Live in her shoes

prologue

Sophie Clevenger had lived her entire life in fear. Her parents were strict and abusive, and they demanded nothing less than perfection from their daughter. They wanted Sophie to be the best, to excel at everything she did, and to make them proud.

But Sophie was different. She had always felt like an outsider, like she didn't belong in the world her parents had created for her. And when she received her acceptance letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it felt like a lifeline. It was a chance for Sophie to escape the abuse and find a new life.

Sophie was sorted into Slytherin house, just like her parents had wanted. But even in the dark, cold corridors of the Slytherin common room, she felt like a small spark of light. She was determined to be her own person, to forge her own path, and to prove to herself that she was worth more than her parents had led her to believe.

At first, Sophie had a hard time fitting in at Hogwarts. She struggled to make friends, and she was constantly bullied by the other Slytherin students. They saw her as weak, as unworthy of her place in Slytherin house. Even her own parents seemed disappointed in her, telling her that she needed to work harder to prove herself.

But Sophie refused to give up. She threw herself into her studies, hoping to find solace in the familiarity of books and spells. And as she studied, she began to realize that she had a talent for magic that surpassed even her own expectations.

It wasn't long before people began to take notice of Sophie's talent. Her professors praised her work, and her classmates began to pay attention to her. Even the other Slytherin students started to treat her with a newfound respect.

But there was one person who stood out to Sophie above all the others: a boy named Tom Riddle. He was handsome, clever, and terrifyingly ambitious. He was everything that Sophie was not, and yet she found herself drawn to him.

Tom was impressed by Sophie's talent, and he was intrigued by her determination. He saw something in her that no one else did, and he wanted to help her realize her full potential.

As they grew closer, Sophie began to confide in Tom about her abusive parents. She had never told anyone about the true nature of her home life, but with Tom, she felt safe. He listened to her, comforted her, and promised her that he would always be there for her.

But as time went on, Sophie began to see a darker side of Tom. He became more and more aggressive, more ruthless in his pursuit of power. He began to manipulate Sophie, using her loyalty to him to further his own goals.

Sophie was torn. She wanted to believe that Tom was still the kind boy she had grown to love, but she couldn't ignore the red flags anymore. She knew that she needed to get out of their toxic relationship, but she didn't know how.

In the end, it was a combination of her own strength and the help of her true friends that allowed Sophie to break free from Tom's grasp. She refused to be a pawn in his game, and she walked away from him once and for all.

Sophie went on to become one of the most talented witches in Hogwarts history, and she used her talents to help bring about change in the wizarding world. She was determined to never let her abusive past define her, and she used her experiences to help others who had gone through similar trauma.

Sophie may have started out as a pawn in her parent's game, but she ended up becoming the hero of her own story. And as she looked out over the rolling hills of Hogwarts, she knew that she had found a home that would never judge her for her past, but would always celebrate her for who she truly was.

She smiled to herself, feeling a sense of pride and satisfaction. Life during her study at hogwarts was not easy, but it was worth it. And Sophie knew that she was just getting started. There was still so much work to be done, and she was ready to take on whatever challenges lay ahead.
