Sorting

Pietro sadly never got the chance to actually don the Sorting Hat. He was posthumously sorted into Gryffindor, largely for his courage in fighting Ultron.

The Hat wasn't just calling Pietro "brave" for inspirational reasons, though. For better or worse, Pietro's boldness was on full display in every major event of his life. when his parents were killed and his home decimated, he demonstrated incredible resiliance for a child his age. He and his sister joined radical causes at a young age, and volunteered for dangerous experiments. Where Wanda was scheming, introspective and crafty, Pietro was gun-ho and athletic.

It was a cute irony that the twins often wore each other’s Hogwarts colors.

Experimental Magic

The Maximoff twins were traumatized and embittered orphans when they began their first year at Durmstrang Institute of Magic, a school notorious for its connection to Dark Wizards. Blaming one of the Avengers for their parents' deaths, and growing up in a horrible Muggle orphanage, made them ripe for indoctrination by the Neo-Death Eaters. when they finally got to be among their own kind again at Durmstrang, and were even allowed to stay at the castle over the summer for "summer school" (dangeous experiments and more brainwashing), they jumped at the offer.

Professor Professor Beowulf Von Stucker was mostly interested in Wanda, a born Legillimens, but allowed her brother to have take a dip in the experimental potion as well. In the cauldron, the subject was magically fused with his or her wand, using the Mind Stone. This automatically granting them the power of effortless wandless magic, and the traits of the creature whose feather or hair powered said wand. (Special thanks to AlasterBoneman, for the idea of fusing Wanda with her wand.) Previously Humans, Wanda and Pietro became part Phoenix and Veela respectively. The Veela hair in Pietro's wand granted him the "Veela's Dance," which constituted inhuman speed and reflexes, as well as silvery Veela hair.

The twins were nearing the end of their second year at Durmstrang when they finally realized the error of their ways. After he and his sister changed sides to save Durmstrang from plummeting fifty miles (long story), Pietro took a killing curse meant for Clint Barton and a Durmstrang first year. The Gryffindor lion was carved onto Pietro's tombstone, after he was buried next to his parents. Wanda transferred to Hogwarts, after being offered a spot on the Order of the Avengers, where she was sorted into Ravenclaw.

The Other Quicksilver:

There is another “Maximoff” across the pond, who also rides a Quicksilver broom, and is part-Veela. Is Peter Maximoff related to Pietro and wanda? Nah; it’s just that people named Maximoff tend to come from the same part of the world as Veelas. Peter Maximoff is a naturally born Human/Veela hybrid, attending Xavier’s School for Gifted Witches and Wizards.

When Agatha Harkness needed a fake Pietro to manipulate wanda, she sought to put Peter Maxmoff under the Imperius Curse for the role, only to find Xavier Castle empty for summer break. Too much in a hurry to track him down, she instead stole a silvery hair from Peter’s dorm, and made a Polyjuice Potion, which she forced down the gullet of an unfortunate Muggle with the unfortunate name of Ralph Bohner. The result is one confusing fake-Pietro. But Wanda, in her grief, fell for it.

Monica Rambeau freed Ralph Bohner from Agatha’s Imperius Curse, and he returned to his Muggle school, where he returned to a normal life of merciless bullying over his surname.

Notes: I wasn't particularly pumped to draw Quicksilver until I saw this image .
Once more, a very special thanks to Alaster Boneman, who suggested the idea of Wanda being fused with her wand.
