"Emma."
"What is it Ginny?" still sleepy, Emma said the redhead as she saw her walking down the stairs of their dormitory.
"Lavender told me that you came in late last night." She whispered as she went near her, "Is everything okay with you and Tom?" she asked.
Upon hearing Tom's name, Emma shot up her brows and smiled weekly, "Uhm everything'd alright Ginny, we just . . . talked, that's all."
The female weasley just nodded, "So what's your schedule for today?" she asked, trying to change the subject as both of them exited the Gryffindor dormitories and walked towards the Great Hall.
"I'm having Potions with Snape this morning, Divination, Transfiguration and Charms. Then I have some extra classes to attend to. " she said as she gripped slightly the books she's carrying. "Ugh, who knew Hermione literally took these extra classes." she groaned.
"Hermione really really really loves her education." Ginny rolls her eyes with that and chuckled, "I'm sorry Em."
"Oh it's alright Ginny," Emma smiled fondly, "I, too love learning. I took classes even during the filming of my movies, even though it was so much stress and very tiring - not to mention with the career I'm holding as an actress, I still give time on my education."
Ginny made a face which made Emma roll her eyes, "Yeah, you really are like Hermione Granger. The muggle version."
Emma laughed with that as the two Gryffindors made their way inside the Great Hall. As they approached their table, Emma spotted the familiar raven haired and redhead eating their breakfast. "I'm gonna talk to Luna for a bit, see you later Emma." said Ginny, "Okay, see you Gin." she smiled.
"Good Morning." Said Emma as she sat down next to Harry. The two boys smiled and returned a greeting to the muggle actress, "So, Emma how's your sleep?" said Harry as he took a sip of his juicee, "Oh it was great, thanks for asking. You?" Emma returned as she started to eat her breakfast.
"It was great." He smiled, Emma just shrugged and smiled back. "So, we have Potions for first subject. I hope Snape forgot about everything that had happened yesterday." Emma sighed as she took her drink, "Hmm is this what Pumpkin Juice tastes like? It's delicious." She said making Harry chuckle.
"I doubt that he'll let that pass, especially what Malfoy did." piped in Lavender as she sat down next to Ron. "Good Morning Lav." Ron said as he smiled at his girlfriend, "Morning WonWon." She said as she have her a peck on his lips, "Morning Hermione, Morning Harry, where's Ginny? And Have anyone seen Longbottom? I still have to return the notes I borrowed from him yesterday."
"Morning Lavender." Emma smiled as she opened her Potion's book for some reading for the her class, "Morning Brown." said Harry - "Neville's talking to Hannah and Ginny's -"
"-Here" cut Ginny as she kissed Harry on the cheek, "Good Morning everybody." she said cheerfully. "You look like you're in a good mood." said Ron, "Because Ronald, I am in a good mood today." Ginny retorted, "May I ask why?" asked Harry, Ginny rolls her eyes at her boyfriend as she gave him a peck on the lips, "because I just had a wonderful dream about us." she winked making Harry to smile boyishly.
"And may I ask what it's all about?" He grinned, "Well, it's involving, you, me, and the broom closet." she giggled as Harry kissed her on the lips. "Oh sweet Merlin! Please don't do that infront of my face, it's ruining my meal, come on!" yelled Ron making Lavender laugh.
"Oh don't be such a git Ronald." said Ginny between her snogging session with Harry, as Harry continued kissing his girlfriend a literally ignoring Ron, "I swear Harry, I'll going to hex you if you don't stop eating my sister's lips infront of my face, go do it elsewhere!"
"Fine." said Ginny as the stopped and stood up, "Come on Harry, let's make my dream a reality." she winked making Harry grin boyishly as he too, stood up and fix his messy hair but Ginny pushed back his hair making it messy again, "I loved it like that, you look hot."
"Later Ron, see you at Potions Em." said Harry as they left. Emma just waved at the two and laughed as she saw Ron's annoyed face while Lavender laughed.
"Chill Won won, just finish your breakfast." Lavender said, "I can't believe you just laughed, it's my sister and my bestfriend, it's still weird." Ron said making Lavender shook her head and chuckled, "So Hermione, still sticking your nose on that book again?"
"Yes Lavender, I need to catch up with some lessons for Potions this morning." Emma replied while still reading the book, "Catch up?" Lavender asked as she shot her brow, "Why do you need to catch up? You're even way ahead of Snape." she rolls her eyes.
Emma just giggled, "Oh and as much as I don't like disturbing you while you study, but look at the Slytherin table, Malfoy's staring at you like crazy." she whisper.
Emma stopped reading and turned around, seeing the familiar stormy gray eyes looking back at her, as he too was holding his Potions Book, "Yeah." Emma whispered to herself, she caught Tom smile at her weekly as Emma returned a week smile at him, "Talk?" She saw Tom mouthed.
Emma shooked her head and gave him an apologetic smile as she waved her book at him, "I'm reading. Maybe later?" she mouthed back. Tom nodded and smiled at her, "Okay."
Emma looked away and returned to her book, "You know, I can't help but think something's off with you and Malfoy." Lavender said as she smirked, "What are you talking about?" Emma asked, "Well, for starters, usually you and Malfoy stick together, but what I noticed yesterday and this morning, it's quite different, did you two fight or something?" she asked curiously.
Emma's eyes widened, "Uhm . . . No, ofcourse not why would we?" She chuckled nervously, Lavender on the other hand shot a brow at her, "Whatever Granger, but sooner or later you two will date, finally."
"Huh?"
Lavender rolled her eyes again, "Oh come on Granger, it's quite obvious you and Malfoy are made for each other." she said as she stood up and took her things, kissed Ron on the cheek and said, "I better get going to class, see you later Won won." Ron smiled and kissed his girlfriend as he returned talking with Semus and Dean, "Bye Hermione." Lavender said as she winked at her and left, leaving a bewildered Emma Watson.
"Well that's weird."
Yeah, Draco and Hermione may be made for each other. But me and Tom? Not in a million chances like that's going to happen.
"So . . ."
Emma turned her head to her right where the voice came from, as she caught sight of Tom taking a seat next to her, she just stared at him and then watched the other students enter the dungeon for their Potions Class.
"Hi Tom." said Emma, hesitantly. "Uhm, Hey Em." replied Tom.
There was an awkward silence 'till Tom shifted his seat and faced Emma making her stop reading her book, "What?" she asked, "Listen I think -"
"Settle down." a low voice was heard on the door as all the students kept silent quietly, "Let'e just talk later Tom or else we'll get in trouble again, and please -" Emma faced him; "- please behave this time." she said.
Tom Felton faced Alan Rickman or much like to be called as Snape, on the door silently facing his students until they met each others eyes, causing Tom to gulp, hard.
"So, Mr. Malfoy." Snape suddenly said as he slowly walked inside the room, all eyes were placed on Tom, "Tell me, What is the basic ingredients in making a Polyjuice Potion."
Tom and Emma exchanged worried glances as Tom turned paler than usual. He stood up and stared at Snape's pitch black eyes.
"Oh god."
