Summary
“Are you quite alright, Professor Potter?” Snape asked evenly.
“Yes,” Harry lied. “I’m fine.”
“I realize that this subject makes you uncomfortable,” Snape said, adjusting his collar, “as it does most people. However, do realize that Amelia Awlyn is not the first case of sexual abuse Hogwarts has seen, and she more than likely will not be the last. These are the sort of things one must grow used to taking care of as a teacher in this school, in any school. While we are unable to prevent these things from happening, the important thing is that we are doing all we can to help now.”
Harry wondered where all this help was when he was attending Hogwarts.
Snape glanced at Harry and sniffed. “You did the right thing in coming to me.”
Harry tried to alter his memory and imagine what it would sound like to hear those words in Dumbledore’s voice.
OR
It's Harry Potter's first year teaching DADA at Hogwarts under Headmaster Snape. It's a job that makes him feel good and put together like an adult, until a student comes to tell him something about her home life that takes Harry right back to his own troubled childhood.

Summary
“It’s okay to still be upset about it, you know,” Harry murmured, hand still held against her cheek. “Just because it’s over doesn’t mean that you’re over it.”
And that was the crux of the matter, wasn’t it?
It was over and everyone just assumed that meant that she was over it. She had healed okay on the outside, she hadn’t died though she had come so close, so she must be okay on the inside too, right?

Summary
Harry Potter had no one left in the world who cared, 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?
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.
