Once Upon
a time there was a beautiful young princess named Meredith. The princess was in
a secret relationship with William, a young wizard who attended the school of witchcraft. Her
parents did not believe in the art of magic and therefore would never allow her
to marry a wizard. But, Meredith was in love and was very conflicted on what to
do. Her parents would soon expect her to be married and add someone to their
royal/muggle family. She ended up marrying a nice and noble prince that her
parents approved of. She was heartbroken to have to marry someone she didn’t
truly love, but she had no choice. William was devastated and felt betrayed,
but he knew his heart and hers belonged together.
So, with
his invisible cloak he snuck into the castle. He had a plan to save his princess.
He went to the kitchen while it was vacant and stirred up a little confusion
concoction. This potion would make the prince sick and confused hopefully
allowing William to get alone time with Meredith. After making the potion
William snuck out of the kitchen and hurried into where they were serving the
prince and Meredith’s meal. He watched him drink the potion, and then “Poof!”
he turned into a very sick prince…
The royal
staff was embarrassed and immediately sent him away to the nearest hospital.
Meredith was just enjoying her food, and acted so worried, however secretly she
was relieved. When no one was looking William revealed himself from under the
invisible cloak. Meredith’s jaw dropped! It was William! Her REAL Prince Charming!
William draped the cloak over both of them and whispered,
“I’ve
come to save you sweet Mere! Come live with me and become a witch!”
Meredith
apologized, “I am so sorry for marrying someone else, you know I could never
love someone as much as you!”
William
and Meredith ran out the castle and jumped on his broom and away they went. And
they lived Happily Ever After.

Author's Note: The original story is about a prince who falls in love with a young witch. His father forces the prince to marry the prettiest girl in their town. The young witch felt so hurt and betrayed she turned the prince into a monkey and his whole kingdom into a jungle. He would be stuck as a monkey for five centuries or until he found true love. The monkey prince stayed up in his tree hoping for someone to love, but was turned down so many times. Eventually he noticed a sweet girl outside the church lonely and sad. He took her up to the top of his tree and she soon fell for him. He then turned into a prince again and she woke up in the castle.
Hi Madee!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute little story about a wizard in love with a muggle! I am a big fan of Harry Potter myself, and it is nice to read innocent, happy stories like this one! I think most of us who are fans of Harry Potter wished to be able to do magic or even know someone that did, so this was an adorable love story with those magical elements!
Hi Madee.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely story! I enjoyed reading something so lighthearted, it really put a smile on my face.
I wonder what happened after the prince recovered? Did he care that his wife was missing?
I noticed you capitalized the word "upon" at the beginning. Was this a mistake or a stylistic choice?
I loved your story, keep up the good work!
Hi Madee,
ReplyDeleteI didn't read this original story, so I had no idea how much you had changed it until I read the author's notes. I think it's neat that you took the basic concept from the story and really made it your own. I can definitely see the influences from Harry Potter as well, and all together I think it turned out to be a cute story!
