Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, the characters nor do I own Newsies! However much I wish I did…

A/N: Sorry it took so long (and there are no replies frowns) I thank you all though! I hope you like the chapter! I'm working on the update to My Girls so that'll be coming soon I hope and I'm also working on WTF 2 (with a different title of course) and my first Parody which I find to be completely sarcastic but it's just for fun. Anyway, enjoy! Next chapter will be the start of the play (if not the chapter after that) lol. ENJOY!

Last time on Why Romeo REALLY Killed Himself…

"Aww Granger I think you should go out and try that again. You're supposed to be happy to see me." Draco said amused. Hermione's eyes narrowed before she sighed and grabbed Draco by his robes and bent him down so he was facing her before planting her lips on his quickly before letting him go. However, what Hermione didn't expect was Draco to kiss her back. As they kissed Hermione almost forgot who she was with and why. Slowly her hands made their way to his shoulders and her eyes shut. His arms were already around her waist before he ended the kiss.

Hermione cursed herself before she opened her eyes. The sight before her was not what she expected. Draco Malfoy staring at her open mouthed. His eyes were looking from one to the other of hers in desperation. The moment seemed to last forever until Draco averted his gaze to the floor before taking his bag and leaving the Great Hall. Leaving Hermione standing all alone.

Now on to the fic!…

"What in BLOODY HELL were you thinking!" Draco scolded himself.

"You should have insulted her! Called her the most horrible kisser you'd ever had! But no, you ran, like a coward. Oh father would be proud." Draco thought to himself as he marched down the hallway angrily. Draco growled before forgetting the whole incident. At least he hoped…

Before Hermione knew it, she was back in the common room.

"So how'd it go?" Ron was immediately at her side asking question after question.

"How do you think?" Hermione answered without answering.

"Don't worry Hermione, there'll be others." Harry added soothingly with a pat on her shoulder. Hermione nodded.

"Thanks, I'm just going to go to bed. Night." Hermione said before running up the stairs to bed.

"Is she acting weird?" Harry asked Ron once Hermione was out of earshot.

"You kiss Malfoy and tell me how you'd act." Ron pointed out.

The next morning all Hermione could think about was rehearsal that night.

"What if we have to kiss in front of the entire cast! Should I talk to Malfoy about it? Why did he leave so suddenly?" Hermione tried her hardest to forget her thoughts and focus on the day ahead.

Draco opened the doors to the Great Hall and heard a slam. As he opened the doors more he found Hermione sitting on her bum with a frown on her face.

"So you've finally realized what a prince I really am and decided to bow as I entered the room Granger? How thoughtful." Draco sneered. Hermione glared up at him.

"Whatever keeps me from looking into that ugly mug." Hermione bit back before standing up and dusting herself off. Draco glared at her but before another comment could be sent Hermione turned on her heel and left towards the Gryffindor table.

Draco growled before taking a seat at the Slytherin table. Flint turned towards the body sitting next to him and found Draco slumped down with a scowl and a glare directed at the Gryffindors. Flint smirked.

"So, ready for rehearsal?" Flint asked conversationally. Draco tore his eyes off of Hermione and turned to Flint.

"I suppose, what exactly do you have planned?" Draco asked cautiously.

"Oh, you'll see." Flint said with a smirk.

That night Draco was apprehensive about rehearsal.

"I could just tell them I'm sick." He mumbled to himself as he walked to the Great Hall. In the end he knew he actually wanted to be there. After everyone entered and settled down, Flint stood up on the conjured stage from Dumbledore.

"Alright, tonight is time to bring this musical together. I'm in charge of teaching you kids how to sing. Now, according to Johnson, to make this less awkward we'll sing one of the group songs." Flint explained. The entire cast backed up, some with slight blushes. Ron and Harry and Neville to be specific. Draco gulped. This would be a long rehearsal…

Rehearsal finally ended and Harry could not wait to leave the Great Hall. As he gathered his things everyone had left. Everyone except…Malfoy. Harry sighed before speaking up.

"Hey Malfoy." Harry called. Draco looked up somewhat curiously.

"He doesn't know about the kiss does he?" Draco thought worriedly. However, his face showed no signs of nervousness.

"Yea Potter?" His voice however said differently.

"What's wrong with you?" Harry asked curiously. Only an idiot would ever answer that and Draco was no idiot.

"Nothing." Draco said smoothly with a glare.

"What do you want?" Draco asked as both boys had packed up their bags and were standing in front of one another.

"Listen, the show's in a week and I think we should…try to work together." Harry explained. Draco stared at him apprehensively.

"Is this about Granger?" Draco tentatively asked. Harry looked at Draco curiously.

"Why do you ask?" Harry asked calmly.

"No reason." Draco said looking at the floor.

"Why do you ask now? This has to be more than the play." Draco commented.

"Look, I don't know why I'm bothering but you once offered me friendship and I figure…we might as well make the most of this play." Harry said. After a few moments Draco nodded.

"Have you been working on that speech?" He asked. Harry nodded sheepishly.

"What can I say, it was the only leeway I had." Harry shrugged. Draco nodded.

"Alright Potter…er, for the play." With that Harry left.

"What the hell have you done?" Draco asked himself aloud.

Since then, Harry and Draco felt it easier to play their roles as best friends in the production now that they really were friends. However, as soon as the scene ended they gave no sign as to what was happening. Draco and Hermione spent most of their time insulting one another and ultimately complaining about one another. They never gave any hint at their kiss. Not even when performing in front of the cast…they hoped…

"I got the popcorn!" Flint called. Ron quickly grabbed some and examined it before swallowing the entire handful. Draco glared at Flint before looking towards the heavens. When he turned to Hermione who was off of the stage she had the same idea it seemed as she was staring up at the ceiling and mumbling to herself as well.

"Alright everyone on the stage. Now be happy, Draco just got back remember." Johnson called as the cast climbed on the stage and surrounded Draco.

"Perfect, now Hermione." Johnson called before sitting down and taking a handful of popcorn and sitting next to Flint.

Hermione sighed before walking on stage. She put on a smile that surprisingly did not come across as fake. She made her way through the crowd and up to Draco as the boys cheered. He smiled at her as she approached. Immediately they locked lips and wrapped their arms around one another. Hermione and Draco didn't even realize the entire cast went silent. "Less" didn't even hug them so they broke apart on their own with smiles on their faces. Less then a moment later and they separated themselves from one another and both wore frowns as they stared at their directors.

Johnson had her mouth wide open and her hand halfway there, full of popcorn. Flint wore a crooked smile but his eyes were wide with shock.

"Oy people! Snap out of it!" Draco called getting annoyed at the silence. Immediately Johnson spoke up.

"That was…very good. Uh…I think we can move on right?" She asked nervously. Hermione and Malfoy shared a look before nodding.

"Right…moving on."

"Did you see that kiss? My god, I'm a Slytherin and I even got a feeling from the two of them!" Flint cried out with a smirk.

"I'd actually agree with you. They do have some chemistry." Johnson nodded.

"And you wanted Potter! HA!" Flint cheered.

"You know what I'm wondering though?" Johnson asked.

"How to spell your last name?" Flint asked boredly. Johnson ignored him however and continued.

"How could they possibly share a kiss so intense and just get out of it like nothing happened? Poor Hermione must be breaking inside." Johnson said understandingly.

"Please, isn't it obvious?" Flint asked with his arms raised.

Johnson stared at him blankly.

"Oh, right, you're not a Slytherin. Well, Draco obviously is hiding his feelings from her." Flint said as though it meant nothing.

"What? That's insane, they hate each other." Johnson argued.

"Come on, what Slytherin, especially a guy like Malfoy, is going to confess to falling for a Gryffindor? Especially when that Gryffindor is none other than bookworm, muggle-born, best friend to Harry-fricken-bloody-won't-die-Potter, Granger?" Flint asked.

"You have a point."

"Of course I do…you know, I almost think this is better than the original plan of making them get more irritated with one another." Flint concluded. Johnson nodded.

"You're a bad influence on me Flint." Johnson grinned. Flint nodded with a smirk.

"You haven't seen anything yet doll face." Flint smirked.

"What in bloody hell was that!" Ron cried, slamming the portrait hole behind him.

"What was what?" Hermione asked looking up from her book. Ron's mouth hung open shocked.

"Hermione, you're a smart witch so quit playing dumb." Ron ordered. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Honestly Ron, it was for the play remember? I don't have a choice and I would rather not think about it." Hermione finished before turning back to her book.

"This is unbelievable? You hear her Harry?" Ron asked turning to his best friend. Harry smiled lightly.

"You kiss Malfoy and see how you'd act." Harry laughed but Ron found nothing funny.

"That's not funny Harry." Ron grumbled. Harry just continued to laugh.

Hahaha! A few of you replied with a "YES IT'S BRILLIANT" and I really appreciate that…it made me laugh! Thank you! R&R please!
