A/N: Hey y'all its been a while. I'm sorry! My writing juices said goodbye for a while but I'm officially back! 

I pull up her sleeve further, her arm is covered in scars and bruises, but one sticks out. It's a hand shaped bruise. "Mi-yeong..." I say her name quietly. She looks away, ashamed. "Mi-yeong... look at me please..." I say, my brows furrow, I'm extremely worried for her. "Y/N I swear I didn't mean it I-" I cut her off by wrapping her in a hug. "Don't you dare continue that. None of this is your fault. None of it." I say sternly but in a comforting way. She wraps her arms around me burying her face in my shoulder. "Shh it's okay, it's okay." I say, hugging her tightly. "Sit down please?" I ask her, moving to my bed. She does as I say, her eyes filled with the tears she's trying to bite back. "Listen Mi-yeong, you don't have to tell me but-" She cuts me off. "No I will, I just need a moment to figure out how... it's not exactly a comforting topic..." She fades off. Something is clearly bothering her. "Hey it's okay take your time. I'll make some tea, okay?" I say. 

I move putting the tea kettle in my room on boil and setting up two mugs for us.  I use an animation charm to animate the spoons and kettle who make the tea themselves as I grab a hoodie for her handing it to her, I grab snacks and sit down next to her. 

After a few minutes I grab the mugs sitting down once more I hand it to her. She's shaking and looks as if she could faint at any minute. "You okay?" She looks pale, as if she's unable to process what's going on. "Why aren't you shouting?" She asks, looking down her hands shaking as she holds the mug. "Shout? Why would I shout?" I ask then I realize, oh shit, she usually get's shouted at for things like this. "Hey... I know it's what you're used to but I swear to you, I will not shout at you for something that isn't your fault, okay? None of any of what's happened is your fault. You don't deserve the pain, do you understand me?" I say in a stern but still comforting way. "Now, I'm ready to listen, when you're ready to tell." I say, sitting down, I grab her empty hand in mine, rubbing my thumb up and down on the back of her hand to give her just a little bit of comfort. 

The silence is so loud, the ticking of my clock, the talk outside, the wind howling. After a moment she finally speaks. "Where do I start... um..." She fades off, it's clearly difficult for her to talk. "Okay, do you want to tell me how you got the bruises?" I ask. "Well... they're from my dad... he's not the um... nicest guy..." She says clearly struggling. "Why? Does he hit you?" I ask. "Yes... and he does because he's an alcoholic..." She says. Oh god... that's exactly how I remember Uncle Sirius's family, a bunch of narcissistic abusive assholes.

"Mi-yeong... you don't deserve it..." I say my brows furrowing as I look at her, she's holding back tears. "You can cry darling... it's okay... you're allowed to cry." I say, my hand comes up and she flinches away. "Shit sorry... can I touch you..?" I ask her, moving my hand back, she nods and immediately begins to cry, i move my hand onto her cheek, wiping away her tears with my thumb. She puts down the tea and wraps her arms around my waist and buries her head in my shoulder, I feel my shoulder become wet and warm, she's crying. "Shh It's okay, you're okay now, I won't let anyone hurt you." I move my hand into her dark hair, stoking it in a comforting way. "You don't have to speak about it... I completely understand it's okay darling." I say, kissing the top of her head as she cries. 

After a while she stops crying, wiping away her tears, she breathes in deeply. "I-I'm so so sorry..." She says, her eyes are red and puffy from crying. "No. Do not be sorry. You did nothing wrong, absolutely nothing. " I say, I play with her hair. "Listen to me, next time, you stay at school here with me, okay?" I say, she pulls away nodding. "I love you, no homo" I smile. "Love you too..." She says and I smile.
