Disclaimer: All settings, characters and ideas you recognize belong to the great J.K.Rowling, her various publishers and a lot of other companies. I am merely writing this as a tribute to the great JKR.
The idea main plot idea of this story belongs to bugeyedmonster2 and his "miniature lily" challenge.
This is an answer to the miniature Lily challenge by bugeyedmonster2 over at PaS.
What if Harry had red hair instead of dark messy hair? And/or was a girl? If Harry had resembled his mother, how would Snape have responded to Harry? Imagine Snape's reaction on seeing a version of Lily in miniature. How would this have affected the HP storyline?
The whole story has been written in 100 word drabbles. I wrote 7 drabbles for every year. So all together this story has exactly 4900 words (counted with ms word).
Although my native language is German and not English I tried to make it as legible as possible. I hope you enjoy my first fan fiction and please review.
Kathryn
She was a witch, like her mother and father. Kathryn Potter was so happy. She would go to a boarding school far away from the Dursleys, far away from the cupboard under the stairs. Going to a boarding school would also mean she would eave her cousind Duddly behind. She really hated her Duddly, for he was mean and devious. lookily he did not beat her. Aunt Petunia had mad him stopp because she was afraid of the gossiping neigbours. What would it look like if a stron beated a tiny girl? Sometimes it was good to be a girl.
Severus
Professor Severus Snape sat at his usual spot at the high table. He watched with little interesst as the sorting hat performed its song. He clapped dutifully, as Draco Malfoy was sorted into Slytherin. McGonagalls call of „Kathryn Potter" finally got his attention. Looking up Severus spewed his pumpkin juice all over the head table. This girl looked exactly like her.
Long red hair was flowing down the childs back. Bright green eyes shone in a delicate face. Memories and feelings he had thought long forgotten sudddenly begann to surface, He sighed, this was no good, no good at all.
Kathryn
You look exactly like your mother. After a week of classes Kathryn was unsure if she ever wanted to here this words again. Most people treated her as something special, She could not walk along the hallways without students pointing at her and staring at her scar.
Taking a seat next to her fellow Griffindor Hermione Granger Kathryn waited for her first potions lesson to beginn. Suddenly the door banged open. Kathryn could here a intake of breath as Professor Snape entered the room. Immediatly his eyes seemed to seek her out Kathryn swallowed, Potions was deffinitly not going to be her favourite subject.
Severus
Red long hair dancing in the wind, bright green eyes looking directly into his soul... He did not need to look twice to know what the mirror of Erised showed him. Severus found himself wondering what Little Lily – no Kathryn he corrected himself – would see. Perhaps her mother and father? Herself catching the snitch in a match against Slytherin? She is just another troublesome Gryffindor. There was no way in hell that he had any feelings towards the girl. Lily in the mirror blew him a kiss and reached out towards him. Severus turned away. He could not stand this.
Kathryn
Waking up, eating breakfast, going to class, doing Homework. After six month of classes Kathryn knew the daily Hogwarts routine by heart. He also knew how to find his way in ever class much faster now, for the Weasley twins had shown him various short cuts. Altogether live in Hogwarts was good. The only dark mark on her life was Severus Snape. She was sure that the Potion Professor was up to something. In addition he treated her worse than any other Gryffindor. Kathryn had no idea, why he would do so. She had never wronged him, not ever.
Severus
Miss Potter along with her friends Mr. Weasly and Miss Granger had done the unthinkable. They had followed Quirell through the trap door. Stupid children. They could not keep their little noses out of adults business. If they had not followed Quirell... All would have been well. Dumbledore's and his plan had been perfect. Quirell would have been trapped in front of the Mirror of Erised, where Dumbledore would have arrested him. Then they would have tried to send Voldemorts spirit into the next realm. But thanks to Kathryn Potter the spirit of the Dark Lord had vanished once again.
Kathryn
When she opened her eyes she was surrounded by darkness. After a brief moment of disorientation she recognized the hospital wing. Suddenly she saw a movement in the corner of her eyes. Before she could turn her head to have a better view she heard someone mutter "Lumos", and Snape appeared in her field of vision. "I'm thirsty." she told him. To her surprise he conjured her a large glass of cold water. "Drink.", was all he said before he left the hospital wing. Lying back in her bed, Kathryn trough that maybe Snape was not so bad after all.
