Disclaimer: Harry Potter is not our own. Neither is Romeo and Juliet. One belongs to JK Rowling, and the other to Shakespeare. If you don't know which is which, is suggest you go and buy yourself a brain.

Chapter twenty-eight

A/N Sorry guys, but this is another shorty. The reason being that the next one is rather long. The next chapter is Britty-Bum's bit with Romeo and Juliet. Apologies in advance to Shakespeare haters (I am one myself) but I don't control Britty-Bum's pen. Anyway, it's hilarious. Now, on with the chapter. . .

"Ok, first thing to do is auditions," Lily muttered (Sploogal: Argh!) as she looked at a list. "First is Amos Diggory as Romeo."

Amos stepped forward and she gave him his lines. "And Severus Snape as Mercutio," she continued, and gave Snape his lines.

Amos: Good morrow to you both. What counterfeit did I give you? Snape: The slip sir, the slip."

They continued until Lily asked them to stop. "Thankyou, you both did really well."

"Next. . . Great Merlin! James Potter as Romeo, and Sirius Black as Mercutio!"

They're pretty good, thought Lily as James and Sirius went through their lines. Then again, neither of them do anything but act most of the time!

"Ok, that'll do," Called Lily. "Now for Juliet's nurse, Leanne Macintine, and Helga Prewitt." Lily groaned inwardly at this.

Helga: Aye aye the cords. Leanne: Ay me, what news? Why dost thou wring thy hand? Helga: Ay wereday, he is dead! He is dead! We are undone lady, we are undone.

The auditions continued for another hour before concluding.

"Thankyou all for taking the time to try out for this. I will post the cast list on the school notice board once it has been finalised."

**Later**

"Oh man! How am I supposed to choose who gets what part?" Sighed Lily.

"Well, I was watching, and personally, I thought that the best actors were James, Sirius, and Snape," Yvonne stated. "Romeo and Mercutio were best friends, and Tybalt was their enemy. Need I say more?" "Helga Prewitt did well, and, as much as we all hate to admit it, Leanne was also pretty good." Remus suggested, almost timidly, as if expecting an outburst of some kind.

Lily giggled. "James will hate us for this! I guess it's a good revenge, though."

Lily wrote out the list: Romeo - James Potter Juliet - Leanne Macintine Tybalt - Severus Snape Mercutio - Sirius Black Nurse - Stephanie Black Lady Capulet - Paula Serinale Capulet - Amos Diggory Balthasar - Sean Black Lady Montague - Helga Prewitt Friar Laurence - Remus Lupin
