By my Side ~ Tom Felton fanfic

Chapter 37: Running

'We've got this.' Em said to me.

'Yeah!' We gave each other a high-five. 'We'll smash them.'

'On it.'

Right now, Em, Dan, Rupert and I were about to sprint across a hilly forest with several other actors and extras for the scene where Sally, Harry, Hermione and Ron were running away from Snatchers.

It's been around a week since Tom's birthday and we were currently somewhere in the middle of Scotland to film several scenes including the Snatchers (obviously) and the Malfoy Manor scene. A all of the casts and crew for these scenes were staying at the "Malfoy Manor" which, probably you can guess, is massive. Em and I shared a room like the old days, Dan and Rupert shared one and Tom was with Matt (Lewis). Matt G couldn't come because he had university.

'Are you all ready?' Our head producer, David Heyman, called out to us.

'Yeah!'

'Cool! Remember, this's just a test.'

'Well, it's competition for us.' Em said, mostly to me but Dan and Rupert heard her too.

'You aren't gonna win.' Dan laughed as Rupert laughed weakly.

'Oh yeah I will -'

'And GO!'

Rupert and Dan shot out but Em and I easily caught up, and over took them. By the time we got half way, I wasn't sprinting anymore because they were so far behind. Em wasn't too far behind though.

'Stop! Stop!'

I slowed down, eventually coming to a stop.

'Come up!'

'Uugghhh.' Em and I whined. It was a long way up.

We all walked up eventually though. On the way up, I was looking at the cameras zooming back up the hill. There were several of them that were on zip lines and it looked so cool.

On the other side of the zip-line-cameras were camera crews with their cameras on a mini railway thing, which helped them film us running without the camera jumping up and down and ruining it completely.

'Emma, Sakura, you two can slow down a bit more. Or maybe you should start a bit more later so that the boys can have a head start.'

'Hey we don't need head starts!' Dan protested. 'We were just jogging.'

'As if.' Em scoffed and I didn't miss Rupert looking confused, causing me to chuckle softly.

'Well either ways, try and stick together, okay?'

'Sure thing David.' Em smirked.

'Okay,' then he called out to the actors behind us, 'are you ready?'

'All ready!'

'Cameras?'

'All good!'

'Aaand...' Dan stepped out before any of us. 'GO!!!'

We all sprinted across the forest, desperate to run away from the Snatchers and them trying to chase us. We jumped over large fallen trees, weaved through the woods and ducked branches. Em and I also had to "throw spells" behind us and at a perfect timing, the ground explodes. Again, I was in front of all of them but I couldn't see the others.

Once I reached where we were supposed to run to, I slowed down but didn't stop immediately.

'Ain't good enough Daniel.' I bumped into him on purpose while we climbed onto a buggy which they decided to bring eus up with.
