    Summary

    It was a long shot—an impossibly long shot—but it was all he had.

    Harry lunged for the photo, his bloodied nose dripping crimson onto the paper as he scrambled for something to write with. But Vernon had locked away all of Harry’s things to prevent him from contacting anyone. In desperation, Harry smeared his blood across the photo with trembling fingers, scrawling three words:

    Please help me.

    He signed it with a shaky, almost illegible ‘Harry’ before stumbling to Hedwig’s cage. He flung the door open and shoved the photo into her talons, his breath coming in sharp, uneven gasps. Vernon’s angry bellows grew louder as he forced the door open, splinters of wood flying into the room.

    “T-take it to Professor Snape!” Harry rasped, barely able to speak through the panic and exhaustion.

    Hedwig let out a distressed hoot as Harry squeezed her through the narrow bars of the window. He turned just as Vernon burst into the room, his face purple with fury, his breathing ragged.

    Summary

    They popped onto the scene in 2025 with one hit single and fizzled out just as quickly - what happened to Saja Boys? Forced by the whims of Patreon subscribers, YouTube Music Reviewer Todd in the Shadows covers the rise, fall (and possible sabotage?) of KPop's briefest boyband, while desperately trying to untangle the innuendos of "Soda Pop".
