COMPLETED Remember the tale of Rumplestiltskin? Yes, the tale where a child was promised to him in exchange for spinning straw into gold. The same tale where he was fooled and was forced away. Now he's back and he will claim what was promised to him. The child. A deal is a deal. Princess Erinne is entering adulthood. Being the granddaughter of nothing but a miller, her introduction to royalty and aristocracy is no trip in the park. As the day she turns eighteen comes around, an old acquaintance of her mother makes an appearance, claiming her as his. (This is not a OUAT fanfiction. It's a fairy tale retelling)

With the Yule Ball coming up, one night can change everything. Draco's family gets into the picture as well. Can their unlikely pairing last through different lifestyles and tasks? Adding in Draco's cousin, what will happen when the three of them get involved into one situation? How will Draco handle it? -Story starts the fourth year, and continues on. :)
