It´s my first fanfiction on Harry Potter and despite of what o write, i hope you like this story.
The story bellow, takes place one week after the events of the epilogue in Deadly Hallows, following strictly all the events described trough the series; The only difference, is that for this story, i decided to write Harry as a single father, as Ginny passed a year before the events of this story.
Othr than that, differently from my other works, this story is writen as if they were letters, instead of an actual story and it´s inspired by another fanfiction i read on this site.
Oh, Yes, this story also doesn´t follow the storyline of 'The Cursed Child'
Have a great reading time.
Please, enjoy
Part 1
39-year old Harry Potter sat alone on the kitchen table of his house, a cup of coffee on his left hand, while reading a letter, an owl had just brought to him. It was a letter from Albus, his younger son, who had been send to Hogwarts barely a week ago and was anxious to tell him, everything about it.
From Albus Severus Potter To Harry James Potter
September 5, 2017.
Dear Father,
My first week at Hogwarts, has been far beyond expectations, this school, it is indeed everything you and Mother have always said, I am amazed.
Before I start writing the rest of the letter, I have something important to tell; I was selected to Ravenclaw House, I had decided to trust on the Sortieing Hat and it put me on Ravenclaw, because, as it said, I'm wise; you think he´s correct?
At first, I confess I was a bit disappointed, as I rather be with James and Rose at Gryffindor, but on the other hand, I rather Ravenclaw, or any other house than Slytherin. However, I still get to talk to James and Rose during recess and study time and it´s cool.
I also made a few friends, Joseph Leerie and his twin brother, John, they are nice and funny, likes to joke around and play pranks in everyone. And they are also Muggle-born, like Aunt Hermione. Ah, there´s a girl, she came from Norway, her name is Elsa Andersen, she´s friendly, but also a bit annoying and want to show the teachers she knows everything, about everything and she keeps asking me questions about you. These friends I mentioned are all from my house, but I made a few friends from Gryffindor as well, although I don´t talk with them much.
Other than that, been at Hogwarts are pretty fun, I like to go exploring during recess time with James and Mr. Filtch almost catches us one day, but thanks to Teddy, we manage to scape.
My favorite classes are Potions, with Professor Slughorn, who keeps reminding me all the time that I look like you; and Herbology, but latterly I realized Professor Longbotton a bit stressed.
Tomorrow, I will have my first flight lesson and I'm a bit scared, James said it was one of the hard classes he had on his first year and that Madame Hooch isn´t nice. Father, did you got afraid in your first flight lessons? What I should do?
And Father. How are things around home? Is Lily missing us? I miss you very much and miss Lilly too, but James said you must be just fine.
Hope you are proud of us and do you think Mother would be proud of us too?
We see you on Christmas
Your son
Albus
PS. Hagrid send you his best regards.

From Harry Potter to Albus Severus Potter
September 7, 2017
Dear son,
I am glad to know that your first week at Hogwarts was pleasant to you and I´m proud that you have trusted the sortieing Hat, to choose your house, you were much braver than I, my son, and yes, the hat You are right, sometimes, even I am amazed at your wisdom, especially in this last year.
However Albus, as I told you before, a house it´s just a house, it´s doesn´t really matters to me if you had been sorter to Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff or even Slytherin. What does matter to me, is that you and your siblings became great people and exemplary wizards, that's what your mother and I raised you, James and Lily.
So, don´t be disappointed with your house, do your best to earn it points and always be friendly with your group. While that, I'm glad you still can manage to spend time with your brother from time to time.
Albus please, don´t you get yourself in trouble, as the last thing I wish is a letter from Headmistress McGonagall telling me you got yourself, your brother and your friends in trouble, so do your father a favor, explore the castle, whatever you pleased, but always step inside of the line.
About your classes, well, Professor Slughorn is really very nostalgic, but he's a good professor and i´m happy you´re enjoying his classes. On the other hand, Albus, you know Neville had a harder year than us, so whatever motive he have to be stressed, you aren´t in position to ask questions, just do whatever he say and pay attentions in your classes.
Albus Severus, how many times I must tell you, don´t believe in everything your brother say about hogwash, he enjoys tease you. Madame Hooch is a good person, sometimes she seems a bit harsh, but not all the time. So just pay attention in what she say and you will be alright.
As for my first flying lessons, I don´t remember been afraid, at that time I was so impressed that magic did exist, that I think my excitement grew larger than my fear and I ended up saving Professor Longbottom in the blink of an eye, when he got himself in danger.
Albus, around here everything is alright and I'm not feeling alone in the slight, I have your sister to keep me company and Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione, came to visit almost every day, as well as your grandmother and grandfather. Do you believe they are trying to convince me to move to the Burrows? I told them, I have to discuss it with you three first.
And speaking of your sister, she does miss you and James very much and asks about you two every day, she will be happy that you wrote asking for her.
Good luck my son, I'm really proud of you and I'm sure, whatever she is, your mother is smiling down to you, with her heart full of pride.
Write me again as soon as you can, I'm anxious to know more about your experiences at the school.
Yours
Father.
Finishing the letter, the father flded it carefully and took a slip of his coffee, with a mix and proud and insecurity on his face. than, with a small glace toward Ginny´s picture, he just wished he was doin everything the right way.
