Story one: Sleeping Beauty
Once upon a time, in a far away land there was a king and queen who longed to have a little girl. The king and queen already had two sons, Prince James and Prince Albus and they were great but they were getting older and soon, King Harry would have to kick them out the castle. One day, Queen Ginny found out that she was indeed with child and the whole kingdom rejoiced for nine whole months. Then in spring, Queen Ginny had a baby girl. On this beautiful day, King Harry had rounded up all the guests to celebrate his daughter's birth. He even went as far as inviting the king from the neighboring kingdom.
In his kingdom, King Draco looked over the invitation that he had received from King Harry and gathered up his wife and only son, Prince Scorpius. They made haste to the castle and after being greeted by the King and Queen, had discussed that the two children would one day marry. Prince Scorpius was not happy and looked at his parents as if they had taken crack. Him marry a baby? Ewwww!
While in the midst of all the celebrating, King Harry waited for the arrival of the three good wizards (I was not going to do fairies on this one so forget it!) who arrived in threstial drawn carriages. They were Sir Godric Gryffindor, Sir Salazar Slytherin and Sir Albus Dumbledore. Each wizard had a gift for the new princess.
Godric's gift was the gift of beauty. She would be beautiful beyond compare and that she would be loved by all. She would have elegance and grace. Her hair would shame all flames and jewels and her lips would shame those of a red rose Sir Salazar's gift was the gift of song. She would have a voice that would enchant those who listen and as a bonus, he made sure she had a brain! He couldn't stand it when children were as dumb as doorknobs or couldn't stand for themselves! Before Sir Dumbledore could give his gift, there was a great trouble. The winds banged the doors, the lightening struck and there before them was the dark wizard Lucius. He did not look pleased.
"Well, this is a pleasant get together King Harry," He said, his silver eyes glittering with hatred. "Royalty, nobility, the gentry…and how quaint," He turned to the three wizards. "Even the rebels…" Godric growled and tried to lunge for the blond but was held back by the other two. "I could understand that some page had lost my invitation…"
"You weren't wanted!" Godric snarled.
"Not want….oh…dear, what an awkward situation. I had thought it was merely to oversight. Well, I guess I should be on my way…"
"And you are not offended Your Excellency?" Ginny asked. Lucius smirked then turned to her.
"Why no your Majesty, and to show that I bear no ill will, I too, have a gift for the child." The three wizards took a stance, ready for anything.
"Listen well, all of you. The princess shall indeed, grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who know her. But, on the eve of her sixteenth birthday, she shall prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die!" The queen grabbed her daughter and sobbed while Lucius laughed. The King was fuming and ordered Lucius to be seized. Lucius laughed and disappeared. The King and Queen looked sad but Sir Salazar remembered something.
"Do not fret your majesties," He said. "Sir Albus still has his gift to give."
"And will it free her from this terrible curse?" The King asked, looking a bit hopeful.
"No Sire," Sir Dumbledore said.
"Lucius' dark power is far too great."
"But he can help."
"But…."
"Go on, just try." The other two hissed. Dumbledore raised his and knew what to do.
"Sweet Princess, in counter of this wicked wizard's trick, there will be a slight hope yet, the gift I give to be. Not in death, but just in sleep. And with true love's kiss, the spell shall break."
Although Sir Dumbledore's gift had cushioned the blow of Lucius' curse, it still unnerved the King. He ordered the spinning wheels in the kingdom to either be burned or hidden so his daughter would not be exposed to them. The three wizards in the meantime, had a plan, that they would take the little princess and raise her themselves. They took her in the middle of the night, with the King and Queen's permission and were gone.
In the course of sixteen years, the King and Queen, as well as the kingdom mourned the 'loss' of their princess and Lucius was fuming. The goody to shoes took the princess and although he and his minions had swept the kingdoms with a fine toothed comb, he couldn't find the brat. He cursed his minions for their failure and sent his pet crow, Voldie to search out the princess. Failure was not an option.
In a cottage, with briars and rose, was a young woman who was happily tending to the house while her guardians were working on a surprise. They were looking at what dress to make her. When she was coming down the stairs, Lily cleared her throat, causing her guardians to start. They denied that they were up to something and sent her out to pick berries. They had no idea that destiny would come forth.
Prince Scorpius was out riding, needing to get fresh air and to escape from the castle. His mother was driving him bananas, telling him that maybe it was time to seek out another bride. King Draco glared at his wife for her folly and told his son to take the ride, which he was grateful for. He rode without direction and when he came near Lily's cottage, he felt at home. It was calming to his nerves and beautiful to his eyes. There was a majestic view of the Potter's castle and kingdom and a glade. Then, as he rode a bit into it, he heard the most beautiful voice. Of course, exciting the horse wasn't his brightest idea and he fell into a lake. As he was removing his boots and cloak, he tried to pinpoint what was the voice's origin. At first he had thought it was fairies or something but when his boots and cloak were snitched by small animals and birds, he ran after them.
He stopped still when he saw the animals playing around with a beautiful woman. Her hair was deep blood red, her eyes were emerald green and her beauty knocked him on his arse. He waited until the young woman's back was turned, grabbed his cloak, bringing the animals to the side and took their place. The woman looked at him and blushed. He calmed her down and they talked for a bit. It was love at first sight for them. When he asked her what her name was she snapped to, saying that she had to go but to meet her at her cottage in the glen. As she left, he kicked himself for not getting her name!
In the midst of all the magic of romance, the three wizards were having a bit of a fight with the arrangements. To ensure that they would not be discovered, the wizards had agreed to not use magic. However, since this was their Lily's sixteenth and last birthday with them, they had made an exception. Out of all of them, it was Salazar who had adapted to doing things the 'muggle way'. Godric and Dumbledore wanted to do the dress and cake for their little Lily. It was their last birthday with the child but Salazar was reluctant to give up the chores. Out of all the wizards, Lily was closest to Salazar and the other wizards accepted that. However, when he was doing nothing, other than being a dummy for Godric's hideous creation, it pissed Salazar to high heaven. However, when they had their wands back, Salazar was assigned cleaning duties. Godric, with a wave of his wand created a beautiful dress with red and gold but Salazar had other ideas. He waved his wand and turned the dress green with silver. Godric glared at the other man and turned it back. Then it broke loose. Albus was oblivious to the fighting or else he would have seen the magic sparks go up the chimney and be spotted by a certain crow. The crow flew in just in time for the princess' name to be revealed.
"Princess Lily, and tonight we are taking you to see your father, King Harry."
"But…but I can't, he's coming here tonight, I promised to meet him."
"I'm sorry my little love, but you can never see that young man again." Salazar's heart broke as he said this. His little one looked so happy that she had found the man for her but he remembered that she was betrothed to another. This sucks! Lily cried and ran up to her room.
Meanwhile at the castle, King Draco was outside when he heard the announcement of his son was made. Scorpius went to his father, with a smile on his face and he told him that he found the woman he was going to marry. Draco was ecstatic, believing that Lily had been found. When Scorpius told him that she had no social standing, Draco thought he would have a heart attack. He looked at his son as if he was on some serious crack! Wow, that's some strong shit! Wish he'd give me some! He was about to voice his opinion but all that came was that he was a prince and he was to marry a princess. His son chided him and told him that times had changed and that he should marry the girl he loved. He heard his father call out as he rode away, excited to meet his lady love again. Draco blinked and sat down. I'm fucked…
Lily and her guardians made their way back to the castle and to her room. Lily was still unhappy but she knew that she couldn't say anything. Like her father, she was a victim of fate, a pawn to use towards others' ends. She felt her heart break all over again as she thought of the handsome blond haired, gray eyed stranger who stole her heart in the woods. For the first time, Lily felt free with this man, felt that she could endure anything. And now, due to who she was, it was stolen away. She felt empty and although her guardians tried to comfort her, she wasn't having it. All she wanted was her love back. When they had left, to give her some privacy, a wicked green light caught her attention. It was as if her body was no longer in her control. The light led her up to a high tower and manifested into a sleek black spinning wheel. She heard her guardians warning her not to touch anything, snapping her out of the trance for a moment but a cold, commanding voice told her to touch, which she did!
"You pitiful fools!" Lucius said. "Think you can defeat me….me the Master of all Evil! Well, here is your precious princess." He pulled back his cloak, revealing the fallen Lily and disappeared, laughing in triumph. The guardians cried but put her to bed. Afterwards, they put the kingdom to sleep but heard from King Draco tell King Harry about his son wanting to marry some 'peasant girl'. Luckily Salazar had good hearing. He gathered the others and they raced to the cottage in where all was ruined. All that was evidence of Scorpius being there was his cloak. They knew where they had to go and fast.
Scorpius struggled against his bounds as he woke up in his cell. He knew what had happened and wanted to confront the son of a bitch who pulled a sucker move like this. He saw his grandfather standing by a window, stroking his pet bird which perched on his cane and have a smirk on his face.
"Ah, so the Prince has risen," He said with a chuckle. "You must be wondering as to why you are here and not with your love. Well, it's quite simple, to educate you."
"Let me go Grandfather."
"Not until you have learned your place boy." Lucius hissed. "And the real story behind your 'peasant.'" He summoned a crystal orb and waved his hand over it. "Look here, King Harry's castle and in the topmost tower, dreaming of her true love, lies Princess Lily. On a strange whim of fate, why… it's the same peasant maid, who had stolen his Highness' heart but yesterday..." Scorpius looked into it and gasped. It was his beloved. Lily… "She is indeed, most fair. In ageless sleep, she finds repose. In a hundred years time, a prince will be free to go his way, to give his love, love's first kiss and prove that true love conquers all." Scorpius growled and struggled against his bounds again, pissed as the hells. On the window, Godric was seething and had almost blown their cover. They had gone to the Forbidden Forrest and followed the dark wizard.
When Lucius had left to retire for the night, they went in and set the young man free, arming him with a sword,Gryffindor's own sword, and Merlin's shield. Battle ensued and on the way to the castle, Lucius, who had been awakened by the ruckus, he placed himself to fight, turning into a vicious dragon. Scorpius went for him and Lucius played a bit but when Scorpius hit him in the snout with his sword, he was livid. He snapped, driving the Prince to the edge of a cliff and blew fire at the Prince. The shield fell but the wizards placed a spell onto the sword. Scorpius threw the sword, piercing his grandfather's heart and lifting all but one enchantment...
Scorpius ran up the stairs and stopped still at the sight of his beloved. His heart went out to her as he approached the bed, looked at her and kissed her. In an instant, her room brightened and she opened her eyes, and smiled at him. There was no need for words.
King Harry and the others yawned and the raven haired king shook the shoulder of the blond.
"Oh, Draco, you…were saying?"
"Hm…I was….oh yes, frankly Harry this is the new generation yeah?"
"No, what were you saying a moment ago?"
"Oh, my son Scorpius said that he was going to marry…." He was cut short from the trumpets and Harry's hand on his chest. The men looked up and couldn't believe the sight.
"It's Lily!" Harry cried happily, "She's here!"
"And….and…Scorpius…." Draco said as he rubbed his eyes, not believing this. The young couple bowed and curtsied then Lily went into her mother's arms. It was a joyous reunion. Draco was stunned.
"B…But what does this mean boy? I don't under….uh…" Lily looked at him and smiled sweetly then kissed his cheek before returning to her love. The King actually blushed then watched them dance. He was still trying to figure things out but when he looked at the other couple he shrugged. What the hell….
The prince and princess danced into the night and lived happily ever after.
