Chapter 1: The Diary
21 year-old William Potter stared at the house in front of him and shivered. It was old, the paint had already peeled off from its walls and the windows were dirty. The garden was messy. No one had taken care of the place for over 20 years.
But that's not why young William shivered.
This house actually belonged to his deceased father, Harry Potter.
It was only two weeks ago on his 21st birthday before his guardian Ginny Weasley told him that his father had a house here in Godric's Hollow and now he was 21, he had the inheritance of it and was allowed to move in anytime he wanted.
But today, William just wanted to check out what's the house was like before he moved in.
William had no recollection of the place. Ginny had told him that he had only spent the first month of his life there with his mother, Hermione Granger and his father, and obviously, he couldn't remember any moment of it.
The reason William didn't grow up here was his parents died when he just a few months old, "hanged by those bastards at the Ministry for something they hadn't done", as Ginny said. William was adopted by Ginny and he went to live in The Burrow with her. That's the end of the story.
Shifting the dry leaves and dead branches aside at the garden, William made his way to the door. Then he hesitated before he took out the key that Ginny gave him to open it.
Nervously, William pushed the door open. It opened with a loud squeak.
William went in and stepped into the front room. He squeezed. The house was dark and musty, since no one had lived here for over two decades. He rushed to the windows and opened them, letting in fresh air and light.
William then looked around the room. There was a moth-eaten sofa, old lamps and dusty furniture. The place seriously needed renovation.
"So this is where Dad lived…" thought William and he went upstairs.
He opened the first room and immediately went to open the window. Then he turned around.
There's a queen size bed and a study desk. This was probably his father's bedroom. Everything was left untouched, included the bed, which was unmade.
William made his way to the desk. He found a pair of glasses, which must be his father's. Smiling slightly, William took the glasses and tried it on. Then he turned to the mirror beside the bed.
He shuddered at his reflection. He looked too much like his father, it looks like Harry Potter himself was staring right back at him in the mirror.
Still, William kept the glasses on. Maybe he could surprise Ginny when he got back to The Burrow.
William looked at all the books on the shelf at the desk. There were books on Quidditch, magic and…
William blinked. There was a black leather book with no title on its spine. Curiously, William took the book from the shelf.
The golden text on the book said: My Diary
William's eyes widened. It's his father's diary!
William quickly flipped through it and found the last entry was 2nd of October 2004, months before his parents were hanged.
William never knew much about his parents, Ginny just said that they were hanged. For what crime, she didn't say, and William didn't ask.
Maybe reading this diary would help him to understand his parents better… but still, it's Harry's diary. William knew that he shouldn't read it…
Finally, his curiosity got the best of him (one trait that he inherited from Harry) and he flipped it open.
Knock knock knock.
William looked up and closed the diary. Puzzled, he went downstairs. Who could possibly come and knock the door of an abandoned house?
The knocking continued.
William hurried and opened the door. His jaws dropped.
"M-Mum?"
The pretty brunette in front of him gasped. "Harry?"
