╭────𓂃༺❦༻⋆𓆸⋆༺❦༻𓂃────╮ “To free this house, you must love someone without trying to own their happiness, and be loved freely in return. When this rose is bare, the curse becomes permanent.” The doors slammed shut. When Blaise forced them open, Dahlia was gone. Thorns were climbing over the road. By dawn, the castle had vanished from the valley. ├───────❄︎⋆༶🥀༶⋆❄︎───────┤ Y/N has spent a lifetime finding adventure between the pages of books, certain the world must hold more than their village’s narrow streets and narrower expectations. When their friend Silas Crouch disappears beyond the winter woods, searching for him leads to a forgotten castle—and a bargain that exchanges his freedom for theirs. Once, Blaise Zabini could charm an entire court without surrendering a single honest piece of himself. Now, an enchantment has made him a Beast, transformed his household, and bound their futures to a rose slowly dying beneath glass. His manners remain impeccable when he chooses. His temper is less accommodating. And he has no intention of letting a stubborn stranger discover how desperately he fears being seen. But Y/N refuses to be intimidated by sharp teeth or a sharper tongue. ╰────𓂃༺❦༻⋆𓆸⋆༺❦༻𓂃────╯
