Chapter One

Sam was sitting next to her cousin in their first potions class. Draco was sitting with some annoying girl named Pansy who seeming to be making Draco want to rip her head off. Sam felt sorry for him. She would try to sit next to him next time so he didn't have to sit with that girl again.

Professor Snape walked in, speaking, telling them all the rules of his classroom. It took him five minutes before he called out a boy named Harry Potter- asking him questions he didn't know the answer to. Some Gryffindor girl knew the answers- but Snape ignored her. Sam knew the answers too from what her father had taught her, but she could tell from Snape's posture and tone that he was ONLY addressing the Potter boy so she said nothing, didn't even raise her hand.

After class, Draco practically ran out of the room to catch up with Sam.

"I BEG of you," he said. "Sit next to me from now on so that girl can't."

"Deal," Sam said.

"Draco, wait up!" They heard Pansy shout from down the hall.

Without even thinking, Sam grabbed Draco's arm and ducked behind a corner with him, hiding behind a wall as Pansy ran past them, unaware they're there and wondering where they had gone.

"That was close," Draco said. "Thank you."

"No problem," Sam said. "That's what friends are for."

"She's been following me around since dinner last night. Claims to just KNOW that we'll fall in love and get married."

"Aw, she has a HUGE crush on you. So cute."

"No, it's annoying. I can't take it. She looks like the clingy type and I HATE clingy people."

"I am so sorry."

"No you're not, you're enjoying this."

"Just a little. But I have no problems even remotely like this, so it's kind of amusing."

"Yeah, yeah, laugh it up, Sam."

"I fully intend to."

They walked into their next class, past Pansy who was begging Draco to sit with her, and sat down. Sam glanced back at Pansy who pouted and glared at Sam.

"She is so pissed that you ignored her and sat with me," Sam giggled.

"She'll get over it," Draco said. He was watching Sam, he thought her giggle was kind of cute.

After lunch that day, Sam- along with Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle- went to herbology. Getting bitten by a plant was Draco's brilliant plan for starting off that class.

Their first flying lesson was less than smooth. When a boy named Longbottom get sent to the hospital wing with a broken wrist, Draco tool the opportunity to goof around and be a bit of a bully. Sam was not the least bit pleased with that side of him, so when Crabbe, Goyle, and Theodore were giving him high-fives, she just walked away from him.

Sam didn't talk to Draco for the rest of the day.

For Sam, her first year at Hogwarts went by pretty smoothly- minus a troll finding its way into the school and everyone freaked out. She had heard that Potter and his friends had gotten into a bit of a tough spot. Much to Draco's dismay, the whole school now thought Potter was fairly cool.

Over the summer, Sam and Draco wrote quite a few letters to each other about what they were up to.

In their second year, Draco had been a bit nervous that Sam might get hurt- especially after they both made it onto Slytherin's quidditch team. Once again, Potter and his friends saved the school, this time from a giant snake that wanted to kill all the muggle-born students.

Sam had never gotten hurt, much to Pansy Parkinson's dismay. Draco was pleased. He was curious as to why he was so concerned for Sam's safety when he truly didn't care about anyone else. He was going to spend his summer trying to figure out why.

Due to not wanting to drag this on by actually writing out the first two years fully, I'm just giving you that little description. This way we can get right to the good stuff with Sam and Draco, as well as learn who Sam's real dad is.
