A/N: I know it seems like it's been a while since I updated this mini fic and I apologize for that. Life has gotten in the way and I've been neglecting my writing a bit lately. However, with the recent hurricane activity where I live, I've had a bit of time to get some things finished off and ready for posting due to my school not having power, which means we can't have the kids there.

Much like previous chapters, The War is Over and Break Up Of the Century, this article was originally written for the prologue of Turn Around Bright Eyes before I changed my mind with the direction that I wanted to take the story in. Obviously the story line I have going with that story now is much more enjoyable in my opinion than this direction would have taken me.

This article was self-betaed, so I apologize profusely for any typos you may encounter as you read along. They are all my own and I take full responsibility for them.

Malfoy Heir and the Snowbunny

Witch Weekly

10 August 1998

TYROL - How does the Malfoy heir opt to spend the last of his free time before the Ministry work kicks into full gear at the end of August? Our reports show he has chosen skiing down the slopes of Hintertux with his latest choice of snow bunny.

Draco Malfoy was spotted at the beginning of the week skiing down the slopes for his last vacation of the year. This was only three weeks following his break up with Astoria Greengrass, and sources say he was seen hanging out with none other than Greengrass's sister, Daphne.

Odd, don't you think? Our sources says the pair seemed rather cozy with one another when spotted not on the slopes.

It does appear rather curious that Malfoy made the decision to move from one sister to another, but it was a possibility that had been predicted according to sources close to the Greengrass family. During the last few months of their time at Hogwarts, Malfoy and Astoria's relationship had been revealed to the world, but it appeared off to a slightly rocky start.

It is believed that the pair had been dating for some time before the war began. It has also been rumored that there was a betrothal contract in place between the two families, requiring that Malfoy wed one of the Greengrass daughters at the completion of their time at Hogwarts.

Neither sister was explicitly spelled out in the contract, allowing Malfoy to have his choice of the two. However at the end of the war, all of the betrothal contracts signed between families of the Sacred 28 families became null and void as the Dark Lord fell.

To many, this was a sigh of relief and it was the end of an era of the parents controlling whom their children chose to be romantically involved with. However to some, it appeared to be the source of family chaos. Although, isn't that the case anytime there is a change in the governing rules of a society?

During his time at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy was associated romantically with Astoria. However it was rumored that he was spending many of his evenings with the older of the two sisters. They were often seen sneaking around after hours. No one really seemed to bat an eye at the situation seeing as it was all within the agreement of the betrothal contract in place.

Now that the contract is no longer in existence, Astoria has been willing to speak out about the rumors that began arriving after Draco and her sister were spotted outside of the country. "Nothing was ever set in stone. The contracts that the Dark Lord had drawn up were very detailed and no one really understood any of the loopholes that were found inside of them."

When asked about her feelings regarding the rumors, her answers came across very diplomatic, which is to be expected of someone yielding the Greengrass family name. "As much as I would have liked it to me that Draco had chosen to be with, I have nothing negative to say about their relationship. Each of them are free to be with exactly who they want to be with. I will always be there to support my sister in anything that she does."

We tried to get an interview with Malfoy, but he was a little difficult to catch as he flew past us on the slopes. Hopefully when the pair finally gets back from their trip we will be able to get a quote from the happy couple.

All of this information comes just a few days after the breakup of the other Hogwarts power couple, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. Who knows what happy couple could be next on the chopping block.

I know that if I were a couple that stemmed from a Hogwarts relationship, I'd be making sure to diffuse any situation that had the possibility to lead to a break up before things could get any worse.
