Lucius was in his favorite seat in his study at Malfoy Manor. Draco was pacing around, he’d come in talking about their newest losses and how it was pissing him off. He was bad-mouthing Hermione but now that the dust had settled, Lucius was able to mentally congratulate Hermione on her business attack. Only she’d be able to pull off an attack of that size. His silver eyes locked on his pacing son and he wondered how much of this performance was actual anger and how much was for his benefit. Draco had never made it much of a secret how he felt about the business and now with the latest news Lucius had gotten from the Healers, he wondered if maybe they should just let it go.
“Do you even care about the business, Draco?” Lucius asked “We could just sell out and you could do whatever you want to do and give all your attention to Astoria and the family you’ve been trying to have”
“What if she’s barren?” Draco hissed “And of course I want to keep the family business…and to drive Hermione in to the ground”
“She is merely challenging you” Lucius snorted “That’s what’s got your hair standing on end…and I told you not to marry Astoria because she may be barren but you did anyway so you have to live up to the vows you took, child or no child”
“How can you be so calm?” Draco stopped his pacing and looked at his father “How can you be so calm when she is ripping away everything that you’ve been working for your whole life?”
“You know what my father told me, when he was dying?” Lucius said by way of answering “He told me that when the end was in view suddenly everything else stopped mattering. You no longer cared what happened in your business, what happened to your enemies…you simply just existed”
“What are you saying?” Draco asked, his hands were shaking because he knew what he was saying, Lucius had been sick since the end of the war but he didn’t want to accept it.
“You know what I’m saying” Lucius answered “I’m not losing sight of the business, I’m just wondering if maybe I should focus more on you and your mother than clients and meetings, like maybe I need to get my priorities sorted out a little”
Draco looked at his father but this time he was really looking at him. He’d known that the reasoning behind marrying Hermione and producing an heir wasn’t simply because they were pureblooded like he’d said, it was because Lucius Malfoy wouldn’t be around for long. Draco looked at the man who had abused him mentally and emotionally and occasionally physically. He had risen to be a monster that haunted the younger Malfoy and then fallen to the dirt beneath Draco’s feet only to drag himself up again. But now he just looked…tired and old, his face was grey, his eyes were dull and lifeless and even his hair was lank though it was clean. He’d lost a lot of weight and Draco wondered briefly how no one else saw it. But that was simply answered, his father kept a charm over himself to make him appear healthy and terrifying all the time. The amount of energy that must take was wearing on him greatly.
“No” Draco said, his voice hard “I won’t give up on the business until it gives up on me!”
“Fine” Lucius breathed.
“But I’ll take over from here” Draco said, causing his father to raise his eyebrows “Honestly, I can do it. You need your rest and you need to stop wasting your energy on holding up a charm all the time. Stay home, I will bring any problem I have to you and then you can help”
“Okay” Lucius said, proud of his son for his new-found drive “Where do you want to begin?”
“How do I fight her?” Draco asked “How do I take down Visi-Ban?”
“I want to show you something” Lucius said, he stood from his spot and walked over to a window on the other side of the room “Look at the window, strong right?”
“Yes” Draco agreed, he jumped when his father smashed a paper weight in to the glass, chipping it slightly “What the fu…”
“Now look” Lucius said. He pointed to the chip, put his finger against it and they watched the glass spider web out across the whole surface.
“Okay…” Draco said confused. Lucius looked at him for a moment and then pressed his palm against the spider webbed glass and pushed a little harder and the window broke, the shards falling to the ground below.
“The glass is indeed strong” Lucius said “Until there’s one chip in it, then it spider webs, weakens the rest of the window until one little push completely breaks it”
“So what are you saying exactly?” Draco asked.
“Visi-Ban looks strong” Lucius said “And it is strong, but there are problems there with that little mismatched group of theirs, I could tell when we met them”
“Like what?” Draco asked him as they sat back down.
“Stark is in love with Hermione” Lucius answered “I think she has feelings for him too. That Banner is hiding something, maybe something he doesn’t want the others to know about and the robot…I think he loves Hermione too” He smirked “Just think about it, if you could use those feelings against them that may be a big enough chip and then you just sit back and let them spider web themselves, after that it’s only a matter of time before something presses against the spider web that is their life and company and they will explode, just like the glass”
“Brilliant” Draco said “I will see what I can do”
“You know what to do” Lucius told him, taking a sip of his drink “The entirety of Visi-Ban’s male population seems to be wrapped completely around Hermione. You and her were friends once upon a time but if I know men like Stark they don’t take well to good looking, younger and rich men sniffing around the women they’re interested in”
“I’m married” Draco pointed out.
“Tony Stark and you aren’t too different” Lucius informed him “The only difference is that you got married and he hasn’t. He’ll know that a man like you…like me and like him aren’t likely to be happy with just one woman and therefor will need another one, understand what I’m saying?”
“Of course” Draco smirked.

“It wasn’t a daydream” Hermione informed Luna and Ginny as they sat in her living room with their glasses of wine, Luna had just told the girls what happened in the bathroom with Jarvis “It was a memory”
“A memory?” Luna repeated while Ginny laughed.
“We had just gotten our first client” Hermione explained “We were all drinking, except Jarvis of course, Tony was flirting with me and Bruce was flirting but Jarvis was not…and next thing I know I was lying in Jarvis’s bed” Ginny giggled “Which wasn’t all that odd because I always slept in his bed but that night…well…I was feeling frisky and there he was”
“So you taught him how to finger you?!” Luna gasped while Ginny laughed so hard she all but fell over “What else did you teach him?”
“Nothing” She said “I swear to God, I also promise you that he never got hard during it, I figured that his...er…manhood was given to him as like an accessory”
“Like a bracelet or earrings” Ginny said in a mock serious tone that made Hermione giggle.
“Well” Hermione said “He is an Android, how the bloody hell would it get hard and can he…you know cum like a regular man?!”
“Before” Luna held up a hand to Ginny “You make a joke let me just say that Jarvis also seemed to think it was an accessory. He was probably more shocked about it getting hard than anyone else and he had no clue how to take care of it”
“So naturally” Ginny said making a stroking motion “Luna just had to show him how to take care of it”
“Shut up!” Luna exclaimed “I am a sexually active and adventurous woman and that was the most awkward thing I ever had to do!” She shook her head hard “He was completely unsure of what to do, when I grabbed his erection he nearly fell to the floor and had to hold himself up on the counter…and lets not forget that he’s one of my bosses!” The girls fell in to a fit of giggles as Luna defended herself. Then there were the normal questions on how big he was and then exclamations about how he could hurt a woman with that monster.
“What I don’t get” Ginny said “Is that Hermione asked Natasha if Jarvis had a penis and she said not likely because then Tony would have to compete with him too…but he did give him one and on top of that he gave him like the biggest dick ever, if you’re not exaggerating, Luna”
“I’m not” Luna said “I have had sex with some men that have had the biggest dicks I’ve ever seen and his made my vagina hurt just thinking about it”
“Now I want to see it” Ginny said while Hermione nodded her agreement.
“Leave him be” Luna snapped “Poor guy was so confused and possibly even a little scared”
While they were laughing and talking about different points of interest an owl came to the window. Hermione got up and fed it a few treats before it took off in to the night, it wasn’t late but usually no one sent her an owl after six at night. She wondered if maybe it was Tony asking her out or needing to spend some alone time talking about a new business venture. Her stomach fluttered at the thought and her thighs pressed together, it had been too long since she’d gotten laid. If she were honest with herself she’d know it was because it was Tony that made her so excited.
Hermione-
I know that we are technically supposed to be enemies now but I miss my friend. I miss laughing and joking with you, going over plans for the future of Malfoy, Inc. with you. I made so many mistakes the biggest one being that I let my father use me as a pawn against you and I allowed him to chase you away.
I know that our friendship was only ever just that, friendship but it could have been so much more than that. If I hadn’t been such an idiot you’d be my wife now, Malfoy Inc. would be booming and maybe there would be a baby on the way. Hermione, there is something happening now and I would like to talk to you about it in person, please say that tomorrow we could go out and chat, I miss you.
-Draco.
Hermione raised her brows and wondered what it was that he wanted to talk about. She wrote a quick note back saying that she would love to meet him the next day at noon for lunch and that she was looking forward to it. Then she walked back to the partying girls and joined in on the fun they were having.
