Chapter 7: the boy who lived
Thomas squeezed through the crowd but Tony stood out of the store. He prefer less crowded areas though he will probably squeeze through too it if it's only woman in the crowded areas. He became playboy afterall. After a couple of months of their parents death, Tony started to bring a woman wach day with him.
It's good that the rooms in house are sound proof. But it's a mess really. Imagine waking up in the morning and get out of the room for the first thing to see is a woman walking in the house half naked or barely with any clothes with weird smell on her and the thing he is a 10 year old kid watching all this and then look down.
Yep he wants to grow up soon. Thomas is a little jealous of his brother now. Anyway he is a still tiger cub and needs to grow up. Thomas got his books and without even looking back he left the store but Tony waited for a while for the crowd to abandon the shelves and get to the counter then he got and grabbed some interesting books he can find along with some reference books. Then he handed them to Thomas to let him squeeze through the crowd in front of counter again, Thomas glared at his brother who said," two rides in helicopter after we get home and I'll allow you to drive my car for one time ", Thomas accepted the deal reluctantly. He wanted to get on the chopper last time but his brother rejected it and he almost crashed Tony's car one time without his permission to drive it.
Fortunately at this time the man posing to the camera announced he will start autographs and then the crowd at the counter vanished. Thomas breathed a sigh of relief and paid the bill before looking back. Gilderoy lockhart and a boy are taking photos.
Thomas ignored it and get to Tony before asking him," remember our deal ", Tony asked innocently looking side ways," what deal?", Thomas looked at Tony in silence and then held his hand before giving him a mild shock. Tony looked at the smiling face of Thomas who said," oh dear brother, it seems you recently have amnesia. Let me give you the best treatment possible ".
Tony shuddered and said," hey it's not fair. Where is my obedient and soft little brother. He is more handsome than you although not as handsome as me. Give me my little brother Thomas back ", Thomas smiled and said," if you keep your word you can see him again or else you'll receive shocks randomly everyday ".
Tony gulped and said," you're not cute kid, you know that. Where did you learn this behaviour from? You wounded your brother's heart? ", Thomas raised an eyebrow and said," oh really don't worry. I heard there is a potion of healing wounds. Next time I'll brew it personally and test it on you. You'll be better by then. Trust your brother Thomas with this ".
Tony gave up," great doctor Thomas, please forgive your lovely and handsome brother. He just remembered the deal. Don't let him be your lab rat to kill him. He promise to bring more suitable test subjects for you ", Thomas snorted and put the books in the storage pouch they bought.
While they're arguing with each other as a typical brothers, a girl approached him and asked," um hello I'm Hermione Granger. Are you going to Hogwarts this year? Your older brother seems familiar to me, who are you? ".
Tony nudged Thomas and winked at him to go get the the girl. Thomas rolled his eyes,' this playboy brother of mine. Do you want your brother to follow your foot steps too?', Thomas put a sweet smile on his face and said," hi, Hermione Granger. I'm Thomas stark, and this is my brother Anthony stark. Yes I'm a freshman who is going to join Hogwarts".
Hermione Granger looked at Tony and then at Thomas before muttering," I can't seem to remember where I saw this man?", Hermione just smiled and said," I'm a second year at Hogwarts. Hogwarts is the best the magic school in the whole world. You'll definitely like your stay in Hogwarts ".
Thomas asked Hermione more questions about the professors and circulum but Hermione declined giving him more details and only left with vague answers. When she wanted to leave she suddenly seem to remember something and turned around to see the brother's walking away with Flitwick by their side.
In shock she muttered," Tony Stark, the new owner of stark industries and his brother Thomas Stark ".
