Cinderella's Gone For Good

***Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Once again hope you like the story, I thought of the idea after listening to Britney Spear's third album. That is where the song is taken from. The song is in italics and it is called Cinderella. Don't worry the story has nothing to do with the Disney version of the story although it is very, very loosely based on it. Now on with the story!***

Chapter one: Meetings in the night

I hate my life, I have the worst boyfriend in the world, he tells me he loves me, but I know its only for show. I've tried to run away many times before, but he always finds me, and tells me if I try it again, he'll beat me up, which he has done many times before. At first it was wonderful, Harry and Ron excepted our relationship, it was difficult for them, I know, but I'm glad they understood. But as time passed he got more and more offensive towards me. We have our arguments, like every couple do, but know instead of shouting verbal abuse at me, he does it with physical abuse as well, and I've got the bruises to prove it. I'm so afraid of him that I haven't told anyone. Ron doesn't really notice, but Harry does, every night he asks me am I o.k. and I reply with the same old answer, fine, everything's fine. But really its not. I cry myself to sleep every night. Most of my other friends have stopped talking to me, because of the state I'm in. I just cant take it anymore.

I used to be your girlfriend and I know I did it well
Oh yes, you know it's true
You called me Cinderella, all you had to do was yell
And I'd be there for you
Here I am, so try to forgive me
I don't believe in fairytales
Here we are with nothing but honesty
I've had enough, I'm not gonna stay

I'm sorry for running away like this
And I'm sorry I've already made my wish
Aah, (but Cinderella's got to go)

Right now I'm on my way to meet him. I don't know why I just stop and turn around and tell everything to Harry and Ron. But Ron's out with Lavender, and Harry's on detention with Snape. As I turn the corner leading to the empty classroom where we have been meeting for the past month, I feel someone grab my arm and pull me into another room. I struggle to get free but my attempts are in vain, its no use. I hear the door slam shut behind me and as its so dark I cant see a thing. Finally my arm is set free. I pull out my wand and run towards the direction of the door. I point at the lock and shout Alohomora. Its no use, the spell that has been apparently put on the door is to strong to break.

From time to time I tried to tell just what was on my mind
You told me not today
Come back, do that, where's Cinderella at
Was all you had to say
Here I am, so try to forgive me
I don't believe in fairytales
Here we are with nothing but honesty
I've had enough, I'm not gonna stay

I hear a noise and spin round, my wand up in front of me.

"Who's there?" I yell into the darkness, hoping to here a reply.

"Guess" came the cold reply, I knew that voice.

"What do you want Draco, I thought we were supposed to meet in the same classroom we always do"

"I thought changing it a bit, got a problem with that?"

His voice started to rise, he was getting angry again, and I knew what was coming. I lowered my wand but kept it by my side, just in case. Every other time he came at me he used to get it out of my robes himself and then throw it aside, then he'd beat me up and then give it back and leave me there on my own.

I'm sorry for running away like this
And I'm sorry I've already made my wish
Aah, (but Cinderella's got to go)
I'm sorry, just trying to live my life
Don't worry, you're gonna be alright
But Cinderella's got to go

I could here his footsteps, he was coming closer to me. The only difference this time was that I was ready for him, I wouldn't just let him push me around any more. I was going to stand my ground and fight him. If I had too.

"Now lets get rid of that little wand of yours shall we?"

I didn't say anything, I just kept perfectly still, but as he bent down to get it out of my robes, I kicked him were it hurt the most, you got it, right in the groin. Instantly he doubled over in pain and fell back on the floor.

I used to say I want you
You cast me in your spell
I did everything you wanted me to
But now I shall break free from all your lies
I won't be blind you see
My love, it can't be sacrificed
I won't return to thee

I'm so sorry
I've already made up my mind
I won't return to thee

"I'm not taking it anymore Draco, you can call me what you want, I don't care, but I am never letting you beat me up again!" I screamed at him.

He looked up and sneered at me. He picked himself up off the floor and again walked over to me, but before I could cast a spell on him he had managed to grab my wand and put it inside his own robes. He picked me up and threw me across the room. As I landed on the cold, stone floor, I heard a crack. My wrist was broken. Thankfully it was my left, so I would still be able to write. I grabbed a near by chair and pulled myself up. Again he waited for me to stand and then came at me.

A/N: next chapter coming very soon. I'm a bit stuck I would really appreciate any ideas! Please, please review, and no flames! Thanks!

Bye for now
