I own nothing, except my own character.

A/N - this is my first fanfic, so, just warning you, this might be pretty awful. I decided to start with a simple romance story, maybe just a few chapters.

She felt the stinging pain on her right cheek as her father slapped her, hard. Kat fought back tears, biting her lip. He squinted at her, swaying slightly, drunk. ''Ooooohhhhh, is the little baby going to /cry/?'', he asked, smirking. He punched her in her stomach. She doubled over, in pain and clutched her tummy. ''Father, sto - '', she started, but was cut off by another blow, this time to her face. She gulped, and did not cry. He narrowed his eyes and started hitting her again. And this time, he didn't stop until she lay on the floor, quivering, silent tears streaming down her cheeks.


Kat sat in one of the seats in a compartment in the train, alone. Some of her friends had offered her a seat with them, but she'd shaked her head slowly and continued walking down the train, trying to keep her composture. It'd been hard, her whole body was aching, she had been hit all over. She sighed and looked out the window again. Of course, she didn't notice the Marauder gang in the other compartment, staring at her and wondering why she was alone, as Remus pointed out her various bruises, James narrowed his eyes slightly, Peter nodded agreeingly and Sirius; Sirius noticed her tears, but he didn't say a word.

A/N - okay, that was short. x3 But, um, could you please review? I know I'm really bad at this, anyway, but if you have any tip, or something, well, y'know... REVIEW PLEASEEEEEEEEE. &you get a special mention in the second chapter - which hopefully will be longer than this.
