She is the same age as them but one day during her 7th year she was helping James and Sirius with a prank that involved polyjuice potion, and of course with Sirius and James the potion and she ended up stuck looking 17 years old and a fairly high pitched voice for the rest of her life!

Anyways please enjoy the prologue for The Unknown Godmother of Harry James Potter.
Georgiana Grimes ran towards the home of her best friends Lily and James Potter. She couldn't believe it. No she refused to believe it. It was a lie! They couldn't be gone! They were supposed to be safe, Dumbledore promised they would be!
Once she got to the front door she saw that it was already opened, she pulled her wand out of her leather messenger bag and slowly walked into the house. She made her way down the hall and into the living room, and the first thing she saw almost made her legs give out, so she immediately leaned up against the nearest wall. She held back a sob as she looked upon one of the few people she considered family, James Potter, lying motionless on the ground, eyes opened and wand in hand.
"Oh James…" She choked out and she let herself fall to her knees beside her friend, she then aloud a few tears fall down her face but she did not allow herself to lose it, she couldn't afford to let herself, the enemy could still be near.
After a few more moments of mourning for her lost friend she reluctantly got up and made her way towards the staircase. She was about to make her way up but she froze when she heard a voice coming from upstairs. Georgiana didn't stay frozen for long, and quickly jumped into action and sprinted upstairs and towards the room the voice was coming from. Her godson's room.
She reached the door and threw it open, and what she saw made her eyes go wide. It was none other than Severus Snape on his knees sobbing and clutching the limp lifeless body of her best friend Lily Potter.
"NO!" She screamed when she saw her best friend, "Lily! You get your bloody arse up this moment!" Georgiana couldn't hold it in any longer and she quickly rushed over to where Snape was, not even paying attention to him, and held her best friend's face in her hands, "Come on Lily! You have to open your eyes for me… Come on your brain still works! I know it does, you just have to use it!" She said desperately, "Please Lily Pad. I can't lose you too…" She stared at the woman she considered her sister and waited for some sort of sign that she was alive. But nothing happened and the small blonde broke down into sobs.
She continued to cry for what seemed like hours until another small cry brought her back to reality. Georgiana looked up and saw her godson, sitting in his crib watching both her and Severus crying over his mother, but not having a clue about what was going on.
Georgiana jumped up, rushed over to the one year old and picked him up, clutching him close to her chest. "Shhhh." The young woman said quietly to her godson, "Come now Harry, we cannot both cry. So you leave the crying to me okay." She said with a sad smile as she pressed her forehead softly against the little child's forehead. She continued to rock the baby boy back and forth until finally the boy's crying stopped.
"Is everything true Severus?" She asked the name that was still knelt on the floor, holding onto Lily for dear life. She waited a couple a moments but the black haired man stayed silent. "Severus please. Please answer me." She then begged the man has she felt the tears start to form in her eyes again.
At that moment Severus Snape gently placed his one true love back on the ground where she had been, then stood up and turned to the small blonde woman holding the baby boy and glared, "What do you think, you stupid woman." And without another word the man apparated out of the room, leaving her alone with her sleeping godson in her arms, and her best friend lying dead on the floor.
Georgiana felt her world start to spin and she quickly moved over to the rocking chair, she held the sleeping baby closer to her chest as she started to rock back and forth in the chair. She then closed her eyes and let her mind try to process everything that had happened, but it was all too much and once again she started to break down into sobs.
She wasn't alone for long though because not even 20 minutes later, she heard a pop downstairs, she waited a few moments and then heard a man sob. She wanted to go see who it was, but she just didn't have the strength or will power in her to move from her spot. She just tighten her already strong hold on Harry and continued to rock in the chair.
A couple minutes later she heard footsteps coming up the stairs, and then she saw none other than Sirius Black standing in the doorway, he looked horrible. His hair was a mess, his eyes were red and puffy from what she knew was crying, and his body looked like it was about to collapse.
"You look bloody awful Padfoot." She said quietly, tears rolling down her red cheeks. Sirius look traveled between the red headed woman on the floor and the blonde headed one rocking his godson in the rocking chair before saying, "Have you looked in a mirror?" He said with a sad chuckle.
Silence came over the room and the two stayed where they were for what seemed like hours until finally Sirius rushed over to Georgiana, collapsed in front of her and buried his face into her lap, his body broke out into sobs, as Georgiana ran her hand that wasn't holding Harry through his messy black hair while she cried to.
They cried for a couple of minutes until Georgiana spoke up through the sobs, "What do we do now Sirius?" She asked desperate for an answer, but all her friend did was shake his head and stand up. She quickly stood up with him and reached out and grabbed his wrist, "Sirius I asked you a bloody question!" She exclaimed at him, "We just lost our best friends! Please don't just blow my question off!" She said pleading for her friend to give her the answers she desperately wanted.
But all Sirius Black did was turn to her and gave her a small sad smile before pulling her to him, kissing the top of her head, "You take care of our godson. That's what you do Gigi." He then pulled away from the girl he saw as a baby sister and looked down at his godson that was now awake in her arms. He gave Harry a small smile as well and knelt down and also gave Harry a kiss on the forehead, "And you Harry James Potter, you take care of little Gigi. I'm not going to be around so the job is up to you, and I'm going to warn you now it's not an easy job. But you are the son of the great Lily and James Potter so I know you can do it." He said to the small child and then apparated out of the room before another word could be said.
Georgiana looked down at the baby and started to cry once again, "Don't worry Harry, it will be okay. I promise I'm not going anywhere." She said through her tears as she went back to the rocking chair. She smiled down at him and ran a hand gently over his head, "I'll love you forever. I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living my baby you'll be." She said softly to the baby and started to rock him back to sleep.
It was about an hour later until she heard multiple pops come from downstairs and she automatically knew that it was the Ministry arriving. She then heard people walking around downstairs and also some coming up the stairs. But she didn't move she stayed exactly where she was, not making a sound and waiting for someone to walk through the door.
Not even a moment later Remus Lupin walked into the room, saw Lily Potter lying on the ground and saw Georgiana Grimes in the rocking chair with Harry Potter. He took a deep breath and quickly rushed over to his friend, pulled her out of the chair and pulled her into his arms, which made her start to cry once again. "It'll be okay Georgie…" He whispered to his crying friend, fighting back his own tears that were also threating to fall.
Georgiana pulled away from her friend, "Oh Remus! How is any of this going to end up okay!?" She asked hysterically. "Two of our best friends our dead… How are we…" The small woman started to break into tears once again. And Remus felt guilt start to bubble inside him, knowing what he had to tell the already broken woman.
"Georgiana… Peter… Peter he's dead as well." Remus said as he finally let the tears fall down his face. He watched as Georgiana covered her mouth with her hand and start to shake her head, refusing to believe a word he was saying. Remus took another deep breath and continued, "Sirius betrayed Lily and James… He told Voldemort where they were hiding. Peter he tried to stop him, but Sirius killed him."
Georgiana stood there staring that Remus like he had grown a third head. "Remus! How could you say that!? Haven't we been through enough?" She finally exclaimed angrily at her friend. Remus sighed and ran his fingers through his hair and paced back and forth trying to figure out a way to get his friend to understand what was happening, while listening to Georgiana continue to yell at him for telling her such horrible lies about their friends.
Remus finally had enough and stormed over to Georgiana, put both of his hands on both of her stories, making her look directly at him, "Georgiana. I wish that this was all just a big lie! At this very moment I'm praying that this is just a horrible nightmare. BUT IT ISN'T! I'm sorry Gigi... But what I told you is true. Sirius betrayed all of us, sold Lily and James to the Dark Lord, and then killed Peter when he tried to warn them... He's on his way to Azkaban as we speak..."
She couldn't move. She could't breath. All she could do was stand there clutching her godson close to her and praying that she would wake up soon. But it never happened, she was awake, and her world had just turned upside down. "Remus. What do we do?" She finally said after serval minutes. "Harry... Harry. He doesn't..."
Remus cut her off quickly knowing where she was going, "Harry is going to be fine. We will raise him together, and when the time comes... We will tell him the story of Lily and James Potter." He said with a sad smile as he pulled her into a hug and running his hand through the baby boy's dark thin hair.
Georgiana nodded, tears still rolling down her face, "What about Sirius Remus? Do you really believe that he would do this? Betray his best friend?!" She asked her last remaining school friend. Remus sighed and nodded stating that all the evidence pointed to him and that he was the only one that knew where Lily and James were hiding. But Gigi just shook her head and began to tell him what happened before he came, and how heartbroken Sirius was, "He didn't act like a man that just betrayed and killed his best friend. He acted like a man who just lost his best friend..."
"Georgiana, it was Sirius. He even admitted it!" Remus argued cutting her off. He then began to pace again but this time in frustration, "Please Gigi, we've already lost four people, I don't want to lose you as well. We have more important things to worry about, we don't have time to argue over a traitor!"
Georgiana sighed nodding and looked down once again at the baby in her arms, "I'm going to take him to my flat, I have a crib already there for when I would babysit. Will you take care of everything here?" Georgiana asked quietly. Remus nodded and gave her one last hug saying that he would come to her flat after everything was done. Georgiana then appeated to her flat.
Once she was in her flat she walked to her guest room with Harry and placed him in the small crib, she ran her fingers gently through his hair and then stepped back and walked out of the room. She made her way into her living room and collapsed on the couch, closing her eyes and once again tried to take a moment to process everything that had happened that night. But before she even had a chance to start thinking there was a knock at the door.
She almost didn't answer it, all she wanted to do was lie there and let herself cry once again, but that was when there was a second knock and this one was louder than the first so she sighed and forced herself to get up and answer the door. To her surprise on the other side of the door stood Professor Dumbledore and Rubius Hagrid. Her eyes went wide and she shook her head slightly, thinking that she might have fallen asleep on her couch, but they were still standing there. "Professor Dumbledore. Hagrid. What a surprise, please come in." She said plainly and with out emotion because she was too emotionally drained to talk any other way.
The two wizards walked into her small flat and into the living room, and the stood there in silence for what felt like years until the old headmaster spoke up, "We are sorry for you're loss Ms. Grimes." Gigi nodded and thanked him quietly, and instantly Hagrid moved over to her and pulled her into a giant hug, telling her how sorry he was and that if she needed anything to let him know immediately. She nodded once again and pulled away from the gentle half giant.
"As much as I appreciate your visit Professor, Hagrid. I can't help but feel like you are here for something completely different." She stated bluntly, wanting to get to the reason for their visit. The two guests looked at each other and then back at the grieving girl.
Dumbledore then stepped forward and spoke up, "The Order and I have decided that it would be best for Harry if he didn't grow up in the magical world. So we are here to take him to his Aunt and Uncle." Georgiana looked at the old headmaster as though he were insane (which the jury was still out about), and then she quickly ran over to the door of the guest room standing in front of it protectively.
"ARE YOU MAD!" She exclaimed angrily, "THEY WON'T CARE FOR HIM! THEY WILL TREAT HIM LIKE DIRT! THE SAME WAY THEY TREATED LILY!" She then looked between the two men standing in front of her, "Please... Don't take him away. He is all I have now. He's my godson! I have a right! He is supposed to go to me if anything happened to his parents! So now I'm in charge of him!" She stated trying to sound firm and unmoving but knew she just sounded tried and emotionally drained.
Dumbledore sighed and moved over to the blonde girl, "I am truly sorry Ms. Grimes, but this is for the best." And then there was a loud pop and then a second pop coming from inside the guest room, she quickly turned and threw the door open but before she could grab Harry Dumbledore already apparated back over beside Hagrid. "Please try to understand, he will be followed all of his life, and if he stays in the magical world he will be hunted by Deatheaters, wanting revenge for their master." He said slowly to Georgiana trying to get her to understand, "This is what has to be done. It has to be done so he can have his best chance."
At his words Georgiana started to break down into tears once more, he was right. She had to give him his best chance. After a couple of moments Gigi nodded reluctantly, walking over to Harry, kissing his forehead, "I'll love you forever. I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living my baby you'll be." She said quietly to the small baby and then backed away. "Leave." She stated firmly. "Leave before I change my mind." After she said those words she heard a loud pop and she was once again alone.
She couldn't stay here. She knew that. If she stayed she would go after Harry at one point or another. She had to leave, not just leave town, but leave the country! At that Georgiana moved quickly and with a wave of her wand she packed all of her belongings. She then wrote a note for Remus, telling him what happened and said that she would contact him when she got settled in her new home. And with that she left her old life behind.
~~ 12 Years Later ~~
It had been twelve years since that day, after that Georgiana moved to the small quiet town of Midland, Texas. It was a quiet town, and that was what she needed. So it was here she began her new life. And for her that was a life without magic, or any connection to the magic world. She of course written Remus, telling him that she was okay and safe but that she needed time and space. Remus of course tried several times to contact her, to find out where she was but she refused to let him or anyone else knew where she was.
She went to a muggle college, and got her degree in education and became a high school English teacher for students in their senior year. She enjoyed it, but of course do to her size and sound of her voice (Which is a whole different story for a different time) she had a difficult time getting student to take her seriously at the beginning of the year, but after the first few weeks the students knew that she meant business.
It was the last day of school and all the students in her last class had finished their exams so now they were all just sitting around talking about what they were doing during the summer the usual end of the year stuff, and she had the stereotypical group of popular students standing around her desk trying to get her to add them on some kind of social media or to get her phone number (A.N. You all know that kind of people I am talking about and if you say you don't you are dirty liars!).
"Hey Ms. G, I want all of us to go to lunch sometime this summer!" Her student Peter said to her with a smirk.
Georgiana rolled her eyes, "Yeah Peter, and people in hell want slurppies." She answered with a laugh.
Before Peter could reply the bell rung and they all said their good byes to their English teacher and walked out of the classroom. Once they were all gone Gigi leaned back in her desk and sighed. She then started to pick the papers off her desk when all the sudden all the papers flew off her desk, into the air and then landed back on her desk in a nice neat pile. Her eyes went wide and she quickly looked up and saw Professor Dumbledore standing in her classroom with a smile on his face, "Well if has truly been a long time Ms. Grimes." He said.
Gigi gave him a small smile and nodded, "Indeed it has Professor. So what can I do for you?" He was up to something and she knew it, she saw that twinkle in his eye, the twinkle he only got when he was up to something.
Dumbledore chuckled and with a wave of his wand made a chair magically appear. He sat down and motioned for me to do the same. "I shall get right to it then. It's time you came back to Hogwarts Georgiana."
