DISCLAIMER- Just playing in JKR's world. She owns HP et catera, not me
Being of sound mind and body, and under no influence of potion or curse, We, James Charlus Potter and Lilly Evans-Potter, do declare this to be our last will and testament and render all previous wills null and void, this 5th day of October, 1981 A.D.
If Lily survives this she is to receive half the Potter estate while the other half is to go to our son Harry. In the event we have both perished, then we set forth the following directives.
First, to Mrs. Pettigrew, mother of our friend Peter, We leave the sum of 50,000 Galleons. Money cannot replace your son, but we hope the money we leave you will cover you medical expenses. Please forgive us and be proud of your son. We cannot express how sorry we are to have involved Peter. If we are dead, then he has forced to give our location to Voldemort. We had hoped that using Sirius as a decoy would keep the Death-Eaters away from Peter and keep him safe.
Next, to our friend Remus Lupin, we leave 100,000 galleons. Take the money Moony. Get clothes, get your potions and help take care of Harry. He'll need you to balance Sirius. Get a girl and stop pining over your furry little problem. It does not prevent you from being loved. We never ran from you. Neither will the right girl.
To Sirius Orion Black, we leave our greatest treasure, our son Harry. We know the marauder in you will raise him in the image of James, but we pray you will seek the council of Remus and not totally corrupt our son. You also don't want an irate Lily waiting for you on the other side. Find a nice girl and settle down Padfoot. We would leave you money, but we know you have enough of your own. Take care of Harry for us.
Finally to our son Harrison James Potter. Son, we love you. You were the greatest achievement of our lives. There is nothing we wouldn't have done for you. We leave you all of our estate minus the few bequests already mentioned. We would give up every knut to have even one more hour with you, but fate has apparently had a different plan. We can't teach you this ourselves and can only hope Sirius and Remus can explain it. There is no line between light and dark. We are judged by the actions we take. A summoning charm can kill just as easily as a killing curse It is all in your intent. Have fun, snog a few girls and enjoy life, but try to do what is right more often than doing what is easy. We will be waiting for you and watching, but we had better not see you join us for a very long time.
In the even that Sirius Black is not available, we have attached a list of acceptable guardians for our son Harry. Under no circumstance is he o be placed with Lily's sister Petunia. That woman is the muggle equivalent of a Death-eater and will torture Harry. DO NOT ENTRUST HIM TO HER!
