An Eye for An Eye
By juliet's rose
Chapter Five: Two Households, Both Alike in Dignity
James yawned and pinched himself, struggling to stay awake while Professor Binns droned on and on about a weird warlock called Firsterling the Fantastic, who made his living in the Muggle world as a street performer. Whatever. James tuned Binns out, and turned his thoughts to his Muggle Studies Class. Romeo and Juliet.That was the play they were reading, and he would be very surprised if anyone but Lily got Juliet. She was certainly beautiful enough, with moonlit skin and luscious red hair that he longed to tangle his hands in.Whoa, there, James, he thought. If you get excited in History of Magic Sirius'll never let you live it down.
Across the room, Lily stole a look at James. Maybe he was growing up a little bit. He had been very gentlemanly while walking her to class yesterday. I would have never let him do that a year ago, she thought, and smiled to herself. What would happen if he and her were cast as the leads in Romeo and Juliet? Lily was surprised at herself, but she admitted silently that she wouldn't mind all that much having to be a star crossed lover with James Potter. But she didn't know if Professor Carras was even considering either of them for the lovers.Lily sighed. She could deal with it if James wasn't cast as Romeo, but if she didn't get Juliet she wouldn't know what to do. Oh well. Muggle Studies was right after lunch, so she would juts have to wait and find out.
James made sure that he at e his lunch quickly and got up to the Muggle Studies room in time for class to begin. He wasn't gonna miss this.not when he hoped that that there was the smallest chance that he and Lily could get cast as parts that were already in love. James wondered how many times Romeo and Juliet got to kiss. Although Lily wasn't as experienced with the opposite sex as he was, James would bet that she'd be a good kisser. He was startled out of his reverie by a female voice.
"Mind if I sit here?" Lily looked down at James, who was slightly red in the face. He's cute when he's flustered, she thought.
"Be my guest, Evans," he said with what he thought was a flirtatious yet friendly smile.
Lily lowered herself into the seat, and as she did so, James caught a whiff of her scent.it was very light, and just scented enough so that you could smell the sweetness of it.What was her perfume? It smelled delicious.
Lily took a quick look at James, who was glancing at her. They both blushed and turned away, pretending to be interested in their books.
"All right, class. Today we commence our study unit on one of the most famous plays of all time.Romeo and Juliet. First, I'd like to announce who will be playing our leads. These two students will have a great amount of responsibility, and I fully expect that they will spend time together outside of class to rehearse. Okay. Romeo and Juliet will be played by."
A/N Ooooh, evil, huh? Sorry for the cliffhanger.but I need advice. I'm torn between casting L/J as Romeo and Juliet or as casting Lily and some other guy as the leads. I need reviews.please review, because I need to know how this fic is going.!
