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.
