Harry James Potter is 15 years old and has endured more tragedy than most Wizards in their 70's. It seems inevitable that the Gryffindor would one day snap. Will one man be able to save the Boy Who Lived before it's too late? Will Harry ever know what it is like to live in a loving home, a place where he's wanted? (Trigger Warning: Suicidal thoughts/Actions, mentions of Self Harm, mentions of abuse)
    
    "I used to dream about it
    but never schemed or counted
    on fantasies or wishes-
    it breaks a man to see what he misses
    So many nights I'd pray
    for a better life, a better day
    but I never thought that it'd come true
    now that it's here, I don't know what to do
    and I'm trying not to cry
    This must be how it feels
    to have a home"
