The term continues on after Sirius' death, and Harry Potter is not okay. Wandering about aimlessly, Harry attempts to be who everyone wants him to be while slowly coming undone. Life has never been easy for The Boy Who Lived in the Cupboard Under the Stairs, but this is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Will anybody notice that Harry Potter is breaking? Is there hope? Perhaps it will soon ring true that "not all who wander are lost."

- chapters seem a little short. Could you maybe flesh some of this out more. You've packed lots of conflict in each chapter so far, but not really built up any context by the way of character (is harry depressed, or numb--as the title implies--two very different states, for example)
Author's Response:
Thank you for the honest feedback! I agree about chapter length. I'm afraid to say that amidst being so busy I have used this story as a place to let things out. The next chapters will definitely be longer. As far as Harry is concerned, he is both depressed and numb at times. The story picks up at a time when a devastating event (Sirius' death) has occurred and emotions once repressed, as well as grief, are surfacing. This is why he is sometimes okay, sometimes feels nothing, and is sometimes in turmoil.
I hope the next chapter flushes things out. Please let me know, and thank you again!
