[HP Comprehensive UK and US] Platinum Stark

"I thought Draco would come with us." Alicia, who was dressed up carefully, said while holding her father's hand.

Lucius, who had combed his low ponytail meticulously, raised an eyebrow and walked out of the American Ministry of Magic with his daughter. "We can't let your mother spend the Christmas holiday alone."

If he took both children away at once, Narcissa would probably not let him into the room for a month.

The girl, who was used to doing everything with Draco, had two red clouds on her cheeks: "I was inconsiderate."

"Then Xia should pick out a few sets of jewelry for mom herself to make up for it." Lucius was amused by his daughter's cute reaction.

Alicia nodded solemnly, indicating that she would definitely complete the task.

On the way to the estate he purchased in the United States, Lucius briefly explained their next itinerary.

He has an important meeting in the afternoon and will attend the dinner with his daughter in the evening.

"Is it... a meeting at Stark Industries, Dad?" Alicia hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "After all, it is one of the best companies in the United States and the most powerful company in New York."

The man was obviously a little surprised. How did Thea know all this? She was not usually seen caring much about the family business or Muggle enterprises.

Could it be that the Muggle-born wizards in the school often discuss this?

He simply stopped thinking about it and asked directly: "Is Xia usually interested in these things?"

The girl pursed her lips and thought about how to tell her father.

"A Hufflepuff wizard subscribed to a Muggle newspaper and was very interested in these scientists in America, and I heard about them occasionally when I passed by."

Not sure if Lucius was convinced by this reason, he did not delve into it, but answered his daughter's question: "Yes, the previous chairman just passed away for some reason, so this meeting is quite important. What's more, we also need to make some preparations in the United States."

He had no intention of making the arrangements without telling the girl.

Alicia lived up to his expectations and instantly understood what her father meant - the Malfoy family did not intend to follow the Dark Lord wholeheartedly.

The girl had an idea in her mind.

"Is the banquet tonight also related to the chairman's death?"

"Well, little Stark always has to act as a weather vane."

After hearing her father's answer, Alicia said nothing more.

Just two days after Tony's parents died unexpectedly, he was about to attend the meeting and dinner he hated most - two events organized in response to his parents' death - alone.

The girl sighed imperceptibly. She felt sorry for her friend but couldn't do anything practical to help him. She could only think about how to comfort him when they met.

Perhaps, my unannounced arrival could bring some comfort to Tony?

Let’s hope so.

Lucius originally thought that his daughter would be somewhat reluctant to attend a Muggle party, but Alicia's reaction was beyond his expectations. He recalled his daughter's friendships at Hogwarts, and the only Muggle wizard who was close to Alicia was Hermione Granger. Could it be because of her?

The man put aside his doubts and walked into their place in the United States with his daughter, and instructed: "I have ordered Dobby to finish cleaning. You can call him if you need anything - they can be transported across borders."

"What about Dad? Is he leaving now?" Alicia asked, raising her head.

"Yes, this meeting is expected to last several hours." Lucius cast a series of dressing spells on himself, "I will pick you up for dinner at 5:30, okay, Thea?"

The name of the genius of that little Stark is not a gimmick, but I don't know how much business acumen he has, and whether it is easy to handle. If the operation is done properly, maybe Malfoy will be the one who benefits the most.

This is not the first time that their family has supported puppets. It can almost be said to be a necessary means for every Malfoy family head.

Lucius already had a perfect plan, but Alicia could only roughly guess what he could think of.

"Actually, um... I'm quite interested in this company." Alicia hesitated, but still said, "Dad——"

"Okay, Dad promises that the shares you hold in the end will be among the best in the entire board of directors." Lucius readily decided to transfer the shares of the company to his daughter without any ambiguity.

The man who already had a careful plan was even more motivated - how could he not give a good gift to his daughter?

The girl smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to continue.

What should I do? It seems to be counterproductive. Merlin, Tony will eat her alive when he finds out.
