Sorry for not updating in a while, someone I knew passed away last week, and that left me with 3 deaths this year so far. I broke down for a bit and lost all motivation to write, and then my mom has been saying things borderline suicidal, so I've been trying to help her a bit, and many other things have happened all at once. However, writing is an escape for me, so I sat down and just decided to write my worries away, instead of playing the sims...
Thank you to Tia for beta reading for me! I don't know what I would do without you, because English sometimes flies out the window when I need it the most.

After leaving Gringotts, the three of them headed into Flourish and Blotts, the only bookshop in sight. Upon entering the store, Tony immediately grabbed a basket and get to exploring the shelves. Harry trailed off after him, making sure he didn't purchase every book in the store, while Steve followed the signs that lead him to the 'muggle' section. He thought that it would have been books from the non-magical world, but rather they were books for parents with magical children. Deciding to help Tony out he read along all the spines and picked out a few that he thought would actually be helpful. He picked out 4 of the 15 available books. The titles read, 'The Magic Gene: What you need to know', 'Why your tech won't work around your kid', 'All magic and no sense', and 'Wizarding Laws for the Muggle-born parent's.'

While Steve had gone off by himself, Tony and Harry zigzagged between all the different rows of bookshelves. Tony wanted to get every book available, but Harry told him no on some, as they weren't going to be much help. He didn't even recognise half the books that were being placed inside the basket. He did see a few well-known ones, or ones he even had himself, such as 'A History of Magic' and 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.' Harry promptly steered Tony away from any of Lockhart's books, saying they were a bunch of rubbish and full of false tales.

Steve eventually found the two and added his few books to the pill. Tony gave him a slap on the back and a big grin while saying thanks. I guess the old man can still read. They spent at least an hour and a half in the shop before Steve and Harry forced Tony to the counter. The person behind the counter had wide eyes at the contents, but that quickly turned to greed, at the price that would have to be paid. Tony not caring about the price, despite Harry's insistence that they maybe didn't need so many books, shot him a cheeky grin before paying the full amount. Tony was handed a small package and told that when opened it would return to normal size and weight.

When the three of them finally left, they stopped at a café on the way back to the apartment block. They enjoyed their food there, but Tony wouldn't stop complaining about the coffee and how weak the taste was. Steve was mocking him whenever he complained and told him to suck it up, which lead to a heavily sexual comment on Tony's behave. Meanwhile, Harry was in a fit of giggles the whole time, Tony and Steve would have normally stopped bickering with each other, but seeing him so happy, they kept it up.

By the time they got back, it was starting to sink into Harry's head that Tony was now, officially going to be looking after him. He knew that Tony had told him that when they first met. However, it had never really sunk in. He was still expecting to go back and live with the Dursley's, despite Petunia being in a coma and Vernon being dead. He was free from the abuse; had even trusted three different adults with his abuse. He felt that his life was finally turning around for the better.

"Welcome back sirs." Jarvis greeted them once they stepped foot into their temporary home. "I have found a home phone number belonging to the Ganger's with a daughter of the name Hermione."

"Thank you Jarvis! Tony, can I please call Hermione?" Harry asked, basically jumping onto Tony, but unable to because of the cast around his arm.

"Sure kid, you can use my phone, and while you do that, I can start on those books," Tony said as Steve placed the package full of books on the coffee table in the lounge that over-looked the city below. Tony gave Harry his phone, unlocking it as he handed it over. Harry not really knowing how to work a phone fumbled around on it a bit before Jarvis spoke up.

"Young Harry, would you like me to place a call through to the number?"

"Yes please." Harry placed the phone to his ear as he heard a ringing sound start. Meanwhile, Tony made his way over into the lounge and watched as Steve opened up the package. Steve was immediately covered in a pile of books as they poured out of the bag that had been sitting on the table. Tony had a good chuckle at him before he plonked himself onto the couch and started to organise the books based on their titles.

"Hello, this is Dr Jean Granger speaking." Hermione's mom answered Harry phone call.

"Hello Mrs, I mean Dr Granger, is Hermione there? I'm Harry Potter, a friend of hers from school."

"She is here, let me just call her." Harry heard a faint call for Hermione to come downstairs before her mother continued talking. "I've heard lots about you from Hermione, it's nice to know that she has finally made some friends. Ah, here she is."

"Hello?" Hermione asked into the phone.

"Hi 'Mione."

"Harry! How are you? Why are you calling, I thought your family didn't allow you around any of their things? How did you even get my number?"

"I'm good Hermione, despite the fact that we were in a car crash on the way back to the house from the train. Uh, my uncle died in the crash and my aunt is in a coma in ICU at the moment. Dudley has gone to stay with his aunt."

"If you need somewhere to stay, I'm sure my parents won't mind." Hermione cut in.

"It's all good Hermione, you won't believe what has happened since then, and it will probably answer your other questions."

"Go on, I'm listening, but I swear Harry James Potter, if you have gotten into trouble, you will be hearing it from me!"

"Jeez 'Mione, have a little faith in me." Harry took a deep breath, as he sat down next Tony on the couch. "So, apparently my dad isn't my dad, well he kind of is but isn't, and my real father heard about the car accident, and came to get me. We just got back from the Goblins, he is now officially my father in the magical world, we still have to do the papers in the Muggle world."

"Harry…" Hermione said in a gasped breath. " Don't tell me that James was actually your mother, I know wizards can get pregnant with certain spells, it never happens on the off chance."

"No, he's not. Merlin, I didn't even know wizards could get pregnant, but no. Apparently, James wasn't able to have children, so one night mom and dad were at some event where they met my Father and asked him to help because apparently, he looks similar to my Dad. James even went and blood adopted me to make sure that I became his heir. You won't believe the houses that I am heir to, but most of them are just empty names."

"Harry?"

"Yes?"

"Who is your biological father?"

"His name is Tony Stark," Harry heard Hermione gasp at that.

"Harry, do you know who he is?"

"Apparently, he some kind of superhero."

"Harry, Tony Stark is one of the richest people on this planet, and he is a genius. He saved the world last year from an alien invasion."

"Really?"

"Yes, Really!"

"Well, at least he can protect me from Voldemort then."

"Honestly Harry, he and his team can protect you from anything!"

"Cool. Hermione? Do you want to come over this weekend? I think I can finally have friends over!"

"Sure Harry, let me ask my parents first. Phone me again tomorrow and I'll have an answer for you."

"Okay, talk with you tomorrow! Bye 'Mione"

"Bye Harry." The called ended and Harry turned to Tony with a beaming grin.

"Tony, can Hermione come over this weekend?"

"Sure she can kiddo, I should be able to make some phones for the two of you before then," Tony said, briefly looking up from all the books he was arranging according to what he thought was important.

"You don't have to do that for us!" Harry exclaimed.

"Just because I don't have to, doesn't mean I don't want to. Plus, I need to fiddle with stuff."

"Okay" With that Harry helped Tony sort the books, and tried to input as much as he could. Once the books had all been sorted out, Tony grabbed a book that was deemed important and started reading it. He at some point went into his zone and when both Steve and Harry couldn't get a reaction out of him, the two of them headed to the kitchen. They sat there in silence for a while, before Steve spoke up, asking about any good things he experienced and even asked about the Voldemort guy. Harry eagerly answered all of Steve's questions and told him of his good memories from Hogwarts. They spent the rest of the day in the kitchen just talking, and once the conversation drifted from Harry and onto Steve and his life before he was Captain America. Harry also got to hear about Bucky, who was somehow related to him, and still alive, though none of them knew why he should have died. They eventually ordered some Thai for dinner and got Tony to eat a little bit before he went back to reading. Tony being the speed reader that he was, had already finished two books by the time they all went to bed. Whatever the future held for them was yet to be seen, Fate, however, was in a good mood and thought they all deserved their happiness and was going to leave them alone for now.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter, please feel free to leave a comment.
Sorry, this isn't at least 2k words, but I don't think I could've written more then I did for now.
I also have another fanfiction idea brewing in my head, mainly because I have not been able to find one that is completed or even long, so I might start writing it at the same time as this one
