Draco walked into his large office and sat down at his desk. In ten minutes he was going to talk to his entire office about a new way forward in the business and to say that he was nervous would be an understatement. First day at the job and he has to say a speech.
'Ring, ring' went his mobile. He turned in his chair facing the large window
"Hello mione"
"Hello baby good luck on your speech" came the voice of his wife. He felt a wave of relief wash over him.
"thanks babe I love you"
"love you too, I wanted to make sure you were ok I know you are nervous but there is no need to be ok" he heard Hermione yawn.
"mione get some sleep I love you and I will see you tonight"
"love you, good luck see you tonight"
Draco waited until the phone disconnected before pressing the end button.
'knock, knock' Draco turned "come in"
The door opened to revile a beautiful woman about his age, 5'4 she had curly strawberry blonde hair which was in a loose bun. She was dressed in a navy blue pin striped knee length skirt with black silk shirt.
"hello Mr Malfoy my name is Katie Thompson I'm your new sectary" Katie spoke with an American accent. She handed over her file for him to read.
"nice to meet you Ms Thompson take a seat, I was wondering if you have read my brief about today's agenda" Draco opened the file.
"yes I have Mr Malfoy 'to begin a new' " he read over it and saw that she was his age and she went to the wizarding school north America.
"well it time lets go Ms Thompson I want everyone to hear this"
Draco called everyone to the large ball room.
"we are at a different turn point in the wizarding world we don't have to live in fear and my father ran this place through fear and hate so I want to begin a new is what I want for this company. I plan on taken input from the least experienced to the most. I want to make everyone feel safe so I would like to ask everyone what they think I could do to make them feel safe because I believe that it would benefit."
Someone put their hand up.
"yes what your name?"
"my name is Ms Tablot, I'm a single mother and I find it hard to find suitable day care for her which means I have t do most of my work from home but I need to come in to do the best I can't"
"so an onsite day care facility would make you feel safe"
The rest of the day went along the same lines Draco walked in to his office with Katie walking in behind him.
"I think that went well" Draco said sitting down in his chair he looked at his computer seeing the time it was 8 o'clock.
"it did I think the idea for the day care is a very good idea" she said unpacking the box on his desk. She took out a photo with his twins laying on the sheep skin rug next to James at Hogwarts.
"ow these babies are so beautiful" she cooed.
"thank you the two with blonde hair are my twins Daphne and Scorpius and the baby with black hair is my godson James" he said as she handed over and he placed it where he could see it.
The next picture was of Hermione sitting in her favourite chair next to the fireplace, she was pregnant reading a book on baby names book.
"that's my wife Hermione"
"she beautiful as my sister said she was I can tell why my boyfriend talks about her a lot"
Draco looked at her concerned.
"she was Hermione Granger was she not"
Draco nodded.
"my boyfriend is Ron Weasley we met when I came here in the Easter holidays"
"can I call you Katie?"
She nodded on the verge of tears.
"Katie they are best friend's and I know they think of each other as brother and sister, yes they had a thing during the war but that was then from what Hermione has told me he won't stop talking about you, ok"
She nodded.
'knock, knock'
"come in"
Ron appeared in the door he ran to Katie side.
"what they matter?"
"Katie could you go and send my schedule for tomorrow"
Katie nodded and left the room.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?"
"you talk a lot about Hermione around your girlfriend and I think she is hurt about it" Draco said
"what do you mean?"
"Katie was helping me un pack my last box here and she saw this picture of Hermione then she began to cry saying that you talk a lot about her."
"I didn't mean to, I don't want her to feel like that.
"did you come to pick her up tonight ?"
"yes"
"then take her im going home to Hermione, Daphne and Scor."
"thanks about this and looking after Hermione, Malfoy"
" that's fine weasley"
When Draco got home he got under his duet and pulled Hermione to his chest.
