Rachel Marrie grew up in a little home in Austin Texas. With her mother being a paramedic and her father being a firefighter she was left figuring things out by herself. At the age of twelve Rachel lost her mother to cancer and that's when she decided to become a firefighter just like her father. Two years later her father passed away on a emergency call, and she was left by herself. Now at twenty years old something or more like someone changed her life drastically. Will she finally have someone to talk to or will she be left on her own again. *May contain violence * *I do not own any of these characters except for Rachel Marrie & Liam Mathews* *i do not own majority of the storyline. BUT i do own some of it*

Grace Parker has a secret. It's written on her arms and legs (and stomach, and collarbone, and third rib on the left...). Words? No. Stories? Sort of. The black and blue bruises left by her boyfriend could tell you all sorts of tales- like the time he hit her because she didn't answer him quick enough, or the time he thought her smiling at a boy who said hello to her deserved a bruised shoulder. Hogwarts might as well have been a prison while she was with him, but could a new boy in her life become her safe haven? *Golden-Trio Era* *Half-Blood Prince timeline* *Comments on my chapters give me much needed ✨affirmation✨🤪❤️* *Not a fan of Harry Potter? Don't go away! The Harry Potter aspect is subtle so that everyone, no matter their taste, can enjoy this story!* ***WARNING: This story deals with difficult topics that may not be suited for some readers (Strong Language, Abuse, Assault, etc.).*** If you or someone you know is suffering from abuse or sexual assault, please call the National Domestic Abuse Hotline ( 1-800-799-7233 ) or the National Sexual Assault Hotline ( 1-800-656-4673).
