So this is a project that a friend and I did for English class. We asked if we could use characters from Harry Potter and got confirmed. And thus, I present to you Just Like Romeo and Juliet, by Dez and Cat.


Harry:

But soft! What light through yonder door doth break?

It is the East, and He is the sun.

How could I keep my love a secret from you;

Oh sly snake,

The talent you have can not compare to any others.

Draco:

Why me? Why is there this forbidden love?

Harry:

He speaks! Oh, speak again, Sweet Angel, so that I may hear your voice.

Draco:

O Harry, Harry! Wherefore art thou Potter?

Deny thy name and refuse thy destiny.

Or, if thou wilt not, but be sworn my love,

And I will no longer be a Malfoy.

Harry:

[aside] Should I make my presence known?

Draco:

Why must you be Potter?

What's in a name? That which we call a Mudblood

By a Muggle-Born would still be as filthy blooded,

For a name means nothing at all.

Harry:

Then I will take away my name and never be Potter.

Draco:

Merlin! Why art thou out past curfew?

Harry:

I could ask the same.

Draco:

Are you not a Gryffindor?

Thou could lose house-points for this.

Harry:

I am not Gryffindor nor Potter if either thou dislike.

Draco:

How did you find me here?

Harry:

By the power a' love

Which shines through the corridors.

Draco:

If my housemates see you here

They will not hesitate to hex you.

Harry:

It doth not matter much,

For I would die happy by your side.

My love for you is true and steady,

I swear this by the moon.

Draco:

Swear not by the moon,

For it is inconstant and changes monthly.

Harry:

Then what shall I swear by?

Draco:

Do not swear at all;

Or if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self,

The apple of my eye

And God of my affection.

Harry:

I swear by my gracious love—

Draco:

No, do not swear

For I have not joy in this contract tonight.

Harry:

O, wilt you leave me so unsatisfied?

Draco:

What satisfaction could you have tonight?

Harry:

An exchange of your love for mine.

Draco:

I gave it before by offer of friendship,

Thou denied me that first year.

Harry:

I do regret that rejected hand.

I only ask one thing,

As to if you wilt have mine now.

Draco:

What of thy love for Ginny?

Harry:

Ginny is but dust in the wind,

Dirt under thy feet,

And a dull star compared to you.

Draco:

Thy dilutes my venom upon my fangs,

Even the most poisonous of bites could not harm you

For you are the antidote to my bite.

Harry:

Oh I–

[Clock tower chimes midnight]

[Filch is mumbling to Misses Norris]

Harry:

Hurry, under the cloak!

[Draco joins him under the invisibility cloak]

Draco:

Our time together is limited,

We cannot stay here for long.

Harry:

Then we shall meet by the Forbidden Forest

Tomorrow when the clock strikes nine.

Draco:

Agreed, for I do not wish to leave you.

Harry:

Then you shall have a piece of me,

But it shall be within a kiss.

[Harry kisses Draco's knuckles]

Draco:

I shall see you tomorrow upon the strike of nine...

[Turns to leave, turns back]

Parting is such sweet sorrow.

~End Scene~


And for your entertainment you get some bloopers. We had been rehearsing it and for the first one we used accents. I hope you enjoy this! ~Cat.

Bloopers

Take one:

Draco:

Are thou not a Gryffindor–?

Dez:

No, I'm australian and also an atheist.

Dez and Cat:

*Cant stop laughing*

~bleep~

Take two:

Draco:

No, do not swear by the moon,

For it is inconstant and changes monthly.

Dez:

Like my period.

Cat and Dez:

*Dies laughing again*

Take three:

Draco:

Why me, why is there this forbidden love?

Dez:

'Cause you're a hustler.
