The Idea of this story came from A Cinderella Story. And J.K Owns the Harry Potter People, except for a few of Hermione's friends.

"Come on sleeping beauty wake up!" Said one of the house helpers; Nelly. Nelly was Hermione's favorite helper; she has been there since Mrs. Granger has died. Hermione only ten years old turned over and stepped out of the worm cozy bed. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the calendar… It was marked of her father's homecoming. He had gone away for work.

Hermione looked up sharply, "Daddies coming home today!" she yelled. Nelly laughed, nodding and smiling.

"Yes, little princess he is, and he said he is bringing home a BIG surprise! And he wants you in your very best dress." Nelly said, looking through Hermione's closet. "How about, the blue and pink dress?"

"Oh, Yes! That is daddy's favorite one on me!" Hermione yelled, happily. With in twenty minutes Hermione was wearing a baby blue dress, with pink ribbon around the bust to form in to a bow in the back, and with pink ribbon trimming around the neck, arms, and the bell of the dress.

"How do I look Nelly?" Hermione asked turning around.

"You look like a princess, Hermione." Nelly barely got that out as one of the stable men outside started to yell, 'Master is coming! Master is coming!'

Every one ran outside to meet Mr. Granger and (although they did not know it) the new Miss. Granger. The black carriage with the black mustang stallions came soaring up the lain. Every person in the house was outside, waiting for him. When the carriage stopped, Mr. Granger Stepped out then turned to take the hand of his new wife.

Hermione ran up to him after the woman was well out of the carriage. "Daddy, Daddy! Your back!" she jumped and gave a big hug to her dad.

"Yes, and I have a surprise for you…" he turned towards the lady he just helped out. "This is your new stepmother, and you have two step sisters." Two girls came out of the carriage.

"Hello, my name is Hermione, what is yours?" Hermione asked trying to be friendly. Hermione watched as Padma and Parvati looked at each other with a smile and then turn back to face her.

"This is Padma, and I am Parvati." They paused pointing to there mum. "And this is our mum."

"I am glad you three are getting along, but I have to go to town, for some business."

Hermione looked up quickly, "But, Daddy you just got here."

"Yes, Darling we just got here… let's go have some tea first." Said her new mother.

"Ok, I can't fight agents the two women I love in this world." He said sitting down for tea. Hermione eyed her step mom, she felt like she was doing something wrong. Then Hermione saw a flask, a lot like the ones her mum had to hold a potion. Her new step mom pored what was in it in to her dads drink.

Her dad went to take a drink… "DADDY DON'T!" But she was too late; he drank it, all of it. Her Dad dropped out of his chair. Hermione started to scream and cry, when Nelly came running around the corner seeing Hermione over her dead father's body she started to cry.

"Hermione, we need to get him to the barrel sight. Come on, it will be ok."

Hermione put on a black dress and fallowed her most trusted friend to her father's funeral, where she said goodbye, and was handed to her step mom…who wanted nothing to do with her.

On the way home Hermione's new mom decided to lay down some new rules. "Hermione, you will have chores to do now, and you will have to do all of them. Your fathers gone and he is not coming back. He is nothing now. So let go. You are now our new help. And you will be sleeping in the kitchens like the other filth, and you will have a change of clothes." She laughed an evil laugh as she watched Hermione cry.
