Plot summary by sweetpinkpixie

Once upon a time, in a magical school named Hogwarts, students and staff alike settled in for what was perceived to be a quiet year. Someone should have warned them that looks can be deceiving and all it would take was one permission slip to the Restricted Section to change everything. Alexa Cambridge, Gryffindor seventh year and Head Girl, was the first to be whisked away by a fairytale alter ego after a mysterious leather bound book called The Fairy Tale Book of Fairy Tales unceremoniously fell off the shelves at the girl’s feet. Departing with the book in hand, Cambridge left not as herself, but as the Mistress of All Evil - Maleficent.

Mysterious books were not the only game afoot early on in the term, however. In light of the chort invasion of the previous term, Headmistress Truebridge held a secret meeting in her office with Professors Culloden, Fuller, and Thompson to request their assistance in investigating the motives of Lolita Domingo, the school’s new Arithmancy professor as of last term, for being in the Forbidden Forest. While Culloden and Thompson distracted the woman in the staff room, Fuller broke into her office and found incriminating evidence of Domingo’s involvement with the chort attacks. Magical Law Enforcement were called in, who promptly arrested the woman and escorted her off school grounds to face trial.

Meanwhile, back in the castle, a spinning wheel appeared in the Room of Requirement and and giant sinkhole engulfed the entire quidditch pitch and stadium. Did both events have a connection to the mysterious book? The Ministry placed the blame of the sinkhole on all the accumulated moisture from the previous school year's long snowfall, so at least the fairy tale book’s influence had not spread that far. Yet.

The fairy tale book began making bolder movement, enchanting Hogwarts staff and students alike while turning some lessons into under the sea adventures and food fights between Captain Hook and Peter Pan. As wave after wave of fairy tale character popped into existence, the effects were not permanent and each enchanted student and professor returned to their usual selves. This all only seemed to encourage the book to grow more bold, releasing pixies in the Ravenclaw common room, a troll during a Potions lesson, and a giant beanstalk straight through the Groundskeeper’s hut.

With the school thrown into a magical chaos, it was no wonder that The Fairy Tale Book of Fairy Tales was brought up at Mr. Kitridge’s Book Club Meeting. All the club’s participants began an extensive search for the book throughout the castle, and while the book made its presence known, everyone returned to the library empty handed. Cue the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked buns coming from the Restricted Section! Unable to resist the smell, everyone moved to the Restricted Section where it was discovered that smell was being produced by none other than The Fairy Tale Book of Fairy Tales. The book released another flock of pixies at the group, soon followed by a herd of magic carpets.

Dealing with all these obstacles with counter attacks of their own, nothing seemed to work against the fairy tale book’s magic except for some sarcastic words uttered by the very girl who had started it all - Alexa Cambridge. Instead of clawing and biting, the pixies began braiding hair and kissing people while the magic carpets started dancing with their captive partners. From the book, hordes of frogs - chocolate and regular alike - hopped out of the pages and tried to sneak kisses from anyone who would let them. When the Head Girl said the magic phrase again, the pixies and carpets vanished and were replaced by singing flowers. It was quickly determined that saying the words “happily ever after” provided the sort of counterspell needed to put the book to rest, as that was precisely what the book had wanted to do all term - give the residents of Hogwarts their happily ever afters!

In a moment of unity, everyone present in the Restricted Section joined together in a chorus of “happily ever after.” In a shower of golden light and sparkle, all fairy tale elements that had been released from the book were gone and the book lay dormant on the table with its cover closed and not a giddy giggle in sight.

What happened to the students and staff of Hogwarts after this enchanting showdown? The all lived happily ever after - at least until the train back to London.
