I pull it out and gently press it against Hermione's temple, it's absorbed and I see her eyes flicker back and forth rapidly as she assimilated the information.

I need to find a place to set up my forge without McGonagall just walking in and shutting it all down with a few small spells.

I could try folding space inward on itself but that has containment problems, folding space is dangerous and if anyone walked into the area without permission the fold in space might cut them in half or turn them to paste.

I don't notice till Ron gets my attention that it's time for dinner.

Then I realise that the House Elves might know of somewhere I could set up the smithy.

"You go ahead, I'm not hungry"

He looked at as if I was insane.

"Madness" He grumbled, walking out.

I make my way down to the kitchens after a half hour or so for a small snack, using the Marauder's Map to find the place.

The moment I stepped in a flying object launches into me.

"The Great Mister Harry Potter Sir has come to see Dobby!"

I stare in surprise at the elf that nearly knocked me on my arse.

"When did you get here Dobby?" I ask.

"Dobby's come to work at Hogwarts! Dobby be getting paying now!"

I saw the elves around looking disgusted at the pronouncement.

"Good for you Dobby, I just came for a small snack since I didn't feel like going to the Hall tonight. Glad you're doing alright" I smile at the excitable bundle of energy.

"Of course!" Dobby rushed off  and I waited, feeling a bit awkward before he came back with a large platter. "Anythings else Dobby can help  The Great Mister Harry Potter Sir with?"

Internally I was groaning at the long name.

"Well... Know of anywhere I can set up a Smithy without anyone finding it?" I ask.

I expect him to look sad and say he can't help but instead he bounced more.

"Dobby knows the best place! The Comes and Goes Room can be whatever The Great Mister Harry Potter Sir needs!" He grabs my hand and pops me to a hall I estimate to be on the seventh floor.

On one side was a blank wall, in the other was a portrait of a guy teaching trolls to...

Dance?

"The Great Mister Harry Potter Sir just needs to walk back and forth three times while thinking of what he wants. Dobby best needed back in the kitchen for dishes!" Dobby popped away without a word.

I chuckle at his eccentricity but do as he instructed.

'I need a place to work on my Project... I need a place to work in my project... I need a place to work in my project' I pace back and forth and turn to see a dor had appeared.

Upon opening it I gasp, seeing a fairly modern metal working room.

About twice the size of the average two car garage and twice as tall as Hagrid.

On the left wall was a series of furnaces already crackling with heat.

On the back wall was a bunch of large tools I remember in a few Muggle pictures to be presses and curving tools.

To my right was a lift to hold the bike itself.

And a bunch of metals on the wall to my left against the wall the door is in.
