Marvel: I, Hermione, am from Hogwarts!

Chapter 38 Using Chili Peppers to Control Tony

Today is Tony's press conference regarding last night's events. If he just tells the reporter what's on the card, he can successfully fool everyone.

Pepper stood up, straightened Tony's suit, and chuckled, "You're not Iron Man, so why do you care about this?"

Tony nodded vigorously.

"Indeed, if I were Iron Man, my girlfriend, who knew my true identity, would be worried to death, afraid that I would die one day."

Looking at Pepper, Tony suddenly asked, "What were you thinking that night?"

Which night?

"That was the day."

"Oh, you mean the night we danced together, the night we went up to the roof..."

Having said that, neither Pepper nor Tony spoke again, gazing deeply into each other's eyes, oblivious to everyone else around them.

The room fell silent for a moment, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air between the two.

Coulson looked away, staring at the sky with an embarrassed expression.

This ceiling is truly a ceiling...

"Crack, click, click..."

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from inside the quiet room.

"Hmm? What's the sound?"

Tony frowned and looked around, but found nothing.

"Hang Chih Chih..."

The sound continued.

It sounds like... the sound is coming from below?

Pepper and Tony exchanged a glance and then lowered their heads.

Hermione was standing between the two of them, head down, munching on a large apple.

Feeling their gazes, she even looked up and glanced at them.

"When did you get here?"

Tony was shocked.

Hermione was also shocked, her mouth agape, and she said, "My God, I came with you two this morning, and I was even sitting between you two in the car. Are you blind?"

Tony shook his head. How could that be?

If that's true, how could he not have noticed at all?

It was clearly just him and Pepper on the whole way.

Hermione was also stunned.

You're acting like you're under a confusion spell, but the thing is, I didn't cast any spells!

Hermione's gaze darted back and forth between Tony and Pepper. Remembering the intense look in their eyes when they stared at each other earlier, she suddenly understood what was going on and flew into a rage.

"You Tony Stark, you only have eyes for Pepper, don't you? You're a heartless bastard when it comes to women!"

"I should never have saved you!"

In short, Pepper immediately turned her head away, her face showing extreme embarrassment.

“Crack, crack, crack, crack…”

Hermione vents her anger on the apple.

"Alright, Tony."

With a series of clicks, the ambiguous atmosphere was completely destroyed. Pepper returned to normal, straightened her collar, and said:

"It's almost time, you should be there."

Having missed his chance, Tony glared at Hermione.

You did this on purpose, didn't you? You absolutely did it on purpose!

"Hehehe..." Hermione also made a face and stuck out her tongue like crazy.

"Hermione, Glenn, Jay!!!"

……

With a cry of "I am Iron Man," Tony finally couldn't hold back any longer and revealed his identity to the public.

Seeing the smug look on the other person's face on TV, Hermione couldn't help but purse her lips.

Pepper, thinking Hermione was still angry about what had just happened, pulled her into a hug and gently comforted her:

"That's just how Tony is, you know that, so don't take it to heart."

Seeing Hermione remain silent, merely twirling the wand floating in her palm with utter boredom, Pepper said helplessly:

“You not only saved his life this time, but you also saved Tony’s life. Tony really should thank you. By the way, is there anything you want? Just say the word, and I’ll make sure you do it!”

Hermione looked up, her eyes lighting up.

Pepper quickly added, "Except for things like the heartstrings of a dragon and the feathers of a phoenix."

She still remembered what Hermione said at S.H.I.E.L.D.

"profound……"

Hermione's head sank back into Pepper's chest.

Seemingly afraid that Hermione might overthink things, Pepper explained, "It's not that we don't want to help you, it's just that we've never seen these things before, and we definitely won't be able to find them anytime soon."

"Hmm... there is one. Let Tony help me modify my flying broom. I'd like to add some small components."

The time for harvest has arrived.

After acting for so many days, Hermione could pretend to be a good person in order to gain the approval of these superheroes, but she knew in her heart that she was not a truly good person.

If you do her a favor, you must repay her, otherwise she might really turn on you.

After all that effort, whether it was building a good relationship with Pepper or helping him through his difficulties, Hermione had now successfully secured a significant place in Tony's heart.

Even though Hermione does nothing right every day, Tony only argues and bickers with her, but his level of attention never diminishes.

Plan succeeded! Hermione's lips curled into a slight smile.

She already owns half of Stark Industries!

By using Pepper to control Tony, Tony, this hired hand, is now prepared to work for her until he dies.

……

Tony left the venue in high spirits.

"Pepper, Hermione, today is the official birth of the superhero Iron Man. Let's find a place to celebrate."

Pepper looked at Hermione with a questioning gaze.

"Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

Hermione thought for a moment and replied, "Chinese food, please."

Having traveled for so long, she really does miss the taste of her hometown.

The food at Hogwarts wasn't bad, but it was always a bit... English, you know.

Pepper nodded in agreement.

It just so happens that she also wants to eat Cantonese cuisine from the Dongda area.

“Oh right,” Hermione suddenly remembered something and quickly said, “If you’re going to eat something, eat the real thing. Don’t make that General Tso’s Chicken thing. I just don’t understand how you Americans can eat that stuff.”

How dare you, a British person, say such a thing...

Tony and Pepper both thought to themselves, their expressions quite speechless.

I'm a student from the University of Tokyo... Oh well...

Hermione could tell what the two were thinking at a glance, but she couldn't explain herself.

Tony thought for a moment and said, "How about this, we don't need to go out. I'll invite the chef to Stark Tower to prepare dinner for tonight."

"Damn capitalists..." Hermione looked at them with disdain.

But... Yay!

night.

The top floor of Stark Tower.

The men wore evening tuxedos, the women wore pristine white suits, and the children wore their ever-present wizard robes.

Pepper, dressed entirely in white, wanted to eat Cantonese food.

The two raised their glasses and gazed deeply into each other's eyes.

Hermione couldn't stand it anymore, so she just kept eating, trying to avoid seeing it.
