imari

chapter 25

A week had passed and Persephone was not let off easy. Her daily routine consisted of waking up , talking to Randy , going downstairs , getting belittled and going upstairs.

However today Fenrir had decided that the letters he had disregarded from a certain boy were becoming too much. Everyday a boy called James Potter had addressed a letter to his daughter and he was fed up. The letter he recieved mid-year - from Evan - had described her to be mingling with those of dirty blood and describing how she had been completely mistreated him in the relationship the two had.

Fenrir had had enough.

"Imari!" he shouted. When his wife had dissapeared he had settled on calling her by her middle name : he fully believed it was Persephone's fault for his wife's disappearance and for his sons death so her first name brought him too much anger to say.

"Yes father" the girl said as she came down the stairs

"Explain these" the man asked urgently holding up the pile of letters , eyes glowing a dim yellow

"I don't know him" his daughter replied bluntly looking at the letters , surprised that James knew where she lived in the first place

"Oh really?" Fenrir challenged walking around his desk to stand infront of his daughter

"Yes" she muttered crawling into herself slightly

"Evan says otherwise" the man smirked , knowing he had caught her out. He could practically smell her fear

"Y-You've spoken with him?" she asked , frustrated with herself for stuttering

"He wrote a letter to me halfway through your school experience" he paused taking a few steps closer "He has informed me that you have been disrespectful towards him -"

"I have not!" the girl shouted - as scared as she was she felt the need to defend herself in this situation. Which earned her a strong slap to the face.

"Do not interrupt me child" he scolded "He has told me that you have embarrassed not only our family but his aswell with your foolish behaviour" he turned and let out an agitated sigh before continuing
"Not only that , but you have been fraternising and developing relationships with those of filthy blood!" the man yelled in his daughters face

"They are g-good people" she spoke - yet again letting her fear gain the upper hand

"Is this James Potter one of them?" Fenrir inquired

"No father"

"You're lying!" he yelled punching a hole in his desk the dim yellow in his eyes now becoming a more vibrant shade
"You're always lying. Harrison , my son , died because of you and your lying"

The girl froze. Being away at hogwarts she hadn't been confronted with Harrison's death in a very long time.

"I didn't mean-"

"Foolish children. Thinking you can stop those more powerful than themselves" he paced around the room , claws making an appearance now
"You couldn't stop him and you knew it - yet you tried"

"Stop..." she said shakily , tears beginning to brim her eyes

"Stupid Imari" Greyback lashed out hitting her across the face - scratching it this time and causing blood to appear.

The girl reached up to touch her face , feeling the warm liquid and observing its blood red colour

"You deserve what Harrison got. You and your mother both" the man said spitefully

"Don't say that about my mother!" she screamed - voice clogged with tears

"You made her disappear too. I'm fed up!" the man grunted taking out his wand and pushing it into her neck
"You are a disgrace to me. Having relations to those filthy creatures. It's disgusting"

"You're one to talk" the girl strained ,purely out of spite, she had nothing against werewolves her brother and bestfriend had the burden. But her father carried it with a sense of power - he abused it , like he does with everything.

"Crucio" he yelled walking away and leaving the girl to suffer quietly on the floor.

She thought the unimaginable. School had made the charm a thousand times worse because she had developed friendships. Thoughts of Nic and her friends going through pain flooded her head, thoughts of James hurling harmful words in her face and even of her brother yelling at her , just yelling constantly. Thoughts of her mother blaming her for her departure , thoughts of her father and so many others. She couldn't take it

Randy found the girl in tears lying on the floor in bruises and cuts . It was the worst one state he has found her in. The girl unfortunately has been in this situation before , but since the attachments she has made have been stronger - the curse hurts more.

"Oh no no." the elf panicked
"Miss Persephone?" he shook
"Miss?"
"Miss are you alright?"
"Randy is worried" he sniffed
"Randy will do something"
"Randy , think Randy" he shouted hitting his head with his hand
"Please be okay Miss" he finished as he took the girl's hand and apparatated the two to the house that was written on the note.

He brought her suitcase over shortly after and tried his best to move the girl from the doorstep into the corridor.

"Randy needs help!" he yelled
"Miss Persephone needs help" Randy cried holding the girl's hand up and waving it.

Shortly after his calls a boy with glasses came down the stairs took one look at the girl and immediately went over to help.

"Mum!" he yelled scooping her into his arms and carrying her towards the living room
"Mum! This is urgent" he yelled in a panic
"Percy? Percy wake up please!" the boy called out laying her down on his sofa

"James what is it - oh merlin" Euphemia gasped as she entered the room "Wake your father up" she demanded

"No. I don't want to leave her she has to be okay" James rushed eyes watering slightly

"She will be okay son" the woman reassured

"Randy is worried Miss" the small house elf spoke twiddling his thumbs and trying to hide his hysterical state

"The girl will be fine. But one of you needs to get Fleamont"

"I'll go Miss" the house elf replied walking up the stairs
"Mr Fleamont. A woman downstairs has requested you she says it is urgent"
