New Friend Acquired
Daniel's P.O.V.
After the little passing of words between me and Tom everyone just started to talk about nothing in particular. I don't exactly remember what the joke was but by the time the director Chris Columbus came we were all red in the face and having trouble breathing. He smiled at us "Well it seems we're all well acquainted." We smiled right on back. "Alright kids so it's time to put on your uniforms to see if they're are any alterations left to be made. After that we'll give you your scripts and after you've got it down we can start filming." We all nod and a lady shows us where our rooms will be with our clothing and such. My and Rupert's' rooms are right next to each others while Emma's is on the other side of the hallway. While we're walking down there we start talking about the things we like. He tells me how annoying his 3 sisters can be and how his brother is okay. I tell him about my parents and how i'm an only child. "That must be great not having to share anything or going to brush your teeth to find makeup and hair ties everywhere," he tells me. I shake my head "Honestly it gets kinda lonely since my mum and dad work as much as they do. I appreciate the time they make for me but sometimes I wish I had a sibling to hang around with when they're not there." He looks at me a little sadly before offering me a smile. "Well it seems as if we won't just be best friends on screen but off screen too. I'll be like the brother you've never had." Fighting the smile trying to make it's way onto my face would be pointless so I let it be. We continue walking and talking. We get to our dressing rooms sooner than I would have liked. We meet Chris in front of our rooms. "Alright we're going to be filming the ending scene of Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone first. Mainly because we have it all set up and it's just a touching scene. Also one of the few where we use the train. Oh Daniel since you have blue eyes and Harry has green we got you some green eye coloured contacts to have it be more accurate." He hands me the eye contacts pack and says "Don't worry, you're not the only one making some sacrifices Emma's got fake buck teeth to have a more Hermione feel." He left the two of us to get to our rooms and change into our uniforms. A women came in, after knocking to ma sure I was decent, to help me put in the contact lenses. They irritated me immensely and I immediately wanted them out. I tried sucking it up though since I didn't want to bash Chris for making me wear the contacts. I could feel my eyes burning a bit but I tried to ignore it. As we were taking shots and takes of the ending of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone my eyes started to redden up so much that even Chris noticed. He yelled "Cut!" and walked up to me. He saw how red my eyes were and asked me if I was okay. I couldn't lie so I told him how the contacts were bothering me. He studied my eyes real close and deduced it might be an allergic reaction. He asked me if I could work through the contacts a bit longer since we had already gotten a couple of takes perfected for the movie. He promised me as soon as we were done filming this scene that I wouldn't have to wear contacts for the remainder of the film. I was grateful since I didn't think I could bear wearing these insufferable things in my eyes for more than just a couple of hours. We continued the scene with me wiping my eyes every so often in between takes. After we had gotten what we needed Chris took me over to some of the makeup people who knew about eyes and allergic reactions to them since they did work with your eyes and face a lot. I got some pills and rubbing oil for my eyes after they took the contacts out. A small amount of joy went through me as I heard that Emma felt uncomfortable with the buck teeth in her mouth meaning that she wouldn't wear an enhancement to accuracy as he was supposed to either. Chris informed us that we wouldn't be using the contacts or buck teeth anymore and that they would just try to make my eyes seem back to the normal blue they were for the ending scene. I let out a sigh of relief. The other people on set told us we could hang around with each other a bit after taking a few pictures to reveal to the media spiking some potential interest. After taking some pictures we redressed in our normal clothes and hung out for a bit. Soon we were all off set heading home as the day had been done I guess you could say. Before I left I saw Emma flash me a smile along with Rupert and everyone else. I flashed a bright smile back my eyes unconsciously lingering on Tom for a second longer. With that I was heading home to sleep and be well rested for tomorrow a tranquil smile gracing my features.
