“How long?” Hermione asked, it was Friday afternoon and she was dressed in a grey dress, tall black boots that Tony loved and her hair was left down.
“I don’t know” Draco whispered, his head was lowered and the tears in his eyes were real “You know my father, one day he says two weeks and the next he claims to be healthy enough to live the next ten to fifteen years” He let out a bitter laugh “It’ll all boil down to one day walking in to his bedroom and finding him dead”
“I am so sorry” Hermione whispered, she lowered her head and wiped away some tears from her cheeks.
“How can you cry?” Draco asked her, tears of his own on his cheeks “He was a monster to you, I’m not even sure how I cry for him”
“He’s your father, Draco” Hermione told him, moving her chair closer to him and taking his hands “No matter what happened he is still your father, the person who helped give life to you and you love him and I am so sorry”
Draco closed his eyes and let more tears fall down his cheeks. Hermione pulled him against her, hugging him closely and letting him let out his emotions. Tony, who’d been on his way to the building, stopped in his tracks and looked at the tiny café that was near them. Hermione had her arms wrapped around the little blonde fuck, Draco Malfoy. He looked comfortable enough with his head against her shoulder, his hands running over her back, hers mirroring his. Tony felt that sharp, stinging pain of jealousy ripping through his heart and stomach. Of course she’d go after the younger Malfoy, he’d been her friend, he was good looking, rich not that that ever mattered to her and he was magical. He was married though, that gave him pause as Hermione never struck him as the kind to go after a married man. He let out an irritated huff he stomped away and in to the Visi-Ban building to get back to work.

Hermione walked in to the office about ten minutes after Tony had gotten back. She greeted Bruce who raised his brows at her and she smiled over at Jarvis who nodded at her. It was an oddly cold greeting from both men, but it was nothing compared to the nasty glare she got from Tony when she entered their office. He was sitting at his desk with his magically enhanced cell phone to his ear talking quickly and quietly but still managed to give her a death glare. That was odd. Hermione shook her head and walked to her own desk sitting down and going through the stack of letters waiting for her. She’d accumulated over a dozen letters in the one hour she’d been gone to lunch, there were questions from clients, interested parties/potential clients one from Hogwarts and one from Malfoy Manor. She opened the one from Malfoy first.
Hermione-
I know that you are likely having lunch with my son at this very moment. So I know that by the time you read this, Draco will have already told you about my condition. You will already know that I am dying. With this thought in my mind I wanted to extend a congrats on your attack on my company. To be perfectly honest I’ve just been waiting for someone stronger than I to wipe out Malfoy Inc. give us a proper spanking and then put us in the corner.
Now, time for some truth on my side. Something that I’ve been noticing for the last couple of years, my son is going to turn in to me when he has his own child. He will work too much and not be there and then he’ll just continue the vicious circle, I hadn’t given that much thought until shortly after you left us and when I got my results back confirming that I was dying. I can’t just sign my business over to you, Draco would never forgive me for that and everyone would assume that the Malfoy’s are weak.
It is with this thought in mind that I tell you that Draco is trying to find a weak spot in your company. I’m the one that gave him the information to work with, I told him that Stark is in love with you and you love him back. You don’t hide it well. I also told him that Banner is hiding something and the robot loves you as well. He is going to try to use those jealousies and insecurities to chip the glass of your company and then watch you guys tear yourselves down.
With that information I am sure that you can think of something interesting to do. Good luck. I do so love playing both sides of the spectrum.
-Lucius Malfoy.
“You think I’m having a secret and probably overly sexual relationship with Draco, don’t you?” Hermione asked Tony as he put his phone down. He looked at her with wide and still angry eyes before his expression softened a little but also became filled with hurt “Read this” He took the letter from her and started reading it while she picked up the letter from Hogwarts.
Dear Hermione Granger-
As you know I have been striving to help (mostly pureblooded) students become more than they think they can be. You are the most influential woman in the wizarding world at this moment, the fact that you are so young is a plus. When I took the school over from the Ministry I fought to make a day when wizarding universities from all over the world could come and meet potential students. This is the third year in a row that I’ve been able to do this and I would like you to come do a speech for the students benefit.
Please get back to me as soon as you’re able.
Thank you,
Minerva McGonagall
Headmistress
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
P.S. I look forward to being able to finally see you after so long and hope we can have tea one way or another.
“I am so sorry” Tony said, the feeling of jealousy disappearing and being replaced by humiliation and stupidity “I saw you hugging him and I thought that maybe…I guess it doesn’t matter”
“Here” She handed him the other letter because she wasn’t really sure what else to do “I don’t know what decision to make”
“I’ll go with you” Tony said, he knew she hadn’t gone back to the school since her last actual year because the memories of the war were too hard “You won’t be alone”
“Thank you” Hermione whispered, she walked over and wrapped her arms around his middle “So…what are we going to do about Draco?”
“Beat him at his own game” Tony told her, his voice vibrating in his chest against her ear “Draco thought he could use his charm to win you away from me and take down the business we can do the same”
“You’re going to charm him?” Hermione asked with a grin.
“Nope” He smirked “I’ve got another idea and now I’ve got to make a phone call”
“Tony” Hermione turned away from her desk to look at him.
“Yeah?” He answered.
“I’m going to give that speech” She told him “You want to be my date that day?”
“I’d love to” He grinned.
