❛ Her beauty put the stars to shame, but her essence, her character, her heart and soul burned brighter than a supernova. When she gave me that mischievous smile that clearly told me she saw right through me, I felt myself floating, but then he put his arm around her waist and I fell hard to the floor. Junia wasn't mine, she never would be. My heart would long for her for as long as I breathed.

Being in her presence would have to be enough for now. ❜ ━━━━━━━━ Portia Capulet

❛ We had always felt ourselves immortal. We had died so often on stage, a character that we had become, a character that was a part of us, dead, gone, over and over again. Yet we remained, powerful, victorious and gloriously alive. To witness this, to see one of our own, the strongest from our bunch, lifeless, cold, helpless, it was a shock.

With this knowledge weighing heavily on my shoulders I stepped into the water to retrieve the body in a stupor. ❜ ━━━━━━━━ Portia Capulet

THE ROLES HAVE SHIFTED, things have changed. What has been set in stone doesn't seem all that set anymore. Professor Flitwick has switched up the roles and suddenly Portia Capulet finds herself as the heroine instead of the sidekick, Thomas is the fool no more but instead cast as the protagonist. Everyone is playing a different role all of sudden and tensions arise when jealousy and pride get in the way of their annual plays.

⠀

AS SOON AS FEELINGS ARE INVOLVED, things get messy. The troupe is thrown into an emotional turmoil after getting ripped away from what they know. Things get worse when the first play of the year is announced, Romeo & Juliet -- Jealousy spreads throughout the group and things escalate in the form of a murder. One of the talented, bright students has been killed after a party in the woods. Now Portia, who might've drunken a little too much, has to find out whether she killed her friend or if one of the other thespians has done the unspeakable.

❛ hello, i'm maddie and this is my first attempt at a murder mystery. i'm so excited for this little fic! i'm hoping i can pull this off, since i have pretty much everything outlined already.

i've always wanted to write a murder mystery, but it's so hard for what?? so i decided to make this easier for myself and to slowly work my way up to writing my completely original murder mysteries at some point by having this set in the hp world & to take inspo from a certain book (mentioned in the disclaimer)

i hope you're looking forward to my dramatic, emotional and deceitful theatre kids!

coming up with the strawberry handkerchief troupe was actually so much fun <3 so enjoy haha ❜ ━━━ note from the author

꒦꒷ * ₊ ･ ⌲ DISCLAIMERS & TRIGGER WARNINGS... ♖ ?!

⠀

THE LIST OF TRIGGERS IS LONG, for this is a murder mystery. triggers include murder, betrayal, r/pe, s/a, blackmail, dr/wn/ng, anxiety, mental disorders, ptsd, death, violence and i think that's all i can remember right now. this is a dark story, but i'm not planning on describing things in great detail. THE DISCLAIMER IS MUCH SHORTER, because while i do not own the harry potter world (credits to dobby, the #1 fanfic writer) the plot of this and the characters are mine, since i will only mention canon marauders era characters briefly. this is also INSPIRED by if we were villains, a great book which you should check out. however even if you've read the book i doubt that you'll be able to figure everything out, since i'm keeping this as original as possible!
