Disclaimer: Unfortunately I do not own any of these characters except for Mariella (Danny) all the others belong to J.K.R (A/N she must of made a lot of money with the HP movies and her books and all!).

Summary: I suck at summaries but here goes: Mariella Vale lives in her own personal Hell, can she summon the courage to tell off, and destroy, the people who made her what she is? Or will she shrivel up and lose control all together? LJ action

Chapter Two—Hell is hell.

She looked down at her hands, her head of house was asking her the same question she always did "Mariella, where did you get the CUT on your FOREHEAD?"

"I'm clumsy," was all she said.

"I'm not going to fall for that whole 'I'm clumsy' bull shit! Where did you get that cut, did your house mates give it to you? Did your parents give it do you?" Professor Remy asked.

"I'm clumsy," was all she said.

"Mariella Vale," Professor Remy said exasperatedly, "Where did you get that cut on your fore head?"

"I'm clumsy," she repeated. She wanted to believe it with all her heart, but she knew she couldn't, she knew how she got it, and if she told somebody her parents were going to kill her slowly and painfully.

"You're never going to tell me are you? Ah, oh well, go to your dorm, so you can study for the big test I'm giving everyone tomorrow, now I know I said this test is to see how much you learned in the last three years, truth is, Hogwarts is going from small school house like ours to other small school houses like ours, having people take this test, those who get a real high score get transferred to Hogwarts, of course don't tell anybody don't want them to know, it wouldn't be much of a surprise. So keep it under your hat! You can go now."

Mariella left, thinking, why don't I just tell her? What is the worst thing she can do? Send me to the wizarding social workers and have me appear in court or something? That would be a complete relief although once they got out I'll be dead, unless I tell them about them being Death Eaters. But then that would be betrayal, and if I told on them, people would think I'm corrupted or a follower of Him? Please, I've met Him and I'm pretty sure I am not going to be a follower.

Mariella was now half way up the stairs when she heard someone say "Hey you," after her. She turned around and found her worst enemy behind her. "Well aren't you going to say hello? That's incredibly rude if you don't! Still no 'hello' I guess you are going to have to be taught a lesson in manners! Girls, hold her down!" As soon as she said that, out came her gang of friends, they came up to Mariella and held her down, while her worst enemy, Arial, beat or at least tried to beat, the ever-living shit out of her. When they were finished and went to Arial's room for there 'all nighter' she stayed on the steps not wanting to move.

Then she heard someone crying, it sounded like it was going to die. She ran toward the person to discover, she had an axe in her leg. Mariella came and took of her school robes and put it on the poor girl and ripped off her sock. She had to pull the axe out in order to stop the bleeding. But she knew at might be more painful for the girl.

"I'm going to have to pull the axe out in order to keep you from losing blood."

"I don't care what you do, just make it stop, I don't want to die!" the girl exclaimed.

Mariella, pulled the axe out, she could her the girl scream in agony and pain, she then put her sock on the wound and held it there, until some one came down the hall to help.

No one came.

"What's your name?" the girl asked.

"Mariella," she answered

"That's a real pretty name, mine is Nightingale," the girl told her.

"I like yours better then mine," Mariella said to her.

"Cool, I like my name myself but it kind of annoys me when people imitate the bird noise one makes!"

"Then call yourself a nickname...umm lets think...how about-"she was cut off.

"I know I can call myself by my middle name, it so much easier, you can call me Faith!"

"That's a great name for you!" Mariella exclaimed.

"Cool, how long have you been at this wretched school?" Faith asked her.

"Long enough," Mariella answered.

"My dad said the up coming test is to see how smart people are and if they show smartness or courage or loyalty or umm... can't remember the other one, these people might be going to Hogwarts isn't that cool!"

"My sister goes to Hogwarts; I don't think I'd want to go there if she is there,"

"Is your sister mean?"

"The worst! Why during the summer holidays my dad was-"Danny cut herself off, she better not talk about that with someone she hardly knows, "never mind, I'm not supposed to talk about that!"

"Well...then lets refrain from that," Faith said.

"We should get you to Madam Green, she'll no what to do!" Mariella said.

She ripped off another sock, and tied it tight around Faith's leg then help Faith up. Faith had to lean on her a lot in order to walk, but eventually they got to Madam Green. Madame Green is the school nurse, person. Then Mariella left Faith there and said she would be back with her books so she can study. Once she got the books and gave them to Faith, Faith asked; "Could you study with me? I recognize your name; you're at the top of every class, especially in Care of Magical Creatures!"

"Sure, let me go grab my books." Mariella said. She went and grabbed her books and began to quiz Faith on everything they were taught.

Welcome Back to Hogwarts

Lily, like everyone else, knew that there would be knew students that would be in different years, from different schools. The most recent one she heard of was Lilac's School for Witches. She thought it would be nice to go there, and not have to deal with Marauder pranks, for awhile.

Students from other schools would be arriving on Halloween she couldn't wait to meet them and ask about there schools. Over at the Slytherin table she could her Shelby Vale telling everybody her sister went to Lilac's School for Witches, she said she didn't expect to see her here, and even if she was she'd regret it one way or another.

"You know, having to deal with a sister like Shelby would even make me regret coming here!" said someone from behind her.

Lily turned around and saw James right behind her. "Course anybody would! Shelby is as nasty as they come!" James sat down next to her.

"I agree with that," Lily told him. She felt sorry for Shelby's sister. Wonder what her name is? Lily thought.

And just like her read her mind he said "I think she said her name was Mariella or something like that, real nice name, but not as nice as yours Lily." James said, desperately trying to get her attention.

"Poor girl must suck knowing she might be ending up going to the same school as her sister."

If only Lily and James knew the hell her parents and sister would put Mariella through.
