    Summary

    It was without known cause or intervention that Harry Potter awoke in the cupboard under the stairs of Number 4 Privet Drive the morning after finally defeating his lifelong foe. The last thing he remembered was succumbing to the exhaustion of the Battle of Hogwarts on a blanket in a corner of the castle somewhere after hours of mourning. And now here he was, seemingly in his relatives house with the early morning light that stretched from the front door down the hall to peek through the grate and under the slat of the door to his cupboard under the stairs.

    Summary

    There were very few things in Harry Potter's life that he was certain of. There was one absolute certainty though; he'd felt it in his bones for as long as he could remember. He, Harry Potter, was dead. The living people around him might not believe, but the dead sure did. Oh well, it doesn't impact his life much. Besides, it's nice to get help with his schoolwork from his parents.

    Summary

    “Wh— what?” Tommy choked out, his voice hoarse from the lack of use all day.

    The man rolled his eyes, as if he didn’t just ask a completely impolite question. “I said, do you have any booze?”

    Tommy sat still. He reached into his jacket pocket, his hand finding only a plastic pen. Could he stab this man with a plastic pen?

    Tommy pulled said piece of plastic out, visibly holding it up. “I have a pen.” Something about the bemused look on the man's face made Tommy click it, and again, repeatedly.

     

    click click click click click click click click—

     

    ...

    or; Tommy planned on dying. He meets Wilbur instead.

    Summary

    "Ignore the dementor; really, it's fine. There are no monsters here. It's just me…Harry."

    When things go very wrong before his fifth year, Harry Potter tries to pretend everything is normal…while also taking care of his Harry-suit so that it stays healthy and alive and learning to rein in his new powers, yeah everything is definitely normal.
