Sabrina's mistrust remained for most of the school year and as a challenge she did the opposite of what Dumbledore asked her to do, she did not even deign to look in the direction of the forbidden forest or to pass near the forbidden library, she was completely sure that there was something hidden in here and to Lily's pity, Sabrina was a terribly stubborn girl. "it's crazy. What harm would the director want to cause you?" Lily said desperately trying to reason with her to which Sabrina very bluntly responded "He knows too much, more than anyone who knew her should know, I have no reason to trust him" Sabrina argued firmly without being willing to give in to what Lily insisted "He is classified as one of the best magicians in the world, it doesn't seem strange to me that he knows that, maybe he appreciated your mother and that's why he wants to help you," Lily said, even without assimilating how unobjective Sabrina was being at that moment "No one is that kind" Sabrina said rigidly without changing her mind, Lily felt that Sabrina was blind that she did not see what was in front of her "Do you know, are you aware of the opportunity they are offering you? You have access to the most limited and interested places in school and because of your pride you refuse to go, it sounds ridiculous" Lily said feeling helpless, Sabrina with a little more anger responded "It's not because of pride, it's for caution, as the saying goes, better safe than sorry" Lily was immovable by Sabrina's answers "But if you don't take risks in life you will never enjoy it, take a little risk" Lily tried to encourage her again without giving up to which Sabrina again, without wanting to reflect on her words, said "I have taken risks all my life, I take risks every day in my house, I just want to live in peace at least for once during my time at school." Lily was already fed up, she had tried everything and Sabrina wouldn't agree, so she finally said "You know what? "You can't be reasoned with, I'm leaving." said Lily, taking her books from the table, getting up and leaving, dazed. Sabrina didn't even make an attempt to stop Lily, her tenacity prevented her from doing so. She had lived long enough to learn the true nature of people, although If it was a great opportunity, she wasn't willing to take it. She preferred to settle for the regular classes she had frequently rather than risk being someone's puppet. The problem was that the memories were embedded in her head and had prepared her to be defensive. She dont trusted people much less adult men but how could she? It wasn't just the fact that Tobias beat her until he was tired of it or that he starved to the point where she had to participate in those damned street fights to get money with which to buy food, no, it wasn't just that, it was also something else that began to happen shortly after the death of her mother, Tobias, before being the low-life drunk that he was, used to be a military. She supposed he was a lieutenant because of the medals so proudly hanging on the kitchen rack, once when she was 5 years old she tried to touch them and as punishment Tobias made her put her hand on boiling oil after that it generated a terrible contempt and resentment towards those medals. even today she could not touch them because she was sure that this time Tobias would cut off her hand, so clinging was that cursed man to the memory that he was once an honorable man to the filth that he is today and of course he was not going letting his little-shit of daughter ruin it with her dirty and calloused hands of a poor and abandoned girl, Tobias had also kept his old weapons in the sad and dusty basement that was the same as his life. Sabrina found curious that despite the day the man killed his mother, there were a large number of knives in the kitchen and the basement was suspiciously open, he chose to beat her to death, in the most painful way possible, of course, after all we are talking about Tobias Snape with him it's not fast and painless, with him it's slow and tortuous but even that didn't come even remotely close to the big reason why she hated him so much, a reason she had never discussed with anyone, not even Lily, her dear tender and innocent redhead friend. because she knew that Lily wouldn't understand, that it would require Sabrina to ask for help or go to the authorities and maybe that's what she should do, but she cannot do it, not after the Ministry of Magic had made infinite efforts to keep the secret a secret of a murder of a witch by her muggle husband, it all started on one of those days when Tobias had run out of money due to spending it excessively on gambling and alcohol and he was precisely in one of those moments when he really needed to be with a woman, you know what I mean by "being" and therefore he had brought a prostitute to the house, practically tricked into believing that he would pay her, an obvious lie of course, then in the middle of the manual work that the woman was doing to him, she realized the trick, offended and indignant, she slapped him and left, leaving him urgent and excited. A very funny scene for Sabrina, who was at home, something she would regret much later. The man, upon noticing the girl's mockery of him, decided to get creative with his punishments and said with a harsh and serious voice "Your mother passed away, you are now the woman of the house Sabrina, you must do your duty" Tobias' tone of voice did not please Sabrina at all, who quickly moved away and tried to escape from him but her father's malicious hands were fast and he caught her first, he stood on top of her and grabbed her against the ground holding her by the neck. Sabrina was strong against the fights with other children of her age but Tobias was a bigger adult and with more weight. Despite the fact that the girl struggled, he managed to hold her back easily. Tobias took off his pants and pulled his daughter's pants off and he inserted himself inside her with a single blow. The girl couldn't even complain because he was covered her mouth, she could only gasp while tears poured down her face. Previously, Tobias had also shown some unusual interest for a father in the girl, but he had not been able to achieve anything because Eileen always got in the way, but now she was no longer there and he could do whatever he wanted with his daughter. Tobias finally reached his climax and got off of the girl who at the same time feeling how he was moving away from her, she began to cry uncontrollably while she closed her legs tightly and stood in a corner of the room, trembling compulsively, looking horrified at her father who, after putting his pants back on, clarified in an indifferent voice, "Don't claim nothing, you earned it." After that Sabrina finished changing completely. The nights she spent in that place were very few and she was always attentive to any movement of Tobias and she began to wear even baggier clothes that would not show her body, she bathed and changed at Lily's house because unfortunately that would not be the last time that Tobias would do that to her, those memories were violently marked on Sabrina's body and they are something that she would never forget, she knew that Dumbledore did not have those intentions. But she was also sure that he wanted to take advantage of something that he was proposing to her and until she was completely certain that it was really safe, she would not give in.
