Autistic Harry And Papa Snape (Hiatus)

As Far As I'm Aware

I know what a mom and dad are supposed to act like, because I sees aunt Petunia kiss and hug Dudley all the time! and Uncle Vernon doesn't yell at him when he pulls and hits me too hard when playing chase the freak.

But aunt Petunia isn't my mom and uncle Vernon isn't my dad, I know this because they said they died in a car crash and one time I tried to call them that when I was a baby, they got really mad.
I think that's around the time when I noticed that I was weird because I never liked Dudley's old clothes because the material made my skin itch and I think uncle noticed and had me be moved into another room, to not get and freak Ness on Dudley.

It's really, really small... But I it was my space nobody but me came into my room.

One time I was playing with Dudley outside and he was being really mean! So, I was running back inside to my room but then when I was almost to the door I got really dizzy and suddenly I was on my cot in my room!

I was really confused but happy, I was right we're i wanted to be but then a couple of minutes later aunt Petunia come in and grabbed me really hard on the arm and I started crying knowing where she intended to take me she pulled me all the way from my room to the living room in front of Uncle Vernon and- I don't actually remember much more from that day... just that I but now I'm a big boy and so I learned just to stay away from Dudley! Even though he is my only friend...

And today on Christmas Eve, me and everyone else were going shopping for presents even Dudley's grandma -she's mean. all the time, so I try and stay away from her too- But I got lost...  Looking around and weaving because there was a lot of people out. Like hundreds! I started to pick at my skin... a nervous habit.

Uncle Vernon always told me not to, but I really can't help it! My body just does things! Even when I accidently hit myself or scream randomly, I don't want to it just happens when I- uh- when I have big emotions! That's what somebody at school said...

I decided to just keep walking for a bit- and a bookstore! I had picked up my pace I see auntie read books to Dudley sometimes and he likes them and sometimes I watch through the doorway and auntie makes funny voices!

Giggling as I breach the door I started physically shake, 'I am so excited if I bring Auntie here will she let me get one and bring it home? Maybe she'll read it with those funny voices too and tell me goodnight' I can practically hear it "goodnight freak" 'and she'll kiss me on the head too' I look at the books seeing if anything would catch my eye.

"Hello, young man." A lady who probably works here said. She looked nice.

Turning toward her since Uncle Vernon always says, 'look at me when I'm speaking to you freak!', I try speaking to her a greeting but what only comes out is a quiet mumble.

"The children's section is a few aisles down, come here I'll show you!" She said in a soft voice. she smiled at me offering her hand and so I took it holding onto a few of her fingers, she had red fingernails! I want colored nails too! She walked me towards the back of the store.

"Woah!" I let go of her hand in favor of got to the 'children's section' it was super cool! It had a lot of colorful books and books that looked like Dudley's! The little prince and the blue train an-and oh wow! In the corner of the store there was a huge tree that had green bean bags.

"Did you need any help finding a book? What are you able to read?" The lady follows.

Looking back at her I shrug. I don't really know how to read. Vernon says I'd be a m-menace if I did. But I know all my ABC's and I can count more than Dudley can!

"Hm okay how about I show you a few my nephew reads- let's see here" she walks past a few tables with color sheets over to the bookshelves and picks up exactly four books.

Deciding I don't want to 'read' a book standing I start walking to the bean bags and wait for the lady. Humming to myself as I look at the huge tree made of big colored paper.

"Alright sweetie I have different levels of reading for you first we have 'The Pigeon Has To Go To School!', 'Good Night Biscuit', 'Baby Animals' and look it has a sensory patch that feels like the real animals! and lastly, we've got 'The Very Hungary Caterpillar' which one would you like to read?" she places all of the books down onto the floor in front of me. 

"M! I want baby animals one... please!" 

One Baby Animal book later...

"Alright little one where's your parents? I thought they would have swung by already; do you know where they are?" She asks standing up to put the book away. "Come with me we'll go to a security officer." holding her hand out to me.

"No!" I step back. "No, mean, no!" I run back to hide under a bean bag. I really don't want to go back; Uncle Vernon will be very cross once I get back- but it was hard keeping up with them, they walked to fast-.

"Okay, okay we don't have to see them right now but, um-" I stop and stand up looking at her questioningly. "Why don't we go get something to eat? Are you hungry?" Just then my stomach made its self-known with an audible growl. Flushing, I look away.

"Haha, okay food court it is!" 

"SHHH!"

"Oops. okay let's leave before they get the chance to kick us out." 'I guess she doesn't work here...'.

After a while we'd gotten food from a fast-food vendor and I got Chicken Nuggets! they're really good and a fruit cup, strawberries are my favorite. We decided to sit down near a divider with flowers and a tree inside it.

"So little man I don't believe I caught your name. Mines Cherise." Cherise said before taking a bit of her sandwich.

"M' name 's Freak" I say taking a bite as Cherise chocked.

"W-What!? funny joke kid, seriously what's your name?" She asked harsher this time.

" bu' mhm m' nam' 's fr''k " I put my food down, looking away not feeling that hungry anymore. Curling into myself. 'She doesn't believe me.'

"What come again?" She looked confused.

"Freak, Freak, Freak, Freak, Freak!" I say repeatedly not know how she can't understand that's my name! but I am sometimes called uh- ...Potter at school but that's because that's the last name of my dad. Maybe she want's my last name.

"Okay! it's okay but you're not- your name is not freak, who ever told you that their wrong." She said holding down my arms I hadn't even realized what I've done till I felt a throb om my head. "Let's just finish up our food and then I have to take you somewhere alright kiddo?" I nod, not really that hungry I take a few more bites before I push the food away. 'I don't think I can eat much more than that.' -That being only half of the 6-piece chicken nuggets and a third of his fruit cup-.

"All full?" she looked down at my plate with a worried gaze.

I nod "mhm" 

"Okay then let me toss these in the trash and we'll be on our way, the place we need to go to should be a block away." herding me toward the exit

"Okay!" I was happy that she fed me it's probably more than I've eaten in a week.

"Come along then" Like the ducks in the book I exaggerate my steps to mock a duck and follow behind Cherise, she laughs at me, but it's not a mean laugh, so I giggle with her as we leave the shopping center.
