Arfea - They'll be meeting Alan soon!

Master Elora Dannan - Yeah, I thought a castle would be more fun!

Ok, just calm down and write and take your mind off things. Sorry, I have a French oral of Friday and I'm panicking major time! Argh!

Chapter 9

Walking quickly to keep up with Chris the five looked around in amazement. And then Chris led them through a door into what was obviously the Great Hall.

"Wow!" Tom whispered to Dan.

"This is amazing!" Obi-Wan whispered back.

"And we get to share a room along with Rupert," Tom whispered.

"What?" Rupert asked in a whisper, having heard his name.

"We were just talking about how amazing this is and the fact that we get to share a room," Tom told him.

"We were just whispering actually, not talking," Dan quipped causing the three of them to dissolve into laughter and causing Chris, Emma and Bonnie to turn and look at them.

"Well, I'd have never have guessed that Draco Malfoy would get along with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley," Chris joked, laughing along with the five of them. Chris then left them and they went and stood near the window.

"What is it like here, do you think?" Emma asked.

"Who knows, but it's going to be fun!" Dan told her.

"I wonder what the others are like, the adults, or professors should I say?" Rupert asked and joked at the same time.

"Hopefully we'll have a room to ourselves where we can just hang out together," Bonnie added.

"Yeah, just like we did on Courscant," Tom joined the conversation.

"It would be nice," Rupert agreed. "I feel like I'm in the way just sat to one side on a film set."

"Yeah, almost like we're not needed yet and they have nowhere else for you to go," Emma commented.

"Maybe they just want to keep an eye on us, or make sure we don't get lost or something. I feel very small in a place like this where I hardly know anyone," Dan told the others.

"At least we have each other," Tom spoke up.

Sat to the side of the 'Great Hall' set Dan, Bonnie, Emma, Rupert and Tom were very glad that they knew each other.

"Anyone see where Chris went after he left us?" Rupert asked his friends and fellow child-actors on the movie.

"No, but is that Richard Harris heading our way?" Dan alerted the others to the oldish man in a suit who appeared to be heading their way.

"Yes, but why would he be coming over here?" Emma wanted to know.

"Well, we do have to work with him," Dan pointed out in a whisper.

"Good point," Tom whispered back, none of them knew why they were whispering, it had just happened and seemed the right thing to do.

"And what would you five be whispering about?" a voice asked, startling them all. Richard offered his hands to Bonnie and Dan who stood and took them. The other three also stood up, Tom stood near Dan and Emma was in between Bonnie and Rupert.

"Now then, I will guess that you know who I am," Richard told them and was greeted with nods, "but I don't know you're names." The five looked up at him and Bonnie gave him a small smile, which he returned.

"I'm Bonnie," she told him shyly.

"And you're playing?" Richard prompted gently.

"Ginny Weasley."

Richard smiled and then looked down at the other child holding his hand. Dan smiled. "Daniel Radcliffe and I'm actually playing Harry."

Richard chuckled and smiled at the remaining three. "Emma Watson," Emma told him, "And I'm playing Hermione Granger."

"Rupert Grint and I'm playing Ron."

"And that leaves?" Richard turned to Tom.

"Tom Felton and I'm playing Draco Malfoy," Tom told him.

"Let me get this straight," Richard told them. "Bonnie, Emma, Rupert, Daniel and Thomas, correct?" Dan and Tom shared a look at the use of their full names but nodded none-the-less.

Richard turned and began leading the five children out of the room and towards the grounds. "Is this the first movie for all of you?" he asked. Once more he was greeted with nods. "And how old are all of you?" he then asked.

"Ten," Rupert told him.

"I'm also ten," Tom spoke up.

"Me too," Dan added.

"And me," Emma told him.

"I'm only nine," Bonnie voiced very quietly and Dan gave her a reassuring smile, which she returned.

"Nothing wrong with that," Richard told her. "The others are supposed to be a year older than you in the movie anyway."

By this time they were walking down the steps in front of the castle, all of the kids looking up at Richard admiringly. It was on the front steps that Jo caught up with them.

"Ah, Richard, I see you have met the child-cast that is here."

"Yes, I have had the honour," Richard told her with a smile.

Jo smiled back. "Stay there," she told them and walked a few places away from them and then turned back to face them.

"Of course! That camera!" Rupert exclaimed. The others stifled groans. This caused Jo to start laughing ,which in turn set the kids and Richard off.

"Come on now! Calm down!" Jo ordered them and once they had she took the picture.

"Another one for the folders," Bonnie commented.

"Yeah," both Dan and Emma agreed which caused the others to look confused.

"Do you want the pictures from the photo shoot for the folders?" Jo asked.

"Yes please, that would be great," Emma told her.

"How did the photos come out?" Rupert asked.

"Why don't you come and see?" Chris asked from behind them and he led the children off, leaving Richard and Jo talking on the front steps.

Chris stopped them outside a different door. "This will be your kind of common room whilst your here, ok?" He then led them into a room with comfy looking chairs spread around and all of the latest technology games spread around. There were three holovid stations and a load of holovids to watch as well as all the gamestations that had been invented and a load of games for each one. There was also a bookcase piled with books and a music station.

And there, on the wall opposite was a framed photo of the five of them. Dan and Bonnie where crouched in front of the other three and they all had smiles on their faces. They looked like normal happy children, they looked like friends who had known each other for a long time, they looked content.

"Come on now, bed for you I think," Chris told them and the five realised that they didn't have the energy to argue.

Chris led them up the grand marble staircase to the top floor, in the part of the castle, which wasn't going to be used in filming although the rooms they were sharing did look suspiciously like dormitories. Rupert, Dan and Tom had a room with a brilliant view of the lake and they realised that dusk was setting. There were also another two beds in the room they realised. Walking through the bathroom they realised that it connected to Emma and Bonnie's room which they just had to themselves.

"Goodnight," the three boys said to the girls.

"'Night," came the reply back and they all climbed into bed and turned the lights off.

"Wow!" Rupert commented to the dark room.

"You said it!" Tom agreed.

"Yeah," Dan trailed off sleepily. "Maybe we should get some sleep, there'll be plenty of time in the morning to explore."

"Yeah, 'night," Tome bade the others.

"'Night," Rupert and Dan said at the same time causing the three to giggle slightly before settling down to sleep.

Please, please, please review, even though this chapter was terrible!
