only one more left! It's History and that's an easy A*, so I'll just write
for now!
Chapter 11
The five of them followed Alan silently back into the castle, had they done something wrong? After all, Jo, Mace and Chris had told them to go and play outside. All five of them had come to the conclusion that Alan suited his role as Professor Snape, the hated Potions Master.
Alan took them to the 'great hall' where the kids were intercepted by Maggie Smith and Alan went off to find Chris. The five, Dan, Bonnie, Emma, Rupert and Tom, stood in front of Maggie with their eyes fixed on the ground.
"Just ignore him," Maggie told them, "he gets into character very easily. Now, I'll guess that you lot are Daniel, Thomas, Bonnie, Emma and Rupert, although I don't know who's who. All I know is that you made a very good impression on Richard last night."
"I'm Tom," Tom spoke up, hoping against hope that she wouldn't be like Richard and insist on using his full name.
"It's Tom, is it?" Maggie smiled down at him. "Well, Richard insists on using full names, but I don't so don't worry."
Tom and Dan shared a look of relief, which Maggie saw and was instantly confused. "I'm Dan," Dan told her with a smile.
"Which leaves you to be Rupert, correct?" Maggie asked the red-haired boy who nodded in answer. "And now, who's Emma and who's Bonnie?" Maggie asked the two girls.
"Bonnie is the younger red-haired one and Emma is the sandy-haired one," Richard's voice came from behind them.
"Richard!" all the kids exclaimed together and Maggie smiled at her fellow actor kindly.
Richard held out his hands to the youngest members of the cast and they all gathered round him, this time it was Bonnie and Emma holding his hands, instead of Bonnie and Dan how it had been the other day.
Maggie grinned and joined them and the five found themselves once more heading back outside.
Soon the five found Maggie and Richard getting them to act with each other and themselves to see how the chemistry worked. Jo, Mace and Chris came out to watch and Alan joined the actors on the lawn. He and Dan stumbled through a 'Potions Lesson' scene causing everyone else to collapse in laughter, and too top it off, Jo managed to snap a picture of them. Alan scowled at her with made everyone collapse into laughter again.
"You know what I think?" Tom asked slyly, whilst trying to keep a straight face. The other kids dissolved into laughter, they had been discussing this earlier.
"I totally agree," Rupert, told him, which set the others off again.
"Same here," Dan agreed and Emma and Bonnie giggled.
"And do you know what I think?" Alan asked. "That you guys are totally not making sense!" At this everyone burst into laughter and the kids hoped that Alan's good mood would stay.
The five shared another secret look. "It's true, you know," Tom told the others.
"We know," they told him before collapsing into laughter again.
"What has gotten into you five today?" Chris asked mock seriously.
"We just think that that camera should be pointed at Jo more often," Tom choked out once the five had roughly gotten themselves under control.
"What?! No way!" Jo told them.
"Oh, come on Jo," the five whined together.
"Not going to happen," Jo told them. "You lot are the actors, not me."
The five shared another look and excused themselves. They ran up the steps and into the castle, and straight to their room.
It was about two hours later when Chris came and told them to eat something and after that they all went their different ways, Emma and Bonnie with Jo and Maggie and Rupert and Tom to play on one of the gamestations.
Mace led Dan outside and then round the back off the castle, where there was a large area of grass. "Well, then," Mace said mock sternly, going into Jedi Councillor mode.
Dan looked at him expectantly, having no idea what was going on. "Let's see how much you know, shall we Padawan Kenobi?" Mace asked whilst tossing Obi- Wan's lightsaber to him.
Obi-Wan grinned and ignited his lightsaber. He and Mace circled one another, Obi-Wan warily, waiting for Mace to make the first move. He did, and Obi-Wan countered, but knew he wouldn't be able to hold his own against the Master for long.
The 'duel' lasted for about five minutes before Mace got the upper hand and struck the 'killing' blow. Obi-Wan then had to do some kata practice, under Mace's watchful gaze. After having the same move corrected for about the fifth time, Obi-Wan grew a bit frustrated. Mace sensed this and came and stood behind the boy. He place his hands over Obi-Wan's and guided the boy through the rest of the kata. Obi-Wan was then made to perform it on his own, three times.
After this Obi-Wan was aching and exhausted and wanted nothing more than to take a shower and curl up with a good book. Heading back inside, Mace did indeed send Obi-Wan upstairs to take a shower and once finished Obi-Wan changed into tracksuit bottoms and a 'hover ball' shirt.
He grabbed an Astronomy book and headed door to the room he shared with the rest of the child cast to find Rupert and Tom watching a holovid. He smiled at them and settled into a chair. He ignored the noise of the holostation and got lost in his book. It wasn't long until Chris came along and stuck his head in to check that they were ok.
Not long after that Emma and Bonnie joined them. Emma was writing and Bonnie joined Rupert and Tom in watching the holovid.
Soon the five of them heard a Jo's voice, outside their room, not too far down the corridor. "Steve, we weren't expecting you until tomorrow!"
The holovid got turned off. The five looked at each other. "Steve?" Tom questioned. The others simply shook their heads. They got up and headed out of the room.
Jo was the first to spot them since Steve and Chris were busy talking. "Hey, you five," Jo greeted them. She got five nervous smiles in return.
Chris smiled and introduced them to Steve. "Steve, we have here, Bonnie Wright, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Tom Felton and Daniel Radcliffe," he said introducing them by name. "And you guys, this here is Steve Kloves, who is responsible for writing the script for the movie."
"Hello, you lot," Steve greeted them with a smile. The five smiled in return, not sure what to say.
Chris chuckled. "Well, you guys can bombard Steve with questions in the morning, but for now, bed," he told them.
The kids sighed, "Oh, very well."
Mace came into the corridor, smiling. "Go on, upstairs now."
"Night Chris, Jo, Steve," Dan told them. The others followed suit and went upstairs. "Night Mace," Dan told him, whilst giving him a hug.
"Night, Kiddo," Mace told him whilst ruffling his hair.
"Tell, Maggie, Richard and Alan, that I say good night, ok?" Dan whispered in his ear.
Mace nodded slightly and gave Dan a slight push towards the stairs where the others were waiting. Saying one final good night the children made their way upstairs and to their waiting beds. It wasn't long until the lights were out and all was peaceful.
Sorry this took so long, but please review!
