To love hate ( Severus Snape and Morgana Pierce)

Abundence of Nature

Albus had warned me about the dangers of the forbidden forest , he mentioned that it isn't wise to set foot there , especially at night. As I look from my bedroom window i couldn't help the feeling of curiosity that came with it - what dangers are lurking there , or are there even dangers at all.
Curiosity always seems to get the better of me , but maybe another night - when I'm not scared out of my wits I'll take my chances

As soon as my head hit the pillow , I fell into a deep sleep . I didn't know how tired i was

- he hit me . Then again . He seem to like seeing me hurt - the lust in his eyes was a disturbing thought as he pressed himself against me. I was trapped , he was cornering me - crushing me with his weight. As he leaned down to kiss me I could smell the alcohol on his breath. I moved my head away from him , not wanting him to touch me - I wished with all my might he was gone , that he would leave me alone. The torturing continued-

I woke up breathing heavily and covered in a layer of sweat . I had always had nightmares of my past , but they weren't as visual as this one . Nor did they effect me , but with this particular dream I could feel every thing he did to me - like it was happening all over again .

I lay in my bed for about an hour recovering from the incident . My mind full of questions , yet not many answers were available. I eventually decided to take a shower , maybe wash off the pain of what happened. I walk into the bathroom , not bothering closing the door. I take my pjs off and look at myself in the mirror . If there hadn't been so many scars from my past , I would've been happy with the way I looked. My womanly hourglass figure with willowing curves especially because of my height was a body to be proud of , but every time I looked at myself I couldn't help but remember all the terrible incidents . I wasn't proud of my scars - they reminded me of how weak I was - I got into the shower , standing there listening intently to the sound of the water as it warms me up, making me feel better in the process.

Water always seemed to make me feel better , whether by watching it or swimming . It had a calming effect on me. I remember from my younger days , myself in the pool with dad , laughing and giggling with not a care in the world, only enjoying the moment. I often remembered my parents , especially their voices, mum had a velvety tone while dad was more gruff . I remember their laughs , and often in bad times I would think of them and smile , remembering how happy they were.

More than once I would ask myself if they're proud of the woman I've become, If they'd be happy how I'm living my life today , without them . Somehow I'd always answer my question by thinking of the good I've done especially for younger women who were in my shoes , and how I've changed lives.

When I was finished with my thought provoking shower , I decided to make my way around the grounds, calm myself by visiting the black lake. I put on my comfy jeans and my favorite boots - it was Sunday after all - the morning air was very cool, definitely September weather. I casually walk around not really too sure where I was heading but enjoying the solitude nonetheless. As I walk on the grass , it crisps making crackling sounds as I move . It makes me smile , thinking how beautiful and peculiar nature is.

To my right is the owlerly , many stray owls live there , going in and out as they choose. I never owned an owl , not that I write too many letters. If I needed to write it was only to reply back from an already bought letter. I did however own a cat , Bluebell would often bring me packages from the post office- she stayed in London- there when I return from work for holidays.

To my left , in the far distance was Hagrid's house I presume , he's the gamekeeper, Albus also mentioned that he knows a lot about the creatures in the forest, I will definitely be asking him about that topic very soon.

Infront of me was the massive black lake , mysterious and gloomy as always. I make my way to a tree near the lake and sit down , breathing in the fresh air and the wooden scent from the forest. The scenery of dark silence infront of me made me speechless, I took in my surroundings, listening to all the different sounds of nature, breathing in the new scents , thankful of my new home.
