There for it will be a few chapters yet before I get to the actual rehearsals of said play and the romance between Severus and Harry becomes into light.

PLEASE ENJOY I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR REVIEWS.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Harry walked through the halls of the castle heading toward the Headmasters office, talking to the portraits as he went by, informing them of what was possible to happen within the next couple of days and they all thought it would be a glorious occasion to have happen since it had been a long time coming.

So with a happy and full heart Harry headed to the griffin, speaking the password and heading on up waiting for the headmaster to finish his breakfast in the Great Hall so he spoke with the other Headmaster and Fawkes.

"Ah Harry good to see you here so early." Dumbledore said has he entered 15 minutes later.

"I though we could get a head start headmaster and have it all complete by this at least lunch time." Harry replied, "I have the list also." He said pulling a roll of parchment from his robes.

"Good, good." Dumbledore said moving over to his chair and sitting down, getting himself comfortable.

"I've put a person to each of the characters except Romeo and Juliet, I thought that we could do it that way instead of having some one try out for parts and not getting them." Harry explained handing the headmaster the parchment.

Dumbledore looked over the parchment, the twinkle in his eyes becoming brighter with each passing moment.

"I thought that you would have put Professor Snape as one of these."

"And risk him taking off my head, no thanks." Harry replied with a smile as the headmaster went back to reading the roll of parchment.

"Well this all seems suitable enough. So why don't you let me handle Romeo and Juliet and the book of the play and you can read out the list and lunch instead of dinner since you are througher in your research." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Thank you Headmaster. Should I come up before the start of lunch to get the parchment?" Harry asked as he stood.

"Alright Harry I'll see you ten minutes before lunch and we'll go down together and I'll make the announcement and then you can read the list. Hopefully every one mentioned will take their position." Dumbledore said leaning back, his fingers steepled together.

"But Harry, why aren't you on the list?" he asked.

Harry looked at the Headmaster and blushed, "For once headmaster I would like to be behind the scenes, not in or on front of them." Harry explained.

"I understand Harry, go and enjoy your day and I will see you here for lunch." Dumbledore said with a smile watching the young boy leave.

'That boy.' He thought fondly as he picked up the parchment and read it through once more and then going through the school registry of teachers and students that he could have play Romeo and Juliet, a pair of star crossed lovers.

'Well there is still Severus, I could bribe him into playing Romeo that won't be a problem at all. But finding some one to play Juliet.' That is where the problem is, he needed some one innocent and shy enough to play Juliet, someone with an open heart, be it a male or a female.

Suddenly a thought struck Dumbledore, one that cannot be denied by Severus since Severus had feelings for the one that was going to be casted as Juliet, a true love may bloom form the relationship in stage to the eminity of real life.

'It's a long shot but it could work. Both will be unhappy with the arrangement but it has to be done. For the sake of their souls and for the sake of the wizarding world.' Dumbledore thought with a sigh as he wrote down the names of Romeo and Juliet on a separate piece of parchment.

^^^^^^

Harry walked out onto the grounds of Hogwarts, his cloak billowing in the wind as he walked across the grounds to the gamekeepers hut.

Knocking on the door, Harry awaited for the usual barking and heavy footsteps of his giant friend.

However, nothing was heard, not even a whine from Fang, 'I guess he's in the forest.' He thought with a sigh as he headed back for the main part of the castle.

"Harry." Hermione and Ron called out from the midst of the students that were in the hallways.

Harry stopped and turned waiting for his two friends to catch up with him, "What's the rush guys?" he asked as they continued walking together.

"What happened in the Headmasters office?" Hermione asked as soon as they set an expectable pace to ward the rotating stairs.

"Can't say 'Mione. You find out at lunch instead of dinner and no it has nothing to do with Voldemort." Harry explained as both of his friends flinched.

"Come on Harry, we're your best friends, why won't you tell us?" Ron asked, his temper starting to show through.

"Don't you dare get angry at me Ronald Weasley," Harry snapped, "Just because I won't tell you something doesn't mean I'm hiding anything. Just remember who keeps secrets from who around here."

Ron and Hermione visibly paled at the words that Harry had spoken.

^^^^^^

In the summer before their 5th year when Hermione spent the summer over at Rons before Harry was collected, Ron had asked Hermione to be his girlfriend to which she had said yes as long as Harry didn't find out any time soon, but preferably not at all.

It was nearly at the end of 5th year when Harry had found out that they were going out.

Harry was depressed, Sirius Black his Godfather was injured severely and they were not sure if he would awake from his coma that was induced by Bellatrix Lestrange, his way ward and Death Eater cousin, so he headed up to his dorm room to take a well deserved nap. (A.N: I refuse to have him dead. I like him too much.)

However, upon entering he got one hell of a shock. There lying on Rons bed was Ron and Hermione snogging like there was no tomorrow with him half lying on top of her.

Things did not go well from then on, did not go well at all, he didn't talk to them for the last remaining days of school, spending all of his time with Sirius willing him to awaken so that they could talk once more.

It was only two weeks ago that Harry had given them a trial in their friendship, things had been going well.

Until now.

^^^^^^

Ron looked apologetic at Harry, "Sorry mate. Didn't mean to make you angry we just want to know what you're up to that's all."

"Look can't you guys just trust me. It's nothing dangerous especially since 'I' went to Dumbledore about this. It's just something to liven up Hogwarts, take everyone's minds off of Voldemort." Harry said, "And stop flinching when I say Voldemort."

"Sorry Harry but it's kinda hard not to." Hermione replied.

"I don't really understand why you would be flinching in the first place 'Mione, you are Muggle Born but ever since you've started here you flinch every time. I just don't get it."

"Look Harry, with everything we've been through it's kinda hard NOT to flinch every time you say HIS name." Hermione hissed.

"Well with everything I have been through I should be the one who should be too afraid to say his name but I'm not. I'm just going to be another dead body." Harry snapped back, his words becoming hisses like a snake.

Ron and Hermione stepped back by reflex not liking the way Harry had spoken to them, sounding like HIM, but not knowing what HE sounded like they came to their own conclusions.

"What's gotten into you Harry?" Hermione asked quietly approaching him like a wild animal Ron following her example.

Harry glared at his two 'friends', "Don't you dare treat me like a wild animal."

"Well with the way you're acting Harry it's pretty hard not to." Ron murmured.

"Remember Ron, this is a 'trial' friendship at the moment and if you can't get over the fact that I don't have to tell you everything. When I tell you everything you keep EVERYTHING from me." Harry replied as he pivoted away and continued onto the Gryffindor common room.

Hermione watched as Harry walked away a light sheen of tears began in her eyes as she turned to Ron, "What did we do to lose him Ron?" she asked.

"We didn't do anything Hermione." Ron sighed putting an arm around her shoulders.

"Yes we did Ron otherwise this wouldn't have happened." Hermione sobbed.

"Well then, what did we do wrong 'Mione, tell me what we did."

Hermione took a deep breath before answering, "We kept our relationship from him, we kept everything that happened that summer from him, we should have told him as soon as he arrived at Sirius' place."

"You're the one that didn't want him to know Hermione, I told you it wouldn't be a good idea but you proved to me I was wrong. So I followed you and kept it secret." Ron replied with a light snap, "Why don't you just go to the library and finish your homework and I'll try and talk to him." Ron sighed and started in the direction Harry went to.
