Yat, it is the ball. And the bit in this where they kiss, that is all direct quote from shakespeare. Ok. on with it...
and review, or I shall curse the with the fire of a thousand suns.

Ginny looked down at the gown in which she was being strangled. It was a beautiful dress, true, but it was so tight. When Nurse was doing up the corset, she even believed she heard her ribs crack.
Yes, that was the way Romeo and Juliet should have been, Juliet was killed by a broken rib puncturing her lungs, and her lungs filling with blood.
She smiled dispite her lack of breath and moved to the door of her bedroom. She could hear the people in the ballroom already, all of the elite of the townsfolk were downstairs. She couldn't help but be just a little nervous.
But at least she knew one person down stairs. At least Draco would be down there.
There was a knock on the door, and Nurse walked in.
"Come, M'Lady, the ball awaits the arrival of young lady Capulet" She smiled cheerily. Ginny nodded, took a deep breath, and picked up her golden mask from her bed.
Well, here goes nothing...
*****
He was still in tights. He could not believe that he was still in tights, why couldn't they have worn real pants in Shakespeare's time?
Draco pulled the hem of his large shirt down, trying in vain to cover his...well...his ass.
"The time has come, onward to the ball" Benvolio said.
"Page, go ahead, check that thy enemy Tybalt is not lerking at the Capulet's gate" Mercutio ordered, and dennis the page ran off into the crowd heading towards the Capulet manor.
Draco almost slapped himself on the forehead, why the hell had he not remembered Tybalt. Tybalt, the mortal enemy, and cousin of Juliet who Romeo kills for killing Mercutio.
"We wish not quarrel on this pleasent evening" Benvolio smiled at Draco, he nodded mutely.
The group continued towards the gates of the Capulet estate and lifted their masks to their faces,
Showing their invitations, the three boys and the page, entered the large estate, moving towards the source of the music.
*****
The room stilled and silenced when Ginny walked in.
She smiled nervously and blushed. She didn't know what to do, she just stood there dumbly until some one made their way to her.
Ginny looked at the young man before her.
"I guess you dont remember me either" Ginny said as Ron took her hand and kissed it soft.
"Of course I remember thee, dear cousin, thou art Juliet" The Ron look alike smiled. Ginny sighed.
"You called me cousin so I guess that makes you Tybalt?" She questioned
"Yes, M'Lady...I am so glad thou hath arrived at the party, the party in thou's honour" Tybalt replied.
"Me? all of this is for little old me?" Ginny asked, surprised.
"Thou knows this, thy wedding is set soon, thou must meet the groom" Tybalt replied. Ginny looked at him. Did he really see nothing wrong with the sentence that had come out of his mouth. She was only just meeting her suitor.
"Well, lucky me..." Ginny smiled sarcastically, but Tybalt did not notice.
"Thou shalt be happy with Paris" Tybalt told her, almost like a command.
"I might be, I might also meet him and wish that I could die" She told him, Tybalt looked at her oddly.
"Such colourful language, M'Lady" He replied.
"I am sorry, thou shalt not do it again" Ginny replied, but Tybaly continued to stare at her.
"Oh, look, there is my mother, must go...check ya later Ty" Ginny smiled, weaving her way through the crowd.
"Check...you...later?" Tybalt repeated to himself.
*****
"There you are, Juliet" Her mother smiled as Ginny approached.
"Good evening Mother" Ginny replied, still scanning the crowd, looking for any sign of silver-blonde hair. All of the people that she had to pretend to know were freaking her out, and even in this world, Ron was trying to rule her life.
"Then introductions are in order..." Her mother began "Juliet, thy groom is here"
Ginny looked at the small stature of the man she was to marry, and then couldn't help but laugh.
Before her stood Harry Potter.
"Lord Paris, my daughter, Juliet" Lady Capulet introduced. Ginny watched as Harry's...or Paris' bright green eyes lit up.
"Juliet, thy beauty doth compare to a bright summers day, when the sun doth shine on the golden earth" Paris smiled, kissing Ginny's hand.
"Did you make that up all by your self?" Ginny laughed. Paris looked at Lady Capulet, confused.
"Juliet" She snapped "Thou must excuse my daughter, she hath been alitte under the weather lately"
"Yes, thou is sorry" Ginny smiled.
"Quite alright, lady Juliet...doth thou wish to dance?" Paris asked.
"With all due respect, thou doth not" Ginny replied. Paris nodded.
"I understand, by dear, thou has other matters to attent to" Paris smiled
"Yes, I shall see you later" Ginny laughed again, and then moved off to the refreshments table.
*****
Draco and the others moved into the ballroom. Bevolio and Mercutio immediately moved towards the food, so Draco moved to the other corner of the ball room, leaning against the stone pillar.
He scanned the masses of people, seaching for Ginny. But she was not there.
Suddenly, he felt some one pinch his butt.
He turned, Ginny was grining at him.
"I am sorry, i could not help myself" Ginny told him. Draco smiled.
"Yeah, I know, with my buns of steel, it is hard to keep girls hands off of my butt" Draco smiled
"Yeah, and they look good in tights too" Ginny added. Draco blushed and pulled down his shirt again.
"Oh, cool you get to carry a sword" Ginny smiled at the sword on Draco's hip.
"Yeah, well, you never know when Tybalt may jump out at you" Draco grinned.
"Speaking of Tybalt...he is Ron" Ginny informed Draco. He turned to her.
"He is Ron?" Draco questioned.
"I mean, he looks like Ron, just like the others look like people" Ginny told him.
"Thought as much, Tybalt would have to look like one of my real enemies" Draco smiled.
"So..."
"So...Have you met Paris yet?" Draco asked
"Yes, and you will never guess who he is" Ginny smiled
"Ok, then i am not going to try" Draco smiled, she laughed.
"Paris is in the form of Harry" Ginny informed him.
"Harry, Harry Potter?" Draco laughed.
"Yep" Ginny replied.
"Oh, this is getting weirder and weirder" Draco smiled
"Tell me about it" Ginny smiled, but Draco was gone. She looked to the side, and saw him hiding behind the pillar.
"What are you doing?" She asked, but he onlypointed towards the ball.
"Here you are, M'lady, Paris carves thy presence" Nurse smiled.
"Umm, yeah, ok" Ginny replied, Nurse turned to leave. Ginny smiled at Draco and then turned to leave.
*****
She sighed and rolled her eyes.
Ginny had always thought that if Harry didn't have quidditch to talk about, then he would say nothing interesting.
And it was true. Paris had nothing interesting to say, and yet...he kept talking.
"I need to get away for a while...why dont you talk to some one else" Ginny told him, he nodded, and continued his boring story on his page (who looked like Colin Creevey)
She leaned against the Pillar and shut her eyes, she was so bored.
"If I profane, With my unworthiest hand, this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this; my lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand, to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss" Ginny turned at the soft, almost husky voice in her ear. She smiled at Draco.
"Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand to much, which mannerly devotion, show in this; for saints have hands that pilgrims hands do touch, and palm to palm a holy palmers kiss" Ginny replied. Draco was taken aback. She knew this bit almost word for word.
"Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?" He smiled at her.
"Ay, pilgrim, lips they must use in prayer" Ginny smiled back
"O! then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do; They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to dispair" Draco replied.
"Saints do not move, though grant for prayers sake" Ginny smiled.
"Then move not, while my prayers effect I take, thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purg'd" Draco replied, Ginny shut her eyes. She knew what was going to happen next. She waited in silent anticipation until Draco's soft lips brushed hers. She smiled and opened her eyes.
"Then have my lips the sin that they have took" Ginny whispered, thei lips still close together.
"Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urg'd! give me my sin again" Draco replied, and moved forward yet again. This kiss was stronger, more urgent, full of hope and promise.
This must have been what the real Romeo and Juliet felt at this time, Ginny thought, at a time that they didn't even know each other or their identities.
"You kiss by the book" Ginny smiled breathlessly, Draco laughed. His arms still wrapped around Ginny petite waist.
"I didn't expect you to know all of that" he smiled. Ginny's hand moved to her lips.
"i dodn't expect you to kiss me like that" she replied breathlessly. He laughed.
"Now, i better move away, because if my timing was right, the nurse will be coming to get you soon." Draco unclasped his hands reluctantly and took a step back.
"Wait...when can we see each other again?" Ginny asked
"Why, the orchard scene, of course" Draco smiled his drop dead sexy smiled, and moved away.
"Madam, your mother craves a word with you" Nurse said.
Yeah, ok, i'll be there in a tick" Ginny replied, still watching Draco's retreating form as it moved to Bevolio and Mercutio.

A/N: i like the way this one turned out.

Next - the balcony scene.
