A/N: I don't own beauty and the beast or harry potter, but both are fantastic movies. I just got the idea while watching beauty and the beast. It's not exactly like the movie, I just used the song titles as my chapter titles. Anyway, I haven't posted a story in forever, and got the idea. Please review!
Prologue-
Once upon a time,
In a far away land,
A young prince lived in a shining castle,
Although he had everything his heart desired
The prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind.
But then, one winters night,
An old beggar woman came to the castle
And offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold
Repulsed by her haggard appearance
The prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away
But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances
For beauty is found within
And when he dismissed her again
The old womans ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress
The prince tried to apologize
But it was too late.
For she had seen that there was no love in his heart
And as punishment she transformed him into a hideous beast
And placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there.
Ashamed of his monstrous form
The beast concealed himself inside his castle
With a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world.
The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose
Which would bloom until his 21st year
If he could learn to love another
And earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell
Then the spell would be broken
If not, he would be doomed for all time.
As the years passed he fell into despair and lost all hope.
For who could ever learn to love a beast?
-Beauty and the Beast.
Notes:
Draco is the beast in this story, and he is not physically deformed, My story line is that when the last petal falls, he will die if he cannot learn to love, and earn her love.
