I own Nothing of Harry Potter. PS. I have no clue where Hermione but remember reading some where it was Crawly so that is what I will use.
Chapter 2
Harry walks out of Gringotts five hours later. During that time he had commissioned a Castle with a large underground complex to be built on the Peverell land outside of Hogsmeade as well as a six foot thick eight foot tall stone fence all the way around the property. Inside this fence 200 pre-fabricated houses would be built as well as 100 four apartment apartment buildings all of which used magical appliances. All of these had been bought through a muggle bank Gringotts had ties to. Also set up in side the wall would be Three large muggle industrial greenhouse that had been charmed to stay warm to grow potions ingredients in, and a large factory set up for "Steel production" that would really mix mass vats of potions, with runes and magic heating and stirring the vats so to remove the need for wood, and then bottle the potions with a magical bottler like what is used for Butterbeer and a large warehouse to be used later. He was told it would take four months to have it all done with the houses he wanted on it but the castle, complex, greenhouses, factory and Warehouse would be done in about 6 weeks. He did tell them he had plans to add his own security as well.
He had also expresses his desire to become emancipated in the Muggle world and was pleasantly surprised to find out that he already was as part of magical emancipation included muggle emancipation. He had then asked to buy a house in Crawly as close to the address of 14 Whither Street as possible and had found out that 19 Whither was for sale. He had purchased it, fully furnished. He had then arranged for the his school record to be sent to Crawly public in such a way it was impossible to trace. After his business for the time being was done he had gathered the four Grimoires and obtained a Gringotts debt card that could be used in the muggle world.
The last thing he did was gather the rings to the five families he was head of as while the Gryffindor and Potter family was merged the Perpetuate family license requires that it stay under the title of Lord Gryffindor. These rings were magical proof of his emancipation as well as his lawful Perpetuate Licenses. They all merged into one where you could choose which coat of arms was shown he choose Peverell.
Once in Diagon Alley he went to a small jewelery store and bought a Silver ring. He had then taken the ring and slid to his new home in Crawly. Once there he engraved the proper ruins he had found in one of the Peverell books to make it function as a wand. After he had tested it and found that it worked just fine he went shopping for new clothes. He bought himself a decent wardrobe after conning the sale person by telling her that his mother had sent him with his nanny as to get new clothes as his had all been ruined so he had to wear his dads old things until he got clothes. After an exhausting day he slid home and noticed it was nine at night. He went upstairs place the shotgun in the closet and the pistol in his night stand and kept his ring on. He then went to bed. Tomorrow was his first day full day of freedom and, hopefully, the first time he would see Hermione, the love of his life, since that day.
The next morning
Harry awoke early the next day at 6 am. He quickly dressed and ate a simple breakfast. He went then settled down to read a bit from the Grimoirs. He discovered all sort of interesting enchantments he had never heard of. One that he knew would come in handy was the process of enchanting Golems, he had already figured out how to use them to increase security with rock, metal and water Golems. He also had an idea remembering the mannequin he had seen shopping yesterday. The other major rediscovery was the process for catching spell in crystals that would trigger in set circumstances. He had already figured out how to place these crystal once he captured Protronous for Dementors and Lumos Maximus for vampires in the crystals (Sorry got the idea from a story I read but cannot remember which.)
At nine he went for a walk. As he was walking in the park he spotted a very familiar head of brown hair sitting on a swing with a book in her hand. It was Hermione. He walked up to the swing and began to talk.
"Hi, I'm Harry. Do you mind if I swing with you? I am new here and do not know anyone." Harry stated in a mature tone.
"Sure, if you want." Hermione responded before adding, "I am Hermione by the way."
"Nice to meet you Hermione." Harry responds.
After about ten minutes a group of four boys come up to the swing and grab Hermione's book.
"Hey look the bookworm has a new friend." one kid states.
"Hey, what should we do to this book." states another
"I know lets tear out the pages" states a third
"But what about the new kid?" asks the fourth.
"Leave him be" states the first kid, "He'll find out what happens to friends of the book freak later."
As he starts to rip the pages he is surprised as the book is removed from his hand.
"I believe that this belongs to Hermoine. It is very rude to take things that do not belong to you." Harry explains.
"Give me back the book you loser. We have to teach the bookworm a lesson." states the second boy while reaching for the book only to have it pulled from his reach.
"Get him!" shouts the third boy only to receive a right-hook to the face knocking him down.
The other three rush him at once. Harry responds with two kicks to the stomachs of boys one and four sending them to the ground. The second boy goes to grab Harry only to be pulled over and receive an elbow to the gut . Harry then stands over all four and says, "Go and don't bother her again." while casting a non-verbal compulsion charm so they will obey.
After they had left Harry turns toward Hermione.
"Are you alright?" asks Harry returning the book
"Yeah, I am fine but they ripped my book." Sniffles out Hermione
"Here let me see." Harry states as he examines the book., " I think I can fix this if you want."
"Please, My grandmother gave it to me." states Hermione pleadingly.
"Okay." Harry then points his ringed finger at the books, "Repairo." The page repairs itself.
"H-how did you do that." asks Hermione
"Magic. You know it is just a simple household charm." Harry states knowing how Hermione's mine works and is not disappointed.
"That was real Magic! But magic is not real! But I just saw it! Can I learn? Will you teach me?" Hermione asks.
"Not everyone can use it. In fact just by showing you it I broke the law. However, I sense you have the ability but let me check." he then casts a magic revealing charm that witches use to see if a new baby is magical. As he suspected the results come back positive.
"Yes, I will teach you. However, until you are eleven I cannot teach you wand magic, as you can not own a wand. I can only use magic because of this ring." Harry states while holding up his ring to show her. "However, I could give you one I guess but I still can not teach you without your parents permission and your magical guardians permission as well. We need to talk to your parents first. Are they home?" she nods before grabbing his arm and pulling him toward her house.
When they reach her house she starts yelling, "Mom! Where are you?"
"In the Kitchen sweetheart. Why what is the matter?" Hermione's mom answers.
"Come here I want you to meet someone." answers Hermione.
"Who is it dear?" asks Hermione's Mom as she walks into the living room.
"Hello, Mrs. Granger. My name is Harry Potter." Harry says with a smile.
"Mom, he can do magic, real magic not tricks. He says I can learn as well. Can I Mom please?"Hermione rapidly exclaims.
"Hermione, maybe I should show her before you make her think this is some kind of cruel joke." Harry states while turning the couch in the corner into a horse before turning it back.
At this display of magic Mrs. Granger promptly faints. After waking her up and calling Hermione's dad home. Harry Explained that Hermione was what was known as a Muggleborn.
"A Muggleborn is a witch or wizard born to a non magical family. There are other classifications but they are more complex."Harry explained before going on to explain the discrimination that muggleborns face and how they will have harder times getting a job.
"So why should we allow Hermione to study magic if she will face this idiocy?" asked Mr. Granger.
"There are several reasons. One is untrained magical are a danger to themselves and others during their magical growth and as such a law was passed requiring there training the magical govt. can and has in the past taken "guardianship" from the parents and had them "Adopted" into pure-blood families where they become little more then slaves. The second is that if her magical guardian sponsors her as well and is a head of one of the ancient and noble houses then she will actually have an easier time then most pure bloods. If you want I am willing to sponsor her as well as be her magical guardian." Harry explains.
"But you are younger then her. How can you be her guardian?" asked Mrs. Granger.
"I am Magically emancipated and head of five of the 25 ancient and noble families. As well as three of only 6 High Lords in all of England who by Ancient Law are the only ones responsible for the punishment of their wards, retainers or sworn vassals. I can invoke this law and she could literally blast down a house and the govt. could not touch her and anyone who attacks her it is my right to deal out high and low justice." Harry explains.
After a long discussion, where Harry agrees to let them have access to his law books, they agree to let Hermione study magic and to sign the papers to allow Harry to be her magical guardian.
"If you would all place a hand on my shoulder I shall take us to Gringotts for the papers to be signed. I have to pick up some materials anyway and arrange for me to take my master in Potions, Arithmancy, and Runes so that I may take her and teach her. Gringotts is a certified Masters station for the I.C.W. And have a time compression chamber where I can take those three Masters in about 15 min. " Harry explains as they all grab on and he slides them to Gringotts.
Once he arrives he leads the Grangers up to a teller. When it is their turn to speak Harry approaches the teller.
"Master teller, I need to arrange Magical Guardianship for this young Muggleborn to be assigned to myself as High Lord Peverell. I also need to take three Masteries using your time chamber and am willing to pay for immediate use up to triple the going rate per mastery. The Masteries I wish to take are in Runes, Arithmancy, and Potions." Harry states diplomatically.
"Of course High Lord Peverell. Griphook will take you to the testing area while her parents fill out the necessary paper work. The fees for this will be deducted from you vault."
Thirty minutes later the group slides back to the Grangers with every thing done. Harry now has guardianship of Hermione's magical education and is responsible for all costs occurred. This had shocked and upset the Grangers until they were told by the Goblin helping them that Harry brings in more from his investment and interest then some small countries as each Galleon is equivalent to 5 pounds. The elder Grangers did some quick math and found out that just the Peverell family vault gave Harry Billionaire status. Harry also past all three Masteries and had picked up the needed materials to get Hermione ready for Potions which would be their first focus.
