Hogwarts, A Romeo and Juliet Story

Chapter Five: First Day Back

The first day back at Hogwarts was a free day for the seventh years as their timetables had not been processed yet. So once breakfast was over and done with every seventh year student got to go what ever they pleased.

They could go off to Hogsmeade Village, which most of them did including the head boy and girl from both Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw along with Pansy Parkinson, or just lounge around the castle grounds doing what ever they wish. Seamus Finnegan went to the Gryffindor Common Room to meet up with his friends. But Draco Malfoy and Buffy James Dumbledore did not leave the common room were they were both still fast asleep. But mind you it was 9:30 am in the morning.

At ten o’clock Buffy and Draco awoke from their sleep. Buffy looked around her dorm and sighed slightly as she laid her head back down on the pillow. But in the other hand Draco walked out into the common room in just his green silk baggy long pajama pants. Nothing else. He sat down on one of the lounges by the fire and a yawn escaped his lips.

Just then Buffy walked out of her dormitory wearing a pale pink belly cut tank top and a pair of black shorts. She let out a small yawn as she stretched, while she walked down the stairs. She didn’t even notice that Draco was sitting in the common room. She stretched again and this time her shirt rose a little and Draco watched as it did, with a smirk on his face.

“Now this is my kind of way to wake up in the morning” He said as he looked at Buffy, and he stood up and walked over to Buffy, placing his hands on her hips lightly, “Although I think a naked you, in my bed next to me would be much better”

“Never going to happen, Malfoy” Buffy said as she pushed his hands away from her body and stepped back, “Never in your wildest dreams”

“Well maybe not in my dreams, but Blaise told me the things you did to him…” He said with a smirk across her lips and looked her up and down.

“I did nothing with Zabini, Malfoy, and I never will” Buffy said as she looked at him and glared, “I would never touch the pair of you if you were the last men on this earth. I despise you both and would Never touch either of you” she spat.

“Well we’ll shall see about that” Draco said as he looked at Buffy. Then a knock was heard on the portrait and the headmistress walked into the common room and looked at them both, “How can we help you headmistress?”

“I have your timetable” McGonagall said as she looked at them. “I have seen the other and given them theirs now for you two” she said and placed the timetables on the table near her. "So I suggest you both get dress. Your classes begin after lunch” she stated then she left the common room.

“Piss off” Buffy said as she sighed and walked up to the table and picked up her timetable and read over it. Her classes were Potion, Transfiguration, Ancient Runes, Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures and Muggle Studies. Yes she only had nine classes so she had a few free periods.

Buffy sighed as she then she remember what day it was, Monday, and smirked, “Well that is not too bad,” she said then placed her timetable back on the table and walked back up to her dormitory and got changed.

While Buffy was changing, Draco walked over and picked up his timetable off of the table. His classes were Potions, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Charms, Herbology, and Muggle Studies. Why he chose to take Muggle Studies, who knows, Maybe it was a mission to learn up on Muggle things. Or maybe it was just because he wanted to do it. Or maybe it had something to do with the new Muggle Studies teacher…

After lunch was over. All seventh years that had classes left the Great Hall and walked to their class rooms. Where as students who didn’t walked back to their common room until their first class. Not too many seventh year students had classes straight away though so they went back to their common rooms and chilled until their first class.

At three o’clock, Buffy had her first class which was a double Muggle studies class. So she got dresses into a white button up long sleeved shirt, which all the buttons were done up except the very top button and the bottom two buttons. A pleated grey thigh length skirt, white knee high socks, a pair of small heeled lacked back enclosed shoes. And her Gryffindor house tie, which was loosely tied around her neck. Her head girl badge was pinned at the end of her tie, instead of on the collar of her robe. And a floor length black school robe, which had her house emblem on the right chest and barely dragged against the floor. She picked up her shoulder back pack, which had all her books in it, and walked out of the heads common room and down to the firs floor where the Muggle Studies class took place.


When she reached the class she found Hermione Granger and Susan Bones standing outside of the class room talking away so she joined them.

“Hey Buffy how are you?” Hermione asked as she looked at Buffy and smiled.

“Yeah I’m getting there…Yaself?” Buffy asked as she looked at her, “You’re every smiley today Hermione”

“Well I have had a good day,” Hermione said as she looked at Buffy and Susan, “Awesome classes, No Malfoy…” Hermione said but she had spoken too soon. When Hermione mentioned Draco’s name, He along with Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson, Daphne Greengrass, Crabbe and Goyle walked around the corner and towards the class room. “What are they doing here?” Hermione said as she looked at the Slytherins.

“Making out lives a living hell” Buffy said as she looked at the group then back at Hermione and Susan.

“Mmm… Lookin’ good Buffy” said Blaise Zabini. A seventeen year old son of the famously often-married Mrs Zabini, she has been married seven times, and each of her husbands died mysteriously and left her large quantities of gold. Blaise is a pureblood who ahs short brown hair and dreamy brown eyes. Well built and tanned and has a Latin look about him. Which with his Latin charm he could charm any girl off of her feet. “When Malfoy here told me how good you looked…I didn’t believe him.. But now” Blaise said as he placed his arm around Buffy’s waist then smirked at Hermione and Susan.

“And now if you don’t move your arm. I’ll kick you where the sun don’t shine” Buffy smiled sarcastically as she looked at Blaise, who quickly moved his arm as he knows what if feels like to be kicked by Buffy.

Just then Seamus walked up to the class room with fellow Gryffindors Dean Thomas, Neville Longbottom, Ron Weasley and ‘The boy who lived’, Harry Potter. Harry hadn’t changed that much over the break. He had gotten taller and finally had a hair cut. But before the boys could even say hello. The classroom door opened so everyone walked in and took their seats. There had been a rumor going around that there was a new Muggle Studies professor as the last one fled after the attacks last year.

The door closed after everyone had sat down and a tall good-looking man stood up from the desk. He only looked to be about twenty years of age. Nicely built with brown spike hair, that had blonde tips, hazel eyes and he was wearing a pair of jeans, a while taken top which was under a navy blue button up shirt that wasn’t buttoned up. He looked around at the class as he walked to the front of his desk and sat down on it, facing the class. “Good after noon. My name is Professor Tray Wallace. But please call me Tray. None of this Professor or sir business.” He said with a charming smile, “And I will be your Muggle Studies teacher this year.”

“Yummy” Buffy whispered with a smirk to Hermione, who was sitting next to her in the back row.

“Can I help you there Miss Dumbledore?” Professor Wallace asked as he looked at Buffy, smiling as he had over heard what she said.

“Well Sir what I mean was… What is a good looking guy like yourself, who has to be what…20 or something, doing teaching here?” She asked as she lightly arched an eyebrow while she lent back in her chair and crossed her arms.

Tray looked at Buffy and grinned as he gently laughed, “Well thank you Miss Dumbledore” he said as he looked at her then looked at the while class, “And to answer your question. I’m here because I am an ex student myself and I wanted to help out when I heard what happened to Professor Dumbledore.”

“So you thought you’d come and teach Mudblood studies?” Draco smirked as he looked at Tray, Blaise, Crabbe and Goyle all laughed at what Draco had said, “What are you a mudblood yourself? Or just a Muggle Lover?”

“Ah…Mr Malfoy” Tray said as he looked at Draco and laughed. “No I’m not a muggle born. If it is any of your business I am a pure blood. And I caution you to watch what you are saying around your head of house”

“But I thought Professor Slughorn was head of Slytherin house, Professor” Hermione said as she looked at Buffy, who shrugged, and then her eyes turned back to Tray.

“Please call me Tray Miss Granger. And yes he was but that was only temporally and it changed yesterday thanks to the Ministry” Tray said as he looked at Hermione and smiled. “Now. This year I’m going to do something different with this class. Yes we will still be learning the normally history and what not of Muggles. But we are also be doing a play, and performing it at the end of year.” He said as he looked at everyone, who began to whisper to one an other, “It’s a play from a famous muggle play writer and poet. William Shakespeare. And the play is called Romeo and Juliet”

“Wait…Are you serious?” Buffy said as she looked at him, “Romeo and Juliet as in ‘O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?’?

“Impressive Miss Dumbledore. I see you know the play?” Tray asked as he looked at Buffy.

“”Yeah I do” Buffy said as she looked back at him, “But I think you will find that most girls here know of the play and have dreamed of being Juliet and have her Romeo come and sweep her off her feet” she said and most of the girls softly laughed and nodded their heads.

“I see…” Tray said as he looked at them all, “Now then. Everyone will have something to do in the play. From acting to custom and prop making. And don’t worry there will be no tights guys,” Professor Wallace laughed as he pushed himself off of his desk and picked up a pile of books and began to hand them out to everyone. “And today we will be having audition in class for the parts in the play. All of you will select a paragraph t read out aloud in front of the class” He said as he looked down at his watch, “Now we will have a ten minute break so you can go and select your paragraph.” He said and everyone stood up and left with their books in hands, “Mr. Malfoy can I see you for a moment please”.

Draco looked at Tray as he stopped walking then shut the door and turned on his heel and looked at Tray and snarled, “A muggle play Wallace?”

“Get over it Malfoy.” Tray said as he removed his navy blue button up shirt leaving his arms exposed. And on his left forearm was a tattoo. But it wasn’t your normal tattoo. Well actually it wasn’t even a tattoo. It was the Dark Mark, the skull with a snake coming out of the mouth. Yes that’s right. Tray Wallace is a death eater and no one, not even the headmistress, knew. Well except Draco he knew from the get go. “And I would appreciate you NOT calling me a mudblood. I didn’t ask for this class. But Defence Against the Dark Arts was filled by Lupin” he sighed.

“Lupin? Again?” Draco groaned then he ran his fingers through his hair and then crossed his arms, “Well it looks like the girls have taken a shinning to you”

“Yeah… But I can’t help if I’m good looking” Tray smirked then laughed as he shook his head, “So what part are you going to read?” He asked Draco as he crossed hi arms and looked at him.

“I don’t know...” Draco said as he lightly snapped, “Do you really expect me to do this play?”

“YES!” Tray slightly yelled, “The dark lord has ordered me to make sure you get a part in this play. And I’m going to do it fairly. So go and pick a part. NOW!”

Five minutes after Draco left the classroom. The class walked back into the classroom and the desk had been put into a circle and everyone sat down on the tables. Tray still had his button up shirt off but he had a large wrist band covering the dark mark. He looked at the class and one by one he picked people to read. Some were good and some here bad. And some were just, surprisingly, brilliant. Buffy had gone first as she had to leave to talk to the headmistress so she didn’t get to hear anyone else try out. Once everyone had gone, Tray dismissed the class and told them that the play list would be posted next Tuesday in all the common rooms.
