There's infinite parallel universes, it has been said. Each time a choice is to be made, divergent paths occur. Each universe continues to split, infinite times. It's... a butterfly effect. One thing happened differently here. One thing, and like the beating of a butterfly's wings causing a hurricane halfway around the globe, the effects were huge... but no one knows just how it happened.
Harry Potter was a girl. Harriet Lily Potter. Born August 1st at The Stroke of Midnight. Born as the seventh month died. But Voldemort didn't quite see it this way- and after all, how could a girl be the one to ruin him? (After All, Voldemort was born in a very sexist time) So he chose Neville Longbottom. Harriet, or as she was always called, Harry, was at Neville's house when Voldemort came. Neville's parents were killed, but Harriet Potter and Neville Longbottom survived, somehow. A burst of strong magic came from one of the babes as Voldemort sent the killing curse towards them, the burst charring the walls and throwing Voldemort's soul straight to Albania, his body collapsing. There was a scar on each babe. Neville had a V-shaped scar on his shoulder blade, and Harry had a lightning scar on her forehead. When Dumbledore found them, he assumed the V-shaped scar was for Voldemort- in actuality, it was where a piece of flying debris had hit his shoulder- and that the lightning scar on Harry's head, well he didn't think twice about it. Lily and James had also been killed. When the Death Eaters found out that their lord had disappeared, they went on a rampage. Lily and James were Murdered, along with Peter Pettigrew, Augusta Longbottom, and several others. Sirius Black took Harry, raising her as his own daughter. She grew up mischievous and playful, confident and slightly arrogant. Neville was raised by Dumbledore himself, taught from day one to fight. He was trained heavily towards what Dumbledore thought to be his "destiny".
That's why this is...

A/N: Hey guys, I got this quick IDEA. Yay. It's going to hopefully get done. Oh, and I'm working on a chapter for APANG. :)
