) and other potentials (Susan Bones is already prepping to owl her Aunt Amelia regarding Agatha's unjust banishment), Riddle and Dumbledore are screwed in ways that neither has realized yet. (Speaking of Riddle losses, he's already lost at least four potential future recruits, all from Slytherin: Crabbe, Goyle, Parkinson, and, surprisingly, Draco Malfoy! Between Draco and Severus, the losses from Slytherin alone will only get larger.)

Franklin as in Franklin Richards, the eldest son of Reed and Susan Richards?

Though Jarvis is present (as is Happy Hogan and his ex, Pepper), I'm surprised not to have a whiff of James Rhodey Rhodes (at this point, he was not only still friends with Tony and employed by SI, he also served as Iron Man when Tony had public appearances he could not skip). Will Rhodey show up at some point? (It's pretty darn certain that some of the advances in the Techsuit would lead to later advances in both Stark's own Iron Man suit and the later Stark/Rhodes battlesuit, AKA the War Machine suit.) Tony has always been about making a difference with his inventions and designs (in a positive way); it's never been just about the money with him (though he has nothing against making money). Who shows up from the DC Universe? Wanda Maximoff is pure Marvel (AKA the Scarlet Witch; she's also the wife of synthezoid and fellow Avenger Vision); Agatha Harkness is also a Marvel character (and a friend of both Wanda and Tony; in fact, she introduced the two to each other, largely at the behest of Stephen Strange). Strange himself came to magic even later in his life than Harry or Hermione; he wasn't trained in sorcery until well after reaching adulthood (he was already a well-known surgeon). However, I would love to have Stephen meet the Grangers (or better yet, Hermione). So far, the only characters from the DC universe to make a major appearance is the law firm Tony consulted to adopt Harry (however, Tony is apparently knowledgeable about the Dark Detective and some of his activities).
