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.

"So, Remus, what's your favourite book?" His brain short circuited and he couldn't think of a single book he'd ever read, so he stood there staring at the prettiest boy he'd ever seen and said nothing. "For a lover of words, you certainly don't use them much." 2. We Don't Need To Say We're Dead - Remus James ran faster than Remus ever thought a person could run and Andy wasn't far behind. He ran too, but his bones ached with every step, especially on the uneven terrain, he pushed back against pain, making Sirius the focal point of his mind. 2. We Don't Need To Say We're Dead - Sirius He loved James so much, but saying it in that moment felt cruel. In the maddening depth below, the water tricked his eyes and he was certain he could see every person he'd lost looking back at him, reaching out hand, inviting him into a reunion. 3. I Want Luck, I Want Love, Sharing Earphones On The Bus Harry didn't respond. He stayed there nearly unmoving, his chest rising and falling as he breathed, hands rested on his stomach. He looked back down and for a moment, he thought he'd fliched, but than, nothing happened.Complete
Too far gone (Harry Potter)
It's Harry Potters fifth year and he's depressed. He has to deal with Voldemort's return, being plagued with nightmares about his friend Cedric's murder and being abused at home. That's right. The saviour of the wizarding world is beaten mercilessly by his Uncle and Cousin. His aunt starves him and verbally abuses him. Eventually he couldn't take it and started cutting, taking drugs, getting mindlessly drunk and street fighting illegally with his muggle friends. (They obviously don't know about magic but do know about his home life). This is set from the summer before fifth year onwards. Let's see if his friends can save him before he's too far gone.Complete
Please...
Harry Potter is five years old now, though he does not look it. He looks more like a small four or three year old. But, that's not the end of it. The fact that none of his neighbors know he exists, that he sleeps in a cupboard, even that his parents are dead, is not the end, nor the worst of it. No, the worst, is his uncle. The reason he doesn't speak, look at anyone, barely even breathe. Each night, he hopes for someone to come and save him, but they never come. No matter how hard he wishes, how hard he hopes, it seems he will be stuck there forever, or until his slow, agonizing march to death ends. One night, after hoping and hoping, he starts to realize he will never get saved, helped, even comforted, for his entire life. What if he's wrong, and what if a certain Slytherin can heal this broken child? What if, in turn, this broken child can heal him? THIS IS NOT SNARRY!! If that's your thing that's fine, but HARRY IS FIVE IN THIS FANFIC!! NOT SNARRY!! Do not repost on any other website/account without my permission.Complete
The Girl Who Saw Tomorrow III » Harry Potter
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 :)
Unloved (Marauders Era)

Emma Loren comes from a bad home. She has been Unloved for most of her life. Until she got to come to Hogwarts. She went from being unloved to being loved.... For now.

Fire Starter ~(Completed)
They say that a lack of control is the start of most problems. Well, a childhood fear of the dark isn't so compliicated, all you need for that is a wand or a lighter. It's a pity that they won't solve the rest of my issues... // Trigger warnings: Self harm, burning, death, some gay shit (but if you're on Wattpad you kind of have to be ok with that but, you know, just in case, there are still some crazies out there) Obviously, I can take no credits for any of the beautiful characters that our lord and saviour (not Deliah Smith) Queen JK has created, so obviously all credit goes to her, I just made up a plotComplete
Bound by Soul
Warning! This story contains repeated mentions of self harm, occasional attempted suicide, and Blood. No in depth descriptions, but now you know what you're getting into, you may proceed. When life is meaningless, and death rejects you, there is nowhere to turn. Harry Potter didn't expect much for his birthday. He didn't expect anything. The Dursley's never cared, why would they now? Harry was nine, and there was one birthday gift he could give himself; Freedom. The only problem; he was 'saved', and promptly sequestered in the smallest bedroom, which had been cleared of any and all potentially dangerous objects. Just his luck, the wizarding world was expecting him, and his head of house is reluctantly growing deeply concerned for him. But really, who said the 'Boy-who-Lived' had to want to?
