A Day With Friends

It was a bright day.

Birds chirping peacefully were heard from the window, the early morning breeze and the sun hitting the brunette's face was warming, welcoming.

Emma opened her eyes and sighed happily, she was debating herself to stay in bed or stand up to start getting ready.

She was in a good mood, one can tell — as she hummed, stood up and walked towards the bathroom for a bath.

After a quick shower, she brushed her teeth and tamed Hermione's bushy hair, thankfully, she was using one of her conditioners again which made it easier for her to tame.

After she dried her hair, Emma braided it.

Now, she opted to find something to wear from Hermione's trunks.

Realization hit her like a ten wheeler truck as she remembered that she'll be meeting with Ginny today at Diagon Alley and go shopping after lunch with the one and only Narcissa Malfoy - and then it hit her.

TONIGHT is the Malfoys' Halloween Ball!

Tonight will be the night were she'll be going to meet the rest of the magical people from the book, from a story, from a movie!

Their movie.

The muggle actress furrowed her brows as she searched and attire suitable for her to wear today.

Finally, she found a pair of black leggings and emerald green long sleeved fitted blouse, she also sported it with Hermione's black knee lengthen boots, once again.

She stood in front of the mirror and examined her look, feeling satisfied, she went out of the room and descended downstairs to meet the Potters.

"Good Morning." greeted the brunette.

She took a seat next to Harry, who was smiling at her, "Morning." He said.

James Potter was reading the Daily Prophet as he sipped his coffee, "Morning Hermione." He said, glancing up at the brunette and raised a brow.

"Meeting someone?" He smirked as Emma giggled and shook her head.

"I'm meeting Ginny this morning." She said as the older Potter nodded.

Harry grinned at her, "I might join you two at Lunch. This morning, me and Ron will be meeting Blaise, Alex and the rest — including Tom," he reminded, whispering as he said the latter.

"And what'll you boys be up to?" she asked suspiciously.

Harry chuckled, "Just Quidditch."

Emma just nodded and took a bite from her pancakes, "Say, where's Lily?" she asked, as she noticed the Potter woman was no where to be seen in the table.

James was about to reply when as if on cue Lily cut in entering the dining room, holding two cups of hot cocoa in each of her hands.

"Here," she piped in, as Emma smiled at her.

"Good Morning Hermione, fancy some hot cocoa?" she asked as the brunette nodded.

"Thank you Lily." she replied as she took one of her hot cocoa.

Lily smiled and placed the other cup in front of her son's plate as Harry immediately took it, "Thanks Mum." he muttered, taking a sip.

Lily took a sit beside James, as she began to eat her breakfast, "So, what are your plans for today?" she asked.

Emma was about to reply when James Potter cut her off, "Hermione's going out with Ginny and Harry will be playing Quidditch with the boys." He said as Lily eyed his husband.

"I wasn't asking you." She pointed out, a smirk playing on her lips as James Potter gazed at his wife's direction, raising a brow at her.

Emma exchanged glances with Harry, as she giggled silently.

Harry on the other hand just rolled his eyes in amusement, "They act like teenagers sometimes." He mumbled making Emma laugh.

"It's cute."

Harry escorted Emma at Diagon Alley as soon as they finished their breakfast.

As the brunette stepped out of the random shop she and Harry had flooed from, she was caught off guard as a pair of arms where around her, catching sight of red hair.

"Ginny!" she exclaimed, smiling, as the youngest Weasley pulled her out from the hug and grinned.

"Hi Emma, welcome to Diagon Alley." She said, making the muggle actress giggle.

"Hey babe" Harry greeted Ginny as he kissed her quickly.

"Hey." said the redhead, smiling at him lovingly.

"I'm meeting the guys, I'll be off to the Burrow then Black Manor for a game of Quidditch. I'll see you two at lunch." he said as his girlfriend nodded.

"Alright, I'll see you soon."

Harry kissed her once again quickly and nodded at Emma as he smiled, "You two enjoy." He said, as he left.

Ginny gazed towards the brunette who was now at awe. Her brown eyes were roaming around the busy Alley.

"I can't believe that I'm actually at Diagon Alley." She breathed out as the ginger girl linked her arms with hers.

"Let's go Em, I'll have to show you to Fred and George's joke shop."

Emma beamed with that, and the two of them left.

Tom hurriedly walk outside the kitchen as soon as he finished his breakfast.

Hearing a laugh from the kitchen, he can't help but grin. He just can't get used to this, Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy in this parallel version was the best.

"Good Morning Mother, Father." Tom greeted as he went inside the dining room.

Narcissa Malfoy, looking gorgeous as ever was having tea and to her right was Lucius Malfoy, reading a Daily Prophet by his hand as the other one was holding a cup of coffee.

Narcissa gazed at him and smiled genuinely, "Good Morning dear, what's your plans for this day?" she asked.

Tom just shrugged, "I don't know, maybe I'll be going to meet up with Blaise or Alex." He replied.

Lucuis Malfoy looked up to his 'son' and placed the prophet down at his table, "Alex informed me earlier with an owl that you'll be playing Quidditch with them." He began making Tom nod.

"Well, Quidditch then." He said, taking a toast from his plate.

"Just be careful alright? I don't want you to be sporting a black eye tonight at the ball." Narcissa warned, wagging her pale fingers towards him as Tom just smirked at her.

"Relax Mother, it's as if like you're doubting me." He joked.

Lucius Malfoy chuckled, "Don't worry Cissy, he'll be fine." he assured his wife as the Malfoy lady eyed him wearily.

"I don't know." She began, narrowing her eyes at her husband with amusement, "That stubbornness from Draco was inherited by you."

Tom snorted with that as Lucius curled up his lips, smirking, and was about to retort when he faced his 'son'.

"Phoebe also informed me last night that you'll be singing tonight at the ball, as part of the program." he pointed out making Narcissa look at Tom's way immediately.

"Are you serious Draco? I haven't heard you sing before." She muttered making Tom chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.

"Yeah, they suggested it and I think it's a good idea."

"Well," Narcissa smiled, "Then I'll be looking forward to hear my son sing." She said, pinching Tom's cheek fondly as Lucius Malfoy chuckled.

"Let's just not hope that my voice won't make a banshee cry tonight." Tom commented carelessly, making Narcissa raise a brow at him and Lucius — well, he erupted with a laugh.

"Felton!" he heard someone say, making him spun around.

Phoebe was walking towards him, "Hey Lestrange, morning." He greeted.

Phoebe nodded. "Morning Felton, and where are you off to may I ask?" she asked suspiciously.

"I'm heading outside, Dobby said that Alex is waiting for me there." he began.

"Quidditch." He pointed out as the girl nodded.

"Ah that explains it." she replied.

"You had breakfast already?" she asked.

"Yeah, Narcissa and Lucius are still in there discussing thing for tonight. You'll be meeting Emma later right?"

Phoebe nodded with that, "Yeah and mother will be joining us with Aunt Cissy also."

"Well alright, say Hi to Emma for me." He said as he walked towards the door.

"Okay. You blokes be careful." she reminded as Tom saluted making the raven haired witch chuckle.

Two hours later, after a tiring and productive game of Quidditch - Tom, Harry, Ron, Blaise, Alex and Helios walked back towards Black Manor.

Helios excused himself as he joined his twin sister for a while with their other cousins who were having tea by the gazebo.

Hearing the girls' complains and screams about Helios eating their snacks, Tom laughed.

"That was some game!" He said as the five of them walked inside, depositing the broomsticks at the closet.

Alex clasped Tom's back and chuckle, "Yeah it was. And I must say I was impressed that none of us slipped your real name earlier considering that Helios was joining us." he said making the others snicker in response.

"Yeah, I don't think I can handle more people knowing my true identity just yet." He said.

"You know Felton, you are some seeker." Ron began making Tom raise a brow at him. "I'm bloody impressed. You really are like Malfoy, you play like him too." he continued.

Blaise exclaimed, "Hear hear!"

Harry and Alex chuckled with that as Tom laughed, "I can't imagine me and Draco being together in one room. I mean, it'll be brilliant you know — like having a twin." he imagined making the others laugh.

"No bloody hell no." exclaimed Ron, as he laughed, "It's bad enough to have one Malfoy. How much more if two Dracos. "

The lot laughed at that. "It'll be a royal pain in the arse." Blaise piped in.

"Well, I for one, will be looking forward for it." Tom pointed out, chuckling.

The group made their way towards the living room. "I think I need a shower." Blaise said.

"Me too." said Ron as Harry and Tom also nodded in agreement.

"I am meeting Ginny and Emma later and I don't want to be scolded by my girlfriend from not taking a shower after the game." He grimaced.

Alex chuckled, "Same by me." he said.

"There are three bathrooms for guests in the west wing, Blaise, Ron and Harry can take it. Tom, there's an extra guest room in the east wing, you can use that shower." he added.

The boys nodded as they left. Tom on the other hand looked at Alex as the Black heir nodded knowingly as if he knew what he was about to say, "I'll take you to the room, I'm quite sure you don't know the direction."

Tom laughed at that as the two walked upstairs. "Alex, if this is your parents' Manor, does that mean that Sirius was the one who took over Grimmauld's place?" He asked.

Alex nodded. "That you are correct. Uncle Sirius was a few years older than Father, so he inherited the house. And besides, Father want to have his own house instead also." He pointed out making Tom nod.

"Well, here's the guest room. There are spare clothes from Draco there which he had left last summer when he stayed here. There's also spare towels by the closet."

Tom nodded and smiled thankfully, "Thanks Alex."

Malfoy's cousin just smiled at him in return and clasped his shoulders, "Of course."

Lunch was delightful for Emma. After they visited Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes, Ginny let her explore some other shops.

As soon as they were famished, Ginny led her towards the new restaurant of Diagon Alley, namely The Black Cat - where Harry and Ron joined them moments later.

"Thank you for the lunch, it was amazing. The food here is brilliant." Emma said as she sipped her glass of butterbeer, sighing happily at the taste.

Ron, Harry and Ginny chuckled, "It was fun showing you around Em." Ginny winked.

"So how was the game?" Ginny asked his boyfriend when Harry just smiled.

"It was great — although it was impressive when Felton caught the snitch first before me." he pointed making Emma's brow shot up.

"Are you serious?" she asked, incredulously.

Ron and Harry grinned at her and nodded, "Yeah Em, it was bloody impressive." Emma just nodded.

"So, when are you meeting Narcissa Malfoy and the Lestranges?" Ginny asked at her.

"Vivianne's dress shop." She replied, "— but needless to say I don't know where that is." she pointed making Ginny giggle.

Harry and Ron shared an amused smile as Harry stated, "We'll escort you there Em." making Emma smiled at him thankfully.

"You won't shop for dresses Gin?" she asked as the redhead smiled at her.

"I already had. Pansy helped me yesterday afternoon."

Harry grinned at her with that as he raised a brow at his girlfriend, "I can't wait to see you tonight in that dress." Ginny blushed and rolled her eyes playfully.

"You can't wait to see me on that dress or you can't wait to rip that dress off of me."

Harry smirked and leaned towards dangerously close to her, "Maybe both."

Ron covered both his eyes with a frustrating groan. Emma couldn't help but laugh at him.

"Must you always flirt like that. In front of me?" He exclaimed.

"Seriously mate, she's my sister."

Ginny just rolled her eyes, "Don't act so innocent Ronald, I'm his girlfriend." She pointed out, making Emma laugh at their exchange.

"Anyways Em," Ginny began, ignoring Ron as she gazed towards the brunette smiling at her, "What're your thoughts of Tom?"

Emma was taken a back with the redhead's question. "Wow Gin, that's so random for you to ask." She giggled awkwardly.

"Tom? He's you know — h-he's like a b-brother to me."

"Not the way I see it." Harry piped in, as Ron nodded in agreement.

"You both have something."

Emma just looked at them as if they were crazy, "Something? What do you mean something?" she asked, incredulously.

Ginny just smirked. "It's for us to observe and you to admit."

"I am not in denial if that's what you're implying." Emma said as she raised a brow at her, taking another sip of his butterbeer.

The three Gryffindors just eyes her, "Uh huh," Ginny pushed on.

"We'll see." she continued, smirking.

Emma Waston just let out a groan.
