"I didn't know anyone could be so beautiful."

They were staring at Snow, weren't they?

I'm gonna kill them.

As I became more aware of my surroundings I realized I was tied up to a chair.

Oh, now I'm really gonna kill them. I started thinking of the different methods I could use. I really wish I had my wand. Wait. My wand. Where is my wand?

I felt incredibly defenseless not knowing where it was. How could I protect Snow?! I was useless without it!

I silently struggled against the tight rope that held my arms against the wooden chair. I stopped as Snow sat up, not yet noticing the idiotic green men who had backed up.

Her eyes moved around, dazed. They widened in shock as she finally noticed the men. She gasped and backed up slightly. The big one took this as a sign, and stepping forward he said, "Hello, dear lady. Welcome to my home slash command post."

I rolled my eyes dramatically as the stupid, stupid little man continued. "I have six roommates but my names on the lease."

The blondie stepped in. "I pay the rent."

As they continued to talk I managed to pull myself free of my binds. Sitting patiently with my hands in my lap, I tuned back in again.

"You see I marinate the solution and-"

"Who is that?" Snow interrupted the small ginger, pointing to a mirror. The men assumed she was talking about me, looking in my direction. I raised my hand and wiggled my fingers as a wave. A big evil smile graced my face as they reacted.

"Oh! Marcella!" My eyes turned to Snow.

"You know her!?" The one in blue asked in disbelief.

"Yeah! She's my friend!" I puffed up proudly and looked at the small men with a smug smile as I walked over next to her.

"B-but! She's a- She's a witch!" Snow tilted her head as I frowned and rolled my eyes again. "I know." She grabbed my arm gently, pulling me to her side. "Why? Is that a problem?"

The dwarves stared in shock and disbelief. My smug smile grew. Even if I wasn't right about my theory, they still tied me up and were acting like creeps.

"O-of course not! No problems here. None at all..." The last part came out as a hushed growl.

But I heard it, I smiled innocently as the blue one glared harshly. I might have been intimidated if he were his regular self (if my theory was correct) but he was so small now! I wanted to laugh, but I kept it down. He blinked, clearing his throat and looking to Snow. "Excuse me, but who are you?"

"Oh! I'm Sno-" she cut herself off, and I tilted my head slightly at her.

"Snot?" The Blue dwarf asked in slight horror.

"No no no no!" Snow cleared quickly. "My name is..." she trailed off again, glancing down. I looked down as well. Those red shoes had been bugging me the whole time. Obviously, they were magic, they had completely changed the sweet girl.

"R-red Shoes! Yep. It's me. Red Shoes." She chuckled nervously. I deadpanned as she smiled at me nervously.

"Cool name," the dwarf nodded, "but, by any chance would that be Princess Red Shoes?"

The big one slung an arm around him, "Of course, she's a princess! How could she be so beautiful if she weren't? Obviously, right miss?"

It took everything in me to not roll my eyes again. I instead blankly stared at him as Snow answered. "Obviously, I mean I am a princess." It was silent for a moment, "Who are you guys?" I perked up.

The blue one put on a face, "I'm Merlin. Part-time hero, full-time romantic." I took a deep breath in, trying not to burst out laughing or say anything mean. Wait, did he say Merlin? ew. My smile dropped immediately. He glared in my direction but continued to introduce his pals. "And this is Jack, Hans, Arthur, Pino, Noki, and Kio."

"No way, your names are the same as the F-Seven."

I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT

No time to laugh now Marcella calm down!

"The fearless Seven. We're looking for them."

Sending another quick glare to me, Merlin stepped forward. "Let me guess, Merlin's your favorite?" He asked her. Snow shook her head, "No, not really." I smiled.

Arthur stepped forward proudly, shoving his friend aside. "No, that Merlin's not your type. You seem like a Prince Arthur fan to me."

Snow pondered, "Honestly, none of them are really my type." I let out a small quiet giggle. They all looked shocked.

"Uhh, Oh. Well. That's fine. Because we're not them, we're actually completely different people. In no way are we the same guys, put under a curse, and changed into different forms. But only if someone looks at us, it's very complicated."

Everyone stared at him.

Arthur rolled his eyes, "Right. We're all clear." He cleared his throat, "So how can I assist you, my fair lady?"

Snow held my arm in hers, "I need to find my father. And I know that the F7 can help."

Merlin elbowed Arthur out of the way, "We know the F7 very well, and their schedule is fully booked. Leave it to me, I'll find your father within the month."

"I can do it in one week!" Hans said.

Arthur shoved him away, "I can do it in Four days!"

Next was the triplets, "Three days!"

"Two days!"

"One! And a half?"

Finally, Jack shoved through, "I already found your father like, two weeks ago!"

"Really?" Snow raised a brow looking amused. The blonde looked away slightly, "I just need a few days to get him across state lines."

Snow frowned, which made me frown. "I seriously need to find my dad." Merlin cut in, "Hold on. Nobody has seen the F7 in over a year, right? You're not going to find them now, we're your best bet."

Snow smiled lightly, "Wow. No one besides Ash has offered me help for such a long time. You guys are awesome."

Merlin looked shocked, "Really? You think we're awesome?"

Snow nodded, "Yeah! You guys are caring, and sweet, and..."

Merlin cut her off, "And not completely hideous to look at?"

Snow shook her head, "No, you guys are totally adorable!"

I wouldn't go that far.

"I think I hit her too hard." I heard Hans say as he leaned toward Merlin.

"But she is beautiful." He said in an extremely creepy and breathy tone. I cringed and glared at the small man. "She can help me break the curse."

They need her to break the curse? Weird. They better not touch her. I'm sure I could recall the spell some of the older Slytherin girls talked about.

I leaned to Snow, who was inspecting herself in the mirror. "Are you sure this is a good idea?" I whispered to her, though they could probably still hear me.

Snow glanced at me and nodded, "They can help! The more help the better right?"

I frowned, "Yeah, I guess."

Hans cleared his throat. He stepped forward and smiled sweetly. "I don't think we ever caught your name?"

I was caught off guard, they had practically ignored my existence altogether. "Uh, it's Marcella. Marcella Flint." I said tensely, not expecting to be spoken to.

"Well! It's nice to meet you, Marcella! Are you two still hungry? We should probably get ready for Dinner!" He chattered on as the others nodded in agreement. I definitely didn't argue as they led the two of us to the kitchen. I was starved.

The food was amazing. The company was not too bad. Some of the more passive seven had made small talk with me. Asking me things like how old I was and whatnot. They'd given me my wand back which is not something I expected but was happy about nonetheless.

After dinner, they walked us back to the room with the beds. They argued about which bed Red should get. In the end, it was Jacks, who looked extremely proud of his fancy extravagant bed.

Hans was once again the one who pointed out I still existed by offering his bed for me. "Oh! Er, thank you, Hans." He nodded, "Of course! It's not a problem!" And with that, they all left.

"Where do you think they're gonna sleep?"
