Tigerlily and Summer were in their dorm, with their roommates Tahlia and Juliette. Juliette was staring dreamily out the window.

'Whats up Julz?' asked Lauren. They were best friends since forever, and told each other everything. Juliette looked like Clare Danes in the movie, but younger obviously, and she was a hopeless romantic.

'You won't believe me.'

'Course I will. Tell me after I find out why I wasn't able to eat much dinner. Oy, Summer, why the lack of food?'

'Duh.' replied Summer grinning. 'Pizza and Girl Talk tonight.'

'Ok. Julz seems to have something to tell us all, and Tigerlily, I want to hear all about James Potter.'

The door opened, and Tinkerbelle came in, carrying pizza boxes, which she put on the floor. They magically moved all the beds to the edges of the room, and sat in a circle, on top of an assortment of blankets and pillows.

'So, why did James Potter ask you to the ball?' asked Juliette. 'It's so sweet, making up that thing about the bread rolls.'

'They're saving us from having to make up an excuse not to go with Amos Diggory.' replied Lily.

'Us? Did I miss something?' said Lauren.

'I'm going with Remus, and Summer is going with Sirius.' explained Tinkerbelle.

'Long story.' said Summer. 'So let's hear about Julz and why she was staring out of the window.'

'Well.' said Juliette. 'You won't believe me, but in Gryffindor, in our year, is the son of my parents friends, who I've never met before. We met at a party Mum had, and we're kind of going out now.'

'Congrats, but how is that unbelievable?' asked Lily.

Juliette grinned. 'His name is Romeo.'

'WHAT? You're kidding me! What self respecting person would name their son Romeo?' demanded Lauren.

'Who cares? He's hot, and he likes me too.'

'You're right, this is unbelievable.' said Summer. 'First thing tomorrow, I'm asking Sirius. Wait, I'll just send them an owl.' She whistled loudly, and an owl appeared at the window. She wrote something on a piece of paper, gave it to the owl, Stella, and Stella left. Summer sat back down, and grabbed a piece of pizza. 'So, now, about the Marauders…'

*********************************************************************

'Today was…interesting.' said James, as he got changed for bed in his dorm, to his roommates, Remus, Sirius, Mundungus, and Romeo.

'Yeah, definetly.' said Remus. Something tapped on the window. Sirius walked over and opened it. An owl flew in.

'Whose owl is that?' he asked everyone, but nobody knew. 'He read the note, and started grinning.

'Romeo, buddy!' he exclaimed.

'That's not funny!' he said, annoyed. It was hardly his fault his parents had no taste in names.

'Why didn't you tell us?'

'Tell you what?'

'That you met a girl called Juliette over the summer, which you're now dating?'

'WHAT?' exclaimed the other three boys, and looked at the parchment in Sirius' hand.

Sirius

Do you know a guy called Romeo? Apparently he's in our year, and in Gryffindor. Anyway, there's this girl in our dorm who he met over the summer, and they're dating now. Told you Gryffindors couldn't resist Ravenclaws! The amazingly funny thing is, you'll never believe me, but Scouts Honour its true, this will provide us with so much material for teasing. Her name is…

…Juliette!

Love,

Summer

P.S. Don't pay anything to the love thing, I always write that at the end of letters.

P.P.S. Tell James he's gonna lose Tigerlily, I saw Snape staring at her in the great hall.

P.P.P.S. Tell Remus that Tinkerbelle says hi. Ok, she doesn't actually, but I'm sure she would if she thought of it.

P.P.P.P.S. Tell your other roommate that we have another roommate called Tahlia, who is currently single.

'Whose Summer, and Tigerlily, and Tinkerbelle?' asked Mundungus (Otherwise known as John, or John Smith. Everyone decided his name was so weird, they gave him the most boring, common name possible.)

'Our dates to the ball.' replied James. 'We met them on the train. If we didn't ask them, they would've been stuck with Hufflepuffs eg. Amos Diggory. But they're nice enough. Tigerlily's a tease. I feel sorry for her about Snape.'

'Oh, great I'm getting set up.' said John.

'Wait, we're being distracted from the purpose.' said Sirius. He looked at Romeo. 'You're gonna wish your life was over.'

He had a desperate look on his face. 'I knew it. She mentioned Summer, Tigerlily and Tinkerbelle. No!'

Sirius and the others grinned wider. 'This is priceless.' said Remus. 'Truly priceless.'

'I can't believe this.' said James. 'Romeo and Juliette. Meant to be.'

*********************************************************************

The next day, at breakfast, Sirius, James and Remus stood up, and walked up to the teachers table.

'Potter! Black! Lupin! Sit down!' said Professor McGonagall.

'But, professor, we have an announcement.' said Sirius, pleadingly. 'It's important, and it involves no Slytherins.'

The whole Great Hall was wondering what was going on, except for John and Romeo, who knew. John was grinning, and Romeo's head was in his hands.

'Let them have their fun, Minerva.' said Dumbledore. 'But no pranks.'

The Marauders grinned, and nodded.

'Oy Summer!' shouted Sirius to the Ravenclaw table. 'Bring HER up here. And John, bring him!'

Juliette and Romeo were dragged up to the front by Summer and John, and held in place by Remus and Sirius, while James took over as the shouter. Summer and John returned to their seats. Summer tried to get them to tell her what was happening, but they wouldn't say.

'It has come to our attention.' shouted James. 'That we have a new couple at Hogwarts!' People who knew both Romeo and Juliette grinned. Others looked confused. There were always new couples, what's so important about this one? 'What is special about this couple.' continued James. 'Is their names. It was like it was meant to be, and so, ladies, gentlemen and Slytherins, who are neither, I present to you, Hogwarts soon-to-be-most-famous couple, Romeo and Juliette!' The whole hall broke out into loud array of cheers, clapping and catcalls.

James waved his wand, and 'Romeo and Juliette' was written in the air, in curly red writing. The two blushed even more. The Marauders bowed, and returned to their seats, quickly followed by a very red Romeo and Juliette.

'I'm going to kill you.' said Romeo to the Marauders, but he was smiling.

Some seventh years grinned at him, and said 'Nobody's ever going to forget this.'

'Romeo and Juliette…its classic.' said one of the other seventh years, shaking his head. 'You'll go don in history.' Unfortunately for Romeo, he bore an uncanny resemblance to Leonardo DiCaprio, which the muggleborns quickly noticed, and they also noticed how Juliette looked like Claire Danes. They wasted no time in informing everyone of this, which just added to the pair's embarrassment.

By the end of breakfast, Juliette was sick of the Ravenclaws quoting lines from the play at her, so she went over to the Gryffindor table.

'Look.' she said to Romeo, and all the Gryffindors near him. 'You're lucky, I got the smart house. Everybody's quoting Shakespeare at me, and it's getting on my nerves. So I came over here, which might seem like a big mistake, since you're all teasing him too. But at least none of you know Shakespeare.' she sat down on his lap.

'Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou Romeo?' said Sirius, grinning.

'You know one line. Big deal. Does anybody else know anymore of the play?' They all shook their heads. 'Good. I can live with one line. Especially when I know exactly where he is.'

'They'll think of other stuff to do.' said Romeo to her. 'We'll never be safe.'

'The cup is half full, remember that.' she said.

'You don't know them.'

'Hate to break up the little lovers conversation you're having.' said James. 'But…'

'Oh, right James I brought you something from Tigerlily.' said Juliette. She handed him a bread roll. 'She said to tell you Merry Christmas.'

He grinned. 'I'll say thanks to her later. Now back to what I was saying…'

'Julz let's go.' said Romeo quickly.

'But I'm hungry.'

'You seriously don't know them. They can be really annoying. You should have seen them when they first found out my name was Romeo. Trust me, you want to leave.'

'Romeo?' she said.

'Yes?'

'Are you going to shut up by yourself, or do I have to make you?'

'Make me? How would you do that?' She kissed his mouth, and the surrounding crowd started doing their catcalls again. The couple kept kissing though, oblivious to their surroundings. They were finally interrupted by the mail. The Gryffindor table was next to the Ravenclaw one, and the Marauders turned around, to see Tigerlily, Tinkerbelle, Summer and another girl laughing, who they recognised as the girl who told them about the ball. The four of them ran over to Juliette, laughing hysterically, and holding a pink piece of paper. It wasn't that far, and when they got there, they eventually managed to say something. 'Here.' said Lily. 'Read.' She handed the paper to Juliette, before starting to laugh again.

My Little Mudblood

Your hair is so pretty,

Long curls of red

It's a beautiful thing

Growing out of your head

Your skin is so lovely

I would die just to touch you

To feel your flesh

And stroke you too

Your body is so perfect

I am entranced

And I can think of nothing better

Then if we danced

But it is your eyes

That I love the most

Circles of green

Almost alive, almost

Severus Snape

(A/N That is NOT my best poetry, not nearly. Actually, I don't write poetry, but when I do, I swear its better. it's supposed to be bad, I promise. And Snape's totally serious)

Juliette burst out laughing as well. Romeo tried to see it but she gave it back to Lily, laughing into his shoulder.

'What's so funny on that paper?' asked Sirius.

Summer stopped laughing long enough to say. 'You know how I said James was going to lose Tigerlily to Snape?'

Sirius nodded, and the Marauders, Romeo and John were listening now.

'He just did.' giggled Summer.

'I did NOT get lost to Severus Snape!' said Lily stubbornly, then she started laughing again.

'Give me the paper.' ordered James. 'She's MY date, I get to see it.'

Tigerlily handed it to him. 'You're going to crack up.'

James read it aloud to the listening audience, and soon all of them were in hysterics as well. 'I am SO glad we met you.' said James. 'To think I could've missed this!'

'I'm taking it back now.' said Lily, and she grabbed the paper. 'Honestly, does he think I'd date anyone who called me 'My little mudblood?'

'But Lily.' said Tinkerbelle innocently. 'You've dated people who insult you before. Don't you remember last summer when…'

'I thought we were never going to mention that again.' said Lily. 'But you know, you have some shameful secrets yourself.'

'Hey guys, lets go get our stuff for History of Magic.' interrupted Summer. She dragged them off, and Julz and Tahlia followed.

'Have you ever read a more horrible poem?' asked James. 'Imagine, rhyming most with almost.'

'It's sad, very sad.' agreed Remus. 'But we can get a copy.'

'When?'

'Sirius, we have History of Magic now.'

'So?'

'So who just left for History of Magic?'

'Oh. So we should go get our books now?'

'That could work.'

'Come on Prongs.' The three boys left the great hall, thinking about the best way to embarrass Snape with that letter.
