Be the time they reached the vicinity of their destination, the atmosphere outside turned dark, there was some light but with the excess cloud covering the sky and wind that was beginning to pick up everyone knew what was about to happen.
" I think we should directly head inside. It will start raining any minute now." Steve said looking at the grim sky.
" No let's head to the front of the venue. Kate you should go and wait for me inside, I don't think there will a proper red carpet tonight."
" You are going there alone?" She asked with a worried face. They did joke about quite a lot of stuff but she knew he would definitely be cornered if he went out there.
" I will be fine. There are many fans that wait for hours for autograph and photos. I can't let them down beside I don't think the reporters would have that much time to do anything other than take pictures." He shrugged.
" Alright good work."
" Boss, they have secured the perimeter. The other cast members are doing meet and greet with fans and there doesn't seem to be many reporters at the scene."
Samuel was a little surprised. He expected the place to be swarming with media personals. Did they decided to leave him alone? That's when his phone rang, it was Stephen the president of Warner Bros studios.
" Hello."
" Are you coming or not?"
" I promised I will right? I am few minutes out. Did something happen?" Samuel asked.
" Kind of, instead of everyone piling on you in rain. I decided it was best if we hold some sort of interview before the movie premier. It will be half an hour event which wouldn't disturb previous schedule." He bluntly told him what he had planned for Samuel.
" Whose side are you on really? Are you trying to get me grilled in front of everyone?" Samuel was baffled.
" Think about it for a second. It's better to say your peace in front of everyone instead of them chasing you around whole night. Let them ask whatever they want and give precise and factual answers, just don't try to cause another controversy."
" I can't promise you anything since you made the arrangement behind my back but i will attend it. Just make sure I go last so that others don't get complicated if it turned out to be controversial." Samuel thought for a second and it did feel like a great choice. It was one and done type of thing, whether they were satisfied with his answer in the end or not was not his priority.
Stephen informed him that someone would guide him to the venue upon his entrance before cutting the call.
" Steve go with Kate and make sure no one disturbs her. Kate, just wait for me for an hour. I will meet with you inside." She nodded. Since he had made up his mind, she didn't thought it was right for her to say anything about it.
The convoy separated going in different location that were marked key locations around the area. He dropped Kate off near the venue, the rain had started at this point so they had to make it quick.
" Amazing, I can't say the same thing about the weather. Every damn year it's the same." He was quite experienced at this point. Most of the questions were the same so he had a definite answer for most of it.
" What do you think about the girl out here today?" The second girl asked.
" hahaha, yeah, it's amazing. They are truly dedicated."
" What do you like? Skinny or curvy?" The first girl followed up with same line of question.
" Ahhh, a bit of both. A bit of both. It doesn't hurt."
" What about your dream girl?" Seeing that they were getting a bit more flirtatious, he pointing at his back and said," My girlfriend is standing behind me. So, that's pretty much is right there." His girlfriend was talking to someone else and didn't know why he was pointing at her all of a sudden. He expertly disregarded their answer which made them ask different type of questions.
" What is your process of playing a bad guy? Do you wake up in the morning and do some mirror work to get your mind in that state? Knowing that you have to do something that traumatic, regarding Draco?" It was a good question.
" I mean, credit to him. He is the one whispering in your ear and trying to get you into that mental state and you just have to keep shooting it."
" Do you listen to music or something?"
" Yeah, I actually try and think that I am him. I don't try to think that 'oh, my dog's dead' or something like that to make me cry. I try and pretend that I am Draco and not like I have a gun to my head or something like that."
" You know according to the source, Malfoy finally goes bad. How good does it feel to play bad in this one?"
" It's great. He is no longer calling him name and trying to take his head off. It's feel good to finally sink my teeth into the character." he said with a evil grin making it more believable.
" Do you think you are the best dressed harry potter character?"
" Well, I don't want to play my own trumpet but I think so. Well, compared to Weasley and his knitted jumpers, I get a fitted black suit. I think anyone would prefer that but I have to give some prop to Harry. It's hard to beat that guy's natural beauty!" He chuckled along with the reporters.
Samuel did look 'pretty' more than handsome sometimes especially when playing the role of Harry potter who was a meek character for first few installment.
" I heard that Sam talk off his clothes in one of the behind the scene footage. You were standing beside him right?"
" Well, I think that was obviously photoshopped. I mean how did he even manage to hide that thing under his clothes?"
They talked for few more minutes before a splendid modified Cadillac pulled around the corner. Samuel exited the car to the cheers of hundreds of his fans almost making everyone erupt with excitement!
