Claryssa Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Summary: Harry's a girl named Claryssa in this story; Aunt Petunia is secretly nice while Uncle Vernon is abusive. Guess which Hogwarts staff member becomes her guardian?
Disclaimer: I own each of the 7 Harry Potter books and the idea for this story but J.K. Rowling owns everything so please don't sue me. I got the idea of a girl Harry from a Serena R. Snape who has written Arielle Potter: Book One and is working on Arielle Potter: Book two, they're good stories you should try reading them.
Prologue:
Petunia Dursley was a normal woman, she had a husband and a son, she had a normal home, a normal life and she also had a normal everyday routine. She would wake up at 5:30 every morning; she would take a shower until 5:45 and then get dressed. She would kiss her husband's cheek before going into her son's room and watch the sleeping toddler for a few minutes and then get the milk from outside at exactly 6:00. After she got the milk she'd put it in the fridge and then begin breakfast. After breakfast she'd kiss her husband's cheek on his way to work and then begin the endless struggle of taking care of her son Dudley. She would give him a bath, put on a clean diaper, put his clothes on, and then play with him and give into his every demand until her husband Vernon got home. They would have dinner and then relax in their living room for a couple of hours before beginning it all again.
She loved staying home with her son, he was her little angel and he looked almost exactly like his dad. Vernon Dursley was a big beefy man with barely any neck, with brown hair and eyes. He had a mustache to match his hair and he always wore business suits even on the weekends. Petunia was the complete opposite she was tall and skinny with too much neck and buckteeth. She had blonde hair and blue eyes and always wore dresses, mostly in pastel colors. Dudley was big and fat with no neck like his father with his mom's blue eyes and blonde hair. The Dursleys were a normal family that hated anything that was abnormal to their standards, you would never think something strange would happen to them, and neither did they for that matter but how wrong they were.
Chapter 1: The Unexpected Arrival
On November 1, 1981 Petunia began her routine, she awoke at 5:30, finished her shower at 5:45, kissed her husband, watched her son for a few minutes, walked slowly down the stairs and watched the clock in the hallway strike 6:00 and opened the front door to get the milk but was shocked when she saw a bundle of blankets with a baby girl inside them on her front porch with the milk next to it. She grabbed the girl in one arm and the milk in the other and silently shut the door with her foot. She put the milk in the on the counter and brought the little girl into her living room and laid her down on the couch and sat next to her. She the opened and read the letter left with the little girl.
It was from a man by the name of Albus Dumbledore and he was from her sister's world. He told her that a couple of months after the baby girl was born Lily and James Potter had to go into hiding. An extremely dangerous wizard named Lord Voldemort was looking for them to kill the baby since some of his followers had heard part of a prophecy pertaining to her. The reason the baby was left with the Dursleys now was because Voldemort had found them and killed James and Lily since she was trying to protect the baby but when the he tried to kill her he disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. Dumbledore also said that she needed to be kept in the Dursley household until she was of age to ensure her protection through a bond.
She was to be given the letter or told of it before she turned 11 and then she would go to Hogwarts like her parents. Dumbledore's last words in the letter were: "Please take care of her for she is very important to our world." which meant the wizarding world of course. Petunia looked at the girl with a sort of sad look on her face, that girl was all that was left of her freakish sister except for memories. Petunia had always wanted a daughter but after complications giving birth to Dudley she was told she wasn't allowed to have any more children. So she agreed to take care of the baby girl, who was only a few months younger than her Duddykins.
They were both a year old and she knew the unexpected arrival wouldn't bode well with Vernon or Dudley. She couldn't help wanting to keep the girl though especially when she opened her eyes to reveal beautiful emerald green eyes like her sister. She had never liked her sister but for some reason wanted to preserve her memory. So Petunia smiled at the now awake baby girl and whispered to her, "Claryssa Lily Potter, welcome to the Dursley family." This earned her an adorable grin from the toddler in her arms, capturing her heart at once.
