    Tom Felton

    It has been 10 years since you played Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series. You remember your time on set fondly, especially growing up with your co-stars. At 11, you had a crush on Tom Felton, but he rejected you because he had a girlfriend, Jade Olivia, who even played Astoria Greengrass in the final scene of the last film. "That made you really sick at the time," but luckily it was "the last scene ever and the last day on set after 10 years."

    Now, you're lying in bed reading Tom Felton's book Beyond The Wand while looking forward to meeting Rupert, Daniel, and Tom tomorrow. You hope other cast members like Luna, Neville, Cho Chang, and Ginny might also be there. One passage in Tom's book particularly catches your attention as you read aloud:

    "She was twelve, I was fifteen. I had a girlfriend, and in any case I'd been programmed to dismiss any talk of that kind of stuff. I laughed it off. In fact, I don't think I really believed her. But time passed and things changed. We grew closer and the more I saw and understood what her life was like... The more empathy I had for her. I became very defensive of her, whenever she needed defending. Rumours started about that there was more to our relationship than we were letting on. I denied that I liked her in that way but the truth was different. My girlfriend at the time knew straight away that there was something unspoken between us. I remember using the familiar old line... 'I love her like a sister.' But there was more to it than that. I don't think I was ever in love with her, but I loved and admired her as a person. In a way that I could never explain to anybody else."
