Loving Her (Harry Potter Love Story)

chapter 22

" YOU BITCH" Scarlett's mother Veronica green screamed. Her hand raised to hit Scarlett's cheek and the room echoed at the impact.

Scarlett fell to the floor with the force. She hit her head hard on the banister of the stairs. " takes one to know one" she muttered , raising her head to glare at her mother.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY" her father Garreth roared , picking her up by her hair. She swore it would nearly rip off .

It had been like this for two days. But she still stood by what she did , it was the right thing. "I said " she chuckled darkly " it that's a bitch to know one".
That earned her a punch to the jaw. She could taste the blood in her mouth. Without thinking of the consequences she spat the blood onto her fathers face.

The next thing she knew he had dropped her back on the ground.

"Crucio" he shouted.

The pain hit her instantly. It was like white hot needles piercing through all of her body. Each cell was on fire. She gritted her teeth refusing to scream like they wanted her to. She locked eyes with her parents. If looks could kill then they would be six feet under. Soon her mother joined in making her close her eyes shut on agony.

That was the last thing she remembered before the darkness took her.

********************

Harry had spent the last few days worrying for his friend. Her home life wasn't the best and everyone knew it. It was like a silent rule of Hogwarts never to mention it though.

Ron and Hermione had been trying to take his mind off it by reminding him that Christmas was soon and he would spent it with Sirius. It had helped slightly.

But tonight his dreams were different.

He was slithering down the dark hallway and the door was opened. The shelves were filled with blue glowing crystal balls.

It was as if he was looking for something particular. But something caught his eye.

Mr. Arthur weasely was walking down the hall to. His wand in his hand.

He slithered towards Mr weasley. One moment he was standing the next he was on the floor bleeding from his leg. He was screaming in pain.

Harry woke up just as he was about to attack again.

This one felt different , more real. He rushed to dumbledores office , yelling the password at the statue.

Dumbledore seemed to be expecting him.

After he told the headmaster about his dream he sent someone to help Mr weasley .

Next he sent McGonagall to wake the weasley children and Hermione and sent them back to grimmwalds place.
Sirius nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw them.

It had been a long night filled with worry. They had all sat by the fire in the living room.

Sirius had gotten them all butterbeers but they could barely touch it. It wasn't until early morning when they got word that Mr weasley was going to be OK that they relaxed.

They were aloud to go visit him at st Mungo's hospital that morning.

Mr weasley was as pale as a sheet with bandages all over his leg. But despite all this the man seemed to be in good humour. At least he would be back for Christmas.

Meanwhile Scarlett was only getting worse. She now knew that of she had to leave and it had to be soon if she wanted to survive the year.
