You got off Draco's bed and sighed. You stared at the rose and the little peddles it had. It was weird..

'What happens when the last peddle falls?' You asked.

'The master.. dies.' Lumière spoke. 'And we become-'

'Antiques..' misses Potts finished his sentence.

'Rubbish... we become rubbish.' Cogsworth sighed.

Dies? Antiques... that's horrible! Ever magical curse can be broken somehow. You sighed and sat down at the end of Draco's bed.

'I want to help you. There must be some way to break the curse.'

Cogsworth stepped forwards.

'Well there is one-'

Lumière hit him. Cogsworth looked at him in anger. Weren't you allowed to know?

'It's not for you worry about poppet. We've made our bed.. now we must lay in it.'

You looked at her and sighed. You looked back at the rose and saw that another peddle was going to fall. After a second it fell and the manor started shaking. You looked back at Draco who opened his eyes, stared across the ceiling and then closed his eyes again.

You sighed and got up. The others left you alone with Draco. You grabbed a chair and sat down besides his bed.

'Want me to read.. Or tell... You something?' You asked.

Draco looked at you.

'Sure.'

You started the first act of A Midsummer Night's dream. It was your second favourite play from Shakespeare.

'Love can transpose to form and dignity. Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind. And therefore-'

'And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.'

You looked at Draco in surprise... a pureblood wizard who knew Shakespeare? You turned towards him and Draco sat up.

'You know Shakespeare?' You asked.

'When I was in a rebel fase I might have read some muggle books.. to disgust of my father. After that kind off like it.'

'Actually... Romeo and Juliet is my favourite play.' You smiled.

Draco sighed and rolled his eyes.

'Why is that not a surprise?' He sighed

You looked at him in disbelieve.

'I'm sorry?' You asked.

'Well... Like the heartache, and paining.' He finished his sentence by making some disgusting sounds. 'There are so many better things to read.'

'Like what?' You asked.

'Well, if you just turn your back for just a few minutes I'll show you.'

You got up in confusion and turned your back towards Draco. He got up and got dressed.

'You can turn back.'

You turned around and saw Draco in his fancy black suit. He just put on his jacket. You walked towards the closet.

'You forgot something...'

You grabbed a tie and walked towards him. You tightened it around his neck and smiles.

'L-Lets go.' Draco sighed.

You followed Draco towards the back of the manor. He opened two large doors.

'Well, There are a couple of things in here where you can start with.'

He walked into a huge library! There were bookshelves linned up, filled with both muggle and wizard books. You looked around in awe. It was just so big! You weren't used to this.

'Are you alright?' Draco asked.

You continued looking and took a few more steps. You looked up and noticed more bookshelves. A huge smile crossed tour face. You missed reading..

'It's wonderful!' You smiled.

'Hm..yes.. I suppose it is.'

You looked at Draco.

'Well... if you like it so much.. then it's yours.'

You looked at him in disbelief. He gave you his library?! You smiled at him thankfully. He turned around and walked away.

'Have you really read every one of these books?' You asked and stopped him.

'Pff, not all of them. Some of them are in Greek.'

You chuckled.

'Was that a joke?' You asked. 'Are you making jokes now?'

He shrugged and you swear you saw a smile.

'Maybe.'

He turned around and walked away. You covered your mouth and squeaked in happiness.

You looked passed the bookshelves. Romeo and Juliet caught your eyes together with a Midsumer Night's dream. You grabbed them and continued looking. You found some books you had never seen before. In the end you had 6 books which you took with you. You ran through the manor halls. Draco saw you pass and Lumière saw him smile.

You ran into the living room and sat down on the couch. You threw a book at Draco. He looked at it and rolled his eyes while looking at you.

'Romeo and Juliet? Seriously? Out off all books you pick this one for me?'

You laughed and nodded.

'I know how much you love it.'

'I've only read it once. I hated it. I know almost nothing of this book.'

' Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.' You spoke.

Draco looked at you in confusion and opened the book.

'From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.' You smiled.

'That's... impressive.' Draco spoke.

You blushed and grabbed a Midsummer Night's dream.

'I also have this one if you like.'

Lumière and Cogsworth looked at the two of you. You pointed at the seat besides you. Draco sat down and you handed him to other book. You grabbed Romeo and Juliet and opened it.

Cogsworth and Lumière jumped of the table and joined the others.

'Reading together? How did that happen?' Cogsworth asked.

'I heard them talk about Shakespeare.' Plumette spoke. 'Remember when he asked us not to tell Lucius that he was reading muggle books? They were from Shakespeare.'

'She sure loves Shakespeare..' Cogsworth sighed.

'She's a halfblood. Probably grew up with it.' Lumière said.

They looked at you with a little bit of hope.. were you their saviour?
