"Sir, did you figure anythingout?" Maria Hillasked from the driver's seat, glancing at Fury in the back.

"Some veryinteresting points. That little shop ownermentioned something being illegal. I'm certainno country's laws have related provisions, so when she spoke of illegality—which law was she referring to? This proves she's definitely not an isolated case. Behind her is at least an entire society. The flyer she gave me has a blank space at the bottom corner. By logical deduction, that should be the shop's address. Combined with the stack of flyers she was looking through, there should be quite a few shops." Fury said.

If Gemini were here, she would definitelystare wide-eyed—this man had nearly uncovered the wizarding world from just a few small clues.

"So sir, what do we do next?" Hillasked.

Furypondered for a moment. "Nothing. They shouldn't have any malicious intent—otherwise such a large group would never be this quiet. We need to observe more."

"Contact Coulson. Give him the materials Africasent yesterday and have him establish contact with Stark as soon as possible." Fury said while flipping through the documents in his hand.

"Yes, sir." Hillresponded.

After Tonyreturned home, he gaveGemini's order to George. Georgeraised an eyebrow upon receiving the order and directly forwarded it to the alchemy workshopemployees—let them handle such technically unchallengingwork. He was currently interested in collaborating with Tony on a suitcombining technology and magic.

The twodove headfirst into the lab again, with Tonyoccasionally flying around the world in his suit to destroy weaponsproduced by Stark Industries.

Pepper had been unwilling to acknowledge Tony since he stood her up at the gala. It was only because JARVIS, based on online information, had Boggdeliver deliciouslunches, dinners, afternoon teas, and midnight snacks to Pepper on schedule that she was finally appeased. Tonynow suspectedObadiah as well. He specifically calledPepper to his house, introduced her to Bogg—which scared her considerably—but after experiencingBogg's service, she had to admit: it was amazing!

Tonyasked Pepper to helpfind evidence on Obadiah's computer and had Boggaccompany her for protection. He and George were almost finished with Magic Mark 1 and really couldn'tspare time to go to the company. Besides, if he went personally, it would definitelyalert their target, so he could onlyentrust Pepper.

Though Pepper was afraid, seeingBogg's combatcapabilitiesput her at ease. She took the USB driveTonygave her and left, her high heelsclicking with the momentum of someoneheading to battle.

"Finished!" Georgecarefully fitted the last steel plate, confirmed it was perfectly aligned, then cheered triumphantly.

"Excellent! I have to try it!" Tonyran directly from behind the computer to look at the unpaintedMagic Mark 1before him. It was covered with various magical runes and incorporatedGeorge's newlyresearchedmagic-shielding function. JARVIS's controlwasn't affected in the slightest. With magical assistance, this Magic Mark 1achievednew heights in defense and weight. Simple testsshowed the surface-attachedarmor charm could withstandthree hits from individual rocket launchers, while the moon silvermixed into the metal's interiorgreatly reducedweight while maintaininghardness and flexibility.

The currentMagic Mark 1 could be lifted by an adult with just a bit of effort, allowing it to be stuffed directly into an Undetectable Extension Bag for carrying. Additionally, George had improved upon the wand holsterprinciple—justsay the correct command and Magic Mark 1 would automatically equipitself. Of course, even if someone elselearned the command, it wouldn't matter—JARVIS's unlockcommand was built in as well, providingdouble security.

Tony and Georgeargued brieflybeforeTonyfinally gained the right to test it by promising to custom-makeanother suit for George.

"Alright then, let's begin!" Tonytook a deep breath, standingbeforeMagic Mark 1. "Gryffindor!" As Tony's wordsfell, Magic Mark 1immediately disassembled into various fragments that flew to different parts of Tony's body. The runes flashed, connecting directlytogether—the entire processtookless than two minutes.

Tonyclosed his faceplate. "JARVIS?"

"I'm here, sir."

"Checkall functions," Tony said.

"Yes, sir. All connections are secure, no anomaliesdetected, signal clear."

Tony was satisfied. "Good. Now let me trywalking around."

After walking a few steps in the lab and flyingseveral circles around his house, Tonyreturned to the laboratory. He swept his right handacross his left forearm—a wandcrafted into a gun-shaped shellinstantly appeared in his hand. He casually cast a spell, the entire processflowing smoothly. Opening what was originally meant to hold ammunition, George had fixedseveral spellsthere—justchannel a bit of magic power and they would fire directly.

"Fantastic! Absolutely perfect!" Tony said, removingMagic Mark 1 with JARVIS's help and standingbeside George. "Still painting it gold and red?"

"Of course! Gryffindorshould definitely be gold and red!" Georgenodded definitively.

"Speaking of which, why Gryffindor? Isn't that your school housename?" Tonyasked curiously.

"I told you to think of something—you said I could decide. Besides, gold and red is the standard Gryffindorcolor scheme. How fitting!" Georgelooked innocently at Tony. "Friendly reminder: please don'twear the suit in front of Gemini."

Tonylooked puzzled. "Because she's Slytherin?"

Georgespread his hands and shrugged.

"Are you guys children?!" Tonyasked incredulously.

"Sir, a piece of paperflew out of the fireplace," JARVISsuddenly announced. "It's currently circling the living room."

The twoexchanged glances and decided to investigate together.

Just as they reached the stairway, the paper notestuck to George like it had found a long-lost relative.

"Let mesee—what the hell?" Georgeopened the note, quickly scanning it. "Fuck!"

"What's wrong?" Tonyasked.

"The magic eyeGemini orderedearlier—there's a problem. Tonight's the delivery deadline! They're onlytelling me now? American wizards are really... so unprofessional!" George was somewhat frantic. "If I can't deliver on time, Geminidefinitely won'tlet me off easy! I have to go—while there's still time, I'll helprush the order." George said, cursing as he entered the fireplace.

Tonydidn'tevenget to say goodbyebeforeGeorgedisappeared.

Tonyshrugged. "Well, I was thinking of celebrating. Guess I'll have to celebrate alone!"

"JARVIS, paint it according to the previous plan!" Tony said, heading upstairs to rest and chat with Maria's portrait—he'd neglected Maria for too long while busy with Magic Mark 1.

"Yes, sir. Estimated time: two hours," JARVIS's calmvoiceresponded.
