A/N: I know this is short. I hope to have another chapter up either today or tomorrow, and my winter vacation starts at the end of this week, so I'll have lots more time to work on this.

I had originally planned for Harry to have real psychological problems. But then I started doubting myself. Could I really make Harry crazy? Could I really do this?

But, no, this is not a trick of Voldemort's, it's the real deal.

Bear in mind that this is not "real" psychology. I'm just a high school student who is not even in a Psych class. I have not done any research into psychological disorders whatsoever.

I'm sure you can guess who Petrovitch is.

Thanks so much to everyone who's reviewed, you really make my day.

Conversations With Petrovitch

Dear Mr. Petrovitch,

Iam writing to you concerning the son of your late friend, James Potter. Harry has a psychological condition I wish to speak to you about, in person if possible. I am not yet sure of the extent of the damage done to him due to the neglect he has received, but I am sure it would be significant. Harry has shut himself steadfastedly inside a dream world, most probably to block out the horrible events that were taking place in his real life at the time. Over the next few weeks, I hope to have him open up to me about this dream life.

I understand that Sam Black, Harry's original godfather, passed on one year ago. With the recent, tragic death of Robert Lucas, the "backup" godfather, if you will, you are the "next in line" for guardianship of Harry.

You might wish to know what this entails. I would like to insist that Harry remain at school for a few more weeks so I can moniter him, but it would be best for him to be moved into a family setting as soon as possible. He will, of course, return to school in the fall. I am aware of your recent divorce, and rest assured that whatever you and your daughers are going through will not harm Harry's progress in any way. In fact, Harry is a wonderful, caring boy, who seems to enjoy comforting others in times of need. Having him observe the healing process would be most helpful.

Harry's world is falling apart around him; what he needs now is love and care. I must ask you not take on this task if you are not up to it. Negative results could destroy the boy.

If this endeavor fails, I hardly need to tell you that it will be nearly impossible for Harry to lead a productive adult life. Make your choice wisely. Remember, it is our choices that show what we truly are.

Hoping to hear from you soon,

Ogden Rami
