    Summary

    He knew fifth year would be hard. Harry expected nightmares about Cedric, endless detentions and the beginning of Voldemort's return. He was ready to hear the whispers, the unsure looks of caution and the isolation that followed.

    What he didn't expect was the relief of skipping dinner, the control he felt when the blade slashed across his skin or just how easy it had become to push everyone away.

    After witnessing the murder of Cedric Diggory, Harry begins to find a way to deal with the guilt that followed. Desperate for something to ease the pain, he begins hurting himself in secret. Harry begins to disappear in ways his friends never expected. He cant sleep, he's too afraid to eat, he has no energy to speak anymore. Nobody seems to understand why he is so angry all of the time and Harry doesn't have it in him to tell them because admitting something is wrong feels worse than drowning in it alone.

    But Harry cant hide his problems forever, people begin to notice especially a professor he never thought would care. By the time people begin to notice, Harry has sunk so deep into depression that he no longer sees a future past the war.

    Disappearing is easy, Recovering is not.

    Summary

    After the events of his fourth year, Harry Potter finds that he is unwilling to suffer any more than necessary.

    Nightmares of the graveyard are leaving him exhausted, stressed, and willing to do anything for a good night's rest. However much Harry might try, he can't stay awake forever, and he does not want to watch Cedric Diggory die every time he closes his eyes. If a potion can spare him that ordeal, then one dose can't hurt.

    Then another.

    And then a few more.

    Unfortunately, some solutions come with side effects.

    Summary

    “Remus, he needs someone who can connect with him…” Minerva’s voice had a desperate edge to it, “He doesn’t trust us.”

    “And you think he’ll trust me? I’m as much a stranger to him as you.” He turned his eyes to Dumbledore, pushing past the discomfort as they made eye contact and his soul was pierced by the shrewd gaze.

    “We think he may trust you because you and he have similar… backgrounds.”

    He frowns at her, trying to put the pieces of what she’s saying together. Similar backgrounds? Shitty childhoods, maybe?

    “Harry was not attacked.” Dumbledore says, breaking the silence, “He perpetrated it.”

    A cold chill runs through Remus’ body. His mouth is suddenly far too dry and he feels as if bands wrap around his chest. He shakes his head.

    “What?” He wheezes out, feeling all at once that his chest will cave in when he hears what Dumbledore has to say.

    “I’m sorry to have to tell you this.” Dumbledore sounds truly grieved, and Remus feels bile rise in his throat. He’d used that same tone of voice when he’d found him after news about James and Lily, Peter and Sirius had broken. Had it really already been four years since he’d lost them?

    “Harry is an Obscurial.”

    Summary

    “Do you actually have a place to live?”

    Dennis has never been a good liar, and Jack Abbot’s unrelenting stare might as well be a polygraph test.

    “I’m currently between places,” he admits.

    Abbot works his jaw, head tilting to the side as he continues to assess Dennis like he’s a patient in his ED.

    “Do you own a car?” He asks, his voice sounding softer to Dennis but maybe it's just dampened by the sound of his own pulse in his ears.

    “Not at the moment, no, I’m actually-”

    “Between cars?” Abbot finishes for him.

    Shame pushes Dennis’s head down. “Yeah, something like that.”

    Abbot continues to stare at him -does this guy ever blink?- before he sighs and shakes his head.

    "Alright, pack your shit," He orders, clearly having heard enough.

    -

    Jack discovers Dennis instead of Trinity. Behind closed doors, neither of them is really holding it together, and an unlikely support system is formed.
