Chapter 11

Nat thought about it for a second and nodded her head.

Charles is currently in the school, the infirmary to be precise and was currently tended by the school nurse while the professor headed to report to Dumbledore.

"What a nasty burn you have there."

Charles looks at the nurse like telling no shit.

*cough*

"I'm Poppy Pomfrey, Hogwarts Nurse."

Charles nodded and said, "I'm Charles Addams, the owner of Addams' Charcuterie in Hogsmeade."

Pomfrey nodded, "We still have some anti-burn potions left here somewhere, we are always out of stock of that kind of potions. Student always make their potions explode."

Making Pomfrey embarrassed about the state of their potion stocks.

Charles just nodded politely at the nurse and making some small talks, while remembering what happened a while ago.

Hagrid arrived with two professor in tows,

"Yeh alrigh' mate? Harry and Ron was runnin' ter me tellin' ter get the professor."

Hagrid ran while checking around, he saw some blood on the ground, "Is that yer blood? Yeh bleedin' anywhere?"

"It's not mine Hagrid, I saw someone drinking unicorn blood from a fowl and I rushed in."

Charles looks at the two behind Hagrid and said, "I'm Charles Addams sir..?

"Professor Flitwick.", "Professor Snape." spoken by the two unisonly.

The two was currently looking around place and notice a sign of battle that prompted Professor Snape to say, "Someone is consuming unicorn blood?"

But he can't shrugged the hint of a familiar magical presence around the place.

"Yes Professor, I couldn't look at his face as he had some obscuring charm spell on, but from his body build I could say his a male."

Snape nodded while Flitwick cast some spell that made him gasp, "The Killing Curse."

That made Snape alarm and Hagrid to pale and stood up while slightly touching Charles burns that made him groan.

"Let's better get back at the castle." Flitwick offered while standing on alert looking around for anything suspicious.

They arrived at Hogwarts 13 minutes later and they were greeted by Minverva and Sinistra, Flitwick greeted the two and said some words that made the two female professors alarm while Snape nodded and was going straight to Dumbledore.

Charles was currently checking the bandage around his arms when the door was suddenly pushed in, he looked up and saw Albus Dumbledore.

Albus check the man who is currently sitting on the hospital bed, and notice some traits, muscular with many scars. *Cough* "May I know who this guy is Poppy?"

"This gentleman is Charles Professor, he owns the pub in Hogsmeade."

Dumbledore nodded about the introduction and asked, "Young man, can you explain the details about the encounter in the forest?"

Charles eyebrow raised but still agreed.

Dumbledore was nodding at some point and ask for clarification of some parts like why he didn't use his wand, but accepted the answer that in the spur of the moment Charles rushed in with waving fist, chucking it in his mind that it's folly of youth.

When Dumbledore was going to send Charles away, he was almost got hit by Poppy saying that Charles was currently wounded and need to rest.

Charles was amused by this and said, "Thank you Poppy, I really need some rest."

"It's okay dear, you can occupy the vacant bed."

*

"So how was the guy professor? How did he get those burns in his arms?'

"His okay Minerva, Poppy did a great job patching up the guy, as for his burns… he told me he got hit by close proximity full powered blasting hex."

That made the professors around gasp/raised brows/sneer.

"Don't tell me you believe that professor? Blasting hex can surely make burns but for a full powered? And just his hand!" Snape said while making a point that made Minerva nod.

"Albus….. " Flitwick said hesitantly and made Snape stop from his tirade and listen to the half-golbin of what he has to say.

"Filius?"

"I found some magical residue of the killing curse being used."

That made Snape remember the magical presence of the place and made him shudder.

"Are yeh sayin' that Charl's used tha' forbidden curse? He's a good man!" Hagrid said defending his friend.

"We understand Hagrid, but the magical residue in the air that time can't be mistaken!" said Flitwick.

Dumbledore who was listening to them arguing and making him paint a picture of the guy who was currently being watched by Poppy.

Eric who was about to jump was held back by Fury, "Stand down Agent! That's an order!"

Eric Brooks who was about to retort, "I SAID STAND DOWN!"

Gomez was just sipping his mead and was slightly tipsy.

"It's okay Fury, no harm done."

Fury nodded and signal Eric that they're going to leave and go find Nat and Phil who was still dissatisfied but chose to follow orders.

"Dhampir?" Fury decides to ask the person who is most likely knowledgeable about the subject.

"Half-vampire and anything else but from the looks of it, his half-human."

So Eric is not inhuman like what he keep saying.

"Are they dangerous?"

"Dangerous? No, they have some of the vampires advantage but not the weakness. It's still dependent on dhampir if they want to cooperate or not."

Fury nodded and asked if he could get the pages as soon as possible.

Gomez obliged and said he could get it tomorrow, ask for mailing address.

The four Shield agents is currently outside the Addams mansion, they get in their car that was currently park outside the main gate.

Clint who noticed that awkward silence in the air said, "Well that was informative."

Breaking the silence of the four.

Fury who check out his agents that was outside, Daisy was currently banged up, Grant is holding his arms, and Clint have some bruises.

"What happen to the three of you?"

Clint, Daisy, and Grant look at each other and said, "We don't know sir."

Fury scrunched his brows, "Elaborate."

Which was followed by silence.

"Damn! Explain what the heck happen!"

Clint kick Grant legs motioning him to speak up and got a glare in return and look at Daisy who seems to be faking unconsciousness and look finally at Fury who seems irritated.

Grant manage let out a sigh to himself and accepted his fate as the sacrificial lamb of the group.

Grant explain that the three of them was checking around the place, looking for any traces of their man.

At the first 20 minutes it was all going okay when they noticed they were being followed.

They decided to intercept the two, leaving Daisy and Clint while Grant go the long way round and ambushed them and found nothing, when he came back. He found Clint who is tied to the tree looking like he has no idea what happened and Daisy that is also being tied up.

Grant located their pursuer and was shocked that they were kids. The three of them are highly trained SHIELD agents and was outsmarted by a two kids.

The kids introduced themselves as Wednesday and Pugsley Addams, they said they're going to play tag but they would get some toys first so they should stay there.

With the two kids gone, Grant managed to untie to two of them and ask what happened.

Clint said Daisy was hit by darts that has numbing effect, and when he turned around he was surprised to see they were the Addams kids. He knows Fury was establishing connections to the family so fighting back seems counter-productive so he just goes with the flow.

When the kids came back they were surprised the boy was holding a club and crossbow, while the girl was carrying morningstar and flail.

And for the next couple 30 minutes, the three of them were running around the place with Daisy having a hard time with the numbing effect is still in her system.

When they lost them in the forest, they decided to abort the mission. It's not even official so they shouldn't force themselves.

They came back in the van and waited for the four of them to come back.
