Author's Notes:

This story was inspired by William Shakespeare's comedy 'Much Ado About Nothing'.
It is a Potterverse version of Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing'. Some of the speeches may seem extremely familiar (including one which is Shakespearean, but does not come from this play - sing out if you spot it). And some scenes are completely new.
The slash warning is for m/m pairings and intimacy. The het warning is for a background pairing only.
This story was written after I read OotP and visited the Globe Theatre in London where I saw an all-female performance of Much Ado About Nothing.
Completed January 2005.

Prologue

Our story opens, this fair night, at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, on the eve of the Mid-Summer festivities. Our fair hero and heroine have returned to the castle to celebrate with fellow members of the Order of the Phoenix.

It was the time of a great war: good versus evil: the virtuous and noble versus the wicked and corrupt. Hogwarts School was one of the last Order strongholds left in the Isles. The 1979 summer holidays had just begun. Frightened children had been sent home to face the holidays (and Death Eater attacks) by themselves. In their absence, Hogwarts' doors had been thrown open (figuratively, not literally) to exhausted Order Members so that they could regroup and recover from their battles.

But, back to our heroes: Severus Snape and Lily Evans. A 'pure-blood' and a 'mud-blood'. Our tale opens three days after our heroes have returned to Hogwarts. After graduating two years earlier, both enrolled in a Potions Apprenticeship program run by the Ministry, and (as a result of Albus Dumbledore's tampering) both students had been designated to study under Nero Wilkes, a well known and respected Potions Master. Unknown to the public, however, was Wilkes' obsession with the Dark Arts and subsequent loyalty to the Dark Lord. It was due to one of his� commitments that Lily and Severus had been given a month's holiday. A holiday they intend to begin with a bang � at the annual Hogsmeade Masked Mid-Summer Ball.
