Chapter 38:
"Take Me Away" – Avril Lavigne
He created a huge blue bubble around him, making the spell bounce off of him. "Stupid girl," he muttered. He walked over to me, and Marie ran back inside and stood by him, holding out her wand.
"She so did not try to kill you!" she screeched! "I'm going to kill you!"
He used his arm to push her back and said, "One minute, let me get it over with and then you can finish her off,"
I was so weak. I could barely look him straight into his eyes. He picked my head up and he just stared into them. What the hell was he doing?
"It's called karma bitch," he whispered in my ear and then dropped my head to the floor, letting out an eerie sound of my head-cracking fill the room.
My head throbbed like fuck. Marie's laughter didn't help at all. My brain was feeling so fuzzy, I felt like I was going in and out of conscious. I could feel something wet, I'm guessing it was my blood, sticking onto my hair and making a huge puddle underneath my head.
"Crucio!"
"Marie! Crucio? How many times are you going to torture her? Just kill her already!"
"Chris! Don't you just love hearing her scream? I've been wanting to do this to her ever since you made me disguise as stupid teenager!"
"Fine Marie. Torture her some more. But quick, we need to get her mother too. I hear she's got a son,"
"Oh that bitch! I'm done with her whore of a daughter here!" I heard Marie scream.
"Duro!"
I heard something in the distance drop to the floor.
"Who are you?"
"Who the fuck are you?"
I could hear the faint sound of spells being thrown at each other. I just tightly closed my eyes, as I felt suddenly so cold.
"Mommy, where are you going?" I asked my mother as she put on her coat.
"I'm going outside," she said and walked over to her to my new father.
"Chris honey, I'll be back in twenty minutes," My mother kissed him on the cheek and walked out the door. I watched her until she closed the door.
I tried not to cry, she didn't give me a kiss or a pat on the head like all the other mothers do to their kids. It was so unfair. How can a grown man like him get all her affection, when I, the child need it the most!
"Irina, have you practiced your spells?"
I ignored him, and walked into the kitchen. I heard his footsteps behind me.
"Irina?" He picked me up and swirled me around. I began to throw a tantrum.
"Don't touch me! Stop it!" I screamed.
"What the hell? Okay, okay! Stop kicking me!" He put me back down and patted me on the head.
"Don't touch me," I told him through gritted teeth.
He backed off. "What is wrong with you?" he wondered out loud. He turned around and walked back to the living room. I was so angry with him.
I took out my wand and said, "DURO!" causing him to turn hard as a statue and fall to the floor. I rushed over to him, he was knocked out, face flat to the floor.
Oh no! What did I do? I've always used the spell on in animated objects, but not on someone! Oh no! Is he dead!
"IRINAAAA~!"
"IRINAAAA~!"
I felt like I was shot with a breath of air, waking up gasping.
"Irina!" my eyes were blurry, my lips tasted salty. I kept blinking, trying to clear my eyes out. My arms, I couldn't feel them. I couldn't feel anything below of my head. "Are you okay?"
"I can't see! I can't see anything!" I shouted scared.
"Julie! Go get my wand!"
"Yes Madam Pomfrey!"
"Irina, is everything else feeling okay?" Madam Pomfrey asked.
"No, I can't feel my body. It's so cold," I whispered. "Madam Pomfrey, help me please. I can't feel anything,"
"Don't worry dear. Just try to stay awake,"
I closed my eyes, feeling so tired.
He never did rape me that night. I had planned it all. I did it in revenge. I was so mad at him and jealous. I remembered.
I remembered turning him to stone. I remembered getting scared, knowing my mother was going to kill me. I remembered my mother talking about how a woman's boyfriend molested this girl I used to play in the park with; I remembered taking a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, emptying them out and making it look like he drank them. I remembered taking off my clothes and hiding in the closet, crying, knowing what I just did was wrong but it felt so right. It wasn't fair. It wasn't fair he got my mother's love and I never did. It wasn't fair.
I remembered.
This was not good.
I coughed out a ball of saliva in my hands. I stared at it disgusted and wiped it away on the hospital bed sheet. I looked up to see if anyone noticed.
Of course no one did, everyone was at the second to last Quidditch game of the year. Can you believe a whole year passed?
I heard the hospital wing door slam open, and Professor Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Snape stormed inside.
"You will be getting detention for the rest of this year and the next year!" Snape told me as he glared at me. "So annoying causing trouble,"
"What?" I asked, confused.
"Professor Snape, she's the victim here, no need to give her detention," Dumbledore calmly told him.
"Professor Dumbledore, I'm sick and tired-"
"I understand Professor Snape, but it gives you no reason to punish her. She's already been through so much," Dumbledore told Snape. He turned to look over at me and gave me a peaceful smile. "Now Miss. Labelle, do you think you'll be okay to answer some questions?"
I nodded my head, "Yeah, I think so Professor,"
"Okay, well do you know who attacked you?"
"It was-" I paused. What do I tell him? It was my "step-father" or what? "It was Marie and her husband,"
"Pardon?" Professor McGonagall said. "Marie and her husband?"
"Yes, she's not who she claimed to be. She was an older woman disguised as a teenage girl," I told her.
McGonagall was confused as hell. All three of them began to put the pieces together.
"Explains her hair!"
"The attack on Vivian Lockney, the impersonation, things are beginning to make sense,"
"The pieces are falling together, "Dumbledore said. "But one thing doesn't make sense, why was she attacking you specifically?"
"She was going to attack the whole school, but I got in the way," I looked down at arms. They black and blue, they looked really nasty. "I don't know, she didn't really explain why she was attacking us. What happened? How did I end up here?" I asked realizing I had no idea and also trying to change the subject.
"Mr. Austin Grazer found you in an empty storage room. It was a strange storage room, we've never seen it before, but Mr. Grazer knew it was there all along. I guess Mr. Grazer knew this school better than us," Dumbledore said.
"A perfect place to attack you," Snape said looking at me. "She got a lot of damage done. You must have irked Marie really badly while she was here, so she did this to you instead of killing you straight on,"
"Professor Snape!" McGonagall shouted. "Okay, well I'm going to go make sure the other students are safe,"
"The students are okay, Professor McGonagall, I had casted a spell to surround the school and make sure any unwanted guests can't come in or phony students," Dumbledore took a hold of my hand. "Are you feeling okay Miss Labelle? I will send in your friends as soon as possible. I know they're what you need the most right now,"
"Uh yeah," I told him. His blue eyes gave me a smile, and he turned to head back out. "Wait!" I shouted.
"Yes Miss Labelle?"
"Can I please see my brother Conner?"
"Why yes of course."
