All Just An Act | Tom Felton X Reader

11 | I Think I Just Broke My Hand

"Malfoy swaggered forward when his name was called and got his wish at once, the hat had barely touched his head when it screamed slytherin!" Tom read out. He finally decided to read the Harry Potter books after two years of filming the film.

"I'm getting food." Rupert muttered before Tom could start reading again.

"I'm coming with you." Dan said and dragged Emma with him, making her give him a questioning look.

They scurried out of the room and closed the door shut. I lifted up the covers of the bed higher and sat there with Tom beside me. For a moment it was silent and the only thing I could hear was the sound of the rain pouring outside in the cold night.

I got up from the bed and set my feet down on the cold floor."I'm getting food t-"

"Nu uh." Tom pulled my hand back, making me fall back to the bed. "I need someone to keep me company."

"Really?" I eyed him and positioned myself to sit next to him on the bed. He smiled and moved his attention back to the book again.

He eyed the book before turning to me with a pleading look and my eyebrows furrowed, giving him a questioning look. "What?"

He nudged the book to my arm, smiling cheekily. I rolled my eyes and took the book from him, finding the sentence he stopped reading at.

"Malfoy went to join his friends Crabbe and Goyle, looking pleased with himself. There weren't many people left now. "Moon" "Nott" "Parkinson" then a pair of twin girls, "Patil" and "Patil" then "Perks, Sally-Anne" and then, at last, "Potter, Harry!"" I read outloud before I felt Tom shift closer towards me.

"As Harry stepped forward, whispers suddenly broke out like-"

"Honestly I don't get how Harry's so famous." Tom cut me off.

"Cause of his parents. Now be quiet and just let me continue." I playfully scowled and continued reading.

I felt Tom move closer towards me and rest his chin on my shoulder, looking down to see the book.

"The last thing Harry saw before the hat dropped over his eyes was the hall full of people craning to get a good look at him." I felt Tom's eyes on me for the past minute, making me stop reading and turn towards him.

"What?"

"Nothing. Just continue."

"Next second he was looking at the black inside of the hat. He waited." Tom shuffled closer to me as I continued to read. I felt his hand brush against mine under the covers, making heat rush to my cheeks. Luckily, my hair was covering my face and the door burst open before he could see my flustered face, making Tom jump back and away from me.

"Am I interrupting something?" Dan had a mischievous smirk plastered onto his face.

"No!" Tom and I simultaniously said, all too fast.

"Then you two won't mind if I just sit right here?" Dan climbed the bed and pushed Tom and I apart from each other so he could sit in between us.

Tom glared at Dan while I just sat there, awkwardly looking down at the bed cover. I looked at the two boys next to me to see them silently communicating with each other as if they could read each other's minds.

"Alright! alright, I'll go." Dan raised his hands up in defense and moved to sit on the other side of me.

Tom slid towards me and took the book from my hands, reading it. It wasn't long before Emma and Rupert joined us on the bed and sat there, doing their own thing and enjoying the sound of the rain in the midst of silence.
