'Once upon a time, in the hidden heart of England, a handsome young wizard lived in a beautiful mansion. Although he had everything his heart desired, the wizard was selfish and unkind...' A 'Beauty and the Beast' crossover, featuring Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy. Cover & Banner: Designed by @whatafuck_graphics

We all know the story of Beauty and the Beast. This story follows the outline of the traditional story pretty well with some changes to make it seems more real, more intense, and not such a fairytale. There's a Mansion secluded in the thick forest south of town that Isabelle happened to run into one very stormy night. Denied help from the Master, but aided by the servants, she finds her life intertwined with theirs and there's nothing she can do to stop it. The Master is horrible - beastly. He's powerful, and manages to put Isabelle under a spell of his own. A story of two people learning about themselves by falling in love with the other. Here's my version of Beauty and the Beast.

Allura means beauty. Though she is trapped in her father's service, she learns to be free in her imagination, in her singing and books. When her father is held hostage by a strange red-eyed beast and sells Allura for his own freedom, Allura faces the choice to rescue him or to take her chance for liberation. She chooses the path of love and is given a magic blessing in the form of a rose to take with her. What will she find? Her death? Or perhaps true love?

Author Note: This story was written because of a task I recently took on to re-write a favourite fairy tale. I chose this one because my Mother used to tell it to me all the time as a child without a book to read from. I loved it and it makes me remember her with happy memories even though she has now joined the mysterious after-life.

Ella's always been a simple child. She didn't want anything other than a book in her hands and her brother by her side. When her brother finally figures out his invention and ventures out to find someone to buy it, he doesn't return. A creepy mansion, some talking furniture and, oh yeah, a giant animal big enough to kill her with one big step. What's the worst that could happen? This is a retelling of the fairytale Beauty and the Beast.

No one knew what she looked like, and the ones who did called her Beauty. She always wore her red cloak, covering her face as if she was ashamed or shy. Everyday she would get a book from the library and return the one from the day before. She would walk into the woods and wouldn't return until night fall. But when she leaves and doesn't return people begin to worry, and ask, what happened to Belle? A twist of Red Riding Hood and Beauty and The Beast. #1 in FaryTale! #3 in Red Riding Hood!

This story is similar to the beauty and the beast story but takes place in modern times. Isabelle Beaumont is nineteen years old and absolutely beautiful. Her brown hair reaches all the way to her waist and her green eyes are breathtaking; as told to her by a very annoying and very stubborn Stephan. She visits her grandmother in France and is once again told the story of the untamed beast. The legend says that many years ago when knights and mythical creatures walked the earth there was an untamed beast who vanquished an entire kingdom and to this day still lives in the castle. It is said the only way to tame the beast is to show it how to love. Belle finds this childish but when her grandmother is taken by the beast her only choice is to take her place and stay. Will Belle be able to escape or will feelings grow?
