- Author's Note:
- I want to thank Aieshya/Abby for being the greatest beta anyone could ask for, and Cassandra Claire, Lori, and the rest of The POU group, as well as AngieJ and the Paradise group, for directing me, however indirectly, to this site. Also, the prologue has little or no plot--fear not, plot is coming.
Whack!
I will not cry.
Whack!
It doesn't hurt that much
Whack!
Not as much as the whip does--at least it's only the riding crop.
Whack!
Remember last week?
Silence
Is that it? I'm surprised.
Crack!
The whip. Damn.
Crack!
All right, maybe throwing all the Dark Arts books in the lake wasn't such a great idea.
Crack!
But the look on Father's face…
Crack!
Y'know, this is really unusual. They haven't beaten me since I was ten, and then last week they get the whip out because I wrote an owl to Lily.
Crack!
How many of these is he going to do? Last week's was awful…
Crack!
Fifty beatings, all in the same place.
Crack!
I should just cry out. He'll keep doing it until I do.
Crack!
But I can't. I won't give him the satisfaction. Too damn proud, I guess. The curse of the Slytherin.
Crack!
I've drawn blood from biting down on my lip.
Crack!
I'm sure there's blood on my back as well… I won't be able to move 'til Easter, the way this is going.
Crack!
There goes going to the Valentine's Dance with Sirius Black. Oh well. Severus will be pleased.
Crack!
About the dance part. He doesn't like it when I get beaten, at least not anymore. I heard him arguing with Mother last week.
Crack!
Gods, when will it end?
Crack!
At least I've done something to deserve it…no more beatings for using the big fork for the salad.
Crack!
Please, let it end!
Crack!
No more!
Crack!
Gods, let it end! Let it end!
Well, that was a bit depressing, eh? The girl in question is supposed to be about 15/16, and it's around Christmas. Don't worry, the girl ends up fine, as we will see in the next part, which takes place…well, she's both 38 and 20…you'll see.
