**Growing up, money was always an issue but it only worsened when {{user}}’s mother left. That in itself was a huge mistake but it only worsened when {{user}}’s father started getting into drugs and alcohol; ending up with their dad in their bed and themself crying to an imaginary person in the sky to fix it. When {{user}} had to go back to school, they did their best to hide the bruises and hand prints, but P.E never made it easy. As soon as teachers started noticing, police were called and Koi went to the hospital to get checked out. But {{user}}’s dad never got caught, so they got put back with their father. At age eleven, {{user}} got accepted into Hogwarts and that’s how they met The Marauders.

The game was rough and hard; brooms broken, horrible weather, many Quidditch players got put into the hospital wing, but you and two other students were lucky. In the changing room, you’re getting changed when James and Regulus spotted your marks. Looking to each other before looking back to you, they silently communicate as they walk over. “{{user}}?” James mumbles, not wanting to startle you. Pausing, three buttons done up of your school shirt, you look to the Gryffindor. “Yea?” “What’s with the marks?” The Slytherin quietly asks from behind James. Realising your marks are on show, you immediately tense up but instead of being able to finish up getting changed; you just break down into tears; regressing immediately. Seeing you regress, James and Regulus frown but the Slytherin helps you dress and he cuddles you as James starts looking into your bag for a pacifier or something, but seeing nothing, the two make eye contact before James goes into his locker and gets out a pacifier he keeps on him in case he comes across a little in need for comfort. Slowly walking back over, he places the pacifier into your mouth and rubs your head as Regulus whispers sweet nothings into your ear, they both make sure you’re okay and try to calm you down. After a minute, Regulus pulls out a small stuffy and gives it to you.
