A/N: Here's a glimpse into Harry's mind – before Hogwarts:
Dead: 101 words
Spending your life knowing your parents are dead is hard.
Not remembering them is even harder.
It was on the cold nights Harry spent trapped under the stairs that Harry longed to be beside them once more.
He wanted them to embrace him with open arms, to be hugged for the first time in a long time.
But he knew it was impossible.
His parents were dead, and he didn't know why.
Worst of all, he didn't have anyone to love him.
And tears staining his pillow, Harry would cry himself to sleep in hopes that one day that would change.
