Heidi's POV

The party is going better than I would ever thought, everyone is dancing, eating, drinking punch, and just having a great time. Harry was dancing with Evie, which I was okay with. I am tapped on my shoulder and see Ally standing there, "You enjoying yourself?" Ally asks me sitting down next to me, "Yeah, can't say that I'm not." I smile at Ally who looks over at Harry and Evie. "Looks like Harry and you are back together." I nod my head happily, "You were right by the way Ally, when Harry first got here a part of me did want him to change, to fit in with all the other guys here." Ally sighs and places her hand on my knee, "Harry has changed, it might not be in way that you like, but when he stopped himself from killing you and Ben that was change, him setting everything up as your secret admirer that was change, him getting dressed up and bringing you here that was change." Ally was right as always, Harry has been trying changing and I didn't even notice, "it may be little changes, but he is trying, and Heidi that is all you can ask for." I nod my head agreeing with her, "I love him for who he is flaws and all." Ally smiles a sweet smile, "We all get things wrong here and there, but trying to fix those wrongs is what makes us different then the villains, and that my dear is why evil never overcomes good." As Ally leaves the table, something suddenly hits me, like I could see my future. I was sitting in a living room. It was a beautiful; the couch was a light grey, a black table in the middle that was covered in magazines, food, and drinks. The entertainment center had movies on one side and books on the other. A nice warm fire was going in the fireplace, the mantel was covered with trophies and the TV that was above the fireplace was on. "Mommy." I heard someone say, a small little boy came running down a set of stairs, he couldn't be more than 5 years old, "Yes?" I questioned not sure if the young boy was talking to me. "Daddy's home!" yelled the boy as he opened the front door and let snow in the house. I snapped back to reality Was that real? I asked myself, it felt so real, the warm fire, the sound of the TV, the little boy who called me mommy. I felt it deep down in my heart, what I just saw was my future and I was happy, married, and had an adorable little boy. I thought more and more about the vision and the more I took in the small things in the house, what channel the TV was on, the trophies on the mantel, and the most important thing the little boy who once I took in his appearance he looked just like someone I knew. I am snapped out of my thoughts by the sound of someone on a mic, "Hi, tonight isn't just about the dance, tonight just so happens to be the anniversary of Belle and Beast, and since tonight is so special, I can only think of one way to celebrate, so please help me welcome a women very special women, my grandmother, Ms. Potts." Christyn announces as she makes her way off the stage and we all clap as Ms. Potts takes center stage. "Please can I have everyone make their way to the dance floor with that special someone." I smile as Harry walks up to me and takes my hand bringing me to my feet. "May I have this dance Princess?" Harry asks, he holds out one of his hands, and puts the other to his chest bowing to me. I give him a little smile before bowing back, "It would be an honor." I place my hand in his. Harry pulls me to the dance floor.

Mrs. Potts: Tale as old as time. {Harry picks up my hand, brings it to his lips, and places a loving kiss on my knuckles.} True as it can be. {Harry twirls me around, and pulls me back into his chest.} Barely even friends. {I place my head on his chest.} Then somebody bends. {Harry pulls me closer his hand resting on my lower back.} Unexpectedly. {I look into his eyes as he gives me a smile.} Just a little change. {Harry dips me, and being me back up to his chest} Small to say the least. {I run my fingers through his soft hair.} Both a little scared. {Harry shakes his head, that was his signal to stop messing with his hair.} Neither one prepared. {I lift my hand to his handsome face.} Beauty and the Beast. {Harry takes my hand placing another soft kiss on it.} Ever just the same. {I stand on my tiptoes, giving him a kiss on his cheek.} Ever a surprise. {I start tracing the design on his mask.} Ever as before. {I move his mask, making it crocked on his face.} And ever just as sure. {I can't help the loving smile that is on my lips.} As the sun will rise. {Harry laughs with a smile.} Tale as old as time. {Harry fixes his mask as we keep dancing side to side.} Tune as old as song. {I can feel Harry run his hand through my hair.} Bitter-sweet and strange. {I close my eyes, enjoying this moment with Harry.} Finding you can change. {I let out a sigh, the feeling of this moment, was one that I just couldn't put in words.} Learning you were wrong. {I open my eyes and move closer to him; my arms encircle around his neck.} Certain as the sun. {His arms wrap around my waist.} Rising in the east. {When I look up into Harry's eyes I see that his eyes are soft.} Tale as old as time. {He takes one of his hands off my waist and bring up to my face, he softy and gently brushes his fingertips across my cheek.} Song as old as rhyme. {Our faces were only inches apart now.} Beauty and the Beast. {Harry picks up my hand, brings it to his lips, and places a kiss on the ring he gave me.} Tale as old as time. {He and I step away from each other.} Song as old as rhyme. {Harry puts one hand behind his back, and the other to his chest bowing to me again.} Beauty and... the Beast. {I lower my head, take ahold of my dress, put my right foot behind my left, and bend my knee, bowing back to him, as the song came to an end.}
