Me: Hello Harry Potter fans (again)…this time is with a FemHarry and she is not the same as the one in the crossover one, they are different but anyway I got this idea when I notice there was not much of good Petunia stories at all so I decided to make one and see how you guys like it
Background: AU Lily made James Potter see his way of how cruel he was to her dear best friend, Severus and they both made the decision of making him godfather to their only daughter, Iris Lillian Potter but they were betrayed by their friend Peter and were killed. Without knowing of his duties from a certain Headmaster, Albus placed little Iris to her muggle relatives where Petunia, Lily's sister lives
Warning: just like I made for the crossover if you don't like it then don't read it
Summary: AU…What if Harry was born as a girl? And how would her aunt treat her, the same or differently? And what was inside the trunk that Lily sent to her sister before she died? Good witch Petunia and wizard Dudley, Godfather Severus, Alive Regulus Black; free Sirius Black, free werewolf Remus Lupin, Good Salazar Slytherin and one Horcuxes in little Iris
Pairings: Iris Potter-Snape (FemHarry) x Draco Malfoy, Hermione Granger x Theodore Nott, Dudley Evans-Black x Susan Bones and Neville Longbottom x Luna Lovegood

Petunia was sitting on her dining table thinking ways to keep her niece safe from her 'normal' husband, Vernon Dursley.
Her niece was found by their footsteps one early morning when Petunia was getting the milk. There in a basket was a baby girl and a letter. The letter explained that James Potter and Lily Potter nee Evans were killed by a mad man wizard and poor Iris Lillian Potter survived.
At first Petunia didn't want her here but after having two miscarriages, she couldn't bear the chances of getting another child. She dreamed to have a little girl to name after a flower like her mother did to her and Lily.
Her dream came true though but from her dead sister that she rarely had communication after she graduated from that school.
Also, she couldn't say no to that little face of her niece when she first saw her. She looked just like Lily did when she was born but the only difference was her hair color, it was black.
At first Vernon ignored her niece but then he started hitting her after a talk with his sister, Marge Dursley.
Petunia gave her niece chores so she can be busy and out of Vernon's sight. They were simple little house work that she and Lily did when they were young but soon her own son started to tease his own cousin. It was simple push and shove for a few months but soon it turns to chasing her down the street then beating her.
Petunia talked to Vernon about this and what could lead to this to his perfect son to jail. Then the neighbors will talk and would go around to his job then future clients will refuse to come over. That made him change…a bit though.
It's been eight years and so far nothing severely has happen. Petunia knows it was a wrong thing to do but it was the only safe place for her niece to be at night, at the cupboard under the stairs.
But she couldn't hold it much longer, there has to be a better way to…wait didn't Lily sent her a trunk for some kind of emergency before she went into hiding.
Petunia ran up to the attic and looked everywhere for that old trunk. After a few minutes later, she found the trunk on the far left corner. She opened it and looked everywhere that could look useful and after what it felt like forever, she found something that looked official and has a seal on it.
She broke the seal and after she read it, she was shocked. She went back to the trunk to find the book that would help her communicate the only one person that could save her niece.
'Please…please let him answer' thought Petunia when she finished writing her message. She was putting everything back inside the trunk when she heard him.
"GIRL GET OUT HERE"
-Break Line-
Meanwhile at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Severus Snape was relaxing after his classes when suddenly he heard a too familiar sound.
'What the bloody…it can't be' thought Severus as he ran towards the only location to where the sound was coming from.
Opening his room, he went straight to the closet to find his old school trunk and deep down was a black journal with his initials on the front but this old journal was no ordinary one. During in their fake stunt of fall out friendship in their 5th year, Lily made these journals to work like a phone. She got the idea when she overheard Potter and Black having a two way mirror.
Before hiding, Lily told him whenever the journal now makes sound is when her sister Petunia was either in stress or in trouble with her abusive husband. He quickly opens it and looked for the entry Petunia wrote:
Sev, if you are still there please help me…I thought I could protect her from my husband but after 8 years I don't think I can take it anymore…I had to resort to putting her in the cupboard to keep her safe from him and have her 24 hours with me as best as I can but even that could not stop my own son from hurting her…please Sev please come and get her before he thinks on something else to hurt her
Petunia
P.S. - there was something in Lily's trunk that you might want to see for yourself
Severus didn't need to be told twice what she have meant in the end but he was more curious of what Petunia was talking about.
-Break Line-
Vernon just returns home when he notice the house was quiet…too quiet to his liking.
"GIRL, GET OUT HERE!"
A young 8 year old girl with wavy black hair and green emerald eyes with one of hers aunt's old clothes came out nervously from the cupboard. This small child was no other than Iris Lillian Potter.
"Y-Yes Uncle Vernon…"
"Where is my wife freak and why have you not started your chores yet!" shouted Vernon.
"I-I have no idea w-where Auntie Petunia is at Uncle but I-I had a bit of a f-fever this morning so she told m-me to rest and would see if I-I could do the chores later w-when I-I am a b-bit better" explain Iris softly and quietly.
Before Vernon could say anything else, Petunia was coming downstairs. "Vernon, how dare you wake her up when she is unwell?!"
"Pet, forgive me I didn't know…fine get back to your cupboard, you freak!" snapped Vernon. Iris didn't have to be told twice and bolted to her little safe cupboard.
-Break Line-
Severus cursed himself for being 2 hours late when he got the message from Lily's sister and quickly apparated to Privet Drive where she and her niece were living at. Severus blames Albus for his tardiness as he hold a staff meeting after dinner.
It didn't take long to find the house but as he approached the door, he heard something that made his blood boil.
"GIRL, LOOK WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, YOU ARE GOING TO REGERT FOR SPILLING GOOD FOOD…AND I KNOW JUST KNOW HOW!"
Severus didn't waste time to break the blasted door and stupefy the fat whale of a husband. He turned to see a faint white barrier surrounding Petunia and a scared small child.
"Petunia I am terribly sorry that I came late, are you alright though?"
"I-Its fine Sev, Iris made a barrier as soon has Vernon was about to attack us" replied Petunia while trying to calm down the small child.
This was the first time Severus saw Iris Potter and was relief that she only inherited Potter's hair color but the rest was all Lily. "Come let's see if I can-"
"NO" shouted Petunia "I-I can't take it anymore Sev…please you have to help me…I-I worry for little Iris when she is by herself with my ungrateful husband a-and my son is starting to follow his footsteps…please there has to be another way to protect my family Sev."
Severus sighed "Very well…Prince Manor have strong wards just enough protection for your family Petunia, are you going to need help to get custody of your son?"
"…Yes, do not worry though, Vernon may have taught him the wrong ideas but he is still young so I can redeem that over time."
"Very well, go pack your and your sons' belongings then…I will help with Miss Potter with hers." Petunia nodded "Alright then…oh…"
She took out a rolled up parchment paper to Severus "It was the thing I told you about, I-I think it might help us…Iris sweetie listen go pack your things while I go pack mine's and your cousin's."
Iris nodded "Yes Auntie Petunia."
Petunia went upstairs to get some of her clothes and son's while young Iris was gathering her belongings. Severus took the time to read what was inside of the rolled parchment that Petunia gave him:
The last Statement and Will of one Lily Rose Potter nee Evans
If you are reading this then that means James and I are dead and that traitor Rat, Peter betrayed us to Lord Voldemort. I warn James not to switch secret keepers but he said that Peter will never hurt us and would keep us save from harm while everyone in the Order will believe that Sirius is the secret keeper…
Please whoever is reading this, you must know that Peter Pettigrew was the secret keeper not Sirius Black…if Sirius is locked up than release him as he never betrayed us!
To Remus Lupin my collection of books from my vault and 100,000 gallons for you to pay something nice and make sure Black is careful with my little Iris.
To Sirius Black – you better have matured if not I will haunt you for the rest of your life if you dare to only teach my daughter just pranks and being anti-Slytherin!
To Petunia Dursley nee Evans I sent you a trunk with my things, treasures we cherished when we were younger and potions for you if you need it and in case your son gets ill. I hope you in time you dump that whale of a husband of yours when our parents die and find someone else that will love you no matter what.
Lastly Severus Snape…I want you to be there in my daughter's life my dear friend and help her to be the best no like how Black will guide her properly – sorry Sirius but you are more of a fun Uncle rather than a Father figure so…
We, Lily Rose Potter nee Evans and James Charles Potter give the name of Godfather to Severus Tobias Snape to your daughter Iris Lillian Potter. If for some reason he can't than please place Iris to Narcissa Malfoy nee Black, her Godmother who is cousin to my husband side of the family.
Do not place my daughter with my sister if she is still married to Vernon Jonathan Dursley who is the most uncaring person I have every meet in my life and sadden that my sister was forced to marry him from your parents.
My final request, please do a Heritance Test Potion to my daughter, Iris as I have a feeling that my family was never a muggle to begin with.
Severus stood there in shock…him…the Godfather to the Girl-Who-Lived, Iris Potter not Black and speaking about the mutt, he was never the secret keeper to begin with but that cowardly Peter Pettigrew. Suddenly he felt a little tug from his robes. Severus looked down and meet the emerald eyes of little Iris. "I-I'm done sir…"
Severus didn't know what to do but there is a start for everything "Positive child…we are not coming back to this place ever again."
Iris nodded softly "Yes…I don't have that much anyway, Auntie Petunia had to make clothes for me from hers or from my Mommy's old clothes that she had."
Severus nodded "Very well child…while we wait for your aunt to finish I must tell you something important." Iris tilted her head "Is it from that weird paper that Auntie Petunia gave you sir?"
Severus smiled a bit when Iris did the same thing that Lily would do when she stated an answer in a question form. "Yes…it would seem that your Mother, Lily named me your Godfather if anything happens to her and your Father" answered Severus softly.
Iris widens her eyes "R-Really?"
Severus nodded "Yes though for some odd reason I never got the message child but I would have taken care of you if I would have known about it."
Iris sniffed a bit to finally have someone else to care for her then her Auntie Petunia and hugged Severus' legs which almost knock him to the ground if he had not grabbed on to the wall. Severus carefully lifts up Iris off the ground and settles her to his hip "Better now little one."
Iris nodded "Yes Papa." Severus blinked his eyes in surprise "Papa? Don't get me wrong child, I do like being called something like that but why Papa?"
"Because my Daddy was Daddy and Uncle will remind me of Uncle Vernon so I thought that maybe Papa will be ok because you are my Godfather" explain Iris softly. Severus laughed "For an 8 year old, you sure have some mind there child."
Iris smiled from the praise then turn to see her aunt coming down with two trunks that was her aunt's and her cousin's along an old trunk with her. "We need to pick up Dudley from his friend's house, they should have finished dinner about now" stated Petunia.
Severus nodded then pointed his wand to shrink the trunk into his robes which made Iris' eyes widen. "H-How did you do that Papa?"
Severus turned to Petunia "She doesn't know?" Petunia shook her head "I never had the chance to tell her…Vernon would have gotten angry if I had mention about the word magic in front of him"
Severus sighed heavily "We'll discuss this later for now let's pick up your son so we can head to the wizard bank." Iris gave them a confuse look "Tell me what?"
Petunia giggled "We'll explain it to you dear but right now we must pick up your cousin."
"Kay" said Iris as she settled her head to Severus' shoulder.
-Diagon Alley, Gringotts Wizarding Bank-
"Welcome to Diagon Alley" said Severus as he opened the entrance. "W-Wicked" said Dudley while Iris nodded as entered the wizarding world for the first time.
"Now I see why Lily was so happy to come back to this place, she would always tell me to come over and shop but I felt…out of place if I came here" stated Petunia as she followed Severus to a while building.
Severus nodded "I can see why…now children when we go inside to the white building, you have to be silent unless you are spoken to and stay close to us, don't wander off understood?"
Iris nodded not wanting to disappoint her Godfather but Dudley as first didn't want to agree until he saw his mother give him one of her rare looks.
"Good let's go."
Once inside, Dudley and Iris were dumbfounded of what they saw. Dudley pointed to the weird creature "Mum what are those things?"
"That is a goblin sweetie now please it's rude to point…remember what Uncle Sev said" stated Petunia. Dudley nodded "Yes Mum."
Severus was holding Iris while Petunia was holding Dudley as they walked to the front. The goblin looked up with a sneer "May I help you?"
"Yes we came to resolve this missing Will and request from the late Lady Lily Rose Potter nee Evans" explain Severus with his own sneer. The goblin took the Will with widen eyes "But of course…GRIPHOOK!"
"Yes?"
"Take them to room 5 and informed Nagnok!"
"Of course, follow me please."
Severus and Petunia followed the small goblin to the room and waited until another came inside.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Professor Snape and Mrs. Dursley nee Evans, I am Nagnok I take care of the Potter Vaults for more than a few centuries. I have looked at the Will and was surprised to find it that was not sorted out years ago."
Severus shook his head "You didn't know as was I or Petunia."
Nagnok nodded his head "Very well, we will sent the request to Remus Lupin in at another time but for now least carry out what we can do for now."
"Yes my sister wants Iris to take this Heritance Test Potion" stated Petunia. Nagnok nodded his head "It shall be done…Miss Potter if you would mind letting us pick your finger for a little blood so we can activate the potion?"
Iris nervously looked at Severus than to her Aunt who both gave her a nod. "O-Oh ok" replied Iris softly.
Nagnok told Griphook to fetch the necessary potion and supplies then turned to Severus with a serious look "And what of Sirius Black? He was accused of a crime he didn't commit."
Severus sighs "I will deal with it personally but please do notify Madam Bones of this matter so we can meet her afterwards."
"Very well…Miss Potter if you please" said Nagnok as Griphook returned. After a few minutes of waiting, the parchment was filled up with the family tree to one Iris Potter.

Everyone in the room was speechless. "H-How can this be…Sev, what does this mean?" asked Petunia.
"It means that you can kick Dumbledore out from Hogwarts…it's too bad that you were born as a squib Petunia" stated Severus. Petunia was about to ask something when Nagnok interrupted.
"What do you mean Professor? Mrs. Dursley does have her magic…well sealed but she has it in her as well for her son" said Nagnok with no sneer. Petunia widens her eyes "I-I have m-magic?"
"You didn't know?" asked the goblin in shock. Petunia shook her head.
"Well it looks like we must remove the seal and see who blocked your magic and your son's…also I see that no one has healed that curse scar on poor Miss Potter properly" stated Nagnok.
"No we have not yet, I was going to look some information to remove it but it seems as though you have a better way" said Severus.
Nagnok chuckled "Most wizards seemed to have forgotten that we goblins have magic far beyond then theirs, which is why the founders gave us the respect we deserve. They saw what we can do in a blink of an eye."
Severus nodded his head "Very well, when you will be able to do so?" Nagnok thought for a moment then smiled at them "If you like…we can do it now."
-Prince Manor, 11:00 pm-
Severus collapse to his favorite armchair at his study room as he just put Iris to bed and asked his house elf Lippy, to show Petunia where she and her son was going to sleep for the time being.
He just found out that his dear beloved Lily, her sister and along with their children were descendants to Salazar Slytherin, Helga Hufflepuff, Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Merlin.
After the ritual, Petunia and Dudley released powerful accidentally magic to the walls of the room. Dudley wasn't that powerful because it was not blocked for so long not like Petunia's.
She had to be given a few calming draughts and a small block to her magic so it can slowly be release like an eleven year old child would.
Afterwards it was Iris' turn to see if the curse scar could be healed. It was a small ritual where Iris had to stand in the middle of some ancient goblin runes while Nagnok and another goblin chanted the spell in their language.
The spell was a simple but yet powerful cleansing magic to remove unwanted light magic or dark. The runes would help the person in the circle by giving them strengthening magic if the curse or any unwanted magic in the person causes them pain.
When it was finished, a black mist came out of Iris' scar and gave a nasty screech but soon fades away. Whatever it was, the scar slowly disappeared until it faded away.
Severus and Petunia thank the goblins for their services but when they were about to leave little Iris wanted to ask the funny looking man something. "…C-Can you make my last name like my Papa?"
After a few minutes later, Severus was holding his adoptive daughter, Iris Lillian Potter-Snape while Petunia went back to her maiden name Evans as to Dudley after learning she could immediately divorce her no good husband if he was he was not suited to be a parent or guardian.
Though Petunia worries if Dumbledore finds out but Nagnok just smirked and told her not to worry about it.
As promised Nagnok sent a letter with a copy of the Will of Lily Potter nee Evans to Madam Bones and in the morning Severus will be notified to meet her later in evening the next day to save an innocent man from prison.
Severus looked out of the window and smiled "You give great surprise Lily even after death…just hope little Iris does not do the same to me beyond who she is related to already."
