"You sure you're really not Draco? Because If I ever find out that both of you and Granger are just messing us up, I swear to Merlin-"
"Chill Parkinson, he's really not Draco. He didn't even know my eye alteration. Seriously, he looked oblivious." Phoebe smirked. "Oh, that eye thingy you both do that makes us freak out sometimes?" piped in Blaise. "Yeah, that." the pale witch replied smugly.
"Wait- what's the eye thingy?" asked Tom curiously as the four made their way to the couch.
"You - I mean, the Malfoys has this thing that if you are attached in their family, your eyes turns grey like them, like yours. Ever since I started living with the Malfoys, part of my hair changed into platinum blonde and my eyes constantly changed from pitch black into grey orbs. Just like Aunt Narcissa ever since she married Uncle Lucius. Gets?"
The muggle actor furrowed his brows with that, "Wait I don't get it. If you're Bellatrix's daughter, why aren't you living with her? Sorry it's not - it's not in the books."
"You see, Mum is in Paris along with Dad and she wants me to go to Beauxbatons since it's located somewhere in Europe but I declined." She paused for a bit and smiled, "Oh I remember your- I . . . I mean, Draco's look when he found out that I'll be moving to Paris, he was so heartbroken. Like a kid loosing a broomstick, that look was too precious." She laughed.
"Why did you declined?" Tom asked. Phoebe shot him an amused look and smiled, "because I don't want to be far away from Draco, he was like a long lost twin I've never had. We were practically inseparable. So when Aunt Cissy knew about it, she told Mum that I'll just live in the Manor. Besides, Hogwarts is far more better than there."
"And how did Bellatrix take it?"
"Ofcourse she and father had understand. And besides, I've got two other siblings with them, both second years. Corona and Helios. Corona's attending in Beauxbatons while Helios' in Durmstrang."
"Forgive me for asking this, but is your mother, you know - is she sane?" Tom asked making Pansy and Blaise snort, Phoebe arched her brows with that, "Mum's perfectly fine, but if you borrow her make up without asking, you'll be dead."
"Woaw, okay- Sorry but I'll be asking a lot of questions, it's just - just different than I've expected."
"You did mention that we excluding Phoebe there, are in a book. What do you mean?" asked Pansy.
Tom looked at the two Slytherin sitting across of him and sighed, "It's uhm - a long story. But i'll tell you everything you want to know, I promise. But . . . answer my questions first."
Pansy rolled her eyes, "Fine. What do you want to know?"
"What does Lucius Malfoy work?"
Pansy sighed and said, "In the Ministry along with Potter's and Weasley's father. He's the head Auror."
"Oh . . . kay. Does Draco have another sibling?"
Despite of that odd question, the young witch beside Tom just answered, "Nope." making the blonde boy sigh in relief, "Tell me more about Malfoy's family, his other cousins."
"Nymphadora and Cassandra Tonks, daughters of Aunt Anddy or should I say Andromeda. Uhm - oh our second degree cousins, Selene and Alexander, Uncle Sirius' children, and Uncle Regulus' daughter, Cassiopeia. That's it, so far." She shrugged. Tom was left dumbfounded.
Wow, this is some twist. First, he didn't know that Malfoy has eight cousins, when the book says he only had one, who was Tonks. Two, Bellatrix was prefectly sane (yes it was a big deal for him.) Three, Regulus was alive. Four, he needs to ask more questions, but he doesn't want to anymore, it's making him quite uncomfortable.
He had a lot of things in his head right now but there's one thing he's sure of. I have to get out of here before I could even meet the rest of Malfoy's family.
"Hey Felton, still there?" Pansy called out, making Tom snap out of his reverie. "Uhm- I have more questions." He said, making the three groan.
"Fine mate, ask away." said Blaise.
"So you're not really Hermione?" Ginny asked, for the fifth time. Emma sighed and said, "Yes, I am not Hermione Granger, will you please stop asking me that." Earlier, Harry, Ron, and Emma included Ginny and Neville.
"But - Draco and Hermione aren't dead, right?" piped in Neville. Harry, Ron, and Ginny exchanged glances and gulped, they didn't ask where their friends were but they do hope they're fine. But thinking them gone, gone is just too much for them to handle. But now that Neville's mentioned it . . .
"god No! ofcourse not! Er- I do hope not. I don't know. . . don't know where they are and why this happened but I'm sure they're still alive. They aren't dead. 90% tells me they're both in my world." said Emma rather quickly as she noticed the Gryffindors turning pale and looked at her with wide eyes.
"Okay, now that's been settled, how about you boys go ahead, we'll just change our robes and we'll go down to the great hall together for dinner." said Ginny.
"Fine." both boys said in chorus leaving the two alone. "Now, I want to know more about you, if you're really not Hermione, who are you?" the redhead girl asked the brunette. Emma sighed.
"I already told you, My name's Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson, I was born in Paris in April 15 1990, and I live in England. I am a muggle actor, and I play Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films."
"You're born in 1990 but this year's still 1998, so that means you must've -"
"- Time Travelled? Well maybe, that'll explain everything than us using a time turner, right?" the brunette smirked making Ginny arch her brow in amusement. "You act and talk like Hermione too."
The brunette smiled and shakes her head, "It's because I'm her. Well, not literally her but . . . Oh you get the point."
"So the guy who plays Draco Malfoy is -"
"- his name's Tom, Tom Felton. He played Draco since he was something between ages 11 or 12."
"You two seem quite close hmm?"
"Well yes, me and Tom. Uhm His like, a . . . a brother to me and - Okay can you please tell me why you're smiling like that?" Emma shot her eyebrow up as she noticed the redhead infront of her, smiling sweetly at her.
"What?" She asked innocently, "I didn't say anything." She giggled. Watson just blinked at her with a blank expression, as if she's waiting for her to finish talking. "Fine-" Ginny smiled as she sighed, "I've always pushed Hermione and Draco to each other, they just had this connection, you know. And seeing you, and err Tom, I also felt the same way like I had for my two friends. Those two are quite indenial, sometimes I just want to put some truth potion in their goblets so they would confess already, it's been years now, I just - It's just . . . Ughh! - uhm, did you get what I'm trying to say?"
Emma just giggled as she nodded, "Yes, but chill Ginny, love takes time. They'll come around, but in the meantime, just leave it with them, alright?"
The redhead nodded, "I just want to make up with those two, the two of them practically are the reason why Harry and I started dating."
"Oh?" The brunette asked curiously, "How so?"
"Well, for starters I've already met Harry ever since we were kids, cosidering our fathers work together in the ministry, I've met Draco there too. Malfoy and Ronald always teases me with Harry because I had this teeny crush on him when we were still 5." Ginny laughed with that and continued- "Years passed by, they had there own bussinesses, the boys would hang out more often leaving me behind, because ofcourse, I'm a girl and they have boys stuffs to do or sorta like that. Then when they started Hogwarts, I was all alone with Mum. Years gone by and fourth year came, there was this Yule Ball, I think you're familiar with that?"
Emma smiled as she remembered everything that had happened at that taping, "Yes, filming the Yule Ball scenes were trully wonderful." she said softly then frowned. She remembered, she remembered the time she and Tom were still close, when he would call her 'char' the time he asked her out for a dance even though they were only taping, the time everything was still alright.
"Hey Herm - I mean, Emma, you alright?" The redhead eyed on the brunette curiously, "Huh? Yes I'm fine, I just . . . remembered something. Well, continue on your story Ginny." She smiled, Ginny smiled back and sighed dreamily, "Well, as I was saying, it was the night of the ball, I was done getting ready then Hermione suddenly grabs my arm and drags me out of my room, and there, standing downstairs at the common room, was Draco, Ron, and the others but my eyes only caught sight of the boy who held up a bunch of roses in his arm, smiling at me."
"Awe Gin that's so romantic!" cried Emma as she clapped her hands. "Yes it was, trully a night to remember. Turns out Harry had always wanted to ask me out but haven't had the guts to do it so Hermione and Draco had planned all of it. Well, Ron was in it, but not much, you know, brothers." said the Weasley girl as she shrugged.
Emma giggled, "awe that's so cute! And I'm guessing Draco went out with Hermione that ball, right?" she asked, the redhead nodded and smirked, "See? Indenial!" she cried out making Emma chuckle. "But wait . . . How did Malfoy entered your common room, isn't it -"
"- Malfoy has his secrets Emma, even I didn't know how. I didn't even bother asking that ferret."
"Ferret?" asked the brunette. If Voldemort didn't exist in this world, how did Draco Malfoy turned into a ferret? I must've not been Barty Crouch Jr. aka Fake Mad Eye Moody, right?
"Oh, that!" Ginny laughed, "Hermione turned Malfoy into a ferret in their third year after Malfoy hexed her front teeth to grow huge thus calling him a beaver. The two of them didn't spoke to each other for a month after that accident." she continued as she laughed. Emma can't help but smile, it seems she want to know more about this alternate Harry Potter universe after all.
The Weasley girl giggled and stood up, "Okay . . . Emma, I think it's time for dinner the boys might think you capture me or something, they're still paranoid. You know, it's not everyday you get to hear your bestfriend being replaced by someone who's playing them from a book you know." She smiled causing Emma to giggle, "and speaking of books, I think you want to see the Hogwarts Library am I correct? And you've got to tell me what happened in those books."
Emma smiled and nodded, "You got yourself a deal Ms. Weasley." the redhead laughed with that, "Well Ms. Watson, I think we would become great friends." Ginny said as both of them descended from their dormetories. Ginny's bubbly personality is quite comfortable. She reminds me so much of Bonnie, literally.
"Oh guys and one more thing!" cried out Emma as the two girls caught sight of the three Gryffindor boys talking near the fireplace, "Not one word to anyone else, okay?" she said, in solemn.
Ginny, Harry, Ron, and Neville nodded in agreement, "Promise." they said.
Emma smiled at them, "Good. Now let's get to dinner, I heard the foods here in Hogwarts are to die for!"
and I have to speak to Tom, asap.
