DOUBLE VISION
SUMMARY: Harry finds himself at King's Cross after being hit with Voldemort's Avada Kedavra. Instead of returning to fight though, he makes another choice. He wants to go back in time and relive his life all over again, to right all the wrongs in his past life. He knew that his appearance would have been different but he didn't expect to be a girl. Fortunately he won't be aware of it.
Sage Potter has been haunted all her childhood by visions of a life almost identical to her own, belonging to someone called Harry Potter, her apparently male counterpart. When she receives her Hogwarts Letter, she has a choice to make. Follow Harry's life and choices or change it so that she can have a better life than what Harry had. Do-Over Fic(in a way).

Prologue
"I need a tidal wave
come and wash away
All the mess I made
to make it right.
Can I begin again?"
Begin Again - Rachel Platten
"I've got to go back, haven't I?"
"That is up to you."
"I've got a choice?"
"Oh yes," Dumbledore smiled at him. "We are in King's Cross you say? I think that if you decided not to go back, you would be able to . . . let's say . . . board a train."
"And where would it take me?"
"On," said Dumbledore simply.
Silence again.
"Voldemort's got the Elder Wand."
"True. Voldemort has the Elder Wand."
"But you want me to go back?"
"I think," said Dumbledore, "that if you choose to return, there is a chance that he may be finished for good. I cannot promise it. But I know this, Harry, that you have less to fear from returning here than he does."
Harry glanced again at the raw looking thing that trembled and choked in the shadow beneath the distant chair.
"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and above all, those who live without love. By returning, you may ensure that fewer souls are maimed, fewer families are torn apart. If that seems to you a worthy goal, then we say good-bye for the present."
(Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - 'King's Cross' Ch. 35. J.K Rowling)
As Harry listened to those words, an idea started to take root inside his head.
"And if there was another way?" His voice trembled for a moment in uncertainty.
"What do you mean, my boy?" Dumbledore's gaze was focused on him, his expression showing his confusion.
"I could change things. Save Cedric from dying so young. Prove Sirius' innocence and prevent him from dying at the Ministry. Save Snape from Nagini. Stop Malfoy from becoming a Death Eater. Stop you from dying. And Fred and Remus and Tonks, and Dobby and all the other people that died in this second war".
He didn't know if something like this was possible but if there was a way to save as many people as possible, he would find it.
"Change things?" Dumbledore appeared even more confused. It was strange, seeing that expression on his face. He, who always knew everything with his extraordinary mind.
"Yes. Change past events, fix history so that the horrible things that happened this time around don't happen again. Going back in time. Like Hermione and I did to save Sirius in our third year, only not with a time turner this time. I mean, I'm technically dead, am I? So, it should be possible, going back so many years. My spirit - or soul or whatever - would simply go back to my old body. I could do everything right this time around".
And finally Dumbledore understood and smiled at him. The proud smile of a father towards a son, or of a grandfather towards his grandchild.
"Yes, I believe it is possible. However, I'm afraid that you won't be back in your old body".
"Why?" Asked Harry confused.
"You are going to be reborn as someone new. It is impossible to recreate the same circumstances of birth twice. This means that you won't actually be aware of who you were. For all intents and purposes, the person who will be reborn will be someone different from who you are now, who will make different choices. Of course Fate will find a way for you to know what choices you need to change to create a better version of the life you have already lived, but that person will be someone else, someone that will effectively take your place as James and Lily's child, as the child of the prophecy. You still will be the last Potter but you won't be Harry Potter anymore".
"I understand." Harry replied, both sad and determined.
"Harry, are you really sure you want to do this?" Dumbledore asked him one last time. "If you decide to go through with it you will cease to exist in a way."
Harry thought about Dumbledore's words for a few minutes and couldn't help but ask a question that was eating away at his mind. "Even if I will not remember who I used to be, even if I will not be the person that I am right now, will I still be me?"
"In essence, yes. Everything that makes you you will remain. Your incredible ability to love for example, your compassion, your bravery, your loyalty, your ability to forgive. All these things will still be the same".
Dumbledore replied with a smile.
Harry nodded in turn and said "Yes, I am ready. Just tell me what I need to do!"
