"So what will we do now?" asked Draco as he took a seat next to Hermione. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, "I think I'm going to have a bloody headache after this." He though to himself.
"Well -" began Dan as he crossed his arms and sighed, "I just got a text from my Manager." he said as he opened his flip phone, "It said that I have to go in 10 minutes, some interviews and all."
"Us too." sighed Bonnie and Rupert in unison. "We have some guesting with the Phelps twins. You know, a Weasley interview." chuckled Rupert. Draco rolled his eyes playfully and smirked.
"So it leaves to Me, Draco, Matt and Evanna?" asked Hermione, "Uhm -" the blonde girl said, "I also have somewhere to go, and it's urgent too." Evanna said sadly.
"Sorry guys." Bonnie said, "We really love to stick around, but we're kinda busy. All of us, including you, you know. It's just a matter of time when you two will -"
She was cut off by a knock on Dan's living room door. Draco and Hermione exchanged glances as they watched Dan open their door. Revealing Jason Isaac's wide smile and open arms, "How's everyone going!" he said loudly, making Draco flinch.
"Father?"
Matt, Rupert, Evanna, Bonnie, including Hermione face palmed.
"Jason!" said the muggle actors in chorus, yet nervousness were visible in their eyes - "We weren't expecting you here." laughed Matt nervously, "Yeah, what's up?" continued Rupert. Jason Isaacs eyed the two actors, "You two seemed tense, I mean -" then his eyes roamed to Evanna, Bonnie, and Dan who were forcing a smile and his eyes landed on Hermione and Draco. "You lot seemed tense. Why?" He asked.
Dan just laughed, "Oh nothing really! Just . . . Uhm -" then Bonnie cut in, "We were talking about Tom's drunk session last night." The group laughed, making Draco narrow his eyes on the ginger actress, "Really funny." He muttered.
Jason laughed, "Yeah, you alright now there Tom?" he asked, Draco just stared at him. Hermione watched him tensed up and nudged her elbows to his stomach, "Ow!" he grunted, "Granger!" he hissed quietly at the brunette. "Don't be stupid Malfoy." She whispered, "That's not your father, for your information."
"I'm good now, Uh . . . Jason." He chuckled, nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck, a gesture Hermione discovered whenever the Slytherin would get nervous.
"O . . . kay Tom but you do know that we have an interview by 10 am right? I do hope that hangover of yours is gone, you and me got some questions to answer son." He said, Draco gulped, hard, and nodded. "Of course, let me shower first and uhm . . . "
Jason chuckled, "I think you still have a bit of a hangover left there Tom, I suggest you have your breakfast, go take a shower then I'll come by and we'll go to the conference hall together, okay?"
Draco nodded, his lips twitched a little. How Jason talked a while ago reminds him of Lucius whenever they get to attend some fancy party and order him to go get prepared for the event.
"Okay, I'll see you later. Bye Guys!" and with that, the muggle version of Lucius Malfoy left.
Hermione and the rest of the group stared at Draco, the Slytherin just shrugged at them, "What will you do?" asked Hermione, worried.
"I'll just go with the flow then." he answered casually. Dan and Rupert smirked, "Wow, very Slytherin of you." Ginny commented as she crossed her arms, "Well good luck though." the Slytherin prince nodded and went inside the guest room.
"Hermione, my manager just called he said that you and me will have a conference together with Helen and Alan." Matt said as he placed his phone in his pocket.
Hermione nodded and sipped her coffee. "It's just a matter of time that -" he was cut off when Dan suddenly said, "Emma! Jane's here." then he whispered at her, "Hermione, she's Emma's manager."
"Yeah, I've already met her." She said as she stood up and smiled at the muggle. "You ready Em? We have to fix you up for your interview today."
The Gryffindor Princess rose up from her seat and nodded, "I'll see you later guys, especially you Matt." she said to the muggle actor, Hermione whispered to Dan and said, "Tell Draco I'll meet him later, okay? I must be off now." Daniel Radcliffe just nodded and muttered, "Goodluck" as Hermione walked out of his house with Emma's manager on her side.
"So, how was the party last night Em?" asked Jane as the two of them slipped inside the car, Hermione cleared her throat and smiled, "It was pretty fun actually, being with friends and all." She said awkwardly, Jane raised a brow, "Nothing interesting happened?" she asked.
Hermione thought for a while then snorted as she remembered Draco's behavior last night, "Well, Tom got drunk, that was a sight for sore eyes." she said, letting out a small laugh. Jane giggled, "But he didn't say or do anything stupid to you did he?" teasing eyes locked at the brunette as Hermione instinctively rolled her eyes at her, "No fortunately."
"But did you guys talked?" she asked, "Well, yeah ofcourse we did." Hermione answered, Jane just stared at the brunette for a while then shrugged, "Guess you already moved on now?" she smirked. Hermione was taken a back but blinked her eyes right after, "O-ofcourse." she answered hesistantly.
Jane caught her stuttering thus making herself smirk at her, "Sure Emma, whatever you say." as her attention was transffered to the driver.
The Gryffindor just shrugged at herself, "Oh Emma's going to be so confused when this mess is all over." She thought to herself with a sigh.
Minutes later after Emma left Dan's place, Matthew Lewis, Bonnie Wright and Evanna Lynch decided to leave as well because their manager's were all looking for them demanding them to go back to their place to prepare. Rupert and Dan exchanged glances and shrugged, "Now what will we do with him?" Rupert said as he jerked his thumb at the man who just re-entered Dan's living room, "I think I'm going to shower at Tom's apartment instead, you know? Cause I believe there's no clothes for me here to wear -" his eyes lingered at the empty living room, "Where are the others? Where's Granger?" he asked at Dan and Rupert, with his brows furrowed.
"Uhm . . . " Rupert began, "Hermione left with Emma's manager, they'll be having a conference with the rest of the cast. Bonnie, Matt and Evanna left too because they're schedule today is also very busy, I on the other hand will leave also a few minutes from now to prepare. And Dan, " he faced the actor next to him, "- When is your interview?" he asked.
"My manager called, I'm free till lunch time, my Interview is this aftrnoon. Good thing though, I really need some rest." he said. Rupert and Draco nodded, "Mate, can you take me to uhm . . . Tom's place again? I don't know how to bloody contact those muggles, so Dan can you tell uhm . . . Jason that I'll be in Tom's flat?"
Rupert and Dan nodded, "No problem Malfoy, I'll just text him to let you know and make up some excuse like your phone's busted or something to avoid more questions. I'll see you later, Hermione said we'll meet up tonight, but I'm not sure where exactly." said Dan giving Draco a knowing look, "- You, be careful alright. Just talk to the interviewer casually, it'll be fine." he continued.
Draco just exhaled sharply as he rubbed his temples with his fingers, "I hope so."
"So Miss Watson, how do you like your look?" the make up artist asked as she let Hermione look at herself at the mirror. The brunette studied herself, she was wearing a silver plain halter dress, not too long and not too short making her comfortable, her hair was just let loose but with a few soft curls at the end, and her make up was simple, she liked it. Sporting the look also was an emerald green bracelet on her wrist and a pair of earings the matched with it.
She looked good in green, "but why Slytherin colors?" She thought to herself but shrugged it off because all in all, it fitted her perfectly.
"Thanks I love it." she smiled at the make up artist and left the room just as Jane walked in, "Stunning! Let's go now Em, or we'll be late." and with that, the pair left.
When the pair reached their destination, after few greeting and autograph signing outside, Jane led Hermione to the conference room, where she spotted Matthew Lewis and the muggle version of Narcissa Malfoy and Severus Snape. Seeing her Professor at Hogwarts made her uneasy, and seeing her mother's bestfriend made her very uncomfortable.
Narcissa Malfoy was a dear to Hermione back in their world, she adored her very much. They also promised each other to meet up in Halloween break for a tea and a chat, they were really close. She also mentioned that she planned to have a Ball in their Manor. The thought of it made the brunette sad, sad for the fact that she knows it'll be a long time that she'll get to see the Malfoy woman again. Snape on the other, she did not miss at all. The Gryffindor was not very fond of their Professor but she cannot deny that he is an excellent teacher. She got high marks in Potions, next to Draco of course, Draco was the Potion Genius compared to her, maybe because it was Malfoy's favorite subject, whilst the brunette wasn't really fond of the class though.
"Emma dear!" Helen McCrorry greeted her with a hug, "Helen, good to see you! How are you?" she said, Emma was surprise at herself for saying that but she was proud for not slipping up, atleast she managed to sound like Emma Watson, and she knows it not time for akwardness anymore, or else they will get suspicious.
"I'm fine, I haven't talked to you much at the party last night." She said, the brunette just smiled at her and turned towards Alan Rickman, "Alan." she greeted with a smile, "Emma." he replied with a grin on his face.
It was a weird sight for her though, she would never imagine in her whole life that Professor Snape would grin at her like that, or even smile.
Then she turned to her muggle friend, Matthew Lewis, "Hey!" he said, "Hey Matt." and the two shared a hug as the actor whispered, "So how are you catching up with our company here?" he teased, as Emma rolled her eyes playfully, "Oh if only I had a camera! Snape smiling at me was priceless! Draco and the others will freak, I tell you!" she whispered. The two burst out laughing with that, as they followed Helen and Alan inside.
"Robert?" said Draco as he opened the door at Tom's house. He just came out from the shower, the housekeeper wasn't here also, apparently Tom had instructed her a few days ago they she may take a leave for a week, according to Rupert - making Draco relieved.
Tom Felton's manager stepped inside and nodded at the wizard, "I called Jason and told him that I will be the one to fetch you for the interview, he's on his way now at the venue. And you need to change asap." He said, handling him his clothes to be worn for the interview.
Draco rolled his eyes. His bossiness reminds him strongly of Hermione Granger, "Yeah yeah." he said as took the clothes and he closed the door. Robert took his phone and was busy talking to somebody on the phone when the Slytherin re-entered Tom's bedroom and changed.
He fixed his hair and went outside, Robert caught sight at him and ushered him outside immediately, "Let's go Tom, we're almost late. Next time, use your phone alright? I've been calling you nonstop earlier. Don't tell me you forgot about this interview, you're so much better than this Felton." he said as he opened the car door for them.
Draco just sat silent and rolled his eyes once again, he really hates being bossed around, well except from his bestfriend though, he was imune to Hermione already even though it annoys him sometimes. "Bloody Hell, is this what being a muggle actor like? Being bossed around?" he scoffed at his thought. "I'd pick being a wizard everytime." and with that, he agreed with himself.
