Chapter 4: The-Boy-who-is-a-girl

Harry stood into a large room. The walls were covered with big bookshelves and all kind of strange pictures. From the ceiling hang a big globe and In the middle of the room stood an old wood desk with a man sitting in it. "Hello, young Lady. How can I-" Harry heard the fire behind him and turned around to see Hagrid coming out of it.

"Ah, you made it. Professor!" said Hagrid and hurried over to the desk where the man sat. Harry followed him slowly while he looked at a picture with a man sitting in a chair and a book in his hands. Wait. Did this picture just fucking move?! "Something terrible happened! Harry is a girl!" The old man look confused at Hagrid. "Slow down Hagrid. What exactly happened?" The big man took a deep breath before he began to speak. "Harry was in Ollivander's to get his wand. When he found it, he turned into a bloody girl!" The old man looked angry at Hagrid. "This is not the time for jokes, Hagrid. I think we have more important things to discuss." The man's look fell back onto some parchment on his desk.

"I'm not joking professor! He...She is Harry!" said Hagrid while he pointed at the small girl. The man now looked up again and eyed the black haired girl for a moment. "But...how? Something like that is not possible Hagrid." Dumbledore stood up and slowly walked over to Harry. "Are you really...Harry Potter?" So...seems like people switching gender is not a normal thing in the magical world. Why is always everything happening to me? "Y-Yes." said Harry softly. "By Merlin's beard..." The old man turned around to face Hagrid again. "And you saw it happen?"

Hagrid came closer and looked sadly at Harry. "Yes Professor. Swear if I didn't see myself, I wouldn't believe it. Can ya make him...her...into a boy again?" asked the giant of a man. "Hagrid, I have no idea what happened. You said he touched his wand and then...this...happened." The old man touched his long beard with a thoughtful expression and watched Harry closely. "Hagrid, please get Severus and Minerva. And tell Severus to bring Veritaserum. I have to verify what you just told me."

Harry sat now in a chair across from the headmaster's desk. The old man, Hagrid, a dark clothed man and an old woman all staring at him. "Are you Harry James Potter, son of James Potter and Lily Evans?" said the old man carefully. "Yes." The old woman and Dumbledore both gasped in surprise. The man with the dark clothing just stared shocked at the girl. "There you have it Professor Dumbledore, like I told ya." said Hagrid with an angry undertone. "I'm sorry Hagrid, but I just had to verify." said Dumbledore.

"How is something like this even possible, Albus?" said the woman while she looked at Harry in disbelief. "I don't know Minerva. Maybe the wand canceled some kind of magical effect or-" The old man stopped suddenly and hurried over to his desk. He then placed a large book on the table, after he took it out from a drawer. "The students list for this year..." He looked intensely at the book and mumbled some things to himself. "How is this possible? Harry Potter is no longer on the list...instead, there is a girl listed that was not listed before. Her name is Katelyn Vinda Black." Now everybody looked again at Harry. "W-What does that mean, Professor?" said Harry. Seriously, can they please fucking stop gawking at me all the time? "I'm afraid I don't know, Harry. But I can tell you that the students book is a magical artifact and always writes the right names and addresses down. This means not only your looks changed...no...your whole magical identity became that of a female, and it seems like you're a female of the house Black." This doesn't really sound like he can change me back.

"What does that mean Professor? I saw the boy when his parents were killed. There is no way that he was a girl. I would have noticed. Not to mention that I never heard of any kind of magic that changed genders!" What does he mean with "when my parents were killed"? "I know Severus. I'll go to the ministry right tomorrow in the morning. But first we have to prepare the greeting of the students. It's almost time." the old man now looked at Harry again. "My boy...Harry...I'm sorry that I can't help you right now. This is something I never encountered before, but I ensure you I will find a way to turn you back to being a boy. I promise you that." Harry looked concerned at the old man. This was not what he wanted to hear.

"Hagrid, did you get all the school supplies before coming here?" Hagrid turned his head now away from Harry and looked at Dumbledore. "No Professor. After I saw what happened, we came immediately to you." Dumbledore placed a hand on Harry's shoulder and looked him into the eyes. "Harry...the greeting of the students starts soon. I will order a house elf to buy your remaining school materials. I promise you we'll talk tomorrow when I come back come the ministry and look for a way to turn you back. For now, please follow Minerva. She will get your measurements so the house elf can buy you some fitting clothes. I promise you we find a way to turn you back, okay?" he looked at Harry as if he was waiting for a 'Okay. Thank you'. Harry just simply just nodded. "I think all of you understand that it is the best, if what happened, stays in this room. I will also talk to Mr. Ollivander about this." Everybody nodded. "Mr. Potter, please follow me." said the old woman before she led him out of the room.

"I'm not going to wear that!" Professor McGonagall sighed. "I understand how you must feel, Ms. Black. But this is the normal Hogwarts uniform for girls". Did she just fucking call me Ms. Black?! "I'm not wearing a skirt! And what the hell is it with calling me Ms. Black?!" yelled Katelyn, before she noticed that she just yelled at a teacher. "S-Sorry." She lowered her head and looked down at her feet. "I-I won't do it again. B-But I understand if you must punish me." She took a deep breath. "I-I'm ready."

Professor McGonagall looked at her shocked. She took a step forward and carefully placed a hand on the girls shoulder. "I don't know what you have experienced in your previous life and I'm more than a bit disturbed that you expected me to hurt you, but let me tell you that I'm not going to hurt you, Katelyn." said the older woman softly. Katelyn looked up to her. "But as Professor Dumbledore already told you, not only your appearance changed, your identity changed as well. So until we know more, it's the best if you introduce yourself as Katelyn Black and that means you will also be called by that name. I just want you to get comfortable with it." This is the second time that I got not hit, although I deserved it. Is this going to become a normal thing now? "O-Okay."

Professor McGonagall smiled softly at her. "Just don't do it again, okay? And please understand that this closeness is just because of your current situation. Surely you know that in class we can't keep this up. After all I'm still your teacher. But besides from that, if you ever need to talk privately, I'll be there." Katelyn now had a small smile on her lips. "Thank you Professor. I promise to behave myself in the future." The older woman grabbed a grey skirt from the shelf next to them and held it out to Katlyn. "Good. So now that this is out of the way, why don't you put that on. We don't want to be late when Hagrid arrives with the first years."
