Welp her we gooooooo
Not what you would think
Chapter 1
Draco sat at his desk rubbing his temple when he heard the approaching roar of little kids taking a tour of his company. Draco managed the Malfoy Company for two years after he graduated from Hogwarts, he knew it was his duty and it was too soon for his mother to take any responsibility. Until one day Narcissa marched into his office at the manor and demanded to take over. Draco was shocked yes, but also happy that she wanted to take part now.
Draco decided to open his own company, Spell Bound. A corporation that publishes prints and distributes the majority of the wizarding world's books. Draco recently started working on a new branch of the company, he called it Kick Off, and he believed it to be a clever play on his fond memories of first learning to fly when he was a young boy. Kick Off basically took donations from companies all over the world and distributed text books to schools for young wizards all over. Every Christmas Draco donated a load of new books to Hogwarts purely from himself. By starting his company he wished that future generations would be better informed and more educated then he was as a child, hopefully with a more accepting mind.
"And through this big doors, a very important man gets to work" He heard Ali say in a voice to show she was speaking to young children. One of the local schools for children of witches and wizards asked if he would let some classes have a tour. He gladly accepted, not knowing just how loud children really could be.
"WHO WORKS THERE" A very shrill little girl asked.
"I Do" Draco announced as he flung open the doors with a large book in his hands. This entrance excited the children causing them to clap and squeal.
"Now, did you all enjoy your trip around my work?" Draco asked with a smile on his face.
"YES!" the children replied in unison
"I heard you got to take the…." Draco looked over his shoulder, and motioned the children to move closer to him as he knelt down they all ran over, almost knocking him down, he continued.
"The secret stairs" He whispered as they all replied with a nod. Draco managed to cast a spell that added some fun ways around the rather boring building. He added hidden stairs, small doors just their size and hidden rooms filled with balls, or toys. Apparently they loved it.
"Well, because you were all so well behaved, I have a treat!" Draco said, their eyes lit up and they started to smile, those smiles quickly faded when he pulled out the large book. He called one child up and he asked his name.
"Jonathan sir" the small boy said "John for short"
"Well John for short, why don't you say your name then open the book" The boy looked up at Draco with doubtful eyes but followed suit
"John" He opened the book and a smile broke on his face with a gasp of excitement the other kids gathered around him and were also amazed. Draco charmed the book so when the child said their name and opened the book, their favorite candy appeared and also a picture of them while they were on the trip. Draco watched with happiness in his heart as all of the small students stepped up for their treat and picture before parents started filing in.
Draco watched as happy children bounced up to their parents and jumped up and down while filling them in on the excitement of the day.
"Zenon?" Draco's head shot up as he heard this all too familiar voice
"Over here!" A small blonde girl ran from behind him into the arms of Hermione Granger.
"Oh hello Z how was your trip" Hermione bent down and was brushing the blond locks out to the little girls face.
"Dazzling, Mr. Malfoy was really sweet, and has a great office!" Draco was a little impressed with the child's attitude, she acted so mature. Hermione looked up and flashed a small smile at Draco.
"Oh, Hello Draco. How are you?" Her eyes were shinning at him and he was a little taken aback. He has seen Hermione once since graduation. When he bought that book that he just used. He got it from George's shop, she was stopping in as he was leaving, and they were polite to each other a form of unsaid agreement that the past is the past.
"Hermione always a pleasure, I am well, how are you?" He smiled but was racking his mind to remember if the child was hers. It couldn't be Hermione would never name her child Zenon.
"Also well, I am picking up Zenon for Luna and Neville." Hermione picked up the little girl in her arms hugging her tight. Draco just happened to see that she did not have a ring on her finger. A good sign.
"Ah, that makes more sense" Draco replied without thinking shoving his hands into his pockets.
"What does?" She questioned
"I..I just never pictured you picking out such a ..um… worldly name" he looked at the little girl "but it is a beautiful name at that" She smiled and blushed hiding her head in Hermione's shoulder causing both of the adults to laugh.
"I don't know Malfoy, I have a lot of surprises" that was the last thing she said before smirking and walking away from him towards the tall glass doors. Talking and laughing with the little girl in her arms, she looked so at peace. Draco couldn't help but laugh at himself for letting his mind drift so far to Hermione. He did not have a bloody shot in hell with her.
