~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ACT I
PROLOGUE
Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Hogwarts, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SCENE 1, "The Usual Kind of Squabble".
Hogwarts. A public place: The Entrance Hall.
Enter Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle, of the house of Slytherin, armed with wands.
Vincent: I will show myself a tyrant: when I
have fought with the Gryffindor's boys, I will be cruel with the
girls, and cut off their heads.
Gregory: Draw your wand! here comes two of the house of Gryffindor.
Vincent: My naked weapon is out: quarrel, I will back you.
Gregory: How! turn your back and run?
Vincent: Fear me not.
Gregory: No; I fear you!
Vincent: Let us take the law of our sides; let them begin.
Gregory: I will frown as I pass by, and let them take it as they list.
Vincent: Nay, as they dare. I will bite my thumb at them;
which is a disgrace to them, if they bear it.
Enter Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, both from Gryffindor.
Ron: Do you bite your thumb at us?
Vincent: No, I do not bite my thumb at you, but I
bite my thumb.
Ron: You lie.
Gregory: Do you quarrel?
Harry: Quarrel! no.
Vincent: Draw, if you be men. Gregory, remember your swashing blow.
They fight.
Enters Hermione Granger from Gryffindor.
Hermione: Part, fools!
Put down your wands; you know not what you do.
Enters Draco Malfoy from Slytherin.
Draco: Are you drawn by the beating of Muggle lovers?
Turn, Mudblood, look upon your death.
Hermione: I do but keep the peace: put down your wand,
or use it to part these boys with me.
Draco: What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word,
as I hate hell, all Gryffindors, and you:
have at you, Mudbood!
They fight.
Enter several of both houses, who join the fight.
Students from different houses: Strike! beat them down!
Down with the Slytherins! down with the Gryffindors!
Enters Professor Severus Snape, Head of the House of Slytherin.
Snape: Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace,
Profaners of this school.
Will they not hear? you beasts,
Throw your mistempered wands to the ground,
And hear the sentence of your annoyed Head of House.
You, Potter and Gryffindors,
Have thrice disturbed the quiet of our halls.
If ever you disturb our passages again,
Your explulsion shall pay the forfeit of the peace.
For this time, all the rest depart away;
You, Potter, shall go along with me;
And, Gryffindors, come you this afternoon,
To know my further pleasure in this case,
To Potions classroom, your common detention place.
Everybody leaves.

Review if want it to be continued!
Title is bound to change. I don't know yet who of famous Hogwarts characters will do the parts of Romeo and Juliet. Desperately in need of suggestions!
Am I legally allowed to use Shakespeare's original dialogs like this?
You can see the orignal Shakespearian text of "Romeo and Juliet" on http://classics.mit.edu/Shakespeare/romeo_juliet/full.html
Thanks for reading!
