The Raven Who Lived

An internal smile crept across Harry’s face. He was still Harry but not the boy, Harry, which everyone hated. And a bird could fly! If Dudley tried to bully him, why Harry could just fly away and sit in a tree. Dudley was too fat to climb a tree! Aunt Petunia and Uncle Dursley might be happier with him as a bird too! He took up even less space then when he was a boy and he probably didn’t need to eat as much either! Maybe he could convince Aunt Petunia to put up a birdhouse in the backyard and Harry could just live there instead of the cupboard. Harry was unsure of what chores he could do as a bird but he was sure his Aunt and Uncle could come up with something, they didn’t like him jobless.

A/N: Hello readers! Main inner thoughts as to why I choose a raven for Harry Potter:- Ravens are omnivorous (I don't think Harry is quite picky as the Dursley's often starved him and when they did feed him they didn't bother to consider what he liked versus disliked)-Ravens blend into their surroundings a lot and it's hard to tell one apart from the other (Perfect for young Harry who wants to avoid bringing attention to himself)-Ravens are acrobatic fliers that like to perform barrel rolls, somersaults, play with sticks midair to catch them (Quidditch lol)-Ravens are curious and observant (Harry is curious about everything and has lots of questions and gets a lot of his answers by observing things)
