A/N: Spoiled you all with 2 chapters in a row but I couldn't stop myself, so I kept going and now you get a 3rd in the same month. Enjoy!

Xx Still H.G. xX

"Forgive me my lady but I need to remind you about your appointment with Professor McGonagall. You may want to be sure all parties are available and in attendance."

LAIL interrupted the hug that had gone from loving to kind of weird as both of them really did not do emotions all that well.

"OH, that's right. Dad, would you be able to be here tomorrow at 2 pm? I have a bit more information for you involving my extended schooling, but I cannot tell you about it without a professor from this school that is offering me enrollment. Although what I can tell you is that it is a primary schooling so I would be going full time, any college courses would have to be online or in the summer which puts a bit of a hamper on my beating your record but if I push I should be able to beat you still… and I am rambling. Why didn't you stop me LAIL!"

"Forgive me my lady"

Tony was looking at Hermione with a small smile on his face. Her goal for academics is to beat him. Tony thought it was kind of enduring.

"Sure, I mean I did take 2 weeks out just to meet you and get to know you so I can come but won't your mom be the one that you would want here for this talk. I mean she is the one that normally handles this sort of stuff, right?"

"mum's already talked to Professor Cat, you will understand why I call her that when you meet her, but I called her up after you emailed me to see if she could come back and talk to you as you are my birth father. You should know about it in case anything ever happens you would know where I am. I mean I am not even allowed to tell you the name of this school without a professor being here, let alone trying to tell someone where to come find me."

"So, some prestigious school wants you to join them, and this school is so exclusive that you can't talk about it unless a professor is there to be sure you don't spill to many beans. Makes some sense, but that being said yeah, I will be here. I want to know as much about you as I can, I mean after all I missed years of you growing up… now I am rambling Pep, J. why didn't you stop me?"

Hermione started giggling

"I guess that is something that we have in common."

Tony looked at her than started laughing with her.

"As much as I would love for you 2 to keep bonding, we need to get settled into the London office. I know that you would like for Hermione to be able to come and see you, so we need to get things somewhat organized, so she won't be wading through our boxes."

Pepper interrupted the laughing fit feeling kind of guilty but needed to get tony to put his Iron man suits away before his daughter could come over and accidently blow up the apartment by activating one.

"Pep is right, My little Mia. I have to put away my toys before I can have friends over." Tony said with a wink to Hermione.

"Mia? Normally I do not like nicknames, but it works. You can keep it. Now go put your toys away so I can spend more time with you dad."

Tony smiled back at her.

"Hermione has to many syllables, I like to keep things as short as possible, less time on names more time to do other things. I will see you tomorrow my Mia, as you say I have toys to pick up. 2 pm tomorrow."

Tony and Pepper walked out the door to an expensive looking car with a man standing next to it.

Hermione waved to them as they pulled out of the driveway before closing the door and locking it.

"LAIL order mom and john's favorite meal from the place down the street, have it delivered 10 mins before they are due home. I am going to need to butter them up when they find out that Obie threatened them if I misbehaved…"

"it is done my lady, and might I say good luck."

Hermione just scoffed and turned to the bathroom have a bath. She needed to decompress before dealing with her mom.

Xx the Next Day xX

Hermione felt kind of bad this morning, she almost got grounded for the first time in her life. Never in her entire life did her mom get so mad that she had to walk out of a room and scream.

Helen walked into her bedroom after being told by Hermione that she and John had been essentially held as hostages without anyone ever realizing it. To top it off her poor little girl had to deal with it by herself while also dealing with her telling her to act like a normal little girl. Her little girl had to think business wise to keep her family safe! Helen grabbed a pillow off her bed and screamed into it to let off some of her frustration.

When Helen came back into the room, she was calm. She sat down at the opposite side of the table.

"Hermione, now that you have explained what has been going on, I understand why you were acting the way you did. That being said I still wish you could have a normal childhood, but it seems that is not in the cards for you. I won't interfere with you and your business deals and what not, with the exception that you are careful and that you are not overworking yourself. You are still a child; you haven't even hit your teens yet."

Helen looked to be working herself up again. Hermione took this chance to reassure her mum that it was nothing to worry herself about.

"Mum, you don't have to worry. Most of the business stuff I have going on is ran by LAIL with minimal interaction by me. I have been focusing on inventing new things and schooling. After all I have normal collage to get through as well as now magic school. Oh, and speaking of magic school, Professor Cat will be back today to explain to Tony about it, also you do not need to worry about Tony. He wants to be in my life and is willing to be responsible. I personally think its Pepper that made him straighten up, but you will not hear me complain."

Helen rolled her shoulders and tried to relax. Tony was her father and if he wanted to be in her life who was she to stop him. He had been denied the right to know about her for years. Helen would not take Hermione from him.

"That is ok, just be sure to be a proper hostess. Offer tea or coffee, also you are allowed to offer the good biscuits. Just do not overindulge yourself. I will know on your next teeth cleaning if you have any new cavities."

With that Helen smiled and Hermione smiled back as Helen turned around to go get ready for work knowing that Hermione would be safe and that is what Helen cared about.

Xx later that afternoon xX

Hermione walked into the kitchen and looked at the clock to see that its 5 minutes to 2pm so it is time to start the tea for Professor Cat and the coffee for Pepper and her Dad. (God it was weird to call him that after years of referring to him as Tony.) Knowing Tony, he would be a little late, so she started on the tea first. Hopefully, Professor Cat shows up early so she can be warned about Tony being kind of a big deal in America. 'I wonder if there is a spell, she can do to make sure Tony and Pepper can't spill the beans?'

Shortly into Hermione's pondering there is a knock on the door. Sure enough, Professor McGonagall is standing there.

"Welcome back Professor Cat, I am sorry if this interrupted any of your day to day life." Hermione said to her while waving her into the house.

"Not at all my dear, I mean it is not every day you have a father discover your existence. I have the Headmaster covering my classes so you in essence gave me an extra day off. I call that a win/win all the way around." The Professor replied while walking into the family room.

"speaking of fathers. I wanted to warn you. My father is kind of a big deal in America, Like a really big celebrity. Mix that with the fact that he is really rich also and well… he is a bit eccentric. I am not sure how well he will handle this. Also I do believe that it won't be just him but probably his Girlfriend/business partner (as she does everything for him) that we will be telling, and I think we will have to tell both as they will be funding my schooling." Hermione was slightly out of breath after getting all of that out as fast as possible.

"My, that is some warning. I am glad you said something. I will have to spell them so that they cannot speak of this to anyone outside of those that know." The Professor said with her finger on her chin looking like she was thinking about something.

Just as the Professor finished speaking there was another knock on the door. "That will be them, my father's name is Tony Stark and the woman with him will be Pepper Potts and she is the CEO of my father's company." Hermione said as she started walking toward the door.

Hermione opened the door, and just as expected Tony was standing there with Pepper but unexpectedly there was another man with them.

"Hey there kiddo, I think this is a bit of a record. 2 days in a row of showing up right on time! OH, and this is Happy. He was my bodyguard, I had him working for pepper as a chauffeur/bodyguard. I would like him to do that for you."

Happy waved his hand than stuck it out to shake Hermione's hand. "Nice to meet you miss, I will be glad to keep you safe for your father." Hermione stuck out her hand and shook his. "We are in the family room again; Professor McGonagall is already in there."

Hermione walked them into the Family room, where she had set out the tea service before the professor got there and the professor helped herself to a cup of tea while waiting. "Professor, this is my father Tony Stark, his partner Pepper Potts, and this is my new bodyguard Happy. I am an afraid I don't have a last name for him at the moment."

Happy looked a little ashamed "the last name is Hogan miss. Sorry I didn't mention it before."

Professor McGonagall looked at the 3 that entered the room than looked at Hermione and raised an eyebrow.

"That is 2 more people then I thought I would be informing today; you are going to be a handful aren't you Miss. Granger? Well might as well get to it. If you would all take a seat."

Tony and Pepper took a seat on the same couch that they sat on the day before and happy stood against the back wall so he could keep an eye on everyone in the room as well as the door. Hermione caught everyone's attention quickly before the professor could begin.

"Does anyone want something to drink before we begin? I have tea, coffee, or some water bottles if you would like."

"just a few waters would be great, Thanks Mia."

Hermione walked to the kitchen grabbed the waters and handed them out before making herself a cup of tea. She sat down on the seat next to the professor and waved her hand to let her know that they were all set.

"Well, you are all here to be told that Miss. Granger here has been accepted into Hogwarts, an invitation only private school. That being said Miss. Granger is in fact a witch and will be going Hogwarts because it is a school for Witchcraft and Wizardry."

Thankfully, no one had been drinking as Tony would definitely have done a spit take had he been. Both Tony and Peppers faces looked as if they thought the Professor belonged in a looney bin, Happy however looked as if he had just seen the light.

"Sir, what the Professor is saying is true. Magic is real. Sadly, I cannot use it, but I was born to a family that could. I am what is known as a squib. I was born Gary Happy Goyle, before I was dumped at the orphanage for not having magic. The Hogan's adopted me and a year later moved to America."

Happy never looked so happy for his new assignment. He would be back in the magical world. Tony looked like someone had just kicked his puppy.

"Happy, how come you didn't tell me that there was really magic! I feel so betrayed."

Professor McGonagall took control back over the conversation.

"Well at least we don't need to worry about her guard not knowing what is going on while protecting her. Although while she is at school, she will not be permitted to have him with her. It is after all a school not like anything to horrible will happen there." She said as she nodded to Happy before looking back at Tony and Pepper. "I understand that you are a bit of a celebrity Mr. Stark and as such you have enemies. It would be wise to have Mr. Hogan around Miss. Granger while shopping for her belongings for school, as well as yourself if you wish to see the magical world. You will be unable to visit the school as it only shows itself to magical individuals but Diagon alley is open to all if you know how to get in. I will be showing the muggle born's how to get in on the 20th, so a little under a week from now. You may come with if you would like but if you do I will ask that you meet us at an address that is close to the entrance as I will not be able to apparate with so many people."

Tony didn't even hesitate "Done. Now can you show us some of this magic now or do we have to wait? I kind of want proof."

Hermione kind of tuned them out and walked over to Happy. "So, Mr. Hogan, it seems like we are going to be getting to know each other fairly well as you are to be my guard. That being said I am very much like my father in the fact that I am smarter than most. I have finished my primary schooling and am planning to take online courses for collage while I am doing this magic schooling. That being said I will key you in to LAIL so that way you will be able to get ahold of me as I know that magic and tech. do not get along well. I had to create a synthetic plastic polymer to protect her hard drive in order for her to continue to work when I had magical outbursts while I was a child."

Happy shook his head and muttered 'great another egg head' under his breath before speaking "Miss, you may call me Happy. After all your dad does and as for contact, I will give you my phone number as well as a email address. Your dad told me you have your own A.I. so I was expecting this." Happy held out a business card with both his number and email on it. "I just want you to know, I will take care of you Miss. Mia. I may not have magic, but I do have a gun and the magical community won't know what hit them if I have to use it to keep you safe." Happy said with a smug look in his eyes saying that he meant everything he just said.

Hermione and Happy nodded to each other and looked back at Tony only to see Pepper looking faint as there was a red and gold colored bunny where Tony had been sitting.
"OH MAN, I missed her turning dad into a bunny!" Hermione whined as the Professor just chuckled

After Tony was changed back, they finished their discussion. The professor, her dad and his group all left with plans of meeting a block away from the entrance to the magical ally in less then a week. Hermione flopped on to her bed, she had not had such a busy week since she graduated high school. Hermione made plans with LAIL for the rest of the week for all her business to be taken care of so all Hermione had to do was read her collage books for her summer classes even though she could probably already test out of most of them now.

A/N: I took a few days to finish this chapter because I had to re-write some of the dialog, some I wrote was very OOC and I want to try to keep them as close to the OC as possible. That being said I thought that squib Happy would be a great in for Hermione later as I am kind of leaning to one house in particular during the sorting. Anyways see you in Diagon in the next chapter!
