My name is Harriet Potter and this is my story of what really happened...
Things changed when I was seven let me give you a recap
I lived with my aunt and uncle since Dumbledore put me there, I was beaten and made a slave, my life was at risk virtually every day but I had a few good points. I had my best friend Draco Malfoy and my Godfather Severus Snape (I know what you've heard about them and it's not true so just listen) Sev used to teach us magic and potions when my relatives were out.
three weeks after my seventh birthday
There was an accident in the village right in front of us and my magic saved the person in the vehicle, it was the first time I'd used my magic in a big way and suddenly the wizarding world knew where I was in celebration of finding me they sent all the young wizards and witches a starter pack (some wizard coins a child's wand a cape and a hat) I didn't know why Sev looked so worried guess now I know...
I was so happy I hid them in my cupboard and played with them every night dreaming about the future but late one night Vernon found me playing with them and he beat me badly. hours later he went to bed leaving me broken and bruised in the kitchen.
Severus came in and took care of me like he does after every beating (I think he put a charm on me to tell him when I'm hurt) but this time he knew it had to stop he took the wizarding things and cast a strong healing spell on my cupboard so any time I was in there I'd get healed. He wiped my memory of all things magic and altered my appearance to a boys as he feared what Vernon might do when I grew a bit older.
He altered my memory so I thought I was a boy and then added a trigger that if he said one word it would all revert back to the way it should be he then went upstairs and altered the family's memory's. he stood in the hall thinking what he could do to make it easier for me for he knew Dumbledore wouldn't let him take me and look after me like we both wanted and like the will stated. Then an idea struck he cast a spell on my cupboard that gave me the warmth of his presence and then took his necklace (I'd made him when I was three) duplicated it and cast the same one on it and made them like two way communication devices so he could help me, he looped it over my neck and made it visible to only magic folk.
He left then feeling his heart break he packed up all his things ready to move and went to visit the Malfoy's. They were distraught at the news wanting to take me that night and fight Dumbledore but Sev knew he had to wait till he told me who I am. They agreed to tell Draco to not play with me unless disguised and to let me make the first move on the train. That night Sev moved back to London and I didn't see him again till today.
