Summary
Harry’s four now- It seems he can’t do much of anything right, He’s nearly always getting yelled at or getting smacked. He can’t remember the last time the welts on the back of his thighs weren’t a sickly purple colour from Uncle Vernon’s belt. He wasn’t allowed to go to school, he had to stay home- in his cupboard. He’s stopped chewing with the left side of his face gradually, the teeth there ache especially bad at night. Harry’s face feels swollen on that side, the pain is unbearable when aunt Petunia does remember to brush his teeth.

Summary
Harry had always been different. He had never once in his life felt as if he fit in. He had never once felt a well and true sense of belonging, there was no concrete reason for this. A very large part of his soul had been so relieved to find the magic inside him revealed as more than just a trick his eyes played on him or a result of a past head trauma. He was severely disappointed to find he was still an outsider in the wizarding world.
Harry would never say it out loud for fear of offending those around but- how does one manage to be a freak in a sea of freaks?
Or
Harry's undiagnosed autistic and struggle to process embarrassment, He doesn't understand how loved he really is.
