Yumi, now 18, and having basically just graduated walked around Diagon Alley. She had now no where to go anymore. Her supposed home would no longer be home to her anymore. She and James(her "father") had yet another fight and this time Yumi had taken the choice to leave his house, this time hopefully, for good. She had tried it once before but she ended up back at home dealing with his tantrums and him being dunk and hitting her.
He wasn't this way then she was at Hogwarts, but as soon she graduated he changed. He was now always hitting her and coming home drunk and Yumi had finally not been able to deal with it any longer. Now she needed to get a job and find a new home. Or at least one of her friends, who will take her in while until she could get settled in somewhere.
So far she was having no luck. She barely knew anyone who passed by her, so what was she to do now? She sighed and began to think that she would just end up back with James again, back to him hurting her. She brought her hand to her face and felt her eye, it felt like it was less swollen from the last time he hit her in the face. But she took out a mirror from the purse she was carrying and looked at her face. There were marks everywhere from past hits and there were even some scars that weren't very noticeable anymore but you can tell they were there still. She looked at her eye where the most recent hit was and saw that it was still purple from the hit. She sighed and put the mirror back into the purse.
