Chapter 4:

"You... can't be here. You don't know... what... what this means. I can't be here. I have to go. Home. Take-take me home." Lee murmurs and stutters. Images flash across her mind. When she was young and her mother would slap her, stealing and running from cops, meeting Scorpius, seeing Malfoy Manor, falling over and Scorpius angry. Her eyes feel glued shut but she manages to speak. "Take. Me. Home." "Oh Sweetie, you don't have a home. Now come say hello to Mommy." She doesn't want to. She uses all her willpower not to step forward but her body betrays her. The woman that she used to call her mother stretches her arms out for a hug. Unwillingly Lee is folded into a hug. The funny part is she finds herself hugging back. After all these years... No! Lee won't stand for it. Hate erupts in her. She throws her mother away from her and runs to Scorpius. The boy she thought she could trust. "How dare you!" She yells. He smirks. She tries to run. Running seems like all she ever does. But every door, the only hopes of escape, slam shut without even touching them. She's trapped.
