McLosing It™️

To go along with that, his entire life pre-Hogwarts (and honestly during Hogwarts) was a game of “runaway for as long as you can until you can beat the game”, so he’s built up a lot of beneficial habits associated with being a flight risk that stresses everyone out.

For example, he keeps food on him constantly in pockets you didn’t even know he had. He shares when asked but Ron has an ongoing theory that Harry has a secret hiding spot he doesn’t tell anyone about.

Furthermore, following mostly canon, he spends hours upon hours flying. He’ll do this naturally, but when he’s close to that month long mark he starts getting obsessive with it as it’s the only way he doesn’t feel constrained. He also becomes more risky on his broom, it gives everyone grey hairs not just Severus.

Usually he doesn’t get to that month mark thought since he’ll sneak away in the middle of the night under his invisibility cloak without telling anyone.

Somehow, Snape always finds out the day after and gives the sad disappointed father sigh (TM) - yes he did put a tracker on him, no Harry has not figured it out yet.

Moving onto more general stuff though, Harry never unpacks his bags. Whether it’s the Dursleys, The Weasleys, Grimmauld Place, or Spinners end, he never unpacks. The only exception to this is Hogwarts after Christmas break.

It becomes more obvious in classes just how uncomfortable he is with the act of staying. Of course part of it could be blamed on undiagnosed ADHD, but he seems to chronically fidget, and has a fixation on cataloguing all possible exits in any given room.

On especially bad days he’ll give his professors whatever excuse he can come up with just to walk around Hogwarts for a couple of minutes.

The worst part is I can’t even imagine him losing this flight risk status as an adult. In fact, it would probably be worse with access to the floo, brooms and apparition.
