Ch 1~Auditions
Lily Evans and her two best friends, Lori Ashe and Katie Deek, sat down in the squeaky auditorium chairs and began chattering on about the auditions.
Lily had long red hair and bright green eyes. She was pretty tall, which gave her an elegant air. Lori had brown hair, with slightly green eyes, and was quite short. Katie was about the same height as Lori, but had dark brown hair and gray eyes.
"Ooo, I hope we make it so bad!" said Lily, squirming around in her chair.
"Me too!" said Lori. "I hope one of us gets to be Juliet!"
"Wouldn't that be cool if I got to be Juliet and Remus was Romeo?" Katie exclaimed.
"Or me and Sirius!" said Lori.
"Or Lily and James!!" Lori and Katie said at the same time, breaking out into a fit of unstoppable giggles.
"O shut up! You know I'm not proud of my stalker!" Lily said, turning a bright shade of red.
"'If I could change the alphabet I would put I beside you'" said Lori in a mocking tone.
"Lori!" Lily said in a whiny tone, sliding down into her chair, turning redder by the second.
"You know you like it" said Katie.
Just at that moment, Lily's 'stalker' plopped down in the chair beside her.
"Like what? Me? Oh I knew you'd warm up to me sometime Lily-poos!" he said, wrapping his arms around Lily.
"You wish!" said Lily, freeing herself from James' unsightly grip. She looked around to make sure no one had seen, then slouched down in her chair so that nobody would see who she was sitting beside.
James' best friends sat down beside him. Their group was known as the Marauders, which consisted of James Potter, who had jet black hair and beautiful hazel eyes; Sirius Black, with chocolaty brown hair and brown eyes; Remus Lupin, a blonde with bright blue eyes; and Peter Pettigrew, who had light brown hair and brown eyes. (I know that we all think of Peter as 'pleasantly plump,' but in this story pretend like he's hot like all of the other Marauders!) They were well known throughout the school, especially for their magnificent pranks on Slytherin.
Lori and Katie automatically shut up, becoming shy around their crushes.
"So, what part are you guys trying out for?" asked Remus.
"Juliet, of course!" said Lori in a voice that reeked of the word "narf!"
They sat around and babbled on about the last prank the Marauders had played on Severus Snape, their archenemy. Soon the director of the play, John Lockhart (who also taught Divination) went up onto the stage.
"Hello students! It seems to be quite a large crowd that we've gathered here today. Now, you must understand that not everybody will be chosen to play a part, but all of your auditions are greatly appreciated" he said, flashing one of his large toothy grins, receiving several sighs from girls among the crowd. "Let the games begin!" he said, and walked off the stage, taking a seat on the first row.
"Adams, Kyle" was the first called. Slowly the auditorium began to filter out until only a few people were left. Lily, Katie, Lori, and the Marauders were beginning to drift off to sleep when "Evans, Lily" was called. She stood up and walked over to the platform.
She stood in front of Proffesor Lockhart, and it seemed as though her legs were made of jelly. "Chiiiill, Lily, chiiiill" she thought to herself. She gathered her thoughts and began.
"Thou knowest the mask of night is on my face; Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek, For that which thou I dwell on from thou hast heard me speak tonight. Fain would I dwell on form; fain, fain deny What I have spoke: but farewell compliment! Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say 'Ay', And I will take thy word. Yet, if thou swearst, Thou must prove false. At lovers' perjuries They say Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo, If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully. Or, if thou think'st I am too quickly one, I'll frown and be perverse and say thee nay, So thou wilt woo; but else, not for the world. In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond, And therefore thou mayst think my haviour light; But trust me, gentlemen, I'll prove more true, Than those that have more cunning than to be strange. I should have been more strange, I confess, But that thou overheardst, ere I was ware, My true-love passion. Therefore pardon me, And not impute this yielding to light love, Which the dark night hath so discovered."
She took a deep breath and began to walk off stage. Her friends stared in bewilderment. It was obvious that she had a flair for acting, yet to be discovered.
"Bravo, bravo!" exclaimed Proffesor Lockhart. "Excellent!"
He called Katie and Lori next, who were both good, but didn't come close to Lily. When "Potter, James" was called, James arose and strode over to the stage, climbing the stairs with an air of confidence. But once he got on stage he didn't feel quite so confident. He could feel the wetness beginning to grow on his brow, and his hands began to shake. He looked at Lily and felt an immediate rush of calmness along with the usual butterflies in his stomach. He began slowly, but soon his words were flowing as if he were Shakespeare himself.
" But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she. Be not her maid, since she is so envious. Her vestal livery is but sick and green, And none but fools do wear I: cast it off. It is my lady, O it is my love; O that she knew she were. She speaks, yet she says nothing. What of that? Her eye discourses: I will answer it. I am too bold: 'tis not to me she speaks. Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, Having some business, do entreat her eyes To twinkle in their spheres till they return. What if her eyes were there, they in her head? The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven Would through the airy region stream so bright That birds would sing and think it were not night. See how she leans her cheek upon her hand! O that I were a glove upon that hand, That I might touch that cheek."
He finished and looked around. He jumped off of the stage and walked back to his friends.
"Excellent!" exclaimed Professor Lockhart, scribbling some unknown critiques on his clipboard.
"That was great Prongs!" said Sirius as he headed up towards the stage.
"What's with all this nickname business? I know that they go with the whole 'Marauders' thing, but how did you actually come up with the ideas for them?" questioned Lily.
"Oh, its nothing." Said James in an anxious voice. "Lets watch Sirius, ok?"
Lily looked back at James for a moment, wondering why he had changed the subject so quickly. She decided to pester him more about it later; after all, it couldn't be that important, could it?
*
After Sirius, Remus, and Peter had tried out they all headed back to the Common Room. Lily was just about to walk out the door when she felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around to see Professor Lockhart holding her back.
"Just so that you know, Lily, I think that you have quite a good chance at becoming the next Juliet," he said with a wink.
"Thanks Professor" said Lily, hurrying to catch up with her friends. Her head seemed to be drifting up into the clouds, when suddenly she crashed back down to Earth. Alexia Miller, worst enemy and faithful girlfriend to Severus Snape, was still sitting in the auditorium. Rumor had it that Alexia was a true thespian; supposedly she had even had lessons over the summer, provided by her oh-so-rich parents.
"Oh great," Lily thought, "right when I think something fantastic comes along, she comes along and ruins it for me!"
Lily caught up with her friends, deciding against telling them what Professor Lockhart had said. If she wasn't chosen, at least she would be the only disappointed one.
"So what did he want you for?" asked Lori.
"Just to say that I did great on that assignment the other day," she replied.
Once they got back to the Common Room they all picked an over-stuffed chair or couch and sat down, relaxing their brains from all the tension of the days events. Soon they were mostly asleep, except Lily and James.
"You did really good today," James said, arousing Lily from her drowsy state.
"So did you" she said, emitting a large yawn against her will.
"Maybe we should wake all these guys up and head off to bed," he said, motioning towards their peaceful friends.
"Good idea" she replied. "But I hate to do it, they look so happy."
She was right. Lori was cuddled up against Sirius, and Katie's head rested on Remus' shoulder. Peter sat slumped over in a chair, and, although alone, looked quite comfy.
"Your right," said James, "lets just sleep down here tonight."
He did a simple spell, covering himself, Lily, and all of their friends with blankets.
"Goodnight James" said Lily, already drifting off to sleep.
"Goodnight Flower." He replied.
Although no one, other than himself of course, knew that he stayed up for some time, simply gazing at Lily. Just before he fell asleep he could be heard muttering, "I wish I could be Romeo and you could be Juliet." Little did he know that his wish had been granted.

So? What do you think? I would simply LOVE for you to tell me in a nice long juicy review! I'm sorry about all the boring Shakespeare, but that's what would really happen! And I probably wont get this up until after Super Bowl Sunday, but I hope you guys have/had fun! GO PANTHERS!!!! Anyways, please tell me what you think!
