Hermione walked into her apartment, leaned against the door and slid down to the floor, crying. She’d wanted to be strong, hold her own and prove that she was the strongest and smartest witch of her age but at the end of the day when all was said and done Hermione Granger was merely a woman who had fallen in love and had her heart broken. After sitting on the floor for almost ten minutes she stood and dragged her tired and aching body to the bathroom and started to fill the tub with hot water, adding potions and bubbles to it and then walked back to the front door locking and warding it before doing the same to her Floo network. She hadn’t lied, she intended to talk to Luna but for the next few hours she was going to think only of herself and her own problems, she stripped in her bedroom and walked naked to the bathroom and eased herself into the hot water. Leaning her head back and relaxing finally, she closed her eyes and thought about everything that had happened.

Her mind went through all the memories she had of Tony, from meeting him, to showing him magic, the laughter and jokes, his hitting on her as well as the shameless flirting as they were starting up the business. Hermione remembered the memories of traveling to different countries with him, trying new foods and drinks, living out of her little beaded bag and him from a suit case while they wined and dined their newest investors. The memories of his face when they first entered the magical community in London visited her, he was like Ronald when they’d first gone to Honeydukes in their third year and she’d been pretty sure that he’d almost been crying from happiness. It was in China that Hermione realized that she was in love with him, they’d been eating some of the local cuisine and the faces he would make made her laugh but also made her heart soar, his laughter was like honey to her ears and she found that she wanted nothing more than to hear that sound for the rest of her life. She continued to listen to that laughter as their company grew bigger but then…it stopped, there was too much stress, too much jealousy and anger and soon…well, they became strangers to one another. The two of them trying to make something that didn’t exist work and that was impossible…but whatever it was that they’d been working towards it did exist, for her it did anyway. Hermione wondered if he ever felt anything to her or if maybe she’d been a conquest that he’d finally given up on, she’d not had sex with him so what was the sense of him even trying? She sighed and wiped at her eyes with the back of her hand, it was just her luck in life to find a guy that she’d consider to be perfect and have him be a complete prick…usual life for her.

The water finally got too cold for Hermione to stay in, she dressed in some warm pajama’s and then made a sandwich for dinner which she picked at and ended up throwing more than half of it in the trash. She had two glasses of wine though and finally sat down with the resumes she wanted to go over again, then she had promised herself that she would Floo Luna and make sure that she was okay. While Hermione was completely absorbed in her own sadness there was something nice about locking the world out and having silencing charms in place. She was alone for once, it had been a while since she’d been truly alone so, with a contented sigh Hermione pulled the first of the resumes towards her and read it. After six of the ten she brought home with her there was one thing that Hermione knew for sure, it would be a female that she hired because even though a good amount of the males were more than qualified she remembered how they’d all looked at her like she was practically edible and the last thing she needed or even wanted was to have some teenager thinking he could get ahead in the world by trying to seduce her or spreading rumors about how he did seduce her when he didn’t. She picked up the last of her resumes and smiled at the picture, it was a half-blooded witch from Slytherin house with skin so light brown she could have been considered really tan, but she had dark red hair and light green eyes. For some reason, Hermione liked the way she looked, oddly beautiful, a little cocky but there was something in her eyes that told her that this was the type of person she would want to hire for her company.

My name is Alissandra but I like to be called Lissa or Liss. I work well under pressure, I love to learn, love the idea of unity and want to be apart of something that is leading the Wizarding world in to light of the future. I want to be an assistant but am going to be heading to University in the Fall to start working towards my Magical Business Degree. I understand if you want to hire someone who is willing to stay on longer and won’t be upset that you don’t chose me but if you do, you won’t be sorry.

Hermione smiled to herself and vowed that the next day after she moved her stuff in to another office she would send a letter to Lissa Cane in hopes that she’d like to come in for a meet and greet. She smiled to herself and sent back all the other resumes before looking at the clock, she saw that it was almost nine but walked to the Floo anyway, she threw some powder in and stuck her head through. Usually, at this time of night Luna’s place was quiet and she’d be reading or maybe have Ginny over and they’d be scream-laughing at something stupid. There was screaming but it was in ecstasy not horror or amusement and Hermione should have pulled her head back immediately but was stupid and looked around to see her friend in the throes of passion with…oh god…Hermione pulled her head back and locked the network again in case Luna saw her and felt the need to talk to her which she didn’t want that at that moment. With a look of near horror she decided it was time to go to bed and prayed that she’d be able to sleep without images of Jarvis and Luna having sex!

~~~//~~~

Hermione got to the office two hours before anyone else did. She didn’t want to run the risk of anyone trying to talk her out of getting her own office because she wanted so much to stay in the office with Tony. She moved her desk, filing cabinets, white board, chairs and all her knick-knacks to the office that was at the other end of the hallway, it was smaller than the one she shared with Tony but she didn’t need a huge office and anyway her new one was much homier. Hermione slashed her wand all around and colors appeared on the walls, nice tranquil blues and light greys, the furniture was all cream colored, she made sure to place a music charm on the room so that it would play soft soothing music all day to help with her overshot nerves. There was a small room just before hers and she left it blank so that Liss, if she wanted the job, could decorate it herself as it was going to be her office for the summer. At eight she sent out a letter to Liss letting her know that she was interested in meeting her and showing her the office if she wanted to see it before making any decisions about her future. As the others entered the building, a charm placed on the front door let her know that, Hermione used a spell to collect half the work that was in Tony’s office and brought it to her own.

Tony walked into the office building with Jarvis, who was looking rather pleased with himself, and Banner who was also looking to be in a good mood. If he didn’t know any better he would say his two companions had gotten laid, he wasn’t sure if it was possible for Jarvis to have sex but he was acting like a man who’d had a rousing night of wonderful sex. He walked into his office and stopped dead, he knew that Hermione was upset but he never thought that she would actually move to a different office, his eyes danced over the empty room. His side the room was still immaculately made up but hers was completely barren, her absence echoed loudly in his ears, he walked over to his desk and sat down heavily, the weight of the world resting on his already heavy shoulders. Banner walked in to the office and looked around with raised brows before looking back at his friend with a sympathetic glance.

“So, she really moved to another office?” He said and the other man glared at him.

“What was your first clue?” Tony snapped at him “Was it what she said last night or maybe the missing desk?!”

“Whoa” Banner held up his hands “Calm down there, killer. I meant no harm I just…I don’t understand what happened”

“I went to apologize to her about the whole Steve coming here situation” Tony explained, he looked over Banners shoulder to where Luna was rubbing against Jarvis like a cat in heat before shaking his head “She was asleep on the couch with Loki!”

“Okay” Bruce said, he waited for the truly horrible part, the part that would lead to them having a horrible fight and lead to Hermione ending everything and moving to a new office “Is that it?”

“Is that it?!” Tony snapped looking at him with wide eyes “She was sleeping with fucking Loki”

“Who is currently dating a man” Bruce pointed out “A man, I may add, was over on the other couch with Luna. You pointed out that they were fully clothed and were just sleeping so what is the problem with that, it’s like a gay best friend”

“It was Loki” Tony pointed out with exasperation, his eyes flicked back to the office behind Banner’s back and he frowned. There was a young man standing in the middle of the room with a slightly uncomfortable but greatly amused look on his face as Luna, who was sitting on the desk in front of Jarvis with her legs opened, giggled while he did something to her that involved his head being up her shirt “What the fuck is going on out there?!”

“Oh” Bruce followed his gaze and smirked “Looks like your new assistant is here”

“That’s not what I meant” Tony said and Bruce grinned.

“I know” He answered “If I’m not mistaken, and I rarely am, I think that Jarvis and Miss Lovegood have discovered the joys of sex”

“But do they have to do it in the office?!” Tony snarled walking to the door.

“Oh come on” Banner laughed “They’re not having sex, they’re just…err…I’m not really sure”

“Jarvis!” Tony snarled “Luna…stop it or get the fuck out. This is a place of business not some seedy motel for you to fuck in like the night before!”

“It was my place…” Luna started.

“Same thing” Tony hissed. He found himself slammed against the wall with Jarvis’s strong hand wrapped around his throat and inch by inch he felt his body being raised off of the ground.

“Luna isn’t a whore” The Android spoke quietly while the blonde woman fluttered around him trying to get him to stop “Just because you can’t seem to figure out how to make a woman love you doesn’t give you the right to put down those of us who have!”

“What the hell is going on here?!” Hermione’s voice rang out through the tense silence in the office “Liss, please don’t judge us by these morons…hello, who are you?” She asked the boy.

“Nathan” The guy answered “I’m here for an interview for the assistant position with Mr. Stark”

“Nice to meet you, Nathan” Hermione said ‘I’m Hermione…”

“Granger, I know” He smiled “Who doesn’t know you?”

“Thank you” Hermione smiled “Please, would you and Miss Cane wait outside, please?”

“What the fuck is going on?!” Hermione exclaimed once the door was closed “We are conducting interviews for assistants today and you two are fighting like children!”

“Tony asked them, a little crudely, not to make out and be inappropriate in the office” Banner explained “Now, Jarvis is angry”

“Jarvis” Hermione said his name low and walked over to him, she leaned up and whispered in his ear, no one knew what she was saying but slowly Tony was lowered to the ground and then Jarvis turned his head to look at her and he grinned.

“Sounds good to me” He answered her before walking away from her and to his desk.

“Here are some papers about prospective investors in America” Hermione said “When my assistant is better situated in the business she will be the one to bring these to you and you wont have to see me anymore”

“Hermione…” Tony started.

“Have a good day, Tony” She said, walking out of the office.

Alissandra Cane was the dream that Hermione always wanted in an assistant. She learned very quickly and was soon helping Hermione in her office, answering memos, running to get them lunch, doing inventory of Visi-Ban Industries stock weekly, as well as making sure that things ran smoothly between the two offices. Hermione noted that Nathan was a very good assistant as well and soon the two assistance were in and out of the offices all day making sure to keep their two bosses happy and separated. Hermione knew that Liss wanted to know what had been going on and she figured that sooner rather than later the girl would ask but until then Hermione kept her mouth shut. She was sure that she had done nothing wrong in the situation but she really didn’t want to hear how happy Jarvis and Luna were when the day before Liss was hired he had been yelling at her, she was sick of being constantly compared to someone else’s relationship.

“Hermione” Liss said as she walked in, she had been calling her ‘Miss Granger’ but Hermione told her that it made her feel old so she stopped “Mrs. Malfoy is here to talk with you, she seems a bit upset by something”

“Thank you” Hermione said, wondering what it was that she could do for the beautiful aristocratic woman “Send her in”

“Of course” Liss answered “And Mr. George Weasley will be here with his assistant to present some of their inventions to you”

“When will he be here?” Hermione asked.

“An hour” She said and then walked to the door “I shall show Mrs. Malfoy in then”

“Yes” Hermione smiled. She moved things around her desk and fixed her hair before raising her eyes to the door as it opened, her greeting smile shriveled up and slid from her face as she looked at the woman before her. Astoria’s beautiful blonde hair was pulled in to a messy bun, she had no make-up on, her clothes were rumpled and she was pretty sure that they were unwashed but it was her red-rimmed eyes that caught Hermione’s attention the most.

“Hermione!” Astoria ran to her and grabbed her hands pulling her out of the chair “I need your help…I-I don’t know what to do!”

“What’s going on?” Hermione asked, though Lucius was on his last leg at this point she just knew this had nothing to do with his health “What’s happening?”

“I’m pregnant!” Astoria gasped “I’m seven weeks along…almost two full months!”

“Oh my god!” Hermione’s face split in to a smile “That’s wonderful” While smiling and exclaiming how wonderful it was there was a hollow feeling in the pit of her stomach, she’d always felt that by this age, twenty-five, Hermione always thought that she’d have a baby or be pregnant but no she was just stuck on the side of life, not really living it “Congratulations!”

“NO!” Astoria shouted “You don’t understand…I haven’t had sex with Draco in almost four months…this baby…this baby isn’t Draco’s!”
