The Difference in Me
Summary: Kacy Potter, an average girl of eleven is not as average as she thinks she is. First of all, she is the only child of Harry Potter; the only wizard who managed to defeat the Dark Lord himself, she grew up without a mother or anyone taking the place of her mother. And lastly, she has magical powers beyond anyone's wildest imaginations that grows stronger every second that passes, threatening the existence of mankind...without a single soul knowing about it.
A/N: For all those who think that this is another one of those 'Harry Potter repetitions with darn crap about Harry and Hermione marrying each other and having a weird daughter who has Draco Malfoy's child as her mortal enemy and Voldemort, who managed to find out how to live w/out Horcruxes after Harry finished his sorry ass, rising from the dead and once again ruining everybody's peaceful lives' fics, then you're darn right it is. And if ever this fic gets validated; I promise to make constructive effort to finish this fic after I jump around like a monkey and scream around the house 'my fic got validated' while doing a war dance.
Chapter one
Harry Potter lay on the bed watching his beautiful and most beloved daughter while she was sleeping. He cannot help but feel sad and lonely because she was going to go in Hogwarts in a few days time. She just received the letter informing her that she was accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After raising her for nine happy years and forgetting about his loss of Hermione (his wife) once again, he feels very alone.
"Kacy!" came Harry's voice from downstairs. "Come on! We need to buy your school stuff!" Kacy a regular girl, with dark, brown and curly hair and astonishingly green eyes appeared at the bottom of the stairs gracefully.
"Are we going to Diagon Alley, father?" asked Kacy.
"Yes, we are dear, so hurry up." said Harry serenely.
"Is Uncle Ronald going to be there?" Kacy asked yet again.
"Oh, yes I think he will." Harry assumed.
Some would think that calling your father's best friend "uncle" is a very peculiar thing to do, but for Harry and Kacy, it's just the right thing to do seeing as Ron is almost like Harry's brother. They traveled by Floo powder to the Leaky Cauldron and met up with none other than Harry's best friend; Ron Weasley.
"Hi Kay!" mocked Ron cheerfully. "How's my princess today?"
"Oh come off it, Ron! This little lady is all grown up!" Harry said with a sneer plastered on his face. Kacy forged a giggle that said an 'it's-not-funny-so-let's-not-push-it' gesture.
They bought Kacy's spellbooks, potion ingredients, cauldrons and robes, Ron parted with them on the way to Ollivander's wand shop saying he was going to buy some icecream.
"Good morning, Mr. Potter." came the creepy voice of the shop owner.
"My daughter, Kacy needs…" said Harry.
"Oh, so this is the new young Miss Potter. Ah yes, you look so much like your mother."
"Yes, Mr. Ollivander, this is Kacy."
"Hmmm, I do hope I can find you the most suitable wand." He said with an eerie glint in his eyes.
"Try this; Rosewood and unicorn hair, eleven inches, good for Transfiguration, just give it a wave..."
Kacy swished the wand and the window panes lifted itself from the wall.
"Oh no, that couldn't be right, here; Holly and Dragon heartstring, twelve and a half inches, good for Charms."
Kacy waved the wand and the glass on the picture frame ten feet away from them shattered to pieces.
"Very tricky, just like her father" Mr. Ollivander gave Harry an encouraging look and continued fumbling through the boxes of wands. "Not to worry, here we are! Yew and orchid vine, fourteen inches, nice for conjuring a patronus. The pile of wands on the shelves burst into flames, Harry quickly put it out.
"Sorry, Mr.Ollivander." said Harry apologetically.
"That's quite all right Mr. Potter." Mr. Ollivander replied with a smile on his face. "Happens all the time, you know."
Kacy tried seven more times until she finally met her match.
"Bloodwood, purpleheart and magical rose petals, thirteen and 1/4 inches, it's one of my oldest, been here sixty years or so, anyway, it's one of a kind, excellent wand, that one is, very versatile."
Kacy swished it for the tenth time and it ignited a thousand red sparks.
"Marvelous! Absolutely outstanding! I hope you and your wand will seek adventures Miss Potter. After all, Hogwarts is a place of adventures. Right Mr. Potter?"
"Ahh, Yes of course." Harry grinned bashfully knowing full well that he had made a lot of adventures in his time at Hogwarts.
They paid twenty galleons for the wand and they came across the most unlikely pair.
"Potter" came the drawling voice of Draco Malfoy. "Buying a wand I presume?"
"Malfoy" acknowledged Harry. "Actually, we just have. Your son?"
"Yes, this is Dominic" said Malfoy pointing towards a tall boy with white blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. "And this lovely young lady would be?"
"This is my daughter; Kacy. Kacy this is Mr. Malfoy, an old …um…associate of mine. He works in the ministry"
Kacy shook hands with Malfoy and said "Do I need to curtsy to you Mr. Malfoy?"
There was a pause between the two until Dominic cleared his throat loudly that his father came out of the stunned silence.
"Very smart girl you have there, Potter, just like her mother." Malfoy turned and beckoned at his son to follow.
"Father, are you mad at me?" Kacy inquired unceremoniously.
"No, I was just reminded by that git, I mean Mr. Malfoy about your mother." Harry hastily replied.
"Oh, so can you tell me about her? I hardly know anything about her."
"Um, well, she's a very bright witch. She used to help me and your Uncle Ron during our school days, and she was one of my bestfriends. She looks a lot like you, she had curly, brown hair just like yours, and the shape of her face is like yours too. She had honey colored eyes and red, full lips; those are what you didn't get from her." Narrated Harry.
Kacy sighed and thought about her mother.
"Do you think her...yawn"
"And now, it's time for us to go home, where's your Uncle Ron?"
They left Diagon Alley and headed for the Burrow to visit the Weasleys and get the remaining things Kacy left during her stay.
"Kacy!" Ginny flung herself onto the arms of Kacy who looked mildly surprised to see Ginny
"Aunt Ginny, I thought you were at Romania with Uncle Charlie?"
"Oh, I just couldn't help not meeting with my favorite girl, especially before her first year at Hogwarts!"
"I'm so happy to see you!" Kacy said gleefully.
"Me too!"
"Ginny, I thought you wouldn't be back until next month?" Harry suddenly interrupted.
"Oh, I want to go with Kacy tomorrow at platform 9¾, if it's all right with you, Harry."
"Of course it is!"
"Oh I'm so excited!" Ginny exclaimed.
"You could sleep at our house so we'll all go together!" Kacy interrupted.
"Good idea Kay!" Ginny assumed. "If it's alright with your dad."
"Sure, why not!"
The three of them traveled by Floo powder to go back to the Potters' house, ate dinner and slept early for the trip tomorrow.
Morning came too fast. Harry, Kacy and Ginny traveled to King's Cross and went through the barrier at Platform 9¾. Kacy was surprised to see the scarlet engine of the Hogwarts Express even though she already read about it in Hogwarts, a History, it was huge!
"I remember the first time I came to Hogwarts," said Ginny, seeing the startled look on Kacy's face.
"Yeah," Harry assumed "Brings back a lot of memories…happy memories." Ginny grimaced at Harry.
Deep down inside; Kacy was ever so curious of what it was like to be in Hogwarts, with her mother.
When Kacy entered the train, she saw two boys, second years she presumed, bullying a little boy with crimson hair.
"Hey, give us your chocolate frog or else!" said a fat, brown headed one.
"Yeah, we're hungry!" said an olive skinned boy.
Just before the trembling hand of the first year reached the boys' hands, she uttered an incantation that made the two boys hover in midair.
"I've wanted to do that for years since I got my hands on father's wand." She muttered excitedly.
"Thank you." Said the mousy-haired boy and ran away.
"You're welcome." She replied cheerily.
"Hey get us down from her!" cried the two second years.
"With pleasure." She lifted the spell and the two boys fell to the floor with a loud thud.
It was 1:00 pm and Kacy was sitting alone in her compartment reading her favorite book; Hogwarts, a History. She's been sitting there stiff for 2 whole hours and she was getting very hungry. Finally, a young blonde witch came with the food trolley.
"Hello," the witch greeted. "Anything from the trolley?"
"Oh, yes please!" Kacy exclaimed frenziedly. "I'd have five pumpkin pasties and two chocolate frogs please."
"Hungry, are you dear?"
"Yes, pretty much…oh! And I'd also have one flask of pumpkin juice"
Kacy ate her lunch quite enthusiastically, seeing as she was starving to death. Until a tall figure with white blonde hair appeared at the compartment door. He was accompanied by a dark haired boy with olive skin.
"Hello, Ms. Potter" the blonde haired boy uttered.
"You're the boy from Diagon Alley, Malfoy, right?"
"Actually, it's Dominic." Dominic smirked, that legendary smirk that was once plastered to Draco Malfoy, his father's face. "And you?"
Kacy didn't realize that this was a sign of enmity and thought that he was making friends with her. She smiled; her first true smile for months.
"Oh, I'm Kacy; I'm very pleased that someone came to talk to me at last!" Kacy beamed. The dark haired boy chuckled at Kacy's words.
"She thinks you're making friends with her Malfoy!"
"Oh," said Kacy apparently taken aback. "So you're not?"
"Shut up, Zabini!" bellowed Dominic, for his friend was laughing uncontrollably. "No, Nathan here has told me what you just did to him and my other mate. Shame on you. And you're just a first year too."
"Well, if you call those buffoons your friends, then maybe you torment defenseless first years too." Kacy cried out.
"As a matter of fact, yes I do. And I quite enjoy it too. It has been a little pastime of mine." He said coolly
"Really? Then who bullied you when you were a first year?"Kacy couldn't contain herself anymore, but managed to keep a blank, expressionless face while saying these words.
Dominic flushed a bright shade of red and blurted out: "That's none of your business, you...you filthy half-blood! You're just like your smutty mudblood mother! Useless and incompetent fools!"
At first it looked like Kacy's face was as composed as ever until she stepped forward at Malfoy and smacked him right at the face, which made his flushed cheeks grow an even darker shade of scarlet.
"How dare you!" Kacy bellowed. "How dare you talk of my mother that way? You don't even know her!"
"You know what, Malfoy? You're pathetic! You judge other people by the means of their blood, but not even knowing them! What about you? Noble reign of Malfoys who just can't shut up about their stinking gold, but just a pile of dismal losers who harass people weaker than themselves. On the contrary you know, you're the ones who are weaker! We, half-bloods and muggleborns still have a face to show after it gets spattered in the mud, because we got soiled for dignity and loyalty."
"So, this makes it all clear, that we are enemies now doesn't it?"
Kacy snickered discriminatorily. "That's very improbable, you know. If you came to this compartment to make foes, then you should've just hexed me as soon as I got in this train. That would've made it easier. For both of us."
