TW: vivid descriptions of child abuse, self-harm, neglect, suicidal themes, eating disorders and occasional profanity.

Takes place during Harry's third summer.

~

Harry Potter had no one left in the world to care, save his grandfather. But he too only saw a man that was buried beneath the soil of the earth, not Harry himself. Sirius only saw James in him - a wish that maybe Harry was a complete replica of him. He's got the looks, fame, everything a kid at Hogwarts would want to be. But his ego? His self esteem? His, oh, so crumbling mental health? Nothing even close. 

And with the Dursleys digging him further into the hole he's buried himself in, how could he believe there was anything left for him to live for? Anything worth to live for?

With the thought that's been tormenting him all summer finally catching up to him, he begins to really think about it. If he disappeared, would anyone care?

Paired with tormenting nightmares of guilt prickling scenes; Harry decided he didn't care anymore. Screw the boy who lived and screw the ministry.

The boy who didn't-want-to-fucking-live fled the Dursleys after a particularly harsh beating to hide out the rest of summer in Diagon Alley and pray to Merlin nobody would seek for him.

But when a furious Severus Snape comes knocking at his door- Harry knew fate would never give him an ounce of rest.

BOOK 3 OF THE GIRL WHO SAW TOMORROW - Make sure you have read the first two. ❝No one, no matter how great, can know of their own Destiny...❞ As the war against Voldemort rages, an unexpected rebellion brews amidst the crowds. For the first time since the time of Merlin, legends of a magical being are spreading across the Wizarding and Muggle worlds, sending into peril the very Statute of Secrecy that has allowed the Wizarding kind to live in freedom. Some call them a saviour, others call them a dangerous untamable force. But all agree on one thing: Darkness itself bends to their will. And nothing dark is ever good, right? Alas, there is no answer in sight. Harry Potter is nowhere to be found. Hogwarts has been overrun by Death Eaters. The Order of the Phoenix is in hiding. The Ministry is in shambles. And Lord Voldemort is breathing fear into every aspect of life. In the eye of the storm stands Margaret Xenakis. Meticulously planning aspects of the future could have never prepared her for the bloodshed of war. When a legendary magical society offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance, Margaret realises that the Wizarding World outside Hogwarts is much more complex than she had expected. With her own life at stake, she must make her stand for the greater good before it's too late. No matter how unprepared or unworthy she feels. It is up to her, and only her, to minimise the damage of the crossfire. Sounds like a lot? Add Death, Darkness and Doom to the mix. Talk about absolutely unhinged luck... ~~~ Warning: this fic is a giant band-aid to the plot boo-boos of Deathly Hallows book and movie storylines :)
