"Alright, I am determined to get at least one ruddy scene shot today.
Understand?"
"Yes, Miss Corrona."
"Soon to be Lupin," Remus added under his breath.
"Stop!" Luna cried. "Who said that?" The cast members looked at
each other, and Sirius raised his hand.
"It was not," said Luna, getting off the chair and passing Sirius to
kiss her fiancée.
"Okay, quiet on the set." Someone was humming something, and it
didn't stop there.
"If ya want my body, and ya think I'm sexy-"
"SIRIUS!!!" the entire cast yelled. He looked at his feet and
blushed. Sally gave him a kiss on the cheek, and he perked right up.
"Right," Bernie, one of the stagehands said, "The scene where those
freaky kids get into the Department of Ministries and wonder what the f-"
"BERNIE! I CAN STILL DOCK YOUR PAY!" Bernie stopped for a moment,
and looked at his boss, whom he'd been eager to strike out at since the
filming had begun.
"Not according the Union, you can't, Miz Corrona. I'll call my
lawyer, and-"
"Bernie, I am your lawyer! I represent the Union!!"
"Mind if I do this," a voice said from behind her.
"M'Shenda!" Luna hugged her best friend.
"You didn't think I was going to let you direct this yourself did
you?" Luna smiled.
"The veil scene, take one. Bernie, you're fired. Action!"
"Excellent," said M'Shenda. They turned their attention to the set,
where Luna Lovegood was delivering a line. Luna Corrona and M'Shenda
shared dark looks.
"You know," said Luna darkly, "my author created me before anyone
even knew when the 5th book was coming out."
"Quite right," said M'Shenda.
"What is behind the veil," asked Ginny. They paused for a moment,
because a woman scantily clad in a sort of bunny outfit walked behind the
veil with a tray containing drinks.
"Alright," they heard Severus Snape's voice coming, "one-eyed jacks
and kings are wild." Anyone want to lay a bet?" Luna and Sally exchanged
raised eyebrows. Luna gave the time out signal to M'Shenda, who had taken
over the filming for the day. She instructed the cast to be silent, as she
crept to the veil, and listened outside of it. On the count of three, Luna
ripped the veil aside, to see most of the male cast and production crew
playing cards, drinking beer, and some of them smoking cigars, as what
appeared to be Playboy bunnies were serving them more drinks.
"REMUS JOSHUA LUPIN! IS THIS YOUR IDEA OF A PRE-NUPTUAL
AGREEMENT?!?!" Remus dropped the cards, and Sirius Black started laughing,
until Sally came running over and hit him.
"YOU"RE SLEEPING ON THE SOFA TONIGHT!"
"CUT!" screamed Luna and M'Shenda at the same time.
