"What happened?" A worried voice exclaimed.
"I just saw them both lying on the floor. No cuts nor bruises, they just laid there, I don't even know why."
"We checked the CCTV cams earlier, the video was cutted I think someone tampered it."
"Impossible. I talked to the person incharge- there was no one inside the room except for him, and the security told us and other costumers said no one even went the spot both Tom and Em were found."
"Perhaps it was because of the food they ate?"
"No Mr. Radcliffe, it wasn't food poisoning. They were just experiencing over fatigue."
"So you're saying they're fine, then?"
"Yes Mr. Rupert both your friends will be alright. They just need some rest."
The group sighed in relief, "Phew, good."
"I better get going, It's getting late. I'll see you guys tomorrow."
"Us too. Erm- do you mind both of you stay here for a while until both of them wakes up?"
"Sure. Alex called saying he's coming for Emma, so it won't be a problem.
"Okay, call us if anything goes wrong alright?"
"Okay, we'll update you all later."
Steps were heard coming out of the rooms as both boys were talking again with the doctor.
"Hmm" all of them froze as they heard a sound coming from the pair who were lying on the bed, their beds were placed beside each other. Both slowly opening their eyes.
"Mr. Felton, Ms. Watson. Good thing you're both awake. The doctor said as he fixed his eyes on the pair looking absolutely confused. "Don't worry, both of you were just experiencing over fatigue. It's best if you both go home, take some rest and take a leave tomorrow." He continued.
A raven haired beside the doctor spoke up, "That's a good idea- you both take some rest, three days from now will be the premiere night and I don't want you both to miss it." He smiled.
The brunette lying on her bed stood up, completely bewildered and glanced at the boy lying on the bed beside her. Both of them stayed silent- completely speechless.
"Mr. Grint and Mr. Radcliffe can I have a word with you, it'll take only for a minute." The doctor said.
"I'll come with- we'll pay for their bills anyways." A blonde boy said. "You sure, Alex? Your sister might need some talking right now." said a ginger haired boy.
The blonde shrugged and faced the two and smirk, "Neh she has company anyways." The three boys chuckled and followed the doctore outside their room.
After a few moments of silence...
"WHERE THE BLOODY HELL ARE WE?!" the pale boy beside the brunette cried- "Draco? Uh- your hair?" The brunette spoke up as she pointed her finger towards his hair.
The boy quickly glanced at the mirror- thanked mentally for whoever placed a mirror beside him- then gasped at what he saw. His platinum locks were. . . golden brown. Instead of silver hair he had brunette hair like the girl next to him and his eyes, it wasn't stormy gray orbs anymore but it turned blue.
"What? What the-?!" He gazed towards the girl beside him and widened his eyes, "Yours! It's been cut short!" He pointed out.
She took both her hands above her head and gasped as she felt her long curly hair no more, her hair was cut shorter than usual and it was straight.
Before she could even say something, the boy next to her exclaimed, "Where in bloody Merlin's beard are we?! What is this?! That! That! That!" as he pointed out the machines next to him, the television infront of him, the airconditioner at the corner and other appliances that were unfamiliar to him. "Why aren't we in the bloody restricted section?! Where the last place we've been?! We're not even in the hospital wing! And what the Salazar's pants are we wearing!"
Still bewildered, Hermione said quietly, "I think we're in the hospital- the muggle hospital. The man back there wasn't a healer, it was a doctor." She muttered.
Draco's face was painted with shock expressions that no one could've even imagine seeing a Malfoy wearing. "WHAT?!" he cried. "HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE!" He started to panic but just then Hermione cutted him off, "Shut the bloody hell up Malfoy, they are coming." She hissed.
Malfoy tried to gain his composure but still failed. His eyes still painted in worry and panic. He just couldn't believe why he had ended up in a muggle hospital. The last time he checked, he was in Howgarts then he was here! This is atrocious!
"Emma! Tom! Are you alright?" The rave haired boy cried as he- along with two others- hurriedly walked towards the pair.
"Emma? Tom?" She muttered under her breath. "Potter! We need some explaining here! Why are we in the muggle world!? What happene to me?! and what the bloody hell are you wearing?!" Draco brust out, panic still flowing from his voice.
"Potter?" Dan laughed. "Seriously Tom, don't play around." The three men infront of them burst out laughing. "What's so funny Potter?! Weasley?! You think this situation is laughable?! You see my hair here, it changed! What the bloody hell happened?! And who is that you're laughing with?!" Draco spat as he pointed out Alex Watson.
Hermione just stood silent, watching them. "Tom, I know you all are devastated knowing that the series has ended- but please, don't play around like that! It's creepy!" Alex cried between his laugh.
"Seriously, Tom- stop it." Rupert laughed. "Series?" Emma asked, bewildered. "What series? What are you talking about?" She continued.
The three boys stopped laughing and looked at her, "The Harry Potter series. Duh." Dan said, chuckling. "Seriously you two. Stop it already." Rupert said still red from laughing.
"Harry Potter- what?!" Draco yelled, "Oh Merlin!" He cried some more and covered his face with his hands, "Harry this isn't funny anymore!" Emma- well, Hermione- exclaimed.
"Yea' Em, he's Harry Potter, I'm Ron Weasley, he's Draco Malfoy, you're Hermione Granger and he's Alex Watson your brother." Rupert pointed out, still chuckling.
"Brother?" Draco faced them, "Granger doesn't have a brother, Weasley!"
"Yea' Hermione doesn't have, but Emma has one." Dan said. Amused but confused of his friends' actions. "and you Tom, got three."
"WHAT?!" Draco exclaimed, eyes widened. "I'M THE SON OF LUCIUS AND NARCISSA MALFOY. HEIR OF THE MALFOY HOUSEHOLD AND I GOT NO BROTHERS AND MY NAME IS DRACO MALFOY."
Dan, Rupert, and Alex exchanged worried glances and watched them both, Hermione inside Emma- turned pale along with Draco who was in Tom's body "Okay honestly you both are starting to creep my out." Rupert said.
"Look, can you three leave us for a moment, I'm going to have a word woth him, alright?" Hermione said in a calm voice, the three nodded.
"Okay- just stop that joke of yours when we get back, that was weird." Dan sad then the trio left the room.
Hermione gazed towards Draco, "Listen Malfoy, I myself is also confused here, but come on, you don't need to throw a tantrum like that! I think they were not Harry, but I still don't get it when they said about a Harry Potter series, we'll figure this out but before that we just need to play along and act normal."
"WHAT?!" He exclaimed. "What do you mean they were not Potter! What series?! What is that?"
Hermione rolled her eyes, "They were saying about a movie alright? A Harry Potter movie." She couldn't believe what she was saying.
"Movie?! Potter has a movie-What?!"
Hermione groaned, "I still cannot answere that question of yours Malfoy, but we will find a way. I don't wanna be stuck here! Even though I'm a muggle born, I can't live without magic. In the meantime we will just play along with them wven though in we don't bloody know how to! Just act natural, act like a muggle-"
"I can't be a muggle! I'm a pureblood! I don't know bloody how! Can I just contact my father here-" Hermione cutted him off.
"We can't do magic! We are muggles right now! And we don't even have our bloody wand with us!"
"You know wandless magic, right? Draco asked her, she nodded. "Try it Granger, let's us see."
Hermione sighed and muttered, "Wingardium Leviosa." pointing her finger towards a mug but in their surprise- it didn't budge.
"See?" Hermione told him, Draco's face was covered in shock, yet again.
"-you heard them right? A movie! We are starring a movie that is- OUR LIFE. They know our names, don't they? But we don't know who the bloody are Emma and Tom! Just- I don't know how to explain this! Just use your brain Draco, I know you have one."
"How can I bloody contact you?! I assume we have different houses here, how can I reach you!? I know you can figure out how to live in a muggle but I cannot!" He started to panic. Thinking of many possibilities that would happen.
What would he say? What would he act? How can he live? He doesn't know how to talk to muggles and even act like one.
"With this." Hermione reached out for the purse in a desk beside her bed, sighing in relief she saw a mobile phone inside the purse. She got up from her bed and moved towards Draco- who still plastered with a bewildered face- Hermione reached out his pockets and with satisfication, she took out the box inside. His phone.
"What the bloody hell is that?!"
"It's called a cellphone, Malfoy." She rolled her eyes. Damn teaching a pureblood with muggle stuff is so head aching, "You should've took Muggle Studies, Draco." She drawled. " . - no offense." He spat.
"Now, how can I contact you with that?! Can't I use an owl or something?!" He asked. "No you can't Malfoy, obviously- and cellphones are way better. You swipe this screen to unlock, the dial me with this, and click this icon and talk to me." She instructed him and Draco click the green phone icon on the screen, like Hermione told him so.
Malfoy got starttled as he heard a ringing sound, it came from Hermione's phone that was clutched in her hand. "Look." Hermiome took her phone and answered his call.
"Do you get it now, Malfoy?" She said in the other line. Malfoy's face looked dumbfounded as he stared at his phone after hearing Hermione's voice coming from it. "This is bloody amazing."
Hermione let out a chuckle, bemused at her friend. "I just need some time for research and we can get through this, Malfoy." She said. Draco's worried face started to fade as his blue eyes locked up at Hermione's brown orbs.
"I hope so, well atleast we have each other. We can get through this- oh Merlin, when I come back home I will literally kiss the Hogwarts floor!" He exclaimed.
Hermione smiled with that, not because of his joke but because she sensed some hopes from his voice. "I will be really look forward to that."
Malfoy smiled at her and suddenly he opened his arms and took her inside his embrace, Hermione quickly hugged back, snuggled in his chest and sighed. Hermione and Draco were good friends back at the wizarding world- (Erm- which will be explained why, later) - even though they are stuck in a world were both of them don't belong. They know they can get through this.
The door abruptly swung open, revealing a ginger haired boy, a raven haired one, and a blonde one. The three were grinning wideley as they walked towards the pair- who both pulled away from the hug and looked at them.
"Now sis, let's go home." Alex said, "Erm-" Hermione looked at Draco who nodded and whispered, "I'll call you later." Hermione smile upon hearing those words. He may be having a chance in living in a muggle way. The three men infront of them watched and grinned widely, yet again.
"Okay- let's go. I'm tired." Hermione said as she took her purse, waving Draco and the two boys a goodbye, she followed Alex outside heading towards home- well, the thought of going 'home' made her shiver. She was nervous meeting the rest of 'Emma's muggle family.'
Draco, who was looking at the two boys infront of him after Hermione went out- arched a brow and asked, "Why are you smiling like that?"
Dan shaked his head, "Good thing you're not addressing me 'Potter' again." He chuckled, "You still like her mate, don't you?"
Tom looked at him with confusion. 'What does he mean by still?' He thought to himself.
"Okay okay we'll handle that issue tomorrow." Rupert chuckled, "Now let's go home, I'm tired." He continued.
Draco stood still, froze at his spot. "What's wrong, mate?" Dan asked, worried. "You feeling alright?"
Draco nodded, but was debating to himself for asking them how to get to his house. He can't just ask where his house was, it'll sound mental. "Er- can you guys drive me home? I'm- uh-"
Rupert smiled, "Say no more mate, I can drive you home. I know you still don't feel well."
Draco released a breath, he didn't know he was holding. "Okay, uhh thanks." The three walked outside.
"I'll see you in the premiere night mate, now go get some rest. Maybe we'll stop by here tomorrow." Rupert said as he drove away. Draco walked towards the door and er- knocked.
He still couldn't believe what he was doing. Suddenly a woman maybe from around 50's smiled at him, "Welcome back Tom dear, how was your day at the conference?" She asked him.
Draco stared at her for a moment then answered, "It was, alright." He said. The woman nodded and gestured him to come inside. The house was huge, it was unlike his Manor back home of course but the house was different, it had cream colored walls and white tiles instead of black ones, the room was full of lights from bulbs instead of enchanted ones. It was different, it was cozy.
"Uhm- can I ask you something- Uhm-" Draco ran out of words to say. He doesn't know how to. He can't just ask the name of the woman's name, can't he? It'll sound completely strange.
"- Oh don't tell me you forgot your Nana Alice's name?" The woman laughed, joking. But Draco didn't took it as a joke. "Oh I was joking Tom. So what is it you want to ask me?"
Draco rubbed the back of his neck? "Er- I was going to ask you where my parents and my- my uh- brothers are?" He sound quite unsure of what he just said that made the woman look at him confusingly, "Your Mum and Dad are in your old house ofcourse, your brothers too. Why are you asking me that-"
"- No, I- I was just making sure."
"Okay you need some rest now dear. Now, up you go. Goodnight." Then the woman left. Leaving a confused Draco walking upstairs. The house wasn't that big so he luckily manages to find his bedroom. He went towards the bathroom and took a quick shower and changed his clothes.
Examining the rest of the room, he caught sight of a picture near his fireplace. He was like 11 years old in that picture, he was with Hermione, Harry, and Ron, they were wearing their Hogwarts robes. Draco can't help but furrow his brows with that, he took the picture frame and saw something written at the back. 'First day of the shooting. -Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone.'
"Sorcerer's-what?" Draco placed the frame back where it belong and again, caught sight something interesting by the book shelf. Seven- seven books were piled up and he took one, entitled; Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone.
"POTTER OWNS A BOOK-?!"
Draco scanned the first few chapter in the book. Then he saw his name, eyes widened, he read it.
'Is it true?' He said. 'They're saying all down the train that Harry Potter's in this compartment. So it's you, is it?'
'Yes' said Harry. He was looking at the other boys. Both of them were thickest and looked extremely mean. Standing on either side of the pale boy, they looked like bodygaurds.
"Oh, this is Crabbe and this is Goyle," said the pale boy carelessly, noticing Harry was looking, "And my name's Malfoy, Draco Malfoy'
Draco dropped the book, he looked completely bewildered. "What the bloody hell was that?" He muttered to himself. "I did not even met Potter in that way, we met back in the castle after we got sorted and became friends along with Weasley and the other lions. This is- is just mental! and I'm mental! I'm talking to myself!"
Draco paced and stopped as he heard his phone rang. He quickly got it and answered, without even looking at the caller ID. "Granger?! Is this you?! Thank Merlin! I just red something horrible! It was-"
"-Tom! What are you blubbering about!?" A woman's voice laugh at the other line. Draco's eyes grew wider and checked the phone seeing, "Mum" in the screen. Draco gulped.
"It was nothing uh- mother." He said nervously. "Mother? When was the time you addressed me using that word?"
"-I mean, Mum." He answered quickly, "Oh Tom you're still not feeling well don't you? Well, I just heard what happened to you and Emma earlier. Is she okay?" She sound worried.
"Yes, she's fine now. I need some sleep- Mum, can you call again tomorrow?"
"Ofcourse Tom, I was checking up on you ofcourse. We'll see you in the premiere night. We miss you- I miss you. I'm so proud of you." She said softly. Draco can't help but feel in pain in his chest as he heard 'Tom's mother' saying those words. Now he misses his Mother, Narcissa. His real mother, Draco's mother.
"Thank you. Take care- Mum. I'll see you soon."
"I love you Tommy. Goodnight." and with that she ended the call. Draco sighed, he rembered his Mother calling him 'Dragon' instead of Draco, sometimes. Oh how he wish he can talk to his mother and tell her all about this mess. He badly wanna go back home.
Then again, his phone rang seeing "Em" in the caller ID. His face lits up and answered it, "GRANGER! OH THANK MERLIN IT'S NOW YOU." he exclaimed.
Hermione on the other line, giggled but stopped recalling what he just said, "What do you mean- now? Who called you earlier?"
"Tom's mother, I suppose." He answered, "and how did it go?" She asked, worriedly. "Don't worry, It was alright but sweet Salazar their's a woman in this house, you know you muggle calls as slaves?"
"-maids Draco. They're called maids, not slaves." Hermione laughed, "Oh, okay. It was weird though, I was used to houseleves not some old lady." He mumbled.
"Don't worry, this'll be over soon."
"So, how about you?" Draco asked, concerned. "I'm alright Malfoy, really. I can manage, but I don't think I can play this for too long. Look, I saw some books in Emma's room here, and some photographs of us too along with Harry and the others as well. It's so weird, really weird."
Draco snorted, "I know."
Hermione sighed, "How about I come by there tomorrow morning, It's probably for the best since no one is staying there except for you and your maid, right? We'll talk about this tomorrow, but righy we both need some sleep. This was a long and stressful night."
"I know." Draco sighed, "Goodnight Hermione." Hermione smiled upon hearing her name, they rarely call each other in their first names, they are more like last name basis even though they're good friends. "Goodnight, Draco."
Malfoy smiled as he ended the call and placed the odd looking box what they called phone, above the table. He jumped up into the bed and turned off the lights using the switch.
"I can't get used to this." He muttered as he faced the ceiling. He misses his home. He missed his bed in the Slytherin common room, he missed his icy cold dormitory. He missed the emerald green sheets and curtains. He misses their world.
Hermione on the other hand, thought of just the same as Draco did. She misses Harry and Ron even though Rupert and Dan looked exactly like them, It wasn't the same. She misses her Gryffindor friends, the warming atmosphere of their common room, her scarlet red sheets on her bed. She misses their world, also.
"This will be over soon." She muttered to herself, before she closed her eyes.
