Chapter 1 : The Proposal

It was a busy Friday and it's already half past four, thirty more minutes though. Hermione is about to finish her hours, she was just cleaning a few more tables and then she will call it a day. There were still a lot of customers dining in when a posh metallic silver Porsche stopped and parked right in front of the restaurant. It was quite unusual to see an expensive car parking in front of the place she works for, as it is not part of the luxurious destinations of rich people. 'Why do I have a feeling I've seen that car before?' she thought to herself but then shrugged it off and continued with her work. She can't help but to look when the car door opened and the driver stepped out. She gasped as she recognised who it is.

How can she forget who that man is. He was her first and only intimate partner ever. Blaise Zabini was standing in the parking lot of the not-so-high-end restaurant she is working for, he glanced around before looking at his watch. With a sigh, he strode off and entered the restaurant. Hermione, with a surge of panic, suddenly did not know what to do. She was caught in between continuing whatever she was doing or dashing into the kitchen and hide. The said damn man was walking his way towards her. 'I'm doomed!' she thought.

Upon seeing her when he entered the door, Blaise approached Hermione and sat at the table she is currently wiping. She stilled as he sat and somewhat stopped breathing. "Mione, breathe. Relax, it's just me" Blaise drawled out to the woman who seemed to freeze on the spot. "Uhm…le-let me just g-go and get the menu so you can order sir" she stammered as she was about to go to the counter and get the said menu. He grabbed her wrist before she could turn around and leave.

"There's no need for that. I'm just waiting for someone and wait for you to get off at the same time. Are you free tonight? We have a proposal for you." Blaise said in a serious tone. Before she could answer, she saw the man in front of her turned to look at the car that was about to park beside his. It was a flashing red Ferrari 458 Spyder and was driven by a man with platinum blonde hair.

The said blonde stepped out of the car and walked towards the restaurant door. He walked towards their table and as he reached them, he stooped down to give a kiss to Blaise's lips before he sat down. Hermione's eyes widened at the display in front of her 'They're gay?!' she asked herself. Blaise chuckled as he saw the surprised look of the waitress. "Mione, I want you to meet Draco. He is one of my life partners. Draco, this is Mione. The one that I've been telling you guys about" Draco, the blonde guy offered his hand out and she shook hands with him with a blush. She had a feeling of dread for the reason of their presence tonight.

"So what time do you get off?" Draco asked her. "Uhm…I'm off in five minutes…I'll just go ahead change and grab my stuff at the back and then head out. Are we going somewhere?" she asked them. Blaise grinned at her "Yeah babe, just make it quick." She blushed at his response and turned to go back to the kitchens to drop off the plates and utensils on the tray from the table she just cleaned. After a few minutes, she appeared wearing her casual clothes of tight faded jeans and baby tee accentuating her slim figure.

Both men eyed on her and Blaise gave a wolf whistle while Draco just grinned at her. She blushed at the looks that they were giving her. "So where are going?" she asked them. "It's a surprise, besides there is no need to worry alright?" Blaise answered her in a smug way as he wrapped his right arm around her shoulders while he held Draco's hand on his right. The blonde chuckled "No need to worry there Mione. We're harmless, we're just going to take you out to a private place where we can talk. Did Blaise mention a proposal we have for you?" "Yeah, he did. Okay if you say so." She said as she leaned into Blaise's body as they walk across the parking lot.

"I think it's best if you ride with me, just so Mr. Tall-dark-and-handsome over there wouldn't get his hands on you" Draco indicated to Mione as Blaise feigned hurt at the accusation, which they all ended up laughing. As Draco opened up the door for her, she got in and strapped the seatbelt on. Once the blonde has seated on the driver's seat, he rolled the window down to talk to Blaise "Race you there handsome!" he said and Blaise just replied "Yeah! See you both there sweethearts!" and both their cars sped off.

"Hold on tight there, love" Draco told the woman beside him. Trying to relieve her panic from the fast driving of the blonde "How long have you been together?" she asked. The blonde looked at her "Well, like since birth" he answered with a smile. He broke into laughter after seeing her confused look "Hey! What's so funny and look where we're going!" she snapped at him. Once he got hold of himself "Sorry bout that. It's like this, me, Blaise and Harry who is our other partner in life are childhood friends. Our parents are business partners and technically belong to the same elite circle. We grew up together, hang out, and go to school together and all that stuff. We practically know each other better than ourselves." He explained. "Oh, and then you sort of fell for each other. How conventional" and then she snorted.

Draco just shook his head and chuckled "So, you don't find it disgusting? You know…Blaise shagging you even though he's with us" he looked at her sceptically. She looked at him for a moment before she answered "I'm sure he told you how we met. I'm not the type to judge him or you since I myself seem to have some moral issues. Other than that, I'm actually fine with that. You guys seem to be happy for what you have. After what happened to us, I kind of have to lie low with my relationship and extracurricular activities." Hermione smiled at Draco before she looked out the window.

"That's great to hear. I mean not everybody thinks like you. Thank you though for sharing your thought." The blonde told her as he placed a tentative hand on her arm. Hermione looked at him "I haven't had an easy life after we met. I had to struggle to get by in that school I went to since I just got to go there because of scholarship. It is indeed a harsh world. It's nice to see that once in a while I get a chance to feel somebody happy and content around me. Even though for just a couple of minutes." She looked at him and smiled though he noticed that the smile did not reach her eyes, there's something in her eyes, sadness perhaps.

"That's deep. You seem to have a lot of thoughts running in your head. Want to share? It might make you feel better, you know? Consider me as a friend from now on." Draco offered as he moved his hand from her arm to hold her hand and squeeze it. "Thank you Draco" Hermione replied as she placed her free hand on top of his hand which is holding her other hand. "We're here" Draco informed her, as he parked the car. A few minutes later, Blaise's Porsche parked beside Draco's Ferrari.

"Where are we?" Hermione asked her companions as they met in between their cars. She looked around for some clues to know where they are. "We're here in High Holborn. We just have to have you ready for dinner first. We have a reservation at Alain Ducasse at eight sharp. We're just waiting for Harry as it looks like his car isn't here yet" Draco answered with an exasperated sigh at the latter part of his response. "I'll call him, no need to start a fuss" Blaise intervened as he immediately saw a start of a tantrum. Just as Blaise was about to dial Harry's number, a shining black Lamborghini Aventador made its way to park on the other side of Draco's car. Just then, the driver stepped out of the car.

"It's about time? Where the hell have you been?" Draco screeched at the new arrival. The said man strode over to them and wrapped his arms around the blonde's waist and pulled him in for a breath taking kiss. It seemed like forever before they broke apart and for the newly arrived man to face Blaise and give him a chaste kiss on the lips. "You always seem to know how to shut the fuck out of Blondie here" Blaise said with a chuckle as he received a scowl from his said lover.

Hermione was quite amused and awkward at the same time with the exchange. "Oh, by the way. Mione I'd like you to meet Harry, our other life partner. Harry this is Mione. And no need to fret, we've just been here for five minutes. You know how Draco tends to overreact" Blaise finished as he introduced the two. Harry eyed her before he extended his hand to her. She shook his hand and looked him in the eye. He is like his lovers in a way except that he seems snobbish.

Draco has platinum blonde locks which is slicked back, silver grey eyes and pale skin. Blaise has black hair which is cut clean, chocolate brown eyes and dark skin. Harry appears to be a semi mix of both, he has raven black hair like Blaise' but with that just-shagged effect, emerald green eyes and pale skin like Draco's. All of them are fit, handsome and rich. Draco has this spoiled and demanding aura, as Blaise has that gentle and carefree attitude while Harry has that snobbish and more serious look in him.

"So we finally get to meet the girl who Blaise can't seem to stop talking about. He wouldn't stop unless we agree to go with his plan. I'm Harry James Potter, Harry for short, pleased to meet you Mione." Harry said as he shook her hand and brought it up to kiss the back of it. Hermione blushed at his action "Hermione Jean Granger, but you can call me Mione. You sure are formal than these two here." She said as she gestured to Draco and Blaise. Harry just chuckled.

"Shall we?" Harry extended his arm for Hermione to hold onto as she took it, he led them to a salon. "What are we doing in a salon?" she asked her companions. "You need a makeover and don't worry, it's on us" Draco informed her. They were met by the receptionist and assisted them. They were led to a waiting room while Hermione was led to a seat wherein she will be attended to in a short while. Harry handed over two shopping bags to the receptionist as he gave her instructions on how they would like her to look like.

After two hours, Hermione appeared before the three men who gaped at her. She is now wearing a long back baby pink tube chiffon dress with silver rhinestones on the waist. The dress is paired with two inched silver stilettos. Her hair is worn down into curls and with light makeup. "Wow! You look gorgeous." Harry was the first to recover and the other two nodded. Draco stepped forward as he offered his arm to her which she clung onto while sporting a blush.

They arrived at Alain Ducasse on schedule and were ushered to a private room. They were served with food ordered from the Privilege Menu of the restaurant and Vieilles Vignes for their wine. As they were having dinner, Blaise looked at Harry and seeing that none of his lovers are willing to open up the topic that led them to that dinner. "So, how come you are working at that restaurant instead of studying?" the dark skinned man inquired. Hermione looked up and swallowed before she answered "I can't afford to go to college that's why I'm working my ass off in that god damn restaurant. I don't make that much but at least I get to save up money for me to go to college." She said carelessly if they got a bit ticked off with her cursing.

Draco chuckled "Why do you want to go to college badly? Honestly school sucks especially if you've got nasty professors which are very hard to please." "No offense but with brats like you, you wouldn't understand my reasoning" she said as she continued to pick on her food. "Why don't you try us. You'll never know right." Harry challenged her. Hermione sighed "As I guess you all know, I am not from a well off family. My mother works as a waitress at a diner that merely supports our day to day living. My father passed away earlier this year and he isn't usually much of a help around back then when he was still alive. Just dependent on the jobseeker's allowance which he usually takes advantage on just so he can keep up with vices. I want to make a difference for my life, I have an ambition and that is what pushes me to work every day to save up for college in order for me to have a better opportunity." She pointed out to the three men whose whole attention were now on her.

"Wow. I didn't know you had all those angst in you. I mean, with how we've met and all" Blaise was the first one to speak after her speech. "I'm sorry to hear what you're going thru and what you've been thru." Harry said as he looked thoughtfully at her. "Enough of that. I don't need your pity. So how come you appeared at the restaurant and how were you able to track me down Blaise?" she asked with a bitter laugh.

"Oh that" Blaise chuckled and then continued "Well, you might have forgotten the fact that I know where you live. Every now and then, whenever I get the chance I kind of passed by your house and with regard to the fact of knowing where you work….well we hired an investigator for that ─" and whatever he was about to say after was cut off. "What the hell do you mean you hired an investigator? And it has been 2 years since that day." she huffed out with a deadly look.

Draco then decided to intervene "Look Mione, I know it seems kind of shitty but you see…we need something from you and it might gain you a lot of things back". "I know it is unusual to have people following on your trail but what Draco is trying to say, we can help you and you can help us" Harry elaborated for her. "And with regard to the why-only-now question. Well you see, I haven't even had the slightest idea where you've been going and what have you been doing after that day. We have a proposal for you Mione" Blaise blatantly told her.

"I may sway both ways but I will never leave Harry and Draco. You are my friend and I've considered you that since that fateful night even though what we did isn't the usual thing that friends usually do. But trust us on this one. Please hear us out." Blaise continued seeing several emotions on the woman's face at the moment. "Okay, wait up. I don't even know you guys that well for me to trust you full. I just had a one off with you and for the both of you, I practically just met you! I don't have fucking clue of what you want or what you need from me! Who the hell are you people?" she practically ranted out.

"My name is Draco Lucius Malfoy. I am the only son and heir of one of the owners of MPZ Holdings, Lucius Malfoy. This meeting was actually planned by Blaise in order for us to get to know you." The blonde informed her and looked at his lovers for support. "As I have mentioned earlier, I am Harry James Potter and also an only son and heir of the other owners of MPZ Holdings, James Potter. And yes, what Draco was saying earlier is true, you might be our only chance." Harry said as he slid his hand to hold hers. Hermione flinched at the touch but eventually relaxed against it. "And how about you Blaise? Don't tell me, that the last remaining owner of MPZ holdings is your father too?" she looked at the dark skinned man.

"Quite correct sweetie, but not really." Blaise sighed as he thought of a way on how to go about their proposal to her. "Indeed, I am Blaise Antonio Zabini, the one and only son slash heir of the last of the three owners of MPZ Holdings which is my mother, Arabella Zabini. So would you like to hear our proposal?" he asked the brunette. Hermione looked at each one of them incredulously, as if all three of them informed her that they are one and the same person. "Uhm…when you said MPZ Holdings, did you mean to say the largest investor in Europe and the three people you've mentioned, the most powerful names in business? Are you for real?" they just nodded at her sheepishly. She brought her hands to her face.

"What do you want from me?" she asked meekly. "You see Mione, we received information that someone is bribing our parents to have us married off to someone we don't like and will never like." Harry answered as a starter. "And what do I have to do with that?" was the brunette's response. "It's like this, if the said man can get his way to have our parents approve of the engagement he is pursuing, not only are we forced to separate and marry his icky granddaughters but he is also after the hard earned money that our parents have worked on for many years." Draco supplied. "Who is this man? And why do you despise him and his granddaughters that much?" she asked as she took a sip of her wine.

"Have you heard of the name Albus Dumbledore?" Blaise asked her and she nodded. "The Vice President of MPZ Holdings right?" she said. "Yeah, that's him alright. Well apparently, he's been suspected to be pocketing more money than he should have been and has come up with this fucking plan of marrying us to his god forsaken granddaughters." Harry said as he rolled his eyes at the mention of 'granddaughters'. "Why are you so against the ladies? I mean, have you even met them?" she blurted out. "Oh we've met them once. They are like fame-seeking, ill-mannered, social climbing leeches that wants to get hooked up with the most eligible bachelors of Britain." Draco answered in behalf of his lovers.

"So what are they like?" she asked, amusement evident in her voice. "Well, the one I've got paired with is called Daphne Greengrass. It was her mother who happens to be Dumbles daughter, I think all three of them actually, they're mothers are Dumbles daughters. Well, she is pretty but fuck! She doesn't have table manners and she takes on every opportunity she gets to pose for photographers for a photo with me which I hate!" Blaise told them. "Wait til you hear about her sister, Astoria who was paired up with me. She's pretty as well but she stinks. She's also nasty with the people who work for us like she owns them when in fact they merely get on by if not for their grandfather's support. Their parents are so into drugs and have been brought in and out of the precinct, which would tint our names by the way. Why act so bitchy when in fact you don't have every right to do so." Draco added.

"Lucky for you. The one I got stuck with is named Ginny Weasley. Well, she's not that bad to look at but she just can't her god damn hands to herself. She was trying to touch me in every way possible. And not only that, she even attempted to kiss me in front of those effing paparazzi." Harry said with disgust evident on his face. At the mention of the name of the girl paired with Harry, Hermione's eyes lit up as she recognized that name. "Did you say Weasley?" she asked looking at Harry. "Why? Don't tell me you know her?" was Harry's response. "Well, the last guy I went out with was named Ronald Weasley and he did mention that he has a sister named Ginny. Does she have red hair and freckles as well?" "Yeah, she does. I'm surprised you haven't seen the papers before. One photo actually got published but the others were destroyed of course" the emerald eyed man smirked.

"So, it appears that they are attracted to you because of your money and fame. What have I got to do with this?" she asked them as she looked at each of them. "Here's how it goes. You become our lover exclusively until such time that you can provide us each an heir. We don't care if it's a son or a daughter as long as you get to give us a child each. And once it has been done, you can get to go on with your life and do what you want" Harry laid out the proposal to her. "And what do I gain from that" she countered. "We get to send you off to college, provide you a house of your own, and give you monthly allowance. Oh and we will get you a car as well. No strings attached." Draco answered her.

"What if I want to keep the children and hand over total custody to you?" she asked quietly. That shocked them "Well, if you want to keep them but allow us to provide for them and have them be a proper heir to be welcomed by the elite society then that is fine by me. How about you guys?" Harry looked at his lovers. "I don't see any problem with that. They get to grow up with their mother and eventually get to see us and spend time with us." Blaise answered first then looked at Draco. "Yeah, that's fine with me" was all Draco's answer.

"Will you have others besides me and your partners? And do I get to live with you guys as well or not?" she followed up. "We never had other male partners other than ourselves, with the other sex, well. Once you agree, all four of us will be exclusive and also none of this tryst gets to the media. We've kept it low ever since the beginning, though I think they know. They are just forced to shut it or it will be the end of their careers." Draco answered for them.

"How about if they question the identity of the mother of your children? What will you tell them? And what if the children asks" there were a lot of questions she had but those are the most important as of now. "No worries there darling. That is why we are sending you to a great school and support you on your chosen career so that you will have a name for yourself that will back up your persona. And leave the rest of clearing up the mess to us. Once you agree to this, no one will ever dare cross you. With the children questioning, we will tell them the truth once they are old enough to understand. We know that this is quite crazy but believe us, we will do anything we can for them to understand us. We will take care of you Mione, so don't worry too much, alright?" Harry told her as he stood behind her to wrap his arms around her and she allowed it.

"So what do you say?" Blaise asked with a hint of begging in his voice. "Alright, if you promise to take care of me and do it, I don't see any reason to say no. do I have to sign a contract or something for this?" she said as she relaxed into Harry's embrace. "Tomorrow, when we pick you up. You must be prepared and already broken ties with whoever you are currently seeing right now and then once you've settled at home, then you will sign a contract." Harry filled her in. "I am not seeing anyone. I stopped dating after that failed relationship with Weasley." She said with a tinge of hurt in her voice.
