note: i decided to put this fic on hiatus for awhile because i am unhappy with my writing skills. i will come back to it eventually.
A/N: Consider this a rough draft/proof of concept
Forward:
Three months ago I was surprised to find that I was in the will of the late Harry Potter. It had been years since we had last talked, and I had assumed he would leave everything to his children. As it turned out he only left me one thing: a large collection of journals which held his memoirs, along with instructions to “Publish these, so that the world can know my true story instead of the rubbish they think happened.†Looking through the memoirs I found they were incomplete, unedited, and clearly written over a large period of time, not in any sort of chronological order. I had long since decided not to share my particular story and opinion of Harry’s supposed “adventuresâ€, but since he took the time to write them down I decided to honor his wishes. I spent the last few months editing, annotating to clarify certain parts, and doing the best I could to put into chronological order his words so that they could be published, and shared with the Wizarding World. And so, by his dying wish, I present to you the story of Harry James Potter in his own words.
