Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
Authors note: Still in magical world but Draco and Harry didn't know each other at Hogwarts. Harry is not the girl who lived.
Overworked, tired and more then slightly stressed the blonde man drums his fingers across his desk impatiently. His company was the richest business firms in town, in Britain in all honesty. It ran swiftly and smoothly. There was nowhere the Malfoy name hadn't been heard in the Wizarding world, they had dealings in a large number of business owning most of the shares. His son was currently trying to prove to him that he knew what he was doing and was ready to take over.
The trouble was somehow even though the company had been doing so well, it was starting to lose money, a lot of money. The reason for his stress had not been this though, the reason was much worse. A knock on the door brings himself of his thoughts at least they had arrived on time.
'Mr Malfoy, your receptionist let me though.'
'She was told to Mr Price.'
A small smile comes to the man's plumed face. Adrian had not changed in all the years he's known him. For the first time he could sigh in relief he was rather glad his friend had come in his time off need.
'I'd checked the parchments over, they were no traces.'
'Pity, that would have made this all too easy.'
'Of course it would have Lucius you suspected as such or you wouldn't have asked me to look through them in the first place.'
'It would seem you know me well Adrian.'
'After all this time I would hope so.'
'So how do we handle this now,' he inquired.
'I cannot stop these from coming' he gestured towards the new pile of letters stacked in front of him.
'Believe me I tried. It is Draco I'm more worried about.'
'Being as you know that no will be able to touch you, you feel the treat would be passed onto your son.'
'Well it that not likely Draco is the heir after all.'
Adrian shook his head, sighing pulling out a small brown file.
'You wanted protection for Draco you could have just asked, however knowing you like I do I foresaw this coming.'
He smirks back towards his friend, it helped to have friends in high places. They didn't come much higher than Adrian Price when it came to the Auror department.
'This is rather thoughtful of you.'
'You can thank me later when we get you out of this mess. A rather large bottle of whiskey should do it.'
He opens the file, flick through information giving to him.
'Rather young,' he commented.
'Umm a few years behind Draco. A force to be reckoned with though if I didn't know better I'd say they were after my job.'
High praise, Adrian never praised his Aurors so that was something. He once again reads the information given to him. Orphan, half-blood raised by muggles. High score results especially in defence, overall good test of personality.
'You're sure they will be able to help.'
'Lucius let me put it to you bluntly I'm giving you my best.'
Very high praise indeed.
'When can you get them here?'
