    Harry had spent most of his life being told he didn’t belong. Being told he was useless, a waste of space, someone that shouldn’t exist. Most times, he’d believed it. This time, though, the words rang false. This was where he was meant to be, this was the place he’d always been missing. This was a place where he could finally, finally be himself and – although he wasn’t too sure about Professor Snape in particular – no one would force him to be something else.
