[Songs of Summer]: Growing Up Grimmauld, 1/4
Jun. 22nd, 2025 10:12 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
lomonaaerenTitle: Growing Up Grimmauld
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: None, gen
Content Notes: AU, child abuse and neglect, animal harm, slightly feral Harry, humor, angst, blood, gore, pureblood bigotry (not by Harry), unreliable narrator
Rating: PG-13
Summary: AU. Harry accidentally Apparates to an empty Grimmauld Place when he’s nine instead of to the top of the school roof when he escapes Dudley’s gang. The house is empty except for portraits and sometimes a speaking wooden face, and Harry has to kill his own food, and there’s something nasty in the cellars, and some of the portraits are mad. But this is still a vast improvement over the Dursleys.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “Songs of Summer,” shorter fics being posted between the summer solstice and the first of August. Chobani asked for Harry accidentally Apparating to Grimmauld Place and surviving there on his own. It will have three or four parts.
