You know, it's funny. When I first joined the FFML, I did use the "…" and got taken to task for it. *shrug* At this point, I think the ". . ." looks better, aesthetically, not to mention it's become habit. I'm not trying to be snarky or anything, just noting it.

That's actually part of why it's a drabble. I really have no idea how Harry and Tony would be different. Also, I don't think anyone who grew up with Tony is going to respect authority unless said authority figure is Pepper.

And maybe McGonagall.
