Prologue
February 28, 2007 4:58 a.m.
A twenty-five year old witch laid in the bed of a muggle hospital in Cokesworth. She screamed in agony as she brought her child into the world. The child's muggle father, Richard Fand, was in the car. The woman was drenched in sweat, her damp hair sticking to her back. Richard didn't want to come in. He didn't care about his child, or the woman giving birth to her. The woman remembered how the morning had gone when she fearfully told Richard that the baby was on the way.
" I'll take you, but listen. Tell th hospital your name is Sharon Fand. My cousin. You will tell the nurses that you are here alone and the father is out of the country and you have no family close. As soon as all the required procedures are done, tell them you have to leave to pick up the Thing's father. I don't want to waste anymore time than necessary on you or the Thing," he told her harshly.
" But what if something goes wrong?", she had asked fearfully.
" Then let it die!", he had screamed, and he slapped her across the face. The woman screamed loudly. Usually, she didn't scream, but this time she couldn't help it. The woman was used to this treatment. Richard had seemed kind at first, but after he found out she was a witch, the few minor things he had done abusive turned a hundred times worse The woman was scared to leave him. Richard controlled her life. The woman was pulled out of her thoughts when the nurse gasped.
" The baby's out! Meet your new baby girl, Ms. Fand?", the nurse asked sweetly.
" Crystal Fand," the woman gasped. She was out of breath. The nurse handed her the baby. She had his eyes, but her pale skin.
" She's beautiful," the mother sobbed with happiness.
The woman walked with her daughter in her arms out to the car where the man who had ruined her life waited.
" Put It in the back. Stay with the thing," he said. The woman put Crystal in the car seat she had summoned earlier that week.
" Her name's Crystal," the mother breathed.
" I don't care! Now shut up before I hit you," he threatened. The mother and the baby sobbed the entire ride back to the house.

" Happy first birthday, Crystal," the mother whispered to the small girl next to her. She giggled. The mother looked around the dark, cold, basement they were forced to live in. They went upstairs to Richard who wanted his breakfast.
" FREAK! GET OVER HERE!", he shouted angrily. He called the woman that. He hated magic. When she got upstairs. Richard greeted both of them with a smack across the face. Crystal cried.
" Make the little freak shut up!", he shouted, giving the mother a second slap across the face. The woman's face went red with anger.
" I've had enough! I'm so sick of you treating us like this ! I'm leaving!", she sobbed.
" Don't you fricken dare!", he screamed, punching her.
" Watch me! Watch me! I'm taking my child with me!", she screamed through tears. She went back downstairs to gather the meagre possessions she had. Crystal, who had gone crawling around, was scooped up by Richard and locked in a closet.
" You're not leaving me," he whispered menacingly.
" Where's my baby?" The mother asked when she came back upstairs.
" I'm keeping her,"
" NO!"
The man through net out the door and locked it. The mother didn't have a key. She sat down on the lawn and cried.
April 9th, 2009
A young girl just over two years old went through what she had her whole life. She didn't know her name, her father called her " freak" or
" thing" or "it". She was skinny, for she was very underfed and undernourished. You could see her ribs. Her father was abusing her. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Richard went to the door and let in a woman. She had short dark brown hair and was wearing what looked like a navy blue bathrobe.
" Richard Fand, I am Caroline Wilkins, a Magical Children Social Worker," she said calmly. " We know what you have done to your daughter. We will be taking the two of you to the Ministry. Don't resist or there will be consequences,"
Richard didn't argue. Her calm, serious manner shocked him. He followed her out to a parked car out in the driveway with a purple flag on the roof. The little girl looked at the woman, scared, as they walked out to the car. Caroline saw her fear and knelt down in front of her.
" Don't worry, sweetie. I'm not going to hurt you. We're going to help you. He's not going to hurt you anymore. You'll go to an orphanage where you'll get a new family," she smiled. The little girl looked hopeful, but her expression was unchanged. It wouldn't be easy for get to gain confidence.
Dumbledore's Orphanage- Later that day.
Mrs. Franklin heard a knock with the door. She opened the door to find her friend Caroline standing there with a small, thin girl with big, hungry, scared sad eyes.
" Caroline? Who's this?", she asked.
" I don't know. Her father abused her terribly and doesn't even know her name. We interrogated him at the Ministry," Caroline explained.
" Why don't we take this to my office," Mrs. Franklin motioned for the two to come inside.
" You see, we don't know who her mother is. The muggle refused to tell us that, we only know she was a witch. Her birthday's February 28th. The poor thing hasn't said a word," Caroline explained.
" So do I tell who plans to adopt her they get to name her?", Mrs. Franklin asked, her eyes looking at the small girl who looked close to tears. Caroline nodded. You can call her sweetie and different pet names like that. You shouldn't get to name her,"
" I agree. I'm going to put her with the other girls her age. I'll try to rebuild her confidence," Mrs. Franklin ushered the little girl out of the office.
" I'll be coming once every two weeks to check up on her," Caroline called after them. Then crack, she disapperated.
Done! Please review! FYI, you aren't supposed to know who the mom is yet because it's important for later in the story. Hope you enjoyed!
Also, this chapter is the worst will get with stuff like abuse and language. The rest of the story is more K+, so that's why it's rated that and not T.
