Timothy Potter grew up in a wizarding family. He had two parents who treated him fairly and with amazing kindness. He had one younger brother named James as well. When Tim was eleven years old he received a letter saying that he had been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Of course this was inevitable, but his parents were thrilled none the less.
He went back to Hogwarts each year for seven years. He had many friends and was an extremely skilled wizard. He did unbelievably well in all his classes and he liked all of his teachers.
Tim had a very happy childhood.
After he left Hogwarts, he wanted to work for the Ministry of Magic. Seeing as his grades were all perfect he had no trouble being accepted.
Timothy was still happy.
All the while he was at school, there had been a dark danger. He was protected from it at school but he knew it existed. It was Lord Voldemort.
Tim was never affected by him though. His family was untouched as were the families of his friends. But after he left school, the reality hit him hard. Lord Voldemort was real, active, and extremely dangerous.
A few years after his little brother James left school, he got married. His wife, Lily, was very good friends with Tim. They had a little boy named Harry who Tim absolutely adored.
When it was known that Voldemort was after Harry, James and his family were to go into hiding. Timothy wanted to be secret keeper but Dumbledore said it would have been to obvious. Timothy was furious.
Alas, that was what Dumbledore did in Tim's life. Kept him away.
So when Voldemort killed James and Lily and Harry survived, Timothy offered right away to take the child. Dumbledore declared that Harry must stay with Lily's relatives. James was disgusted. He had met those muggles on one occasion and they were horrible. Always sniffing and turning their noses up at every little thing to do with Lily and her family.
But that was what Dumbledore did. Shut Timothy out.
And now, 15 years later, Tim's only nephew, Harry Potter, was sixteen, and had never met him. Harry didn't even know he existed.
