2/3 for today!

Wednesday, September 16, 1998

That morning, Hermione was again bored. Around 11am an owl flapped in and dropped a letter on her lap. It had a Hogwarts seal on the back. Hoping it wasn't bad news about Ginny, she tore it open.

Lady Malfoy Nott,

It is our absolute pleasure to offer you a place on the Hogwarts Board of Governors. While normally one spot is given to the Patriarch of an Ancient and Noble House, both Lord Malfoy and Lord Nott have dictated that you are to have their spots until it suits you to return them. Our first Board Meeting will be held this Friday, September 18, 1998. We invite you to attend in the morning, followed by a luncheon with the prefects and Head Students. In the evening we invite you and your family to join Hogwarts at dinner.

Attached you will find the itinerary for our meeting as well as a copy of the official decree that has been filed with Gringotts and the Ministry of Magic. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out.

Sincerely,

Prof. Horace Slughorn

Deputy Headmaster

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

"THEODORE! DRACO!" Hermione shrieked through the bond.

"Yes, my darling," Draco said sarcastically, "to what do we owe this rather screachy pleasure?"

"You two gave me your Hogwarts Board of Governors spots?" she said, ignoring Draco's snark.

"Well seeing as the Princeling works there and I'm busy keeping both the Malfoy and Nott fortunes increasing and afloat in both the Magical and secretly in the Muggle world, you're the natural choice," Theo teased.

"Plus we know that you care more about the whole thing that we do," said Draco, smirking.

"What are you investing in in the Muggle world?" Hermione asked, getting derailed from her original excitement.

"Midnight Dragon Inc. has recently invested in a tech company called Apple as well as BioSpecifics Technologies Corp, LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, and Disney," Theo said offhandedly.

"We're Disney investors?" Hermione asked excitedly. "I always wanted to go when I was a kid."

"I'm more interested in seeing our girl in some Louis Vuitton," Draco drawled. "Their Wizarding Line is a staple in France."

"Okay back to the point," Hermione said after a few seconds thinking about taking their children to Disney. "I'm going to be on the Board of Directors for a prestigious boarding school! This is major."

She heard Draco chuckling over the bond. "Well I for one can't wait to show you around Hogwarts. I'd love to show my wife the hidden corners of Hogwarts," Draco said with a hint of lust in his voice.

"Yes, I ravaged my childhood sweethearts many a time in those halls," Theo said wistfully.

"Do you two think of anything other than sex?" she sneered playfully.

"No," Draco said sharply.

"Not really," Theo said at exactly the same time.

Hermione rolled her eyes, but chuckled at their teasing. She stood from her perch to find her parents and invite them with her to Hogwarts. They'd never been able to see the grounds, another thing she'd be rectifying after the War was over. Muggleborns and their families deserved to learn about the school and see it in person before the child was eleven years old.
