HP-It's Not Paranoia If They Really Are Out to Get You
Status
Summary
Abused children do not blindly trust adults/other authority figures. They often develop a non-delusional form of paranoia just to minimize their exposure to additional pain/suffering. They are weary of potential saviors, especially if "the system" has failed them. Imagine a less trusting Harry enters the wizarding world, one w/a confidant. Assumes Marauders graduated i '75.
