Note
Hi AllI know there are tags that may be concerning for some readers, specifically the PTSD and Self Harm tag. Harriet has PTSD from childhood abuse and from experiencing aspects of war from the moment she set foot in the Wizarding World. This will be a recurring theme and will not be cured. Harriet is a child being put through war and abuse, and she will have to face the unfortunate consequences that come with it. Emotional damage and instability and all. Along with this comes some unhealthy coping mechanisms, which will not be as recurring. They will only show up when she is especially distressed and overwhelmed. These coping mechanisms are described with the Self Harm tag, and manifest as scratching herself/hitting her head during panic or anxiety attacks. No cutting of any kind, which I know is what most people think of when they think of "self harm". It will be explained why exactly she does these things, but not for a while. If you as a reader are triggered or upset by any of these topics, please refrain from reading this work. Your safety and well being always comes first. I posted this story before, but I've changed some things around.Anyway, here is take two, electric boogaloo. -IPrompt Used (by one-lonely-whumperfly on tumblr)The hero shows up at the villain’s doorstep one night. They’re shivering, bleeding, scared. There’s also a slightly dazed look in their eyes– they were drugged. They look like they were assaulted. Looking up at the villain, swaying slightly as they’re close to passing out, they mumble “…didn’t know where else to go…” then collapse into the villain’s arms.
