Hello readers!
Again with my in ability to update this story quickly! I do so apologize. I got distracted by a novel I started writing my senior year of high school and finally finished and have now started a second novel. Exciting I know.
On top of all of that I moved back to Oregon to find a job so I can go to school to become a tattoo artist.
Anyways enjoy.
Chapter Twenty-Six: Gossip Column
Contessa's POV
I sat at the Gryffindor table eating breakfast table eating a bowl of sliced up strawberries with sugar and cream. An owl came flying in and landed in front of Zoe holding out its leg. Attached was the Daily Prophet.
"Anything interesting?" I asked taking a bite of my fruit. She shrugged flipping through it.
"Keisha and Henry are engaged, Uncle Harry has rounded up yet again some more dark wizards, and has turned down being made Minister of Magic, apparently you and Callahan are having trouble." I felt myself choke a little on my fruit and cream.
"What?" I gasped choking as Lexy pounded my back trying to clear my system out. Zoe unfolded the paper and started reading
"Trouble in Paradise, by Rita Skeeter. It appears in the weeks approaching the new school year Contessa Black, Daughter of War hero Hermione Black and her Quiltite husband Jacob Black, has been seen without an engagement ring Callahan Brown Quidditch Seeker for Puddlemere United. This reporter has discovered that Contessa Black has been writing Bulgarian Seeker Androv Krum son of Victor Krum. It appears that a liking for Krums runs in the family. As many remembers Contessa's Mother Hermione Black (one time Hermione Granger) had her own short lived relationship with the older Krum male Victor." Zoe looked up at me shocked and slightly appalled, she bit her lip scanning ahead in the article. "It gets worse do you want me to keep reading?" She asked,
"I want to you to keep reading, I know it's all fiction." I sighed a little sad wondering how it could possibly get worse
"Not only is Contessa having a fling with Androv Krum; but Callahan Brown is rumored to be involved with Wizarding Supermodel Aria Trubunskia. The two were seen canoodling after a Quidditch match a few days ago. With all these relationship indiscretions will the golden couple stay together? However in happier news it does appear that there will finally be a union for the Potter Weasleys and the Black Grangers. Zoe Black and Albus Potter seem to be on the right track towards a real true wedding." Zoe trailed off setting down the paper.
"Aria Trubunskia is beautiful." I whispered looking down, "She's also eighteen." I whispered sadly standing up from the table,
"Tessa, you know Rita Skeeter is a liar." Lexy tried to console me following me following me out of the room. "Besides, Cal loves you, why would he cheat on you with Aria Trubunskia?" She asked following me back to the tower plopping down on the common room couch pouting.
"Because she is gorgeous, and redheaded, and Russian; and brown eyed." I pouted some more "And Russian." Lexy chuckled resting her blonde head on my shoulder making a face,
"You are aware your brown eyes are ten times better than hers." She consoled, "And Cal loves you. And you know it's a lie, you were totally wearing your promise ring, and you still are." I smiled looking down at my pretty diamond promise ring.
"She said they canoodled." I stated still feeling sorry for myself. Lexy rolled her eyes hugging me ,
"He probably gave a fan a hug; you know you're his girl. I never told you this but this summer at one of our family dinners he told our mom and dad that he wants to spend the rest of his life with you. I smiled,
"Really?" I said smiling. She nodded,
"He told Mom, that he felt like he is supposed to be with you, like you and him our supposed to be the second chance that his sperm donor and your mom never got." I giggled; I was one of the few people who knew he called Ron his sperm donor.
"I love him so much. I should probably talk to him about this; make sure he doesn't think I'm actually cheating on him with Adrov Krum." I giggled Lexy giggled
"I don't think you Granger woman are meant to end up with those Krum men." I giggled looking up,
"He is really cute, but I love Cal so much."
