Dear Diary,

                    I wrote about the stone in my last entry, right? Yes.  I am currently hiding out under my sheets in my four- poster with Scorpius. I’m writing in my diary and he’s reading it. James found the stone. He’s the biggest git in the world.   He obviously didn’t know what it was. OK, now back to my story.

                                   The moment the warm stone touched my fingertips touched the stone, it glowed. Not in the beautiful sun, but it felt natural. It glowed in greenish yellow, but the nice type, not the yucky vomity type. I took it home and started to cast spells on it. At one point, I even cast the Secmuseptra spell cause i was so frustrated!! I didn’t want to show mum or dad in case they took it away. When me and the boys where in Divination, James barged into my dormitory when some idiotic Slytherin told him the password and took the stone when he was playing around with my stuff . I wish I could have Scorpius as a brother instead of that intruder. He’s more annoying than a Boggart. I kept screaming at him until Lily had the sense and loyalty to disarm him and hang him mid-air and shut his mouth up. Although I think she only hexed him to get him back and also for her own entertainment. I then lost my mind and sent an owl to dad and the minute I sent it I regretted it. I vowed myself to not tell anyone else. I waited for a day or two and when dad didn’t reply, I gave up waiting for him, but after a week, I forgot all about the letter because I had the N.E.W.Ts coming up (as the professors constantly reminded us). At breakfast, a barn owl came in front me and showed a letter at me. I gave it three Knuts and tore it open it hoping it was from Uncle Bill with some tips for the N.E.W.Ts. But I saw my dad’s handwriting. That minute, I knew that something was wrong.

This is the part where I come in! Albus showed me the letter and started pacing the room. I knew that Albus found it somewhere next to the forest. I read the letter that said,

Dear Albus,

You say you found a stone next to the forest in the lake, don’t you? The stone is linked into my past. I think it’s time that you know about my past. Read this story very carefully.

Three brothers, travelling along a lonely, winding road at twilight reached a deep treacherous river where anyone who attempted to swim or wade would drown. Learned in the magical arts, the brothers conjured a bridge with their wands and proceed to cross.

Halfway through the bridge, a hooded figure stood before them. The figure was the enraged spirit of Death, cheated of his due. Death cunningly pretended to congratulate them and proceeds to award them with gifts of their own choosing.

The eldest brother, a combative man, asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence. Death granted his wish by fashioning the Elder Wand from a branch of a nearby elder tree standing on the banks of the river. The second brother, an arrogant man, chose to further humiliate death, and asked for the power to recall the deceased from the grave. Death granted his wish by crafting the Resurrection Stone from a stone picked from the riverbank. The third and youngest brother, who was the most humble and wise, did not trust Death and asked for something to enable him to go forth without Death being able to follow. A reluctant Death, most unwillingly, handed over a part his own Invisibility Cloak.

The three brothers took their prizes and soon went on their separate ways.

The eldest brother travelled to a village where a wizard whom he had quarrelled lived. He sought out a duel and fought the wizard using the wand, instantly killing the latter.

Leaving his enemy dead upon the floor, the eldest brother walked to an inn not far from the duelling site and spent the night there. Taken by his conscience and lust of the Elder Wand's power, the eldest brother boasted of this wand gifted by Death and his own invincibility.

That very night, a murderous wizard killed the eldest brother. The unknown murderous wizard crept to the inn as the eldest brother slept, drunk from wine. The wizard slit the oldest brother’s throat for good measure and stole the wand. That was when Death took the first brother.

The second brother returned to his home where he lived alone. Turning the stone thrice in his hand the figure of the girl he had once hoped to marry, before her untimely death, appeared at once before him, much to his delight. Yet she was sad and cold, separated from him as by a veil. Though she had returned to the mortal world, she did not truly belong there and suffered. Finally, the second brother, driven mad with hopeless longing, committed suicide by hanging from his house' balcony so as truly to join her. That was when Death took the second brother for his own.

Death searched for the youngest brother as years passed but never succeeded. It was only when the third brother reached a great age, he took off the Cloak of Invisibility and gave it to his son. Greeting Death as an old friend, they departed this life as equals.

 So, if you own the three of these things you become the master of death. The three of these combined are called The Deathly Hallows. I owned these three things together: The Invisibility Cloak, The Resurrection Stone and The Elder Wand. You ask how? The Invisibility Cloak is from my father. We are direct descendants of the third brother as the cloak was handed down from father to son, from father to son and so on. The stone is also handed down. The wand was with Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore defeated him and took the wand. Draco Malfoy cornered Dumbledore which is equal to killing him and Severus Snape only finished him once and for all. I defeated Draco and took the wand and now still belongs to me. When I went to surrender myself to Voldemort, I found the stone in the first Snitch I ever caught. I saw my parents, Sirius and Lupin. I lost the stone in the Forbidden Forest. Now, James has the Invisibility Cloak, you have the stone and I buried the wand with Dumbledore

Love,

Dad

It made no sense why Mr. Potter wrote  the letter so calmly! Thank you very much Scorpius for writing that part, but I beg you to not write in my diary. So ,he said it for you. Damn it!!  McGonagall told us all at the New Year’s feast we have to go to bed before 10 and that she’d be checking every day. She says it’s ‘new rule we should follow to get good rest’. Talk about ridiculous. So, okay bye.

Yours truly

Albus Severus Potter
