A/N: Hey! I know it's been awhile, but guess what? I'm back!! *evil laugh* A very abusive chapter is coming up.

"Harry, this is my little brother Maverick," she rested her arm around Maverick's shoulder. "He'll be going to school with us in September. Maverick, this is Harry." Please say they'll like each other, she added to herself silently as the two boys shook hands and started talking about Quidditch (and other things that interest boys older than ten). Cho, totally not impressed with their conversation (Maverick asked Harry about the girls at Hogwarts) went back over to her mother who was now talking to her father.

~*~

Over the next day or so it was. hell for Cho. Mr. Chang had gone back to China because his Grandfather had died, Maverick was locked in his room, Harry was only allowed in certain parts of the house (whatever part Cho wasn't in), and Cho herself became a slave.

~*~ The house was totally filthy, compared to Chi Chang's standards. Business at the restaurant that day was mediocre and she wanted to take her frustrations out on somebody, the reasonably clean house was a great excuse to hurt a certain stepdaughter of hers.

"Girl! Get your arse in here this bloody minute!" The shrill voice echoed through the house.

"I have a name, you can use it," the Girl leaned against the door frame leading into the living room. Chi looked at her in utter astonishment. "If you don't remember it it's Cho!" A flash of defiance went through Cho's eyes.

"You dare use that tone of voice with me, you stupid wench?" Chi walked up to Cho and punched her in the left eye.

"I dare many things, defying you is only one of them." That earned the teenager a few more punches to the head and shoulders. "You are NOT allowed to hit me! You're NOT my mother, Chi!" Cho fell to the ground as Chi kicked her in the chest breaking ribs.

"You live in my house, you go by my rules!" Chi picked her niece up by her ear and dragged her up the stairs to her room. "You're just as conniving and evil as your mother, you vulgar slut!" She threw Cho onto the floor and kicked her brutally in all places. Little did she know that Ling and Lang were standing at the door looking on in horror as their mother made Cho's blood stain the carpets.

Cho looked at the door and saw the twins standing there open mouthed. "Get Harry," she mouthed to them before turning back to Chi. "This has never been your house," she told her flatly, not an inch of hurt or pain could be heard in Cho's voice, "you're a cheating thief, and you'll never win, Aunt Chi." One more kick in the face silenced her; the puddle of blood grew larger from under the unconscious girl.

~*~

Five minutes later Harry looked at his watch. What's up, he thought, Cho promised to meet me here over an hour ago. He picked up both sets of school books and stuffed them back into the book bags. He hurried up the steps leading to the hall way sensing that something was wrong.

The coast was clear he stepped out from the passage and the wall closed quickly. As he set the books down in his room the twins ran up to him.

"Harry." pant, ".Cho." pant, ".she's." Chi stepped out of Cho's room with a smug look on her face, turned around, and locked the door. Then, continued to walk down the hall towards the other three.

"Bedtime!" she said with a merry note in her voice. The twins took another look at Harry with a scared look in their eyes.

A/N: evil, aren't I? Two extra cookies who can guess half of the deal with .Aunt Chi? and Cho.
