"So Em, fancy going to Hogsmeade with us?" Ginny asked as she linked her arm at the muggle actress. Emma nodded excitedly and grinned, "I would love to!" she beemed. "Let me get a scarf first, it's chilly outside."
"How are you loving your butterbeer Watson?" Ron chuckled as he, Neville, Ginny and Harry watched Emma chugging her butterbeer. "Delicious!" she exclaimed, making the four Gryffindors laugh.
"But I'd already tried this you know." The muggle actress pointed out, "How?" asked Harry. "Well, when we had our fimling of the sixth Harry Potter movie -" making the raven haired wizard roll his eyes, " - we had this scene when Me, Rupert and Dan would go to the three broomsticks and ordered a butterbeer." She explained.
"You know, the more you talk about the movie, the more I'm getting more curious that I already am." Ginny began. "Same here!", cried Neville and Ron in chorus while Harry sighed with that, "Even though it sounds weird, I'd like to take a peak also." He said.
Emma smiled, "Hopefully I can make you guys watch it. Or maybe when the time comes, in the muggle world here in your time, would premiere it." She said. The four nodded and a few moments later, they heard voices at the entrance of the pub.
"Oi Malfoy! Fancy a butterbeer? My treat!" said a group of Slytherins across the room, the platinum blonde haired muggle nodded, then he whispered something at the girl next to him and the two walked in different directions. The girl sat down with some curious Slytherin girls near them, while Tom joined Blaise with some other Slytherins who were apparently his Quidditch team mates.
"Why was Tom walking in with Greengrass?" whispered Neville beside Emma as he glanced towards the Slytherin girl infront of them, "I don't know mate." replied Ron as he finished his butterbeer.
"Emma?" asked Ginny, "you alright?"
The muggle actress just nodded and fixed her eyes away from the Slytherin, "She looks so much like Jade." she whispered, "Jade who?" asked Harry as he took a glance at the girl, "That was Astoria. Astoria Greengrass, she's a year younger than us If I may not be mistaken." He said.
"But of course." Emma pointed out, frowning. "What is it?" they asked. "Astoria Greengrass was played by Jade Gordon - in the movies." she whispered sharply. "Who's Jade?" asked Ginny, furrowing her eye brows.
Emma sighed as she tried to smile but failed, "Jade Gordon is Tom Felton's girlfriend. Present Girlfriend." she said before finishing her butterbeer, leaving the Gryffindor with shock faces plastered on their face.
The group were lauging a loud as they walked outside Honeyduke's. "That was hilarious!" cried Emma
Ron scowled and continued to take a bite at his chocolate frog. "I can't believe you almost tripped the whole stack of chocolate frogs!" Harry laughed so hard that he took off his glasses and wiped the tears from his eyes.
By the sound of it they were enjoying roaming around the village- Dervish and Banges, the wizarding equipment shop, Zonko's Joke Shop, into the Three Broomsticks for foaming mugs of hot butterbear, and many more places.
"We know about your addiction towards sweets Ron, but come on!" Neville said. Emma and Ginny laughed along, "Laugh all you want, but we all know she pushed me causing me to accidentaly trip over." The redhead said jerking his thumb towards the muggle actress.
Emma grinned and plastered a shock fac, whilst her hand was placed on top of her chest dramatically, "I did no such thing." she said. Ginny laughed at her expression.
"Come on Emma," she said as she grabbed her arms, "We're heading to the loo. Wait for us here in a second." the weasley girl announced as the two of the left.
"I'm fine here Gin, I'll wait for you here." said Emma as she stood by near the door. "Okay," Ginny smiled sweetly before heading inside the loo, "I won't be long."
The muggle actress smiled. Seconds later she heard a group of girls chattering outside, realizing a familiar voice, Emma decided to hide behind the door and continued to listen as the girls passed by.
"Astoria, I'm still baffled really! Why on earth was Draco Malfoy offered to walk with you?" a girl said.
Astoria giggled, "I don't know either. I'm also shocked as you are. He just came over me at the common room and asked if what're my plans today. I told him about Hogsmeade, that I'll meet you guys at the three broomsticks so he decided to accompany me towards there." she said with a dreamy sigh.
"You fancy Draco Malfoy don't you? Well Tori I can't blame you. Just look at him!" a girl said. "Yeah, and Tori, you shouldn't have told him about you meeting us. You could've had him by yourself all day!"
Astoria giggled, "Well maybe he'll talk to me again in the common room. Who knows." then another voice followed, "Lucky you. Draco Malfoy is so cute, smart, plays excellent in Quidditch and very hot." the girl sighed.
"But I always thought she fancied Granger thought," said Astoria while her friend just let out a giggle, "Well maybe he grew tired of her." laughters were heard right after until the voices faded, leaving a annoyed muggle actress.
Rolling her eyes, crossing her arms and huffed in annoyance she said, "Stupid idiotic excuse of a -" Emma was cut off when Ginny Weasley cheerfully skipped towards the brunette and linked their arms togther. The redhead's smile faded as soon as she noticed Emma's furrowed eyebrows. "Hey Emma, what's the matter?"
Emma Watson's face went soft as she heard the redhead's voice sounding very concern. The brunette just smiled at her, "Nothing Ginny, I was just thinking."
Ginny, despite being unconvinced just nodded at her muggle friend. "Well, let's get going then, the boys are waiting." The brunette nodded and the two Gryffindors walked out of the loo and went to join the rest of their friends.
When dinner came, Emma just ate silently seated between Harry and Ron. Ginny and her brother were talking about Quidditch and Harry and Neville were having a talk about their Herbology class project. Emma felt out of place for a bit and just continued eating silently as her eyes wandered aroung the Great Hall.
The students were busy talking animatedly whilst eating and some were also bringing goodies from the wizarding village they just visited earlier, the teachers and staffs were chatting nonchalantly at each other. Emma sighed as her eyes lingered at the Slytherin table.
He spotted Tom chatting at Blaise and Pansy while Phoebe was chatting with a group of Slytherin girls. She caught sight of Astoria Greengrass, who was sitting right next to her sister Daphne, staring adoringly at the blond. Emma was about to roll her eyes but immediately froze as she spotted Tom looking at the Slytherin girl's direction who nodded and smiled at her. Blaise and the other didn't seem to notice and Phoebe and the girls didn't seem to either. But Emma did, Emma noticed Astoria's grin, pink tints on her cheeks, and Tom's charming smirk. All in all, it made Emma annoyed.
It was like Jade Gordon all over again.
"Em, have you memorized your lines already? We're starting the scene in five minutes." a staff said as the brunette nodded.
Emma just stood there, rehearsing her lines as the make up and costume artists were busy fixing her hair and clothes for their next scene. She spotted Dan pacing back and forth mumbling incoherent words on his own, probably rehearsing his lines, while Rupert was reading his script with a coffee on his free hand whilst make up and costume artists were busy preparing him too.
Just as the staffs finished their job on Emma's hair, make up and clothes, the brunette thanked them as she caught sight of Tom at the back of the room. He was having a conversation with Jason Isaacs and Matthew Lewis. Jason and Matthew laughed at something Tom just said just as the blond looked passed them and Emma noticed he was checking out on Jade, one of their stunt directors, who was busy talking with her crew. Emma furrowed her brows as she caught sight of Jade looking at Tom's way, who nodded and smiled.
The brunette noticed Tom Felton's smug look and satisfying Malfoyish smirk and Jade Gordon's blush on her cheeks and a grin plastered on her lips.
Emma was about to roll her eyes when she immediately stopped as the director called in their attention for shooting the next scene.
"Hey are you alright?"
Emma snapped out of her thoughts as she felt a hand on top of hers, it was Ginny. "I'm fine Gin." she said.
"Are you sure? You seem tensed, is something wrong?" Ron asked beside her, also looking a bit concern. "Yeah, you looked red Em." followed Neville.
Emma inhaled sharply as she felt a hand on her shoulder, "What's the matter Emma?" asked Harry. Emma shook her head, her cheeks grew warm all of a sudden.
"Nothing, I'm fine." she said, sounding stern. Ginny furrowed her brows, she knows that something's off. "Are you sure?" she asked again. And with that Emma closed her eyes shut saying, "I said I'm fine." she stood up quickly, letting her plate and goblet fall from the table causing it to break into pieces as it made contact at the hard stoned floor thus making the whole Great Hall silence.
Students were looking at her, as she completely froze at her spot. Harry, Ginny, Neville, Ron and the rest of the Gryffindor table looked at her with a shock expression plastered on their faces. Dumbeldore looked at her confused and she even spotted Snape narrowing his eyes on her. She caught sight of the Slytherin table were Phoebe, Blaise, Pansy and including Tom staring at her with concern faces. Tears began to build up at her eyes as it met Tom's stormy grey ones.
And with that, she stormed out of the Great Hall. Students followed their gaze at her as they heard the double doors closed.
Dumbeldore cleared his throat and the students began eating and chatting again. Harry, Ginny, Neville and Ron exchanged glances at each other as the lot focused their eyes at Tom who stood up and shrugged at them. Phoebe, Pansy and Blaise too were curious at Emma's sudden outburst as they stared Tom, the blond just shrugged, nothing to say.
Tom Felton felt Dumbelore's gaze so he gazed at his direction, the old wizard just nodded and the boy moved out of his seat and left the place, following the brunette.
