This is my newest story. It is what I think would happen if Harry had been a girl . Alot of things would change don't you think?
With the downfall of Voldemort came much happiness. But to one little girl, it just brought much sadness. Yet it was this little girl that brought the downfall of Voldemort, but not without a price.
His downfall brought on the deaths of the two people she loved the most, the two people she would not remember for she was just a year old when it happened.
Lily Evans-Potter and James Potter were murdered and the Evil Wizard saw his downfall the only thing that remained after the attack was a huge pile of ashes and a little baby girl with a scar. No the scar was not on her forehead nor was it a lightening shape.
It was the shape of a star with a crescent moon in the middle on her right palm.
At around midnight, one wizard by the name of Albus Dumbledore appeared in Privet Drive. After putting out all the street lights with his Deluminator, he took a seat on a wall next to a cat. The cat transformed into Minerva McGonagall. After some talk, Dumbledore confirmed, "Yes, Lily and James Potter are dead. However, their daughter, Lily Rose managed to survive. Voldemort tried to kill her, but failed. In any case, I'm leaving Lily Rose Potter here, with her aunt and uncle."
"Albus, you can't mean the family who live here!" cried McGonagall, springing to her feet and pointing at Number Four. "They're the worst sort of Muggles! That bratty son of their's kept kicking his mother all the way up the street, screaming for sweets. And Lily once told me that her sister was jealous of the fact that she was a witch and would have little to do with her. Lily Rose Potter, having to live here, with relatives that will hate her!"
But her pleas fell on deaf ears.
"Lily Rose will be safe here," explained Dumbledore gently. "I've activated some blood wards, since Lily died for her daughter and her sister will share the same blood. And Minerva, you know Lily Rose will be famous for what happened the day before. She has no recollection of it, but the wizarding world would treat her differently because of it, and we don't want her to become spoiled."
McGonagall sighed. "I suppose you're right. Fine, Lily Rose can live here. But if she comes to any harm from her relatives, there will be hell to pay. Now, how is she coming here?"
"Hagrid's bringing her," replied Dumbledore. Just as he finished speaking, there was a roar in the sky, and second later, a giant of a man riding on a flying motorbike landed on the street.
"Where did you get that contrapation, Hagrid?" inquired McGonagall, staring at it.
"Young Sirius Black lent it to me," responded Hagrid. A bundle was in his arms and he was most reluctant to leave Lily Rose at the Dursleys. However, Dumbledore insisted, and Lily Rose was left on the Dursley's doorstep, with a letter resting on top. Hagrid kissed her, McGonagall blew her nose loudly and wiped her eyes, and the twinkle had gone out of Dumbledore's eyes. Then the lights were returned to the street lamps, and the three left.
Lily Rose Potter fell asleep on the doorstep of her aunt's apartment oblivious to all the things happening to her.
On contrary, the Dursleys did not treat the girl with abuse like McGonagall had said but instead with much kindness and with much love. Petunia and Vernon took her in and showered her not as much as their own son Dudley but enough to treat her as their own daughter.
Dudley also treated her like a sister making sure no one bullied her or there would be hell to pay and in return Lily Rose helped Dudley keep up his grades.
One of the reasons that Petunia chose to take in the girl was that the girl was an exact copy of her sister and she felt she had a chance to make amends.
In fact all of the Dursleys did not want to let her go into the wizarding world. But they knew no matter what they did they could not stop her from her destiny.
But Petunia was sure that Lily Rose would excel in everything she did. She already did especially in Academics. Petunia always told Lily Rose bed time stories about the wizarding world that she got from Lily Sr's time at Hogwarts before they fell apart.
Petunia and Vernon were truly hoping Lily was not magical but they both knew there was no way Lily would not be magical.
There biggest fears came true on Lily's eleventh birthday when an Owl swooped in from the window and deposited a letter addressed to Lily in her hands.
Miss L. Potter
Second Bedroom from the stairs
4 Privet Drive
Little Whinging
Surrey
Lily eyes widened and she tore the envelope of the letter open and read the contents of the letter.
She danced around the living room with pure happiness bursting out of her.
The Dursleys chuckled and knew it was time for them to let her go. There was a letter that came later that day stating that someone would collect Lily and bring her school shopping. When Aunt Petunia stated it was twenty minutes before the person would be reaching Lily hurried up the stairs to brush her hair and change out of her pyjamas.
After changing into a light green summer dress with light green flip flops that brought out her eyes she sang quietly a song she remembered from her dream the night before.
In her dream her mother had sung the song to her as a baby and she knew it might not be true but she could still live in the moment right?
She picked up her sparkly hairbrush and brushed her hair singing;
Hush little baby, don't say a word
Mommas gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing
Mommas gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring turns brass
Mommas gonna buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass gets broke
Mommas gonna buy you a billygoat
And if that billy goat won't pull
Mommas gonna buy you a cart and bull
And if that cart and bull turn over
Mommas gonna buy you a dog named Rover
And if that dog named Rover won't bark
Mommas gonna buy you a horse and cart
And if that horse and cart fall down
You'll still be the sweetest baby in town ..
"LILY YOUR ESCORT'S HERE" shouted Aunt Petunia from outside of her door.
"COMING" was the response Lily gave and hurriedly put down her brush and trampled down the stairs.
She smoothened down her dress while panting trying to catching her breath before turning to greet the person who came to bring her school shopping.
After the introductions, the man called Severus Snape brought her to a mangy looking bar after promising no harm would come to her.
"EEEW. There's no way I'm going in there its disgusting!" exclaimed Lily with a look of disgust on her face.
Severus chuckled and gave a small smile for the first time infront of Lily. "Its an illusion to stop muggles from coming and finding out about the wizarding world."
When she went inside Lily felt like a zoo animal. Most of the people immediately stopped what they were doing and started shaking her hand and glanced at her trying to get a glimpse of the wizarding world's savior.
After shaking the hand of a man who she was told would be her Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, she followed Severus quietly as the brick wall revealed an archway, the entrance to Diagon Alley.
Lily gasped when she saw what was beyond the archway. "It's beautiful." She murmured softly as she stared at the cobblestone street filled with people and shops with magical items. The view was truly well, magical!
"Where are we going first sir?" asked Lily.
Severus responded by pointing to a large building with the sign Gringotts displayed over the entrance.
While entering the building Lily noticed a large sign which read;
Enter, stranger, but take the heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.
The wordings and phrases on the sign sounded like a poem to Lily. She quickly made her way to were Severus was near the tellers. Severus noted that for never having seen goblins before, Lily was not fazed but acting fairly normal about the whole situation.
While they waited in line Lily took time to look at the different kinds of people present in the bank.
Once they reached the front of the line, things moved much quickly. Lily was introduced to Griphook who proceeded to take her to her vault while Severus had other things to collect in a different vault. The cart drove at an astonishing fast speed to Lily vault.
When Griphook finally opened her vault, Lily gasped at the mountains of gold, silver and bronze coins. She then remembered she didn't have anything to put the money in and asked Griphook where she should keep the money.
Griphook looked oddly amused at the question and proceeded to take out a forest green money pouch that he said was weightless due to a charm put on it.
Lily thanked him gratefully and filled her pouch with three handfuls of Gold and silver coins and one handful of bronze. Once finished she closed the pouch and put it into her small beaded bag which was just the right size to fit the pouch.
She met Severus outside the bank and Severus told her about the values of the coins and what they were called. Apparently the gold ones were Galleons, the silver Sickles and the bronze ones were Knuts. After Lily told Severus she was sure of the values, Severus brought her down to the end of the road.
"This is Ollivander's we shall be getting your wand first." Lily nodded and went into the shop which looked like an abandoned building with nothing but a dusty wand in the store front.
Cautiously, Lily stepped into the threshold and looked around. Everywhere were narrow boxes crowded into any space they could fit.
"Ah.. Ms Potter, I have been waiting for you.." came a voice behind of Lily
