A sea of faces looked up at the tiny witch that was standing before the podium. Hermione’s hands were clutching the top of it and she looked like she was almost out of breath but she’d yet to say anything. The tall, elderly and oddly elegant witch known as Minerva McGonagall had introduced Hermione to all the kids and teenagers that were now looking at her like she was a goddess which Tony had to agree that to him she was. Her eyes danced over each table, each face including Banner’s, Jarvis’s, Luna’s and finally settled on Tony’s, there was a brief smile and then another deep breath before she started to speak.

“My name is Hermione Granger” She started “Some of you know me because of my studies, some because of my new business but I can almost guarantee that everyone from the first year muggle-born to the seventh year pureblood knows me because of my actions in the war” Some clapped, as if they couldn’t help themselves and others nodded eagerly “My time at Hogwarts, even through the war, was amazing and something that I will never forget but I still suffer from the rages of the war that happened just seven short years ago. I knew that I wanted to help the world, to help others learn about the muggle and the magical world which is being made possible by my company Visi-Ban Industries”

“Thank you” Minerva said “I know that some of the students likely have questions, anyone want to ask something?”

“Are you married?” A seventh year Gryffindor boy asked her, winking and it made her laugh “If not, you want to be?”

“Thank you” Hermione smiled while varying students made catcalls “I am currently seeing someone”

“Who?” A girl from Ravenclaw asked.

“Me” Stark called out as he walked over, Luna gave Banner and Jarvis a confused look because they didn’t know those two were dating.

“Yes” Hermione gave him a confused look which told Luna that they hadn’t really even spoken about a relationship. According to Hermione if you were faced with a question that you didn’t really want to answer then you gave an answer to end that sort of questioning and Luna was willing to bet that she’d merely been saying that she was seeing someone so no one would push her about her personal life. Stark messed that up for her, the smirk on his face told Luna that he was quite pleased with himself but the small smile on Hermione’s face said that she wasn’t really that upset about this turn of events.

“Miss Granger” A seventh year Slytherin girl raised her arm to gain her attention even as she stood up to be seen easier “I am near the end of my time here at Hogwarts and am interested in studying business at University, every wizarding University I’ve applied to though wants me to intern for the summer to gain some knowledge of the business world” Hermione nodded to show that she was following her story “I was wondering if your company would be willing to take an intern and if so, where can I get that paperwork?”

“I currently have three positions open for interns” Hermione answered “The paperwork is right here” She waved her hand towards the table near her and a few stacks of papers as well as brochures for them to read appeared there.

“And what positions are those?” The girl asked, curiously.

“An assistant for myself, Tony and Bruce” Hermione answered, pointing at each person in turn.

“What about the other man?” A seventh year girl from the Gryffindor table asked, giving Jarvis a flirty smile which made Luna’s eyes narrow slightly, Jarvis’s eyes widen and Hermione chuckled a little.

“Jarvis is quite capable of doing everything he needs to do without assistance” Hermione answered “But either way, Miss. Lovegood is his assistant when he needs one she is very good at keeping a firm…grip on him” Luna made a choking sound, Jarvis smiled confusedly and Banner and Stark gave Hermione a confused stare.

“What do you look for in an intern?” A boy from Hufflepuff asked.

“Good grades” Hermione said immediately “Punctuality, drive, the ability to think outside of the box…”

“But more than that” Tony said “We are looking for someone who is willing to go the extra mile”

“Someone who can keep secrets, if need be” Banner added in.

“And someone who is loyal only to our business” Jarvis said.

“The thing that needs to be understood” Hermione picked up “Is that we’re a family, if one of us suffers all of us suffer, if one of us is happy we are all happy, ones success is everyone’s success and ones failures are everyone’s failures”

“A teams only as strong as a weakest link” Tony said “Think of a chain. If only one link in that chain is weak and ready to break then when it does the whole chain is broken, unusable and that’s how a good business is. If everyone is strong, loyal and has the business’s best interest at heart then there are no weak links to drag everyone else down, if you think this is you then feel free to take a brochure and an application and pass them to us before we leave or send them to us”

“But remember” Banner said as he, Jarvis and Luna joined Hermione and Tony on the platform “The early bird get’s the worm”

Minerva hugged Hermione as the students started to mill around and take brochures and applications. Many of the students were talking to Hermione and because she was the kind sweet woman that she was she made sure to touch everyone’s hands, hugging them and answering questions they had. They stood in the great hall for at least two hours before they were able to escape, Luna led Jarvis, Tony and Banner off to show them the grounds as well as the school and regale them with stories about her time there. Hermione walked off with Minerva for a much needed tea, they talked about Hermione’s job with the Malfoys, then in New York and now her new business and then her love life, which the younger witch attempted to gloss over. Minerva McGonagall wouldn’t allow it and by the end of the day, when Hermione was looking for Tony and her friends she’d told her old mentor all about her want to love Tony and her fear of it as well. The older witch made her promise not to overthink things and to please allow herself to be loved the way she deserved.

Hermione walked out of the school in to the courtyard looking around with an annoyed sigh as she realized that once again she hadn’t found her friends. Leaning against a stonewall, Hermione looked at the statue that Harry hated near the lake, it was of him holding the elder wand and looking fierce, she snorted when she remembered how hard Harry fought to get it ripped down. On the other side of the boathouse was another statue this time of herself, wearing her school uniform with her wand held out in front of her defensively, a determined expression on her face and the quote ‘Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself’ written underneath. She hadn’t tried to get it taken down because she knew that it would do no good, no one was going to listen and as much as she hated seeing herself forever immortalized at the school like that it was going to happen no matter what. Hermione knew that Snape had two portraits in the school (one in the headmasters office (at the insistence of Harry) and one that was guarding the Slytherin common room) he also had a portrait in Saint Mungo’s and one in the potions lab at the ministry. It appeared that all the main players got portraits or statues, everyone except Ronald that was, when everyone learned about how he had left Hermione and Harry in the woods no one was willing to forgive him for that. It played a big reason as to why he was the way he was now that the war was over and weather it was right or not Hermione had always felt bad for how he was treated, even if he did bring it on himself.

“I” Tony said, coming over the hill that was between her and the boathouse where her statue was near “Just saw the most beautiful statue over there” He pointed over his shoulder “Damn near took my breath away”

“Harrys?” Hermione asked with a grin and he snorted.

“Yes” He nodded “He’s one handsome devil”

“I’ll let him know that you visually enjoy him” Hermione said, turning slightly and bumping his arm with her shoulder “I’m sure he will be most pleased” Tony stood before her, their eyes met in a way that left no one wondering what they were both thinking about and that made Hermione turn away from him but he caught her arm.

“Hermione…” He said, his voice was a little huskier than before.

“Yes?” She answered, slowly turning back to look at him. He leaned forward and she wanted to turn and run but Minerva’s words kept playing in her mind ‘You don’t know what you’re missing until its gone…if you back away every time he comes forward, one of these days he’s going to stop moving forward and then you’ll know what it was that you so easily let go’. Tony hesitated a centimeter from her lips before finally his were pressed against her soft ones, the kiss lingered and after a moment he nibbled on her bottom lip until she opened her mouth and deepened the kiss. She gripped his biceps, her kiss moved from nervous and tentative to eager and explorative, there were little explosions of fireworks in her mind, her fingers tingled and her magic crackled so much that he was able to feel it tickle across his body. They pulled away but kept their foreheads touching, their breath was mingling in little white puffy clouds in the quickly cooling night air as they looked in one another’s eyes “What was that?”

“More than a years pent up passion” He whispered his answer, as if speaking the words any louder would some how crack the magical moment around them and maybe he was right “Hermione…I” His cell phone, charmed to work in any magical place, began to ring, cutting his words off and he made a face looking at the screen and frowning before looking back at her, clearly torn about what to do.

“Answer it” Hermione urged “I see Luna and the others now, I will call them over”

“I’ll be over in a minute” He promised and then opened the cell, putting it to his ear and walking away. He looked behind him when he got a bit further away from Hermione and the others that were joining her, he was particularly nervous about Jarvis because he had rather good hearing.

“Tony!” The voice said “Are you even listening?”

“Steve” Tony sighed “I told you to leave me alone, that I don’t want to know where you are, what you’re doing and who you’re with…”

“Tony, I’m sorry” Steve sighed “I screwed everything up. I know, but I need your help…you said that you’d help me if I needed it”

“And Bucky?” Tony sneered “Does he need my help too?”

“He’s gone” Steve sounded pathetic “He took off months ago, in the middle of the night, he didn’t leave any note, number not even a goodbye or thank you for risking my life and friends to help him”

“What do you need?” Tony finally asked.

“I need a hiding place” Steve said “I need to get away, the government has been lurking around, hell the only time I get to leave my hiding spot now is if I take the sewer tunnels” Tony snorted and made a comment about Ninja Turtles that flew over the other man’s head “I can get to the ocean but no further and I can’t get on a plane”

“How are you going to get to the ocean and how do you purpose I help you?” Tony asked him, looking behind him at the small group of people that were waiting for him.

“There’s a kid here…he’s enhanced” Steve said “He recognized me, held on to that information and took the opportunity to help me and he can get me to the ocean…please Tony”

“What’s this kids name?” Tony asked “And why not ask someone better at jumping from one place to another like…oh I don’t know, Thor maybe?”

“And how the hell do I get in touch with him?” Steve snarled “Stare up at the sky and scream out his name?” Tony smirked to himself “Maybe try to kill Jane Foster and hope he comes down here…try to steal the tesseract and goad Loki in to coming here hoping that Thor will follow his brother and drag him back…any of these thoughts working for you?”

“Snippy, for someone asking for help, aren’t you?” Tony snorted to himself.

“The kids name is Peter Parker” Steve said “I’ll tell you more about him when you come get me”

“Fine” Tony said after a long sigh escaped him “Either I or Jarvis will be at the ocean. Better hope you hold on tight enough or you’ll end up falling in to the ocean and possibly getting eaten by sharks”

“Thank you…” Steve started.

“Three days” Tony said, before he hung up on the other man, with a great sigh he turned and slowly walked back to Banner, Jarvis and Hermione who were waiting for him. He knew that Hermione was going to be okay with him helping Steve though she was angry with him but Bruce was still really angry about the other mans giving up on them and Jarvis would be angry at whoever his friends were angry at. It was going to be a long night.
