Fic: Hello, My Name is Boy
Jul. 31st, 2020 03:01 pmTitle: Hello, My Name is Boy
Rating: Teen (for now)
Characters & Pairing: Harry Potter (maybe /snape in future?)
Word Count: 3.6K
Content: mentions/reference child abuse, self-indulgent self-insert, rated for swearing
Disclaimer: Not mine
Summary: At the age of 10, an accident at school lands Harry in the hospital with a concussion. Unfortunately, the person who wakes up is not the same little boy. An adult's perspective on Harry's home and school life does not paint a good picture. They think it's hard enough surviving in the 'normal' world. They're in for a rude awakening when it sinks in that magic is real, and that they really are trapped in a book series. At 10 years old going on 30, they are too old for this shit.
A/N: A while ago I went on a Self-insert reading binge and this little story is the result of it. Finally decided to post it! It's not exactly a self-insert, more an OC exploration of one. It's a way for me to have fun with the tropes as well as explore some of the more forked up things in the magical world. It'll be a mix of humour and angst for the most part.
For now I’m just gonna treat it as a two-shot but may add more chapters as inspiration hits me. If I do add more it will not be a retread of the books (beyond what is necessary for the story), but more an exploration of specific scenarios. Basically the troubles and tribulations that come with an adult brain in a child’s body. The tags will change depending on where my head goes. I'm leaning towards Snape playing a pretty major role as well as not sorting 'Harry' into Gryfindor (I'm personally a fan of Hufflepuff Harry) but am undecided at the moment.
