As I sat at the Ashmolean bar in the Cafe at the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology, I sipped at my chamomile tea as soft music played overhead. Glancing down at my watch, I found it very hard to not checked it every few seconds. She said she would meet me here; by she, I mean the one and only Emma Watson. Time was cutting close, and I started to worry she might not show.

It had been a few weeks since I had last seen Alan for brunch. I was finally able to get some time for her to meet me, between her busy schedule and mine, it was a miracle. Despite her sharing how busy she has been, she made the time to meet with me today, which I am so grateful for. Rubbing my arms, I thought of her sudden reaction when I phoned her and asked to meet, she was absolutely ecstatic to hear from me!

Looking around me at the half full cafe, I pulled out my notepad I carried with me and began jotting down whatever ideas came to mind about the production. So many ideas have come and gone, things I liked and didn't- just so many possibilities thanks to the brilliant mind of fanfiction writers. As I was lost in my writing, so deep in thought, I didn't feel a hand touch my shoulder, causing me to flinch and almost knock my tea over. Quickly closing my notebook, I met the warm, welcoming and sweet eyes of Emma Watson. Relief flooded me as I smiled and embraced me in a tight hug.

"Jo! It's been far too long!" She said pulling away looking at my now frazzled appearance. I brushed a piece of hair behind my ears and laughed.

"And my have you definitely grown, Emma. I remember when you were 'ye high!" I said, showing her how tall she was when I first started working with her. She clutched her side and laughed. "Do sit down, please." I said, showing her to where I was seated. She simply took her seat and turned her gaze at me, which felt like it lasted ages. I instantly blushed and looked down, grabbing my teacup in my hand. She snapped out of her, I suppose, reverie and blushed.

"Sorry! I didn't mean to stare it's just been... so long! I just couldn't help but have a flashback to the old days." She said with a vague smile. I nodded my head; I understood the sentiment, it really was a bit overwhelming after so many years.

"So, how have you been doing? I have been absolutely terrible with keeping up with anyone lately, so I do apologize if I may seem... out of the loop." I said, giving her a sympathetic look. She waved me off.

"Don't worry, Jo. I understand that all too well." A waitress walked over and asked Emma if she would like to see a menu and she shook her head, "Oh no thank you, if I could just get a cappuccino, please?" The waitress nodded her head and walked away, letting us return to our conversation. With a smile, she continued; "Let's see. I finished college at Brown University in America with a bachelor's degree in English literature. Movie production has been small, slow, and little to none, and I just recently started a foundation called He For She, it's an organization for feminism." She said with a smile as I looked at her in amazement. I couldn't help the small gasp that escaped my lips, I was so proud of her.
