And another! Enjoy!


"What do I owe this pleasure Mr. Weasley?" Ron sat across from his old Hogwarts Professor non to happy that he was the only one in France he could call. Severus Snape looked truly terrifying sitting across the tavern table from him.

"I want Belle" He said determinedly "There's a danger I'll be thwarted, And denied my honeymoon, For the pretty thing I've courted, Refuse to swoon, So, the time has come for a murky plan, For which I turn to a murky man"

"To find that fiend" Neville said

"Where better than, The Maison des Lunes?" They both said together

"I don't take this girl for granted, There's no path I haven't hewn, To her heart; no seed unplanted, No flowers unstrewn, But quite amazing to relate, She doesn't want me for her mate," Ron said angrily

"Which forces him to contemplate" Neville said rolling his eyes

"The Maison des Lunes" They said together

"I don't wish to seem a tad obtuse, But I don't see how I can be of use, For I lock people up; I'm not a "Lonely Heart's club", I'm a cold, cold fish, I've a nasty, vicious streak," Severus said glaring at the two boys, Neville cowered in fear, not really getting over his aversion to the man in front of them.

"Please speak!" He whispered

"It's Belle's father who's your client, She adores the old buffoon, She'll be forced to be complaint" Ron began

"She'll dance to your tune" Neville said

"We get the daughter through her dad, You just pronounce the old boy mad" Ron said

"And, whoosh! He's slammed up in your pad" Neville said

"The Maison des Lunes"

"Do I make myself entirely clear?" Ron said leaning forward and dropping a bag of money on the table. Severus took the bag and weighed it in his hands and nodded

"It's the simplest deal of my whole foul career!" He said with a smirk, not bothering to mention all the holes in this plan to the buffoon in front of him.

"Put Maurice away and she'll be here in moments, In a dreadful state, She'll capitulate to me!" Ron said

"I'll be strapping up an inmate" Severus said liking the idea

"Very tightly" Neville added

"Very soon" Ron said darkly

"But please don't bring him late, Our check-in time's noon!" Severus said

"So, wave one bachelor goodbye"

"She'll be my bride"

"She'd rather die, Than have her daddy ossify?"

"In my sordid saloon"

"So book the church; raise the glasses high, To the Maison des Lunes!" They chorused together.


"Come along now dear, we need to get you dressed" Mrs. Malfoy said leading Hermione back upstairs. Pansy waited happily with Ginny. "This is Ginny"

"Nice to meet you" Hermione said, she was curious about why some of these people had her friends names as well. She also wondered about the curse, she had decided though after watching everyone, it was safer not to ask. The three enchanted women quickly dressed her in a beautiful violet and silver ball gown. Her hair was done up and her make up perfected. She was then led down stairs. they had dinner with much laughter and conversation when Hermione spotted the dance floor.

"Dance with me" She said moving to him. She took his claw like hand and pulled him protesting towards the dance floor. Mrs. Malfoy and Teddy watched with the others from the dinning room.

"Tale as old as time, True as it can be, Barely even friends, Then somebody bends, Unexpectedly. Just a little change, Small to say the least, Both a little scared, Neither one prepared, Beauty and the Beast." Mrs. Malfoy sang, her heart swelling at the sight, maybe the curse would be broken, she could see the love, now they just needed to realize it themselves. "Ever just the same, Ever a surprise, Ever as before, Ever just as sure, As the sun will rise. Tale as old as time, Tune as old as song, Bittersweet and strange, Finding you can change, Learning you were wrong."

"Certain as the sun, Rising in the east, Tale as old as time, Song as old as rhyme, Beauty and the Beast. Tale as old as time, Song as old as rhyme, Beauty and the Beast." She sang as they finished their dance and made their way out of the ball room. "Off to the cupboard with you now, Teddy, It's past your bedtime. Good night, love."

Draco led Hermione up the stairs to his rooms, He turned to her and sighed, he was going to do it. He didn't know if he could hold it in any longer.

"Hermione, are you happy here?" He asked her

"Yes, I guess I am, though I wish I could see my father" Hermione said looking out the window, he had a better view of the village she used to live in before coming here. He saw her longing look and picked up his mirror.

"Here, with this you can" He said handing it to her "Just ask for what you wish to see."

"I wish to see my father" She said and gasped seeing his image appear, he was standing in the snow coughing. "My father, he's in trouble!"

"Go to him" Draco said feeling his heart break in half.

"But"

"Go, he needs you now, take the mirror, so you can remember us" He said softly, she nodded and took off.

"Well?" Blaize asked as he, Harry and Mrs. Malfoy entered a few hours later.

"It's over, I let her go"

"You let her go! Why!"

"It doesn't matter! She'd never be able to love me!" He said sadly "No spell has been broken, No words have been spoken, No point anymore if she can't love me, No hope she would do so, No dream to pursue, so, I looked to myself, despise all the things I see, For I know that she, Cannot set me free, Let the world be done with me"
