Marvel: I, Hermione, am from Hogwarts!

The HR department doesn't do anything!

Knowing that Pepper cares about her, she didn't reveal a single word, which made people so worried.

snort!

"Let's explain these things when we meet; it's a long story."

“Where are you now? I’m coming to find you!” Pepper said immediately.

Hermione scratched her head, a little embarrassed. "I don't know either. I'll come find you. Please wait a moment."

Having said that, he summoned a flying broomstick, mounted it, and cast an illusion spell, soaring into the sky and heading straight for Stark Tower.

Stark Tower.

CEO's office.

Pepper held the phone, constantly saying "hello."

The last thing she heard was Hermione's "I'm coming to find you."

After that, no matter what she said, Hermione did not respond; all that could be heard on the phone was a violent whooshing sound.

Just as she was wondering whether she should hang up, she heard a "tap tap tap" sound behind her, as if someone was knocking on the glass.

Pepper was startled, thinking she had misheard.

This is a building dozens of stories high, hundreds of meters in the air. She was the only person in the entire room, and there was nothing behind her except for the floor-to-ceiling window. How could someone possibly knock on the glass?

Turning around, I saw a petite figure in a black robe sitting horizontally on a broom, hovering outside the window.

When he saw her, he even smiled and waved.

With her pretty face, her eyes curved into crescents, paired with a sweet smile and two little dimples, she was incredibly cute.

In an instant, Pepper's heart melted.

"Little Hermione!"

Pepper covered her mouth and gasped in surprise.

"Pepper Sister Sister!"

Faint shouts drifted into the room, and Hermione's mouth opened and closed as if she were saying something.

"?" Pepper was confused.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew by, and the broom shook violently in the turbulent water. Hermione lost her balance and fell off the broom.

"what!!!"

Pepper screamed.

Before she could make a move, Hermione floated up again, but this time her calves were hooked around the broom handle, and she was hanging upside down on it, which looked quite comical.

Hermione pointed to herself, then to the room.

Pepper finally understood and quickly opened the window. Hermione instantly flipped onto the broom and flew into the room with fluid movements.

She landed safely, and before she could say anything, Pepper rushed forward and hugged her tightly.

"You child!" Pepper's eyes flashed with lingering fear as she scolded, "How could you do something so dangerous!"

"Is it dangerous...?" Hermione looked puzzled. She had done far more of these acrobatic moves during Quidditch training, but seeing Pepper's worried expression, she still softly agreed.

"Oh……"

Seeing that Hermione clearly didn't take it to heart, Pepper sighed softly.

I wonder what kind of education this child received from a young age.

Chapter 28 First Encounter with Iron Man

"Where have you been all this time? I can't get through to you on the phone, and you don't reply to my messages!"

Pepper held Hermione in her arms and kneaded her for a while before finally asking.

"Of course, it's going to school!"

"But I've already checked, the schools in New York..."

“I don’t go to school in New York, I go to Hogwarts.” Hermione thought for a second, then added, “A wizarding school.”

“Oh… so it’s a wizarding school,” Pepper nodded, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “What? A wizarding school?!”

Hermione tilted her head and said, "I'm a wizard, of course I have to go to wizarding school, otherwise where would all my magic come from?"

Pepper: ? ? ?

At S.H.I.E.L.D., she called Hermione "Miss Wizard" simply because Hermione was dressed like a wizard on TV, not because she actually thought Hermione was a wizard.

From the beginning, she only thought of Hermione as a child with some superpowers.

It's just that kids love to fantasize and like to call it magic.

But now it seems... could it really be true?

"You, you're not kidding, there really are wizards?!" Pepper exclaimed incredulously.

Hermione was helpless.

After demonstrating a few spells, Pepper finally accepted the fact.

"So, you're usually here... um... at Hogwarts, only coming back when you don't have classes?"

Hermione nodded and began to explain to her the basics of the wizarding world and the mystical side, similar to what she had told S.H.I.E.L.D., only in more detail.

"call……"

Pepper was processing this mind-blowing information.

After a long while, she seemed to remember something, and her expression turned slightly apologetic:

"I'm sorry, Hermione. I was supposed to take Tony to thank you in person after he returned safely, but I couldn't get in touch with you. Also, Tony doesn't believe in any kind of precognition. He even thought that S.H.I.E.L.D. was deliberately trying to fool me. In addition, he has been focused on developing some kind of armor in the lab these days, so I haven't been able to thank you yet."

Hermione nodded.

That's right, that's very Tony Stark.

However, she wasn't angry; in fact, she expressed understanding because, in essence, she hadn't really done anything wrong.

From Tony's perspective, after being kidnapped for so long and suffering so much, he only managed to escape with difficulty thanks to the armor he built himself and Ethan's assistance, even after Ethan's sacrifice.

When he returned, someone told him that his departure was entirely due to someone's prediction, and that his future was safe and had nothing to do with himself, so he should be grateful!

She wouldn't be able to accept it either.

"It's perfect that you're back. Once Tony returns from testing the armor in the Middle East, I'll have him personally present it to you..."

At this point, Pepper's face showed obvious resentment.

During Tony's disappearance, she worried about him every day and had to work hard to keep the group running smoothly. She thought that Tony would be more restrained after his return, but instead he not only shut down the weapons research and development department, but also became a hands-off manager, focusing all his attention on those armors and leaving the mess to her.

This made her even more overwhelmed than before.

She understood that the armor had saved his life, but it was definitely too much for her.

I'm just your secretary, not your nanny!

"and many more!"

He does not mean that.

"Stark went to the Middle East?" Hermione suddenly asked.

Pepper nodded: "Yeah, I don't know what got into her this morning, she insisted on going to that kind of place. We just escaped danger, and now she wants to go back in!"

Hermione understood.

So the plot has progressed to this point.

When Tony was kidnapped, he witnessed terrorists using Stark Industries' weapons. Reflecting on the fact that his own weapons had been misused and killed too many people, he decided to shut down the weapons division.

As a result, the interests of too many people were affected, especially his apparent uncle, Obadiah Stan.

The latter secretly continued to sell weapons behind Tony's back. When Tony discovered that terrorists were still using Stark Industries' weapons, he transformed into Iron Man and used the Mark III to deliver a devastating blow to them.

Hermione's eyes darted around, and she suddenly said, "Sister Pepper, I have something to do. I'll be back later."

Having said that, before Pepper could react, he jumped onto his flying broom and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Pepper: "..."

……

After taking off, Hermione flew at full speed, circling the entire city before heading in a certain direction.

Before long, a golden and red figure streaked across the sky and flew toward her.

Hermione's eyes lit up.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Iron Man's armor.

Due to the Disillusionment Charm, Tony Stark did not see Hermione.

Turning her broom around and flying to a position parallel to her armor, Hermione couldn't resist reaching out and touching it.
