A/N: I know it's been a while from my last upload, but what can I say. Life goes on and sadly I have a full-time job and a part-time job and can only write in my free time. that being said I tried to put something together for you all as my inbox has been hit with a bunch of love (comments/ reviews) with a P.S. of "please update soon" in most of them. But please try to remember that this story is not written ahead of time, I write it as I go and the first people to see it after it is done is you.

Also, some of you were confused as to why the potions class was the "1st one". The reason for this is that I would like to think that there were others previously and that they didn't brew in them but were shown proper safety protocol (I.E.: how to hold a knife, what is chopping compared to dicing, how to start a potions base.) and this would be hands on so wouldn't use the book and would push the first real brewing day back until after Halloween. It would also give an explanation as to why Snape is always so mad. He taught them how not to blow things up, but they still do it. I hope that answers that question.

"I think I figured it out LAIL, we should start with a apothecary. The twin's won't be ready to open their shop till they have an inventory set up and we already have plans to roll out computers to the goblins. But the tech business is not going to blow up for a bit. At least until word gets around, and for that we only have some stark phones that we can make pre-paid then sell them at min prices and the computers that will need installation. Anyway, I am rambling, oh yeah, an apothecary! From what I have seen from the potions books we can have you make most of the potions and hire a potions master to make specialty potions that need magic infusion or tear/blood of the brewer."

Hermione looked up from her tablet that she was looking through her proposal that she was getting ready to send into her dad for his feedback before allotting money into the plan.

"OH, and I had this idea for doing fridge/freezers for the magical world too. They would need a ward stone that could collect ambient magic and use that to power ruins that could cool or freeze depending on what you need. Merlin there is so many openings for new products that just need a little bit of muggle brain power to make happen."

LAIL pinged interrupting Hermione's thoughts. "My lady, you may have to stay with your master this holiday. It seems that a explosion has cause Mister Hogan to get injured and your father is not taking it well."

LAIL pulled up the video of Tony talking to the reporters telling the Terrorist called the Mandarin that he wasn't afraid of him then proceeding to give up his home address.

"DAD YOU ARE A BLOODY MORON!" Hermione shouted before looking for her phone and walking out of her lab to her masters that she installed next to hers. Hermione started pounding on the door.

"Mia! If you don't have someone dying with you, I may just murder you! You almost made me blow up one of my potions!" Snape shouted at the door as Hermione just waltzed in after he shouted her name.

"I need to run to Hogsmead, my dad did something stupid and I need to call him and ream him a new one before telling him to move now." Hermione explained as she pulled up the video on her phone to show Snape.

Snape flicked his hand over his potions putting them in stasis before grabbing his cloak and putting on his resting bitch face. "What are we waiting for, lets go yell at your fool of a father. Honestly! Did he forget he has a child that was looking forward to spending the holidays with him? When your done with him hand me the phone. I have a few words I would like to tell him too."

Snape shot Hermione a smirk before walking out of the lab with her on his heels.

When they got to the 3 broomsticks Snape rented out a room for a few hours as what had become the usual when they came down. The first time he did she looked at him incredulously until Hermione explained that she was there to send in her Muggle homework and to sit some of her lectures. From then on, she left room 2 open just for them whenever she would need it.

Before they even got into the room Hermione had her phone out. Hermione's phone was ringing only for JARVIS to answer.

"Good afternoon, Miss Mia. Mr. Stark is unable to come to the phone at the moment due to an unexpected visitor to the mansion. If you wish I can pass on a message to him when he is no longer busy."

"You bet your ass I want to leave him a message! J, you tell him that he may be my father, but he is a fucking moron! How many fathers forget that they agreed to have their child home for the holidays only to threaten a terrorist and give out the address of the place that said child was to go for the holidays! Not only do I now no longer get to come home for the holidays but now my master wants to ring his neck. I understand that he was upset about Happy, I am too but Happy could have been taken to a magical hospital if Dad hadn't made a big stink about it. If he had just held it in, we could have had Happy back by now, but Noooo he had to act like a child and now Happy has to suffer in a normal hospital. Also tell him that I will be in town for another hour to pick up some things for my owl so he needs to call me back by then or I will have to wait for my next trip before I ream him out again."

Hermione finally stopped ranting to take a breath. "Also, J tell him that my master wants to talk to him so he should call me back soon. My master can be a scary man when angry, so the sooner he calls back the better."

Hermione hung up the phone and walked back out to the main bar where her master was still talking to Rosmerta. Hermione waited for a pause in their conversation over the uses of alcohol in potion making to capture Snapes attention.

"Master, my father is not answering phone calls, J routed me to leave a message. Something about him having visitors. Can we stay in the village for another hour before returning to the castle? Just to give him a chance to call back.

"Very well apprentice, I need some more ever-pine slugs and some flobberworms for the first years to collect the slime from. Mr. Longbottom blew up the terrarium we held them in yesterday." Snape replied with a nod.

Hermione could tell that Snape was just making a reason to comply with her request. Knowing that Hermione wouldn't calm down until she talked to her dad. After collecting Hermione's owl treats and the regents for the potions classroom they decided to stop and get some chocolates from honeydukes to send to Happy. He had said they were the best in the Magical world and as a Stark Mia couldn't not give Happy the best. Afterall Happy was basically a stark as far as Hermione was concerned. Hermione walked out of the shop with armfuls of bags with different candies, not knowing what Happy would like she bought one of everything.

By the time they were about to head back to the castle Hermione got a notification from LAIL. "What the HELL! Master, my dad! His house was destroyed, someone shot missiles at it! They can't find him! Pepper told the police that he was in the house…" Hermione said as she looked up at Snape, tears started running down her face. Snape bent down to Hermione and wrapped his arms around her and let her cry it out before shrinking her shopping, putting it in his pocket than lifting her up in his arms and carrying her back to the castle.

A/N: I am soooo sorry! This is short and it took forever to post, and I am sorry of for it, but life has been busy for me. As a 24hour PCA I am always busy now a days and then I was super tired and had no energy to devote to this story. Next chapter may have some time jumps, to the main points from IM3 and some interactions with Harry. That is my plan anyways, things may change by the time I actually get to it.
