Chapter 1: I'm Ok
In the Great Hall at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a sixteen-year-old lady with long platinum blonde hair and honey brown eyes. Holding a guitar preparing to sing the story of her life to her fellow students and teachers. And before she sings she speaks to the crowd. "Good morning everyone as you all I'm Evelyn Malfoy and here goes the story of my life." She began to play the guitar gently and began to sing.
Once upon a time there was a girl
In her early years she had to learn
How to grow up living in a war that she called home
Never know just where to turn for shelter from the storm
Hurt me to see the pain across my mother's face
Every time my father's fist would put her in her place
Hearing all the yelling I would cry up in my room
Hoping it would be over soon.
(Flashback to when Evelyn was six)
On a stormy night is a roaring argument between a drunken man with pale eyes and platinum blonde hair, and a woman with brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. "DRACO STOP IT... YOUR HURTING ME!"
"Well, well, well, take a clue Hermione." Looking around the room and tightening his hand on her wrist, then his free hand slamming it into the wall of the family room. "YOU'RE MARRIED TO ME AND I DO WHAT EVER I DAMN WELL PLEASE!"
"You're a very sick man, you know that." Glaring at him ferociously.
"YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A FILTHY WHORE!" He shouted. And he began to slap her continuously in the face.
Evelyn watching through the stairs ran up to her bedroom. Then curling into the corner of her room crying for them to stop their fighting.
(End Flashback)
Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday
And I'm OK
She began to remember the good times with her mother showing her how beautiful life can be. Sitting by the meadow near the manor. She felt tears begin to burn her eyes and proceeded to sing.
I often wonder why I carry all this guilt
When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built
Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door
The echo of a broken child screaming "please no more"
Daddy, don't you understand the damage you have done
To you it's just a memory, but for me it still lives on
(Flashback to when Evelyn was eight)
On a night before the Christmas Holidays ended was another night of screaming between Draco and Hermione. Getting out of control he threw Hermione against the cold walls of the living room.
Evelyn covered her ears screaming. "DADDY STOP HURTING MUMMY!"
Noticing his only daughters plea, he picked Evelyn up and carried her to bed. After arriving to her room filled with dolls he gently placed Evelyn in her bed and began to speak to her. "Evey please don't cry." Wiping a tear trickling down her cheek. "Now be daddies good little girl and sleep with sugar plums dancing in your dreams."
Pretending to fall asleep her father kissed her on the forehead and walked out of her room. She got out of her bed watch her parents shadows through a crack in the door and heard from her father. "If it wasn't because we had a daughter I would've been happier with my life!"
"Don't you dare say that it was Evelyn's fault because if it wasn't for her I wouldn't the strength to move on day after day with your injuries and insults!"

Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so, so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday
It's not so easy to forget
All the marks you left along her neck
When I was thrown against cold stairs
And every day I'm afraid to come home
In fear of what I might see there
With that one verse said Evelyn's tears began to flow down her cheeks at the memory of her father hurting her and the cuts and bruises her mother had. Keeping her voice as steady as she can, and kept on going with the music.
Bruises fade father but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday
And I'm OK
I'm OK
Once she finished her song the crowd stayed silent with girls crying their hearts out. But one stood up from the Gryffindor table and began to clap and soon came the rest of the school giving her a standing ovation along with cheers. Knowing everyone loved her performance she knew that it would cause controversy throughout her fellow Slytherin Housemates.
The End... Yeah right this is just the beginning!
