Ch. 10 Getting to Know Each Other
Over the next few weeks Draco and Samantha had started to learn each other's routines and quirks, for example, Samantha could not function most mornings without coffee, and Draco could not stand when things were out of place.
Samantha enjoyed the outdoors and spent her free time exploring the streets of London when Draco spent much of his time in the office or his study at home.
Draco liked to have a schedule more than that he needed to have a schedule; Sam suspected it had something to do with feeling in control, same as his need for order.
They had made a conscious effort to not get on each other's nerves and to avoid fighting, but when Samantha was bored she enjoyed leaving her clothes on the floor, or being late for meals just for giggles.
…At Breakfast 2 Weeks in…
"Did you see Witch Weekly?" Samantha asked coming in after her Saturday morning run.
Draco was sitting at the breakfast table eating toast and eggs and reading some type of report.
"Hmm" was his reply not looking up from his reading.
"Well, there was a very interesting article. Apparently a gorilla attacked the minister of magic and Hogwarts is on fire."
"That's nice…wait what?" Draco finally looked up from his paper.
"Just making sure you were listening. But seriously this is important." Samantha handed over the magazine.
Draco accepted and browsed through it before stopping, looking up at Sam and then back at the magazine. He read out loud.
"American-beauty finds her prince. What is this about?"
"Keep reading." Samantha replied, as she poured herself coffee. She had yet to see any house elves but judging by the way breakfast was prepared every morning she knew they had to be around.
Draco continued reading, "Samantha Black, international pop sensation and 2nd War hero, has had a history of fun filled flings and power hookups. What the hell is a "power hookup?"
"Don't worry about it, please continue." Sam said getting annoyed.
"But despite her wild nature in the love department Samantha seems to have finally settled down, and a prince she has found. Ms. Black has been spotted over the last few weeks in the company of a mysterious blonde lover. Seriously, blonde lover? They have been seen at lunches and outings for a few weeks now and seem to onlookers to be very intimate. What on lookers are those exactly?"
"It's tabloid news, which means they make stuff up." Sam replied, "Now please, it get's better."
"Okay, where was I? Yes you and your lover appear intimate. There has been much speculation on who Black's new squeeze is everyone from Brad Pitt to Viktor Krum in disguise, but we at Witch Weekly are the first to confirm that the blonde is in fact notorious business tycoon and London bad boy, Draco Malfoy."
"And there you go Witch freaking Weekly broke the story." Samantha said, "I have a photo shoot for the show so I'm gonna get ready."
"Wait, what does this mean?" Draco asked still looking at the article, which went on to explain how their whirlwind affair started complete with a color-coded timeline and pictures.
"It means that everyone is going to know by tomorrow the latest so you should probably talk to your parents. Good luck!" and with that she skipped out of the room.
"Great" Draco thought, "just great."
Author's note: The story has been pretty slow up until this point, but from now on things begin to pick up speed. Draco and Samantha have to confront their families, Ginny comes back to the story, and Draco get's to babysit for a day. So stay tuned in and don't forget to shoot me a review and give me some tips! Thanks!
