How old do you think Harry was when they first put him in the cupboard?
Did Vernon put him in there the night he arrived at their doorstep? Or did he wait until he could use a bed instead of a cot? Did Vernon put a three-year-old boy, a boy with eyes too big for his face and unruly black hair standing in every direction, unsure what he did wrong to not be called “sweetheart” by Petunia, unsure why his uncle seemed to hate him, in a cupboard under the stairs?
Do you think Harry cried the first few days? Scared? And that he then gave up after a week, knowing no one was going to help him, and he got used to being locked away?Because I think he did, and now I’m sad.
oh no this post
Why would there be a bed in dudley’s second bedroom? I think harry used to sleep there, but then he lost the privilege to have a proper place to sleep
This is too much before noon
I read a theory a while back that suggested that Harry probably hid in the cupboard at one stage – he was a young child who’d been through a trauma and who had then been thrust into a new and not-very-pleasant situation, and small children like having safe hidey-holes when they’re upset, so harry probably found the cupboard under the stairs to be a nice little secure place he could hide away in. And then the dursleys went “well ok if you like it so much in there you can stay in there,” and turned it from his safe place into his prison.
Oh my god you made it worse
Sing–and singing–remember, your song dies and changes; and is not here to-morrow, any more than the wind blowing ten thousand years ago.
