A/N: I am so sorry for being away for a long time. Since the last time I posted my aunt has lost her battle with cancer and has passed. We have been busy taking care of services and getting her affairs in order. In between all the events going on I have been writing notes of where I want this story to go but I haven't had time to full them out till now. Hopefully, we can get a lot of writing done and get some regular updates again.

Xx H.G. Still xX

While sitting with the twins and eating her breakfast Hermione noticed that Harry and Ron walked into the Hall. Both boys were half asleep but where looking like they were trying to wake up. The moment that Ron started eating like an animal again Hermione made up her mind. Someone had to have a hand in this and although Hermione was truly a snake, she had a terrible helping people thing in her system.

"Excuse me boys I need to go talk to heir potter."

Hermione said to the twins before standing up and walking over to Harry.

"Excuse me Heir Potter would I be able to have a few moments of your time, I wish to speak with you in private. Would you mind following me. I happen to know of an empty classroom near here that would work."

"um, sure, I guess. Here let me grab a few pieces of toast and we can go."

Harry responded before following her out of the hall. Toast wrapped in a napkin in his hand.

When they got to the classroom Hermione turned to Harry as he set his food on one of the desks.

"Ok Harry, here is the deal. I am going to help you, not because I like you or anything but because I think someone is trying to sabotage you. The human animal you call Ron I believe is in on it."

"Hey, Ron is my friend! Don't-"

Harry started to yell back at her before she cut him off.

"Harry listen to me before you think I am just another stuck up bully. I am trying to help you here. Think about this. You have seen a lot of people that grew up in this community act like stuck up brats right. Well think about it, how would you act if someone from a different country came in and started telling you that everything you know is wrong and backwards. You would do what you just did when I insulted Ron. Right."

"yeah I guess." Harry said softly slightly ashamed

"Well back to what I was saying, I think someone was trying to sabotage you. By not teaching you these things. I know that a lot of times this is done to muggleborns to make them seem inferior in our new culture but someone should have informed you seeing as you are supposed to be this great hero or what not. So I think whoever is pulling the strings wants you to make faux-pas to change this world for the worse. I don't know who it is but that is now your issue, what I will help you with is this."

Hermione pulled out 2 extra copies of the books she brought about wizarding manners and the sacred 28 and gave them to Harry.

"Read these and after you are done apologize to Heir Malfoy, tell him you are sorry for disrespecting his honor. That you didn't know about proper wizarding manners until today and that although you do not want to have a friendship with him at this moment you would not want to burn that bridge before you know where it might lead. That might lead to a more amicable relationship with both Malfoy and the other purebloods that are in his circle of influence."

Hermione waited till Harry who was still looking at the books nodded before continuing.

"Also, you may want to distance yourself from Weasley the youngest. I think he is in puppet master's pocket about keeping you in the dark. I know for a fact that the Weasley family is taught proper manners because I have talked with the twins all morning and they told me that it was something their father was adamant about them all learning. But with the way that Ron is acting its like he never learned how to eat while using silver were let alone chewing with his mouth closed. So, there is something up there. If you need a friend that you could be able to trust I would suggest Heir Longbottom. He seems to be the trustworthy type."

Harry nodded again but Hermione was starting to doubt that he was listening now. Hermione decided to test to see if he was.
"I would offer my hand in friendship, but I don't know if you will want to be my friend after I leave the lions den."

Harry started to nod again before stopping and his head shot up to look at her.

"Hermione what do you mean your leaving the lions den. Are you in trouble? Are you leaving school? What happened?"

Hermione started laughing confusing Harry.

"No Harry I am not in trouble and I am not leaving school. I was just placed in the wrong house, I was supposed to be in another house because I am the Heir to one of the founders and because there is a jinx on the hat I was not allowed to be in the house of my ancestors. That being said I have teachers working on fixing the mistake. Also, I noticed you completely missed my offer of friendship to you if you would put house difference aside. As you can tell I am not snotty all the time just in public because it's necessary if I want to have the network I will need to launch a business when I am done with my schooling. Normally I am really laid back, I mean you will never see me more myself then when I am in my lab. I can't wait till I get permission to set it up. Anyways, I have rambled enough now I think."

Harry was staring at Hermione; he had never seen her more normal then just now.

"I am sorry about that. I would love to be your friend Hermione. Thank you for looking out for me. I will take what you said into consideration and read the book you just gave me. Oh, and I will keep an eye on Ron. But we should probably get to class, we don't want to be late on our first day."

"Sure, lets go Harry. Oh, and after your done with the books you should share them with any of your dorm mates that are muggle born or atleast muggle raised. The more that are informed the less disadvantage they will be at in our new world."

Hermione said with a wink as she went to open the door. Harry nodded putting his last piece of toast in his mouth but a smile on his face. He had gained a true ally in his new world not one that got mad that he had money like Ron did on the train.

The 2 of them headed back to the great hall where the twins were waiting for them, having already told Hermione that they would walk her to her first class to make sure that she didn't get lost. They nodded to both of the first years before saying.

"come on Firsties, let's get you to McGonagall before your late."

Xx T.S. Finally! xX

"Sir, it seems that you have an email from Miss. Mia"

Jarvis said over the intercom of Tony's phone while he was packing up his kit for the plane.

"What's my mini Mia got to say J?"

Tony replied while sealing his bag. He and Pepper were getting ready to head back to the states now that Mia was going to be in school for months.

"It seems that Miss Mia has found another business that she is wanting to back even before getting her lab set up. Although she as stated that she has requested space to place her lab. She states that she would get 25% equity in their new company for the startup funds plus 50% of profits from any shared patents. The company she didn't name but has asked for a splinter fund named 3W that I would assess could be the new companies' name. It would seem the young miss is already up to mischief as the sorting hat seems to have placed her in the wrong house and asks us/Happy to look up the linage of a family named Gaunt as it seems she is secondary Heir to that line and wants to know about it."

"Wow when Mia gets an idea in her head, she just charges in doesn't she. Ok well, make the split account but put a limit on withdrawals, if they need to take out more then the limit, they need Mia's permission. Hopefully, she knows what she is doing with this new company but with the concessions they made I would assume that she does. Pass on the family name to Happy. He can enter the Magical area while we can't without having Mia with us. Go ahead and let Mia know that we are going to follow through with what she asked and let her know me and Pep are headed back to the states. If she needs anything she can always ask and that we love her."

"Message Complete sir, sending it now. Shall I hold all your calls until you're in the air sir."

Jarvis said as Tony was getting into his car, Pepper was already on the plane as she left from a meeting instead of leaving from the apartment above the stark building.

"Yeah J, you know the routine. Emergency only till on the plane then all calls blocked till we are cruising."

"Yes sir."

Tony started muttering under his breath about hating that they were rushing because Pepper had set up a meeting with some company called AIM at the Miami HQ.
