Summer came quickly, the kids slowly boarded the train going away for three months, Professor McGonagall felt a knot in her stomach, she had grown fond of her student and her little child, she wiped away a tear, held her close.
"Take care of yourself. See you in September" the girl nodded, boarding the train with her friends.
Minerva McGonagall was in her summer residence in Hogsmeade, usually summer left the
castle, she had never tolerated silence, she was sipping her cup of tea, when she heard a knock on the door, she got up, opened it.
"Yes?" a young hooded figure stood before her soaked in rain, a noise attracted her, she looked away, noticing a figure walking away in the distance
"Professor, it's me, Lily... I wrote to Hagrid asking if he could come get me and take me to you... I can't stay in that house anymore... Harry is growing up and I'm afraid the same thing could happen to him"
"Come in, come in. You're soaking wet" the little girl entered, took off her muddy shoes, leaving them at the entrance
"What happened to you?" she said, selling her swollen face
"I said no and John beat me to death" the young professor made her sit in front of the fireplace
"I'm listening..."
"I've lived with John since I was little, I never knew my mom. The sexual abuse started right away, it should have stopped after my period but it didn't, and Harry arrived. Now that I'm at Hogwarts most of the year, he's irritated because he can't satisfy himself... When it all started I was two years old and I'm afraid for my son, who when he was born, I swore to protect"
"No one came to your aid?"
"No, no one cares about people like us... We lied to the social workers..."
"They are people who take care of kids and children when there are situations that aren't right for their safety" she added, seeing the professor's questioning look
"Yesterday I said enough and he got angry so I called Hagrid"
"Lily, you don't have to fear anymore. You and Harry will live with me, forever" the young witch burst into tears, the professor hugged her
