A/N: Okay, this got a bit more twisted than intended, but I thought it would be an interesting way to Harry to turn out. Hope you enjoy.

Freaks Deserve to be PunishedFor ten years, for as long as he could remember, Harry had lived with the Dursleys. They had told him that he was a freak. Freaks get punished ( ... )

This is an example of AUs getting it right. Well, more like getting AUs right. I've seen really crappy examples of AUs, but this is really good. What a lovely, chilling read.
