A Forbidden Romance: The Play
Act 1 Scene 1: Blaise Zabini, Romeo.
Disclaimer: I own NADA!!! So leave me alone all u damn lawyers!
Summary: Dumbledore makes a surprising announcement, and a buzz goes around the school. Not until Draco realizes the importance of this does it become too late. But he will still go to any lengths to get what he so desires, because, after all, it's his last year at Hogwarts. D/G.
Ginny should have been extremely excited. All her friends had gotten the part they had wanted. She was going to play Juliet, the lead role. She would finally get to act in a play. Even Malfoy being 4th understudy didn't bother her, because she very well knew that him playing Romeo would never happen. And kissing Blaise Zabini didn't even bother her so much, since he didn't bother any of the Weasleys. The fact remained, however, that he was a Slytherin, and this cause Ron to fume.
Ginny was walking to the Gryff's common room when she felt a hand clasp tightly on her arm.
"Ow!" She filched. She was dragged into a corner when the hand let go. She turned around to see Ron, and he wasn't smiling. Not surprising, since he only grinned in the presence of Hermione.
"Ron, what is your problem? Are you TRYING to stop my blood flow?" Ginny asked angrily.
"Drop out of the play," Ron ordered sternly. "I'll not have you parading around smooching Slytherins."
"EXCUSE ME?!" Ginny hollered, not drawing any attention because, thankfully, the corridor was empty, or so they thought. "You think you can go *parading around* ordering me? Well, I will not tolerate it, Ron. I've done that too long. It's a play, for god's sake! You overreact over everything!"
"Ginny, I'm supposed to protect you. I'm your brother!"
"Protect me from what? From a tiny kiss for a play?! And as for you being my brother, how long did it take you to notice? Sixteen years? And you weren't my brother when I needed friends. Or when I was in a trance for nearly an entire year. Or when I wanted to play Quidditch. No, I did that all on my own, and I can handle this independently as well." Ron looked dumbfounded. He was a little late on the uptake that his baby sister whom he usually dominated relentlessly had finally grown up. Without another word to say, Ginny stormed into the common room. Ron left for the library soon afterward. This left Draco to think about the sight that had unfolded in front of him. He knew Ginny could be fiery when she wanted to. He had experience with this since he couldn't come within five feet of her without her hollering at him. But hopefully this play would change that. **SLTYRHERIN COMMON ROOM** "Zabini." Draco acknowledged. Blaise turned around.
"Hey, Malfoy."
"So, congrats about the play."
"Yeah, thanks," Blaise said enthusiastically.
"Rehearsals tonight. Not worried about snogging a Weasley?"
"Not really. I mean, she's decent-looking. Better than Parkinson, anyway."
Draco sighed. This wasn't going his way. "Everyone's better than Parkinson, Zabini."
"That's true," Blaise said, now looking through his Herbology textbook dully. Draco resisted an urge to snatch the book out of his hands and send it flying across the common room. He decided to try another approach.
"Did you see the costume for Romeo?" Now vain ol' Blaise looked concerned.
"Something wrong with it?"
"Zabini, let me put it this way. Wearing it equals being the laughingstock of the entire school." This of course was not known to Draco, but he had to get Blaise out of the play. Well, Romeo's part anyway.
"Seriously? Wearing tights and kissing a Weasley? This couldn't get any worse," Blaise sad resignedly.
Draco enjoyed this. "Actually, Zabini, hate to be the one to break this to you-"
"I'm sure you do," Blaise said sarcastically.
"Well, Weasley's brother is on a rampage. He vowed to kill anyone who goes near his sister for any reason, even for this show. So, if you don't want to get your neck broken, I suggest you go see Snape before rehearsals and drop out of the play. Romeo's part anyway."
"That is so true. I mean, I wasn't really looking forward to being Romeo or anything. Guess Creevey can take up that position."
"Not for long," Draco muttered incoherently. **REHEARSALS**
"Attention all!" McGonagall announced. "Mr. Blaise Zabini has dropped out of the part of Romeo and has kindly taken to Head Lighter. Romeo's part will be played by Mr. Colin Creevey. That is all."
Ginny was outraged. Yes, kissing Colin wouldn't be as bad as kissing Blaise, but she highly suspected that Ron had something to do with this. He probably threatened the poor fellow. She was just about to pick a bone with him before rehearsals (Ron was a set painter so he could be near Hermione a lot) when she bumped into someone.
"Excuse me," a tall blond Slytherin said almost politely. But Ginny was in a bad mood and felt he was doing this sarcastically.
"Watch where you're going Malfoy." Draco would dearly have loved to say that she had bumped into him but he didn't want any arguments. Anyway, he was sure she thought her brother told Blaise to get out of the play, and as long as the finger didn't point to him, he didn't care. Best of all, though, was that the person who would play Romeo (eventually Draco) had to wear tights. So Blaise could hold nothing against Draco.
Ginny stormed toward Ron. She began her rant. "Why'd you go tell Zabini to drop out of Romeo's part? What is your problem?"
"Ginny, I didn't tell him to get lost, only because you told me not to."
"Yeah, Ginny, Ron was telling me he didn't mean to hurt you," Harry agreed.
"Pardon me, Harry, but I need to get a word with Ron alone." Ginny dragged Ron to the side. "I know what you're trying to do, Ron. You're trying to get me and Harry back together again by telling the other Romeo players to drop out or else." Ron looked disbelieving.
"Ginny, it's nothing like-"
"Well, we tried in last year, Ron, and it didn't work. Harry and I are like brother and sister. And if you try anything like that, I swear, I will do something so horrible that you will never forget."
"Rehearsals are beginning now!" Snape announced. The actors got to there respective places while Draco watched from behind the curtain. Thankfully the kissing scene was not to be rehearsed today. Suddenly, avoice behind him made him jump.
"Did you get Blaise to drop out of the part, Malfoy?" Hermione looked at him suspiciously.
"Granger, why are you asking me? Your nose doesn't belong anywhere near my business."
"It was either you or Ron, Malfoy. Both of you had motives." Hermione said coolly.
"Are you trying to solve a murder?" Draco asked smugly.
"Ron would do it because he doesn't think Ginny has grown up yet. You would do it out of jealousy. You wouldn't want her kissing someone else. After all, you like her so much. And she doesn't know that." It was Hermione's chance to look smug.
Draco's jaw dropped. Well, if he had to admit it to somebody who didn't look as though they minded a Gryff and Slytherin being a couple, it might as well be Granger. "Listne, Granger, if you tell anyone, I swear."
"It's just a little odd, but I knew you weren't all that bad, Malfoy," Hermione answered. "If you want any help, I don't mind. Especially with Harry."
"You're willing to help? After all those names I called you?" Malfoy asked shocked.
"Malfoy, let's forget the past. Besides, if Ginny can't spot the obvious, we better bring it closer to her that you like her."
"Thanks, Granger."
"Anytime, Malfoy. By the way, you might want to leave Finch-Fletchley and Harry to me. I'll think of something. You handle Creevey." Malfoy couldn't help grinning. "Oh, and Malfoy let's keep this personal. And no smiling. After all, your still an arrogant insufferable git in my eyes."
Malfoy sneered. "And your still a lowly muggle-born." **GINNY'S DORM**
"So, Liz, enjoy rehearsals?"
"Definitely! I still don't know why Blaise dropped out of his part." Liz looked curious.
"I think Ron has something to do with it," Ginny answered.
"Really?" Becca asked. "Maybe it was the costume. You have to wear tights for one scene."
"But it's just one scene," Ginny said doubtfully.
"But Blaise is really self-absorbed," Liz said persuasively.
"I don't know," Ginny sighed. "Anyway, let's get to bed. I have advanced Potions tomorrow with the Slytherins."
