Hogwarts Play
The love story of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy were renowned in the Wizarding World as a love that transcended all boundaries and had even put a stop to the reign of the Dark Lord Voldemort. It was a story that made ladies swoon and turned into instant bestsellers at bookstores.
Which was probably why a playwright named Maximilian Corvin took it upon himself to make a play out of said story. Needless to say, the play was wildly successful and it made Corvin rich beyond his wildest dreams.
Incidentally, a copy of the play happened to land right at the hands of Headmistress McGonagall and in a rare bout of utter lunacy (which Sibyll Trelawney attributed to the conjunction of Neptune) the headmistress had the brilliant idea of letting the sixth years perform it on Valentine's Day. Posters for auditions soon showed up in the announcement boards.
"So are you gonna try out?" Nessa nudged Jamie as they stood outside the Great Hall looking at the poster.
"I dunno…" the other boy muttered.
"Oh come on! You'd be perfect for the part, Jamie! Besides…" Nessa grinned devilishly. "Don't you think their story sounds rather familiar?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about, Nessa," Jamie sighed.
Nessa snorted. "As if, Jamison!"
"Hey guys." Both turned to look at the newcomer, a grinning, chestnut haired boy.
"Hey Reine," Nessa greeted. "Jamie and I were just looking at the poster for the play."
Reine's brow went up. "Did you know Christof Damaris is auditioning too?"
Jamie flushed slightly while Nessa squealed. "Oh, this is it Jamie! The perfect way to get you and Christof together! You are definitely signing up for this play!"
"Christof?" a voice behind them asked. "I didn't just hear you mention something about my brother and Christof Damaris did I?"
Jamie sighed as his twin Luke swaggered up to them. "Does my ickle wickle little brother like Christof Damaris?"
"Bugger off, Lucas," Jamie retorted. "This is none of your business."
Luke's brows shot up. "On the contrary, Jamie, if it's your love life it is my business," he paused slyly. "Christof Damaris, hm? You know we're not exactly friends but he is in my house… although what a Gryffindor like you would see in a Slytherin like him is beyond me. But then again this isn't the first time this has happened." Luke discreetly indicated the poster. "I could talk to him if you want." Smirk.
"You'd only make things worse. Mind your own and I'll mind mine," Jamie answered. "If you don't, I can probably blackmail our parents with those photos of you and…"
"All right! All right! I'm leaving!" Luke threw up his hands. "Sheesh."
"You may look alike but you and your brother are way different," Reine commented.
"Enough of that!" Nessa cried out. "We were talking about the play. Do you think Reine and I should audition too?"

Three weeks later…
The students in the Great Hall waited with bated breath as the headmistress began to announce the parts of the play.
"The role of Ginny Weasley will be played by… Staerra Ravenwood of Hufflepuff." Applause.
"Pansy Parkinson will be played by… Emilla Nott of Slytherin." Applause again.
"Blaise Zabini will be played by… Terrance Finnigan of Ravenclaw." Short silence. Then applause.
"Hermione Granger will be played by… Nessa Weasley of Gryffindor." Loud applause and a smiling Nessa.
"Ronald Weasley will be played by… Reine Madelus of Gryffindor." Shocked silence. Loud laughter. Loud cheers and applause and a beet-red Nessa and Reine.
The list went on until…
"Draco Malfoy will be played by… Christof Damaris of Slytherin." Really loud applause.
Jamie groaned while Luke smirked. Somehow, he knew what was coming.
"Harry Potter will be played by… Jamison Malfoy-Potter of Gryffindor." Luke's smirk grew bigger as he saw his brother faint all the way over the Gryffindor table. Come to think of it, Christof Damaris sitting across Luke was turning an interesting shade of pink too.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Christmas break…
Luke grinned at Jamie as they heard their parents apparate. His brother was really much fun to torment.
"Quit it Luke!" Jamie grumbled.
Luke rolled his eyes. "Just go down there and get it over with," he advised.
Both boys bounded down the stairs of Godric's Hollow to greet their parents. Finding Harry and Draco lip-locked though wasn't exactly their idea of a welcome.
"My eyes!" Jamie screeched.
"Jeez you guys, get a room!" Luke frantically cried out.
Harry and Draco merely grinned at their sons. "Welcome home, Jamie, Luke. How was school?" Harry asked as he hung his and Draco's coats on the rack.
Smirk from Luke. "Jamie's got something to say."
Harry frowned at Luke. "It's eerie how you and your father smirk alike, son," he grinned at Draco then turned to Jamie. "Something to say? Is it bad or good?"
"Well, er, good I guess…"
"Spit it out, Jamison. You know your father's not really known for his patience," Draco's smirk really was a mirror of Luke's.
"We're having this play in school and I'm in it and, er, headmistress McGonagall invited you both to come," Jamie rushed out.
Pause. "Sure Jamie. Of course we'll come," Harry smiled as they traipsed to the kitchen for hot chocolate.
"There is no way I am missing what will obviously be a smashing performance from a son of mine," Draco drawled, laughing.
Jamie smiled tentatively. His parents were taking it well enough. He saw Luke's 'I-told-you-it-would-work-out-okay' look directed at him and sighed.
"What's the play about?" Harry asked easily.
Horrified, Jamie raised his eyes and met Luke's identical horror-struck ones. They had mislooked that obvious teensy weensy fact. Uh-oh.
Jamie cleared his throat as Luke prepared to inch away. "Well, dads, the play is about, uh…"
END
Did you guys guess that Jamie and Luke were Harry and Draco's sons at first? I gave a hint with the names. Jamison is a variation of James and Lucas is a variation of Lucius.
