Harry dealing with abuse trauma/people finding out about Dursley’s treatment
Ok so I didn’t know exactly how to word this particular genre of Harry Potter fanfiction, but I have been reading some fanfics where either the teachers, Sirius or the golden trio find out that Harry has been abused by the Dursley’s and how Harry deals or heals from that trauma. #cupboardreveal
so therefore below is a list of fanfics that deal with this topic, this is pretty obvious but TW for child abuse, some of these I haven’t read yet so i don’t think any of them feature active abuse, more so past abuse.
All of these will be angst but many with a hopeful/happy ending. Organised by word count. If you would like some fic recs that don’t focus on Harrys abuse here’s the link to my master list Harry Potter Fic Rec (mostly Drarry)

HP thoughts and headcanons
I just read again the whole HP series and I've fallen into my HP phase
Firstly I started thinking about one line Dumbledore has in the seventh book; the sorting is too early. I would love au, where the kids are sorted later, like in the fourth or fifth year. It would make the relationships between houses much better.
Some headcanons now:
I love to think that Ron and Neville are actually great friends. Like they both give me 'im insecure, but my friends can't be insecure' vibe. They would be safe person to each other.
Okay, I know this is controversial, but I think that Molly is a bad mother to some of her children. Not all of them but some of them. I understand that Harry needs a motherly figure, but she treats him better than Ron, Fred and George. Like these three are just so overlooked by her.
Most of these headcanons are about Ron, bcs he deserves the world, and I won't stand any ron weasley bashing. He loves cooking, especially baking. Like he would give his friends some baked goods as presents bcs he could not afford to buy presents. He would be really nervous about it, but his friends would love the treats. I also see him opening a bakery in the future bcs tbh he isn't auror material.
Also, I love good brother Percy. He has a specific way of supporting his brothers, but he would stand with them against the world.
One last thing, in deathly hallows, none of the Slytherins stayed for the battle, and I think that's bullshit. Just because Harry thinks every Slytherin is bad, it doesn't mean all of them are bad. Some of them would stay. Like in the same book, Harry tells his son that it's okay to be Slytherin, and it doesn't mean he is bad. A few chapters back, he called all the Slytherins cowards. I hate this. Some of them would stay. Fight me on this.

Don’t get me wrong I like Molly well enough, but honestly I don’t understand why everyone loves her. She doesn’t seem great.
Hear me out!!! Before you get mad, let me explain…
She constantly degrades her children, comparing them to each othe. She is always shaming them when they don’t reach her expectations.
Bill: his job is too dangerous, she doesn’t like his wife, she doesn’t like his earring. YET, he is the top curse breaker for gringotts, and gets not credit for it.
Charlie: His hair is too long, his job is too dangerous, he doesn’t come home often enough. YET, he is one of the best dragon trainers, and gets no praise.
Percy: apparently he is perfect, even though he left home and pretty much called them all losers.
Fred & George: they don’t focus on school enough, they cause too much trouble, they aren’t smart. YET, they are incredibly intelligent, there is no way they could create those pranks without serious skill, still not praise or credit.
Ron: he isn’t smart enough, he hasn’t accomplished anything his brothers have. YET, he helped save the wizarding world countless times alongside Harry, he gets credit though.
Ginny: well she’s just perfect, all because she’s the only girl.
Even with her own husband, she is always pushing him around, never listening to him. She makes demands and talks for him.
I’m not saying she isn’t a good mother, and i’m not saying I hate her character, I just think she doesn’t appreciate her children enough for who they are. She took in Harry, and that was wonderful, but what about her kids?
She’s always trying to mold each of her children into something that they aren’t. She wants each of them to be respectable ministry workers, even if that’s not what they want.
Personally, I am not a mother, but I think what any good mother should be accepting of their children. I don’t think a good mother should point out all of her children’s shortcomings, while ignoring their accomplishments.
Anyways, thank you for listening to my long as hell ted talk darlings!! 😚
