I’ve seen a handful of AUs where Harry is deaf and I love it but it also makes me laugh because I just imagine Tom Riddle monologuing in the Chamber of Secrets and finally turning to a confused Harry who just signs “I’m deaf” and Tom is just like ??????
Voldemort isn’t present Harry’s 3rd year because his spirit is too busy learning sign language because god forbid he can’t monologue to Harry Potter come 4th year when he finally has a body.
When I were a lad I wasn’t always the nicest guy. I remember that I used to bully Green Tea a lot. Not something I’m really proud of. I mean, I ran into Green Tea the other day, and I did apologize. He did accept my apology but I can tell he is still bitter
