Sitting in a vast yet homely garden, the boy with emerald eyes was hidden under a large oak tree. In his lap, laid a notebook, opened on its first page that was blank. Indicating that it was new. The loose white shirt he had been wearing was unbuttoned as the heat of the sun was getting to him. He knew he should've asked his dad to cast a cooling charm before the man left, albeit hesitantly and reluctantly, for yet another meeting. The boy grabbed his quill and began to write.

01/08/95

'Dear Diary…is that how you're supposed to start this kind of thing?

Anyway, so I got you (technically I am writing in a diary, so is addressing the diary as 'you' right?) yesterday as a very late birthday present, it was my birthday around a month and a bit ago -so yay, I'm sixteen and I've finished my OWLs too- and I thought, why not write about the past year and all the chaos that's happened? So…that's what I plan to do…

Although, the last time I wrote in a diary, which was in my second year, the diary ended up being evil and tried to kill me and Ginny…I ended up stabbing it though…Moving on…

Where to start, where to start…'

Damien drifted on several pages, talking about how he was adopted by the Potter's, how his life changed and everything that happened up until the now dubbed 'Battle of Hogwarts'

'Then a few months ago, Albus Dumbledore obliviated me and thus starting what will probably go down in history as the "Battle of Hogwarts". I…well, Dumbledore shot the Killing Curse at my dad and me being the stupid and moronic son I am, dove in front of him.

I can't really remember what happened. I feel as though when I 'died', something happened, like when I try to think about it, I see a white room and a blurry figure. But nothing else…I do have my suspicions, I will admit. I…well I believe that I conversed with the Horcrux from dad that had been in my head since I was a baby -according to dad, the Horcrux saved me from dying somehow, even he's baffled! Although, dad's also told me that if that was the case then that Horcrux should be gone, vanished from the earth. But, he said to me one night, that his soul felt whole. As though that slither of soul, slipped into the last piece of a puzzle, completing it…but Nagini still has a tiny piece of dad's soul in her, so it's a bit confusing.

Anyway, after I came back from the dead, we fought against Dumbledore -restarting the rest of the fighting. A shield appeared around me and dad…apparently it was my pure magic that was causing it… anyway, then I disarmed Dumbledore, he was furious but pulled out another wand. Dad's told me that the wand I caught when I disarmed Dumbledore, now recognises me as its 'master' or whatever that means…it's called the Elder Wand and is linked to the Cloak of Invisibility I have. I read the book they're based on and dad's told me I'm the Master of Death because the two items recognise me as their master and dad's given me the Stone of Resurrection, which is kept inside his Gaunt ring -which is now mine due to my sixteenth birthday. Unlike many, I know not to brag about this power and I've promised myself (and dad) that I would never use the items for evil -although when I said this to dad he just laughed because apparently, I'm "too good for this world" and "would never abuse any power" I have…the arsehole was making fun of me, so I ended up ignoring him for the day…oops?

Back on topic, when Dumbles grabbed his original wand, dad blasted his right arm straight off, the sadistic part of me was rather amused. I mean, come on, Dumbledore just stood there confused, then he looked down at the now bleeding (heavily mind you) stump, then to the ground where his arm lay, his hand weakly clenching the wand. It was amusing…So then everyone surrendered.

Oh and that shield I made, well because it was pure magic, I ended up falling asleep because I was exhausted (this was after the surrendering and victory party and stuff)…I think I was out for like 3-4 days, dad almost had a heart attack…again oops?

Guess I should mention punishments and all that malarky, right?

Hmm, who to start with…

Albus the-Manipulative-Perverted (yeah found out he was rather 'interested' in young boys *insert shivers*) -Old-Goat-Like-Fool Dumbledore, he was sentenced to Azkaban until he died, to be honest he's already what a hundred-something, so he probably won't last much longer especially with those Dementors (slightly peeved that dad is keeping them considering I still react horribly -mention this later…hopefully…if I remember…).

Then there's the Bad Weasley's -well technically they aren't Weasley's anymore. Dad allowed Mr Weasley to decide on Molly's punishment and so he divorced her, leaving her to be Miss Prewitt. During the divorce, Prewitt got Ginny and Ron. They now live in a shack someplace because they don't have much money -practically nothing- and no one really wants to hire them -unless of course the employer's are in need of help. So that was their punishment. But, there's more.

See the three of them were given a warning, a warning that if they ignored and broke, they'd end up in Azkaban. Which is exactly where the three of them are. Although, much to dad's annoyance (The remaining and nice Weasley's did ask because whilst they may not care for Molly, Ginny and Ron, they are still blood and all…) the three of them are in some of the lower levels of Azkaban where no Dementors go, it's where lesser criminals are placed.

Basically, two months after the Battle of Hogwarts, so April time, students were able to go back to Hogwarts -dad's first priority was getting the school up and running with the needed stuff before focusing on other things. In the meantime, he mostly had Lucius fixing the Ministry (under dad's orders of course). Ginny and Ron too returned and well…not only did they ignore dad's "if you do something I don't like, it's Azkaban for you" warning, but they also broke dad's number one rule, which he's put in place as he's now considered the ruler of Wizarding Britain and the Minister of Magic. Mind you I hate the rule because it basically says "Anyone who touches my son in any negative manner, i.e. violently, will be sent to Azkaban from anywhere between 6 months to a lifetime." for obvious reasons, I don't like it. Anyway, carrying on.

Ronald was the first one sentenced to Azkaban, he's in there for a few years I believe. This is because when we got back to school, he straight out attacked me with his wand until I disarmed him, then he leapt at me and physically attacked me. So…day one of being at school again and well…let's just say Madam Pomfrey wasn't impressed with me being in the Hospital Wing so soon -but hey, new record! Then about 3 weeks later, Ginny spiked my pumpkin juice -I have no clue how she managed to do this to be honest, cause she had no opportunity to spike it- and her being a below-average Potions student, managed to poison me instead of the supposed love potion doing its job, she's in Azkaban for more years than Ronnie that's for sure…again Madam Pomfrey was annoyed at my appearance in the Hospital Wing -you know, I may as well just live there, I mean I am in there so much that I actually have my own bed…

And finally, Molly…it was actually after my OWLs when she attacked, so around June. See, students at Hogwarts are allowed to go to Hogsmeade once they finish their OWLs and NEWTs to celebrate with friends and all. So that's exactly what Blaise, Theo, Draco, Neville and I did (Fred and George would've been invited to join us, but they still had their NEWT exams, sucks to be them). We were having a nice round of Butterbeer in The Three Broomsticks when the entire pub shook. Molly had found -what was later identified as a dark spell, long forgotten- a bomb-like spell, which actually inspired the muggle bombs. So she used this on the building and essentially blew it up. Many were harmed, but no one died -thankfully! I was close to losing my consciousness when she started to come closer, but thankfully all she had done was shout and scream at me before Aurors arrived and arrested her. This time, I was admitted to St Mungo's because I had a broken leg and some other stuff -Madam Pomfrey, however, was actually called in to help other victims, it was a good laugh when she took one look at and just sighed. I wonder if she misses the good old days before I was a patient of hers…hmm, probably! Anywho, Molly was sent to Azkaban, she's at the highest level before the Dementor levels and will be in there for a very long time…think it was a decade? Then again…I don't…actually, care.

Oh and let's not forget Hermione Granger. She's still at Hogwarts, she -for once- has shown that she's intelligent enough to follow simple rules. It's much like first year for her, she's isolated and alone. To make matters even more amusing, she's only allowed to take one book out of the library unlike a fifth years usual 5. See at Hogwarts, Madam Pince has a rule (surprise surprise) where if you're a first year, you can take one book out, a second year, two books, a third year three books, etc. Pretty reasonable. But as Granger's only allowed the first years privilege, she's pretty pissed off. You reap what you sow I guess. But again, she's smart and after what's happened with the ex-Weasley's, she's most likely going to be a good little girl and follow the rules.

Well, that's it for punishments that somewhat affected me. But, continuing the points about Azkaban. When the summer holidays started a couple weeks ago, dad and I went to Azkaban. Mind you, I never informed dad of my extreme reaction to the monsters known as Dementors and if I had, well I have a feeling he wouldn't have taken me to that hell. Basically, we went (I was told I had to go and help dad, no clue why…maybe because I'm sympathetic or something) to try and clean the place up and organise stuff. We were trying to make sure everyone in the prison was there for the right reasons and not wrongly placed. Again… I have no clue why I had to go, I mean come on, I was sixteen, I can stay home by myself, Merlin I'm home alone now -which is odd, to be honest, usually someone is home. Anyway, the Dementors were supposed to leave us alone and originally they did…guess they caught sight of me and were interested again. So a group of them came at me when dad was talking to someone and before I knew it, I was having my soul sucked out. Luckily someone cast their Patronus, but I was bedridden for a couple of days. Not fun. Although, before this happened, we saw Dumbledore…he's more insane than normal and so I was kind of lucky to pass out because dad planned to go back to his cell for a chat again and the first time was too uncomfortable for me to handle it again…I don't even know if I should write down what he was saying…let's just say he was telling me the many things he wished to do to me when he was free. Not 'if' he escaped, but 'when'. Honestly, I was surprised dad didn't have him Kissed right then and there…actually, now that I think about it, this was probably why dad wanted to chat with him again before I passed out…'

Damien stopped writing when an owl appeared next to him, reaching out, he patted the brown owls head before taking the letter. Said owl left quickly. Turning the letter over, he opened it and read the contents before a grin covered his face!

'An owl just appeared next to me as I'm writing and the letter given was of my OWL results -haha an owl carrying my OWL results! Okay…I regret writing that, it was a terrible pun…

Anyway, here are my overall results (the theory and physical exams put together)

Defence Against the Dark Arts: O
Potions: O
Transfiguration: O
Charms: E
Herbology: E
History of Magic: E
Astronomy: E
Ancient Runes: O
Care of Magical Creatures: O

I mean that's pretty impressive, right? I bet if Dumbles was still about and I hadn't met dad, I'd probably have failed most of them. Anyway, I hope dad's happy with my results!

What else should I write about? Hmm…

Couples? I mean after the Battle I swear everyone just started snogging even though they weren't together!

Luna grabbed Neville by the shirt and snogged him -fairly certain Nev's still in a trance from that.

George was snogged by Angelina

Fred, feeling left out, grabbed the closest person to him and practically scared Oliver Wood (who'd returned to help and after finding out about dad's agenda, helped fight with us) half to death, although Oliver liked it because last I heard they were spending a lot of time together in a locked room…eww.

Blaise actually kissed Theo, which was cute, I know Blaise has struggled a little, but they're cute together!

Mr and Mrs Malfoy kissed.

Bellatrix practically tackled Rodolphus to the ground with a snog -I was mentally scarred by this

Remus was almost killed by Sirius, who followed Bella's action and tackled Remus to the ground with a snog.

Then there was Draco…you know in Muggle movies when a couple does that cute and slow run to each other? Well, that's what we did, although it wasn't slow. Our eyes met and we took off running and kissed. It was sweet. Some may say I've taken him back and forgiven him too soon and yes, I guess I have. But there was a battle, we could've lost each other. I've forgiven him -plus those cute little whispered words had already made me forgive him. Saying that, I haven't full on forgiven him, but he's making it up to me.'

"Damien!"

'Ha, he's just called for me! Speak of the Devil and he shall come a calling -or whatever the Muggles say!'

"Yes, Draco?"

"There's this Slytherin summer do happening tonight, you wanna come with me?"

"Hmm, who's going?"

"Majority of the Slytherins from fourth years and up -also some ex-Slytherins. It's at Pansy's."

"Alright, I'll be there."

"Good good! I have to nip back out! See you later Dami!"

"You too Dray." Damien smiled softly as he heard Draco close the patio door.

'Anyway, that's it from me.
How do people normally sign out after writing an entry?
Well, here it goes…
Bye?
-Damien Riddle.'

As he signed his name, he noticed something. Something bad. Something very similar to Tom Riddle's diary. A response appeared below his entry -which unlike dad's Horcrux, did actually stay.

'Hello Damien, my name is Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. How did you come about my diary?'

His eyes widened. Closing the book with an audible snap, Damien took off running, hopping through the floo and landing on his hands and knees, he stumbled to his feet and ran through the ministry, avoiding the shouts and grumbles of the people around him. Finally, he reached the Minister's office, where he knew his dad was signing paperwork and all that annoying stuff. Knocking abruptly and impatiently, he waited until the door opened and his dad appeared with a frown which disappeared when he saw his out of breath son.

"Damien?" He said as he ushered his son inside, "What is wrong?" Damien handed the diary to his dad,

"I…I think this is a Horcrux." He pointed out what he hadn't written.

"I see." Came his dad's response, his throat tight, "I believe you know how to destroy this."

"Yes, dad."

"Shall I destroy it or can you?"

"I will. I believe I still have a Basilisk fang in my room."

"Alright. Be careful, I will try to be home soon." Damien nodded at his dad and went to leave but as he reached the door, he turned to his dad once again,

"Do you think this is really Dumbledore created a Horcrux?"

"I would not put it past him," Tom replied thoughtfully,

"Do you think there's more?"

"I am unsure. But whilst he still lives, we will be fine."

—LINE BREAK—

The Slytherin summer party was in full kick on the warm night, music echoed through the sky as everyone totally didn't get drunk. Halfway through the night, Draco grabbed Damien's hand and they walked away to a quieter area.

"What happened?" The question was blunt, but Draco could tell something had happened to his boyfriend earlier that day and he knew Damien would know what he was questioning,

"Dumbledore…he had a Horcrux -I destroyed it. But there could be more." They fell into a peaceful silence as they sat under the stars

"Damien,"

"Yes, Dray?"

"Don't worry about it. Be a kid for once. You deserve it and don't need to be the one to do everything when there are capable adults." Damien responded by snuggling into Draco,

"I love you, Dray."

"I love you too." They shared a soft and gentle kiss, before gradually drifting off underneath the graveyard of stars shimmering above them.

~The End~

Author's Notes: Sequel? I'll admit I have left this is a place where I can start a sequel should I want to and you guys want me to...if so it won't be for a while...

Thank you so much for your reviews on chapter 20:
Gurgaraneth -We'll never know if Tom got that piece of soul back, but between you and me, I'd say it was safe to assume he has! Also Damien is now the Master of Death.
lilly-flower15 -Thank you
kirsty21 -Thank you
BisexualKitsune -Awe and I agree, Tom wouldn't have handled it well at all.
monstermadcat -Haha! Sorry? And thank you so much!
aisa.32 -Mwah haha! I'm evil.
MirrorFlower and DarkWind -I'm so glad you liked that! Thank you. Sadly though this is the end...
Ms Lady Wolf -Awe thank you so so much!
Alec Goodman -Aw thank you!
gginsc -Haha? Ok then...
geekymom -Now you've got the ending, lol!
Jostanos -Haha! I'm assuming Dumbles didn't think Damien would live considering in the movies Tom had to cast the AK for Harry to come back...
and Lizard21 -The wand glowed (which I don't think happens in canon, I just made it up) because it was announcing Damien as its new master. The wand was the Elder Wand and Dumbles had another wand which was his original wand -hope this is explained better in the chapter! Nah Nev's alive! Also oh no sorry about that lol, poor you! Thank you!

Anyway,

Thank you for reading,
Hope you enjoyed,
Please review,
No hate,

Bye~
