eight girls (Hogwarts life) ( short stories )

Iris Tate John , seventh year

7th year

My father is shouting at Butler Jones , as he had packed the car with my case and I am sat in the back seat of the car so I couldn't  hear what it was all about but my father raised his hand and smacked Butler Jones across the face making him fall on the floor cupping his face. My father stormed over to the car , flung the door open and roughly graded my upper left arm and dragged me to my room up all the stares , tears pooled my eyes and blurred my vision but I was not going to let him see me cry . He chucked me into my bedroom followed by my cases and bags most of them hit me but the worse was the big heavy case that landed on my left arm . I screamed out in pain and finally let the tears flow I saw my mother behind my father she tried to get through but he grabbed her "NO!" I screamed but my father slammed my door shut. I stumbled over to it holding my left arm , I tried the handle but it wouldn't open. I started to bang and bang on the door screaming as tears ran down my red swollen cheeks. it was all no use , I tuned around and slid down the door and looked down at my left arm to find it all covered in purple and blue bruises. I touched it and a painful sting rang up my arm to the rest of my body I tried to move my hand but noting only little movements in the tips of my fingers. I guessed I had broken my arm. I sighed giving up all hope but that is when I remembered when me and Draco where locked in the owerly and that charm he used to unlock the door. 'Alohomora' I think that's what he said , so I started to look for my wand after I had wrapped one of my dresses to support and act like a sling for my left arm. I couldn't find my wand anywhere and I can't remember where I had it last as I was sure it was on me or in my bag. I finally found it under my bed , it must of fell out my pocket and rolled under there when my father flung me in here. I had my wand in my right hand I faced the door but stopped when I though about what lied on the other side an angry father , lord voldermort at rise and probably a war. But I wanted to get out and save my mother and the staff but I knew now was not he time as it is still morning and that I should have an escape plan and wait till everyone is asleep ,well mainly my father than make a run for it.
Finally it was the day , it has now been quite a while I have not been allowed out but mrs Grayson gives me my meals like instructed by my father the meals are toast with butter and a glass of milk for breakfast , ham sandwich and apple juice for dinner and stew and water for tea.
To night I make my escape, I have found the only staff working are mrs Grayson and some house elves . mrs Grayson has already convinced most of the house elves to come and escape with us. my main problem Is to help my mother I have not seen or heard from her or even the staff talk about her , so I am really in the dark on how to save her but I will , I have to.
Night fell and the plan was set in motions mrs Grayson and the house elves have already left apart from the ones who stayed. Now I just need to get the door unlocked and free my mother. I took the stance in front of my bedroom door with my left arm still in the sling I made it out of an old dress, and said " Alohormora!" and waited for the click once done I opened the door slowly and had my bag on my back which I had packed with the essentials such as: food , drink , clothes and money mrs Grayson also packed a bag for my mother she said she hid it in one of the cupboards in the kitchen. so I made my way slowly and softly down the spiral staircase and once I was on the ground floor I turned left going around the staircase to the door under the stairs I opened it and made my way down to the staff kitchen . It was dark , cold and falling apart. I rushed and opened every cupboard but nothing, finally it came down to the last one the cupboard under the sink I thought it was a false cupboard but tried it anyway and it opened to reveal another back pack I opened the bag and saw some of my mothers things. I put it over my right shoulder. "now all I have to do is find mum." I said to myself I looked in all the rooms but didn't find her, the only rooms I haven't looked is my parents room , my fathers office and the basement . To scared to go down the basement and also there's nothing down there I don't think , never been down there I have always been too scared . So I went to my fathers office , the door was open a little bit and I cloud hear him on the phone I guessed my mother was not in there as no one goes in there other than my father and the men that come to make business with my father. I smiled to myself glad that he's here and not in their bedroom as that would make things hard. Once I made it to their bedroom the door was locked so I unlocked it with that charm , I stepped into the room to find my mother sleeping in the bed I rushed over to wake her up but nothing worked she wouldn't wake. In disbelief I shock my head and sobbed silently not wanting my father to hear me "no no no. mummy please wake up ... please!" I shock her and still nothing. I dropped her bag off my shoulder and started to root through it hoping to find something but nothing I stated to root though the room making it a mess hoping for something , I stopped at my mother's vanity table and sat in the seat looking in the mirror anger consumed me , as I looked in the mirror all I could see was my mother , so I smashed the mirror and it scatted around the room into small fragments . I was shacking from all the emotions and how strong they are . I walked over to the bed and slumped down and reached for my mothers hand to find a piece of paper I stopped crying and took it out her hand and unrolled it , it said 'my dear baby Iris , if you are reading this than what I feared came true I am truly sorry that I can't be there for you anymore , but I know you will do what's right and be my little princess . Never forget that mummy loves you and you are the only reason I had to live , so thank you Iris , thank you for being the light and for loving me though I rarely shown you enough love . I have left the number for the ministry of magic by the phone , I know its hard but I will always be with you no matter what. With great love Esme John.' I dropped the letter and kissed my mother on her head "I love you too , mummy always will always have , no matter what." a single tear slipped out of my eye I whipped it way so I didn't land on her face. I got up my legs wobbly and I found it really hard to breath and that the air was ice cold cutting my throat and lungs. I made it to the phone and like mum's note said there was a piece of paper hidden with a number on it I called the number and my shacking hand clung onto the phone. Once the phone call was done a couple of minutes later and the front door was getting banged through. I walked over to the window and watched as wizards broke down the door and ran into the house, I heard my father's heavy foot steps come down from his office and to the bedroom door . Then he walked in, anger consumed him as his face was all twisted , I walked back wards not being able to take my eyes off him not wanting to either. Just as he was inches away from me a young woman wizard barged in and held her wand up to the monster.
