Summary
It had started back when Harry was 8, and his aunt, tired of the school calling in and asking about Harry's over-large, ripped shirts and pants, had thrown a sewing kit at his chest and told him to to fix his clothing himself.
Then he finds a magazine titled "Punks Not Dead" on the street. Entranced and intrigued by it, he hides it in his backpack to read during breaktime, when he can be in the school's library without Dudley haunting him. Inspired by the pages within, Harry finds himself in alleyways and close to bars, picking up loose soda tabs and forgotten scraps of fabric and safety pins.
By the time he's 10, he spends more time outside and in school than anywhere close to the Dursely's home. It is then he finds a community of his own; a rag-tag group of teenagers living in a nearby LGTBQ+ shelter who are all too happy to take their youngest, and newest member under their collective wing.
The wizarding world is unprepared for the ball of raging anger and soda tab chains that is 11-year-old Harry Potter. Cynical, unafraid to get into fights, and smarter than people take him for, he's not the boy the wizarding world wants him to be.
Told from the perspective of one of the teenagers.

Summary
Reading of previous 2 fics in the series is necessary.
Part Three of ‘Dreams and Shadows’ and a continuation of ‘And sunlit streets, where my hopes raise’.
A werewolf, once turned or born, has the inherent sense and need for family hard-coded into them. It’s what makes a were pack a pack, and it’s why packs average anywhere between 14 to 300 wolves at once.
Packs are often found in vast, unplottable lands with a mishmash of huts, run-down cars, and tents to maximize the outdoor space available, and were children grow up semi-feral, always moving, playing, and hunting.
Or: Harry’s first summer away from his family with his friend Caleb, at the Harkwood pack’s land, from his and Caleb’s perspective.
Gifted to Boudica96.
