*~Cinderella~*
~*Chapter One*~
Summary: **rewritten** This is a Harry Potter version of the famous Disney movie Cinderella.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, the Cinderella story, or anything in this except the idea.
Author's Note: This was written before, but was deleted when FF.Net decided to get rid of the Harry Potter Author Fics section, as were three of my other stories. So, I decided to climb out of my Too-Lazy-to-Write hole and rewrite this puppy.
This chapter is longer than the original version of the 1st chapter, but it's still short. Sorry about that. But there's only so much you can add. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the newly rewritten version of Cinderella! Aren't the little tree things cool?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Pansy. Pansy was extremely evil. And I'm not talking about pulls-the-wings-off-a-flies evil, either. She hated everyone and everything except her two best friends, Jack and Jill. Don't get too excited: Jack was a hatchet and Jill was an ax. With Jack and Jill, she liked to destroy things. Because of this she was expelled from Hogwarts.
Most people say that she was born evil (which was the truth). The nice people said she was angry that her mother, Minerva, died when she was seven and took it out on inanimate objects (in reality, they believe the former, but they just said the latter because they were, as previously mentioned, nice).
Pansy's father, Percy, who was very wealthy, loved his daughter, Pansy, very much (despite her being a destructive little ball of hate) and Pansy loved him back, in her own hateful and troublesome way. Because she loved her father so much, she punched him only ten times instead of her usual fifteen when he said anything she disagreed with or did something she didn't like.

Penelope Clearwater lived in a tiny shack with her three sons, Ron, Fred, and George. She use to live a middle-class life until her husband, Albus, quit his job and used practically all their money to help against the discrimination of Muggleborns and Squibs. A few months after they moved into their tiny, little shack out in the middle of nowhere-ville, Albus 'mysteriously' died and Penelope was seen by a Muggle burning a muddy and tattered robe which had a rather large red stain on it. The Muggle was never seen again.

Queen Ginny Weasley of England lived a fairly happy life until her arranged marriage to Prince Gregory Goyle of France at age seventeen. There are quite a few reasons she was not very happy with her married life: Her husband is Goyle. She had an arranged marriage. She didn't know who her husband was until her wedding day (that was quite an unhappy surprised). Her husband is Goyle. She is married to a man who has the IQ of a potato. Oh, and did I mention that her husband is Goyle?
Despite her husband's lack of IQ points, she does experience some happiness. According to rumor, all happiness she experiences is brought about by the one (and unfortunately the only) Draco Malfoy, the way overpaid Messenger Boy. But whether this rumor is true or not, well, that's another story.

King Gregory Goyle of Luxembourg is now, always was, and always will be an imbecile. He had an arranged marriage to Princess Ginny of England. The whole kingdom knows he's an imbecile and about the queen's great disliking of him.
The public, at first, thought he couldn't be as stupid as he looked. No one could possibly be that stupid, right? Wrong. After about a week after their marriage the public thought him a fool.
A wise man once said, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."*
Well, apparently, King Gregory Goyle of England has never heard that statement. Much to her dismay, he keeps telling Queen Ginny to owl her even though they live on the same property (I say 'property' because Ginny makes him sleep outside).
Needless to say now the whole public knows he's a simpleton.

Queen Ginny and King Goyle have five children: Prince Vincent Crabbe and the Princesses Hermione, Angelina, Alicia, and Myrtle. The Princess Angelina and Princess Alicia are twins.
Princess Hermione is, by far, the smartest. She is a human library. If anyone in the whole palace ever needs any information on anything, everyone will tell you to ask Hermione. She'll know. And if she doesn't know, you win £50** from the servants.
Princesses Angelina and Alicia are, considered by many, the prettiest. They're Chasers on the Royal Quidditch Team.
Princess "Moaning" Myrtle is dead. She had a little run-in with a Basilisk. She moans not because she's dead, but because even in death she cannot escape the stupidity of her father, who after five years still hasn't figured out why she suddenly became semi-transparent.
And Prince Crabbe is the oldest. He is seventeen and still hasn't found a wife. No sober woman would want him and no king will let him marry his daughter, treaty or no. He is a bumbling idiot and there are many bets on whether who has the lower IQ, he or his father. Who it is, even I don't know.
Queen Ginny tries to avoid her son as much as possible. Though she constantly reminds herself that it was the king who gave him his stupidity, and that it wasn't her fault, she still can't help wallowing in self-pity after she sees him, dwelling over the fact that she birthed an idiot.

**I hope I used the correct symbol for pounds. If I didn't, that's supposed to say fifty pounds. I think one pound is worth about a $1.55. At least, that's what it says at moneycentral.msn.com. So I think that would be about $77.20. Of course, I could be reading the chart wrong and it actually says $1 equals £1.55. In which case, it would equal ::takes out calculator:: $32.26 (I think).
A/N: LALALA! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this. My dad sure did. (I walked away from the computer and he sat down and started reading.)
Yeah, this was just an introduction to the characters. The next chapter will have some sort of plot, I think. I can't really remember. It's been awhile since I've written this.
