Asexual Harry Potter - Tumblr Posts

It began like this:

On the night of the 1st of November, little Harry Potter was placed on the doorstep of Mr and Mrs Dursley’s house at Number 4, Privet Drive. The next morning, a scream woke little Harry when Mrs Dursley opened the front door to put out the milk bottles and found him lying there, a letter tucked into his blankets.

Had this been an ordinary baby, the poor thing would have died of hypothermia. But Harry was not an ordinary baby, nor would he grow up into an ordinary child, no matter how much the Dursleys tried to beat the freakishness out of him. Little Harry grew up knowing he was a freak and that he had to keep his freakishness hidden. The easiest way to do so, he found, was to keep his head down and his emotions in check. The anger stopped soon enough. The constant fear he managed to keep close to his chest.

In which a small change in the Dursleys’ treatment of Harry brings about rather significant consequences.
