Scars | Harry Potter x Reader (taking a pause)

Year 3: Letters

Once you got to the orphanage, Mrs. Evans yelled at you to take your luggage upstairs and to come down immediately after.

Once you got up to the attic you sighed placing down your luggage and went downstairs.

"I expect the floors spotless by the time I come back!" she yelled at you and walked out of the building.

You knew no matter how good you did, you were going to get punished. It was a rigged game that she made.

"Hi Y/n" you heard someone say.

You looked up to see the one and only Kyla.

"Hi" you said turning back to cleaning the floor.

"Where do you go all year?" she asked.

"I go to a boarding school."

"Oh"

"Why, are you mad that you don't get to bully me all year?"

"What no!" she said storming off.

Your time at Hogwarts had made you a lot more confident and better at standing up for yourself. A few hours had passed and you were finally done cleaning the floor so you walked up to the attic to start writing letters to Harry so when your hands didn't operate anymore, you weren't looking like you were ignoring him. Right when you were about to start you heard the door open so you went downstairs or else she would get mad at you because it was "bad manners" not to greet her.

You saw that she was with a man. He was tall with light brown hair and a short scruffy beard and you recognized him as Mr. Evans.

"Did you clean all of the floors?" Mrs. Evans asked sternly.

"Yes" you replied.

She then walked over to the cleaning supplies closet where you out the mop back.

"Why'd you put the mop in here?!" she yelled.

"Because it's where I always put it." you said shaking in fear.

"No I told you that the new cleaning closet is over there!" she yelled pointing at another closet and it wasn't true, she never told you that.

"You always do something wrong! Mr. Evans punish her for me while I go get food!" she said.

He then grabbed you by your next and pinned you against a wall (not in a sexual way) with his fingernails digging into your neck. You winced as he punched your eye giving you a black eye and threw you to the ground.

Tears were falling from your bruised up eyes and he said "stay there, I'll be back".

He was definitely drunk which made it worse and kicked you as he walked away.

When he came back, he had the leather belt in his hand and hit you 14 times with it until you blacked out.

You woke up on the floor the next morning and you were aching with pain. You winced as you finally stood up but to your luck, Mrs. Evans walked out of the kitchen.

You just walked past her to get food and she said "what are you doing?".

"Um having breakfast" you replied.

"No you're not" she said.

"Um yes I am" you replied sounding controlling.

"So you're going to talk back to me now?!"

"It's not talking back when I say I'm hungry."

She walked over to you and slapped you across the face and said "no food for a week".
