YoOHoO - Tom Felton Fanfiction

Chapter 1:

He was gone...just like that. Of course no-one apart from Willow, Charlie and I knew..since none of the others liked it. It was hard the first few weeks but we all soon got used to it. Especially because he wasn't here on his birthday. Of course the group knew he was filming something but they didn't know what. Obviously they would find out soon enough...just not yet.

I spoke to Tom every few days...but the rest of the time he was busy filming. I hated it. I hated having to keep it from my friends...this was a great achievement for Tom...and he kept it a secret because of our friends...and now I do too.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So you're telling me that THE JK Rowling shook your hand!" I nearly screamed down the phone.

"Yes Lizzy... she did..and I don't get why you're so excited...you've met her before!" Tom laughed.

"So...she's met thousands of other crazed fans...I highly doubt she'd remember me!" I wasn't wrong.

"Well...she definitely does now!" I could practically see him smirking.

"YOU WHAT!" This time I screamed.

"Ow...my ears!! And it was when we were talking..she asked me about life at home..and my friends...and I mentioned you had been at every book signing since the second book...so I showed her the picture I carry around with me and she said she remembers you!"

"Thomas...when I see you at Christmas you are dead!" I was crying...not from being sad just from shock.

"Aww, don't cry Lizzy...you baby!" Tom teased.

"Oh shut it!" I mumbled.

We spoke for a little while longer..until he had to leave to film his next scene. He always gave me little clues into what the scenes were..and left it for me to figure out. Of course I got them all right. He had also told me that when he comes home for Christmas he was going to steal my books and read them...I'd like to see him try.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Christmas came around really quickly...Tom came back to school just for the last week before the Christmas Holidays. And it was weird having him back...he had grown since I last saw him...he towered over me more now...and his hair...I kept laughing at his hair because it was so bloody bright. I also introduced him to my friend...the one that Mallory always bullied for liking Harry Potter. She was quite cool actually...I had never spoken to her until this year...because the others had moved school.. Her name was Evanna..she moved here from Ireland, the year after I started. I briefly met her in the summer holidays as she too was at the release of Goblet of Fire. Her and Tom got on well..which I was grateful for because it meant there was one more person who cared about Harry Potter...one more person he could relate to...sort of.

"Oi..Losers!!" Mallory's squeaky voice shouted from the other side of the playground. We walked over to her knowing she had seen us with Evanna.

"Mallory!" Tom spoke bluntly... you could tell he didn't really like her all that much..but he was civil.

"Why were you two with that freak?" She sneered at us.

"Calm down Mal...she's in my class remember...I need to ask her something..and Tom offered to come with me!" I saved us both from the impending fight she's gunna start.

"As long as that's all it is...you really don't want to be hanging around those sorts of people!" She turned her back and walked back to the group. As Tom sniggers to himself.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"Nothing...you'll find out!" Tom replied, still chuckling away.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Christmas Eve.

For as long as I can remember we had been alternating between the two houses. And then we'd go and visit family for a few days after. This year it was my house...before mum and I could even begin we had to wake Charlie up and convince him to help which was hard. Then we had to make up the spare room for Tom's mum and dad...and 2 air beds in the living room for whoever wanted them as one would sleep on the sofa...then we had to start moving the presents into the living room and underneath the tree..and lastly making sure the house looked spotless. Thankfully with my brother's help it didn't take much time.

I had to make sure my room was clean because Tom and I would always stay in there whilst the adults were talking downstairs...it gets a bit boring. By the time this was done...they were almost here and I still needed to shower.

"Mum..I need a shower if they turn up ,cover for me..thank you bye!" I grabbed my stuff and ran into the bathroom...and slipped on the floor. As I had expected they turned up the second I stepped into the shower. I was grateful that I brought everything with me because the bathroom is opposite the stairs and the stairs are in the living room..and the chairs are on the wall facing the stairs which meant if I hadn't everyone would see me running out the door and to my room.

I walked out the bathroom towel drying my hair...it was short so I wasn't awful to take care of to be honest and went downstairs to greet everyone.

"Elizabeth Jewett...the last one as always!" I heard my brother grumble. I quickly hugged Tom's mum and his brothers.

"Where's-!" I started before Tom interrupted me and dragged me upstairs. "Well...hello I guess!" I shut my door and Tom launched himself on my bed.

"I need to talk to you!" He sounded upset.

"Ok?" Should I be worried?

"My...My parents are getting a divorce...that's why he isn't here!" Tom sounded worse than upset; he sounded hurt.

"Tom...I'm sorry!" I walked over and sat next to him.

"I guess it's another thing we can relate to!" He half heartedly laughed. It's true...my parents got a divorce when I was six...shortly after my dad fled the country with his new girlfriend and two months after my mother got a call from this girlfriend saying my dad was killed in an attack where he worked... I don't really remember him..I have a few memories but I've been fine raised how I was...I was raised by my mum and Tom's parents.

"When did you find out?" I asked.

"Last night...I wanted to tell you last night...I was going to phone you but I thought what's the point I'm seeing you today!" He didn't dare look up from his hands that were sitting in his lap. I knew he was crying, he just didn't want me to see. I wrapped my small arms around him and hugged him...we sat there for a minute. I could hear his silent sobs but I didn't say anything.

After a few minutes he finally spoke. "I'm sorry...I shouldn't be crying...It's Christmas...eve...but I wanted to give you one present now!" He pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to me.

"Is this...an invitation to the premiere?" I stared at the paper in my hands.

"Only for friends and family...at the moment..since we haven't stopped filming yet but we are due to finish from about Feb - May!....But please tell me you'll come to the premiere. I really want you there!" Tom pleaded.

"Of course I'll come, you bloody idiot!" I smiled at him.

"Good because if you weren't there I think i'd cry!" He laughed a little.

"Can I give you your birthday present?" I asked without even waiting for him to respond. I handed him the box that had been sitting in the corner of my room since September.

He opened and instantly started laughing...he picked it up and read the synopsis on the back laughing as he read it making comments about Harry Potter...and mentioning his 'Mudblood' Best friend and Weasel...which made us both laugh...he also made some comments about how loves playing Draco because he's so different in real life and because it reminds him of me.

I missed being like this...this was the norm most days..us just sitting here making stupid jokes that only we would understand...I missed Tom most of all...he was my best friend. It was hard not being able to see him. I know that he will have a break once they stop filming and he'll go back to school and everything will be normal again. And then the cast announcement will be out soon and Tom will most likely be Mallory and Max's new victim...he can handle it though...I just dread what they are going to be like...especially Mallory. But let's not worry about that for now...let's just worry about the present moment.
