If the Trio had gone to a certain Muggle detective for help finding horcruxes, how would the story have been different? DH spoilers, obviously. Rated for dark themes and deaths and some violence.

AU to Harry's third year. Snape goes to check on Harry and Privet Drive, and is surprised at what diSarmingly finds. Can he bring Harry out of the darkness? Warning: Includes abuse, self-harm, and suicidal thinking and attempts. No slash. ((On hold :( ))

Remus/OC Important author's note at start.

One shot. Little Harry is not tired; he just doesn't want to go to bed! Maybe he can get his mummy and daddy to tell him a story.. or three.

What happens when Death visits Harry one too many times?
