Back to Reality

Chapter 2

"Ok, let's do it again, Dan," the director yelled.

Daniel Radcliffe groaned. He had done this scene a million times, and he was beginning to get irritated. It's all part of being an actor, he thought. He took a deep breath and prepared for his scene.

"And... action!" the director said.

Everything went black. A cloaked figure glided toward Daniel, and he had a terrified expression on his face. As the dementor took a long, slow, rattling breath, Daniel's eyes rolled up into his head, and he collapsed.

"Cut!" the director yelled, "that was perfect, Dan. You're free to go."

Daniel stood up, relieved to be done. He hurried to join the party in Emma Watson's trailer. All the other actors had finished hours ago. He arrived at her trailer and knocked on the door.

"Come in," a male voice from inside yelled.

Daniel opened the door and went into the trailer. There was loud music playing, courtesy of the Phelps twins, James and Oliver. Pictures of Brad Pitt covered all of Emma's walls.

"Will you please do something about this bloody music?" said a voice from the corner.

"Matt's right," Daniel chimed in, "this music sucks."

Tom Felton turned to Daniel. "You've been here three minutes and you're already making changes?"

"Actually," Rupert Grint said, "I agree with Dan and Matt. The music should go something like this."

Rupert went into a bad rap.

"Come on y'all, let's join in the party. Get on up and dance, everybody-"

"Stop!" Bonnie Wright yelled at him.

"What's wrong, don't you like my rap?" Rupert asked.

"NO!" everyone yelled.

"What do you know, anyway?" Rupert replied.

Tom changed the subject. "Why don't we listen to this dance CD I just bought. It's really popular in America. It's called the Casper Slide, I think."

"Tom, I don't know anything about American dancing," Emma told him.

"Don't worry, they tell you what to do," tom replied. Then he went over to the CD player, removed Britney Spears, and put the Casper slide CD in.
