Ways to ruin a play
Disclaimer- I don't own Harry potter or Romeo and Juliet
Author's note- Here's my third story! I'm having some trouble with 'Misty business' But I will update it! Anyways R&R, and I hope you like this.
Chapter one wherefore art thou Romeo?
An angry Tonks glared at the St. Mungo's nurse.
"Beacuse I hate being in plays, okay?" She snarled
"Please?" Said the nurse pleadingly "You'd be perfect for the lead if you enter!"
Tonks pushed a few of the beds back into their original positions by the window. "You'd make a perfect Juliet!" said the nurse, not wanting to give up.
"The answer is NO!" Said Tonks stubbornly. She marched towards a small group of men playing with a deck of cards. "Hey Lupin?" Slapping him hard on the back. "Arn't you suppose to be helping?"
Lupin gave a pleading look to the small group as he was dragged away from the game. Tonks could tell that the nurse wasn't going to give up on her. Al she wanted to do was get her voulinteer work done in peace.
"The contest is in two days, you still have time to enter!" said the nurse
"What contest?" Lupin asked stupidly
Tonks ignored the question and gave another glare at the nurse. "Imagine me up on stage, what happens if I mess up?" Tonks said jumping up on a table. "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?"
"It is the east and Juliet is the sun." Said a voice behind her. Tonks turned to see Snape was behind her.
"I don't need any coaching from you Snape." Said Tonks, pushing him away. Tonks jumped off of the table and looked menicingly at the nurse. "I'll sign up, for you."
The nurse looked like she was going to give Tonks a big hug. "All you need now is a Romeo."
"I will be a Romeo to this Juliet." Snape announced
"And who cast you, Hmm?" Asked the nurse
"I did." Snape said bluntly
"I'd like to join." Said a voice suddenly "As Romeo for Juliet."
Tonks couldn't believe what she saw next. "Don't tell me." Tonks said, feeling like she was going to faint. "You'd like to join too, Gildroy."
"Yes I would." Said Gilderoy, his arms crossed and leaning on a wall. Tonks couldn't believe what she was hearing. Both Snape and Gildroy wanted to be Romeo.
"Lucky you, o popular one." Said Remus (Tonks nearly forgot about him) "I know you'll be great, no matter who the Romeo ends up to be."
Tonks stared down at the people below her.She was currently practicing for the balcony scene of the play for the contest. With the contest a day away Tonks and a few of the nurses that voulintarily came to help, decided to try and get some practise time in.
"Everbody in place?" Amy haopkins, the nurse who got Tonks into the play asked. Tonks smiled and nodded. Amy, though, glared at Gildroy and Snape.
"This is going to be a complete disaster." Amy muttered "Tonks is never going to win the grand prize."
"And what grand prize is that?" Remus asked, making Amy jump.
"500 galleons and a trip to anywhere you want." Amy answered.
"Really?" Said Remus "I'd think I'd like to join too."
"So that only means." Snape thought, glaring at Remus"He wants to take my part as Romeo!"
