Earl Hadrian James Potter-Black was very famous, in both the wizarding and muggle world. He was more magically powerful than Merlin and more wealthy than Tony Stark. He defeated Lord Voldemort for good, and for that, he got many awards. Such as the Order of Merlin First Class, and the George Cross. He was going to be in charge of Potter Inc. after his  20th birthday. Potter Inc. is a multi-billion dollar company. He was the lord of houses Potter, Black, Gryffindor, Slytherin, and Peverell. He was also the Master of Death.

Hadrian was also extremely handsome. With shoulder-length, soft, perfectly messy, black hair and a strong nose. He had tan skin, a sharp jawline, and perfectly shaped lips. He had piercing toxic-green eyes. His skin had many battle scars, yet not a single blemish. He was also very tall and had a swimmer's build.

However, Hadrian wanted to move to New York, USA. So, he talked to the goblins and got dual citizenship and a few other things he needed. Then, six months after the Battle of Hogwarts, he takes a private jet to NYC. His blood-adopted son, Heir Theodore Remus Lupin aka Teddy, was with him.

Once Hadrian and Teddy got off the private jet and out of the airport, they were hounded by reporters. They were very loud. So loud, that they hurt Teddy's ears. Hadrian immediately noticed that his son was upset and said sternly yet politely, "Thank you for your time. However, My son and I are very tired from such a long ride. So, if you'll excuse us."

Most of the crowd left after that statement. So, Hadrian and Teddy walked towards their car. Soon enough, the father-son duo was walking into their new penthouse. Their penthouse was beautiful and modern. With lots of big windows in every room, a decked-out kitchen, an accessible rooftop garden, a huge library, a potions room, a gym/dueling room, an office just for Hadrian, a playroom, two living rooms, formal and informal dining rooms, seven bathrooms, and four bedrooms. One of the bedrooms was Hadrian's master. The one next to his was Teddy's nursery, the third bedroom was going to be Andy's room, and the last one was just a guestroom.

Hadrian had applied to a muggle high school and got accepted. He's going to go to Midtown High School. Sadly, he cannot bring Teddy to his new school. So, when Hadrian goes to school Andy will look after Teddy. Andy is Teddy's grandmother and will be living with the father-son duo.

When Hadrian went to check for food in the kitchen and pantry, he found none. He sighed in exasperation. He wanted to call his house elves, but they were busy making sure that everything was good with his other properties. He only had two house elves, Winky and Kreacher. The rest died because no one was with them to bind with them for years. Anyway, Hadrian eventually decided to just go grocery shopping himself.

Hadrian quickly fed and changed Teddy, then began the walk to the nearest grocery store. On the walk, he had to deal with people coming up to him. Most were women who wanted a piece of him or to coo at his son. The few women who just wanted a piece of him kinda freaked him out, he was only seventeen.

Anyway, Hadrian and Teddy eventually made it to the store. After a few minutes of shopping, a small group of robbers came into the store with guns. Hadrian immediately hid. However, Teddy began to cry. His crying apparently angered one of the robbers, because he ran over to where the father-son duo was trying to hide and grabbed Teddy. Hadrian, now terrified and furious, screamed and tackled the robber to the ground.

The superhero Spiderman was doing his usual route when he passed a grocery store... In that store, a man that looked like a normal robber ran up to a man who was holding a crying child and grabbed the child. The man screamed and tackled the robber to the ground. The man gently pulled the child back into his arms. However, another robber pulled out a gun and began to shoot at them. The man holding the child gracefully dodged the bullet and then disarmed and knocked out the robber. The other two robbers began to walk towards the man and child, only for the man quickly knock them out.

Spiderman was in awe of this man! He watched the man get his groceries and wait until the police came. Once they came they questioned the people who were there and the man. While they questioned the man Spiderman finally heard his voice... Spiderman quickly fell for the man's voice. Then he heard the man's name, Earl Hadrian Potter-Black. The police then seemed shocked and quickly apologized for wasting his time. Hadrian just shook his head and said that it was no big deal. Then Hadrian left and Spiderman wanted to follow. However, he was reminded that it was almost time for dinner.

Peter Parker aka Spiderman couldn't get Hadrian out of his head. He has begun to walk past the grocery store every day. He's been trying to find him. However, he's been distracted and people are starting to notice. Like his father figure, Tony Stark. One day, as Peter was thinking about Hadrian, Tony asked him teasingly, "Who's got you so distracted?"

"Huh? Oh, um..."

"Come on, kid! I won't tell no one."

"Ok, fine... I walking a passed a grocery store, when some robbers grabbed a child from his arms."

"Wait!? Are you talking about the Grocery Store Incident that's all over the news?"

"Why would it be all over the news?"

"Because, of who the child was."

"Who was the child then?"

"Heir Theodore Remus Lupin. He is the heir to many noble families in Britain. Earl Hadrian James Potter-Black adopted him and made him his heir. Earl Potter-Black moved to New York that same day."

"So, you're telling me that I guy I have a slight crush on is an earl!?"

"Ha! It's more than a slight crush! Anyway, yeah."

"But he knows how to fight!"

"I would hope so! He got the George Cross from the Queen!"

"The what?"

"Ugh! Do your own research! Now, focus!"

"Ok, Mr. Stark!" Peter replied nervously.
