“So, if he was determined to see me fall, he was going to have to try and make me break.” 💪🏽
If Harry Potter was adapted into a poorly written CW show, it would be called Zodiac Academy. Almost every character in this book is horrible. The bullying throughout this book is WILD. Not even the teachers at this school have any redeemable qualities. Everyone keeps telling me to trust the process, but idk how this is going to get better. I feel like the author is just trying to convince me that “this is just how this world is.” But I’m really having a hard time getting behind this, “Daddy hits me because he loves me” mentality. We’ll see how this goes, but I’m not hopeful.
