Thanks a bunch to my anonymous reviewer- I promise I'll do a better job proof reading (or try to).

Chapter 3: I didn't know any better
This is about an hour later. Enjoy! ;) (hopefully)
My sobs eventually stopped and I calmed down enough to know what I had to: I had to go home. I need to make sure my mother is fine. And I have to stop him from doing anything to her. If he lets his anger out on me, he'll ignore her, and she'll be safe for now.
...
"And just where have you been?" my father demanded, spitting out his words. Ah, so he was still drunk. Of course.
"I'm sorry, father. I didn't know any better" I said quietly, looking down at the ground.
"Don't you ever run away from me again!" he bellowed. He proceeded to grab me and throw me hard against the wall. I could feel myself breaking. I started cry, for the millionth time today.
The next day I got dressed in a shirt that would hide my bruises and decided I would try mom's makeup for my face- I wanted to go back to the park: I wanted to see her again.
I went downstairs and looked around. Dad wasn't home- probably out drinking again with his buddies. Thats fine by me. Better there than here.
I saw my mother and went up to her.
"Mom, can I go to the park?" I asked her.
She didn't respond: she sat there staring through me, at the wall. I took that as a yes and as I left, I placed a kiss on cheek.
...
I sat on swings and slowly started to push. Push and pull. Push and pull. Just like how mom taught me years ago, before dad...
I heard a voice interrupting my thoughts, "Tuney look!". And there she was... again. It was the girl from earlier with the fiery red hair, along with the same brown haired girl from before, "Tuney" I suppose. Perhaps they were were good friends-
"LILY! What are you doing? You're not suppose to be doing that-at least not in public! God I can't believe there's a freak in our family. I'm gonna go tell mummy you're a freak!" the young girl, "Tuney" screamed and stomped off. So I guess they're related.
I looked over to see what all that was about and what I saw amazed me: she can do magic! She was showing it to her sister... she's like me- and her family thinks she's a freak as well.
I went to go speak to her: "Hi. I'm Severus".
She frowned at me, probably annoyed at her sister, "Lily. Pleasure to meet you".
"And you as well... I heard what happened. Just so you know, you're not a freak- I can do that too and my mom and entire different world of people".
"Really?" she looked interested now. "What does it mean?"
"You're a witch" I say plainly. Now she looked confused. I don't understand why. It's suppose to a happy thing-
"That's not a very nice thing to say" she said, frowning again. Oh no, she misunderstood... took it the wrong way. She must have thought I was joking around with her. I didn't know any better. She started walking away, most likely in the same direction as her sister.
"No, wait! Let me explain..." I tried to go after her but she was already gone.
So I went back home, defeated.
Author's note: Yes, I do know that something simillar to this last scene happened in the books, but I made up the dialogue, and some other stuff. I know the formats kind of strange... Lame chapter title right? Please review!
