"Action!"

Slow jazz music played in the background, people chattering and dancing to the music, drinks in their hands. Few students clicking photographs. "Ah, Olivia" Slughorn greeted me.

"Sir" I said politely. "Who's your date?" he asked looking at the tall boy beside me. "My lovely friend, Theod-" I said and he nudged me lightly. "Theo Nott" I completed.

"It's nice to see you both" the professor said and was about to leave when he turned back and said, "I had a piano arranged just for you tonight. I would love to hear you sing. I think we all would"

"It'd be my pleasure, Sir" I said and he happily went away.

"Cut! Let's take the scene where Filch bursts in with Draco" David said and I went back to Emma. We talked while Tom, David (Filch) and David talked about the scene. "So, did he ask?" Emma asked making me tear my eyes from Tom. "The first thing when I reached my trailer" I said sighing loudly. "And?"

"And I told him, even if it hurt him, I told him, it's not like I'm not trying but this time rather than letting the hurt taking over me, I calmly made him understand. Don't worry, we're good" I said as David told us to take our positions.

We were talking when suddenly I felt an arm around my waist. "Nott, can I steal your date from you?" Rafael asked and Theo nodded. He pulled me to the dance floor, where an annoyed Hermione was dancing with McLaggen, but when she saw me on the floor as well, she smiled and mouthed 'thank you'

I am only doing this for Hermione. I placed one hand on Rafael's shoulder, while the other was in his hand. His other hand was on my bare back, rubbing soothing circles on it. "You look beautiful" he said looking down at me. "Thank you, you look handsome as well" I complimented him back.

We were dancing in close proximity, when the door burst open. "Take your hands off of me, you filthy squib" a voice said grunting. I knew exactly who it was. "Sir, I just discovered this boy lurking in an upstairs corridor" Filch said holding Draco by his collar.

He looked sad. He was looking around for someone. For me. And upstairs corridor? That's the Room of Requirement. What is Draco doing there always? "He claims to be have invited to the party" Filch said and before his eyes could meet mine, he looked at Slughorn.

"Okay, okay, I was gatecrashing. Happy?" he said annoyingly. Why did he need to crash the party? If he wanted to come, then I asked him he should've said yes. He looked at me and seemed to calm down. But as he was calming down, he saw Rafael's hand on my exposed back, his eyes darted up to mine and then to Rafael's.

Oh boy.

"I'll escort him out" Snape said coming to his rescue. Draco freed himself while looking at the professor. "Certainly" he said and took a pause, "Professor" he spat like he was taunting him. He looked at me for one last time and left with Snape.

"All right, carry on, everyone. Enjoy" Slughorn said to lighten up the tensed mood that was just in the room. I saw Harry follow them, if he hears something, I- "Raf, you'll have to excuse me" I said and left behind Harry.

"Cut! Y/N, Tom, Alan and Dan, come on, prep for the next scene" David said and we took our positions. I went to the hallway with Dan and smiled at him. "I haven't seen you smile in like ages" he said making me chuckle a little.

"What can I say? For sometime, I didn't have a reason to smile" I said to which he gasped sarcastically. "Whatever do we mean to you, huh?" he asked making me hit his hand and we waited for our scene to start. "Okay, Y/N, when Alan walks off, you will reveal yourself from behind the wall, so enter through here and Tom, just for a second, you will look scared of Y/N, okay?"
