"Now, let me please welcome, Y/N Y/L/N, from Harry Potter" Jimmy Fallon announced and I walked up to the stage from the back, waving at the audience, blowing kisses as I went to hug Jimmy. "Welcome, Y/N" he said sweetly and the crowd settled down. For this interview, only I was invited, whereas for Ellen, Tom and I were. I wore a baby pink bralette with a pair of white pants with matching heels.
I sat from across him and straight dove into the coffee that was placed beside me. It was late night, plus I was tired due to the interviews and my college work. He chuckled as he filled the cup again for me.
"Right now, you seem more as a college student than a movie actress" he remarked making the crowd laugh.
"So, I saw you at the premiere, need I remind, you looked incredible" he said and few pictures flashed on the screen. I was in a beautiful red dress that flowed down till my heels, with a slit on the right and spaghetti straps with a low neck.
"Thank you, Jimmy" I said softly.
"Now, now, I saw the movie and everyone sitting here did as well and I loved it but I have to ask" he said and pulled out a picture of me driving around the vehicle like a golf cart that used to drop us at different sets with a scared Tom next to me. "What is happening here?" he said laughing at my weird expression.
"Well" I stretched the word and bent down in embarrassment, "We're all, erm, we're all assigned drivers so that they can help us move around the set, because, some of them are really far apart. So, erm, I thought it would be great, if I drove one and give my girl, Julia who had been driving me around the whole day, some rest-"
"But, you don't drive yet, do you?"
"No, that's the point, I had no idea how to ride a car let alone a golf cart, so, I did, umm, I started the cart and actually it's nothing— erm, it's just like a car, there's a gas peddle and brakes and you have your steering wheel. Tom and Julia were against it, they were hell bent to not let me drive, yet I convinced them. So, Tom sat next to me, the first thing he did was put on a seat belt, which was totally unnecessary since we were inside the set" I said making the audience laugh.
"And, I had asked Tom to give me instructions but the both of us failed miserably, and I crashed at the entrance of some other set. So, what you're seeing is a picture taken seconds before the disaster happened"
"Haha... but I am a really big fan of the Harry Potter movies, which is going a little different than the books, but I like it so far"
Yeah, cause it's based on a fanfiction. Of course, it's different than the books.
"Thank you, I was very happy to hear that you were a Potterhead" I said smiling back at him.
"I missed you since I saw you last at the premiere, I wish you were here every week" he said with a lot of hand gestures.
"I know, we had a blast at the premiere. Even I wish I could be here, all the time, either for interviews or you know, just sitting in the audience"
"Thank you for coming. Where have you - Firstly, you've been all over the world, so where did you fly from?"
"Erm, I wasn't going to be all over the world, since I started college, but erm, I flew in from LA, finishing another interview"
"And where do you have to be after this?"
"Erm, I'll be going back to LA, to my parents, cause you know I loves my dad" I said the last part in a weird accent making everyone laugh a little, "I have to be at Ellen's and then I will fly to San Diego with the cast for Comic Con"
"Man, I just love your accent" he said regarding the British accent that I had, "So, in all you're not actually a platinum blonde haired girl with purple eyes"
"Yeah, no, I'm not, I have H/C hair with E/C eyes"
"So, when -when you auditioned for the role, you were like, I won't get it"
"Yeah, I was very nervous, but erm, Tom had total faith in me, he said that I won't need a second round of audition and he was right, I didn't, they didn't even wait to call. Right after I auditioned, they signed me"
"So, do you know what's going to happen to Olivia now that Voldemort's back?"
"Well, I don't know-"
"Are you saying that because you signed a contract?" Jimmy joked making all of us laugh.
"No, no, I'm not, because, erm, we haven't had the script reading yet, it's scheduled in a month in February. So, I don't know what it means for Olivia"
"Well, it will feel strange to see you without the blonde hair"
"I haven't actually seen my real hair color in a long time. A looonngggg time" I said stretching the word out. "So, I have to keep the blonde hair for the movies, so I decided to keep dying it. I like your hair color"
"I mean, this is the finest toupees on Amazon, of course you like it" he joked. "But thank you for saying that. I appreciate it"
"Yeah, erm, so, where did you start your college?"
"University of Hertfordshire" I said a few members of the audience oohed.
"Why there?" Jimmy asked as he picked up his cup.
"Well, it's closer to work and I took a place there, since you all know, I can't drive, clearly, and I always can't have people driving me, so yeah"
"And your course?"
"BA with International Business. My father and my brother are into the family business, here in America, so I decided to take it up, thinking to help expand the business when I am eligible"
"So how does the course work?"
"So, yeah, erm, it is a four year course, for the first year, I have to study in UH, then in the second year, I have an option, to either study there or abroad. Third year, it's definitely abroad but work placement and fourth is back to UH"
"Wow, so, we have a clip here" he giggled and pointed at the screen, "Wh-what happened to you?" he asked as the video came in picture, I was wearing that awful green ballgown, talking to Tom about something. I put my hands on my face and laughed in embarrassment.
"Oh God! I told Mike not to keep this. Well, you know the ballgown that Olivia wore at the Yule Ball, was made of magic, yeah, it would change whenever a boy would dance with her or touch her waist, so Mike, our director and our costume designer decided that I would wear a green screen colored green dress that would be easy for them to edit later. So, this was rehearsal"
"For- for the Yule Ball, I heard that you all had to take classes"
"Yeah, it was very difficult, especially my number with Tom, we're both terrible dancers, so for first days we had to learn basic steps and all we did was step on each other's shoes. But eventually we did get it right. The main hardship was when I had to do it with a ballgown and heels, but Tom and I had enough practice, it took a lot of takes but sure, we did it"
"Well, how- how do you maintain confidentiality about plot twists and other developments in movies before they air?"
"Ooh, honestly, it's very difficult. Very, so, erm, I don't do that much, but when I have the urge to reveal a spoiler, I just have Tom flick my forehead. And he is so eager to hit me, he's always waiting on chances like this, where he could playfully hit me"
The next hour Jimmy and I talked like we had known each other for ages. I just wished Tom would be here...
