Summary: ABANDONED:- When the wards suddenly fall at Privet Drive, members of the Order immediately apparate to the location to find the Dursley parents dead – and their mistreated nephew locked in the cupboard under the stairs. Retrieving the boy is but the start of a long road to recovery. Can time truly heal? Or will even the magic of Hogwarts prove inadequate sanctuary for a wary, abused child?

Story Notes:
Rated primarily for child abuse, although the bulk of the story itself could probably safely be rated lower.
This is a story idea that's been bouncing around my head for a while that I started on a whim, last night. Should I have started this story, as yet? Proooobably not. I have two WIPs over at ff.net already, and the Halloween fest tale I'm working on, but... well, here we are anyway. Be sure to let me know what you all think! I have some very specific ideas about what I want to happen, but there is a lot of room for new ideas along the way, so be sure to give me a shout!
Also, despite the rather bleak and angsty beginning, I have every intent of this becoming a mostly happy, light-hearted tale.
