Tale as Old as Time

Chapter 10

It wasn't even a half an hour when there was a knock at the door. Grania cautiously went to open it. She found a flying feather duster and a tea pot sitting on a push cart. She eyed them both weirdly. She knew she must've went nuts.

"Trust me deary, you are not going nuts." Ginny told her.

Ginny had been transformed into a tea pot. She missed her family and Harry. She was wondering what he was doing now. Maybe Grania would know but she wasn't too sure. She was over joyed to see her old friend after what felt like ages but was suddenly saddened by the fact Grania has no memory of her. Pansy noticed and felt for her but they both quickly hid it as Grania let them enter the room.

"Let us introduce ourselves where the men have neglected their manners." She eyed Blaise who just entered the room.

He stopped and looked at her, "What did I do?"

"Get over here and introduce yourself." Pansy told him.

Blaise walked over and stood in front of Grania. But then remembered something and smiled, "But I already introduced myself, dear wife." He said way to happy.

She rolled her eyes, "Fine. Hello I am Pansy. You already met my idiotic husband here." Blaise waved.

"Then there is Theodore." She noticed Grania's confused look, then remembered, "The talking clock."

"Oh okay." She nodded.

Ginny then spoke up, "My name is Ginny." She wanted to go into more detail but thought it useless, and then sighed.

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Grania."

"We have come to give you a warm welcome to make you feel at home and please if you need anything don't be afraid to ask." Pansy stated.

Grania looked at then and smiled, "Thank you."

"Would you like a tour?" Ginny asked.

Grania lit up, "I would like that very much.

"Good while you Ginny give her the tour, we will go and prepare dinner!" Blaise announced.

He wrapped his arm around Pansy and they both exited out the room. Once the door was closed, Pansy slapped him.

He looked at her, "What was that for?"

"Do you know what you are doing is dangerous?" She hissed.

"My love you must understand I am doing this for all of us. How are we suppose to break the spell without some risks?"

She folded her arms and turned from him, "Come on pans, you know I would give anything to be able to hold you in my arms, without burning you."

He came up behind her wrapped his metal/gold arms around her, she chuckled, "And I would give and go through a lot of great lengths to be able to continue into our marriage bed. If you get what I mean."

She turned around, "Everyone and their mother knows what you mean."

"Am I forgiven?" Blaise asked.

She looked at him and sighed, "I forgive you. I just hope you know what you are doing."

"Trust me, when ever have I let you down?" Blaise said laying on his accent.

She rolled her eyes and together they walked down to the kitchens.

Blaise and Pansy have been married for about two years now. Pansy was a princess, and the only heir, next in line for the throne. Blaise met Pansy by a chance encounter one day while out riding. Then and there it is was hate a first sight. She saw him as a worthless peasant and he saw her as a snobby princess. But since they were a neighboring kingdom, Draco visited there often, his father's hope was that he would marry Pansy but he never saw any interest.

But because he visited so often Blaise went with him and saw her a lot. Over time Draco, Blaise, and Pansy grew to be the very best of friends. Blaise and Pansy slowly but surely grew to love each other. They denied it or many years but eventually professed their love for each other. Blaise was the first to admit it to himself, his friends and then finally to her. Pansy didn't really ever show emotions or n ow what to do when she felt them so she tried to get rid of it but couldn't.

Together they faced many obstacles because she was a princess and he wasn't royalty. Eventually, the kingdom accepted him, mostly because Pansy threatened to give the her crown to be with him.

It took many years though but to them it was worth it. Their love is as strong as ever. They compliment each other so much it annoys them. The night of the ball was their first year anniversary and they were attending Draco's ball because they hadn't seen him in a while. Then the enchantress happened.

Grania was left in the room with the tea pot and finally got that she wasn't dreaming and decided to go with it. She then remembered that this place and whole kingdom was full of magic so she didn't think too much into it. She was happy to know she would be getting a tour soon because she didn't want to be cooped up in the room. Because if she did she would think about her father and the life she left behind. She wondered what mysteries this place held and what beauty was hidden underneath it all. She couldn't wait to see it all. The only thing was she didn't want to see the Beast. His house ware friends seem to pushy for some reason, she thought but pushed it off. She did that because she figured they haven't seen or talked to any new people for a while and that was a good enough excuse for now.

"Ready for the tour Grania?" Ginny asked.

Grania looked at her and smiled, "Yes I am."

"Well then lets go." Ginny said as Grania got up off the bed. She walked over to the door and opened it.

"Lead the way Gin." She smiled. Ginny gave back a small smile.
