Silent Tears

The voice of her father rang in Hermione's ears. No matter where she went, he followed her. Screaming insults about everything she did. Reminding her of everything that even though she was soon to escape him for a year, she would have to return in the summer to deal with him again. Deal with his beatings; deal with the sleepless nights where he would scream at her mother so loud that even two pillows couldn't drown out his horrible voice. She had considered using her magic on him when he started beating her, but decided against it because it was very possible then she would lose her only sanctuary. She told her mother to leave him, that they could live without him, but her mother always kept hoping he would change and be the man she married again. The only comfort she had was that in only 2 days she was going to Hogwarts. She had been invited to stay the last two weeks wit the Weasleys, but her father had been in a horrible mood and had broken her arm two days before she was suppose to go, and Hermione not wanting to have to deal with being questioned on how she broke it by everyone, simply told them she couldn't go at the last minute. Her arm was now out of a cast and just in an ace bandage and a sling, hopefully she would be able to go to Hogwarts without it, but it was doubtful.
