A/N: What did y'all think of that last chapter? I'm getting the lyrics for 'How Do I Live?' which is the inspiration for this story. Thanks to Jennifer who reviewed! I love those! And a special thanks to Laura, who helped me, A LOT!

Chapter 3: We've Got Magic to Do.

Hermione Granger is my childhood friend. Okay, you may be wondering how she's at my side, right after I said her name. Well, it's because when we were at Hogwarts, we were the smartest in our year. So we got this book from the restricted section of the library, and attempted to try this advanced spell…I can't even remember what it was called. It backfired, and now whenever one of us whispers the others name, we're transported to the side of the friend in need. Weird, but useful.

She looked at me, concerned. I had tears in my eyes and hay in my hair.

"Hermione, she's bloody horrid. It was twice today. Twice she hit me. She also called me her 'servant girl'. She doesn't even acknowledge the fact that I am her step-daughter, even though she 'loved' my father," I explained. Then the thought of her kissing my daddy brought a disgusted look to my face.

Hermione laughed at my look. "Did anything good happen today?" She asked sitting down next to me. "Something must have gone right. And I heard about your daddy. I'm so sorry."

"Thanks. And yes, something good did happen today," I touched my lips. "Should I kiss and tell?"

Hermione squealed and hugged me. "OK, who is he?" she asked, placing herself directly in front of me waiting for the juicy details.

"I really don't know his name..." I started, looking towards the stars.

"What? How do you kiss a guy and not know his name? Have I taught you nothing? Then what did he look like?" Hermione asked, with a concerned look upon her lovely face.

"Gorgeous green - no, emerald - eyes and messy black hair. He stood at about 6'4' and looked fit. Like 6-pack fit," I explained, envisioning the knight in my mind.

"Ohhhh, sexy," Hermione said, but she thought something very different. 'Oh, Harry, you sly dog. I must owl you, my friend.'

"He saw me in a meadow from his window. When I asked who he was, he said 'Your knight in shining armor,' so when he asked me my name, I gave him the nickname that you and daddy gave me," I smiled. Her jaw dropped.

"You told him your name was Cinderella? Hahaha! What did he say?"

"He said he liked it!"

---------Meanwhile---------
(3rd person)

"Hey Ron!" Harry said, slapping the back of his best friend.

"What's her name?" Ron asked, smiling.

"I beg your pardon?" Harry Potter, Prince of Gryffindor asked.

"You are very happy. I know that tone," Ron Weasley said.

"Okay. You caught me. I met a beautiful girl. I think she was a peasant. She had black hair and beautiful blue eyes. She was... is... the most beautiful woman in the entire kingdom. Even of all four kingdoms," Harry said, replaying the kiss in his mind.

"Even more beautiful than the Lady Cho Chang?" Ron smirked.

"Cho Chang couldn't hold a candle to this girl," Harry said sitting down.

"What's her name?" Ron asked. 'This girl sounds familiar...' he thought.

"She gave me a nickname."

"What did she say?"

"Cinderella."

'Ella! Ha! Harry Potter has fallen for his godfather's daughter. Hermione's best friend.'

"Ron? Don't think so hard, mate. I can see smoke coming out of your ears," Harry joked.

"If you'll excuse me, I have a date with Hermione."

---------Back with Ella and Hermione---------
(1st Person - Ella)

"Oh, Hermione! Look, its Ron!" I exclaimed. Ron was a friend of mine as well as Hermione's boyfriend.

"Hello, ladies! Did Destiny hit you today? Sorry, but there is a red handprint on your face," Ron said.

"Twice today. But, it's okay! I'm in love!" I said. "I better get home; don't want to get hurt again." I left the two lovebirds for their date.

---------Hermione and Ron---------
(3rd person)

"'Mione, I talked to Harry. He's in love with Ella. He was practically singing," Ron said.

"He told her his name... wait he didn't give his name, just a title," Hermione scoffed.

"What, 'His Highness'?" Ron asked.

"No, when she asked who he was, he said, 'Your knight in shining armor'," Hermione explained.

"They don't know what they're in for," Ron laughed.

"They meet again tomorrow at twelve, but Destiny's daughters are here for the ball," Hermione said.

"What are we going to do?" Ron asked.

"Get our Cinderella to the ball."

I love happy endings. I love fairy tales! Read and review!
