Tom pointed his wand at Belle, eyes cold. "It's simple, I become the new Dark One." He stated mercilessly. Belle felt her heart sunk at the implication at his words. Her blue eyes narrowed. "There is no way you can do that." She snarled. He gave her an unfriendly smile. "I am known as the Dark Lord, no one will be able to stop me."

1. Prologue

Alas I've come with a very intriguing idea that I'm sure will have you all entertained. This is my first attempt at this cross-over. Note that this will have heavy based AU but I'll keep the characters in character. Do send your thoughts on the review section. Once Upon a Time & Harry Potter don't belong to me. Warning: Rated M.

Prologue

Tom Marvolo Riddle tossed another book to the side, anger seeping through his veins. There had to be something useful to assist in his plans. He surveyed the many books scattered around his room, most from the restricted section. A frown bared his features, as he noticed a thick dark brown tome with flared edges. Once Upon A Time. Grabbing the book, he sneered as he flipped through the worn out pages. "Just my luck, a children's book." He scoffed, disdainfully. Noticing all the fairy tale characters, such as Snow White & the Evil Queen. As Tom continued to turn the pages, a jolting thought crossed his mind. Why would this be in the restricted section?

Humming with curiosity, another page was turned. A man like creature was presented, leather clad and glittering dark skin with unnatural amber eyes. Tom found himself nearly rolling his eyes. "The Dark One, not very clever." He muttered, finally shutting the book.

A high pitched giggle drew his attention, alerting him instantly, wand drawn. Tom moved closer toward the mirror located on the opposite side of the room. His grey eyes widen at the sight before him. There standing in all their glory was The Dark One, appearing to please with the turn of events. "Actually I never came up with the title, more like it was dark given gift. However, you may call me, Rumplestiltskin." He gave a mocking bow, causing Tom to rise his eyebrow.

"Well then-"Tom began but was cut off by the flick of The Dark One's hand. His expression calculating with dry amusement.

"Tom Marvolo Riddle, ah yes. I know all about you, dearie." He spoke with a click of his tongue. Tom frowned. So that meant he knew of his transgression. As if reading the younger man thoughts, Rumplestiltskin smirked. "Now, I imagine killing that poor girl won't go over well with your professors." He mocked.

The young man glared at the fiend. "If you know what's best for you, a word wouldn't be mention." Tom bit out scathingly. His wand pointed at the mirror, causing Rumplestiltskin to laugh.

"Now dearie, you should know better than to threaten your superiors. Besides if you paid more attention to the book, you would know that I can't be killed. Another, I am what you call a businessman in making deals. Thirdly, I know all." Rumplestiltskin pointed out, eyeing the book. Tom tilted his head, intrigued. Definitely not a children's book.

Perhaps he could work this into his plan. Tom gave him a charming smile. "A deal maker, just what I need." He voiced softly. Rumplestiltskin made a high pitched giggle. His amber eyes lit, dangerous aura flared out.

"Yes, dearie. Remember, all magic comes with a price." He stated coldly at the younger man. Tom knew that he wouldn't let this chance get away. Why else would the book appear in the restricted section? A deal with The Dark One, don't mind if I do.
