Summary
Harry was a lonely child, a child that was so amazingly starved that he'd cling to anything that even signaled comfort, but he'd run from just about anything that was about his parents.
For most of his life, James and Lily Potter were an enigma to him. An unsolved riddle. A puzzle with too many missing pieces to see the bigger picture. For most of Harry's life, he was too afraid to look for the missing pieces, because what if it wasn't what he wanted to hear? What if Auntie Petunia and Uncle Vernon were right?
Harry at the age of 11 knew it would destroy him.
Or
'They loved you so fiercely.' and Harry squirmed unsure of what to do.

Summary
Harry Potter doesn't know what love is. Well technically he does but it's something he's always observed from afar. Something to be distanced from - Sirius teaches him otherwise.
Harry Potter doesn't know what love is, but he does know that Sirius Black is incredibly adept at it.
‘Harry, suffering like this proves you are still a man!’
He wondered what Dumbledore had told Sirius after that Halloween night if he had said anything at all. If he hadn’t this must be some deranged privilege that was conserved for Harry – it didn’t feel good.
Or
When love tears people apart, once again.

He feels bored and lonely, because his friends won't talk to him.Or
He hated when he was like this though, like he was sharp edges and razor-sharp remarks that were just made to cut into someone’s soft inwards with no regard to their feelings – something cruel. Someone cruel.

Summary
“Ah, the love birds finally join us,” Sirius cackles. “Quite, surprised, to be honest, I would’ve thought that you’d have snogged your faces clean off with how long you were gone.”
“Cheers Padfoot,” Harry said dismissively as he flopped onto the sofa, making Sirius and Remus jump slightly, trying to protect their wine. “Surprised you’re still awake, ye’ old geezer,” he snarked, propping himself up to stare at them.
Remus barked a laugh at it – literally pointed at Sirius and laughed. Between his cries, he said, ‘you deserved that,’ He was obviously tipsy and now Harry wondered how much they drank and if they were that slow that Remus was sloshed.
Or
in an alternate lifetime Harry loves and is loved.

Summary
In an alternative universe before Hogwarts Harry had a friend - or maybe more like an acquaintance.
Harry and Ibrahim weren't exactly friends, they weren't enemies either, they were just eerily similar.
Like if someone had copied Harry and created a second him.
Ibrahim would probably think that Harry was a second him though.They were just like that, the same.
Harry didn't like himself very much though so he didn't know if that was good.Or
Harry meets someone similar to him and forms a bond of some sort.
Ron is still his first best friend though.
