A/N: Reviews! Yay!
ADepressedSpooty: I would've liked Juliet to be Hermione, too, but unfortunately it works out better for it to be Ginny. By the way, what's a "spooty"?
Hedwigmail: He knows she's in Gryffindor and that she's a Weasley, blah, blah, blah, but we just have to pretend that he's all nice in this story and just loves her for her. :) :sigh: I love this story (the actual play, not my version).
Lei454: Nice name ;) The 000000s are separators because nothing else shows up, and I changed it so it makes a tad more sense as to how he knows the password. My bad.
It's going to be harder to make this chapter a lot like the play because they're not going to ask someone to marry them because they're only like 17 and 16, and obviously there's no Friar at Hogwarts (besides a ghost one) so if this chapter's a bit off from the actual play, please don't get mad :) Also, Snape is going to be acting a little OOC- then again, everyone's pretty OOC…
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except for this version of putting the two stories together.

Draco enters the Slytherin common room so happily that he's practically skipping along. Snape, who has returned early from the dance, spots him and questions why he is so excited.
Snape: What's given you such a drastic mood swing?
Draco: Love.
Snape: Love? Don't tell me it's that stupid Pansy still...
Draco shakes his head.
Draco (slightly hesitant): No, it's someone else. It's... Ginny.
Snape (surprised): Ginny Weasley? From Gryffindor?
Draco nods slowly, worried that telling his trustworthy teacher about his newfound romance might not have been the best decision.
Snape: But she's a Gryffindor!
Draco: I know, but I love her.
Snape (somewhat reluctantly): If you love her... Well, maybe it'll finally create some peace between these two houses.
Draco smiles before running upstairs to his room. Who knew that one girl could change the way he had been feeling for weeks so much?

The next day, Crabbe and Goyle are outside on the grounds discussing Ron and their hatred for him.
Crabbe: And he fights so properly! He's always doing things as though they are proper duels, rather than just a silly brawl between two houses.
Goyle: Honestly, what is that? If we're just playing around outside trying to kill each other, no one's going to expect it to be all formal and obnoxious like that.
Suddenly Draco steps outside of the castle and joins his friends in their jokes under the trees.
Draco (very happily): Hey!
Crabbe: Draco! What's up?
Goyle: Why'd you disappear so quickly from that dance last night?
Draco shrugs.
Crabbe: Did you run off with Pansy? (Turns to Goyle) I bet he ran off with Pansy.
Draco makes a face at the two as they start laughing insanely.
Goyle: So how was it? Worth the wait?
Crabbe: What was it like? Is she really as great as everyone says she is?
Draco: Shut up. I did not run off with Pansy.
Crabbe: He's denying it, it must have been pretty bad.
Draco rolls his eyes at the two. But they soon stop as someone else catches their eyes. Hermione is standing atop the steps in front of the school. She scans the area, and when her eyes rest upon Draco, she begins to descend the steps.
Crabbe: Oh, it was her, then. She looks like she might be nice.
Goyle: Real nice. Do you want to hand her over for the night?
Draco: Shut up.
When Hermione reaches the bottom of the stone steps, she beckons him forward.
Crabbe and Goyle: Ooooooh.
Crabbe: Somebody's mad.
Draco ignores their jests as he makes his way through the grass to Hermione.
Hermione: Don't do anything to her.
Draco: Excuse me?
Hermione: Let me rephrase that, if you do anything to hurt or mislead her, I will hurt you. Badly. Do not deceive her.
Draco (swallowing): I won't... I love her.
Hermione: Good.
Draco: Remind her to meet me in the Room of Requirement at eight-o-clock.
Hermione nods before turning on her heel and marching back up the steps.

Ginny sits impatiently on her bed as she awaits Hermione's return anxiously. She gets up and starts to pace around the room, thinking wild thoughts as to why she's not there. Suddenly, her friend enters.
Ginny (practically pouncing on Hermione): Hermione! Where have you been? What took you so long?
Hermione sits down wearily on Ginny's bed.
Hermione (a hand on her forehead): I'm exhausted. Peeves was on a roll today and he ended up wherever I was, so I ended up going way out of my way to get up here and running around the whole school in the process.
Ginny: Well what did Draco say?
Hermione: Wait a moment; I'm out of breath.
Ginny: How are you out of breath when you have breath to tell me you're out of breath!
Hermione: Shut up.
Ginny: Well, is the news good or bad? Tell me that.
Hermione doesn't respond. She stays panting on Ginny's bed.
Ginny: Come on! Is the news good or bad. Just tell me that.
She pouts in Hermione's face, hoping to make her speak.
Hermione: Go to the Room of Requirement at eight-o-clock tonight. You're lucky; he really loves you.
Ginny throws her arms around her friend giddily.
Ginny: Thank you so much! I'm so happy.
They laugh and Ginny continues to squeeze her friend so hard that she practically loses the ability to breath.

A/N: A little weird and cheesy, but whatever. I'm just trying to get to the killings already!
