    Summary

    Still, he made them and kept them underneath his mattress, in hopes that one day, maybe he'd have someone who gave enough of a damn about him to want them.

    ~

    Harry has kept every single project, report card, and graded paper he's ever gotten, no one but him has ever seen any value in them. Until he met Severus.

    Summary

    The thought comes as quickly as it turns to a decision. Harry will leave today, he’s going to run away. He’s going to steal some things and leave. He is done with this life. He doesn’t deserve this anymore. He’s never deserved this.

    If this isn’t a breaking point, what is?

    Harry is fostered by Severus Snape.

    Summary

    There was no one at the other side of the lake.

    No one to send the patronus and save Harry, Sirius and Hermione from 100 dementors.

    In the morning it was confirmed, the creatures had aquired one new soul and one thirteen year old was lying on the bed lifeless.

    Summary

    “Expect signs of PTSD,” the social worker warned him, “Extreme mood swings, risky behavior, aggression, and self-harm are all things to look out for. I would recommend counseling.”

    Severus hasn’t seen any of that yet. Harry is extremely polite, neat, and personable. He likes gardening and football. He helps make grocery lists and cook dinner.

    He knows there is more: clues that he’s missing and behaviors he’s overlooking, hints that Harry is struggling more that he’s letting on, but overall, Harry seems remarkably well-adjusted. It’s unnerving.

    Because Severus knows that Harry spent a significant portion of his childhood confined to a single cupboard under the stairs. He knows that Harry was not fed consistently and did not have clean clothes that fit him. That he was hit.

    By all accounts, Harry should be struggling. In the eight years since Severus first met Harry as an infant, his parents died, he was raised in an abusive household, and then forced to live with an estranged family friend he didn’t remember.

    It worries Severus that he’s not seeing it, like Harry could be drowning right in front of him and he wouldn’t even know.
