3Harry awoke to darkness, discomfort, and impossibility.
4
5He was in the cupboard. Impossible. He and Hermione had personally flattened
6this entire house shortly after the war. The Weasleys had disapproved, saying
7Harry should forgive his relatives, but this was before the love potions had
8kicked in again and removed his free will.

10How could he be in the cupboard?
11
12And why was he *small?*

14Harry began to hyperventilate. Nothing was making sense, this couldn't be
15happening—

17"TIME TO GET UP, FREAK! WHY DON'T I SMELL BREAKFAST COOKING?"

19The tiny door was wrenched open, and Harry saw a dead man silhouetted against
20the morning light.
21
22"DON'T MAKE ME DRAG YOU OUT OF THERE, BOY! GET UP!"

25would never forget the rules and demands of the Dursley household. He rushed out
26of the cupboard and hurried to begin preparing his captors' meal.

29stolen glance at his uncle's newspaper confirmed the date — July 31st, 1987.
30Seven years old. How was he seven years old?
31
32He was pretty sure he could still feel his magic, but to be certain he'd need to
33reestablish his Occlumency, and with the damage Snape had done there was no way
34he could manage that in this emotional climate.
