AU: Harry Potter and his family moved to the tiny town of Little Hangleton and into a manor.
What most people don't know about his semi-famous parents is that they neglect him, so in his loneliness he explores the house and finds a key and a doll that looks like him but in a black dress.
Yep, this is a Coraline AU with Voldemort as Other-Lover or just Lover instead of Other-Mother.
—————————————————————————————————————————————
Narrator's POV
Harry James Potter sighed as he laid down on the living room sofa, looking at the cracks in the ceiling, counting them in his boredom.
The Potter's had just moved into a old manor house that had been divided into four apartments after being kicked out of their old house in Godric's Hollow.
Now, miles away from any major city, in the sleepy town of Little Hangleton, Harry was all alone.
Lily and James Potter, his parents, were too busy for him; Lily was busy with her clients for her failing baking business and James was trying to join the police force in the closest city of Big Hangleton.
So, Harry was bored to pieces in a house with no WiFi nor data with absolutely no groceries and nothing to do.
Harry huffed and stood up, going to explore the house.
He wondered the hallways, peeled into every bedroom until he found his bedroom and looked around, finding a door in the back of his closet.
Harry tried to open it but it wouldn't unlock.
The sixteen year old pouted and rushed back to the kitchen, looking through the key drawer for any small key that might fit.
Hidden under a pile of boring keys, he found a black key that had a decorative crimson button on top.
Having a feeling it was that key, he rushed back to his bedroom and stuck the key into the lock.
He opened the door and found himself faced with a dark tunnel and crawled all the way he could and opened that door.
Instantly he was faced with...his living room.
Harry sighed, he was back where he started!
But, he saw something there that hadn't been there earlier, a handmade doll that looked exactly like him but wearing a black silk dress and ruby heels.
On the dolls lap was a note that, in calligraphy read, "See you soon."
***
Harry knew his parents hadn't left him that doll, they didn't have the money nor love for him to leave that note and especially not that doll.
So, Harry knew he had a secret admirer!
He smiled and cuddled the mini version of him, he felt so loved, he'd have to try that door again soon.
***
Harry's parents arrived home a few hours later, grocery bags in hand as Lily went into the kitchen to make dinner and James went up to his office.
Harry went to help his mother but she began to yell at him, telling him to leave her alone and just to disappear, so, Harry did and ran off.
***
With tears still filling his eyes, Harry opened the door and found himself faced with a purple and blue portal.
He got on his knees and crawled through, going to the other side and opening that door.
Harry found himself in his living room again but not, the room was the same but it was decorated completely differently.
Instead of the worn and torn sofas, there were black velvet couches; instead of the generic wallpaper, the walls were painted a shadowy grey with spider and snake designs on it in a slightly darker color; instead of the wooden coffee table that was missing a leg, there was a black metal one with a glass top.
But the biggest change, besides the obvious lack of electronics and electricity in general, was the person sitting in the couch facing him.
The man was tall, even sitting Harry could tell that, he wore a black dress shirt and slacks, an emerald vest and a green tie, his skin was ghostly white and his fluffy hair was brown and his eyes were crimson...buttons with black thread holding them in place.

Harry softly gasped as the man stood up and walked to him, helping the teen stand, kissing his hand, "I've been waiting for you, love."
Harry's face flushed as his hand was kissed, instantly knowing who sent the doll to him, "Who are you? Were you the one that sent me that gift?"
"My name is Voldemort." The man replied, "Of course I'd send my wife a gift."
Harry blushed impossibly deeper, looking at the floor in embarrassment, "Oh, I think you have me mistaken for someone else."
"Of course not, you're Harry Slytherin, my wife." Voldemort said
Harry's mind began to get foggy, fake memories flooding his head and overwhelming the real ones.
Harry smiled and rushed into Voldemort's arms, "How silly, I forgot."
The taller male kissed the top of the green eyed male's head, "Lets go get your buttons back on, love, you've seen to have lost them."
Harry happily nodded and followed him like a adoring puppy all the way to the sewing room.
Voldemort opened a large but thin drawer covered in sets of buttons, "Pick a set, love."
Harry hummed and picked a set of emerald buttons lined with gold and covered in flowers.

Harry picked up the two buttons and sat on the table once directed to by Voldemort.
With a pair of scissors in one hand and a spool of gold thread in the other, Voldemort placed the thread on the table, he kissed Harry softly and cut out his emerald eyes.
Harry began to cry as his eyes were cut from the optic nerve, Harry began to cry out in pain, it was a strange sight to see, to see him crying with no eyes and blood mixing with his tears.
With a bit of magic and skill, the buttons were sewn onto Harry's eyelids, his eyelashes hidden by the length of the button.
Once the procedure was over, Harry 'opened' his eyes and looked straight at his husband.
