Today is move in day/move back in day at Hogwarts. I'm in year 6 and i've had the same room and same roommate, Pansy Parkinson, since year 1 so ik how it goes. We just got off of summer break. I don't have a great home life so this is more of a relief than anything. To say I don't have a great home life is a understatement, my father hates me, and not just me, my mom and my sister too. My mom doesn't leave because she thinks that he will change and my sister isn't old enough to come to Hogwarts yet.

My Father and I never had a good relationship. Not even when I was a baby. But when my sister was born he got more aggressive and violent. He started to... hurt me and my family. I've never told anyone because I was afraid of what would happen if I did so I haven't.

I got onto the Hogwarts Express and spotted my boyfriend sitting at the table with Draco, Blaise, and Pansy across from him and Theo next to him. I put my bags in the storage area and walked over.

"Hey y/n!" Pansy says standing up and giving a hug "I missed you so much! How was your summer?" she asks

"It was good! I missed you too. How was your summer?" i ask

"great!" she says sitting back down

"hey princess." Mattheo says getting up to hug me and gives me a peck on the lips

"Gross, Get a room." Draco says

"How are you wearing a sweater it's like 90 degrees" Theo asks

"I don't know. I just am" i say and Mattheo gives me a look but i brush it off.

The ride to Hogwarts felt short. The whole ride we were catching up with each other, talking about what we did, who we met and stuff like that. When we got to Hogwarts, Pansy and I went to settle back into our dorm room. A little bit later She wanted to got to Diagon Alley, she asked me to but i wasn't up for it. After she left there was a knock at the door.

"It's open!" i say. I had my back turned to my door unpacking a box. I felt 2 strong arms wrap around my waist. I flinch. His arms are wrapped right around my bruises.

"hey matty" i say trying to disguise the pain in my voice

" hey love" he says letting go. I breathe out a breath of relief "are you okay" he asks

" yeah why wouldn't i be?" I ask turning back to unpacking my box

"Well first off you're wearing a sweater in 90 degree weather and two you look sore." He states

"Are you suggesting something?" I ask accusingly (i don't think that's a word but it is now so)

"no....." he says

I walkover to my dresser and start to put my clothes in there. Suddenly I feel someone pick me up and put me on the bed.
"HEY" I yell. Mattheo starts to pull my sweater up "STOP MATTHEO" I yell

"No. I need to see what's wrong" he says pulling my sweat completely off. I stand up and try to cover myself with my arms.

"what the fuck mattheo!" I yell. I look at him and he's staring. He gets up and kneels on the floor to get face to face with my torso. He traces the out line of the bruises. He looks up at me and back down at my stomach and hugs me. I feel the tears start to fall. He stands up and wipes the tears from my eyes. I look into his eyes and he's crying.

"i'm so sorry. I didn't know" he says

"How could you have known?" i say wiping his tears like he'd done for me. There was a moment of silence.

"Who did this to you?" He asks breaking the silence

"It's fine, I'm fine." I say not wanting to admit what was really happening

"I won't ask again. Who. Did. This." he says with a dark look behind his eyes, a look i've never seen before.

"my dad" i say looking away from him, embarrassed.

"how long" he asks turning my face toward him

"how long what?" I ask

" y/n, stop playing dumb." He says

"i don't know, ummmmmm maybe since I was 4" I say

He takes a deep breath. "what about your mom and sister." he asks

"he does it to them too..." i whisper and look down

"How about next summer or the next holiday break we have, you and your mom and sister come and stay with me" he says

"I can't possibly ask you to do that" I say looking up at him

"Well you didn't ask I offered." he says bringing me into a hug

"Thank you so much Mattheo. I really can't thank you enough." i say

"It enough to know you and your family.. minus your dad, are safe" he says and lean in for a kiss
