"Once upon a time, in a tower far, far away, there lived a Princess named Dracopunzel. She was-"

"Really, I have to be the princess?" Draco pouted.

Harry looked pointedly at James and Scorpius, who were tucked into bed, their green eyes shining in the soft light of the lamp.

Draco sighed. "Oh, fine. Get on with it then. But tomorrow they'll be hearing a story about the little mermaid named Harry."

Harry rolled his eyes. "Anyway. Dracopunzel was very, very beautiful. But no one knew that except for her mother, who had locked her up in the tower so Dracopunzel would be all hers."

"That wasn't nice of her," James said.

"Nuh-uh. If Mummy locked me up in a tower I would think he was mean," Scorpius said.

"Well, I wouldn't want that to happen. I'll never lock you up in a tower, okay?" Draco said, stroking his son's hair.

"Okay," Scorpius said.

"So, what happened to Dracopunzel?" James said impatiently.

Harry cleared his throat and continued, "Every day, Dracopunzel's mother would yell up to her, 'Dracopunzel, Dracopunzel, let down your hair!' And Dracopunzel would hang her hair on a hook and let it hang out of the window of the tower. Because Dracopunzel had never gotten her hair cut, it was very, very long, and it hung all the way from the window of the tower to the ground."

"Wow. Mummy, can I grow my hair that long?" Scorpius asked.

Draco smiled. "I don't think so, baby. If you grew your hair out, you might end up looking like your Grandpa Lucius."

Scorpius's eyes widened. "Never mind."

"But Dracopunzel got tired of being locked up in the tower all the time, and she asked her mother if she could go out. But Dracopunzel's mum got very angry when she asked, and forbade her from ever requesting it again.

One day, Dracopunzel was looking out the window, wishing she could go outside, when a handsome prince rode up. He had a white horse, and thought that Dracopunzel was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen."

"What was his name?" James asked.

"I'm getting to that," Harry said. "His name was Harry, and he knew from the moment he saw her that Dracopunzel was the girl he wanted to marry. But Dracopunzel's mom was returning home, so he hid in the woods by her tower."

"Like a stalker," Draco helpfully provided.

"Exactly. Like a stalker," Harry continued, "He-"

"What's a stalker?" Scorpius interrupted.

"It's someone who waits outside your house and watches you sleep," Draco said.

Scorpius's face pinched up, "But-"

"Baby, I'll explain what a stalker is in the morning. How about we finish this story, okay?" Harry said.

Scorpius nodded.

"So Prince Harry saw Dracopunzel's mother say 'Dracopunzel, Dracopunzel, let down your hair!' and he thought he would try it the next day when Dracopunzel's mother left again. He slept in a tree and when he woke up, he saw Dracopunzel's mum sliding down her hair and walking out of the forest. He waited for a very long time, until Dracopunzel was sitting in the window. Then he climbed out of the tree, and went up to the tower and yelled, 'Dracopunzel, Dracopunzel, let down your hair!' Dracopunzel wasn't sure whether she would let this strange man into her tower, but he was so handsome that she just couldn't resist his devilish good looks."

"Yes, because good looks means scruffy hair, broken glasses, and baggy clothes," Draco snorted.

Harry looked offended. "Hey, you married me, didn't you?"

"True enough. Continue." Draco waved a hand imperiously.

"Prince Harry climbed up Dracopunzel's hair and into her tower. Immediately, he got on one knee and asked her to marry him. Dracopunzel was very flattered, but she couldn't marry a man she had just met, she had to get to know him first. So they talked all day, until it was almost time for Dracopunzel's mother to get home. Prince Harry asked Dracopunzel to run away with him, but Dracopunzel wasn't sure about leaving her mother. So Harry told her to think about it, and climbed down her hair and ran into the woods just as Dracopunzel's mother got home. All throughout the night, Dracopunzel thought long and hard about what Prince Harry said. And when Dracopunzel's mother left the next day, Dracopunzel made up her mind."

"What was it, what was it?" Scorpius squealed as James snored next to him.

Harry grinned. "Well, when Prince Harry climbed up her hair the next day, and asked Dracopunzel what her answer was, do you know what she said?"

"No! Tell me! Tell me!"

"She said yes!"

"Yay!" Scorpius yelled, startling James from his slumber.

"Shut up, Scor. It's a stupid princess story."

Scorpius looked at his twin brother, then sighed and rolled his eyes. "Continue with the story."

"So, Dracopunzel and Prince Harry climbed out of the tower and ran away together into the woods. They ran and ran until they got to the kingdom that Harry was the prince of. He told everyone that he had decided to make Dracopunzel his wife, and they were all very pleased, because Dracopunzel was a very pretty girl. So they got married and lived happily ever after," Harry finished.

Scorpius had a wide grin on his face.

"Did you like that one?" Harry asked.

Scorpius nodded furiously. "I liked it a lot better than the one about the Vikings."

James protested sleepily, "Hey, I liked that one."

Draco stood. "Yes, yes, they were all excellent. Now it's time to go to sleep."

"G'night Mummy. G'night Daddy," Scorpius said sweetly.

"Night Baby."

"Goodnight Darling."

Harry shut off the light and shut the door. "So, Dracopunzel, shall I take you to our marital bed?"

Draco rolled his eyes. "As long as you promise not to call me Dracopunzel in the middle of it, or demand I call you Prince Harry. Also, we need to use Silencing Charms."

Harry scooped up Draco and skipped lightly over to their room. He set Draco on the bed, cast the charms, and was about to kiss Draco when Draco said, "Oh and I am not explaining to Scorpius what a stalker is."


Author's Note- I just had this idea after seeing that one picture of Lucius's bedtime stories for Draco. It kind of evolved into this... thing. I'm not sure how many chapters there will be. If you have any fairy tails you'd like to see me Potter-ify, just tell me in a review.

Speaking of reviews, I'd like it if you wrote me one :)
