"A Night In"

"A Night In" Dan had been on cloud nine since their team's victory, and the prospect of celebrating with his closest friends was too enticing to resist. As they made their way back to the hotel, he suddenly had an idea. "Hey guys, I was thinking, why don't we have a sleepover at my place tonight?" he asked, already knowing that his hotel suite was spacious enough to accommodate the group. Matthew Lewis's eyes lit up. "Sounds like a blast, mate!" he exclaimed, while Tom Felton nodded in agreement. Rupert Grint, always up for a good time, grinned mischievously. Emma Watson raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "What's the plan, Dan?" she asked, her voice husky. Bonnie Wright, who had been quietly observing the exchange, suddenly spoke up. "Ooh, can I come too?" she asked, her eyes shining with excitement. Dan chuckled. "The more the merrier, Bonnie!" he replied, beaming. The group made their way to Dan's hotel suite, which was conveniently located near the stadium. As they settled in, Dan ordered a round of pizzas and snacks, and they spent the evening lounging on the couch, swapping stories and jokes. As the night wore on, the conversation turned to their experiences on the Harry Potter set. Tom Felton regaled them with stories of his Draco Malfoy antics, while Matthew Lewis shared some hilarious behind-the-scenes anecdotes about his time playing Neville Longbottom. Emma Watson and Bonnie Wright giggled over memories of their time as Hermione and Ginny, while Rupert Grint chimed in with his own tales of Ron Weasley's misadventures. Dan listened, feeling grateful for the easy camaraderie of his friends. As they laughed and joked, he couldn't help but steal glances at Emma, who was looking more beautiful than ever in a simple white tank top and jeans. He felt a flutter in his chest, wondering if tonight might be the night he finally made his move. As the evening drew to a close, they decided to order some more snacks and have a movie marathon. Dan pulled out a stack of DVDs, and they spent the next few hours watching their favorite films and making fun of them. Bonnie Wright fell asleep on the couch, exhausted from the day's activities. Emma Watson curled up beside her. The others continued to watch movies, until eventually, they all decided to call it a night. As they said their goodbyes, Dan walked each of his friends to the makeshift beds that had been set up around the suite. Emma Watson was the last one left, and as Dan tucked her in with a blanket, their eyes met. "Thanks for tonight, Dan," she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper. Dan smiled, feeling his heart skip a beat. "Anytime, Em," he replied, his voice low and husky. As he turned to leave, Emma reached out and caught his arm. "Dan?" she said, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Yeah?" he replied, his heart racing. "I'm glad you invited me tonight," she said, her voice full of sincerity. Dan's pulse quickened as he met her gaze. What did she mean? And what would happen next? Only time would tell.
