Romeo and.... Julius?
Disclaimer: Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy and all related characters and locations are the property of JK Rowling, her agents etc. I'm just borrowing them though I dearly wish I didn't have to give Draco back. The plot belongs to the bard eternal - William Shakspeare. I've borrowed quite heavily from the text of Romeo and Juliet for this, but as some of the words have been changed I haven't put the excerpts in italics. Sorry. I know several of you will look at this in horror but it's really for my own pleasure, so....
Warnings: This is Slash fiction, m/m love etc. Don't like, don't read.
Prologue
Two Houses, both alike in dignity,
In fairest Hogwarts, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where student blood makes student hands unclean.
From forth the fatal dorms of these two foes,
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life,
Who's misadventured, piteous overthrows,
Doth, with their death, bury their houses strife.
The fearful passage of their death marked love,
And the continuance of their houses rage,
Which, but their hero's end, naught could remove
Is now the two hours traffic of our stage,
The which, if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss our toil shall strive to mend.
A/N. No. Harry and Draco will *not* be dead at the end of the fic. I'm not *that* evil!
