She tried to back away but she was too weak and he was to quick. He swiftly made his way across the room to where she was. She closed her eyes and waited for him to swing but instead he grabbed a fistful of hair and pulled her to her feet, hurting her arm as he did so. So almost cried out but she held it in. He jerked her out of the shed and on into the house where he threw her on the floor in the kitchen in front of her mother. He undid his belt around hi waist and struck her. He continued to strike her until she bled. When he finally stopped because of her mom complaining he was getting blood on the floor her threw her back outside and said that they would be leaving for Hogwarts as soon as he got cleaned up. She gathered herself from the ground with much care to her broken arm and walked to the shed. She grabbed a rag from a shelf, spat on it and continued to clean herself off. She then gather her clothes from off of the dresser and put the on quickly. The door opened and her dad was standing in the doorway.
"Get out here, now!" he yelled.
She walked over to her dad, looked up at him and then continued out the doorway. She felt a fist shoved into her back and she stumbled, but regained he balance and continued to an old rusty bucket that sat in the middle of the yard. Her dad had stopped walking she glanced at him. "Go on," he said clearly embarrassed to face Dumbledore with her looking like this.
She touched the portkey welcoming the feeling that she would once again be back at Hogwarts. At least for another month's peace from her parents before heading back to the hell hole once again. She found herself on the Quidditch pitch, but no one was practicing as it was still early. She started her walk to Dumbledore's office feeling the pain in her arm everytime she took a step. Once she was facing the oak door she didn't know how she was going to explain her self even though deep down she knew that he knew what was going on. She lifted the unbroken arm to knock but before it even reached to dark oak door a voice was heard.
"Come in Ms. Alexander, don't just stand there all day,"
She slowly opened the door and slowly continued to his desk. He didn't look the slightest bit surprised, which actually made her a bit mad. "
Ms. Alexander would you please excuse yourself to the hospital wing and when you are feeling better I will consider visiting you so that we can discuss some matters."
"Yes, sir"
She exited his office and continued to the hospital wing. When she got there she didn't bother to knock she just opened the doors and walked right in. She froze. Lying in a bed was Remus Lupin. And not only that but he was surrounded by James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and Lily Evans who was earning affectionate looks. That was at least until she walked in. She had a cut starting on her forehead that stretched across her eye and down to her cheek. There were many other small cuts and gashes on her face. There were a few larger ones on her arms and legs. And there was also the fact that she was completely covered in blood. Oh and her clearly visible broken arm. She had stopped when she noticed Remus and his fan club, but when the door slammed shut they all looked up. They all looked panic stricken. Remus jumped out of bed and rushed over to a door in the back corner and barged right in. The rest of them looked frozen. A few moments later Remus emerged with Madam Pomfry. It wasn't until now that Selena noticed Remus was shirtless but wrapped all over in bandages. Before she could get any more in depth in the thought Madam Pomfry shouted for the fan club to leave and for Selena to come with her.
"Mr. Lupin would you mind pulling your curtains and giving us some privacy."
"No Madam Pomfry," he said pulling the curtains around his bed.
Madam Pomfry helped Selena out of her shirt and pants. She gasp when she was the belt marks. Selena heard Remus listen in the four poster bed across the room.
"These are belt marks," Selena heard Remus tense at those words. "Ms. Alexander who do something like this to you"
Selena stared at the ground for a moment before quietly replying.
"My father," she whispered. She heard Remus tense even more. She felt the tears burning her eyes. Before long they were spilling down her cheeks. Madam Pomfry went to a dresser and got her a nightgown.
"This may sting some," she said uttering some spells. When she was finished Selena touched her back it was still sore but the skin wasn't split open. Then Madam Pomfry got to work on the cuts and gashes. Then last but not least there was her arm.
"I'm guessing he did this too," she said.
"Yes," It was all she could say.
Madam Pomfry walked over to a cupboard and poured a glass full of liquid and handed it to Selena.
"Drink it. It will fix that break."
"Thank you," she said.
She drank the liquid in one gulp. Put that gown on, the one I lied on that bed and then you need to lay down and get some sleep. She didn't even think of disagreeing, she was so tired. She quickly, but carefully, threw on the gown, so far the medicine had just numbed it, and continued over to the bed beside Remus's. She lay down and within in minutes she was asleep.
