Harry Potter Swan Princess style
Narrator:
Once upon a time there was a king named Lucius who ruled over a large and mighty kingdom. And yet, he was sad for he was growing old and had no child to inherit the throne. Then, happily a son was born… a princess. And he was given the name Draco.
Kings and Queens came from all around to offer their gifts to the child. Among them was the widow Lilly and her young son, Prince Harry. It was then that Lucius and Lilly happened upon the same idea as they watched Harry dangle a golden necklace above the cradle. Harry and Draco would be brought together each summer in hopes that they would fall in love and join their kingdoms forever.
But unknown to all was another plan, that of the evil enchanter, Voldemort. Draco's birth was of little concern to him, for he was preparing to take king Lucius' kingdom by means of the forbidden arts.
On the eve of his assault, Lucius attacked and Voldemorts powers were plunged into darkness. Despite the calls for his death, the enchanter was only banished.
"I'm not finished with you, Lucius. Someday I'll get my power back. And when I do, everything you own, everything you love will be mine," threatened Voldemort.
Lucius and his royal guard looked down at him as Lucius pointed on finger towards the forest and Voldemort disappeared into the shadows.
Narrator: Many fear king Lucius too kind. But in time the threat was forgotten and all hopes turned to that not-too-distant summer, when Harry and Draco would meet.
Cut to: Exterior, Lilly's castle just afternoon.
"Hehehe, oh, here they come, hee! (Laughter)" squealed the chamberlain as he stood in the towers, calling down to his queen and prince as he sounded the horn which took much effort to blow. It seemed a nest had become lodged, but it was soon blown away.
"Dear Lilly, as lovely as ever," greeted Lucius as Lilly gave a slight incline of her head only to have the nest fall upon it. Above a gasp was heard from the chamberlain.
"Oh a nest," smiled Lilly as a bird flew it away.
"And who might this strapping young man be? Young Prince Harry, no doubt," winked Lucius in a hinting voice.
"Welcome to our fair kingdom, dear Lucius. And to you, young princess," greeted Lilly in the same hinting voice as she watched the two royals dismount, before they both nudged their children towards each other "go on Harry," she giggled "dear, go on…"
"Mother!" came the young Harry's voice embarrassed.
"Harry!" replied Lilly's voice, now stern.
Harry trudged forth reluctantly towards Draco, "Hello, princess' Draco. I'm very pleased to meet you," all the while staring at his boots.
Draco went to give a polite bow, "Pleased to meet you, Prince Harry," as Harry fled back to his mother.
"Ah-ah-ah-ah," chided Lilly waving her finger, and Harry walked back over to the princess. Taking her hand he looked at it disgusted, Draco's face not far from it, and kissed his knuckles.
"Yuck!" replied Harry after the swift hand his, wiping his lips on his sleeve.
Song: find this is my idea, swan princess song, its funny to watch…
Harry: I can't believe I'm stuck with him all summer. I'll bet he doesn't wrestle, hunt or box.
Draco: He looks conceited
Harry: What a total bummer
Draco & Harry: If I get lucky I'll get chicken pox

Lilly: She soon will be arriving, is that the respect your showing?

The only point on which they didn't disagree

Split screen + transitions: Harry and Draco- now adults
Harry and Draco: For as long as we remember
We've been told we'd someday wed
Every June until September
Harry: All their pushing and annoying hints
Draco: I've got bruises with their fingerprints
Harry: I can do much better I am sure

I see him smiling and my knees start buckling, I see inside him and my doubts are gone

Draco: This is my idea
Harry: This is my idea
Harry & Draco: This is my idea, of
Chores: Love, as Draco and Harry's lips met in a soft kiss
Harry: Arrange the marriage!
The crowd cheered and applauded loudly, happy to finally have their couple together when Draco spoke.
"Wait!"
"What? You're all I ever wanted. You're beautiful!" replied Harry looking confused.
"Thank you. But what else?" asked Draco.
"What else?" replied Harry further confused.
"Is beauty all that maters to you?" asked Draco unhappily.
Lucius coughed rather disappointedly at his son's boldness.
"Harry… What else?" urged Lilly eagerly.
"I, uh… What else is there?" replied Harry lost for words.
"Buzz," replied Sirius pointing his thumb down.
Lilly looked flabbergasted as she saw everything fall to pieces at her son's words, Lucius also looked stunned as Draco looked down, disappointed in his answer.
Transition to: Exterior, Lilly's castle, day
"We tried, Lilly. No one can say we didn't try," frowned Lucius
Lilly gave a sob, everything gone wrong had and Draco and Lucius were leaving their kingdom.
"Say goodbye, Draco," as Lucius called to his son.
"Goodbye," replied Draco automatically.
"Goodbye?" Lucius questioned pointedly.
"Prince Harry," finished Draco reluctantly, voice laced with sadness.
Lilly nudged Harry "mother."
"Harry!" whispered Lilly sternly.
"Goodbye, Princess," replied Harry sadly, disappointed in himself.
Draco took one back glance at Harry as he and his father rode through the gates, Harry looked on, the love that was meant to be his riding away, turning his head away Harry missed the last back glance Draco was sending him. Wishing he could stay but the answer he gave…
"All these years of planning….Wasted!" yelled Lilly angrily storming back into the castle, as Harry watched them till they left sight…
